Let's be real Tekken 8 is not a fighting game anymore it's a full-time job disguised as entertainment, If you're thinking about casually picking it up and "Getting good" let me save you the trouble, You won't. Not unless you're ready to sacrifice your social life, Your sleep schedule and maybe your sanity too.

The skill ceiling in Tekken 8 is absolutely ridiculous, Learning a single character takes hundreds of hours, And memorizing a million move lists, Mastering frame data, Combo strings, Wall combos, Heat mechanics, Sidesteps, Punishes. You're basically studying for a PhD, and just when you think you're "Getting good," You'll get absolutely clowned on by someone who clearly hasn't left their rat infested basement since Tekken 3.

God forbid if you're a function part of society, If you actually have a job, School, Or responsibilities, You'll never catch up. This game isn't built for normal people. Its built for people that can dedicate 10+ hours a day perfecting micro-movements and frame-perfect inputs. And Everyone else? You're just a test dummy for them

It's honestly so sad, One second you feel good landing a decent combo or punish, And the next you get hit with an hour long combo that deletes your health bar before you can even think about pressing a button. No mercy. No learning curve. Just pure, Relentless gatekeeping by sweaty die-hards who live and breathe this game.

Unless you're ready to lose hundreds of hours of your life with little to no visible progress, stay as far away from this game.

So unfortunate, what a great game with great potential to be the best fighting of the generation. But got flung out the window by people who don't know what they were doing.
