Tekken 8 & Mortal Kombat 1 Reviewed on PC

evils and Demons, or iconic ninja’s with wicked abilities. 3D arena fighters, or traditional left to right combat. Skill and practice or special abilities and fatalities - Tekken or Mortal Kombat?

Tekken 8 has recently released, and if you’ve seen my video then you already know my thoughts on how good the game is, and where it had some great moments over the latest entry in the mortal kombat franchise with MK1.

However, some of you might be asking - what game should i played first? What game has a better story? What game is safe for me to play infront of my kids… well thats an easy question - BUT most importantly - which one is Better? Mortal Kombat 1 or Tekken 8 - Both Brilliant games in their own right with their own fanbase, community, action figures and more - but which one is a better game?

So i thought, why not do another video like my Dead Space vs Resident Evil 4 video and compare Tekken 8 to MK1, where i’ll break down what has better story, combat, sound, graphics, characters, and maybe most importantly, shelf life.

    Fatalities are not part of the combat or gameplay, it's a cutscene that you watch over and over again, after the fight been alread decide. Tekken is thousand times more in deep in his gameplay than MK1

    In 1991, Street Fighter II became a phenomenon! In 1992, Mortal Kombat became a phenomenon! 1996, Tekken 2 made you put Street Fighter down and made you forget about Mortal Kombat. 1998, Tekken 3 made you forget about 2D fighting games all together.

    Tekken has the players learn the moves which is hard but way more rewarding

    Tekken 8 blows MK1 out of the water. Not even looking at the stories, there's just more to do in Tekken. MK1's biggest flaw is how terribly barebones it is. There's next to nothing to do or work towards after you complete the story except online, and even the online is as barren as it gets (there aren't even lobbies like there have been in every modern MK game since MK9). Invasions is a grindfest that quickly gets repetitive (along with just downright frustrating modifiers at times) and towers aren't worth the effort because the rewards are so subpar. The monetization is also subpar at best with skins being so scarce and not all of them being good (and buying fatalities, lol). Tekken in contrast has the main story, Character episodes, the fight lounge, arcade quest, arcade battle, Tekken Ball, the jukebox, etc. Customization is not even worth discussing, Tekken has had the best customization in fighting games for a while. There's just so much more that went into Tekken 8.

    MK is a kiddie pool, SF is the in-ground pool next to it, Tekken is the ocean.
  • @yeetskeet3
    Tekken vs SF6 would be more fair cause Both smack mk left and right
  • @tairyu2574
    Tekken 8 for speed, mobility, and flexibility.
  • @maxwellstevens6366
    It’s Tekken quite obvious, Mortal Kombat has started to look more and more like a superhero game rather than a martial arts one, Tekken is simply more realistic in terms of the fighting, it feels, plays, and looks more real.

    As a MK1 player who recently bought Tekken 8…I haven’t played MK1 since.

    Since no one has said it yet. GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE 🎤

    Tekken 8 is so far the best Tekken game since Tekken 5. Would love to see more features added in the future, like Tekken Tag arcade mode and adding tekken bowling. I also like to see Bandi/Namco release and remaster classic Tekken games like 1,2,3,4,5,6, and classic Tekken Tag Tournament games since their celebrating 30th anniversary of the series.

    MK 1 is slow and stiff and the combos feel really repetitive. Tekken 8 is fast but calculated and also fluid. The combos have a rhythm and the audio and visuals have an impact you can feel. Tekken 8 FEELS like you’re ACTUALLY fighting, not just pressing a string inputs. Tekken 8 combos are also more rewarding. In addition to the combat, Tekken 8 has an entertaining story, FREE skins and customizables. It’s just a better game overall even for your wallet.

    A couple notes about Tekken 8 story/characters/content that you may have missed: The game does offer a quick synopsis of the whole story in the game when you boot it up, and all characters have their own "character episodes" with a full CG ending that provides some info on what's going on with them (although quite a few are non-canon and for comic relief). There's Tekken Ball too for some deceptively entertaining casual fun.

    After spending plenty of time on SF6 when MK1 came out, the mk1 characters felt stiff and movements seemed robot-like.. Playing Tekken 8 now..what a game!
  • @TevyaSmolka
    Tekken 8 was really awesome and badass in my opinion.
  • @bonaelzee
    You don’t have to have previously played Tekken to know the story in 8. Theirs an option to watch catch up stories from 1-7 within the game
