Tekken 8 could go head to head against SF6 at this point and win. This trailer changed everything, normies are reacting to it en masse and saying it'll be the first Tekken they'll be playing since 3. Namco has given Tekken a generous budget again after it showed that it can still be relevant with 7 and they're going all out with a blockbuster, looking to embarrass the competition. SF6 looks too much like another SF3 situation where it will flop initially. Who would've guessed that SFV's release would cause such massive ripples over 6 years after its release.
I'm sorry SF bros, I know you aren't used to this situation especially after SFIV dominated the scene like it did. I know you're used to being on top, being the main event and EVO and looking down on other fighting games but all things come to end. People are afraid of change but the single greatest constant of history is that everything changes.
Tekken died after 5. Now it's just Harada's anime DBZ simulator.

>normies are reacting to it en masse and saying it'll be the first Tekken they'll be playing since 3 Doubt That trailer showed next to nothing and would be meaningless to anyone that didn't already have an interest in Tekken
Nathan Morris
>That trailer showed next to nothing It showed the same DBZ rivalry we've been force fed since 1998. It's old now.

Yeah street fighter 6 has a dumb nigger shithop aesthetic unfortunately. That was the worst thing about 3rd strike.
Brandon Brooks
It's literally tekken 7, 0 sidestepping and corkscrew thanks Murray I hate it
It was a genius move by Namco to not show the trailer at evo and save it for a more general showcase. People who watch evo are at least a tiny bit interested in fighting games. This trailer reached normies far and wide, some even are saying that they didn't know the series was still going on.

cope >For example, if we don't break it enough, then people will be like, "Okay, it's not a brand new game, it's Tekken, a new season or a 7.5 or something." If we break it too much, then you might take away some of the elements that people enjoyed from the franchise. So it doesn't matter how much experience you have, that's always a very difficult task and no one has the answer to it. Which might sound strange because many people think the players have the answer, but they don't. They just react to whether they like or don't like something so they don't have the answer. If they did, it would be very easy to just go ask everyone what they want and to make it.
>That said, it is very important to gather feedback as much as possible from a variety of different groups, but what you do with that feedback is actually more important. So it's very difficult.

You're talking gameplay or story? Tag 2 was the logical conclusion to the core tekken gameplay but it got so complicated that they had to tone it down with 7. The story of 5 with zombie Jinpachi was wacky as fuck. If anything, they've gotten more serious since 7.

looks like SF wanted the fortnite audience
Landon Adams
>SF6 looks too much like another SF3 situation where it will flop initially You're retarded. Anyway, just like it's always been, Tekken and SF aren't competing with each other. Casuals won't stick with either game.
Gavin Parker
>You're retarded. That was not an uneducated guess, everything points to that. They had the chance to ride the incredible momentum of SFIV but screwed it up and now they're starting over. I guess it will not outright flop but it will do mediocre numbers.
Ian Walker
its really sad but i might move to tekken if lydia is in
Grayson Myers
this is waaaay worse than 3rd strike. Ken doesnt seem pozzed in anyway. hopfully he will do it for me if not, probably gonna play tekken
Evan Flores
>game pretty so its good
You monkeys never disappoint.
Aiden Price
>Tekken and SF aren't competing with each other this is the most briandead thing ive read all day and thats really saying something
Nolan Powell
idk lots of normie shit in there i think it will do better than v launch after that idk
Nathaniel Thompson
>SF will attract more dark skinned people then tekken now
timeline shifted again
Jack Phillips
>Tekken and SF aren't competing with each other. It sure as hell looked like that when SF was clearly at the top and SF fanboys were punching down at Tekken. Since the T8 trailer been out they suddenly don't want any heat.
