Nice, Bringing Aris in on the first T8 one is great. Good to see you all together.

The classic combos in Rickstah's background are so sick

Hell yeah

Its crazy how differently Aris seems to look at these games than like the general (mostly casual/intermediate) player base. He like really knows the mechanics of the game and the history of the game but also understands what makes competitive games actually competitive and interesting.

I didn't even know Aris' camera still had the ability to not be green at this point LOL

"There are guys that steal my f-ing content and put huge compilations on youtube, and they don't know that they're going to hell but they'll find out." -Aris

It's crazy how often Aris has had a smart outlook on each topic.

My favorite top 15 FGC podcast

Happy to see aris return to the show! Also the throw system changes, added lag on whiff, and environmental damage are all from Aris's favorite series DOA. The DOA director worked on Tekken 8 :-)

So happy to see Aris, I hope he will returns to commentating the game at tournaments

Always a pleasure with ths crew. Especially Aris. #goat 🐐

Seeing fixed cam Aris means it's a special episode.

The video they're talking about from 9:27 is "Tekken 8's Input Buffer is NOT Broken" by Gelatin.

I have to admit, i appreciate those replay channels. Any time, anywhere, i can watch a top player play my character and learn stuff. I dont have to boot up the game and search replays in tekken fighter network or whatever.

Big nostalgia seeing all four of these guys together on a pod

Relieved to hear you say Rage Arts are too strong. Being forced to not press buttons at the end of the round in this game feels so silly.

I miss those long form character guides this squad used to put out. Are yall planning on putting something out like that this go-around?

This was so fun! I enjoyed each and every second :D

aris on a podcast again is crazy

Yoo throwback squad! So happy tekken is thriving

Awesome watch, thanks guys!

I'm only here because I saw a green dwarf on thumbnail, thanks for inviting him :)

Lord Aris returning to the podcast is tight. 🧔🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the content

When the topic of Azucena came up I was hoping for a discussion on the T8 newcomers. But I suppose like the balancing and other new system changes it's still fairly soon to tell. But other than that, great Boomcast as always! And having Aris is always fun!

Great pod, guys

I had my steam friends list hidden on T8 UNTIL I changed my steam friends list privacy settings. Then my steam friends showed up on T8

Surprisingly with ADHD listened to the whole thing. Y'all are great for putting this out

Hell yeah love that Aris is back I hope he becomes a regular for commentating in the future.

Gotta love Aris man. Great Episode thanks guys. :)

Dude @10:20 I’ve noticed this, I never been launched punished from whiffing a jab as much as I have in T8. It’s crazy. It used to be something you had to thread the needle with electrics only, now so many characters can easily launch a whiffed jab

Always good to have aris

this is the first time I've seen Aris talk with another human

Rage arts not being launch punishable by every character is pretty dumb, they need to be like -50 on block. When a move ONLY loses to block it should actually lose to block.

I think the wall break situation is becasue after you break the wall the character is still in that same stun as a wall splat so the game allows for wall throws still

Regarding the recovery frames Aris was talking about, that video also showed that lots of moves now have more recovery on block and hit. It’s not just whiffing. I thought the extra whiff recovery was noticeable but the recovery frames on block/hit was driving me mad. Explains why inputs seem to get eaten a lot; the buffer window has moved because the moves have new recovery timings.

Oh i'm excited for this one

Regarding replays / ghosts / and all that stuff. I think it's vital to have the possibility to download famous players' ghosts and make them compete in an offline theatre mode. You know, Mechagodzilla vs Kong. Arslan vs Knee. Mainman vs Aris :o) If that's not an option right now, it totally should be.

Good to see Aris. Wait you can break counter hit throws???

I think that different chars have different (sort of) OP things have made the game so that chars feel unique and you are looking out for something special in each char. I like that feeling. Even things like 12's are different for chars and new animations for df2's etc. Chars feel different and in T7 it was the same for everyone 12 df1 and m4 etc. They are pushing chars as different systems with different strengths and made a great job.

awesome!!!!

This shit takes me back man. Good shit

I missed these and this panel so much. Good shit yall keep em coming! And leave king alone! He's for the children

1:11:11 with age comes wisdom. You go, Aris!

Awesome 😊🎉

Can't believe I'm listening to one of the top 15 FGC podcasts!

+1 on the netcode situation.

Hey alright!

Damn i was just wondering when the first t8 boomcast was coming.

I find that keeping everyone's matches public and not private is one of the perfect ways for everyone to be forced to get better at the game.

nice video good energy

lmao, i didnt expect to laugh so hard, for so long. Aris caught me off guard! 1:05:00

Rickstah with the Tekkenzai combo videos - awesome to see. Good memories. I wonder what happened to Castel.

Boom!💥

Top 15 FGC podcast baby, Let’s Goooo!!

SF4 had the replay recording "issue". it is also part of how Smug was found, etc. so idk, i guess giving them the option to make private would be the best option.

I ONLY played Paul in T7 and have played T8 Paul for about 80 hours so far, and I've noticed a weird delay. Let's say you start off the round immediately inputting deathfist... in T7 you can input deathfist and get the move to come out instantly if you have the timing down. In T8, I input it with the same speed and timing and will get a fwd 2. Either T7 was more lenient to buffering inputs, or T8 made it extremely strict. There's other instances with other moves but this was the most straight-forward example.

You should keep the social media tags underneath everyone’s video. It is better for promotion and good for new viewers to lookup you and the special guests.

