This hybrid control style lets you\u00a0easily perform select moves with every character, though you will want to turn off Special Style in certain scenarios.\u00a0 Special Style is something developer Bandai Namco implemented in\u00a0Tekken 8\u00a0to open the franchise up to a wider audience, giving casual players a simple way to fire off some of the game\u2019s more complicated combos without needing to spend hours in the lab. Unlike\u00a0Street Fighter 6\u2019s\u00a0Modern Control option,\u00a0you can freely toggle Special Style on and off at any point\u00a0during a match in\u00a0T8\u2014making it a solid tool for veteran players, too. How to disable and enable Special Style in Tekken 8\u00a0 You can turn Special Style on and off in Tekken 8 with the push of a button. By default, the toggle for Special Style is mapped to the L1 Button on PlayStation 5, the LB Button on Xbox, and O for PC players using a keyboard instead of a controller. Simply press the relevant button or key to turn Special Style on and again to turn it off, and vice versa. You can freely map this input to any button you like in the Controller Setup portion of the Options menu before you try and\u00a0take on the game\u2019s story mode\u00a0or head online. Special Style was designed to give as many players as possible a way to enjoy Tekken 8 with a simple and easy design that maps a selection of combos or specific moves to single-button inputs. This was expanded during development to include different moves and actions for directional inputs while using the control scheme.\u00a0 T8 producer Michael Murray views Special Style as a tool that makes the game more \u201caccessible for newcomers\u201d while maintaining a depth and utility that can remain \u201cappealing to intermediate or advanced players as well.\u201d Despite playing a lot of Tekken, I am abysmal at timing air juggles with characters that I don\u2019t play often, so being able to toggle Special Style on and perform solid juggles across the roster with a single button allows me to focus on other areas of my gameplay.\u00a0 Having Special Style active does limit which moves you can use, however, so it is not optimal to always have it turned on if you want access to your character\u2019s full range of options. That makes knowing when to flip the special switch a useful tool in your arsenal that you need to master.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tekken-8-story-mode.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1110527"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1110527"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1110527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1110576,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1110527\/revisions\/1110576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1068165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1110527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1110527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1110527"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1110527"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1110527"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1110527"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1110527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
