TL;DR Creating a tier list for Tekken 8 characters involves subjective assessments of skill floor and ceiling, with varying opinions on character difficulty and effectiveness.
Skill Floor vs. Skill Ceiling
In the realm of fighting games like Tekken, understanding both the skill floor (how easy it is to start playing a character effectively) and the skill ceiling (the potential mastery level of a character) is crucial. Some players have created separate tier lists for these two aspects [1:2],
[1:3]. Characters like Nina are noted for having a high skill ceiling due to complex techniques like the butterflies and Hayashida step
[1:4].
Subjectivity in Tier Lists
Tier lists often reflect personal biases and experiences. Many players only have deep knowledge of a few characters, leading to skewed perceptions when ranking others [1:1]. This can result in disagreements about where characters should be placed, as seen with differing opinions on characters like Fahkumram
[1:6].
Criteria for Ranking
The criteria for ranking characters can vary widely, including factors like ease of play, effectiveness in competitive settings, execution difficulty, and game plan complexity [1:5]. It's important to clarify what specific aspect the tier list is addressing to avoid confusion and misinterpretation.
Community Engagement
Engaging the community in creating tier lists can provide a broader perspective, but it also introduces variability based on individual player experiences and preferences [1:7]. Online platforms allow for collective voting and discussion, which can help refine tier lists over time.
Recommendations Beyond Discussions
For those looking to create or understand Tekken 8 tier lists, it's advisable to consider multiple sources and perspectives. Watching professional matches, engaging with community discussions, and experimenting with different characters yourself can provide a more comprehensive view of the game's character dynamics.

I often see people disagreeing on various difficulty tier lists, so I decided to make one where all of you can vote!
After a week, I'll post the result if I remember to.
Edit: go vote in this one instead. It has two live tier lists, one for skill floor and one for skill ceiling: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/s/Ax8RCWF5kv
Difficulty in what ? Difficulty to play ? If so at what level ? Difficulty to rank up ? Difficulty in gameplan ? Execution ?
To play, but I realized that it'd be better to have both a skill floor tier list and a skill ceiling tier list, which I posted here.
This post really should say to play and also entry level piloting is much different than skill ceiling piloting. Nina at max ceiling piloting and you're doing butterflies and hayashida step, which is by far the highest ceiling after Kazuya.
I know. I've made another one with skill floor and skill ceiling instead. https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/s/Ax8RCWF5kv
Some of yall tweakin with these results. Fahkumram in anything above very easy? Holy shit
Everyone gonna get put in easy lol
Very possible lol
Vast majority of Tekken players only use 2-3 characters enough to have a comprehensive understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, and difficulty. This tier list is just going to devolve into everyone putting their own character in the harder tiers as a form of downplaying, while making uninformed decisions about everyone else; likely just sticking them in easy/average tiers.
Togashi is amazing. Look at Morena for example. We know she's one of the baddies, sure, but antagonist? To whom exactly? Kurapika may be aware of the hei-ly's existence so he may see her as an antagonist due to being an ally to the 4th prince, unaware that she has turned against him. To Nasubi? Yeah but fuck Nasubi lol. Only thing close to a protagonist right now that she stands against is Nobunaga's trio but their main objective is Hisoka, hunting down the hei-ly is more of an annoying obligatory quest for them.
The intricate network of objectives and relationships aboard the ship is unlike anything I've ever seen
>but antagonist? To whom exactly?
the spider trio, we are following their footsteps, so she's the antagonist of that story, for now
not to mention that her goal is a threat every single character in the show
Come on she only wants to commit Omnicide. No way she is an antagonist
(This is a joke btw)
I mean someone who wants to commit omnicide is sort of an antagonist.
What's your criteria? Just overall?
I would switch Morena for Pariston.
I think it's FAR too early to put Morena in TOP 5 antagonists.
Time might prove you right… but it also might prove you wrong.
Now I don't doubt Togashi as a writer. But it's entirely possible that Morena ends up as a disappointing antagonist (or just has a less significant role than we all initially predicted).
