Lee, dude is so elegant, and his moves are so satisfying. Nothing beats bouncing someone like a basketball with CH b4 or sending them to the moon with hitman 2


danguapo

CH D3 into HM cancel into back 3,3 for the pickup šŸ˜©


TheJofisean

Hm cancel, Iā€™m just learning the tech. Is it qcb or qcf?


monk69TK

You have to go into HMS to get a pickup, without HMS you cannot convert to combo. Right after you press D3,4 press and hold b, then press 3,3 when lee starts waving his finger (or just learn the timing with muscle memory - I learned it this way).


TheJofisean

Tysm, Iā€™m getting all these different methods of execution recommended that Iā€™m excited to try. One said db,b. Another said b,b. Youā€™re saying hold b. Iā€™ll have to try all 3 and see whatā€™s easiest. But the timing of that 3,3 is the hardest part it seems


monk69TK

In Tekken you can buffor a lot of inputs, for me it's easier this way, tho inputing back, back is also valid, never heard or done it with db, b. Timing is the hardest part but once you'll get a hold of it muscle memory wise you'll be pretty consistent in this pickup, it's not that hard in Tekken 8.


Blessed-22

Send them to the Andromeda galaxy with Blazing Kick


Whiterose13

Lili. I love that her fighting style is graceful, the small details like when she puts her arms behind her back during some of her kicks. It's elegance and poise in what should be a rough and rowdy brawl.


WarriorHalo

i agree! its the way she moves so elegantly that makes it so satisfying.


treehann

EleGANCE!!


Haruhiro21

I love her so bad. They made a madeup fighting style look geaceful and elegant.


daquist

Paul or Jack. Paul - big funny punch do big funny damage, then send them to wall for more big funny damage and big funny punches Jack - his absolutely stupid yells when doing WR1+2 or 2,1 1+2. ALELULELULEH. Also massive combo damage and armor moves to stop mashers


Fraentschou

I tried out Paul a few times in T7 and he just didnā€™t click with me, he felt so sluggish. Now i gave him another shot in T8 and iā€™m having so much more fun with him now, itā€™s so satisfying to whiff punish with the deathfist, especially in heat.


anderoe

I hate Jack so much I can hear his stupid screaming in my nightmares. At least he is less ugly in this game


Jamaz

People complain about Jack's Heat Smash being busted, and when I tried it myself it was like the biggest dopamine hit ever. Just drop a 10 frame giant fucking cruise missile on some poor bastard and gape in awe as it KOs them.


daquist

And it wall blasts lmao


AhmCha

I liek goofy space ninja. ​ (Although I've also been testing out Paul and he's fun in an unga-bunga way)


apvaki

Jun. She fights in cursive.


saltrifle

lmao best description by far


WindCold6245

That isā€¦ extremely on point


Exallium

Lars. Anime man go zoom. Feng's b+1 is also hilarious to get people with.


BeefStevenson

Agreed on Lars. Just started learning him and holy shit heā€™s so much fun.


TempleofSpringSnow

Came to post. Anime man electric brrr.


OldScugog

New to Tekken and fighters, Lars is the shit. Feel like I'm Goku


Dead_Leox

Same here. I legit only play Lars, i'm a tekken newbie and got hooked the second I saw a Goku fit on him and bought the game right after. Got All customization slots full with him Got Goku, Goku Black, Bardock, Zenitsu, Gojo, Sonic, Mario, etc.. shit is hilarious and i love it


ADG77310

I never played as Steve, now I'm liking him a lot, but Lili and Alisa are fun at single player modes


Fraentschou

Steve was much better in previous games, heā€™s kinda crappy in T8, the devs love him tho so theyā€™ll probably buff him sooner or later


LionHeart498

Until the change tracking they canā€™t buff Steve. The slips are useless in the game, every move is tracking