Great Vid

Good times

55:47 Speaking on this , for Jin did anyone find out if a secret input for to do the story mode rage art in normal gameplay exists? That RA seems kinda useful because his normal one side switches (I think haven't got 8 yet) and that story mode one didn't.

unfortunate that you guys didn't talk about the potential characters coming back to tekken 8 thanks for the upload and podcast in number 15

The ghost is pretty awesome at practicing defense if you use it in that way. It's dumb to try to simply just beat it because it lacks defensive capabilities but for learning a character's cheap stuff, just download any red or purple ghost and practice defense.

theres so much stuff about t8 system that no one is talking about. like if you armor and eat a hit your armor move gets to be safe on block. and some armor moves like king's b3 are really good, because you get a tornado in a jumping opponent, which is awesome agaisnt slash kicks, azucenas wr move and lee's and so on also when you are in heat mode, all air juggle damage is recoverable health, instead of the 50%

S-tier cast for this podcast ... Long live bgc !!

Glad I'm not alone in thinking it's lame there are no tournaments for so long. Can't wait to see what the best players are doing with the new game. Also, about game design I wanted to say that a good game is inherently exclusionary. Def better to stick to your guns rather than trying to appease everyone. Make things for the people who want them, not for some assumed casual person you imagine is going to magically develop interest.

thanks Iris Thanks Iris.

My cheese tech for the new mechanics is heat engager into 10 hit string to chip the hell out of them. With Raven in particular, his 10 string ends with an unblockable so it’s effective.

They don't know how good Kuma's heat smash is. 13f 51dmg +10 on block.

Dragonovs running 4 is intentional. The move in the move list describes the move activated under wall splat enemy conditions

People who want more defensive options are huffing some good stuff. You've got Sidestep, sidewalk, backdash, rolldash, sway, backswing blows, parries/etc, power crush, high crush, low crush, crouch, making yourself grounded to kill time, stance-based evasion/parries, and I'm sure others I'm missing. I get that its a lil more Bunga but there's still a shit tonne of options

I love ghost battle tbh, i know its only fraction of its real people habit but its alot better than regular CPU. In rare chance i learn something then great, but if not its a really great place to warm up with no stake before playing Online

I see Aris' point about everyone having access to heat smash making it hard to complain about the power level but there's a couple things I think are wrong about his perspective First of all it assumes all heat smashes are equal which they absolutely are not. Some startup faster than others, have way more range than others, are safer or more plus on block, give mixups on block and what they give on hit is different too so while every character has a heat smash some characters have way, way stronger feeling heat smashes than others Second of all I think that just because I too have the ability to press a single button and bust out a super high priority, plus on block, high damage mid doesn't make defending against a heat smash feel any better. I still feel awful when my opponent just mashes one button that at worst blows through my offense and kills me or at best I block and now I'm minus and I don't feel good when I mash that button and steal the round. I don't think any character should have one button access to all the strengths of heat smash I also think it disregards that the threat of heatsmash completely changes how you defend against some characters and some characters are infinitely more scary to defend against because of the threat heatsmash represents. Kazuya in heat is an absolute menace because he loses his weakness to SSL. You have to commit to a hard read duck against Kazuya to not eat his heat smash and in that matchup a bad duck is death and I don't know if I feel like Kazuya should have access to his normal mixup being that potent suddenly. And what do you get for your troubles of risking your life to block his heat smash? An i14 punish

hey alright

❤

I'm curious what that Jack looked like

When I heard BoxBox was playing, I watched all that content with PhiDX, I thought it was great. I wasn't curious until I heard Scarra was also playing. I just assumed this was the best time to get into fighting games in preparation for 2XKO or whatever Project L is being called.

59:51 What did the Jack player dress up as ? Audio cut out.

I love Aris

I wish they kept rage drive and got rid of Rage Arts instead. I'd also rather have that than the extreme damage buff you used to get in t6/tt2

Bring on the Rage Art timer

1:01:12 I def remember seein' this tweet lmao

Cool

Green light, green light!!

Proper seeding is not cheating, it assures the best tournament. I don't only care about who wins, I care about seeing the best matches.

KFCCCCC, maaan. such a great guy :)

Bagoosh

how many years has it been since the last aris appearance

Boom! What’s up, internet?

How to enable Streamer Mode like Tekken 7 in Tekken 8? I can't find the options on PC/Steam

It's nice to see senior citizens getting air time, grandpa Arnis is a pillar of the community 😊

There’s a regional in Texas. Texas showdown

Hehehe...thank you 1:11:05 1:40:31

At 1:36:26 they talk about some tournament having 9 days long finals. Anyone know to what specfically they are referring?

In Tekken 8, chicken mechanic got COOKED.

how long do we play it for

Yall absolutely didnt even get the CPT seeding issue. It has nothing to do with the random group seeding and everything to do with how the Pro Tour itself was set up. They had a set number of participants for each region able to quality meaning that relatively "no name" players were able to make it into Capcom Cup. The issue isnt that a bunch of Killers could end up in one group like Group F but that there are some groups like Group G filled with players no one has ever heard of and who may or may not be near the level of players who didnt make it into Capcom Cup because of how the Pro Tour was handled. Now, some no name could come out and surprise everyone, but its still a problem that strong regions like Japan only had 2 representatives just because the Pro Tour only allowed that many.

Hey, alright.

If Tekken has hidden Dynamic Difficulty adjustments in game. We’re screwed. FIFA has been doing this for years to keep players thinking they have control of the game. I hope these frames aren’t adjustable in real time

loving Aris' crunchy ass webcam Lol
