yea if you don't play tekken or have any interest in the series. tekken boomers honestly deserve this travesty for continuing to pay full price for all the slop harada shits out. tekken hasn't been decent since DR and hasn't been good since tag and everyone fucking knows it.
Steve Fox was genuinely fantastic when he debuted and was by far the most interesting character addition in Tekken 4 which immediately followed Tekken 3.
Why is john wick + raiden bad?
I find it retarded in a good way.
I still like the new girl better, I like girls that kick ass by hitting retardedly hard. I'm the guy that likes makoto on street fighter so I'm excited to try reina out.
I wish Victor had a more ordinary sword. Or even just a normal sheath. The big blocky mechanical sheath and always-visible glowing cyberkatana looks out of place for someone almost otherwise just a dude in a suit using a P320 pistol and a couple (funky looking) knives.
victor is the most tryhardy design ive ever seen. a baguette slinger with katana, jutsus and what else did he have? 2 karambits and a gun? the fuck were they thinking
>Gay weapon user in tekken >Gay low effort sci-fi garbage that wouldn't look out of place in an asset flip game >Gay teleport moves in a game that all about movement and weird hitboxes >Fucking fr*nch
Nah, get EWGF'd fag
Just realized she has 2 heat smashes. The one she did to Jin seems like her neutral one, while the one she does to Kazuya only comes out when she's near a wall.
>Reina's character design doesn't fit her personality,
90% her gimmick is that she was just another girl that got hijacked by Heihachi tho, you literally have his silhouette on her rage art
They are both pretty lame just like most Tekken characters. And Tekken 8's terrible costume designs have made even the handful of cool characters look like shit.
people won't stop repeating how it looks exactly like Tekken 7, and it does reuse animations where it can, but goddamn does the engine shift and asset updates really highlight how old T7 was
shit's 8 years old now
Lars' animation there is subtly different in a lot of ways. He's standing more upright, the fist is closer to his cheek, the face more forward, the elbows further from his torso.
The question is, fucking why? Why go through all that effort instead of just making a new intro? Does Harada just think the old intros are that fucking rad
Sung Jin Woo will be a guest fighter in either GBVS or Tekken 8. Jap shit doesn't stand a chance. It will dominate the anime industry which Chinese donghua couldn't. Solo leveling is AOTS next winter for there is no good competitor from Japan in anime next winter.
The way he worded it, he said there'd be no guests on launch because he was trying to cram in so many returning characters. Didn't say anything about guests as post-launch DLC.
She was hated because a fighting idol seemed like a departure from tekkens vaguely grounded in a martial art style (laser beam demons and fighting bears aside). Also harada was super into Idolmaster at the time.
Personally I liked her because I'm an asshole who laughs every time I land that BT launcher that deals a soul crushing amount of damage.
Honestly my real problem with Chloe is that she has a Bob & Lars syndrome where she's just a braindead version of an already existing character and that's the entire gimmick she has. What's the point of "Capo, but less buttons for the same thing"? People hated this crap in 6. The design is unironically not that big of a deal comperatively
What's there to ??? about anon, nearly all her fucking moves are just capo moves but with less thought involved because of the lack of followup options or the said followups covering multiple options at the same time so the choice is braindead. Exactly the same thing that happened with Bob and Lars who people actively fucking boo'd on stage for being boring ass characters that did what existing characters did but were simpler because of the extra values they had.
"Oh wow, I can play Jin without having to think about spacing or if my opponent will go right instead of left against my better buttons? Sign me up!" said nobody but tierwhores except Chloe was bottom tier at least. I'm sorry I'm ranting too much, I just really dislike this kind of character design being introduced to Tekken over and over.
she plays nothing like eddy, her entire shtick is threatening people during BT and running the 50/50
shes just like maven then I guess?
capoeira naggers are defined by having twice as much ehp because every time you catch them its a fucking float.
>Running 50/50
Capos do that >Stance mixup in your face with launchers
Capos have it, not to mention the whole high horizontal reach high evading launcher part OR the stupid double kick out of stance that always does a fuckton. Sidenote, stances that completely rely on evasion for defence at the same time >Low, sometimes fucking mid evading long range launcher
Capos have it
She has a capo jab string
Her iWR and run in general options are straight up fucking capo specific >One of the main lows is a fake safe low while the other is evasive and long range
That's also capo crap
All her key aspects are from capos, you play her like a capo
I think Victor with just gun kata and maybe a little karambit cqc would have been cool
they went overboard with giving him a fucking engine katana and teleportation
Reina is my new electric wind gf tho
Do the games ever have much in the way of single player stuff? How good she is doesn't matter since I wouldn't want to play online anyway, I know i'd get absolutely destroyed.
honestly haven't seen any strong feelings towards her, good or bad
she's just been meh
I think more people would've liked her had the leak not happened. like akuma levels of hype whenever she busted out the ewgf. its the first mishima since t3 (if we dont count jinpachi). I think they dropped the ball a bit with all the flying kicks shit though, that looks out of place if they wanted to go for a new mishima.
>I think they dropped the ball a bit with all the flying kicks shit though, that looks out of place if they wanted to go for a new mishima.
Wrong, she should be different in the same way Bob is, otherwise there's no point in her being a new character, she would just be a skin, speaking of Bob, Reina has a kick in her intro that looks very similar to Bob's roll high kick, just found that interesting.
