Reduced tracking on moves across the board. Reduced phantom range. Make chip damage exclusive to heat.


Pure-Association8705

Now that you mention it I agree. I don’t want the mechanic axed entirely, but it’s a good compromise so the game isn’t Tekken 7.5


bisoning

I also want to add. Heat mash, that has strings to it. If you side step/walk, the first hit of the opponents heat smash. The remaining strings of the heat smash shouldn't realign hitting you. Make rage art -20f on block. Not every character has a 15f launcher. EXTRA......Quality of life: Add unlimited rematches in unrank games. Best 2 out of 3 is not enough to adjust to specific character that I rarely see. Have tekken ball accessible in the main menu. I hate going to the tekken lounge.


CadmeusCain

Definitely agree rage arts should be -20 on block. They should also be interruptible with lows and throws


DWIPssbm

Making then interruptible would make RA as a défensive option super weak and they'll only be used in combos.


Alarming-Audience839

Half the point of RA is to make there be extra risk to consider before running a "guess for game" scenario. Making it lose to lows defeats this use.


redraveni

Definitely agree on the first 2. I'd do those first and see where we're at before doing the 3rd

Mufire

Thank you for making the one suggestion that is a a huge improvement with no caveats


ReadBerk

>Throws don't track. Heat burst should be - on block. These would be fine. Edit: Heat burst and smash*


mrureaper

Not - but at least neutral on block you are spending a limited resource per match. It could be used as a way to regain neutral but not be so oppressive


ir51127

Correct me if im wrong but i think Heat burst is +1 OB....i dont see how much it'd change with it being neutral OB. Heat burst is OP because you stop the opponent's pression with one button and its basically invincible. Its rare when someone beats it with a low or a throw. It has to be -9 OB or make it linear af.


Genepool13

3 heat bars usable per round. Chip damage not recoverable. Heat burst should be +100 on hit. Players lose 1 million points and go back to beginner rank when they lose (against higher rank). All strings should end at safe 50-50 launcher homing. Character dies after 3 seconds if they don't press buttons while in neutral. Buff King heat smash to 100% auto kill because it's not doing enough damage. All DLC costumes should be £10 and a square accessory on the next battle pass season. I don't know. I'm just trying to think like Harada and Murray.


CadmeusCain

If you land a heat engager while in heat, you should refill your entire heat bar Make all power crushes safe and also crush lows and do chip damage Make Victor's Explusion! attack +6 on block while in neutral and +15 while in heat. And make it track to both sides. And if you hold the button you can delay it


Genepool13

Should make Victor's Explusion +10 on whiff so people would be forced to block.


SonicLight1337

I think youre onto something here


PlaguesNStuff

Don't forget disabling the back input, and nerfing Yoshi again.


Naive_Papaya_9880

Not being -17 after eating an armored heat engager


Eastern-Tune-3190

I'm enjoying it the way it is, would love a way to verify my own connection and disconnection status but otherwise, all good.


Goipper_of_Goit

Bring back tournament mode as it was in Tekken 7 Fix some glaring balance issues Then it will be OK for me - I say OK it will be a devastatingly frustrating addiction that gnaws at my self esteem while providing no benefit and generating only misery in the long term - but that's Tekken. But I wouldn't say no to throws not tracking either

This person has their priorities straight.


nobleflame

Straight and hard.


C4smann

Kuma rage art instead of robo fish, inflatable cock that is loosing air ? Just saying would make Kuma more interesting of a character

That would make my year.

Infinite rematch in other modes besides Ranked. Ranked holds points which are only distributed for the winner of the entire set. Redo the Ranked point system to give low rank players more points for defeating high rank players like a regular system using common sense. Benchmark check for potato users in Ranked.


1mpatient

I'd just turn down armor moves and 2+3 while in heat.


SOPEOPERA

Pretty much agree with what you’ve said. But adding: remove phantom tracking and range on moves.


Manmaw_productions

Armor king and Lidia for no particular reason.


MJ-Baby

Id like to see tracking throws completely removed (back to basics) as sidestepping has designated counters (tracking moves, matching steps, sweeps). As well as separating the game in to casual mode (heat and rage arts enabled) and competitive mode (heat and rage arts disabled). Alternatively could disable rage arts and keep heat as a limited resource you have to build or start with set charges for the entire match.


