Tekken 8 Secondary and Counterpick: Common Questions
What is a secondary in Tekken 8?
A secondary is a second fighter you keep for the matchups your main loses, so a bad draft does not force you onto a fight you cannot win.
How do you find a good pocket pick?
We read the matchup pressure your main is tagged as struggling against, then rank the roster by the counterplay traits that answer it. You get at most three picks, because a pocket you never practice is not a pocket.
Why not use community matchup charts?
Community charts move with every patch and every argument. This tool works from stable character traits and counterplay interactions instead, which stay true across patches. It does not claim to replace current-patch matchup data.
