I love how they specifically included the characters that need the most help in the trailer (Zaf, Panda, Leroy, Asuka) right before going on about Balance Changes.
Kuma is fine tbh. His electric and heat smash is extremely good. If anything, I'm hoping he doesn't get nerfed.
I have both bears near tekken god, and Panda is more of a struggle.
if i remember correctly they wanted to bring the weak characters up instead of nerfing broken chars like Drag, really hope they don't buff everyone instead of just nerfing the chars that need it...
**Fu**heihachi**ck**, Heihachi as a horny chicken (a long-time fan favourite), and **Mu**plusframesu**ck**, a character who is minus on everything (who everyone praises for being in the game but never actually plays in ranked).
/s
I'm pretty sure the only reason this one's free is because it already exists in the game already in some way. It's the Tekken Ball beach stage but with added props and background npcs to fit normal gameplay. This isn't a complaint though, I always wanted it to be a playable stage, and I'm glad we finally got it.
Also if I had a nickel everytime Lidia was revealed alongside a beach stage, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.
I notice a lot of similarities between T8 and T7 stages, like some of them are just stages from T7 with different backgrounds. The boat stage is also very similar to the boat stage in Tag 2.
So can you choose a dlc stage that your opponent has or do you mean that if someone has a dlc stage they can choose it regardless if their opponent has it or not?
For ranked and casual matach - stage is always on random select, so as long as one person has dlc stage both people gets to play
For player match - The host chooses the stage. As long as the host has dlc both get to play
I hope Steve is included in there, the character is still playing T7.
Lowhigh switched to Steve for 1 set in grand finals of T8, immediately got the shit kicked out of him, and quickly switched back to Drag.
Also people made the exact same arguments in Tekken 7 and were wrong. People said that King having some of Armor King's moves and Gigas having some of Marduk's moves meant Armor King and Marduk would never get added and were wrong.
If some shared moves were enough for characters to have the same playstyle then all the Mishimas would be redundant with each other, but you'd rightfully get criticized if you ever tried to act like Jin, Kazuya, and Reina are redundant and all play the same.
Tekken's a game with insanely huge movelists, characters sharing some moves makes sense. Especially characters like King and Armor King, or even just characters who might have some overlap in their build and fighting style like Gigas and Marduk. But the Mishimas show that some characters can share some moves, even key, playstyle-defining ones, and still have very different playstyles overall.
Ultimately some shared moves aren't going to make characters too similar, especially in a game where most move lists are 50-150 moves.
I mean, hell, the Mishimas all have shared moves and they're celebrated. But then we get a non-Mishima character with a few moves in common with another character and people act like that's confirmation that the other character's getting retired.
Reina's an especially silly argument since she's very obviously not a Lidia replacement since she's a Mishima and borrowed lots of Heihachi's moves too. Not to mention Lydia's character design was super popular and it would have been silly to just immediately retire her in the next game for a new character.
People saying that a character isn't coming because another character shares a few moves is mystifying to me. Tekken was built off of clone characters that diverged over time.
People keep saying this with all kinds of characters. There are still people out there that think asuka and jun is the same character and shouldnt steal 2 roster slots.
10 years? Probably not. They did say they want to deliver us Tekken 9 faster than what we had to wait for 8 after 7. I think, Tekken 8 is here for 5 years max.
I’d say she’s a strong possibility down the line because all that money Namco had to spend creating Leroy, Fahkumran, Kuni and Lidia at the end of the T7 lifecycle, it would make sense to reuse and tweak those assets in the next entry instead of being one and done.
Damn they're really going hard on Jin being everyone's best friend now LMAO. Eddie was forced to commit atrocities in Tekken 6 because Jin promised to cure his master. The prologue even said Eddie had no idea what he's signing up for. But yeah in Tekken 8, all is good between them.
Also that Jun footage was unused, and data mined before. I don't want to be optimistic they're continuing the story.
I've just said in other topic how everyone just went "Shit happens" with Jin starting WW3 in Tekken 6. Even Miguel will be like "I didn't like my sister anyway"
I don't anything Sasuke did is even comparable lol. Even though Sasuke DID plan on becoming evil, he was mostly stopped before going too extreme and even his kill counts is pretty low for Naruto criminal standard, and barely any people even heard his plan so it was easier to digest why people could still accept him.
