Twitch streamer Jimmashima has recently gained attention within the Tekken community for the creation of a unique bot in Tekken 8, which he shared on r/Tekken Subreddit last Saturday. This bot, developed to automate Eddy’s gameplay, has ignited a blend of amusement, frustration, and controversy among players.
The bot's functionality is simple yet effective: it incessantly inputs the command for a left-leg attack by spamming the "3" button on a joystick. For the controller users this corresponds to the "X" and "A" buttons for the PlayStation and Xbox controller respectively. As described by viewers, the bot exhibits remarkable consistency in executing this singular move, eschewing complex maneuvers such as rage arts or grabs. Despite its seemingly rudimentary strategy, the bot has managed to ascend through the ranks of Tekken's competitive ladder.
Jimmashima's Twitch channel, which is broadcasting live Tekken gameplay at the time of writing, has become a hub for observing the bot in action. Viewers have marveled at its progression in rank, with reports of the bot reaching as high as the Destroyer tier solely through its relentless 3 button spamming tactic.
The phenomenon has generated a spectrum of reactions within the Tekken community. Some players have expressed amusement and appreciation for the absurdity of the bot's success, sharing highlights and engaging in lighthearted banter on Reddit and Twitter. Others, however, have raised concerns about the impact of such automated gameplay on the integrity of Tekken's competitive scene, calling for its removal as a form of cheating.
The bot's performance has reignited discussions surrounding character balance and mechanics within Tekken 8. Specifically, players have noted comparisons to the meme of 333 and 444 button spamming associated with the character Eddie, reflecting on how the bot's strategy mirrors this humorous stereotype. However, unlike previous iterations, the bot's effectiveness has brought newfound attention to the character's viability and potential adjustments needed for game balance.
Additionally, the emergence of imitators, such as Twitch creator Victworrr and their bot spamming the 2 button or the "right punch" input, has further fueled conversations about the broader implications of automated gameplay and its impact on the Tekken community. As of now, Bandai Namco has not issued any statement regarding the presence of bots in Tekken 8.
