Tekken 8 is by no means an easy game. Learning inputs and perfecting the timing on your combos is a challenge within itself, but implementing them into combat is another. Fortunately, there are multiple opportunities to spend time practicing your combos and honing your skills, which you’ll probably feel like you need to do when you start to get ready to jump online or start taking on more significant challenges throughout the game.
I may not be the best Tekken player in the world but I can confidently string together combos and occasionally swan around like a bit of a golden god. However, when paired with someone who lives and breathes practice rooms, the holes in my performance come to light incredibly quickly. Thanks to ghost battles, Tekken 8’s new mechanic that allows you to battle against yourself to help focus on remedying these issues, I’ve started to make a bit of progress toward bettering my skills, but that hasn’t stopped me from being aggressively humbled by the fighting game.