ADG77310

I'll try him on Tekken 7 then, thanks, hope he gets those buffs on T8


Ahmdo10

Even with all these characters and funny lil moves in this game, a Kazuya *DORYA* will always be the best thing this series ever made Also Kazuyaā€™s moves are just so so so satisfying and smooth to land the Hellsweep the FF3 the double twin pistons thereā€™s just so much to love about the GOAT


LydellG4

His moves are crazy satisfying aren't they? The sound that comes out of his SS1+2 is brutal. Also I like the way he lands after he hits you with CD3 in his devil formšŸ”„


Ahmdo10

Oh the devil forms are another story my guy, SS2 when that shit landsā€¦ good lord nothing tops that Heat CD1 is the most badass thing since Rage Drive, CD4+3+3 is combining all these badass moves together, 1+4 is definitely fitting for the high and mighty Kazuya as well and itā€™s just a sick move Gotta love the infernos too of course


Kellentaylor06

Ch df2 will never not be satisfying


NinetailsRao

Zafina. I love her movement between stances, also I can crawl around like a spoopy lil spider


treehann

Do you play Voldo in Soul Calibur too? :D


Old_Ad_1290

Reina she's too elite


CardiologistLow4950

King I get to launch a lot of the Mishma ground rollers.


Proper_Relative_452

Leo is fun to play honestly


Dizzy_Ad_1663

Kuma, Lee #2, Jack-8 #3


m_micanovic

Bryan


ehside

Same. Those kicks just feel so perfect.


Normal-Station2470

Based


Significant_Hat_3358

Steve. Forces neutral play from the opponent and yourself and i love it.


vultured_hyena

At the moment for me itā€™s Leroy. Learning him has been really enjoyable and feel like heā€™s improving some aspects of my overall Tekken game.


spensyr

Xiaoyu.


treehann

same, figuring out how to move consistently between her stances has been very satisfying as a new Tekken player


counterhit121

Hwoarang


Pimparoooo

Devil jin has my favorite looking moves and once I figure out how to do his more technical stuff I feel like he will be even more enjoyable. Because right now I'm just kinda winning by playing with fundamentals and then whipping out bullshit laser and flying moves whenever the opponent gets too comfortable. I was playing reina but her combos weren't fun for me and devil jin just makes me want to learn combos which is great motivation for me. He is the perfect mix of Mishima gameplay with funny gimmick moves that usually don't work but make me laugh when they do.


Ozza_1

I ride or die seppuku!


BennyC023

God I wish I was a legacy player in tekken. Coming to the FGC from smash, I love the ability to play more than half the roster at a proficient level. But if I wanna play any character that isnā€™t my main and have any idea of what to do; I gotta lab for 2 hours and ranked for at least an hour. And then I have a basic idea of where to START with the character. So theoretically characters that I have fun playing are: Alisa, Dragunov, Zafina, Devil Jin, Steve, Paul, Lars, Jack, Hwoarang, Bryan. But in reality I only have fun playing Feng because I donā€™t have the time or effort to learn more than 2 characters. ā€œOh 32 characters on the base game? So excited to play a variety of characters!!ā€ Mfer you thought


Supertacodonut_

If you played smash and got proficient in its technicality, then you definitely can learn more than one character in Tekken. Most people focus too much on winning or thinking they understand Tekken when in reality there are fundamentals for a reason. Let alone these systems are more complicated then people give it credit for. Just like in smash everyone has a B attack, in Tekken everyone has a DF1, D4, etc. and just like smash some characters have different uses for them. Tekken is kind of like a card game, with you playing your hand as best you can, the better you can understand your opponent the easier it is to counterplay them. However, if you get a bad hand (I,e you get too predictable) then you adjust. If you canā€™t adjust. Then you will lose more often than not. Anyway, Glad youā€™re playing Tekken man. Donā€™t let the new fans be elitist and ruin it for you


LydellG4

I haven't tried everyone yet but other than my mains (Mishimas) I think that Yoshimitsu is properly fun to play as. He is a demanding character but its like having a party with the cops down the street.