(Heck, for similar reasons it may be too early to place Paristan that low. He could end up blowing his already stellar performance in The Chairman Election Arc right out of the water!)
I believe Morena will pay off so I took a gamble and put her there 🙂
(99.99% of gamblers quit before they hit jackpot)
lol
I almost thought this was powerscaling. Looks great.
Thank you!
After sending my tier list and getting verbally abused (joking ofc) I thought it would be fun to ask everyday on where you would put a character from this game in a tier list. There is S, A, B, C, D, and F for the tiers and the difficulty is maddening. This will also be including dlc. In the end I'll show the final product of the tier list when we finish, plus emblems.
My opinion: alright this one is kinda hard in my opinion on where to put him. On one hand he's pretty good and there's not many bad reasons to use him tbh. Good growth levels, synergy with emblems, good advanced class (I think) and more. But there's a problems with him too. For example there's really, very little reason to use him when Kagetsu exists. Not just that but unless you really put investment in him a lot, he really struggles to keep up with others a feel like? Even with good levels too. That being said I'm going with B tier. He's really not all that much better then Lapis after all who's in C tier and def not better than anyone in A tier (other than one that I will not be stating)
Citrinne got fucking robbed, why is she not in S tier smh.
Diamant is in C, hes a better Lapis.
Citrinne really needs Dire Thunder or some sort of extra speed to be busted, if not for that, she’d be top of s
I mean this list takes into account DLC she can get Veronica lol
If it makes you feel better it was pretty close
C tier for reasons already stated. I think its funny they gave him such a horrendous dexterity cap.
Probably C, I think.
I compared him to Boucheron in an earlier thread, and I still think he's probably the best point of comparison, but Lapis is also good to throw in there, so let's see how they stack up in Diamant's joining chapter. By this point, the player will have two master seals, and it's likely one will have already been used, since there are better choices for a first promotion than any of these three, so I'm going to assume Alcryst wasn't promoted last chapter and one is still available. I'll assume all three units being compared are IL 11, since that's Diamant's starting level.
Their stats are as follows:
Diamant: HP 32/STR 13/MAG 3/DEX 13/SPD 13/DEF 10/RES 6/LUCK 10/BUILD 9
Boucheron: HP 37/STR 13/MAG 0/DEX 12/SPD 11/DEF 9/RES 4/LUCK 6/BUILD 10
Lapis: HP 27/STR 11/MAG 2/DEX 12/SPD 15/DEF 7/RES 6/LUCK 7/BUILD 5
None of them are anything incredible yet, but Diamant and Lapis having at least 12 speed means they aren't getting doubled by the 16 speed sword flyer (the other fliers are weighed down so they're not doubling anything and Lapis actually doubles the axe fliers), so Boucheron is slightly worse than the other two in this case, though only slightly.
Now let's look at what their promoted stats look like. In a normal playthrough, it's likely the player will have already promoted Boucheron if they planned on using him in the long term, but this arguably doesn't matter, and you'll see why in a moment.
Diamant 11 Lord/1 Successeur: HP 34/STR 15/MAG 4/DEX 14/SPD 14/DEF 11/RES 6/LUCK 11/BUILD 10
Boucheron 11 Axe Fighter/Warrior: HP 38/STR 16/MAG 1 (RADIANT BOW REAL!?!?)/DEX 14/SPD 13/DEF 10/RES 6/LUCK 7/BUILD 11
Lapis Sword Fighter 11/Swordmaster 1: HP 28/STR 12/MAG 3/DEX 14/SPD 18/DEF 8/RES 7/LUCK 9/BUILD 6
Diamant and Boucheron are nearly identical, and Boucheron has 13 speed now, so no more getting doubled by that one flyer. The problem, however, is that neither of them actually are able to double anything except the armors. Both of them and Lapis can easily ORKO them using effective weapons, but Boucheron can also OHKO the 10 speed mages with an unforged steel axe, and Diamant, notably, falls one point short of doing the same. 14 speed is also one point short of doubling them, so even after promotion, Diamant's performance on this map is a little suspect. Boucheron can also use a steel bow and delete a flier if you want to, whereas Diamant doesn't have that option.
