To be a fighting game fan at this very moment in time is to be in a constant state of joy. Genre heavyweights such as Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, The King of Fighters, and Guilty Gear have released brand-new entries while a slew of lesser-known but equally great anime fighters & indie-made brawlers are coming out in droves. Thanks to the implementation of rollback netcode, older fighters & newer ones are helping their online communities enjoy all the fast and furious back-and-forth action with as little lag as possible. This modern-day fighting game renaissance is only getting better thanks to another legacy franchise that has now reached its eighth mainline series entry. As someone who has been addicted to Tekken since getting the second game for Christmas alongside a brand-spanking new PS1, I'm happy to say that it's the best series installment to date. Get ready for my Tekken 8 review.