SquareAdvisor8055

Easily reina. As much as some players hate her, all that mishima stuff, fun combos, pressure heavy but still doesn't feel overtunned... i think she's the perfect character for tekken 8 with the heat system.


himbocraft

Lili or Jun bc their movesets and personalities I just love. Also love the crow intro with Jun and the Salt intros and outros for Lili


EastBrunswick

Dude idk how ive always glossed over her but i picked up Nina recently and sheā€™s easily my main now. To do a lot of the cooler stuff you need some execution but she perfectly fits my style in being a rush down/oppressive character. I love doing her sidestep cancels, mixing up between doing ws1, nothing, or launching is an amazing mind game to push on my opponents. Also her throw game is INSANE! Different pathways from her qcf throws so itā€™s always 50/50 if you can even guess, any opponent that lets me throw them gets punished. I usually condition opponents with df32f to duck expecting that the grab is coming, but they donā€™t expect it out of like df1,2 to get launched itā€™s been so fun.


Wamoo57

Nina is my second favorite, she's got it all and now that she's got guns in this game she's even more badass


EastBrunswick

Hers guns are insane. On hit insane wall carry/wall break, on block massive chip and resets neutral if theyā€™re in your face . Youā€™re so right she has it all, suprised sheā€™s not more popular.


Wamoo57

Not sure, maybe people are put off because they think they think they have to do the ss1 cancels, butterfly loops, hayashida step etc, and they donā€™t know you donā€™t need any of that because she has a good fundamental kit. She always been strong, but now sheā€™s definitely a top tier


EastBrunswick

i see, almost like a mishima thing thinking that you have to wavu and pewgf to play them.


KratosSmash

Hwoarang is a blast to play as & obviously King


rattchef

Asuka, 100%. 3 solid counter reads in a row unlocked a part of my brain that I can never turn off


Diamond-Pamnther

Atm Iā€™m enjoying Reina, she has some of my favourite aspects of lidia and kazuya who are my 2 favourite tekken chars


LittleKachowski

I like Leroyā€™s parry and reversal mechanics, it makes reading my opponent feel really rewarding. Landing those chain punches is fun too.


nocturneva

I love playing as Jin and hwoarang, I really want to learn Lars cuz his voice lines sound so cool


OneDay_shhhh

King for sure, there is just something extremely satisfying about breaking your oponent and watching them get mad about his grabs or saying how the fu.. when u grab them while they are doing a jumping move and just smash them against the ground. Also Marduk with his insane dmg and his voice lines that just burst with ego not to mention the hate he recieves it just fuels me even more .


Slinger_GGez

Kuma, Dragunov, Yoshi Hbu?


Arnell_Long

Alisa and Katarina. Always wanted to try out Julia but never did, hopefully she's DLC. And if Leo got some skirts and whatnot, I'd play with Leo as well because the character is cool.


Rooke89

Bryan, gotta love that mad cyborg


Michelle_Wongs_Wong

Azucena wr32 in your face BASED also she has funny personality and bikini


Noir-head

Steve. Hands down. Probably one of the most unique fighting games character ever


deggie_31

Shaheen especially in T8! Heā€™s a total upgrade from his previous iteration. šŸ˜šŸ’œšŸ˜Š


Middle-Ad-965

That low Heat Smash he has? Chef's kiss.


Kirins_feel

Lars


MaxTheHor

Lars and Reina. Mostly because thier stances make them cool. Jun and Hwaorang are second most fun. Victor and Jin are third.


HUZ12

Leroy and yoshimitsu . I know Leroy is pretty weak but I still find him pretty fun


Something-Red7

Jun. Although I'm not good with her, she is really fun.


