I played over 20 hours of the Tekken 8 Closed Network Test (CNT), so here are my brutally honest opinions about the changes from Tekken 7, the netcode, the "heat" system, and King's new moves! Despite my weird relationship with Tekken, I still had a lot of fun! Also keep in mind that this will be the first Tekken to release without an arcade version existing prior, so expect a lot of changes between now and release. (Harada even addressed some feedback and said a lot of changes are coming.)