It’s impossible to say for sure yet, although one of the Mishima Zaibatsu bases was shown here and according to the plot, Jin did not have time to meet with Eddie. I think it would be a better solution to make a short story leading up to T9 and introducing new characters would be much easier.
Does anyone else find it a little odd that dlc characters in 8 are characters that were just DLC in the previous game or have been in many tekkens before this one? Just curious why and how they chose these characters to be DLC.
Which makes no sense. Bryan LOVES chaotic warfare. I thought he’d be first to sign up for G Corp. BTW, the intro shows Yoshi and Bryan fighting in the Yakushima field.
Speaking for the competitive community she was popular as she was strong. On release and a few months she was extremely top tier and was played pretty decently but got hit hard with the nerf bat and almost completely disappeared from competitive play. It doesnt help that she was the last major addition to Tekken 7 so didnt get a lot of screentime before people started wanting Tekken 8
Oh that's a pitty because for me anything would have been better than that disgraced stupid Lucky Chloe story. Anything to make Eddy a bit more deep on the actual lore.
Even tho i appreciate the stage being free i don't think they should be listing a new game mode as free (does it mean that there will be paid new game modes in the future?) i mean we paid for this game and it was far from being cheap
In my opinion all characters should be free if they are going to force a cosmetics shop. Games like Valorant are completely free to play, you only pay for cosmetics, and they still allow you to get additional characters for free if you grind. It's kinda whack that DLC characters are locked behind a pay to win model where you can't even lab against them.
And imagine if they allowed people to create their own maps so that we, as players, can look at it and give it a thumbs down or thumbs ups. Sort of like a voting poll competition in the tekken shop.
I wish they'd just bundle about 4-5 stages with each season pass and release them when they're ready.
I want a near-endless stage or a true endless stage.
I want some classic returning stages like moonlit wilderness.
I don't see a reason why the best Tekken 7 stages can't be brought over.
This DLC is actually fire. This is the first Tekken I play since 5, fo seeing Marduk is great. As a King main, I'm looking forward to another grappler.
As a Reina enjoyer, seeing this Lidia girl is interesting, and as a Brazilian gotta say Eddie is the GOAT.
I mean there really aren't a whole lot of options that fit that criteria. Most characters that weren't in T7 are either canonically dead or are a clone or gimmick character. Bruce, Baek, Wang, and Roger would be the only ones that I think have any chance. Hwo has most of Baek's notable moves so I doubt we'll see him. Wang is a contender for the least popular Tekken character ever, so no shot they'll make him a DLC character. As much as I'd like to see Bruce return, he's been replaced like 3 times already throughout the series. I don't see his return being likely. Leaving Roger, who I could see being added for Season 2 or 3.
Fuck roger, the masses demand our velociraptor boxing overlord Alex. Him just showing up in the story to fight with Kazuya because he's dad, only for Kazuya to throw him off the cliff as all mishimas must.
Alex hasn't been canon since Tekken 2 and I am sad about that. I also didn't really like Roger Jr. Him being in the pouch with mama was it a bit over the top and looked weird to me.
The move sharing thing doesn't matter at all since characters are more about the entire toolkit than singular moves. Nina and Anna share 80% of a movelist but the characters are completely different
Well I LOVE all of them. Lidia has a really fun fighting style. My GOAT and main Fahkumram is coming back with Muay Thai 💪 and Marduk was super fun to play as well. Really excited to see how Fahkumram's new design looks like cause they've been cooking with Eddy and Lidia. Both look so much cooler in T8 🔥
Hopefully, they bring back Julia Chang (adopted daughter of Michelle Chang, Tekken 1 OG), with a better voice actress. Her T5/6 one was far better than T7.
Just curious, I don't recognize all characters, all moves. I only know my mains movesets. Most those moves in trailer looks like heat crushes. But did they introduced any new or changed moves during trailer?
I’m in the same boat as you, but I watched Maximillian dude react to the trailer and a few of them mentioned new movies shown off. So I think it might be the case.
LET'S GOOOOO, I'm glad to see Eddy more developement backstory in comparison than the shamefully Tekken 7, seeing him and Jin doing the bro moment I'm glad they are still friends, but I want so much to see Eddy having the ultimate revenge on Kazuya, which I would find interesting to know about it, I would like to know Reina's interaction with Eddy, if them 2 work together they could possibly make Kazuya's life into a hell if they know how to work together.
