why i HATE Tekken 8

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

I've been playing Tekken 8 quite a lot

recently, and I swear to Jesus, this has

been the most annoying and frustrating

game I've ever played. I've never been so

angry and mad at a game that I actually

rage uninstalled the game and just got fed

up with it. I ended up reinstalling it

today now that I've calmed down a little

bit, but I think my anger and frustration

with the game still kind of remains. So I

really wanted a new fighting game. I used

to play quite a lot of Mortal Kombat 11

And I wanted a new one that wasn't Mortal

Kombat, so I decided to go for the new

Tekken game. And I have never felt so

frustrated playing a fighting game. I

swear, in Mortal Kombat 11, I never had

this problem where I was just constantly

juggled and I could go through a whole

round without even being able to move my

character because my opponent is so damn

good at juggling and combos that I can't

even move. All I can do is just stand

there or sit here and wait until my

character finally stops bouncing off the

damn ground like a rubber ball. So the

whole game revolves around who can do the

first uppercut or launching attack first,

because the person who does the first

launching attack basically wins, because

they'll do a launching attack and then

they'll chain a bunch of combos, and you

can't even move. You'll just bounce up and

down on the ground being repeatedly

slammed into the ground, and then they'll

do like another uppercut as soon as you

get back up again. And for some reason

Okay, so my favorite character is Lily. I

only play as Lily, and no, it doesn't have

anything to do with the fact that she kind

of looks like my ex-girlfriend when I do

this customized look with this hairstyle.

I like Lily because number one, that she's

hot. She's probably the hottest female

character in the game, and if I'm going to

be spending loads of time dedicated to

learning how to practice playing with a

character, I want to be staring at a hot

girl, not some ugly muscle dude. So I

chose Lily because she's hands down the

hottest girl in all of Tekken. She's got

the best legs, and as a guy who likes

legs, I like Lily. Okay, so we got a match

here. Maybe I can show you what I mean.

Now with the quick match, you do find a

match fairly quickly, but sometimes it

does take a while, and you do get matched

up against people who are not too

difficult. But when I go into the Tekken

Lounge, I get matched up against people

who are like S+, 50,000 Tekken points,

and I get destroyed. So I'll play this

match and show you what I mean by how this

game is so stupid, and all that it takes

is for you to be launched up into the air.

Also, I don't know how to skip these

stupid cutscenes in the beginning. So you

get launched up into the air and then just

chain comboed constantly. And look how

laggy it is right now. I'm probably

against someone who's got bad internet or

something, but I can— look again,

uppercut straight away. It's like every

other person or character has a really

quick uppercut move that's faster than any

of my uppercuts. My uppercut moves involve

kicks, and kicks are way slower than

punts. Look, I can't move at all. I can't

even get off the damn ground. I can do a

little roll and get back up, but then I

get kicked in the face again. I can't do

anything. You see, the game's lagging

loads because he's got rubbish internet,

I think. I don't know why the internet's

so bad. So the main problem I'm having is

I find that most of the other characters

in this game have some way to really

quickly do some kind of uppercut that

launches you into the air, which is way

faster than anything I've got as Lily.

I've got this move I can do a kick that

sends them backwards. I can't really do a

combo into that because it doesn't knock

them into the air, it launches them

backwards. And then I can do this as well,

which launches them up, but it's kind of a

slow move because kicks are usually slower

than a punch. So I usually always lose

when it comes to who's fastest at doing a

launcher move, especially against

characters like Jin. They've got that

really quick, powerful uppercut that just

launches you into the air, and then you

get juggled over and over again. So I'll

try another round. This time my internet's

fixed. Oh look, match has been denied.

That's what keeps happening. I go into

practice mode, into quick match mode, and

I'm waiting in the practice mode looking

for an opponent, and 4 times out of 5 it

will find a match, and then I press enter

ready, and then it'll say match has been

cancelled or something, which is really

frustrating. You can find a match faster

in the Tekken Lounge, but then when I'm in

Tekken Lounge It places me against really

powerful players who have like S+ ranks.

