Coming from a game like Tekken 7, <\/em>where players evolved with the game over nearly a decade from its arcade release in February 2015, T8’s<\/em> innovations provide some much-needed upgrades for anyone looking to learn the game. During the Red Bull Pindrop T8<\/em> event, we got insight from two of the game’s master commentators, Spag and Tasty Steve, regarding the simplified nature of approaching Tekken<\/em>.<\/p>
\u201cI\u2019m both scared and excited because Tekken 7 <\/em>because, through the pandemic and even 2019 people started joining the community and getting good really quickly,\u201d Spag said to Dot Esports. \u201cMind you, there\u2019s not a lot of features in Tekken 7 <\/em>that can help you like the way Tekken 8 <\/em>has tackled like the replays and tips.\u201d<\/p>
Spag, a high-level player and analyst, pointed out the updated replay options as a key to T8 <\/em>being incredibly special for competitive growth. For him, being able to visually see the thing that can get you the win can only be useful in ironing out weaknesses for players looking to improve. So, the ability to jump in and practice or experiment with things causing you issues in your matches or visual tips explaining what you could have done differently across several scenarios is a tool built right into the game. “The my replay, tips, and tutorials are really going to ramp up the amount of improvement and the number of top-level play we have in Tekken 8<\/em>,” Spag said. <\/p>