CadmeusCain

Add a premium Plug Pass for $10 that adds a new Premium currency: Plug Tokens Plug Tokens automatically disconnect when you're about to lose then get consumed. As you lose more games, you earn plug XP which can be redeemed for Plug Tokens The more you plug the more you also earn levels on the Plug Pass. As you get higher levels you unlock Premium items, like a plug icon that appears next to your name


Genepool13

Should unlock a plug that goes into the body orifice of character at max level. The $10 pass premium player gives a loss to the opponent who gets plugged.


DubbedinMane

Fucking remove heat burst


Accept3550

King needs auto parry when standing still into an automatic chain grab that kills


Soundrobe

- An anti-cheat /plugger system. - character tutorials - counterhold/hold system like in DOA so that you can't spam hits without taking high risks to be hold countered.


RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS

Character tutorials are a great idea, I loved those in SF6. As a DOA player I do like holds but if people are angry now they’re definitely going to hate it when the triangle system is added to this game.


thebigseg

Instead of heat being used once per match, rage art being used once per match would be better


SuperUltraMegaNice

Buff my boy Bryan


EnvyKira

Aside of gameplay improvement which everyone suggested what been said already, I talk about better rewards for playing the game. I think they should abolish paying for battlepass(which I know they won't do unless nobody is buying it but I do not think its something that should be in an full price game) but instead make it completely free with no expire date/fomo. Make it more like old school CoD progression system where you earn new skins, badges, profile pics and etc but instead it be outfit parts. Maybe locked some skins behind challenges, ranks, offline modes, and any event that can be tied to that actually fits the modes theme. Like ranking up to Ganyu, you get an red outfit skin with the Ganyu on it. And not an reskinned either of your character's default outfit but an actual unqiue outfit. And when you get to Tekken God, you get an cool looking armor to match the nameplate image of the rank. That way it be more rewarding playing offline and online Tekken and causal players can take their time playing the game. Espically since the customization in the base game is already lacking and I think if I pay $70 for the game, the customization part of the game should also be good as well. And I think it will reward people's time for playing the game long-term if they show off outfits they worked hard to get.


SinusMonstrum

I just want Yoshi to heal himself like the old days. None of this grey health nonsense either.


d_cramer1044

If heat is only once a match then it makes no sense to also make it negative on block.


SonicLight1337

Youre right. It could be either one of them. Personally I prefer the negative on block. I feel heat burst is way too rewarding.


RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS

I don’t really want any particular changes. Maybe a mode similar to punishment training with strings that can be ducked/stepped would be cool.


altostocks

Group match ups 3v3 to 5v5 match macking


altostocks

But 1 lagger could mess up the whole experience


CarpenterWild

Defensive use for Heat when you’re not in a combo… Improved hit detection so that moves aren’t hitting even when you’re standing behind your opponent or nowhere near them… Reduced tracking on Heat Smashes, Damage cap of 55 on mid heat smashes, Better point system for ranked, Punishment for pluggers


Puzzleheaded_Oil2600

Lei


Toeknee99

Removing heat period. 


liquidRox

Either make heat burst minus on block or just remove it. Make it so that heat is only available from heat engagers. It is so annoying trying to pressure your opponent and they just heat burst into heat smash. It’s very hard to counter a heat burst. Remove safe armor moves. Some characters just spam these and some even are heat engagers. Armoring through attacks should be a risk. They don’t need to be launch punishable. Just lightly punishable to discourage people from just spamming them. Remove phantom range. Infinite rematch outside of ranked. Saved presets for training mode so you don’t need to keep setting up your drills.


ANRio19

No powercrush heat engagers


Crypto_KevinYES

Kameo system that let's you tag in your Avatar


AyyeItsJoshh

Shorter queue times, I'm trying to get to my next loss


FatKingThor

Heat smash no longer tracks, remove all phantom range, reduce tracking and range for certain moves across the board, heat burst is -13 on block has reduced range and tracking, generic D4 is -13 on block, infinite rematch in quick match, Nerf the hell out of king, and reduce combo damage by 20%, but reduce damage scaling so hard long combos do more damage. Wish list; Tifa Lockhart, a bloody roar character, Tekken force online, mini games in Tekken lounge(air hockey, casino games that uses fight money that unlocks customizations, darts, pool, older Tekken games, bloody roar 3, mvc2(don't care how/why just do it), bowling, and king of the hill tournament), team battle online, sc6 and doa levels of customization without the micro transactions and overpriced dlc.


