“They Took Away My Skill Expression, For WHAT?!” – Rip Explains Tekken 8 Season 2 to James Chen
Tekken legend Rip joins Street Fighter veteran James Chen to break down why the Tekken 8 Season 2 patch has sent the community into full-blown outrage. What was supposed to be a patch focused on defense turned into something far more aggressive — and for many players, unrecognizable.
In this candid, in-depth conversation, they discuss:
Why the patch feels like it removed skill expression
How core mechanics and character identities were fundamentally altered
The disconnect between developer promises and actual changes
Whether reverting the patch is even realistically possible
And how this patch compares to past disasters in fighting game history