They just are too good at the game. I

can't even move my character when I go up

against those people. I found someone from

the Middle East. I don't know if they have

good internet or not. I think they go AFK.

I think they're waiting for a match and

then they go AFK, so when it pops up

opponent found, they're not, they're not

actually there to accept the match. Okay,

so now I'm in the Tekken Lounge, which

usually finds me a match faster, but then

it puts me up against really powerful

people. So you've got this kind of open

world with a bunch of other players.

You've got to press semicolon to find a

match. So I usually do a quick match, and

I put connection no restrictions, and I

just begin search. And you'll see that it

takes quite a while until you can find a

match. I guess people are at work or

they're sleeping depending on the time

zone. I've chosen Europe time zone. I

don't know what time it is in Europe right

now, but that was the recommended area for

me to join. So see what happens when we

find a match and I'll show you how

annoying it is. So I got a match and for

some reason it matched me, quite a

beginner person, up against someone who is

S+, S+, and A rank and has like 58,000

Tekken Power Points, which I don't really

know what they are, but I'm guessing he's

pretty good at the game to have S+ ranks.

And it's so annoying because this game,

basically all it revolves around is who

can do the launcher before the other

person. And once you do the launcher,

like an uppercut or something, then you

just have to chain together a bunch of

combos and juggle the enemy up into the

air. And for some reason, I always get

juggled up into the air so badly, to the

point that I've had some rounds where I

literally cannot move at all. And as soon

as I get up, I get juggled again. And

every time I have an opportunity to fight

back, he always seems to block everything

I do. All my combos always get blocked

easily because they're all like mid-high

kind of combos. And then they've got these

combos where It starts off mid, then it

goes low, and then it goes high, and it's

impossible to predict where it's going to

go unless you've memorized every single

move list for every single character in

this whole damn game. So what happens is

you get launched or you get slammed into

the ground, and then you bounce off the

ground, and then he keeps doing these

little jabs or these little kicks to keep

you up in the air, and then you get

slammed into the wall, and then you bounce

off the wall, and then you get juggled

again as you bounce off the ground, and

then if they're really good at juggling

then it's basically game over. You don't

stand a chance. The only way to have a

chance of winning is if they are not good

at juggling and they screw up their combo,

which gives you a chance to actually fight

back. I really hate how you can endlessly

just juggle your enemy if you know enough

combos and you're good enough at doing the

combo, combo inputs. I think there should

be some kind of invincibility mode so that

when you get up off the ground, you have

like 2 seconds where you can actually get

off the ground without getting juggled

again. So you can see in the beginning of

this match, this is what every Skill

Tekken 8 player does. They do an uppercut,

and for some reason everyone's uppercut is

really quick and faster than even my basic

attacks, and there's no way to block it

unless you do like a low block or

something. And then they'll do the

uppercut, and then they'll keep spamming

the same move over and over again

sometimes, or they'll do some kind of

combo where you can't even stand up and

defend yourself. It's so stupid. I don't

know how people enjoy playing this game.

Where if you're going up against a good

person, you've only got like one chance of

not getting comboed into oblivion if

you're lucky. So I was nearly able to beat

him, but then he does his stupid finisher

move, like a cinematic move with this very

lengthy animation. Every single character

has a move like this, and if you don't

block it, then it will get triggered when

it goes into activation. But the stupid

animation is so damn long, it's so boring

watching these same animations over and

over again, and they're not even that

interesting to watch. At least Mortal

Kombat had interesting animations for the

fatalities and the very brutal violent

attacks for the cinematic attacks. The

ones in Tekken 8 are just kind of boring

to watch and you can't skip it.

So yeah, this game is really frustrating.

I'm still trying to practice so I could

learn some tricks to give myself an upper

hand because some of these players are

ridiculous. Some of them are so good that

they can even kind of predict what you're

gonna do before you even do it. So I lunge

at them, do some combos, they block it,

they sidestep it, I try to do the same, I

step back, but then they just come rushing

at me with some kind of stupid launching

attack and then juggle me until I'm down

to 0% health from 100%. It's just such a

stupid game sometimes.
