It’s been over a month since Tekken 8 was released. As such, it would appear that TheMainManSWE is now ready to release his first tier list for the latest entry in the Tekken series.
Within TheMainManSWE’s tier list, all 32 characters have been divided up into one of four tier categories — S tier, A+ tier, A tier, and B tier. The S tier group is essentially a representation of the top 8 characters in Tekken 8 right now.
Dragunov, Ling Xiaoyu, Feng, King, Jun Kazama, and three others have been positioned in the S tier group. Thus far, it would appear that TheMainManSWE’s thoughts on who the strongest characters in Tekken 8 aligns with top player opinions.
The A+ category contains characters like Reina, Alisa, Lars, Shaheen, Lili, Victor, Bryan, and more. Of all the tier categories of TheMainManSWE’s tier list, the A+ tier has the most characters in it.
Asuka, Kuma, Leroy, and Panda have been placed in B tier. Being that this is the lowest portion of the tier list, this indicates that these four combatants will struggle the most in competitive formats.
TheMainManSWE released a video that spans for nearly two and a half hours long in which he explains, in detail, why he placed each fighter on the tier list the way that he did. Check it all out below:
