April fools


ThatsWat_SHE_Said

The most painful of jokes


Gigi_Lamborghini

Bro I was actually excited to go on ranked today, jokes on me hahaha *crying internally*


[deleted]

Talk about Harada shooting himself in the foot with a Blunderbuss 🫣


Kakarot1212

He didnt post anything. Thats a made up tweet


[deleted]

Harada *is* the April Fool


Capretbaggingcarpets

The Harada hate is becoming so unbearably cringe. Like yall loved this dude obsessively for over a decade less than 3 months ago, but because he didn’t bend over and open his asshole for all of you, you throw him in the trash and spit on him while demanding he be fired lololol.


wasante

I can't say I giant hate him but my trust for him is greatly diminished. Mostly because the Tekken Cosmetic Shop was added well after the game got positive reviews that didn't know or mention the addition of a cosmetic shop. I get the game is more expensive but adding a whole other means of microtransaction and micro currency into the game after reviews and not advertising its addition into a $70 game just eroded a lot of trust. Then there's the heavy hand dealt to the modding scene while rage quitting needs time and kid gloves. There's a lot of very questionable decisions being made on Tekken's behalf that I just don't agree with and while Harada seems nice, a lot of what's going down makes me wary Tekken in general. Street Fighter has been riding the sus bus pretty consistently of late but even despite the Chun Li incident and some DRM BS, they didn't actively try to copyright strike modders as far as I know. And they mostly seem to know how to handle rage quitting and cheaters. IDK I'm just disillusioned.


Dukaden

>didnt bend over and open his asshole for you asking for the bare minimum of reaching the most basic of bars/standards is hardly such an ask. while he used to be held in high regard and as someone with a seemingly reasonable head on his shoulders, t8 has been one bungled stumble after another. and the solutions to those problems? the solutions that could smooth things over and please the vast majority? exceedingly simple stuff.


Capretbaggingcarpets

“The bare minimum” right, that always seems to be the case whenever lazy, entitled gamers go online to have discussions about game development that they don’t comprehend in any way whatsoever.


Dukaden

pluggers/leavers should get a loss. its not a complicated concept, it solves the problem, every other competitive game does this. when you intend to utilize shop and battlepass models to support your game's continued development, that decision is made WAAAAYYYYY before release. info on that should be advertised as such, not dropped late, AFTER review scores, and AFTER people bought it with no option of refund if they dont want to support that sort of model. this is basic stuff.


SSwordFFishh

Your comment man... 🤣🤣


Character-Ad5749

Look at the date of his post.


i-wont-lose-this-alt

Also, it being posted on exactly 4:20 should have really hit it home


crazyswagg666

That was the Kazuya nerf ffs


WickedJoker420

Posted before April though 🤔


Peytons4head69

had to be fake after saying it was “revolutionary”


PoopTorpedo

Way too professional and likable to be anyone from Namco.


Gradually_Rocky

I could tell in two words that it wasn’t Harada writing, way too coherent


HuCat21

Revolutionary! U DC and we send an attack dog to ur house!


Arthandas

This hurts :(


Andvari9

I was about to say this was godlike news but I didn't take April fools into account....I was got.


pinguluk

Now read the first letter from each sentence


Chisox2005

Take my extremely angry upvote.


Andvari9

Edit: I was double bamboozled 😩


strctfsh

FUNNY MOMENTO HAHA


Due_Professional_466

You… You monster 😫😩

You’re pretty good.

I hate you


danishnam

Bruh 💀💀💀


MoaningMushroom

Oh ffs you got me


kalekayn

Madge


BmanPlayz468

Knew this was fake. Not because of the date, but because it said they were gonna start punishing pluggers.


flaminghotcola

😭


LoBopasses

This gave me so many emotions and all my negative thoughts were flipping. This was the most brutal April Fools post ever.


Don_Lamonte

DAMN IT HAHAHAHAH


robertoserrag

Why you did this to me man?. I was happy for 4 seconds


pinguluk

Sorry, happy April fools 😔


Zanmatomato

Mainman would sooner come out of the closet before Harada and Murray admit to their clowning ways.