>she should be different in the same way Bob is
Bob is just DJ but with Kazuya's iws bullshit build into one of his wavu wavu buttons, what are you smoking?
>Bob is just DJ but with Kazuya's iws bullshit build into one of his wavu wavu buttons
You know that Bob is a whole character with with a lot of moves the differ from the Mishima inputs, right?
You play him completely differently from the traditional Mishimas, have you even played him?
It seems like Reina might be a "Mishima" in gameplay similar to how Bob is a "Mishima".
>You know that Bob is a whole character with with a lot of moves the differ from the Mishima inputs, right? >You play him completely differently from the traditional Mishimas, have you even played him?
His two most important strings are 1:1 of DJ strings
Even his poke ranges are the same as DJ
He relies on a Mishima 1 string
His wavu options are not unique at all, like AK or something
He's a fucking clone character outside of wavu shenanigans too
>You play him completely differently from the traditional Mishimas, have you even played him?
???
You do nothing but wavedash and occasionally do a midcheck???????
Would've preferred if for once Tekken had a jacked female character. Not necessarily Marisa Jacked but considering this is a character borrowing from heihachis power based moveset, it would've fit perfectly to have her built like a female CrossFit athlete at least(EDIT: Like Synne Krokstad). Very meh in regards to her generic face and build but the character could grow on me over time. Just my 2 cents tho.
Now imagine a 35+ scarred 6foot2 woman with gravity defying hair, a cruel arrogant voice, and a female version of Heihachi's Tekken 4 tigerstripe suit. And actual hellsweeps. And she's actually an up-and-coming underworld mob boss instead of a college student.
>girl above the age of 25 that isn't some magical girl or was frozen like nina
guaranteed flop. it's waifu or go home. we might not have won but the devs know what will actually sell.
>would've fit perfectly to have her built like a female CrossFit athlete at least(EDIT: Like Synne Krokstad)
real life roasties are a terrible fit for a tekken girl character. if they want a buff chick it should have super-heroine proportions like SFV, F-ZERO:GX, or old sprite based MvC.
She has dumblr zoomers and twitterinas seething. Turning the men into pooners with zippertits is fine, but waifus and the fanservicy epilogues are too weird?
>what if we just steal that fat guy from GG and make him look generic >what if Heihachi's daughter was just a lady with no distinct features except a purple jacket
Michael Murray and the team are on top of their game!
https://blog.playstation.com/2023/11/12/tekken-8-game-director-reveals-details-on-new-characters-reina-and-victor/
She apparently plays a "vital role" in the story, and they had the idea for her while working on T7's story a decade ago.
She's 100% meant to be the Heihachi replacement since the character was killed off. If they planned way back in T7 where they decided to do it, then that pretty much confirms it.
Tekken story is terrible and pointless even by fighting game standards. As funny as it being summed up as sons and fathers throwing each other off cliffs is.
It's some woman who does IRL boxing/wrestling/whatever in Japan. I also hate it and last I heard, she is used only for the trailers. I'll mod her out if not.
[...]
based. japs really love this celeb bullshit where they hire popular westoids and think it makes it better
Left out a word there: who does IRL boxing/wrestling/whatever <announcing> in Japan. Yeah, they're only choosing her because she is a westoid who does cuhraaazy voices in English.
>Reina employs an acrobatic fighting style rooted in Taido, using swift and brutal techniques such as knife-hand strikes, eye pokes, and scratching that reflect her character
ball breaker
>straight up clawed his dick off >kicks Kazuya in the nuts in her rage art
What the fuck is her problem
So there's no way Heihachi doesn't make some kind of non-canon return to the roster, right? T5 did it, and he wasn't ever supposed to be in that particular tournament.
This dude, Shaheen, and Leo are the most bland roster filler imaginable.
Legitimately forgot Claudio was in the game until I first encountered one in the beta and he started spamming arrows out of his asshole.
Hopefully since they're hellbent on Leo becoming the staple bajiquan rep, they can turn Julia into Jaycee and put more emphasis on her grabs. I always liked the powerbomb she could do out of Swift Step.
>His whole existence is WR2 and hopkick
He is inoffensive anime because of how bland he is. But Victor's animeness is obnoxious. A french spy with hologram power can be tolerate, but a french ninja with 1000 folded samurai sword is too loud to let it pass
This dude, Shaheen, and Leo are the most bland roster filler imaginable.

I fucking hope so. Jaycee is based and it sucks that even the costume didn't make the cut for 7.
this is the future of the genre. Anime games are popular thanks to strive, zoomers love anime etc. No one gives a fuck anymore about muh realistic martial arts, shit is boring and for meatheads. It's the only way to make a commercially successful fighting game
I'm just mad they canned my alcoholic street brawler, i thought he was a los more popular.
I guess there's always Bryan for people who dig the rough fighter archetype, but still.
Wonder if we'll get something half as cool as this.
Also we can all agree that Reina is linked to Unknown right? Being either some sort of summoned apparition or the daughter of Jun and Kazuya corrupted by the Unknown.
Yes I know ttg2 is technically non-canon, but still...
