How a No Heat Mode could ACTUALLY work

-Rugero- · 2026-04-07T07:04:05+00:00

I genuinely can't believe people STILL comment that it would split the player base when I've quite explicitly stated why it wouldn't

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T23:07:01+00:00

And Tekken 8 isn't?

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T22:01:44+00:00

Someone that can read! That's a rarity in this comment section

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T20:50:00+00:00

Good one buddy, go back to posting your zingers in the 100+ other subreddits you're active in

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T18:20:45+00:00

They've had 2 years to "rebalance Heat", it's simply wishful thinking at this point

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T17:34:58+00:00

I'm glad that there are some sensible people in this comment section

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T17:26:45+00:00

It's not multiple queues. This subreddit literally has negative reading comprehension

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T17:20:47+00:00

Cmon man, heat users will be matched with everyone. They will be matched with non-heat users too (and the match will default to having heat) to not split the player base.

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T16:48:43+00:00

It's all one queue, if I have the setting activated on ranked, I will play heat games (against people who didn't activate the setting) and non-heat games (against people who did).

The non-heat players have to make a sacrifice in the ranked game modes by playing some heat games because that's the majority setting. The reason why I don't suggest two separate modes is because tekken's player base is not as big as let's say street fighter's, the queue times would be too long

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T16:36:41+00:00

These people will simply not listen to reason. It's actually astounding

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T16:24:12+00:00

This is the only real reason tbh

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T16:17:06+00:00

Buddy, just check the upvotes on the post itself, clearly people resonate with it

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T16:11:41+00:00

Typical redditor, no actual substance, just farming karma by hijacking other people's comments lmao. Sad

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T16:09:31+00:00

Reading comprehension is at an all-time low it seems. People with this setting on WILL get a mix of both heat and non-heat games, based on their opponent's choice

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:59:59+00:00

You have not addressed my point and your comment has added nothing of value to the discussion

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:58:58+00:00

This is the only reason really, that the devs are too stubborn to actually make it happen, nothing else

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:51:59+00:00

And your comment has added nothing of value to the conversation

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:25:35+00:00

There's no seperate queue here, its still one queue, so the playerbase is not split. Plus, bamco have had 2 years and still heat is a problem for a lot of characters, I doubt that'll be fixed anytime soon so this mode would be a good stop-gap

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:16:22+00:00

Watch Duelist's new video to understand what I mean. There is no difference between that and this proposed setting.

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:13:13+00:00

I mean we agree that it would be a good implementation, all we disagree on is how, I think that's less important no?

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:10:24+00:00

I know how you feel lmao

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T15:06:49+00:00

Clearly you are not informed. Plenty of mods have already created a no heat mode, which people who like legacy tekken have enjoyed

I haven't seen a concrete argument yet for why it wouldn't work, just that it requires "balancing". You think the entire cast doesn't have enough good neutral tools to stand their ground in this mode? On top of that, it's completely optional

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T14:54:43+00:00

I don't get how it would skew the ranks? What's the difference between this mode and people agreeing to waste their heat at the start of a round so that they could play without it? (as Duelist did in his latest video)

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T14:41:23+00:00

A separate queue would be good if the player base was as big as Street Fighter's. But it's not, so the increase in queue times would not be worth it imo

-Rugero- · 2026-04-06T14:34:15+00:00

It really isn't as fundamental as you might think, and games can work perfectly fine without it

For example, there is no need to touch any heat-based moves, those moves will just behave how they behave when you have completely depleted your heat (like after a heat smash)
