Quirks of Tekken 8 Compared to Tekken 7
Character Hurtboxes are generally bigger in the Head/Shoulders/Arms regions Highs are generally the go-to now for keep-out because of this. Highs feel incredibly long. Quick, long highs feel very powerful. Example: Bryan 4, Bryan f,f+2. Mids that connect with the head/shoulders feel like they have incredible "phantom range" because of this quirk of T8. Examples: Bryan u+4, Bryan f+3. Character Hurtboxes are generally smaller in the waist region Many mids will whiff versus a single back-dash if the spacing is setup beforehand.
