It’s been more than a couple of weeks since Fergus2k8 released his Tekken 8 tier list. In a recent video upload, Fergus2k8 has released a new tier list for Tekken 8 that ranks each fighter based on how easy or difficult they are to use.
As such, this tier list of Fergus2k8’s arranges all 32 characters very differently compared to how they were placed on the last tier list. There are a few examples of characters that were rated either very highly or poorly on the traditional tier list that ended up closer to the opposite end of this ease-of-use list.
Funnily enough, Azucena, Dragunov, Alisa, and Victor have been labeled as “glue sniffers” in terms of how easy they are to play. Of these characters, Azucena, Alisa, and Dragunov are considered to be quite strong while Victor is traditionally seen to be around mid tier.
Leroy Smith, Jack-8, and Asuka tend to be on the weaker side in terms of their overall viability, but at least they’re easy enough to pick up. Meanwhile, other fighters like Feng, King, and Jun are said to be both fairly easy while also being strong in the current meta.
Nina, Kazuya, Devil Jin, Hwoarang, Steve, Reina, and Ling Xiaoyu are among the hardest to use in Tekken 8. However, characters like Reina, Ling Xiaoyu, and Devil Jin may be worth it in the long run since they’re also said to be viable.
