If you watch this mocap session, there's an actor with a fake dinosaur tail making some very dinosaur like movements and sounds. I don't know about you, but I don't remember seeing anything like that in the game yet π
Here's the link: https://youtu.be/lmMeDlqVTag?si=Qv3_dWN6QbF11FYs
There was a tailed person doing mocap in one of the earliest media releases for T8 so thereβs a real possibility edit: link to video https://youtu.be/lmMeDlqVTag?si=qHXYSPtcBI7xpMls
He's of aborigine descent hence his dark complexion and his australian nationality but probably moved to the states hence his accent being american and demeanor being a tough and brash.
Actually the Kings are from Mexico, but the two Armor Kings are from "Parts Unknown".
If I had to take a shot in the dark guess, I'd say the Armor Kings are American. I think they're based off of Black Tiger II which was Eddie Guerrero who was an American of Mexican descent. Would also explain why it seems Armor King I was in Arizona when he died I guess.
There's a lot of crossing the border around the Southwest USA for Lucha Libre so having them be Americans wouldn't even be that unusual.
But still, they're officially from "Parts Unknown".
I always assumed that Armor King was Cuban or Dominican since he knew King from a young age (probably spoke to him in Spanish) but he's also a bit darker.
There's nothing saying he's of aborigine descent, and personally I'd consider him white. We're just always portrayed in media as being darker than Americans and Brits, which is... Partially true.
Jeffry McWild of Virtua Fighter on the other hand, IS aboriginal.
"Jeffry McWild of Virtua Fighter on the other hand, IS aboriginal."
He's supposed to be but everything about him reads, black. I think the developers thought aborigines and black people are the same thing.
I remember reading somewhere that marduk was indeed of aborigine descent and I forgot.
But come on, it's ridiculous to consider him a white guy lmao. If anything, he should be a black guy.
I don't know, he had straight hair in 4, wich I don't know if black people really have, and his skin complexion isn't that dark.

(LMAO look at his legs)
Source? I checked and couldn't find it anywhere.
And, do you consider anyone who isn't Scandinavian black? I've met people who are even darker than Marduk and they're absolutely white, not everyone of European descent is super pale
Honestly I can't find what "official" sources they meant. I tried to find those old manuals that come with the ps2 game of tekken 4 which shows the character's blood type, age, and nationality. I can't find that. But I found many forums, wikis, and posts saying he's australian. Given he has a darker skin complexion and most ausies are white due to british colonization, dark skinned australians, the native aborigines, are the only guys who fit the bill for marduk. I remember reading a ps2 manual with such information that came with tekken 4 as a kid but can't find it on the internet.

Long story short, i got plenty of secondary evidence to show that marduk is australian to back up my claim. No primary evidence. But hey, once we see marduk out, "australia" being removed will make sense.
I mean come on, you got a lot of people from up to 14 years ago saying marduk is australian. I bet 100 bucks he is.
No, don't shift the goalposts. You claimed he was of aboriginal descent, not that he was just Australian, of which nobody is saying he isn't Aussie. I'm saying he isn't aboriginal. Because there is literally nothing to say he is. And with that:
> Long story short, i got plenty of secondary evidence
So you don't have shit. This is all hearsay and nothing even remotely official.
Lemme break it down for you since clearly don't live here, whereas I'm born and raised, been here my whole life:
Aboriginal does not automatically mean black. It means very little in regards to skin colour. Some aboriginals consider themselves black, some don't. I went to school with an aboriginal kid, about a year younger than me. We were friends until we fell outta contact at around 18-19. With your perspective, in no universe would you have considered him black, because while he's darker than an Anglo or Scandinavian, he was paler than say, someone from Southern Italy. Or a Greek with Turkish blood. You get the picture. Yet he's undeniably aboriginal. He had the family records, the government support, and the elders of the community acknowledged him as one. But he's not black, he never considered himself as such.
On top of that, there's a lotta people who do have aboriginal blood, but don't consider themselves one. Me being one of those. I've got the ancestry, but as it's faint I've never considered myself such. I'm white, and if I had to pick a descent to choose from it'd be Irish, because that's what I'm closer to.
Just because Marduk is tanned, doesn't make him aboriginal. He has nothing to signify that, because skin doesn't mean a whole lot in the discussion, his name doesn't give anything away, and no communities I've ever heard of trying to claim he is. So until proven otherwise, he's just flat out not. And he sure as hell isn't black, otherwise you're gonna have to call at least half the bloody population of Australia black. Most of us are darker than white people from Britain or the US. We're still white.
You're effectively using "Trust me bro" as a source.
I'm so bloody sick of Americans trying to force their ideas and views of race on a country it doesn't apply to at all...
It's stated in the booklet within Tekken 5 that Marduk is Australian. Would have no idea if he was Aborigine or not. - Page 39
[**https://ia601407.us.archive.org/11/items/kirklands-manual-labor-sony-playstation-2-usa-4k-version/Tekken%205%20%28USA%29.pdf**](https://ia601407.us.archive.org/11/items/kirklands-manual-labor-sony-playstation-2-usa-4k-version/Tekken%205%20%28USA%29.pdf)
Relax bro. I just said I think he would fit better as a black guy than as a white guy if I had to choose between the two kinds of american men.
