I think the only reason I watch Tekken 8 is out of habit, because I enjoyed watching Tekken 7. My memory of 7 is visually impressive gameplay where both players are dancing in and out of each other's range with dashes and sidesteps before engaging. Tekken 8 just looks like two fucking gorillas taking turns mashing buttons in the other gorilla's face. It's ugly, it's inelegant, and it's completely incomprehensible as a spectator. Every button looks safe until it suddenly isn't and one player is getting carried to the wall for 10 seconds and 60% of their HP. AFTER the HP buff.
It's crazy how Tekken 8 feels like it has less neutral than fucking SF6, a game with a dedicated neutral skip mechanic.
