Much has changed since TheMainManSWE released his Summer 2024 tier list for Tekken 8. For example, Lidia Sobieska and Heihachi Mishima were only recently able to join the Tekken 8 roster.
However, it turns out that Lidia and Heihachi both aren’t incredibly relevant in the Tekken 8 meta right now as they both ranked poorly on TheMainManSWE’s new Fall 2024 tier list. In fact, the other DLC character, Eddie, has continued to be near the bottom since he was nerfed from his top tier status, resulting in all of the DLC being weak so far.
The strongest characters in the game according to TheMainManSWE are Dragunov, Law, Nina, Jin, Yoshimitsu, Alisa, and King. They’ve all been labeled as S+ tier combatants as a result.
Feng, Claudio, Bryan, Reina, Victor, Xiaoyu, Kazuya, and Shaheen are also said to be very strong right now, though not quite to the degree as the aforementioned seven. Regardless, these characters are viable at the highest level.
Panda is said to be the overall weakest character in Tekken 8. However, it’s interesting to note just how significantly Kuma outshines her in his A+ position.
Evidently, the addition of the Electric Wind God Fist has proven to be an incredibly useful tool for Kuma. As such, Panda has been labeled as being “redundant” since her unique attacks don’t compare all that well.