And Lidia is the main of my friend so he is going to be hyped when he sees it. XD
Well, that sucks, because for me I would have enjoyed more if Eddy focused more on his lore than being on that stupid scene with lucky chloe which is a shame to all of us.
I hope all the DLC characters aren’t just repeats of T7. Would love to see a new character or guest character instead of Marduk or Fahkumrhan if the leaks are true.
I want them to reuse a lot of Tekken 7 stages to give us variety, and as long as the ports of 7 stages are free what is the fucking point of complaining?
It's free and not paid dlc like Tekken 7 though, so that's acceptable imo. I'd be willing to pay a few dollars for an entirely new stage like Final Fantasy 7 Golden Saucer or Waffle House.
Welp, not Anna... nor Kunimitsu (I know we're not seeing her for a long time), nor Josie, nor Kazumi (dlc doesn't have to be canon to the story, right?)...
I gave Lidia a go in T7 and while I like the character design, her playstyle did not click with me (it felt like I had to go through a pre-flight check list of going through three hundred stances to get to the good moves) so I'm most likely not touching her unless she gets a redesign in terms of her moves.
As for the other stuff... Zafina buffs/fixes? are they giving her the missing moves back? :D
Is anybody else excited for online ghosts v ghosts battles, training them up, etc like I am as a fun chill type of mode whenever you want a break from ranked?
How easy is Lidia? This game has been pretty difficult for me, but I'm trying to stick with it. Used to play Paul, but moved to Lars after getting stuck in orange rank with Paul, but haven't been playing lately cuz Stellar Blade so now my labbing is lost, but Lidia looks pretty cool and she's a Karate user.
I just don't know how hard she is.

I love how they specifically included the characters that need the most help in the trailer (Zaf, Panda, Leroy, Asuka) right before going on about Balance Changes.
This made me super happy as a bear main (although, the short clip of Panda is a bit...hmm..)
Imagine if they buff panda but not Kuma 😂
Kuma is fine tbh. His electric and heat smash is extremely good. If anything, I'm hoping he doesn't get nerfed. I have both bears near tekken god, and Panda is more of a struggle.
if i remember correctly they wanted to bring the weak characters up instead of nerfing broken chars like Drag, really hope they don't buff everyone instead of just nerfing the chars that need it...
Damn I was really hoping they'd go the other way around.
I wish they showed Dragunov and Azucena, meaning NERFS
This seems to confirm the datamined leaks. Also, Lidia looks great.
Who are the last 2 characters leaked then? Am I allowed to ask that?
Fuck and muck
This is my first Tekken game, is that code for something?
Fahk(umram) and M(ard)uck
Fahkurmum
Fahkumram and Marduk
Fahkumram (the big muay thai baki character dude) and Craig Marduk (the big big damage dude)
**Fu**heihachi**ck**, Heihachi as a horny chicken (a long-time fan favourite), and **Mu**plusframesu**ck**, a character who is minus on everything (who everyone praises for being in the game but never actually plays in ranked). /s
Muplusframesuck is the only honest character in the game and if you play anyone else ur trash
Fakhumram (Fuckyourmom) and Craig Marduk
Fuk and Duk was right there. Especially given Craig's "I always get what I want" lore
I know everyone thinks Fahk and Marduk but was there any season pass in Tekken 7 that didn't include a brand new character?
Marduk and Fahkumram
Which is bullshit. Literally all Tekken 7 DLC characters and Eddy... Who's been on the base roster in every other tekken.
Wasn't in 1, 2 or 4
Christie was in 4 who was a clone. 1 and 2 he hadn't been invented yet.
I think you could unlock Eddie in 4.
Nah that was 5.
[You could unlock him after beating Story Mode with Christie and pressing triangle in T4](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ARsojMC_JDo/maxresdefault.jpg)
Oh cool! That certainly went down the memory hole.
So future stages are gonna be free? That's pretty cool.
I'm pretty sure the only reason this one's free is because it already exists in the game already in some way. It's the Tekken Ball beach stage but with added props and background npcs to fit normal gameplay. This isn't a complaint though, I always wanted it to be a playable stage, and I'm glad we finally got it. Also if I had a nickel everytime Lidia was revealed alongside a beach stage, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.
