WTF?! Preventing video games are recognized for his or her emphasis on ways and fast decision-making, however generally button mashing could be frustratingly efficient. One Tekken 8 participant has demonstrated this by programming a bot to press the identical button repeatedly – with stunning outcomes.
Twitch consumer “jimmashima” is presently running what is certainly the strangest Tekken 8 stream by selecting collection mainstay Eddy Gordo and setting a bot to mash (thus the username) a single button. The method would not win each match, however the bot has progressed additional in ranked play than most would have anticipated.
It does nothing however repeatedly press 3, similar to the straightforward left-kick assault. Nonetheless, spamming the button in Tekken 8 would not endlessly repeat the identical kick.

When used with capoeira fighter Eddy Gordo, it produces a surprisingly assorted mixture of low, medium, and excessive strikes that may be deceptively tough for newbies to defend towards. A single opening can result in severe quantities of injury. Consequently, jimmashima’s bot has earned over 12,000 factors and progressed as excessive as Destroyer rank as of publication – the 14th of Tekken 8’s 30 tiers.
It is unclear whether or not the stream is a touch upon Tekken 8, Eddy, or the gamers dropping to the bot. In any case, the steadiness changes the character received from this week’s patch do not seem to have diminished the effectiveness of jimmashima’s technique.
Though Eddy has been a collection common since 1997’s Tekken 3, Tekken 8 did not embrace the character upon its late January launch. As an alternative, he appeared as the primary of 4 deliberate DLC characters early final month for $8. Subsequent up is Karate fighter Lidia Sobieska, arriving this summer season.
Two extra unnamed characters will appear within the Fall and Winter. Knowledge mining suggests they might be Vale Tudo consumer Craig Marduk and Muay Thai boxer Fahkumram. One other spherical of characters will arrive with Season 2 subsequent yr, however info on their identities is scant. Likelihood is good that they could embrace Anna Williams and Armor King II.
For these wishing to view high-level play between human opponents, the Tekken World Tour just lately completed its first main occasion – Evo Japan. A number of extra are deliberate all year long, together with the US Evo match from July 19 to July 21.