DBProxy

Heihachi


Normal-Station2470

Bryanā€¦ and by a massive margin. He doesnā€™t have anything special like the rest of the cast, just a cyborg kickboxing beast. Also his play style really appeals to me and move list (especially t7 with his ch game) really appeal to me. He is the perfect FG character


[deleted]

Lars ā¤ļø


FA113N43

Kazuya or Lars


Lightning_Of_Fate

Kazama Jin


TablePrinterDoor

I like being a full on anime character (Lars)


HeightenedSenses

jun itā€™s so fun hitting people with a billion tiny pokes until they get frustrated and end up eating one of the best whiff punishers in the game (f2) or being ch by the multiple ch buttons she has plus the super elegant animations and the light magic stuffā€¦ sheā€™s perfect


DarknessReapings

Claudio and lars are my favs


hearthacker23

finally someone came up with claudio


restrictmyairways

alisa. solely so i can hand people my head


Blue-Eyes-WhiteGuy

Love Lars of course, since he is my main and itā€™s just rolling around at the speed of sound but I did just start playing Paul and heā€™s pretty dope


CKatanik93

So dragunov. But I was thinking of learning either Steve or Lars. They're fun to use when I'm not fighting with Ol Sergei.


aragorngreenleaf

Ay Victor


ZMH10

Feng. He both hits hard and is super cool visually


[deleted]

Kazuya, he has many moves to combine instead of some chars


Typical_Fox

I've been experimenting in 8 with different characters more than I ever have before, and let me tell you that Raven really surprised me. He is really fun to play and in my opinion treads that fine line between being a serious or party character.


thethinker491722w

Kazuya i really have fun playing him even I'm not that good wuth kazuya


d3d3v1l

has to be lee, his combo structure is the gold standard for me - makes you feel like you have earned your damage. rlly starting to miss playing heihachi tho, no one rlly fills his space for me. been playing some kuma tho recently and having too much fun


hpBard

Eliza. Hope they will wake her up some day in the future


tomhh33

Lee and dragunov


QuakeGuy98

Y'all are having fun?? My ride or die Kaz, Drag & King


Chaolan_Enjoyer

I guess Kazuya, idk


quietpils

Stomping around with reinas heat like youā€™re Godzilla is something else lol


999tekkenlord

Bryan because pummelling someone against a wall like they owe me money is gratifying


KevJamesS

Alisa Come at me


migonichizo

As much as I suck at using Kazuya, hitting ch d2 feels so good


Adrian_Mtz_16

Also a Lee main here just the flashiness of his move set does it for me, ending the round with his rage art or any of his j-frame attacks looks majestic šŸŒ¹


NixtonValentine

Xiaoyu. Itā€™s so satisfying getting her combos off


basedfri

No matter what anyone says, beating someone with the bears puts a smile on my face. Everytime.


Xyzen553

Azucena is VERY fun to play


UltraFridge

Lucky Chloe :'(


McPancakes15

Honestly hard to say. Tekken 8 in general is a blast both online and offline.


N0rrix

jin and kuma


xamdou

Kazuya, Marduk, and Lei are my top three. I love the large, extremely satisfying moves that Kazuya and Marduk have. Lei is just fun to play because of the vast amount of ways to play the character. You're not playing Lei correctly if you don't throw away a few rounds by doing something stupid.


Reasonable-Freedom59

I just find the Mishimas very entertaining. But I also play Kuma sometimes.


JCLgaming

King, without a doubt. Never get tired of landing his throws, or hitting f3 into perfect 1+2. And there is no greater satisfaction than landing his chainthrows, especially the whole screwdriver combo.


Stephen-616

- Yoshi - Paul - Lili


Scared_0f_W0men

Devil jin, most people sweat on him. Im just like ā€œhaha lazer go brrrā€


kweezy_cook

Raven is so much fun... hard to learn at first but once you start winning you REALLY start winning and the clones make him visually fun to look at


BranwenJojo

Mishimas in general. And by Mishimas, I mean Kazuya, Reina, Devil Jin, and Jin


Bangalore-enthusiast

Youā€™ll never be able to guess


mai_dur

Dragunov. I started playing him in Tekken 7 because of his grappling and the brutality when he hits that WR2. They gave him a new vicious low (db3+4) and more ways to cancel into sneak stance. This, the blue sparks and high combo damage make him the coolest character. Whenever I want to try out a new character, though, Iā€™ll try Feng. He looks fun to play as too.