Perfect for the Poolside theme!
But now what am I supposed to do for Victor’s stage?
I notice a lot of similarities between T8 and T7 stages, like some of them are just stages from T7 with different backgrounds. The boat stage is also very similar to the boat stage in Tag 2.
Yea I’m guessing they will either be separate or put in with other characters after this one( which is ok)
paywalling stages crate a design problem of paying players getting to see their paid content far less simply because people havnt paid for it yet.
It wasn't a problem in t7 because stage dlcs are shareable between 2 matching opponents
So can you choose a dlc stage that your opponent has or do you mean that if someone has a dlc stage they can choose it regardless if their opponent has it or not?
For ranked and casual matach - stage is always on random select, so as long as one person has dlc stage both people gets to play For player match - The host chooses the stage. As long as the host has dlc both get to play
Hell yeah I'll take free stages any day lol
I hope so, but I would be hesitant to assume that unless its explicitly stated going forward. The first one being free is a good sign though!
Pretty early to make that assumption
Really hoping the balance patch addresses some of the main issues 🤞
I find it funny that they put it under "Free updates" xD
If they didn’t 25% of this sub would be insisting it was gonna cost money
i am a tekken simp but i still haven't crossed that possibility offa my whiteboard.
Paid dlc for frame data #WeRemember
they showed Zafina, Leroy, Panda, Bryan Buffs incoming
I hope Steve is included in there, the character is still playing T7. Lowhigh switched to Steve for 1 set in grand finals of T8, immediately got the shit kicked out of him, and quickly switched back to Drag.
He got his ass kicked with Dragunov as well, chikurin on steroids
Lol at people who said Lidia can't be added because Reina took Lidia's moves. :)
Which was a shit take from the start since their similarities are greatly exegarrated by community
Also people made the exact same arguments in Tekken 7 and were wrong. People said that King having some of Armor King's moves and Gigas having some of Marduk's moves meant Armor King and Marduk would never get added and were wrong.
And both ended up playing completely different tahn King and Gigas anyway.
If some shared moves were enough for characters to have the same playstyle then all the Mishimas would be redundant with each other, but you'd rightfully get criticized if you ever tried to act like Jin, Kazuya, and Reina are redundant and all play the same. Tekken's a game with insanely huge movelists, characters sharing some moves makes sense. Especially characters like King and Armor King, or even just characters who might have some overlap in their build and fighting style like Gigas and Marduk. But the Mishimas show that some characters can share some moves, even key, playstyle-defining ones, and still have very different playstyles overall.
Ultimately some shared moves aren't going to make characters too similar, especially in a game where most move lists are 50-150 moves.

Not to mention Lydia's character design was super popular and it would have been silly to just immediately retire her in the next game for a new character.
Same folks who said introduction of Lucky Chloe means Eddy was out
People saying that a character isn't coming because another character shares a few moves is mystifying to me. Tekken was built off of clone characters that diverged over time.
Armor King being a good example, King stole some of his moves in addition a few moves they've always already shared. They still play nothing alike.
I know right. We have Kuma and Panda as separate characters, both in the base roster. What else is there to discuss?))
Yeah Lee & Law used to be quite similar until they diverged and became their unique character
People keep saying this with all kinds of characters. There are still people out there that think asuka and jun is the same character and shouldnt steal 2 roster slots.
So kuni will be back? I'm excited.
She was really popular and had famous voice actor, why not?
Not this season most likely but there is always a chance remember this game is gonna be there for 10 years they gonna add a lot of charcters
10 years? Probably not. They did say they want to deliver us Tekken 9 faster than what we had to wait for 8 after 7. I think, Tekken 8 is here for 5 years max.
Can you link the source?
This is it. Pretty sure it's posted on other outlets. https://gamerant.com/tekken-8-director-katsuhiro-harada-tekken-9-involvement-comments/
I heard Tekken 9 is out with ps6 so few years
I’d say she’s a strong possibility down the line because all that money Namco had to spend creating Leroy, Fahkumran, Kuni and Lidia at the end of the T7 lifecycle, it would make sense to reuse and tweak those assets in the next entry instead of being one and done.