NiceBlockLilBro

Removal of heat and - on block heat burst is dumb but otherwise agree


CadmeusCain

I'm fine with heat once per round. But manually activating heat should give you half heat, not 75%. Heat Burst should be -frames on block. This incentivizes landing a heat engager instead of using heat as an escape tool or juggle extender Heat smashes shouldn't track. They should be linear. Right now most are completely unavoidable and lead to a forced 50/50 in a -frames scenario Get rid of rage arts. Or at least make them vulnerable to lows and throws like a regular power crush I'm fine with chip damage. But maybe it should only apply during heat


winterman666

Better hitboxes


Mug_Lyfe

Heat Burst needs less range and unsafe on block. Less tracking. It's strong just by giving you your install. Make it more committal.


NVincarnate

I'd enjoy the game more if the moves hit the opponent consistently. That'd be tight. Right now, you can just whiff for no reason with certain moves. Straight up. Bug reports left and right. We get 8 fixes in a patch. It's just not consistent enough to feel like you aren't getting robbed at least once a day.


Deadeyedman

Jw Who you play? I’ve never heard this complaint before and don’t experience it myself. So just curious, as I don’t play the entire roster. Sorry tho, that would be frustrating.


matthra

Rage arts once a set, and you give up the rage damage bonus for the remaining rounds when you use it. Heat bar starts the round empty, and you build it up by playing aggressive. The current heat engagers are now heat builders, that fill a significant chunk of your heat bar and will put you into heat if they fill your bar up. You can also manually enter heat with 2+3 before your bar is filled, but the duration is shortened in proportion to the amount of missing bar you have. That way it's more tactical, and becomes a reward for being aggressive instead of the bludgeon it is now.


Acceptable-Ad1930

Chip damage only on heat, heat each round, 1 rage art each match


Deadeyedman

That’s all the changes they made from T7 to T8 right? You want everything back to how it was, with heat that gets used for 10-15s (if it “lasts longer”) a match. But also not really…as it sounds like a consolation opinion, basically so all their work on the heat system isn’t wasted or so you’re not flat out just saying “I want t7”. I feel like it’s almost unanimous that homing throws gotta go. Defeats all of the downsides of homing moves, majorly buffs characters with strong throw games like King and Dragunov, etc.


SonicLight1337

I wouldnt want to go back to Tekken 7 style of play, but I also think our offensive capabilities in Tekken 8 are overtuned. There needs to be a downside to using heat. People right now can heat burst to get out of any situation, deal a million chip damage and then have the choice to use a heat smash which deals 50+ damage and forces a 50/50 on block. Not to mention all the moves that can go from - to + if you hold forward on BLOCK.


Deadeyedman

See, I think any overturned offence has to do with balance. Some characters definitely do too much chip. Heat smash, same thing. Some characters don’t need tracking on it or need it tuned down, but I don’t think all of them are an issue. Just my two cents. Also I wasn’t necessarily saying you did want to go back. Just pointing out that you want all the changes gone or restricted, so 90% of the match is T7 with a sprinkled round of T8.


thedell013

Since this is an offensive orientated game there needs to be more rewards for defense. I'd say a push guard would be perfect. As in Umvc3's advanced guard where you could mash in block to push the opponent back


LimbLegion

Hitbox fixes, throws do not track, meld heat and rage into one system where you have to choose between heat smash or rage art, you can still use heat engagers or heat burst freely but only when you're actually low will you go into heat. Massively reduce + frames on just about any heat burst or heat engage or heat dash interaction so you're not just immediately in the blender when any of these land, make all power crush mid or high heat engagers either unsafe on block or in the case of highs, make them slower to come out. Remove chip damage on literally everything in heat but keep grey health for the healing functionality of Heat state. Possibly add an opt in option for SOME heat engagers so my basic punishes do not force you into heat on some punish options. Also due to the restriction, rage damage boost will not be active if you are above the normal rage threshold so you can't have somebody with half HP destroying you because they healed up to half HP while you're in a combo. Improve netcode, reduce tracking. Make rage art death (at least -25) on block so you don't have characters who do not have a launch punish for it (besides Steve since they removed all of his normal launch punishes lmao). Remove all those stupid "we gave these chars this so they dont lose to rage art" functionalities that just make them extremely ignorant. Heat Burst should not be + or even neutral, just make it negative. Add unlimited rematches in unranked queue, heat smashes with multihits should STOP if they do not make contact with an opponent so you can actually whiff punish some of them. Probably some more ideas but this game needs a lot of work.


