Tekken 8 players are still going in hard a month after the game first released and the competitive scene is kicking into gear with larger and larger tournaments.
Longtime pro and Tekken World Tour finalist CRZ|Super Akouma just released his first tier list for Tekken 8 after reaching God of Destruction rank online.
Starting out with JACK-8, Super Akouma says he thought the big machine would be better and does have some good and simple tools to use, which earns him a spot in B tier.
Although many people are ranking him pretty strongly, the top French competitor doesn’t believe Jin is top 5 or even S tier currently in T8 though Devil Jin is much closer to that.
There’s one character in particular, however, who Super Akouma feels is better than everyone else right now in the game, and that’s Dragunov.
He laughs that nothing Dragunov does is okay with his ridiculous damage, great frame data, reach, pokes and combos for days.
Akuma may be gone, but his new main Lee ends up around the middle of A+ tier
Characters like Leroy and Reina are still a bit hard to say for him, but Super Akouma ends up putting them in B and A+ tiers respectively though he says he could bump her up after more experience.
You can check out Super Akouma’s full first tier list for Tekken 8 below that’s said to be mostly ordered, and those who want the full breakdown and explanation can take a look at his Twitch archive where he put it all together.