>Also we can all agree that Reina is linked to Unknown right? Being either some sort of summoned apparition or
What? No
She's another one of Heihachi's long lost illegitimate offspring
Tekken character use KI that allows superhuman feats, physical str is just on top of it, KI is the essential part
Lifting doesn't allow you to catch bullets with your teeth bro
I don't know why
I really don't
But for some reason seeing that piece of wood flying towards the camera
it just gave me the urge to beat someone's head in with a 2x4
this guy is great if only he didnt have the katana
or get rid of the knives and gun and keep the katana
but if anything nagger is french and he should be using french rapier or something instead
Victor is cooler, but he's just using Noctis' moveset. So that makes him fucking lame, because Noctis was insufferable to deal with.
Also why the hell they gave Victor a sword is beyond me, i think he'd be far better with just the knife and gun alone. Especially if they were just going for a John Wick sort of character.
>victor
too old, should've been like 40 yo dude. go full john wick >reina >you want heihashi? too bad you get stronk wahmen >alt girl asuka
boring and disappointment
Honestly this is a bit of weird one for me. I feel like most people only main 1 character maybe 2 but the primary form of monetization for fighting game is new character DLC which alot of people dont care about. As an added negative in most fighting games you have to buy the DLC to practice against the new character. Dont give a shit about happy chaos but wanna learn how to beat him in training? Pay up.
Getting good at fighting games is all about how much you invest in them, whether it's time or money. Used to be you just bought the game, but now that part of the investment has doubled. It sucks. I wish characters and stages were free too but I'd rather pay for them than not get them at all.
>Getting good at fighting games is all about how much you invest in them, whether it's time or money.
This is the biggest lie. Some of the best players are on pad and there are still niggas like SonicFox that barely play after the first week and still win
>Check out this guy, he's like a cool operator who fights with a hand-gun and a combat knife >ACTUALLY most of his moves are this stupid katana and he's basically just a samurai
One of the biggest fuck-ups the series has ever made. What a waste.
You don't know that, in trailers they always show the most flashy moves, not basic ones. For all intents and purposes Victor still might be mostly about CQC. Azucena also doesn't play like her trailer portrays her.
three of the four remaining stages are victor's paris stage, reina's dojo, and lee's stage. the last is probably the stage from the first kazuya v. jin trailer
there is a logic that doesn't follow here. It starts with you including nyc morning and nyc normal as two different stages, if you do that, then why not have story mode version of nyc as well?

She apparently plays a "vital role" in the story, and they had the idea for her while working on T7's story a decade ago.
>having a flamboyant history of romantic relationships with more partners than one can count >he enjoys romances with more than a dozen women
What a chad. Wonder if Victor also has a bunch of bastard children like Heihachi.
>We can't give weapons to Josie, an eskrima expert because weapon users are specialist characters in this series! >Release Negan >Noctis >Gives weapons to characters that don't need them like Nina and Law >Victor >Josie doesn't make the cut for 8
JUST
she's a flip and flip martial arts use sticks and blades and shit or at least the movements are based on fighting with sticks and shit. even though josie is more of a kickboxer than an eskrima fighter
>my 1080ti can't run tekken 8 at 2k resolution, high settings at 60fps
it's over bros, might as well skip it, i tried lowering the settings and it looked ATROCIOUS
How tall is victor? 2m? And reina like 1.50?
>height
Everyone is the same height ingame cause of hitboxes and lazyness.
>Everyone is the same height ingame
Are you fucking retarded?
Can you atleast pretend to have played any game in the series dumbass
brutal mog
Heihachi>Reina>Bear>Kazuya>>>shit>>>>>>>>>Jin>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DJ
And Victor > Heihachi
kazuya is the iconic ewgf DORYA god dumbass.
Kazuya macro master seethe.

even worse, then
off yourself zoomer subhuman secondary
T4 always sucked, hipster

REMOVE MISHIMA
Tekken hasn't had a good newcomer since Bryan Fury.
You know when Bryan was introduced right?
yeah, tekken 4 obv
Tekken 3 brother
that game's too old, are you sure? i'm pretty sure i saw his introduction in tekken 5 with asuka and lili
You're confusing Bryan with Dragunov
Bryan was introduced in tk3 along with Jin Hwo and etc
are you sure? that game seems kinda old, tekken 6 introduced bryan lee and miguel i think it was probably that one
That anon is retarded, he's the kind of person who thinks star wars came out before spaceballs
Bryan was introduced in tk9
>Acting like T4 and T5 didn't have good newcomers
yea if you don't play tekken or have any interest in the series. tekken boomers honestly deserve this travesty for continuing to pay full price for all the slop harada shits out. tekken hasn't been decent since DR and hasn't been good since tag and everyone fucking knows it.
Steve Fox was genuinely fantastic when he debuted and was by far the most interesting character addition in Tekken 4 which immediately followed Tekken 3.
I will destroy you
LARS
is a tresh
Victor is a character made from the mind of a 10yo kid.
Victor should've been more John Wick and less Raiden
Why is john wick + raiden bad?
I find it retarded in a good way.
I still like the new girl better, I like girls that kick ass by hitting retardedly hard. I'm the guy that likes makoto on street fighter so I'm excited to try reina out.
He’s clearly neither of those. He’s Victor.
cringekino
I wish Victor had a more ordinary sword. Or even just a normal sheath. The big blocky mechanical sheath and always-visible glowing cyberkatana looks out of place for someone almost otherwise just a dude in a suit using a P320 pistol and a couple (funky looking) knives.
holy shit that looks cool but is his music better?
why does he have a katana?