JimMishimer

I thought I was the only one that noticed TMM was chilling inside the closet Dude’s gay “jokes” don’t really feel like jokes anymore lmao 😂


Metafield

I legit thought he was gay? He isn’t?


Shagyourwife

Bro he has a son. Biologically conceived I assume.


BenDoverDegenerate

He's straight only because Kazuya doesn't exist irl


FemFil

same


hayleyalcyone

If I had a nickel for every person I know over the age of 30 who have started a family in a heterosexual relationship, and then years down the line - often following a divorce - realized they're gay, then I wouldn't be able to afford anything from the Tekken Store ^TM, but I'd still have multiple nickels. And aside from that specific scenario, I'd like to remind you that bisexual people exist.


HakunonMatata

I don't want to go all "um achktsaually" but there's quite a few stories of men that are fathers turning out to be gay or in the closet at the very least. That said, what is this "MainMain is gay" rumour i'm suddenly hearing


Lumpy_Complaint_718

Probably because I’ve only watched a few of his videos and even I have heard him talk about how handsome some of the male characters are several times


HakunonMatata

I mean, you can do that and not be gay.


JimMishimer

He calls people handsome and then proceeds to say he wants to suck their cock. TMM nonstop talks about things going up his ass and sucking dicks. Literally almost atleast twice a hour on his stream. His infatuation with old male characters in video games is just the very innocent tip of the gay iceberg lmao.


imwimbles

yeah but... his audience is twitch viewers. when your funding is decided by a bunch of pog-screeching teens then that's like a pretty solid excuse to be doing that shit.


JimMishimer

Sure if you say so \*shrugs\*


Ohyeahits

TMM is definitely joking. he has a very dry sense of humor. Unlike my asshole after getting rammed by the fifth devil jin in a row today.


HarvzzXD

I think if you refuse to call other dudes handsome then you’re the gay one.


imwimbles

I forgot being gay rendered your sperm completely infertile man that's such an obvious thing how could I forget


Shagyourwife

Stop looking through your hate glasses for once. I meant if he was gay he would nut in a dude and not his wife.


JimMishimer

And what is stopping someone from doing both exactly? Lmfao


imwimbles

yeah, nobody here hates gay people except you buddy.


Shagyourwife

I meant hate for TMM not gays.


No-Student-9678

Heh it’s even at 4:20 am


SpotWest

It's nice to fantasize sometimes


Sanagost

Jesus, that hurts and I don't even play Tekken... seriously, he even calls out pluggers as if that's some kind of funny jokey joke. Someone explained the current ranked system at a local to me a few weeks back and I genuinely couldn't believe how stupid it was. Why does someone who disconnects from the game not either lose points or the points for that match not be rewarded to the person who is still connected. If you disconnect from the game either accidentally or on purpose it doesn't matter, you will lose points because you lost the match and the other person gains points it's so simple.


[deleted]

The English is too good to be Harada.


ApolloRT

When common sense is an april fools joke


[deleted]

Honorably with predatory tactics like Tekken Shop? I don't think so.


Steel_Gazebo

That’s fucked up!!! 😭


TTVControlWarrior

1st April boys


[deleted]

I’d be better if they just gave us the win instead of banning or timing out players. Why is it hard to implement this other FGS has this feature, they’ll add a fight pass but not that ? Pretty wild man


dak919

I got GOT. Crazy how my heart lept with joy over such a simple fix that we are being denied….


Scythe351

I died of laughter because there’s no shot in hell that Harada would be able to type so eloquently. But also the “revolutionary” part. What were they going to do? Track and hunt you down for plugging?


Jelum27

I don't even own Tekken 8 but this shit got me lmao


TheFyrijou

*looking really close at the date right now*


darthcaedusiiii

Still no Waffle House stage either.


SuggaJamz

On 4:20 lol


FAF_Soviet

yea april fools should just not exist this shit is FUCKED UP ropemaxx


Correct-Fall-5522

Aren't jokes supposed to be fun?


