    Seriously go follow Landon for helping to carry the video - I learned so much doing this. Subscribe if you want to see more collabs with other top Tekken players - I've been enjoying this game SO much, going to be covering this game for a bit. Also should be obvious, but no order within tiers.
  • @Cretlee
    Always remember, don't skip a character just because people say they're hard to play or because they're "a low tier character". Play whoever you think is fun and fits your playstyle!
  • @-8h-
    Easy: Hard: all of them
  • @arguablyokay7824
    "The scary thing about fighting a bear is that you don't want a bear to get close to you." is a really good piece of advice for life in general, honestly.
  • @Neltharak
    ... Somehow landon just being like "hey just do this move this move and this move and you're golden" is a better character guide than 95% of the content on youtube, he should make a series
  • @egebamyasi2929
    Been playing Dragunov and I can FEEL the power. Easy, straightforward and strong. Not even gonna pretend like my brain is working overtime. Mad fun tho.
  • @kurosaki0808
    I picked hworang because i remember button mashing with him on tekken 3 way back when and now i can dress him up as sanji from one piece so it’s even better
  • Never invested time in a fighting game before but this looks really good might actually give it a try.
  • @JemuzuDatsWho
    This was a very good video, and Landon's wise words of "just throw shit out" makes me feel better about starting tbh. May get this game this weekend and give it my best :)
  • @jon630
    I wasn't familiar with Landon before this, but now I'm an instant fan. Dude's energy is infectious, and he seems super knowledgeable. Ended up watching the whole thing. Already followed him on Twitch. Great vid, Dia!
  • @nonsequiter100
    Old school Tekken head here. Shaheen’s charge isn’t the first charge move in Tekken. Law had a down/up charge flip in Tekken 1. Great vid!!
  • @160maverick
    Man, Yoshimitsu is so hard they don't even know you CAN combo out of flash and think most of his moves are "useless" and barely know what he can do
  • @tylermings9276
    So glad I stuck around till the end, really needed that "atleast I have Nun chucks" line lol
  • @TwoyBwoy
    Nina is so cool, but she's definitely hard to understand at first. However, once it's clicks it all becomes easier. I play her very mixup heavy and it works. The Hayashida step is a nice tool as well.
  • @KrsJin
    I planned to fast forward to see the list in the end but then found myself watching the whole thing. Thanks Diaphone and Landon for this!
  • I’ve always played King in arcades bc I thought he looked cool as a kid. Tekken 8 is the first Tekken game I’ve owned and I’m excited to learn all he has in his toolkit.
  • @blob1406
    You rated some characters on their skill ceiling, and some others on their skill floor. List feels weirdly inconsistent.
