The version 1.07 patch for Tekken 8 was released just last week. The developers noted that the intentions behind this latest patch were to stabilize behaviors and fix bugs. They also noted that more “small-scale balance adjustments” are being planned for with the version 1.08 patch.
Regardless, RB|Anakin recently decided to create a tier list for the latest version of Tekken 8. Of course, it’s important to mention that Anakin is simply consulting his Twitch chat to determine character placements for this particular set of rankings.
All 34 characters, including Lidia Sobieska, have been divided up into one of five different tier categories. Fortunately, it would seem that there are more combatants positioned in the upper positions compared to the number of weaker characters.
The strongest characters in the game right now are said to be Dragunov, Nina, Yoshimitsu, Jin, and Alisa. This seems fairly consistent with other tier lists.
Lidia Sobieska, the newest DLC fighter added to Tekken 8, is said to be one of the lower tier fighters. She’s right down there along with Eddy Gordo, though it’s worth mentioning that Eddy was considered to be a serious top tier threat when he was initially released as DLC.
According to this tier list, the five overall weakest characters in Tekken 8 are Leroy Smith, Azucena, Raven, Lars, and Panda. It’s certainly interesting to see that Kuma is now a fairly decent character in Tekken despite being very similar to Panda.
