Ranks in Tekken 8.
Tekken 8 has 30 ranks in Season 1, 7 fewer than Tekken 7. The rank progression bar displays the total accumulated points of a character's rank, multiple upcoming ranks, and the current rank of registered friends. It is not possible to be demoted prior to reaching Warrior rank, as the player does not lose points below the yellow ranks.
Similar to Tekken 7, ranks are based on which character the player is playing, but reaching a new best rank for the first time will increase the rank of every other character.
In Season 2, new ranks are added, specifically above God of Destruction by collecting seven orbs to achieve the new highest rank which is God of Destruction ∞.

Trivia[]
- The Dragon Ranks are literally translated as: Sleeping Dragon (Garyū), True Dragon (Shinryū) and Heavenly Dragon (Tenryū)
- Sleeping Dragon is a nickname often associated with the Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang.
- This is the first time where Kishin and Bushin are localized the same way outside of Japan. Prior to Tekken 8, the ranks were respectively localized as "Yaksa" and "Lord of War"/"Asura" respectively.
- The Blue Ranks are literally translated as: Wind God (Fūjin), Thunder God (Raijin), Demon God (Kishin) and God of War (Bushin).
- "Kishin" in East Asian mythology are commonly called "Fierce Deities" or "Wrathful Deities" -- a being whose main purpose is to destroy evil. Sometimes, "Kishin" are alter egos that peaceful gods assume when consumed by rage or revenge.
- Some regional versions of the game replace the word "God" in the last 11 ranks with "Lord."
- The kanji used for the added God of Destruction ranks in Season 2 are called daiji, a set of kanji used for numbers in formal or legal documents (i.e. 壱 meaning "one").
