Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my latest adventure in the world of Tekken 8. So, patch 1.04 dropped, and you know what that means – a whole new tier list to figure out. I spent days, no, weeks, grinding it out, trying to see who’s really the boss in this new update.
Getting Started
First off, I jumped straight into online ranked matches. I’m talking about a crazy amount of games, like, we’re talking tens of thousands here. I played with everyone, from the usual suspects to the ones you barely see. The goal? To see who’s winning the most, plain and simple. I started jotting down notes after each match, who I played against, who I used, win or lose – the whole nine yards.
The Grind
Now, this wasn’t just about playing a few matches and calling it a day. I dug deep. I’m talking about understanding each character’s moves, their best combos, how they handle different situations, you name it. It was intense. There were times I’d play for hours, and my brain would feel like it was about to explode. But hey, that’s what it takes, right? And the more I played, the more I started to see patterns. Certain characters just seemed to crush it more often than not. These were the ones landing those crazy long combos, punishing every mistake I made. It was brutal, but also super enlightening.
Figuring Out the Top Dogs
After all that, some characters really stood out. I mean, they were just dominating. We’re talking about the ones who can dish out a ton of damage with their combos and have an answer for almost everything you throw at them. They’re the ones you see at the top of the leaderboards, the ones everyone’s talking about. Yeah, you know who I mean. These guys have some serious punishment tools. If you mess up, they make you pay, big time. I started making a list, a rough draft of who I thought was really S-tier, A-tier, and so on.
The Easy Wins
But it wasn’t all about the top dogs. I also noticed some characters were just easier to pick up and play. Like, you could do pretty well with them without spending weeks in the lab. I’m talking about folks like Panda, Victor, Kuma, Jun, Lars, Alisa, Azucena, Feng, and Dragunov. These guys, they just clicked for me. And guess what? Turns out, a lot of people think Alisa, Azucena, Feng, Jun, and Dragunov are super strong right now. Makes sense, they’ve got some great tools and can really hold their own.
Putting It All Together
So, after all this madness, I finally put together my tier list. It’s not just based on my gut feeling, but on actual data. And it wasn’t just me, I checked out what other top players were saying, combined that with my own thousands of match results, and mixed it all together. It’s like cooking a giant pot of stew, you gotta get all the ingredients just right. I took all that, crunched the numbers, and boom – here’s my take on who’s who in Tekken 8 after patch 1.04.
It was a wild ride, but totally worth it. I feel like I really got a good handle on the state of the game now. It’s always a new challenge when a patch drops, but that’s what makes it exciting. Now, time to get back in there and see if I can climb even higher on the ladder.
- S-Tier: These are the beasts, the ones everyone fears.
- A-Tier: Super strong, just a notch below S.
- B-Tier: Solid picks, can definitely hold their own.
- C-Tier: They need a bit more love, but still fun to play.
- D-Tier: Oof, these guys are struggling right now.
Hope this helps you guys out there. Remember, this is just my take on things, your mileage may vary. Now go out there and show them what you’ve got!