The only other things to worry about on the map are Zelkov, who doubles Boucheron before promotion, the random 20 speed Swordmaster, who doubles both of the boys, and Ivy, who doubles no one (even before promotion) and is doubled in return by promoted Lapis.
Lapis is handily winning after promotion, and I'd argue she's definitely the best choice to promote out of the three. Diamant is pretty clearly doing the worst of the three after promotion, in part because while his growths are good, his bases and Successeur's promotion bonuses are somewhat limp.
Now, obviously, this only gives a snapshot of a single chapter, but it's illustrative of their comparative performance over the course of a playthrough. Lapis can obviously do very well as a flyer, and even Boucheron can put some pretty impressive numbers out doing the same, but none of them are showstoppers right out of the gate. The boys require a similar amount of effort to make them good, and you get similar results, whereas Lapis with one level and a promotion handily outperforms both of them. One of your two master seals isn't a trivial investment at that point, but I feel confident in saying that you're getting more bang for your buck with Lapis.
In closing, I think Diamant is a C-tier unit, because I think Boucheron is also C-tier unit and is directly comparable to him, if not slightly better. After looking at how much better she is right out the gate, Lapis probably should have been in B tier, but eh, what can you do.
EDIT: I forgot the doubling threshold in Engage is 5 or more speed instead of 4 or more, which actually makes a pretty significant difference for Diamant, specifically. Diamant doesn't double the mages I thought he did, promoting Boucheron makes him no longer get doubled by Zelkov (for all that matters), and Lapis...still doubles everything she did before.
In light of that, Lapis is winning even more than before, and Diamant is losing very slightly more. Not a huge difference as far as Diamant is concerned, but I think I accidentally convinced myself that Lapis should be a tier ahead of them, or at the very least much higher in the same tier.
I would like to chime in that while I do not disagree with your assessment entirely, Diamant has better hit rate (typically) with better hit boosting stats and especially when his personal activates compared to Boucheron, who is a bit infamous for having accuracy issues. But yeah, most of the nobles suffer from they are kind of second seal heavy if their promotion class isn’t ideal, which in all cases but the flying sisters and Fogado, aren’t.
That's also true, yeah. Swords are more accurate than axes, so even with equivalent dex stats, Diamant is going to have better hit rates.
On a vacuum they're similar, but I'd say Boucheron is superior.
That is assuming you are promoting neither.
On promotion, Diamant's personal class doesn't do much for him. Even with his personal skill, his hit rate is so poor he doesn't do well with axes. Then you have sol which is... yeah. Basically these two mfs are on equal ground.
Diamant's personal... is not that good either? It (theorically) fixes his skill issues, but it also makes sure that the opponent is always hitting you. Boucheron's personal in the other hand is great. Basically +2 dmg for free (which is final damage, so it doesn't get diluted by skills such as break defenses).
So yeah, I'm giving the upper hand to Boucheron on this one
C-tier
He’s an all-around decent unit. Successeur is basically a Hero sidegrade. He has decent Str and Spd, but he has good Bld. Successeur using A-Axes but having an option to use S-rank swords with Engage attacks is kinda nice. He is best paired with either Emblem Roy or Marth, as he really appreciates the extra Str and Spd. He also has decent bulk. Everything about him is “okay”.
His low Dex cap isn’t an issue. Just assume Sol isn’t going to trigger, and engrave his weapons. It’s fine. He has fine hit rates. Fair Fight is also a good personal skill in helping his hit rates too.
He is just a decent unit.
Absolute mid
C
Pocahontas at C is criminal
Aside from her design and introduction scene, not much about her stands out
why do you not like taran and oliver?
You seriously put Cinderella and Snow White together with Aurora!?
Yeah. Why?
I'm sorry but Cinderella is a much better protagonist than the one who only has 18 minutes of screen time, she already has much more personality and emotions.
And you should add points to Snow White for being the first and also because she showed a lot of sympathy during the movie, making her more charismatic.
