Having a game mode without heat would help so many new players in t8 truly understand ss and other fundamentals that heat just hand feeds you.

I also revisited T7 recently. I waited 20 minutes to find a King player on a 3 bar connection in the middle east. Then I went offline into practice mode and had fun with the combos and characters who aren't in T8 like Heihachi, Marduk, and Akuma. I did Shiro Combo with Steve, Akuma's FADC TOD, and Heihachi's OTGF combos. I mainly played for Heihachi because of the hype of his return in Tekken 8. I tried to play online player matches but there were only teal rank players in the lobbies, and I didn't want to fight noobs because that's evil.
Bro...I never played Tekken 1, when it came out. I think the first Tekken I saw was Tekken 2. I can't even remember if I played it or not. I for sure played Eddy Gordo in Tekken 3. The rest is history.

@Beforezzz Why would you compare the end of games life cycle to the very beginning of a new game? Like of course the balance would be better they had plenty of time to cook. IMO comparing the beginning of T7 to T8 would make more sense.
T7 is much more toned down, everyone aggres that t8 charcters are almost just as strong as each other but the power creep is so high that you can call the game unbalanced, even when t7 first released the power creep wasn't this high.
Do you play on tournaments? Because I barely fought an Akuma online and that is what always confuses me when people complain about the 2D stuff. The usage stats also say the same thing

@@zato-1766 yes all the songs from the previous games even per round. Day one I changed almost every song and scene except for the character's customize screen.
Maybe Tekken 7 is not balanced as 8, but at least characters have different archetype. Very easy to balance a fighting game where all fighters plays the same fucking rushdown playstyle.
Maybe in season 1 and 2, definitely not by season 3 and beyond (Source: me being Emperor in Tekken 7 and pretty shit but purple ranks were free wins for me, just like how it is in Tekken 8)
Lol after 7 years of release you can think that they would be good? Tekken 8 it's only been like what 8 months? Tekken 7 was filled of veterans like with every tekken game towards the end of its life. Tekken 8 will prob be filled with the same after 3 years.
Right? People’s recency bias is showing heavily this time around. Now in T8 you’re essentially forced to be aggressive with the heat system or otherwise you’re put at a massive disadvantage.
And being put on Tekken 8 instead. Once tekken 9 is out, we will all look back on how absolute horrendous the gameplay was thanks to the dumb heat system.
If we just focus on the gameplay, than this is still better than Heat into forced 50 / 50 IMO. Also characters felt more unique like the 2D characters (obvious Akuma bias here lol)
Because on T8 you can bound your opponent at the wall, so a wall bounce would always mean a full combo. (I dislike T8's wall bound tbh, it streamlines combos in a really boring way.)
Honestly for someone who’s played both games for an equal amount of time, the electric effects both in sound design and visuals isn’t really that great in this game imo.
Yeah one of the reasons I stopped playing Tekken was because you never get to play the game.... 90% of the games "Are you ready for the next batte..... OOK... seriously... the next battle is coming........ Are you ready???? No really this time..... THE NEXT BATTLE!!!!" then you see the stats screen... then you see the vs screen..... then you FINALLY get into the battle.... So you fight this person ur against, and it's the final final round, and you lose by one hit and you're sent back to the waiting area because they quit on you after one single match.
God watching this makes me miss T7. I'm in a crisis and I legit cant stand T8 and I'm in blue ranks. And have been on and off of T8 cause I want to enjoy the game. But I really can't. I legit hate the fact that when I'm putting pressure on someone and they get 2 seconds of space they activate heat and completely stop my momentum. Its infuriating. People dont even block they just push the brain rot button. If heat was tied to rage or something similar to a rage drive It would be bearable imo. But I'm just having the hardest time enjoying T8.
the T8 system is simply trash, designed for an easy (ab)use! Defense is the hardest things to learn there is! It requires knowledge, experience, patience, reaction and execution! So they threw it away, by focusing on braindead aggression! T8 is an embarrassment for the whole series…
Tekken 8 is insanely stupid with the plus frame tracking heat smashes and Heat Bursts that STILL steal turns if you didn't get a hard read. Power Crushes becoming safe when you press into them is also dumb as hell. And ofc the absurd wall carry and length of combos when you have tailspin.
I feel you Bro. There are so many stupid gimmicks to support beginners but it started with Tekken 7 already and Armor and Rage Arts. None of this stuff should be in the game and it ruins it for me tbh. Its no fun learning how to attack and to defend if a single button press also does the job for you. Tekken is ruined
I legit will blame DOA 5-6 director Shimbori. The reason a lot of DOA players stopped playing 6 was cause they added a meter system similar to T8 there's a universal meter used for offense and defense and its just as bad.