Because they wanted to have a chunni teleporting fucker like Noctis without having to get Noctis back.
victor is the most tryhardy design ive ever seen. a baguette slinger with katana, jutsus and what else did he have? 2 karambits and a gun? the fuck were they thinking
He’s a man of many skills what can i say
OP, once again, and as always, is a homosexual
Not a hard task to be honest. Still, every newcomer in Tekken 8 is dogshit.
>Gay weapon user in tekken
>Gay low effort sci-fi garbage that wouldn't look out of place in an asset flip game
>Gay teleport moves in a game that all about movement and weird hitboxes
>Fucking fr*nch
Nah, get EWGF'd fag
your response?
Get on your knees and open your mouth
shed bite it off and spit it in your mouth
Hot
Just realized she has 2 heat smashes. The one she did to Jin seems like her neutral one, while the one she does to Kazuya only comes out when she's near a wall.
She's not Master Raven, Victor.
Waddle up to her with my pants around my ankles and a half chub
>o-ok
Reina's character design doesn't fit her personality, but I guess they're just trying to break the archetypes.
>Reina's character design doesn't fit her personality,
90% her gimmick is that she was just another girl that got hijacked by Heihachi tho, you literally have his silhouette on her rage art
since when did he ever have the power to hijack people retard-kun?
Brother nobody said it was confirmed why are you acting like this
He looks campy as fuck, I love it. And Reina's hot.
I haven't played a fightan in ages tho
Victor would have been much cooler with a regular sword and knives.
Victor rapes Reina with his eyes closed
She wishes she was as cool as an orochi girl
No one has given a fuck about any of those characters for over two decades.
Don't be rude to my mom wives. (Vice and Mature.)
I like RRRReina
Worship her.
not with the boots on
you have to beat her in a fight to get her to take her boots off
Tryhard bitch i dont care at all for her and her lore will be some stupid bs
Victor mogs
They are both pretty lame just like most Tekken characters. And Tekken 8's terrible costume designs have made even the handful of cool characters look like shit.
Those two aren't martial fighting people what are they doing in IRON FIST tournament
They are both shitty, repurposed characters. This roster is dumb.
I don't know who made these characters but they've made me forgive them for what they did to Paul
brutal mogging
people won't stop repeating how it looks exactly like Tekken 7, and it does reuse animations where it can, but goddamn does the engine shift and asset updates really highlight how old T7 was
shit's 8 years old now
Lars' animation there is subtly different in a lot of ways. He's standing more upright, the fist is closer to his cheek, the face more forward, the elbows further from his torso.
The question is, fucking why? Why go through all that effort instead of just making a new intro? Does Harada just think the old intros are that fucking rad
yeah but why and how does fahkumram manage to look like a T8 character
they're the only good new characters
Your first DLC guest character, sir.
unironically kino
Who the fuck is that
Sung Jin Woo will be a guest fighter in either GBVS or Tekken 8. Jap shit doesn't stand a chance. It will dominate the anime industry which Chinese donghua couldn't. Solo leveling is AOTS next winter for there is no good competitor from Japan in anime next winter.
LOL that's the only popular asiatic webcomic tho? wtf is he smoking about??
delusional race traitor jap
We'll see, i like competition
>DLC guest character
Didnt Harada confirm there'd be none of that shit this time around?
The way he worded it, he said there'd be no guests on launch because he was trying to cram in so many returning characters. Didn't say anything about guests as post-launch DLC.
Which tekken character that they'll use to invite him?
ffxvi is passe, rebirth is the new hotness, it will be tifa
She doesn't look like she should have that personality. And not in an interesting way either.
Victor needs to reserve the weapons for his rage art and Reina needs a new outfit to better match her character.
Justify this justify it!!!
roids
I’m talking about graphical difference between rage arts and intro/outro cutscenes
Who the fuck wanted Alisa back
She was in top30 most used characters
yeah because shes easy and op as fuck. hate that bitch
Bob and Lars were also used a lot in t6 but nobody ever actually fucking liked them, it's just broken nagger bias
>Marduk DLC a very real possibility
Yeah because there's only 30 characters in the game
There are 50 character in tk7
>anna 20th
thats bull. she was like bottom 5
She got some nice buffs later on
Both are cooler than the coffee Hispanic and every 7 newcomer.
>Victor
>Reina
nice pic
Victor would have been GOAT without the gay ass laser katana
>even heihachi can't resist the urge of dressing like a hoe once he turns into a girl
best segment where everyone pogs
i pogged more when she did omen than when she did the ewgf
maybe if there hadn't been a leak.
?t=110
?t=144
Honestly I'm pretty excited to see the alternative outfits for both Gaytor and Reimu
What’s up with the nicknames bro?
>v-victor is too overdesigned!! t-this isnt what tekken is about
That is Lili's father who tried eating Jun because Jun raped Lili
it's truly ogre
bring ogre back.
WHERE THE FR*CK IS SHE
dlc
Remember when people went ape shit because she was "too anime" to be added to the roster? I guess they finally won.
Who is more anime than her in tk8?