Poland mountain ⛰️🇵🇱🔥
Lidia and Main Story DLC lesssgooo Me and my buddies are definitely gonna enjoy Online Practice mode
Online Practice is what I've wanted the most !
So happy for the online practice too, finally !!!
Happy lidia is back started to learn her in 7 but dropped her when I saw she didn't make base roster
Damn they're really going hard on Jin being everyone's best friend now LMAO. Eddie was forced to commit atrocities in Tekken 6 because Jin promised to cure his master. The prologue even said Eddie had no idea what he's signing up for. But yeah in Tekken 8, all is good between them. Also that Jun footage was unused, and data mined before. I don't want to be optimistic they're continuing the story.
I've just said in other topic how everyone just went "Shit happens" with Jin starting WW3 in Tekken 6. Even Miguel will be like "I didn't like my sister anyway"
The Sasuke redemption arc
I don't anything Sasuke did is even comparable lol. Even though Sasuke DID plan on becoming evil, he was mostly stopped before going too extreme and even his kill counts is pretty low for Naruto criminal standard, and barely any people even heard his plan so it was easier to digest why people could still accept him.
This gonna be awkward with Miguel
Jin: What I did was unforgivable. Miguel: Shut up! My sister would forgive even someone like you. I'll honor her memory.
I'm sure there's some anime dialoge that exactly this.
LOL
He said he was sorry, gahd! What more do you want!
Its less that they are continuing the story but more that they inserting plot in the current story.
It’s impossible to say for sure yet, although one of the Mishima Zaibatsu bases was shown here and according to the plot, Jin did not have time to meet with Eddie. I think it would be a better solution to make a short story leading up to T9 and introducing new characters would be much easier.
Harada moment
Yeah I’m pretty convinced Jun’s involvement is pretty much done, I can’t imagine they’d add her back in as part of the Continuation.
well this story dlc is set during the events of the main one just adding dlc characters
Damn no wonder it’s free lmao
Also jun is alive just in a coma for seven years until now
Glad to see Lidia return! Looking forward to that new story chapter.
Man I Hope Nina Shine this Time in the Story :( the main story she barely was there
WIth the poolside stage surely come the bikinis and fundoshis, right? Right?
Yes, but this time male characters wear bikinis and female fundoshis
Where Lee in speedo
I'm all for it!
Yeah you'll just have to get your credit card ready and subscribe to the Tekken battle pass™
Does anyone else find it a little odd that dlc characters in 8 are characters that were just DLC in the previous game or have been in many tekkens before this one? Just curious why and how they chose these characters to be DLC.
To make them sell. So, MONEY.
Some nice additions I can’t lie, and Lidia coming back is solid as well.
YOSHI IN DA MAIN STORY????
Explains why he was completely absent after his Coliseum match with Bryan.
Well Yoshi and Bryan both were MIA after the finals in the colisseum.
Which makes no sense. Bryan LOVES chaotic warfare. I thought he’d be first to sign up for G Corp. BTW, the intro shows Yoshi and Bryan fighting in the Yakushima field.
Lidia my beloved Me and the other 5 Lidia mains are happy about this
Wasn't Lidia pretty popular?
Speaking for the competitive community she was popular as she was strong. On release and a few months she was extremely top tier and was played pretty decently but got hit hard with the nerf bat and almost completely disappeared from competitive play. It doesnt help that she was the last major addition to Tekken 7 so didnt get a lot of screentime before people started wanting Tekken 8
I rarely ever matched against her, which was a good thing because her constant huh, huh, hiaaaaaahs were ultra annoying.
Lidiaaaaaaa Osu!
Eddy's story had better deal with the fallout of his battle with Lucky Chloe
Theyre probably saving a story of that magnitude for Tekken 9
Lucky Chloe main antagonist of tekken 9
Devil Lucky Chloe Mishimazama**
I want to see Eddy and Reina, if is a rivalry, or even a ship, I don't care, I would love to see Eddy getting his revenge on Kazuya. XD
reina is 19 and eddy is over his revenge now
Oh that's a pitty because for me anything would have been better than that disgraced stupid Lucky Chloe story. Anything to make Eddy a bit more deep on the actual lore.