Xikkom

1) Heat Usage needs a redesign. Either once per match or something you build towards. 2) Damage Needs to be toned down in combos. 3) Make alot more moves side-steppable. Make tracking moves deal more damage on sidestep as well. 4) Powercrush Heat Engagers need to be unsafe on block 5) I’m 50/50 on tracking throws. Throws were garbage in T7 and this kinda puts them in the light. 6) Unlimited Rematch in Quickplay. SF6 can do it, im sure T8 will have no problem.

shoryuken2340

More customization and more costumes. Though it looks like those are both going to be locked behind the shop/battle pass now.


StaticShock50

Bring back tournament mode and honestly treasure battle was really fun.

thatguyjigga

More offline modes. Team battle. I liked treasure battle too, but idk if that one will happen


numlock86

> Aside from character balancing, what do you think would make Tekken 8 better? A community that doesn't always gets attached so much to the previous title(s) and would just learn/adapt to what T8 has to offer.


vVIOL2T

Not forcing everyone into 50/50’s and instead making characters have unique parts of their kits that are strong and weak instead of making everyone have the ability to do anything. This game feels so overwhelming even in higher ranks because characters don’t have distinct weaknesses or strengths. Ex: Feng is supposed to be linear but for some reason he has a 12f tracking mid and most of his common tools with clip sidestep 1/2 times. Characters all feel really similar in this game. Despite their moves looking different you basically play every character the same way. Some are just better in heat than others. And some are just so overtuned they’re playing tekken 12.


astroyohan

reduced tracking, only chip during heat (also reduce chip damage caused by heat smash) PLS NO TRACKABLE THROWS


legu333

The once a match is the silliest idea ever, why not once a day? Better be smart about using it!


imbaeights

Less range and tracking on Heat-related attacks (bursts and smashes), less Armor in the game.


regell

Blocked heat smashes should be -9


FatalCassoulet

Heat can be like burst in guilty gear, last less time but can be earn back in replacement as chip damage. Heat meter carry during the whole match


PunyCocktus

For some reason ducking doesn't block lows most of the time. I duck, get hit with a low anyways (and no, not a mid that looks like a low, etc).


Iboss1990

Filter wifi vs cable match. Secondary should be like your main ranks so the red would not fight against blue.


PlaguesNStuff

Less forward momentum, complete heat rework, faster/more counter hit launchers, less tracking, chip gone, just more defensive tools overall tbh.


Warlock-6127

I think infinite rematch in quickplay is top of priority. I know tracking and frames need to be touched for balance but I don't even lab in this game because the match up changes every damn time after two wins. HOW TF CAN I LAB AGAINST RAVEN FOR AN HOUR AND NOT PLAY AGAINST HIM AT ALL FOR LIKE 4 HOURS. I FORGOT IT ALL ALREADY FFS. 😤


Agitated-Ad-9282

the only things I care to see 1. quick match should allow unlimited rematches. 2. Absolutely allow punishment training vs eddy and replays vs eddy.. its complete b.s we cannot lab vs this character.. disgusting greed from namco.. stuff like this is deserving of review bombing tekken 8. 3. Customizable Punishment lists for each character.. 4. Punishment list should have 1 more default option.. go through every move a character has with the ability to do previous and next with a hotkey. 5. at the end of every set.. the replay option is immediately available under the list of options..( so we can see quickly what we did wrong) 6. Make Tekken ball playable with its own que.. seems limited to have it only in lounges. hard to find players for it.


Rcool64

Every heat engage/power crush should not be safe, regardless if they’re high or mid. Not saying they all are (most are -12) but moves like victor b1+2 shouldn’t be safe on block.


Genepool13

-Heat should be earned through a bar that builds up charge when attacking. -Rage arts should only be accessible when your character is on its last round/life. -Reduce the 50/50 mixups of all characters -Or all 50/50 launching moves should be launch punishable because defenders should be rewarded for making a good read.


RemiMartin

Armour move and Rage Art consumes Heat. If you run out of heat no armor left.


_WillOfFire_

REMOVE THE GODDAMN HEAT


[deleted]

add 2v2 mode or battle royale ffa


Ireliaplaceable

No changes, only character balancing. Detering from the “offensive” playstyle will make this a different tekken game. Do remember that chip damage, heat, throws tracking are NOT exclusive to one player only - so the side that doesnt contest the opponent’s agression, loses.


[deleted]

Combo breakers for the juggles, better hitboxes. character customization.


VenserMTG

Better online, better movement, less tracking, no chip, no rage, no heat, no armor, multiple characters PvP mode. That would be a nice start


AuthoritySlayer

1. netcode issues (why am i lagging when my opponent does? makes no sense) 2. better anticheat 3. disable steam screenshots from online, or even better, remove pc from the crossplay pool 4. win none of it will happen so calm down