It was in a video about fatigue in t8, some people complain they have to read too much and think too much specially on 50/50 after heat engagers 😂
I've seen some mods for that, though of course even if they work,
both players would have to install it to make a noticeable difference over time.
The load times are a big reason “deathmatch” and rematching culture is so strong in Tekken, that new T8 players seem confused about.
I fought a ling who manhandled me like crazy for 26 games and we kept rematching
i wish we could play deathmatch without heat and rage art in T8 as a newer player. Would help with learning the fundamentals.
@nonhan1801 rage is just a comback mechanic but heat is definately part of fundamentals in this game
@@hiimpranav i meant fundamentals as in movement, when to use which attacks. Having a longer, slower paced match would help with that.

Dang why’d doesn’t anyone seem to like 8. I love 8 and it’s hella fun I just don’t get it.
Opressive and very noob friendly heat system , games overly aggressive@@nick2cut
@@nick2cutbecause you're bad at the game
Det är alltid kul när man hittar en fellow svensk på youtube😂
Tekken 7 is so much better, actually feels like you can breath a bit instead of non stop aggression.
so much better in every aspect , if u are legacy tekken player , cuz tekken 8 doesnt feel like tekken .
I disagree, it’s never always non stop aggression when I play and I play a lot of players/characters
Nah Tekken 7 didn't feel like Tekken. Weird ground physics made OTG hits and oki weird and movement was so slow. Far cry from Tekken 5 DR
@@boredomkiller99 So you think the oki we have now is better? That every mid hits you while you're on the floor?
@@boredomkiller99 what tekken 5 has to do with it? u should compare it to tekken 1 or 2 ,3 if u wanna talk about origin .
T7 main menu music had Solitude
Does tekken 8 not have it on the jukebox?
@@zato-1766it does, homie’s trippin
T8 menu music pretty good though. Im not gonna pretend it isnt.
@@zato-1766 yes all the songs from the previous games even per round. Day one I changed almost every song and scene except for the character's customize screen.
The music still holds up to this day tho
I literally play tekken 6 still
I miss Noctis and Negan. I still go back to play Tekken 7 because of them
Lei gets too much hate smh
1:53 Old man tries to keep up with the new generation
Maybe Tekken 7 is not balanced as 8, but at least characters have different archetype.
Very easy to balance a fighting game where all fighters plays the same fucking rushdown playstyle.
100% agree, people complaining about T7 like forever, but not see the problems with T8
always fun to come back for a little like this
20:30 purple ranks were actually good back then
Maybe in season 1 and 2, definitely not by season 3 and beyond
(Source: me being Emperor in Tekken 7 and pretty shit but purple ranks were free wins for me, just like how it is in Tekken 8)
Lol after 7 years of release you can think that they would be good? Tekken 8 it's only been like what 8 months? Tekken 7 was filled of veterans like with every tekken game towards the end of its life. Tekken 8 will prob be filled with the same after 3 years.
Damn the comparison T7 looks like grafics from PS2 😂
Tekken 7>> tekken 8
I used to have time to go boil my eggs in the loading screen and also take it back off the burner 😂
T7>T8 when it comes to Gameplay T7 actually doesnt force you to play a certain way if you felt like turtling or playing rush down you could
And counter offense with sidesteps since there weren't tracking Heat Smashes
@@SnowflakeSSQ true or Counter offense with Magic 4s so your opponent actually had to use his brain to bait the Magic 4
Right? People’s recency bias is showing heavily this time around. Now in T8 you’re essentially forced to be aggressive with the heat system or otherwise you’re put at a massive disadvantage.
To be fair. Geese is like playing a Tekken 8 character in Tekken 7 :D
Its actually insane the difference between T7 Kazuya compared to T8. Looks like whole other character.