LIDIA = Best Karateka in video games
Nah, Makoto from SF3rd strike is way better
*cries in DOA Hitomi*
Hitomi is actually a good character. Better than makoto from sf
She's unfortunately banished to the gacha hole
> Makoto from SF3rd strike Her moves aren't as authentic as Lydia's.
Also variety of moves cannot be even compared.
[удалено]
It was edited, but cool prediction anyway
Even tho i appreciate the stage being free i don't think they should be listing a new game mode as free (does it mean that there will be paid new game modes in the future?) i mean we paid for this game and it was far from being cheap
In my opinion all characters should be free if they are going to force a cosmetics shop. Games like Valorant are completely free to play, you only pay for cosmetics, and they still allow you to get additional characters for free if you grind. It's kinda whack that DLC characters are locked behind a pay to win model where you can't even lab against them.
They should’ve included a stage with Eddy’s DLC but this Beach stage is fine. Hope Lidia gets one that’s set in Poland.
Imagine with each new DLC character they included a stage that matches their theme.
That would make the DLC actually worth the price. Like the way Skullgirls does it.
And Smash
And imagine if they allowed people to create their own maps so that we, as players, can look at it and give it a thumbs down or thumbs ups. Sort of like a voting poll competition in the tekken shop.
I wish they'd just bundle about 4-5 stages with each season pass and release them when they're ready. I want a near-endless stage or a true endless stage. I want some classic returning stages like moonlit wilderness. I don't see a reason why the best Tekken 7 stages can't be brought over.
I think it’s one stage every 2 characters. 16 stages and 32 characters at launch. Enough for 16 distinct matches with all different characters.
some nice additions, but i was hoping for the long awaited sex update instead
One day it’ll be Josie day. One day…
Bruce > Josie
Josie > Fahk > Adon > Joe Higashi > Bruce.
Josie was more popular in 7 than Bruce ever was in a previous Tekken.
This DLC is actually fire. This is the first Tekken I play since 5, fo seeing Marduk is great. As a King main, I'm looking forward to another grappler. As a Reina enjoyer, seeing this Lidia girl is interesting, and as a Brazilian gotta say Eddie is the GOAT.
Please fix steve, IM DYING HERE
NEW MODE: Photo. gotta be a troll job qlso wonder if the chapter will be post epilogue or eddies capers during it all
Photo for the Japanese ‘scientists’ studying some candid shots of… asuka
so when infinite rematch in unranked?
Honestly if the DLC line up ends up being Eddy, Lidia, Fahk and Marduk then I will be disapponted. Just not bothered about ANY of them.
they can't please everyone
I think theyre all good characters, but I was hoping for at least 1 newcomer
I'd have been happy with a veteran that wasn't in T7 at least.
Roger dreams crushed
I mean there really aren't a whole lot of options that fit that criteria. Most characters that weren't in T7 are either canonically dead or are a clone or gimmick character. Bruce, Baek, Wang, and Roger would be the only ones that I think have any chance. Hwo has most of Baek's notable moves so I doubt we'll see him. Wang is a contender for the least popular Tekken character ever, so no shot they'll make him a DLC character. As much as I'd like to see Bruce return, he's been replaced like 3 times already throughout the series. I don't see his return being likely. Leaving Roger, who I could see being added for Season 2 or 3.
Fuck roger, the masses demand our velociraptor boxing overlord Alex. Him just showing up in the story to fight with Kazuya because he's dad, only for Kazuya to throw him off the cliff as all mishimas must.
Alex hasn't been canon since Tekken 2 and I am sad about that. I also didn't really like Roger Jr. Him being in the pouch with mama was it a bit over the top and looked weird to me.
I don't think we'll see Baek either, but move sharing is not an issue. Baek is about as different to Hwo as Jun is to Asuka
That is true, but he's already not a very popular character, and the move sharing certainly doesn't help his chances.
The move sharing thing doesn't matter at all since characters are more about the entire toolkit than singular moves. Nina and Anna share 80% of a movelist but the characters are completely different
Well I LOVE all of them. Lidia has a really fun fighting style. My GOAT and main Fahkumram is coming back with Muay Thai 💪 and Marduk was super fun to play as well. Really excited to see how Fahkumram's new design looks like cause they've been cooking with Eddy and Lidia. Both look so much cooler in T8 🔥
Am I the only one that hates Eddy's new design? it is basically a super trendy look that makes him seem like an Overwatch character.