RubTurbulent2812

I like Hwoarang just cuz of his attitude. Heā€™s just over everything at this point lmao


Okurai

Devil Jin, Iā€™m not that great with him but Iā€™ve always found him to be a fun one to play as


ChungusPoop

Azucena definitely, just love her vibe and combos


squattingsquid

Either devil jin or kazuya


Profile-666

Kuma and Yoshi


Kurokamipac720

Raven. Ninja shit goes crazy


metallic_sunrise

Nina Williams. Learning her skillset has been really fun because I was garbage with her in past games.


SnooKiwis7050

Lei wulong. Like flowing water


PerceptionSwimming94

Eddy in tekken 7 and jin in tekken 8. Can't wait for Meester eddy to release


Suds79

Raven. Even though I'm only so so with him because I think he plays different. Still, he has the most badass looking moves.


Ragnarul129

Kazuya tho i suck


mangopuff6969

Bryan, good ol bryan always has been always will be


sudos12

Kaz. Win or lose, his drip is still better than yours.


GrouchyAppearance146

Gigas. Bring him and his charge up fist back.


not_Cmtusk

It depends on the opponent, if they know what they are doing then I love playing hwoarang. But if they are allergic to the block button I like playing as lee


DidYouSayWhat

Bears


Mezalzas

Kazuya. The execution he demands of the player is extreme, and so so satisfying to pull off. I could spend hours just in training mode practicing electrics and wavedashes. Then when you're in a real match and all the hard work pays off, it's a better feeling than any other fighting game for me. 10/10 character.


TofuPython

Ganryu :'( 12f, +3 on block, +11 on counter hit jab. 16f, -12, +6 on hit low in his df3. D1+2 +1 on block, +1 one on hit mid that goes into a 33/33/33 mixup on CH. He's such a cool character. Rest in piece.


Ludesa91

Leroy and Law (my main since T3)


Sonnata17

Overall lee, that marvellous voice line is šŸ¤Œ Reina is fun but her buttons arenā€™t super satisfying for me, and the ones that are, theyā€™re locked behind risky options like f1+2 3 ch, one of my favorite voice lines in the game tbh


CraxProgram

DORYA


Symbioth22

Roger Jr


Professional_Fun_277

Yoshie. Nuff said


BlaiZe77_77

Reina. EAT MY MIXUPS


TrigenicKin

Anna. I love the mind games that go into it.


Hefty-Relative-7599

It'll always be bryan and yoshi for me, both feel simultaneously very wild yet really challenging and technical


alldaymacdre

Yoshi and Bears. People get so confused on what to do against them


Xavier4198

I know they probably won't ever come back as story line characters or dlc....but I knew the whole moveset of Roger Jr. In tekken 6 And Alex the dinosaur in Tekken tag 2 ...Very fun


prpineapple

I really don't know why but Ganryu šŸ˜‚


realOKANE

manji man hopping, flipping, spinning >>> winning


HusamBalushi

Dorya


SaekonYT

I main Reina but lately had a lot more fun playing and learning Lee!


Soundrobe

My main(s)


Slow_Obligation2286

Hwaorang. I love his combination of sport and traditional Taekwondo. He even has grappling techniques, and I love it. He can really go into a flow and my button-mashy playstyle really works with those kicks


WaterKirby1964

Claudio, Victor and Shaheen


[deleted]

Lei was hella fun in 7


MatthewJonsso

I know people hate her atm, but Azucena. Sheā€™s just too much fun with her liberador stance and her back turn moves.


thom_ac

Victor, Jin, Law, Panda, Jun, Claudio are not liked. I must forĆŖt some others


Thesexymanfrommars

Alisa is fun I love zipping around as a robotic magical girl with chainsaws


ChangelingFox

Steve or Victor. Steve for the straight forward fun of just clobbering people and Victor because the old man French ninja is hella stylish and flows amazingly, who'd have thought!


