Oh. I see.
I'm really liking this game. I played every Tekken religiously except 7, but man I wanna learn so many characters. I'ma have to pace myself. Hasn't been like this since DR.
Reina, Cena, and Victor are all so fun.
Edit: These stages break into completely different areas that can be their own stages.
And I"m sad King didn't suplex a tank in the story.

Wanted to give Tekken another shot and got the ultimate edition. Is there a SF6 character like guide or a way to slow down the game to practice input timing?
Tried to play Leo and seeing 100+ line items in the move list. Just felt overwhelmed and underserved, so I kinda just gave up lol.
Its kinda like taking a class and the syllabus is just a 20 page cut out of a dictionary. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with this information. 😅

If it's like T7 there's some wall run or jump you can do when your back is to the wall. But I think it's pretty situational cus it leaves you vulnerable so you don't see it so much. I forget the input.

I'm not sure I'd say SF6 looks a generation behind, but I am appreciative that everything looks so high-fidelity in Tekken 8.
It makes those character model comparison videos all the more necessary. And speaking of:
Let it be known that I don't think everyone looked bad in Tekken 7, but I would say that I think almost everyone got a glow-up in the face and especially hair department in Tekken 8. Of course, I actually think Tekken 8 is the first game in the series where I generally like the in-game look of the graphics since Tekken 5. Tekken 6 is graphically impressive but does suffer a bit from early 7th-gen-bloomitis. Meanwhile, Tag 2's models are sound but I dislike the prominent shadowing under everyone's eyes.
Wanted to ask again if there's a difference in netcode performance on console vs PC, if one is doing it better than the other.
Also where people are getting their codes on the cheap? I'm debating on some $50 ones I'm seeing, if I could get it in the $40-$45 range I'd be more willing.

Maining Victor is the easiest choice I've ever made in a fighting game. Dude is so sick-looking and fits me like a glove, can't believe I got to skip the character crisis phase I usually have on every FG.
Game is absurdly good, haven't even touched story mode yet but the practice and replay features are honestly blowing me away.
I'm off for tonight but if anyone's looking for games in future - RaphiVsWorld on PSN (UK/EU, beginner-intermediate level I guess?)

Hey the online is actually working well for me today, this is great! I hope I didn't just jinx myself.
That is a really good call actually. I have kinda been neglecting Heat and Rage stuff because I've just been trying to get my head around the normal stuff. I'll give that a go.
Any standard juggle combo into a Rage Art ender should work, or any combo that gets them close enough to the wall that doing b+1, 4 should get them to hit the wall and the wall combo damage should get you over.
A couple of other specific examples:
Mid-stage you could hit a CH f+4 (get the AI to block d/f+3 then do it, that has a decent chance of hitting counter-hit) ⏵ d/f+3+4 (easier than trying to do iWS 2) ⏵BT 3,4 ⏵b+1,4 T! ⏵f,f+3~f ⏵DEW 1,4.
Mid-stage while already in Heat, you could hit f,f+3~f ⏵DEW 2,1~f HD! ⏵d/f+2~b ⏵ BT 3,4 ⏵b+1,4 T! ⏵ f,f+3~f ⏵ DEW 1,4 (The damage on this is kind of wild, as everything up to the heat dash has no damage scaling. Also worth remember that if you're not in heat, f,f+3~f on hit will link into DEW 2,1 on normal hit and put you into Heat).

ThatBlastedSalami did some great character breakdowns for T7. I'd keep an eye on his channel as I'm sure there'll be some relevant stuff for beginners coming up.
Otherwise, you can see the cheat sheets posted in the thread. You never need the 100 moves in the list, just 10 or so as your quick defense options, punishes, short combos to get you started. I still just launch and mash with most of the cast so far lol
A doc I saw someone put together that is a nice cheatsheet for most chars. Few missing info (leo for example)
Tekken 8 Library - Google Drive
docs.google.com
We need it threadmarked
That's encouraging! Thank you I'll keep an eye out.
I just need a few bread and butters and a character overview.
A big point of this game, is to use moves which activate heat as part of the move and then do moves and Combos which are enhanced or only available in heat. And then do your super special move right before your guage runs out.
This little shit max needs to jog on with his mid match backseat gamer"advice"
* Getting juggled by the CPU into rage life and then death before I could even get back control *
"Woah watch out, you're in rage"
"Oh, you should've used your rage art!"
Mate, if you know a way for me to do that midway through being combo'd I'm all ears

