Split the finals of the ETB Core 5k. Played 0 games of the format and sleeved up @Ace103HS list; the deck destroyed everything. I think gogo isn’t needed and Della’s isn’t as needed as before Mickey but deck was great. I have intentionally taken a stand against playing this deck as I don’t enjoy it and think it is very linear aside from long chromicon games, but it has reached a point of you are just actively behind if you are not playing the dogs.
I'm so sad about this.
The Tekken series has a long history, but Tekken 8 is only its second title built for the new generation of consoles and PC. Back in Season 1, I saw it as just a flashy start — I believed even better things were still to come, and I really hoped they would.
And honestly, once you look past battle balance, Tekken 8 is an incredibly well-made game. Every humanoid character can share the same customization items using only two skeletal meshes — a level of technical craft I'd never seen in any other next-gen UE game. (I could go on about this for far too long. :P)
Like a lot of people, I had my gripes about the battle balance. But setting that aside, I really do think Tekken 8 is brilliantly built. And heading into 2026, it finally felt like the mood around balance was turning around.
And yet, all I keep hearing is bad news from inside Bandai Namco.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