Victor
Victor is not more anime than Lucky Chloe
She was hated because a fighting idol seemed like a departure from tekkens vaguely grounded in a martial art style (laser beam demons and fighting bears aside). Also harada was super into Idolmaster at the time.
Personally I liked her because I'm an asshole who laughs every time I land that BT launcher that deals a soul crushing amount of damage.
Yes we did. Seethe
i thought everyone hated this bitch
A lot play her
the weebs do, for obvious reasons, yes.
Honestly my real problem with Chloe is that she has a Bob & Lars syndrome where she's just a braindead version of an already existing character and that's the entire gimmick she has. What's the point of "Capo, but less buttons for the same thing"? People hated this crap in 6. The design is unironically not that big of a deal comperatively
??????

season wan
Dead with the troons that used to play her.
the capos and chloe got replaced by reina, the japoeira fighter
What's the point of omen when EWGF exists anyways
>whats the point of one of the highest damaging launchers in the game that happens to be safe and a mid and tracks like a motherfucker
I think Victor with just gun kata and maybe a little karambit cqc would have been cool
they went overboard with giving him a fucking engine katana and teleportation
Reina is my new electric wind gf tho
I knew they will make a new hei character
is she Jin's aunt, cousin or niece?
Aunt
I want Reina to beat the shit out of me.
She looks so bland. 32 characters and none is worth playing. How did they do that?
At first i thought she was Anna replacement until she did the electric fists
Both are equally good and better than coffeecunt but all 3 are better than every Tekken 7 newcomer combined.
9/10 new characters
I've never played a tekken game but i'm seriously considering getting 8 just because of her.
Same with Reina
Don't fall for the waifuhomosexualry. Go for the tier meta.
julia my beloved will be top tier again since she is going to be DLC again
Bryan is cool as fuck but I hate how you do basic stuff on weird inputs instead.
I just want to have access to a launcher on a df+button or hopkick.
he needs weird inputs so he isnt op with is basic attacks
Not like I plan on playing online
Why's that? Though you're probably right, I should just wait for the porn.
She's not a good character
She's perfectly fine against everyone but the absolute best. Good even because Tekken 7 players have no clue how to deal with sidesteps
Do the games ever have much in the way of single player stuff? How good she is doesn't matter since I wouldn't want to play online anyway, I know i'd get absolutely destroyed.
Boy are you going to be disappointment
If only we got a tall cool beautiful lady wearing a suit and sunglasses
t. literal homosexual
You can't tell how big her boobs are from this trailer
I'm just happy because as far as new characters go, none of them seem shitty or uncool.
Who plays closest to Bob in the T8 roster? I was really hoping for him.
Bob is discount Devil Jin and always has been anon...
I love him 🙁
Bob is for Mishima players who can't do electrics but inexplicably want to be a fat fuck
Reina has redditors seething
honestly haven't seen any strong feelings towards her, good or bad
she's just been meh
Reddit's ideal female character is Lidia so that should you how much their opinion matters
I wanna worship her soles
I think more people would've liked her had the leak not happened. like akuma levels of hype whenever she busted out the ewgf. its the first mishima since t3 (if we dont count jinpachi). I think they dropped the ball a bit with all the flying kicks shit though, that looks out of place if they wanted to go for a new mishima.
>I think they dropped the ball a bit with all the flying kicks shit though, that looks out of place if they wanted to go for a new mishima.
Wrong, she should be different in the same way Bob is, otherwise there's no point in her being a new character, she would just be a skin, speaking of Bob, Reina has a kick in her intro that looks very similar to Bob's roll high kick, just found that interesting.
>she should be different in the same way Bob is
Bob is just DJ but with Kazuya's iws bullshit build into one of his wavu wavu buttons, what are you smoking?

>You know that Bob is a whole character with with a lot of moves the differ from the Mishima inputs, right?

His two most important strings are 1:1 of DJ strings
Even his poke ranges are the same as DJ
He relies on a Mishima 1 string
His wavu options are not unique at all, like AK or something
He's a fucking clone character outside of wavu shenanigans too
>You play him completely differently from the traditional Mishimas, have you even played him?
???
You do nothing but wavedash and occasionally do a midcheck???????
meh, I just want a heavy hitter girl, leo is the closest we got
Why'd you save a thumbnail?
Would've preferred if for once Tekken had a jacked female character. Not necessarily Marisa Jacked but considering this is a character borrowing from heihachis power based moveset, it would've fit perfectly to have her built like a female CrossFit athlete at least(EDIT: Like Synne Krokstad). Very meh in regards to her generic face and build but the character could grow on me over time. Just my 2 cents tho.
shut up
Yes it's always been like this.
Now imagine a 35+ scarred 6foot2 woman with gravity defying hair, a cruel arrogant voice, and a female version of Heihachi's Tekken 4 tigerstripe suit. And actual hellsweeps. And she's actually an up-and-coming underworld mob boss instead of a college student.
Did we win here?
>girl above the age of 25 that isn't some magical girl or was frozen like nina
guaranteed flop. it's waifu or go home. we might not have won but the devs know what will actually sell.
>would've fit perfectly to have her built like a female CrossFit athlete at least(EDIT: Like Synne Krokstad)
real life roasties are a terrible fit for a tekken girl character. if they want a buff chick it should have super-heroine proportions like SFV, F-ZERO:GX, or old sprite based MvC.