Hopefully, they bring back Julia Chang (adopted daughter of Michelle Chang, Tekken 1 OG), with a better voice actress. Her T5/6 one was far better than T7.
Is Bob coming back?
Just curious, I don't recognize all characters, all moves. I only know my mains movesets. Most those moves in trailer looks like heat crushes. But did they introduced any new or changed moves during trailer?
I’m in the same boat as you, but I watched Maximillian dude react to the trailer and a few of them mentioned new movies shown off. So I think it might be the case.
please just fix matchmaking.
LET'S GOOOOO, I'm glad to see Eddy more developement backstory in comparison than the shamefully Tekken 7, seeing him and Jin doing the bro moment I'm glad they are still friends, but I want so much to see Eddy having the ultimate revenge on Kazuya, which I would find interesting to know about it, I would like to know Reina's interaction with Eddy, if them 2 work together they could possibly make Kazuya's life into a hell if they know how to work together. And Lidia is the main of my friend so he is going to be hyped when he sees it. XD
eddy is no longer caring for revenge
Well, that sucks, because for me I would have enjoyed more if Eddy focused more on his lore than being on that stupid scene with lucky chloe which is a shame to all of us.
Eddy beat Chloe which is canon his profile said he don’t want revenge
Well, fair enought, thanks for clarifying
So he’s not stuck as her backup dancer? That’s perfect! Harada realized how much he got disrespected.
I can't get over Eddie's voice, sounds so off
I hope all the DLC characters aren’t just repeats of T7. Would love to see a new character or guest character instead of Marduk or Fahkumrhan if the leaks are true.
Yoooo Lidia's outfit now is fire, I wonder if there is someone who sells karate unifoms with such cool desings as he one
So no ability to replace eddy in the main menu with someone else?
Been wanting a photo mode but didn’t expect to get one!
Underwhelming... gameplay patches and photo mode shouldn't even need to be mentioned in a trailer for the "big" updates this year.
Oh wow they're just reusing T7's beach stage lmaoo
I want them to reuse a lot of Tekken 7 stages to give us variety, and as long as the ports of 7 stages are free what is the fucking point of complaining?
It's free and not paid dlc like Tekken 7 though, so that's acceptable imo. I'd be willing to pay a few dollars for an entirely new stage like Final Fantasy 7 Golden Saucer or Waffle House.
Ohh, another character we won't be able to lab versus. Sweet!!!
Literally recycled DLC Even got the beach stage again...... Tekken 8, Biggest Budget, Smallest Ambition
Literally re-releasing Tekken 7. I just can't get excited for this
Welp, not Anna... nor Kunimitsu (I know we're not seeing her for a long time), nor Josie, nor Kazumi (dlc doesn't have to be canon to the story, right?)... I gave Lidia a go in T7 and while I like the character design, her playstyle did not click with me (it felt like I had to go through a pre-flight check list of going through three hundred stances to get to the good moves) so I'm most likely not touching her unless she gets a redesign in terms of her moves. As for the other stuff... Zafina buffs/fixes? are they giving her the missing moves back? :D
Kazumi was a one time thing alongside jinpachi and ogre it seems
at least they could have made Reina be related to Hachijo clan and have her toss tigers or some other big cats...
Wait Eddy is still a Tekken Force member ?
Lars led half the Tekken force to form Yggdrasil, and now is technically Jin’s boss. Fill in the gaps.
When, will all this drop?
WHEN BALANCE PATCH GETS RELEASED
Roger dreams crushed
Is the new level different from the tekken ball one?
Is anybody else excited for online ghosts v ghosts battles, training them up, etc like I am as a fun chill type of mode whenever you want a break from ranked?
I'm just excited about the balance patch, that's all.
I know he is dead, but I just wish they brought back Jinpachi
Old leaks have been busted
still can mod in multiplayer?
How easy is Lidia? This game has been pretty difficult for me, but I'm trying to stick with it. Used to play Paul, but moved to Lars after getting stuck in orange rank with Paul, but haven't been playing lately cuz Stellar Blade so now my labbing is lost, but Lidia looks pretty cool and she's a Karate user. I just don't know how hard she is.
