For many of us, video games are the way we can bond with our loved ones. Whether family, a partneror a group of friends getting together to play Helldivers 2Some of our best memories with people we care about are made possible through games. Luckily, some games give us the opportunity to immortalize those who have passed away, and that’s exactly what it is Tekken 8 does for a fan who lost his sparring partner.
Reddit user Melodic_Insect1356 posted on the Tekken SubredditThey said they suddenly lost their brother. According to the post, it is her sibling, a 26-year-old Tekken Fan, Mained Lee and had put a lot of time into playing Tekken 8 in an effort to achieve higher ranking and compete in local tournaments in Texas. Melodic_Insect1356 asked the community if there was a way to save her brother’s AI ghost to play against him, even if it was a “poor imitation.” These spirits are essentially replicas of a player’s fighting style, learning how to use a character after studying their fights. You can use them as training partners to practice reactions to your friends’ strategies.
After the post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), it became caught the attention of Tekken 8 Producer Katsuhiro Harada And Director Kohei Ikeda. Both expressed their condolences and confirmed that AI ghost data can be downloaded locally to a player’s system. This will allow you to keep it even if it is deleted from the game’s servers.
Melodic_Insect1356 replied on RedditHe said: “This was completely unexpected. Thank you to everyone here and to them Tekken Team. We really have something special here.” It’s heartwarming to see the community come together to help a fighter in need. I recently immortalized my dog who passed away a year ago this month. in a copy of Pokémon White 2That’s why I know how special it can feel to keep a piece of someone who has passed away in a game we love.