Is she basically Tekken's Jury?
She has dumblr zoomers and twitterinas seething. Turning the men into pooners with zippertits is fine, but waifus and the fanservicy epilogues are too weird?
t. literal homosexual
what stance is this?
automatic low-parry stance
bonks you with a mid afterwards
>Le old man that fights like he got the body of a 20yo man on steroids
Nah. I will take tomboy waifus every day.
>what if we just steal that fat guy from GG and make him look generic
>what if Heihachi's daughter was just a lady with no distinct features except a purple jacket
Michael Murray and the team are on top of their game!
Asuka is fat
Why the older characters like steve, devil jin..etc are not getting trailers?
not enough budget to hire the smoker lady
They don't want people to know that the characters are either heavily nerfed, or haven't had very many changes to update them for Tekken 8.
They are getting trailers
hey alright
hey shut the fuck up
and thanks
bagoooooosh
>Kuma and Panda are on separate roster slots
>again
They announced during the showcase yesterday that the other characters will be getting trailers every week until the game comes out.
I don't get what's the point of this coffee bitch
Guess they wanted a joke character newcomer to contrast Victor and Reina being more serious and plot relevant.
Yeah the beta had it.
When are the guests..?
Fuck, i didn't know how much i need to see Kiryu crashing a Tekken game until now.
Kiryu will NEVER happen
the first thing im doing is putting every bitch in a bikini oh my god i need the SEX NOW
ah yes those wide shoulders and fridge like builds are so sexy
Lili's shoulders ain't like that
>Voiced by Vincent Cassel
What the fuck.
yeah the ocean twelve guy and scooby doo
>Want to play 8 and my top boy steve again
>The thought of spending 70 bucks on a game, let alone a fighting one makes me physically ill
Fuck...
is there going to be cross play?
Will Reina be relevant to the story or will she become another case like Asuka?
https://blog.playstation.com/2023/11/12/tekken-8-game-director-reveals-details-on-new-characters-reina-and-victor/
She apparently plays a "vital role" in the story, and they had the idea for her while working on T7's story a decade ago.
She's 100% meant to be the Heihachi replacement since the character was killed off. If they planned way back in T7 where they decided to do it, then that pretty much confirms it.
Tekken story is terrible and pointless even by fighting game standards. As funny as it being summed up as sons and fathers throwing each other off cliffs is.
>Parry stances
>Evasive moves
What is Murray's idea behind handing out these two properties to almost all newcomers in late T7 and T8?
That's been most characters since 6, well, aside from the parry stances
Reminds me of Vice from KOF
whats up with the announcer. cant tell if its a man or woman. i hate it and the shit tongue rolls
It's some woman who does IRL boxing/wrestling/whatever in Japan. I also hate it and last I heard, she is used only for the trailers. I'll mod her out if not.
based. japs really love this celeb bullshit where they hire popular westoids and think it makes it better
Left out a word there: who does IRL boxing/wrestling/whatever <announcing> in Japan. Yeah, they're only choosing her because she is a westoid who does cuhraaazy voices in English.
She's extremely popular here among people who like the sweaty-dudes-in-a-ring genre, not just some random white woman.
they shouldve hired the mma announcer dude
Both look cool but where is my Katarina
I expect her 3 and 4 strings to be given to some DLC character, and harrier to someone else
I really liked her too, but she wasn't popular enough
Sad, guess I'll have to learn Asuka or Reina, their moves look fun enough to be able to fuck with other people
Victor doesn't make the little penis become the big one so he loses.
In the beginning her moves are similar to asuka ..
BRO
What dojo will teach me the forbidden dick ripper technique?
>straight up clawed his dick off
>kicks Kazuya in the nuts in her rage art
What the fuck is her problem
im really glad that her head/neck during the spin kick is just as janky as others like hwo. its pretty iconic.
>Reina employs an acrobatic fighting style rooted in Taido, using swift and brutal techniques such as knife-hand strikes, eye pokes, and scratching that reflect her character
ball breaker
she scratches his eyes in her rage art too
Victor seems like the sort that appears super out of place but I do like his battle style.
He also looks and fights similarly to a class in Dungeon Fighter Online, I wonder if that's the inspiration behind him.
victor just seems more of a james bond type of feller
so tekken lore is just about how if you're not a mishima you're irrelevant?
yes
Always has been. Hell, Lars IS a mishima and even he got pushed aside as soon as T6 was over. It's literally just Jin and Kazuya's series now.
You get to be very briefly relevant if you're part of the main story for that particular game.
So there's no way Heihachi doesn't make some kind of non-canon return to the roster, right? T5 did it, and he wasn't ever supposed to be in that particular tournament.
>Hei had the best sounding ewgf, dvj close second
>Nothing is as satisfying as hitting omen
>Gone
Fuck this gay earth
How would Abby play if she was in tekken?
She pulls out her golf club in her rage art
>people bitching about Victor being too anime
>meanwhile this motherfucker
this character was always a boring ass anime bitch. we've got new meat to complain about.
This dude, Shaheen, and Leo are the most bland roster filler imaginable.
Legitimately forgot Claudio was in the game until I first encountered one in the beta and he started spamming arrows out of his asshole.
Hopefully since they're hellbent on Leo becoming the staple bajiquan rep, they can turn Julia into Jaycee and put more emphasis on her grabs. I always liked the powerbomb she could do out of Swift Step.
