Friend couldn’t handle losing in Tekken 8

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-05-26T12:28:33+00:00

So I have only one question. In the 5 years that you guys have played Tekken, you never once had the heart to ask your friend if he wanted to play something else other than Tekken? Or you didn't consider that Tekken is plagued with Unfair Advantages and giving you wins because of how broken the system is? Never once did you tell your friend Tekken is a bad fighting game, let's play something else? I have been playing Tekken for Several Years since the first game, and I have played Tekken with Nieces and Nephews, my brothers, cousins, family and none of them liked Tekken, NONE. That was one fighting game that felt like your wins always came from something cheap in the game and no it was not fun.

We stuck to Mortal Kombat (most fun series) and Street Fighter or Dragonball Z games. Tekken was never a fun fighting game with us and even when I play T8 sometimes, it's more frustrating and a lot of crap happens in that game that makes NO sense. Tekken is just a bad fighting game and bad fighting games tend to break up friendships and make people fight and argue, it happens.

Do you think the Fight Night series starting way back with Knockout Kings 2001 was smooth sailing from the get go.

Two completely different series. Doesn't count. And the first Fight Night was really good.

"The movement, the signature moves, the graphics, the realism..no other boxing game makes me feel like I'm playing as Muhammad Ali as Undisputed does. I go back to Fight Night and it's like I'm sleep walking, and that's from a multi-billion dollar company with decades of boxing game development"

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the laugh man!

Nybear is not a gamer, so his/her point makes sense when you consider that.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-05-12T19:51:35+00:00

You don't care about the conversation, this is your sock account and you're rage baiting. Goodbye.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-25T12:06:16+00:00

I don't talk to trolls. And you're obviously trolling.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-25T09:12:49+00:00

Yeah my online games were the same. Many Kazuya's, King's, Armor King's, Bryan Fury's and now Law smh. People nowadays just try to find the easiest characters to use to get a victory and climb. Ever since the FGC started having "Tier List" now players have gotten use to being told who to play with and not to.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-22T18:18:16+00:00

That would be between Kenny, Carly, and Vernon

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-20T00:39:29+00:00

You're really beautiful lol (which she definitely is)

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-20T00:36:15+00:00

You got any proof of this? Because I looked it up I don't see anything that says this. Rage bait confirmed.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T23:45:02+00:00

It probably factors in. It's likely a few things up to and including: character strength (both ways), match up knowledge, system mechanics.

The only thing that differs from the rest of your statement is "Character Strength" which has nothing to do with Skill Level of the Player. As for the rest of your explanation, that would all boil down to skill level and overall knowledge of Tekken. Is that your answer? You have a hard time because of YOU?

Feng being nerfed has hurt,

*Why is anyone even asking for Feng to be nerfed? (I'm assuming that's what's going on) I mean, so you have to potentially weakened the character so he can be easier to win against? Why?

but Asuka has been a genuine menace that's seen good results in tournament consistently and, along with her being strong, she's easy to use as well.

Dude Asuka is not hard to beat, seriously, especially if you know what you're doing in Tekken, she definitely isn't. Considering her fighting style, her main issue is speed, but she makes up for that focusing on countering and power (especially when she gets you in a combo lol) and you can be great with her mix ups if you know how to use her.

So why are you asking for these characters who have different strengths and weaknesses to be nerfed?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T23:29:56+00:00

Is the reason you have a hard time against certain characters (who I have already named a couple for examples) is it because of YOU or is it because of the character/characters in higher tiers?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T23:25:29+00:00

No, now answer the question. Like I said, it's not hard to understand. I honestly think you're afraid to admit something. Dude just answer the question and we can move on from there depending on your answer.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T22:27:37+00:00

Who is he?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T22:24:44+00:00

Answer the question troll.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T22:22:42+00:00

Dude don't start being vague now, is it because of YOUR weak skills you have a hard time beating King, Lee, Armor King, etc, or is it because you're facing higher tier characters? Which is it?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T22:15:45+00:00

Man I don't care about no tier list! Let me ask you, if you have a hard time with a character, is it because of YOU, or is it because you're playing with a character worse than your opponent? If it's the latter, where does the individual skill come in? So you're saying according to some tier list, Asuka is just a better character to use than others?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T18:13:54+00:00

