Tekken 8 | Heihachi Gameplay Trailer

[Mr EliteL]

About the Eddy bot, I saw people already saying you can basically just use X/3 to win with Eddy but at least with the intention of playing the game with blocking, spacing and timing still so you're not just attacking when the opponent isn't right there. Though not surprised it can still be done just using X all the time. Got to find a way to interrupt him, is all.

I completely forgot EVO Japan was on, but cool to see a bunch of stuff anyway. Great to see Lidia return, she should've been base. I did want to use her in T7 but it was so late into the game's life where I was mostly done with it and couldn't get back in properly, so this time with her in earlier I'll buy her to use although I'll wait for a while at first. Free stage is good, Photo Mode is whatever to me, might use it once or twice. Ah the new chapter is for Autumn, so will that just be Eddy's inclusion or Lidia as well? Probably just Eddy for now.

I think once the Eddy got into higher ranks that players went into the matches not expecting it to just be doing such a simple thing, and it may even be that doing such a simple thing is such a rare sight at higher ranks that a lot of people didn't even realize what the Eddy was doing.

Alas, EddyBot is currently retired and this is the final stats for it:

• Total playtime: 142 hours 53 minutes
  
• Total matches: 3393
  
• Total winrate: 32.8%
  
• Total wins: 1115
  
• Highest rank: Eliminator
  
• Highest points: 17490
  
• Highest winstreak: 9 matches
  

Absolutely wild that it won 1/3 of all its matches. I'd love to see a break down of wins/losses at each rank it was at to see whether it remained at a consistent win rate or if the losses started to pile up the higher in the rankings it went.

Ignoring guest characters, out of the 11 original DLC characters for T7 only two of them were brought back as part of T8's base roster. With the addition of Lidia it's now up to 3/11, and I doubt it'll go much higher than that. I won't be surprised if any of the DLC characters who had poor usage such as Lei never show up in another Tekken game except for maybe TTT3.

[Mr EliteL]

Hot dang, 142/143 hours it played for. Ha...ha, my 42, although admittedly I've not played since late Feb, oops. 1/3 wins is pretty impressive for a bot that used a single button.

Yeah I'm wondering who else will get in previously DLC, Armor King I feel has the highest chance then probably Fahkumram, Julia, Marduk. The rest unlikely although I hope for Anna but she did have a low play rate unfortunately. Out of those four I only want to see Armor King and Julia make it but can see the other two getting in. Lei and Ganryu are just big fat No's.

To be fair that bot was playing non-stop from the minute it was turned on until it was turned off. It isn't really fair to judge your play time against it.

I'm trying to think off the top of my head who could be a DLC character that wasn't in T7 at all. Best I can think of is Miguel but I feel like anyone who was in T6 and not 7 has a very slim chance of showing up otherwise they'd have been put in 7.

[Mr EliteL]

Wait, Miguel was in T7's base roster. There were a few characters in T6 though that weren't in 7 but I think Zafina was previously the newcomer that initially wasn't in T7 until her DLC. So Bob, Leo, Miguel, Lars, Alisa were all in T7. Baek, Roger, Mokujin, Wang and Bruce are the other ones that have been missing for a while not counting Tag 2. I'm just unsure if any of them will get added but think they've got only slim chances too.

[Moonface]

Oh he was in 7? Oh right he was, that would explain how I vaguely remember he didn't really go after Jin like he should've or something.

I was looking at a list of character appearances by game to see if anyone was introduced in T6 and didn't come back but seems nobody got treated that badly. I did see a few characters I didn't recognize though and learned just now that Tekken Mobile existed and had an original villain by the name of Revenant.

[Mr EliteL]

Haha yeah the Tekken Mobile stuff. I thought I included them in my tier list back when I was predicting who will get in back on page 4 I believe, but I remembered I purposefully left them at the very bottom then cut it off to not show those random characters because they were nobodies to me.

[Moonface]

Huh, so I guess the developers forgot to give Asuka a neck? - https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/s/sLmMU6NhNR

With how all the character models in T8 come off to me as using one base male model and one base female model due to every single guy having the same ripped physique, I'd have thought an issue like this would either not happen or would affect more than one character.

[ShiraNoMai]

Did y'all know apparently Harada worked with Kishimoto (Naruto) on a costume design for Lars? It looks pretty sick.

[Mr EliteL]

About Asuka I never realised that as I've barely played her or against her to notice but that's mad. Can't even remember the scenes in story if the model there is the same with no neck too.

About Lars' costume by Kishimoto...I swear he got that in T6 but I might be mistaken and that was just Lars as a guest in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. I did play Lars like once in UNS2 but can't remember what he was like at all. In the concept design his legs are somewhat short though.

[Moonface]

I don't think Lars had an outfit like that for T6 nor as concept art for it. If I had access to my concept art book I got with my copy of Tekken 6 I'd check it to see what was in there because I know that book contains concept art for characters that was done by non-Tekken artists.

[Mr EliteL]

Just checked his Tekken wiki page, and yes he did have a version of that Storm 2 outfit in Tekken 6, here's the link to it. I should've checked when I was doing my post before. Thought I did see it before in Tekken's models, but would've been Tag 2 if not T6 I guess.

[ShiraNoMai]

That's so cool. I wonder how it'd look in the Tekken 8 style.

Tekken 8 | Lidia Gameplay Trailer

[Mr EliteL]

I was watching a bit Combo Breaker last night but it went on way past when I should've been in bed sleeping for work so missed the trailer live, but Lidia is looking good with a respectful Gi on. Some people have noticed she has a lot of armor in moves and stances which may make her broken, but we'll see. Despite that I do have interest in playing her along with Lee and Lili, just playing a number of characters with L's at the start of their name, and will no doubt be taking L's as well. I don't play Lars or Leo and not really Law but they'll cause me to take even more L's. Really need to get back to playing T8.