>His whole existence is WR2 and hopkick
He is inoffensive anime because of how bland he is. But Victor's animeness is obnoxious. A french spy with hologram power can be tolerate, but a french ninja with 1000 folded samurai sword is too loud to let it pass
Claudio sucks, Victor is alright.
>Hopefully since they're hellbent on Leo becoming the staple bajiquan rep, they can turn Julia into Jaycee and put more emphasis on her grabs. I always liked the powerbomb she could do out of Swift Step.
I fucking hope so. Jaycee is based and it sucks that even the costume didn't make the cut for 7.
The entirety of Tekken 8 is pure anime homosexualry. You either come to terms with it or skip it.
this is the future of the genre. Anime games are popular thanks to strive, zoomers love anime etc. No one gives a fuck anymore about muh realistic martial arts, shit is boring and for meatheads. It's the only way to make a commercially successful fighting game
Victor is for sparring
Reina is for intense lovemaking
I'm just mad they canned my alcoholic street brawler, i thought he was a los more popular.
I guess there's always Bryan for people who dig the rough fighter archetype, but still.
Expect him and Bob to come as DLC.
DLC
T-Rex arms, plus his gameplay is lame as fuck to watch, he just pokes you a bunch. There's better characters for that playstyle.
now that jin a good boy again, they can't have miguel in
How do you know he won't try to tear Jin a new asshole like Kazuya did in the first few minutes of the story?
Harada doesnt go by popularity alone
fags like Ganryu no one likes but he got back bcs of his fighting style
GIVE ME THE DRAGUNOV TRAILER YOU FUCKING GAYLORDS
that string really reminds me of succession striker's Roaring Tiger combos in BDO
Why did they bring Shaheen back beside pandering to muzzies. Literally what is his martial art even besides being a slidenagger.
They gotta have at least one fundies character
Mashallah hopefully it makes those rich fucks host another million dollar team tournament, that was pretty fun to watch habibi.
At least Shaheen looks visually interesting this time.
>Shaheen over Josie
End yourself Harada.
Wonder if we'll get something half as cool as this.
Also we can all agree that Reina is linked to Unknown right? Being either some sort of summoned apparition or the daughter of Jun and Kazuya corrupted by the Unknown.
Yes I know ttg2 is technically non-canon, but still...
>Also we can all agree that Reina is linked to Unknown right? Being either some sort of summoned apparition or
What? No
She's another one of Heihachi's long lost illegitimate offspring
She's too young.
The clue is in her calling Jin Senpai.
What made you think he stopped fucking after Jin was born?
What the fuck do you mean by this? Do you think men dry up like women in old age or something?
You're an idiot she's just another heihachi bastard that happened to take after daddy a bit.
Calling this, Unknown isn't in the game. Tag 1-2 is completely fanfiction. She doesn't fit the plot at all.
Victor plays more as a soul calibur character than a tekken character
Pretty impressive how you know already how Victor plays
The way it seems like she's supposed to be a heavy hitter while being another 50 pound japanese teenager, has me all fucked up.
agreed. it was a little weird, but honestly its MUCH more welcome than wimpy choreography like chloe. the way she moves looks pretty satisfying.
Tekken character use KI that allows superhuman feats, physical str is just on top of it, KI is the essential part
Lifting doesn't allow you to catch bullets with your teeth bro
I don't know why
I really don't
But for some reason seeing that piece of wood flying towards the camera
it just gave me the urge to beat someone's head in with a 2x4
Mishimachads please respond, I fell in love with Reina at first sight but I can't wavedash or EWGF, is it mandatory?
Yes, but she probably doesn't have a real crouch dash for a wavedash or just frame EWGF.
Where is he?
wearing some dumbass scuba gear
So Reina wants her nephew's dick?
My pick for a DLC character?
Huh
You already know who it is
leo is already in
Terry instead
Terry is old and not as slim or cool. Plus Rock would be filling in for Geese.
>or cool
lol underage.
Terry is cool.
Geese is cool.
Mix them together,
You have cool2
Just imagine a Rock Howard Vs Leo Kleissen fight
Imagine their kids
Pick one Ganker guest character for 8
Ya fuck it bring negan back.
negan 2.0
gon
Yes bring Negan back
Negan again, it would be even funnier than the first time
Will he come back?
Victor is there to cater noctisfags
Victor isn't a edgy twink so I don't think Noctis players will be interested.
victor was such a huge disappointment. when the leakers said CQC i thought it was going to be some jason borne, kali shit. but nope. just noctass
nah as a native French speaker Vincent Cassel is a better movie actor than a voice actor.
His voice is meh
Should've hire Jean Reno instead ngl
I personally see no difference in height at all
So when is the next trailer?
Chuuni Hwoarang was better than kimono Hwoarang.
Baek was better than Hwoarang.
The fuck does chunni mean?
>Newfag
Lurk more.
this guy is great if only he didnt have the katana
or get rid of the knives and gun and keep the katana
but if anything nagger is french and he should be using french rapier or something instead
Victor is cooler, but he's just using Noctis' moveset. So that makes him fucking lame, because Noctis was insufferable to deal with.
Also why the hell they gave Victor a sword is beyond me, i think he'd be far better with just the knife and gun alone. Especially if they were just going for a John Wick sort of character.