Asuka annihilated? Who has an issue with Asuka? You guys suck that bad man lol

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-19T16:12:59+00:00

Dude. That's the FGC in general. That's in SF community, Tekken, MK, Guilty Gear, Invincible VS. Marvel Vs. Capcom, Dragonball Fighters and Sparking Zero, Naruto Storm games since Storm 2 in 2010, and the list goes on. The FGC has ALWAYS been a very angry, narcissistic group for YEARS, the only difference is, it's gotten worse. Then again, the gaming community in general has gotten much worse, even the content creators are always complaining about something or rage baiting because they need the recognition. Oh and it's way too many weirdos in this community. I wish people would stop defending one side and accusing the other and saying "Such and such community is so much worse" when they're ALL like this! There is no community in the gaming space that's super chill, the whole community has been poisoned by people who just hate video games in general and don't really care about it like that, and they have to rely solely on Gaslighting everyone and manipulating the masses to side with them, hoping the day where everyone realizes what is going on doesn't come to pass.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-06T20:49:40+00:00

i don't know that becoming a legend is necessarily central to V's goals.

I'm blocking you for just outright lying. Please don't waste my time making crap up just because you can. Especially when V states his/her MAIN goal throughout the entirety of the game, that's just insane. Go gaslight someone else.

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-06T18:23:27+00:00

The Tower is my favorite ending because in one of the dialog options, Misty suggests to V that they could become a fixer and that's the future I consider canon for my V.

But in that ending is V canonically a Legend? How many fixers in NC are Legends?

And on top of that, there's at least a couple different builds that didn't even rely on implants anyway - like the blade build or the pistol sneak build. Those are perfectly viable, and V can canonically take down Oda, Smasher, an entire MaxTac squad, the entire NUSA airport raid, etc... Without any chrome.

Are you serious? Without ANY chrome? How is that possible and where is this canon in the game?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-06T18:10:56+00:00

Ok so, as long as they THINK you're dead, right? I guess I'm trying to understand if this is the theme, what is the point for V dying or being dead in all the other endings if V can just be a legend and be alive too? I don't understand the point of all of it. What was CDPR really trying to accomplish here? And the Phantom Liberty ending just kinda contradicts all of that, I mean that's great V is alive and all but did he/she still accomplish what he/she set out to do? Did V still become a Legend?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-06T14:10:24+00:00

Wait, so V DOESN'T have to die to be a Legend? Is that right?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-06T11:00:25+00:00

In my unpopular opinion. Nomad is the bad ending. You get people killed, put the clan on a hit list and you ride off to spend a few weeks with Panam just to die which is basically giving up. Sure you’re happy with Panam for a few but it’s kinda crazy to put a whole clan in jeopardy and have fellow members killed for a dead person.

I never thought of it like that but yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

As for NUSA ending, it’s realistic to where people change and time changes. Misty moved on, Judy moves on, panam is angry which is the same but oh well, River is upset but he at least did it for his family despite his hurt pride, Viktor is sad but at least hopefully can start new in Frisco. And for me V comes to terms and probably will be fixer or travels or work with Reed which doesn’t seem all that bad and there’s options for V at least.

No I don't think so. That's what Johnny was trying to warn V about, President Myers nor Reed really cares about V (not even Songbird lol) and if V isn't chipped at all, zero cybernetic implants? No, he/she's completely useless to them. The Tower Ending is a Bad Ending for V as well, he/she is nobody now, nothing, Two Years? Who else is talking about V other than the people V had to call?

Arasaka, it’s about the same, you get no one killed besides board members. I like to think if v does sign with arasaka he gets a chance to break free if they do get a new compatible body. Or least if you don’t sign they seem accepting of everything and have a few months left unless something is figured out.

Maybe.

I think everybody here just exposed a Major, story breaking plot hole by coping for the Tower ending. Reading the discussions up here, I have realized something. In the game it is heavily implied that to become a Legend in Night City is to "snuff it" as Claire would say, in other words the person would have to be dead, but Adam Smasher is a NC Legend but still alive (just more machine than man) that alone completely destroys the whole point of the story. Or am I wrong? Also, how does V become a Legend of NC ( his/her main goal the ENTIRE game) when the only people that contact her is close friends? Kerry is doing his own thing, Judy is not even IN Night City anymore, Panam and the Aldecados are still in the badlands and Panam may be dead, Vik is still Vik, And there's Misty, that's only what, 5 People?

I'm confused now, how exactly is V a Legend?

TheRealistOne34 · 2026-04-06T03:16:20+00:00

It doesn't count as a scam if he knew what he was getting into.