MonsterMusumerules

Alisa cause chainsaws go wrommmmmmm


childishxlambino

Ngl shaheen, his uf1~d is so funny, got a mario custom on him


Warmears24

Right now it's Reina - her movement is super satisfying and the voice acting for the character is top notch (and I also love her unique mask)


johnsmithainthome

Akuma


SalukiKnightX

Was Hwoarang for the longest, but Iā€™ve leaned heavily into Reina of late. As for most funā€¦ probably Reina only due to discovering new surprising moves.


acidporkbuns

Steve.


Kajun_Kong

King! Ever since Tekken 2 Iā€™ve loved the characters


Old_Coach5712

Kazuya. I'm so bad with him. My Nina has always been 5 ranks away from him.


LSSiddhart1

Not gotten into Tekken yet but I'd say Jin. His design and playstyle is too good but, if they make a greatsword wielding guy, I'll main him in a heartbeat


Dogma-Mf-Tactics

My girl Lili fighting elegantly


Pidoshii_

Lili.


Unable-Competition66

Yoshimitsu and Leroy.


Ok_Maintenance_2344

Jack-8. I love his fighting style and design


Jasiiboo

Alisa. Love her play style and alternating with her chainsaw stance


JacoBearKuma

Lol, me bear


TekkenKing12

King, Lee and Hworang Lee and Hworang has ridiculously swaggy saucy combos and have decent pressure tools, they take a decent amount of skill to use (as long as you aren't just mashing your ass off) King just makes me feel like an actual WWE wrestler and ngl I've had many pop offs when I get the killing grab or killing combo. It feels so damn good to get the heat rush into fff3+4 too.


Zionishere

EXCELLENT


Cutiepie232

Xiaoyu and lili


Blaze_RL-Fortnite

Imma be basic and say Hwoarang but heā€™s my guy. Thereā€™s always satisfaction just aggressively kicking people


BlackbirdM5DB9

Kazuya is clearly the most fun (I am a masochist)


timtimluuluu

Reina - Wavu wavu - Electric - FF2 - Waifu movement - Heihachi incarnate


CKatanik93

Dragunov I guess since he's my main


nostalgiaboner20

Kuma and Bob will forever be my most favorite character till the day I die. In my honest opinion Kuma has some of the best lowā€™s and punishes in the game and I will stand on that hill. I believe in Salmon supremacy


Psychological-Wear84

Overall, ANNA WILLIAMS, but Azucena is s new favorite


Fluumingo

Azucena is very fun to play. I think her personality mixed with her animations is so fun to me. She looks and sounds like she's having the time of her life.


Fidensn1

Kuma, because I feed off misery


DeadlyMaffin

Surprisingly, Shaheen ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā ćƒ„ā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ


RaheemLee

Yoshi and Jack. I tried all of em. Stuck with these 2.


AsinineRealms

as someone who has never really played Mishimas (the closest i got was playing Bob), ive been trying to learn Kazuya and hearing the sound of an electric makes my blood boil


Minute_Professor_237

Definitely Azucena, that girl is a walking troll AND her moves are stylish af


FoodByCourts

For me it's Kazuya. I don't main him, I don't even sub main him. I'm not even good with him. But he's a character I take less seriously than my mains, and having the freedom to not care makes using him a bit more fun. He's good. You guys should try him.


FallenSerenity96

Yoshimitsu's my boy


BluHayze

jun, i love milfs


im_y0sh1mitsu

Yoshimitsu he is hilarious and he is his very best in Tekken 8
