    Arcade stick

    Anyone here make the switch after playing pad all their life? It looks so cool. And specifically as a Mishima how are electrics and wave dashing?

    When was KBD seen first?

    Hey guys, i was just watching a clip from T7 JDCR(Drag) Vs Knee (Feng) and noticed how much they space with KBD. So I was wondering, when was actually the first time this technique was seen in a competitive match being recorded? I kinda wanna see the reaction to it, if any1 has a clip or YouTube link to it.

    I have a question. For Leo fans. If the Leos were shown not as one character, but as twins in the form of brother and sister. Would you accept them?

    This game needs an option to install only multiplayer

    I know there is the method to delete the cutscenes folder from the story mode but I wish there was a way to just install the multiplayer part of the game, I dont have much storage on my ssd left and having to install/unnistall Tekken once in a while because it takes so much space like it's a call of duty game is pretty annoying.

    I know I could upgrade my ssd and get more storage, but I think it's an unecessary investment from me when the developers could do this. Idk, anyone else wishes this was a thing?

    Brainstorming possible main options in Tekken 8

    Hey everyone!

    Since I've been in a Tekken char crisis for multiple years by now, I was thinking about the things I'm looking for in a main. This makes me want to ask a question to yall : Which chars come to your mind when I give you these criterias ? Multiple answers are possible, it's just for a brainstorming. My main in Soulcalibur is Cervantes if it's any help.

    - Can dictate neutral through range or good approach options

    - Good whiff punish capabilities

    - Expressive

    - Extensive move list

    - Poking oriented

    - Having entries in multiple Tekken games is a plus
    - As is having a complete (and damaging) throw game

    Thx in advance for your contributions !

    What's Jin's gameplan ?

    I want to play Jin but can't figure out how to play him. What would you want from Jin to do?

    For example: Coming from Reina where you want to constantly annoy your opponent and applying presure via ff2, HW and plus frame moves. Also provoke whiffs with your movement and unsoku stance.

    Who is your favorite op?

    Who is your favorite opponent to fight against online. Is there a difference of preference between Ranked and Quick matches? Is it because you know you'll win or b/c it'll be a good match, maybe some other reason?

    Best characters to lose to, based off victory animation.

    Which characters do you feel better losing to based purely off their victory animation?

    Lidia inviting you to dinner or Lars calling a medic makes them pretty chill. Meanwhile getting pummelled post fight by Bryan, bowing to Reina's throne or getting slammed to the ground by Heihachi all rub salt in the wound.

    Should I play Dragunov?

    I'm recently getting back into Tekken 8 and I realized that I don't have a main. I was trying out different characters this past week and I really liked Dragunov's playstyle and animations, but I also don't wanna be a tier whore or hinder my experience when he inevitably gets nerfed and have a hard time playing a worse character because I bullshitted my way into my rank. I hear everyone say "play who you like" but then they go and say "you suck if you play a top tier," so that makes my decision harder. Hell, I don't even know if Dragunov still overpowered or just a strong character? I'm definitely overthinking this, but what do y'all think?

    Looking for zafina games?

    After being bodied by every single zafina i run into in ranked I decided to finally lab her a little bit. While I think I understand her a little bit better it would be nice to have someone who mains her, or just plays her to run some games with. Would mean a lot to me
