Is T8 dying?

[Sandy]

24 hour peak is only 17.9k.
Even a lame game like SF6 had 24.8k in its 24 hour peak. While being released much earlier.

[Spirit]

10k players online. yes this game is dying and it's because there is no balance. fix the endless combos and the most op characters already

[Knightspace]

30-day average for SF6: 13,132.2

30-day average for Tekken 8: 18,838.3

All in all, numbers are relatively the same and will remain so over the next few months. This also only includes Steam players, so why are you complaining?

[Sandy]

Nah, in the next few months T8 will sit at 12k during peak times at most.

[cinless]

Tekken 7 was playable when the daily peak barely hit 3k, fighting games don't need half a million players to stay alive.

The twt price money announcement will affect this

Out of all fighting games T8 is probably the most difficult of them all because of its character depth and knowledge.

SF6 still has 20k+ after 9 months, so no.

There's no shame is admitting SF6 "Capcom" is doing something right, for sure. Numbers for T8 are uncertain, as to what they'll be a year from now. Where as SF6 has been out a while, and is still going strong. The question for me, is so what, I like T8, so what can Bandai do to keep it's player numbers high over time? Is it just a balance issue?

Because when numbers get low, other problems happen online like more smurfs etc etc, and even more 'high level' only players, so for most casuals they stop playing, At the same time SF6 retains more casuals it seems, but I'm not sure how or why.

Do you folk think that T8 would be inviting of a larger range of different skilled players, if each 'skill group' had more to do/more fun ways/modes to play, at their skill level? If the only goal is to get to TGO, then I don't think player retention will last, imo.

Not everyone can be a pro football player, and not everyone can be a top tekken player.

But in football you can play with others at any level and have fun. What is Bandai in Tekken 8 doing to mirror that in order to help keep player counts high, at each skill level? Ghost mode is one thing imo, but maybe there are more things in DLCs that could keep the game going strong for 10 years!

Imagine top football players in a stadium with no one watching, just playing each other, by themselves. That's what happens in fighting games. How do you keep the club players and casuals on board. Because they are the pro player's "stadium filling audience" and those lower ranked players will not relate to the pros if they can't play the game at a lower level for long and if they can't have fun doing it. imo.

=================================================================
TLDR:

The game is awesome, and I think parts of the game areas may be highly tweakable, so what do folk think could keep the player count high, and even raise it up a bit.

That's my question.

They released a new character recently, so yes.

Why the hate boner for Tekken?

2 weeks is not "recently". And even before Ed it was 20k+.

I don't hate T8. Just stating facts.

[Kisiel]

I only played T8 like not much more than a week after release, it is boring. I regret that I paid £90 for ultimate knowing now that I don't think I'll play this ever again 😂

It is recently, hell you on about lmao. Add to this the ongoing sale and you have big numbers. Same thing will happen when Eddy is released in Tekken.

Just how it is with Fighting games. Besides, crossplay still exists, ya know, for both games

Do you ignore the numbers before Ed came out? There wasn't any sale back then and SF6 had 20k+ players during its peak times.

But I guess whatevet floats your delusional bubble.
