If you accept 1 simple fact that 99% of the characters in the roster have bs moves, and that it is part of the game, then you might actually have fun in this game, otherwise you will cry and complain that game is not fair, which is understandable but it is what it is. There is nothing like this game in the market. Great practice mode, good customization, and pleanlty of players in ranked in all levels. Friendly suggestion, find a character you think is cool and play it, regardless of strenght, that will be the main reason you return to this game again and again.

Delusional devs. Each patch buffs offense and adds new moves, instead of buffing defensive. In all other Tekken Games incl. T8 season 1, i had fun even when losing because i knew what i was doing wrong and could learn from these situations. But now it´s the matter who plays more aggressive... It´s not fun anymore playing this game and that says something when a game, especially Tekken, THE fighting is not fun anymore.

Много лет назад отец купил первую плойку и самой первой игрой , в которую Я сыграл был теккен, правда второй теккен... вчера исполнилось 14 лет,как не стало отца, а Я все продолжаю играть в него, вспоминая те чудесные дни проведённые вместе...все попытки пройти игру, все сражения против друг друга, было весело...P.S. НИЧЕГО ДАВАТЬ, ЛАЙКАТЬ ИЛИ КИДАТЬ НАГРАДЫ НЕ НУЖНО!!!!!! ЭТО НЕ СКАМ СТОРИ,ЗЛЫЕ ВЫ УЕБ**Ы, Я ПРОСТО ХОТЕЛ ПОДЕЛИТЬСЯ СВОЕЙ ИСТОРИЕЙ, КАКИХ МИЛЛИАРДЫ В ЭТОМ МИРЕ.

Plays like Tekken. I like the roster. Mechanics feel fine. Game is AGGRESIVELY monetized. DLC prices are ridiculous, even on sale, can't even test locked characters in practice. Full priced game trying to shill battle passes. This much greed gets the downthumb.

The moment you take this game seriously it sucks all the actual fun out of the game, don't fall into the trap.

Mortal Kombat отсосал в стороне! Превосходная 8 часть файтинга, великолепная графика и детализация персонажей, ни копейки не жалею на такой шедевр, а Жена сказала воткнет мне столько пальцев в жопу сколько тут будет ваших лайков, поддержите Мужики!

Season 3 was the final straw. It’s clear the balance philosophy is no longer about competitive integrity or player satisfaction. Every major patch feels like it does the opposite of what the players want. There are better fighting games out there that actually respect the player's time and feedback.

I honestly can’t recommend this to anyone who values their sanity. The mechanics feel half baked and oddly designed. Instead of rewarding solid fundamentals, spacing, and smart decision making, the game often favors constant pressure and button mashing. Neutral barely feels relevant, and the risk and reward balance seems completely off. Skill expression is still there, but it’s buried under forced aggression and endless flowchart strings. Matches frequently turn into chaotic scrambles rather than thoughtful exchanges. If you enjoy disciplined play, proper footsies, and meaningful interaction, this might not be the experience you are looking for. Really disappointing overall.

Maybe I need training. Maybe I don't get T8, but literally ♥♥♥♥ this Super Street Fighter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Turbo ass game. Going from T7 to T8 is like playing Street Fighter 2 and going to Street Fighter 6. Call me old or Unc, idgaf. Can't do ♥♥♥♥ against these hyper offensive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moves and it all just feels "YOLO" as ♥♥♥♥. I'm done for a minute until this whole "back to basics" update is live. Is anyone gonna read this? Probably not, but I needed to vent because ♥♥♥♥ this wannabe Tekken ass game. Thank you.

Fighting games are a huge commitment in time and Bandai Namco have repeatedly demonstrated they don't respect yours. They have lied constantly since the launch of the game and relied on the promise that "It will get better in the future" and "We are listening to your feedback" - but this isn't true. Do not give this team your precious money and/or time. They don't deserve it. You deserve better.

хочется приковать Хараду к батарее и спрашивать "лоу или мид?" и за каждый ответ хуярить металлической трубой его по коленям

Засунуть белый ШАР в баттл пасс и весь кастомайз из Теккена 7 в платный пасс. Харада, тебе не кажется, что первоапрельская шутка немного затянулась?! Остановись, нам Теккен шопа хватило.

Игра просто замечательная! Была... Потом добавили Эдди, на котором я апнул ванквишера буквально 1 кнопкой. Без использования кнопок передвижения и любых других ударов кроме спама 3-йки. Кто-то может сказать что ванквишер не высокий ранг, и будет прав. Вот только на условной Нине я до него добирался часов 40, когда на Эдди потребовалось часов 5 и одна кнопка. UPD: Уже дестроер, все еще одна кнопка. UPD2: Взял элиминатора, также одной кнопкой UPD3: Я апнул Гарью, это не игра, это цирк