While everyone was whining about how they can possibly redeem Jin, I give credit to the team for showing us how it's done and it's even more impactful when you factor in that it's coming from a Japanese studio. It's honestly not something that has crossed my mind in these discussions until playing through this game. I suppose if even Godzilla is humanized in tragic depictions, so too can a young, misguided devil man.
It's not like you have 100 different options in any given situation. Some moves are only useful in combos, for example. You just gotta play around with a move and categorise where it would be useful.
Leo has a jumping kick that leaves the opponent airborne. Cool, you know what's a way to start combos.
Leo has a string of hits starting from a quick jab. That's probably a safe way to start offense at close range. Fast, low damage moves are usually safe on block and less likely to be interrupted.
Leo has a low sweeping kick followed by a big hit that knocks down. Cool, I can use that if my opponent is blocking my jab string.
Leo has a roundhouse kick with a blue streak. That blue streak means it's a homing move. Homing moves hit opponents side stepping.
Just commit things like this to memory and use that as a starting point. Try to remember some basic moves and then keep building on those as you play more.
Been messing with the character customization, I know it's getting praise but it feels worse then Tekken 7 for me due to the lack of preview before selecting, much more limited range of items and clothing and for some reason I find it really hard to make dark brown hair.
Made Anna Williams and Violet for myself and also this because it was the first thing I thought with I saw the red stripped jumper... I'm a bad person.

Bryan Freddy.
Same. My thumb is in pain. Hopefully I don't regret this leverless stick I ended up buying.
If it's your first time then you'd probably deal with wrist pain and carpal tunnel rather than thumb pain. Until you get used to it.
Thank you. That's all makes sense and that's exactly the kind of tips the SF6 tutorial provides. But my main gripe was how would I have known any of that if I didn't post in this forum. I didn't know what that blue streak meant.
Sorry if I seemed upset too. I'm just annoyed cause I want to like this game. I'll probably pick it back up if they patch in SF6 character like tutorial or the ThatBasedSalami or any YouTube channel has a really good overview video.
His design is sick and his gameplay is really fun. Might start playing him seriously in this game.
God bless this game for letting me use the Tekken Tag character select theme for character selection.

Slow mo is hype. I wish I could spam replays like in madden. And I feel like you could spam replays in either Soul Calibur or Virtua fighter
Well I guess it depends on how your posture is on a keyboard. If you're not used to using all the fingers then it might be sore when learning but you get over it after a few days imo
Left ring finger specifically. Takes some time to get used to using.
Have you played the Arcade quest? It goes over all the different types of moves in tutorials and the NPC Max has these for each character. It has a tutorial for the homing moves specifically.
I'm fine with keyboard on desk, but I bought my stick with the intention of using on my lap, so yeah, I'm sure I'll have to get used to it. In long the run, the goal is to be more comfortable, so a couple days of adjustment isn't so bad.
Gotcha I only played past the initial match with Max.
So is Tekken mainly about doing air combos? Like the goal is to get the opponent in the air? I always thought that was an opt-in play style, not like the proper way to play. Idk if that makes sense lol. I should primarily be learning the moves that will open up into air combos?
As someone who was a little cold about Reina, I gotta say, she's probably my favorite newcomer since tekken 5. I now absolutely love how clean and simple her design is.
I would def love more new characters like her. Such a shame Shaheen couldnt get the same love :(

It is certainly the most efficient way of doing damage. Find bread and butter juggles for a character that feels good to you.
I feel like Harada saw some comments complaining about T7's character customization options and was petty enough to remember them and to make T8's exactly the same or just slightly worse.
You really get me 🤝
Bro I've been running into Kumas, I'm like "The fuck is thisssss?!" lmao
I finally sat down to watch my replays and lemme tell ya, you fucking Steve players are cooked now.
Well yes, but also no. Most launchers are unsafe and easy to punish or whiff punish. While learning these combos is integral to winning, building a solid fundation and WHEN to use these moves will allow you to be a stronger player way faster.
It's exactly like a real martial art when you think about it. You need to jab in order to uppercut ;)
Is anyone else on PC experiencing terrible textures like this at times? I'm using TSR at 80%, textures on High.
