Tekken 8 - How to Choose your Main Character!

Here we are with the Choose a Main video for Tekken 8! We have lots of characters to look at in this newest installment of the franchise and this video is here to give you an understanding of what every character is about so you can figure out which character you want to main! Timestamps are provided for everyone so feel free to skip ahead wherever you want in the video(although be a pal and leave a like!) and other than that, enjoy! Also, apologies in a few sections where game audio is slightly delayed, thats cause my capture card was melting from so many hours of use straight lol

"Leo's gender is violence" Quite possibly the single most concise and accurate description I've ever heard. XD

hey, HELLO AND WELCOME, its the thing! I basically didn't sleep since launch other than 1 little nap but we got the video live now so hope you enjoy it! This is the single longest video I have ever made, and im known for long videos lol. Really wish I coulda brought it to you on launch day but Namco basically stonewalled and ignored me on my countless attempts to reach out to them for an early copy like any reviewer/influencer would get, so the process got delayed. Thankfully for future major fighting game releases every other company is already my friend so that shouldn't be an issue. Anyways enjoy, and friggin hit that like button ok!!!!!!

Of all the ‘choose a main’ videos, this one is absolutely the most impressive and informative one yet. Thank you for all the work you do!

A 3 hour opus just days after the game released…. rooflemonger doing the lord’s work as always

Don't own Tekken, but a Rooflemonger video is not something you can just skip. Your efforts are appreciated man

Like others have said, the effort to put this together so quickly is unreal and very appreciated! This will be my first fighting game besides super smash bros that I plan to dive into and just having a general idea of what each character can do goes a long way for someone like me. Really loving the game so far and can’t wait to learn my first combo or two haha

I always wait for these choose your main vids man. Good for not only picking a main but learning what to expect when fighting them! Thanks for all your hard work, we appreciate it

3 HOURS!!!?? Roofle dropping Killers of the Flower Moon on us. Your dedication is unmatched. Plus all the Jin dissing is always appreciated 😂

really liked your sf6 version of this, i imagine this one will be as good if not better

Not usually one to leave comments but had to shout out the effort involved for this. As a Tekken 2 player coming back for the first time to 8 this information is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

For someone that bought Tekken 7 but never really played it because of the learning curve, this fresh start and overview is much appreciated! Thanks for the effort, Rooflemonger!

You`re easily one of the most hardworking youtubers in the site

Absolutely worth waiting for! As a complete newcomer to Tekken, this video is so incredibly helpful - thank you so much! Rooflemonger, you are a treasure in the FGC community, thank you!

I feel like Alisa is so much more than just chainsaws. She's become my accidental main due to how unpredictable her attacks can be. Between the long pokes, range attacks, head moves (which are amazing), and her ability to activate her chainsaws in a move set (also as a heat engager), I've been able to keep people guessing. And when the chainsaws are out, the pressure can really build. But I'm also just a casual player, so I'm sure there are better characters. Thanks for this informative video!

I am in awe of the dedication required to put this kind of guide together. Seriously impressive work and that’s coming from someone jumping into the genre with this game so like, I barely understand how you event went about learning all the characters this quickly.

Dude.....A high-quality 3 hour vid breaking down all characters. Your work ethic is goated!!

I'm super new to the fighter games scene and I was looking for videos to get a feel for them and the characters. Your videos are absolutely godsend and VERY much appreciated! Thank you for all the amazing work you put in

That was awesome. I did x1.25 it up but rewatched some characters. As an absolute beginner (if we forget everything since tekken4), the time investment was worth it! Still, I couldn't decide yet but I was able to cut down 26 Characters. You my sir have yourself deserved a new subscriber :)
