is tekken 8 the perfect entry for new players?

[kerwell]

always avoided it bc 'lol 146 moves in a move list per character' and ultimately, im not a BIG fan of xy axis fighters, even soul calibur, but im a HUGE fan of reinas character design and really thinking about giving it a shot. however, other than tekken tag tournament, never really touched and feel like it takes too much effort and time to get good at it.

No series game is perfect for the new player. But you can still enjoy it, I guess

If I said it once, I said it a thousand times.
The perfect game to get into fighting games is SF6 and its World Tour mode.

Tekken 8 is a really great game, but if I started with this one, I probably would've ditched.

I would recommend T7 instead if you intend to learn... although do take note that its mostly dead online wise.. but you can still play treasure battle..

This game at its current state still has a lot of "bs move" unless you learn how to properly sidestep, duck, or be patient and respect the frame. T7 also have + frame but not as oppressive as T8 and without properly learning the basic and lots of learning and losses, I don't think you will enjoy it that much... if you want flashy move however T8 I think is great. and it being the new entry obviously the graphic, and stuff is good as well...

If you have never played a Tekken game its a lot to learn start with the arcade modes and learn the basics. I've seen some say they are winning at a really low clip but I'm not good at Tekken just familiar with it from playing for years and I'm winning more than I lose. Its not a hard game to pick and play but if you want to climb long term you will have to learn a lot of stuff.

If you are familiar with fighting games you will be fine. There are plenty of bad players that play Tekken. You will likely find yourself ahead of the curve if you play fighting games frequently.

Depends what u are expecting. If you wanna have fun go for it . If you expect to become tekken god fast and kill everybody around it wont happen,you will get beaten for years until you learn. If you are not patient player avoid this game.

It's my first tekken and as long as you're willing to learn (and do homework), you'll be fine, just remember to play offline plenty for practice, and check out the occasional youtube videos.