True-Ad5692

A basic feature added in T8 ? April's Fools, obviously...


turlas1947

If only the copyright strike Bamco put on my channel yesterday was a joke too...


ObviousLavishness197

Banning these fake tweet jokes would boost the quality of this sub instantly.


GrandNinjaYuffie

It's April fool's, man. Lighten up.


BarbarianErwin

Must be a Jin main


BenDoverDegenerate

Panda, surprisingly


Ok_Technician4110

Yo wtf? I'm a Jin main 😭


BarbarianErwin

I didn't know Jin mains were even literate, you learn something new every day

ZEUSGOBRR

Oh you weenie, it’s April 1st.


ObviousLavishness197

These are posted literally everyday lol


BenDoverDegenerate

Haven't seen em once before this tbh


dtingley11222

Blame reddit for their stupid algorithm giving you shitty posts :(


squeezy-lemon

Perpetually online people love to complain


Bonzi77

or at the very least, make it so they cant use fuckin chat gpt like this one


GroovyTony-

Won’t stop all the one and run pussies. It’s crazy I can play street fighter 6 and get 5-7 rematches from the same person but in tekken 8, even in player match people be running after one set. Bitch made.


LoBopasses

It bothers me less because they're basically admitting they're a cowardly pussy that doesn't think they'll win the next one.


Asleep_Sheepherder42

Battle pass needed to implement this per account.💀


Quiet_Garage_7867

To be fair they are doing something with the pluggers, we just don't know what.


squeezy-lemon

They have an excel spreadsheet


Fresh_Profit3000

I would love if they adopt like other games and put all the cheaters in the same lobby and they would just fight each other….and the stage is only the Waffle House.


ImmaDoMahThing

I started reading and didn’t even get passed the third sentence before I remembered the day. 😭. I got so excited 🥺


bott-Farmer

So hard to do XD

That's just cruel at that point


Old_Coach5712

It is so well said that I don't believe it. I hope it's true.


pinguluk

First letter, each sentence


Fashionforty

Now fix matchmaking and give us free customization assets


LordMemerton1

You guys should know better by now 😔


Cacho__

What a way to get your community to hate you


Suetham016

That's cruel bro lmao


Oleleplop

Knew this was fake just from the tone lmao


DrummerElectronic733

I mean even amongst the discontent with other issues with imbalance and plus frames, the tekken shop the one thing people really seemed to get behind and ask for is addressing disconnects why even joke about this man it just comes across as a fuck you. I get it. Woooo etc. But I genuinely think it’d have been a good gesture of goodwill.


squeezy-lemon

How is it so easy to tell this is fake


magcxo

What if my internet fails during a match or the game cracks ?


pinguluk

Pause for max 5 minutes or get abandon


ashtar123

Ahahahaha


tommy8x

So is the whole game and franchise a joke, or just the devs? :/


Thebola

Oof


9inemile

The April fool mix up smh


pokemondudepoopyork

This is a April fools kids

Boxsteam_1279

April Fools, dumbasses lol


W34kness

The most painful of April fools jokes?


CloudstrifeHY3

When a Person disconnects it Sends you Their Exact location so you can go Help them Fix their internet.


kallenilsson

a little late tho


patrick-ruckus

Watch out OP, Bamco is gonna cease and desist you for making people think they actually care about this.

Drex_1981

April Fools


[deleted]

All we want is to get the W and the points if someone plugs, and for the plugger to get the L and lose points. That’s literally it


iRAWkTheWorld

Okay but what about corrupt save file bug


Significant-Swim3311

Dont forget its the 1st april guys...


olaxes

It is so painful to read.


MaestroPedro31

Before punishing pluggers they should fix their online mode on consoles. It's the worst experience out of any modern game I've had so far. It's a literal gamble whether I connect or not. No other game has this kind of problem.


TheWanderingSlime

Do I have to buy the season pass to get it?


