I'm ready to do my scrub Wind God Fist -> 1 -> 1, 1, 2 juggle combo that I've been doing since (*checks notes*)... Tekken 2

Joking, I know, but ... I honestly wonder how that could possibly work out.
Those two series are as far apart as you can possibly be within the same genre.
Tekken with SF characters will likely piss off SF people.
And so would the other way around.
I just don't see how such a game could be developed without alienating about half of the fanbase.

I remember pulling off King’s Cradle in the arcade after practicing at home. The days when most players didn’t know how to break the throw.

It's funny I think the Virtual Fighter/Tekken/Dead or Alive style of 3D fighter just seem to age much faster than alternatives.
Like I can imagine looking at Dragon Ball Fighterz in 2 decades and thinking it looks good, because things like Street Fighter III Alpha still looks good, you can sort of tell.
I think when you go for this semi realism rather than a stylised Fighter it just ages much quicker as more detailed models in other genres become available and you naturally compare.
Like I recently replayed Okami and thought the game looked beautiful, you don't get that with things like Tekken sadly.

As others have said, as long as they put actual graphical effort into PS5/SX versions i'll be happy.

I still play T7 on PS5, which is at least 1080p. But the complaints are legit; this game could use a resolution boost and a decrease in load times. Its still being sold, DLC still came out in like 2021.

Tekken 8 should have come like 2 years ago. I doubt they will throw last gen out of the window but I'm hopeful.

For context Tekken 7 used U4 engine while MK11 that looks 2 generations ahead was using U3. Lets be real here, Japanese developers are lazy as fuck and yes, MK11 also ran at 60fps.

Jesus H Christ. When this was announced I thought, "...already"?
Then I checked when Tekken 7 released and it was well over 7 fucking years ago. Getting older wouldn't be so bad if I still perceived time the way I did when I was 10.
I feel your pain. At this rate I’m not going to live to see a Tekken 9.

It was actually a pretty good game, I thought Capcom did a really good job translating the Tekken characters into SF but it was destroyed by horrible microtransaction bs - like they had a gem system where you pick gems and they buff character stats and the gems were sold/preorder bonuses. Then it was discovered that the following DLC characters were already complete and on the disk but hidden behind a paywall. They really shat the bed with its release - the promo trailers leading up to its release were top tier too

It's in the teaser trailer of the latest Tekken 7 update (available on August the 17th), anyhow...

The complete version released later on was better. I bought it on Vita for a few bucks and it had all extra characters, balance updates and the gem system was revised I think.
What killed this game at launch were the gems and the fact characters were locked on purpose. Matches were also kind of boring ending up in lots of time overs. The game never recovered from it but the 2013 revision was actually a fairly good game.

It didn't help that SFxT standardized normal move damage across all characters save for big ones like Zangief.
Akuma's polished T7 implementation suggests Bamco would do a significantly better job of it, were they to lead on a prospective TxSF.

I always like to see the wild new design they give Yoshimitsu.

I don’t think he’ll be back. Probably controversial, but I’m honestly hoping that there will be no 2D characters in Tekken 8 and yes, I like and have all the characters in the game. If they come back, hopefully they will make them full fledged 3D characters.

There will probably be another broken character to take his place. Seems to be a common theme in fighting games I noticed.

Yeah it was clearly a way of saying the user base was mostly on PlayStation, why waste money ?
Or they were lazy.
Well this time , it should be ok.
It should be at least on par with the PS5 with the series X.

The white line in the top of the image and the lack of the text that appeared in that video means it's only a screenshot of the video made by Geoff to act as if he knew it and to mislead making people think he'll have a Tekken related announcement on his show.
If he would have get it from Bandai Namco would be a proper and polished PR image, not a screenshot from a stream.
Geoff is only shamelessly fishing for some attention with embarassing tactics again.

Absolutely no excuse for 720p Tekken 7 in XSX, but I think it’s normally more of a case of Western game developers typically getting significantly bigger budgets for game development compared to Japanese developers. I think Tekken 7 budget was relatively close to Tekken 5 or maybe it was it Tekken 6 from what I heard. Can’t remember.

Honestly I'm kinda baffled at how successful Tekken 7 has been. When I played it, it was just launching people and deleting half their health bar. Yeah it's fun to land but not to play against. You just had to sit there and wait for too long when you were up in the air.
That and how much stuff there was to memorize. Doing the moves wasn't that big of a deal on most characters but man, there was way too much to watch out for. It legit felt less about who fought better and more about who memorized enough for the test.
The movement felt bad too, just like fighting on ice. It's a 3D fighter where you can move around but they made the movement crap. Just puzzling design choice.
More fighting games should follow Soulcalibur's example by being more about decision making and less about memorizing stuff. The genre really needs more stuff like that.
