Harada is right. For all of Tekken’s proper nouns and systems, Tekken really isn’t very complicated at all. When you’re playing footsies in the middle of an arena, both Rage and unused Heat ready to go, everyone can understand how tense the battle to land that next strike advantage is. And when the camera slows down, showing limbs moments away from entangling and showing who emerged victorious from a final clash, everyone will wince, gasp, and cheer – Tekken 8 is electric.