My boy Quasi at the top of S tier, where he belongs.
Taran not only F tier, but also the only one in F tier? Going to need an explanation for that. He’s definitely not hero quality, but he’s not so bad he deserved that. Ouch.
Exactly my thought. Taran was pretty decent, considering he was just a farmer boy and had no idea of what the real world was, he did a pretty good job on his first ever quest.
Pooh Bear is S tier. How dare you.
I enjoy Pooh Bear’s antics, but if I had to deal with it I’d find him annoying as shit
>but if I had to deal with it I’d find him annoying as shit
You have Stitch and the Emperor on S tier
How you gonna do my boy Dumbo like that. Abused by both the circus and this tier list.
Sympathy doesn't necessarily equal a great character
What a crap list. Pocahontas is absolutely S tier. Get some taste.
I like Milo on S tier but why you dislike Pocahontas, Lady/Tramp?
I don't dislike Pocahontas. I think she's okay. I just didn't really jive with Lady and Tramp's characters and chemistry outside of the spaghetti scene
This sub is all about ego.
Kinda surprised pimp Kisame ain't on this tier list.
Because he’s not a meme, he’s the truth.

Every day I fall lower 😭
Fused Kisame 🦈🐧🐟

Lili in Dragunov gear?
No Dragunov gear for Lili. Just the "Blazer" in the upper body, the "Pleated Skirt A" for lower body, and "Nina's High Boots" for her shoes. All are vanilla items.
That Snake is unbelievably ripped
You're pretty good
I would say the First Sun God from the First World deserves a place in God tier to.
not sure if Earth God is symbolic or representative of the first Sun God enemy...
So I can't include his enemy in God tier until it gets more clear.
Imu is likely the Forest God in the second world ("who tamed demons") which managed to kill Joy Boy somehow.
Luffy is most likely the Sun God of the third world.
------------
So 3 Sun Gods (1 per world) + the enemies of each Sun God (the Earth God whoever that was. Imu i mn the second.. and either Imu again or/and Black Beard in the third)
--------
To be clear:
- I vote for including The first Sun God in God tier
So you wanna push everything back? If this gets most upvotes then I could do that.
I would probably place him as the last of God tiers as we don't known exactly who won the war in the first world for now.
We only know Death and darkness spread across the world after that war (supposedly)
isnt the first world mythical?
The 3 world's in the murals seem to talk about history (from past to the future) with a bit of poetic touch which makes it a bit harder to distinguish some things.
The era of the first world itself shouldn't be purely fictional.
From the reading about the first world/Era, it seems like:
a group of people likely getting access to something like the Original Mother Flame
they most likely had slave labor -> which lead to the first Sun God being born out of peoples whishes
we don't know how the war went -> but likely that lead to the creation of the Red Line (the Red serpent)
This might imply the Lunarians might have been the group that had acess to that forbidden Sun. As we know they lived on top of the Red Line before the Celestial Dragons. (Which came after winning the war in the second world).
Which might explain why they always on fire that doesn't stop to.
how is blackbeard above imu
i doubt luffy is gonna be above imu either, they're gonna jump imu probably
this list sucks already
W, Imu will remain the strongest at end of series like Kaguya and Yhwach

A tier list of combo magic is nice but also artifacts, characters and subjects if possible, Last time I played the game frost nova didn't have an animation besides appearing on the ground for reference
There's one in the discord server, pretty sure you can just Google "Magic Survival discord server" then join.
Thanks
I wouldn't call Starfire a C Tier character given how much media she has and now getting her own show and still on TTG and had her own arc.
C on the cusp of B. Her appearances in things beyond the comics have been mostly "niche", and as part of a team, not carrying her own performance. IF her new stand-alone show works out (and I hope it does!) she'll move to B status.
I mean TTG true most kids are watching that so not fully mainstream
B, you could argue her content isnt enough to be B, but based on popularity i would say she is
SS Ultra Rare!!
…… my opinion is extremely biased, by the way. She’s my second favorite DC heroine.