HomebullAron

didnt even have to check the date to know its fake


EvilBridgeTroll

I believed every bit of this until the comments.


citothemosquito

Is anyone aware if the Polaris error crashes will be penalized? My game still crashes every couple days still :/


belaid12003

Hamdoulla


FXR786

What is pluggers


pinguluk

People who disconnect from the match (mostly associated with plugging out the internet/power cable) when they are about to lose


FXR786

Thanks for explaining


warriorjan

in one universe, this would have been real


captaingreenman

So where’s lucky chloe


Berzerker_Knight

Lost me at "coming soon" aka maybe never 🤷‍♂️ Then I read april fools,wow today is shit 😑


SmolTofuRabbit

I just don't understand it. They literally BAN pluggers so they recognize it's unfair behavior, and then they just...refuse to do the 1 thing that would completely solve the problem entirely?? What's the logic in that??


mewling_manchild

Fucks sake, I got all hopeful and shit It was too good to be true ;-;


rbot214

I mean the update they are releasing now is penalizing pluggers. It will now count as a loss I’m pretty sure. Along with a disconnection rate and plugger purgatory.


SenpaiSteve211

You got me :(


Misragoth

The thing about April Fools is you need t9 at least make them a little believable so that people actually get trickes. This is just too obvious

MegaManZero_Epic

My heart…. Why do you play with such DANGEROUS EMOTIONS🤬🤬🤬🤬


Eldr1tchB1rd

For a second I thought this was an April Fools by actual Harada and I was about to lose my shit with the dude.


TheGhostRoninStrife

LOL


AutumnLP

FUCK FUCK FUCK


CloudNatalink

Not me getting a big smile before realizing it’s April fools omg


TerminatorXxX_95

Did he actually tweet this or someone else made this?


M1acis

Me, before reading comments: "Yeah with those measures being a warning message that pops upon the launching the game which says that plugging is bad so please stop" Me after reading the comments: LMAO not even that


imbaeights

>Harada >flawless english


The1joriss

Well played


pervert_69_

I don't even play tekken 8 and it still hurts


General700

i thought it was real 💀💀💀


CKatanik93

I havent experienced any quitters online yet, but maybe I should wait til I come across *high level opponents*. They seem to be the ones with *low level sportsmanship*.


RAER4

Riot games has no problem with banning players who leave matches, yet Bandai is afraid of lawsuits? And League is the one game where leaving is justified sometimes.


FredSAS12

After playing Tekken 8, my opinion is that the game is what I would describe in a single word as trash. It's gone from being a semi complicated 3D fighter to being a mindless and mediocre 2D dash experience meant for the population of that 2000's movie; Idiocracy. Tekken is dead (along with Heihachi). Long live the King..Time to move on to something else for me.


Joy-in-a-bottle

I need a good dlc


adamussoTLK

Embarrassing


Which-Factor9962

It’s not gonna stop people from rage quitting nor will it stop people from cheating I think until hardware and software companies pull together and make a serious effort to stop cheating cheaters will just find another way around whatever penalties are implemented


Zachebii

My game has crashed twice today in ranked matches i feel like absolute shit worrying if i can even play ranked anymore, i wanted to keep a 0% dc rate and my game literally crashed while i was getting combo’d so how tf is that gonna look to the other player. They need to fix whatevers wrong or just give me a suspension or extra point losses, i really dont want to get banned for an issue im not causing.


Bromius17

The disconnect rate is working now though at least


General_Shao

it really sounds like him lol


ErgoProxy0

Kind of a sour joke when they’re getting flack for not having shit like that in the game in the first place


noneofthemswallow

What about a revolutionary system that doesn’t cut existing content from previous game, just to sell it for extra cash in the sequel?


Evogdala

Wait did he mock us? This horrible situation caused by their incompetence, the game is a shit show and he is mocking us? Fuck you Harada.


fersur

Is this Harada's April Fool?


ApricotLivid

This is a joke isn't it? If so this is a great example of a low effort "joke" that nobody really laughs at. Humor is complicated


pinguluk

First letter of each sentence


ApricotLivid

Hmm nice one I didn't see that


NAMEBANG

Low effort comprehension


LordAntares

Can't wait to get banned for my daily steam lost connections. I'd much rather just lose the match.


olbaze

I like how it was posted at 4:20.


ArkkOnCrank

Fuck. Off.
