What is WhichMain?

WhichMain is a Fighter recommendation tool I built to help players discover Fighters that match how they like to play in Tekken 8.

Recommendations are based on playstyle traits, roles, and gameplay patterns.

You can explore recommendations by browsing Fighters you enjoy, selecting gameplay tags, or comparing shared traits across the roster.

Acrobatic Rushdown Aerial Aerial Rushdown All-Rounder Boxer Capoeira Mix-Up Defensive Counter-Puncher Evasive Mix-Up Footsies Poker Grappler Hard-Hitting Bruiser Karate Stances Keepout Footsies Long-Range Muay Thai Mishima Mishima Rushdown Oppressive Rushdown Powerhouse Rushdown Stance Rushdown Technical Technical Rushdown Tricky Ninja Unorthodox Stances Unorthodox Trickster Whiff-Punish Menace

Who Built This

I'm a solo developer and long-time player of competitive games. I built this tool to answer a question I kept running into across multiple games: "which fighter plays like the one I already enjoy?"

The tag profiles are built from direct play experience across each roster, not patch notes or scraped data. Tagging is done manually and updated as rosters change.

If a recommendation seems off or a tag description looks wrong, the contact page is the fastest way to flag it.
