Looks like it's a new trailer every Tuesday! Can't wait to see my girls, Xiaoyu and Lidia.
I wonder Lidia will return, can't wait to see Xiaoyu, I'd be disappointed if she didn't make it.
I'm pretty excited about Jun, I really liked her in Tekken 2.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Very SNK-like specials and victory poses with that particle wing thing of his and what not. All the fighting games have become so convoluted in systems and mechanics like it's all Street Fighter now, missing the good ol days of Tekken 3 where you could win with the basics if you could predict your opponent even without knowing everybody's full moveset. If a hit looked like it hit then it did, rather than having to figure out a ton of different priority and hit effect systems on top of that simple act of a moving limb hitting someone's face or not. I'll try it since some tactics and moves are still in.

Still not next gen like the first trailer but looks way better than the last one. The background detail is very impressive and a big upgrade over the last Tekken.

Not that hard. Just need to practice to get the timing right. Kazuya ewgf is easier than other Mishima so you can practice it with him first.

I've been playing fighting games for 25 years, mostly casually but for a while I was involved in my local FGC and to me it seems fighting games have become much more accesible over time. However, it is true that a lot of the systems can be very deep.
The way Tekken was played casually back in the T2 or the TTG days can still work to have some fun but it won't work online. If you play with people you know and have the same knowledge of the game you won't see a difference from back then.
These games have lowered their entry barrier and increase their depth trying to please both casual and hardcore gamers. It took me a while to adjust but now I can play a wider variety of games and have fun without putting many hours to fully understand the mechanics. I got KOFXVI recently on sale and within a few minutes I was pulling combos easily. That wasn't possible back in the KOF 97 days, for example.

Man I’m kinda let down by the visuals after the first trailer - I almost feel like SF6 looks better now?

What a ripoff and that means Rock Howard will not be showing as a guest character in the game anytime soon. Maybe Terry or Kyo then.Very SNK-like specials and victory poses with that particle wing thing of his and what not.

They seem to have converted special moves into punches with a booming sound effect
Not sure what to think, compared to the new street fighter this looks incredibly weak

I am jealous of you time travelers. Here I am still waiting on Season 2 of KoF XV to release Kim Kaphwan and there you are playing the next installment.
Tekken 2 was light years ahead of the first, Tekken 4 had the most interesting changes to movement in the series, and Tekken 6 perfected the general formula with the exception of rebound after wall splat. You would be lucky to have this installment turn out so well.
P.S. This trailer really highlights how dumb a running attack looks starting at point blank range and how half-baked the gameplay design is. Also, I think most people are tired of "get ready for the next battle" line and just want to duke it out. Hopefully, that line is replaced with fast loading times.

I liked Jin with his mother’s fighting style. I don’t really like karate Jin.

I wish, but I doubt it especially with SF6 coming in June 2023 and possibly MK12 which is supposedly coming this year which I highly doubts. I think Tekken 8 will release in late Summer 2024 or more realistically Fall to Winter 2024.

I noticed that as well. Maybe they feel that’s currently their most visually impressive stage so far or the other stages aren’t ready yet to show off yet?

i actually like the announcer. i chuckle every time I hear him.
*5, 4 was the last experimental one, Tekken 5 was when they went hard on going back to being Arcade style and have stuck with it since only swapping out single mechanics between games.
Also Tekken Tag 2 was brilliant and nobody bought it, each time Tekken tries to do something different it bombs, we only have ourselves to blame.

Jin went from Power is everything to Strength isn't everything. Jin has shown characters development because he learned from past mistake.

From my understanding Namco said these trailers don't have all the effects yet so I'm willing to cut them some slack but that initial trailer really set a high bar they aren't meeting

Yeah i hope they can reach the first trailer level at the launch
3 stages so far but 2 other stages look boring so choose this one is better idea.