That Bryan was trying to do a Tekken 8 combo 🤣🤣
Finally the rose-tinted glasses are coming of for this game
He’s lying
And being put on Tekken 8 instead. Once tekken 9 is out, we will all look back on how absolute horrendous the gameplay was thanks to the dumb heat system.
If we just focus on the gameplay, than this is still better than Heat into forced 50 / 50 IMO. Also characters felt more unique like the 2D characters (obvious Akuma bias here lol)
I wonder, why did Tekken 8 remove wall bounce?
Cuz it looked dumb lol
Every stages has a wall bounce now thats why lmao
Because on T8 you can bound your opponent at the wall, so a wall bounce would always mean a full combo. (I dislike T8's wall bound tbh, it streamlines combos in a really boring way.)
Heat rush-wb - full combo. Nice balance
I will say about Tekken 7, my friends and I are casuals and we preferred to play Tekken 6 because the load times were more bearable
There’s no shot we’re saying Tekken 8 electric sound effect is better than 7… sounds like literal lightning man🤦🏼♀️
its almost like
nostalgia
Tekken 7's electric (and every other sound effect) sounds like amateur crap.
Nostalgia bias comment. You're dismissed.
Honestly for someone who’s played both games for an equal amount of time, the electric effects both in sound design and visuals isn’t really that great in this game imo.
@@DBTHEPLUG God forbid someone has an opinion. rope+chj
I passed out watching this on stream woke up and TMM was still on the loading screen 😂 😭 terrible game
All this did was make me want armor king back
complaining about 1 minute load times is crazy what has this world come to
Yeah one of the reasons I stopped playing Tekken was because you never get to play the game.... 90% of the games "Are you ready for the next batte..... OOK... seriously... the next battle is coming........ Are you ready???? No really this time..... THE NEXT BATTLE!!!!" then you see the stats screen... then you see the vs screen..... then you FINALLY get into the battle.... So you fight this person ur against, and it's the final final round, and you lose by one hit and you're sent back to the waiting area because they quit on you after one single match.
T7 is still better than t8 and i didnt even like t7 that much
Even though mainman was playing T7
This video was a great watch
God watching this makes me miss T7. I'm in a crisis and I legit cant stand T8 and I'm in blue ranks. And have been on and off of T8 cause I want to enjoy the game. But I really can't. I legit hate the fact that when I'm putting pressure on someone and they get 2 seconds of space they activate heat and completely stop my momentum. Its infuriating. People dont even block they just push the brain rot button. If heat was tied to rage or something similar to a rage drive It would be bearable imo. But I'm just having the hardest time enjoying T8.
the T8 system is simply trash, designed for an easy (ab)use! Defense is the hardest things to learn there is! It requires knowledge, experience, patience, reaction and execution! So they threw it away, by focusing on braindead aggression! T8 is an embarrassment for the whole series…
Tekken 8 is insanely stupid with the plus frame tracking heat smashes and Heat Bursts that STILL steal turns if you didn't get a hard read. Power Crushes becoming safe when you press into them is also dumb as hell. And ofc the absurd wall carry and length of combos when you have tailspin.
I feel you Bro. There are so many stupid gimmicks to support beginners but it started with Tekken 7 already and Armor and Rage Arts. None of this stuff should be in the game and it ruins it for me tbh.
Its no fun learning how to attack and to defend if a single button press also does the job for you. Tekken is ruined
I legit will blame DOA 5-6 director Shimbori. The reason a lot of DOA players stopped playing 6 was cause they added a meter system similar to T8 there's a universal meter used for offense and defense and its just as bad.
exactly my opinion. i play tekken 7 and only rarely 8