Reina would have worked if she has nicer personality but still got fierce mishima style. She does not really need act like Heihachi out of combat.
guns are gay and have no place in fighting games.
So Jin has an aunt younger than him.
>victor
too old, should've been like 40 yo dude. go full john wick
>reina
>you want heihashi? too bad you get stronk wahmen
>alt girl asuka
boring and disappointment
Victor should have a sword, otherwise he's absolutely perfect.
Are we getting a new Muai guy or are we getting the giant and the crybaby back?
I've heard they'll reveal dlcs on twt finals, we'll see there I guess, otherwise no muai thai guys on release
COFFEE GANG RISE UP
Best girl, love my fortnite dancing wife
Bad taste
What is Reina's bush like?
women
victor
what went wrong? what went right?
>wrong
coffee
>right
the other two
Coffee is the only one I like, even in spite of her bland aesthetic. I could watch her dodge shit all day.
>Wrong
The katana
>Right
Everything else
I like all three of them, but I'm still only going to play Yoshimitsu.
Honestly this is a bit of weird one for me. I feel like most people only main 1 character maybe 2 but the primary form of monetization for fighting game is new character DLC which alot of people dont care about. As an added negative in most fighting games you have to buy the DLC to practice against the new character. Dont give a shit about happy chaos but wanna learn how to beat him in training? Pay up.
Getting good at fighting games is all about how much you invest in them, whether it's time or money. Used to be you just bought the game, but now that part of the investment has doubled. It sucks. I wish characters and stages were free too but I'd rather pay for them than not get them at all.
>Getting good at fighting games is all about how much you invest in them, whether it's time or money.
This is the biggest lie. Some of the best players are on pad and there are still niggas like SonicFox that barely play after the first week and still win
just remove the katana and all the teleporting bullshit and victor would be so fucking cool
>Right
Flossing Peruvian, suit guy
>Wrong
Danger hair asiatic
everything
Pretty impressive the artist managed to get everything right, even her eye makeup.
>wrong
the old guy with katana and teleporting powers
>right
brown coffee and female heihachi
Reminder Heihachi has probably 20+ illegitimate children all around the world. Expect more Mishima kids in the future. Reina is just the 4th.
4th? Wasn't Lee adopted?
Lee is adopted but one of the 4 still according to Harada.
Weird, but unsurprising
>being adopted means you cant inherit anything
there's a BEAR on the list
> enough bastard children to complete an actual fighting game roster
Christ.
I hate the Spanish characters.
Thats why they took Miguel out of Tekken 8.
Don't worry I'm glad Miguel the trex is gone too and azucena will likely be nerfed to lucky Chloe shit tier after that gameplay tournament.
I want to watch them kiss
He would be if he didn't have that gay looking dildo katana or those stupid glasses.
>Check out this guy, he's like a cool operator who fights with a hand-gun and a combat knife
>ACTUALLY most of his moves are this stupid katana and he's basically just a samurai
One of the biggest fuck-ups the series has ever made. What a waste.
You don't know that, in trailers they always show the most flashy moves, not basic ones. For all intents and purposes Victor still might be mostly about CQC. Azucena also doesn't play like her trailer portrays her.
They showed the same Reina combo twice, didn't they?
three of the four remaining stages are victor's paris stage, reina's dojo, and lee's stage. the last is probably the stage from the first kazuya v. jin trailer
there is a logic that doesn't follow here. It starts with you including nyc morning and nyc normal as two different stages, if you do that, then why not have story mode version of nyc as well?
its possible, but i can't imagine they'd put three separate variations of the same stage
It's also possible that all nyc variation count for one stage in their eyes and there are actually 2 more stages left
that'd be nice because the stage selection is not looking great so far
So the desert one is the only true infinite?
>having a flamboyant history of romantic relationships with more partners than one can count
>he enjoys romances with more than a dozen women
What a chad. Wonder if Victor also has a bunch of bastard children like Heihachi.
dlc chars should be
AK
Bruce
Yujiro
Kiryu
Onizuka
SNIIIIIF
i wonder what happened to this anon
Murray will keep working on Tekken, don't worry
predict reina's alternate costumes
School girl outfit for sure
No Roger Jr, no buy
Tekken story is kino, even some random story summary from literal who got millions of views on it
?si=5VKB2oomyg5O95Oz
>We can't give weapons to Josie, an eskrima expert because weapon users are specialist characters in this series!
>Release Negan
>Noctis
>Gives weapons to characters that don't need them like Nina and Law
>Victor
>Josie doesn't make the cut for 8
JUST
why would she use a weapon
she's a flip and flip martial arts use sticks and blades and shit or at least the movements are based on fighting with sticks and shit. even though josie is more of a kickboxer than an eskrima fighter
you guys know she's just a bruce asset flip
>why would she use a weapon
Eskrima is the martial art that created karambit, balisong, kali sticks etc.
fk off weapon fag
i dont want them and the ones that are in the game are subverting its core identity
its gay and corny
>Heihachi's daughter
>Looks younger than Jin
Lol. Japs are terrified of older women
hello
We finally meet Jin Senpai >:3 >:3 >:3 >:3 >:3
>my 1080ti can't run tekken 8 at 2k resolution, high settings at 60fps