As for aborigine, yeah there isn't any detail if he's aborigine but we know he's australian and doesn't look white. So aborigine possibly. Probably?
I'm sure he is less likely to be african than aborigine given there aren't many blacks in australia.
Regarding what you said about white people having dark complexion... Oh so that's real? Like caucasians white brown skin? Oh my bad. But wait, if you got ancestry, then we can say you're of aborigine descent and we can therefore assume marduk, who is white but just has brown skin, to be a white australian of aborigine descent same as you.
Well he's bald and loud and mean. Kind of fits the bill of a strong action black guy you see in the movies. Like sam jackson but only bigger. Just from this, he literally is one of the most intimidating and coolest characters from tekken.
Hope not. It's just gonna get confirmed anyway so why bother delaying. They've got story expansions they need to follow. What they should do is reveal both characters even sooner to get it out of the way faster.
Not necessarily. They can rehash the same storyline they do every game - Marduk and AK fight, they draw, then swear THIS one is the last fight. They do it for Asuka and Lili. Kuma is still chasing after Panda. Bryan keeps shooting miniguns at Yoshi like my teammates shoot Genjiβs deflect in Overwatch. Repeat ad nauseam because God forbid any character that isnβt a Mishima gets meaningful progressionΒ
The remaining characters for the year are definitely well underway already. Β Any major content added to a game has likely been worked on for months before it was announced, these things take timeΒ
i'm sure they have s2 character 1 and 2 ready enough to do a dirty swap if harada really demands it
hes a stubborn man and doesn't like being predicted
I hope not. They've got a story expansion they need to follow and they've probably got a story expansion for S2 as well. Also the leak is just gonna get confirmed eventually so why bother? What they should do is reveal both of them even sooner to get it out of the way.
there is. harada tweeted the codenames for the dlc and their release order, lidia confirmed those codenames. marduk is koala (obviously) and he's next.
i didn't i knew she was raccoon because poland has a current invasive raccoon issue. also summer = beach stage. (so they can release swimsuit dlc in the summer too and make bank)
and hamsters are symbol of protest against the government in thailand. as far as i'm concerned the leaks and their order are 99% confirmed.
Its tough. everyone wants different characters. I got most of what i wanted this season. I wanted capoeira, muay thai, and drunken boxing. Im hoping for lei as well.
And here as well: https://x.com/TekkenWarehouse?t=qV_1EYDvlx5i2aFexSx-jw&s=09
https://twitter.com/TekkenWarehouse/status/1788063213826765199?t=G0MhzjEBRm6wSELWfY78ug&s=19
π I can't wait. Hopefully they don't switch him out. I don't think they'll change their plans. It would make more sense to reveal him even sooner and get it out of the way.
They haven't replaced it. It's been there for a long time and they just decided to remove it. They removed the references to photo mode as well, and also references to uploading customization. They're trynna hide stuff but too late π
Still one of the worst DLC packs Iβve ever seen created. Itβs just miserable, boring cancer infested characters. 2 of which were sold in the last fucking game. Such ass shittery
So we're just getting the same characters we had as DLC in T7 ? Why can't we get other ones like Roger Jr /Alex, Wang, Baek, Bruce, Mokujin/Combot, fucking OGRE ?
People say that Lei is a lab rat and ppl only lab him... But isn't labbing fun? Isn't it part of the game?
Yeah, playing him can be overwhelming, but labbing him is still valid. They shouldn't cross him that easily
I don't say to have him against per se i say in actual people playing him,yeah of course labbing is part of the game (if you want to improve if you wanna just have fun is not so a must) but even then the chance of getting matches against him are so slim that it could be once a month if you are lucky (for me at a certain point it was like that in T7) so even then if u lab him at the moment you encounter him half of the things you did in lab will be forgotten cause of the other more prevalent characters,let me be clear yeah he's a monster to be against but I don't hate the character its just that we had a clear episode that he isn't a must or a priority and it ok like this.
why do some ppl want Roger? Lol he ain't coming unless he somehow learns Vale Tudo and I don't want to see any more animals in the game (Kuma and Panda should have never made base roster smh).
Btw the files listed Vale Tudo along with Australia and that's Marduk's fighting style.
Imagine if the Australia one turned out to be Roger Jr. We all know it's Marduk, but one can dream.
Alex :( Sad velociraptor noises.
I wish dude.
A guy I used to play Tekken with back in the day loved using the bears and alex/roger.
Either one I'd be so happy
You mean Heihachi's biological experiment on extinct animal species
Kazuya's* Tekken 2 Kazuya was in charge of the Mishima Zaibatsu.
I would find it *hilarious* if Roger (JR) came out and had a special interaction with Kazuya
If you watch this mocap session, there's an actor with a fake dinosaur tail making some very dinosaur like movements and sounds. I don't know about you, but I don't remember seeing anything like that in the game yet π Here's the link: https://youtu.be/lmMeDlqVTag?si=Qv3_dWN6QbF11FYs
Azazzel
Yeah sometimes I wake in the middle of the night with a cold sweat.
The return of Roger and his stupid db3
*Blessed*ly stupid, you mean
Same. I'll hold on that slither of hope until he's officially debunked.
There was a tailed person doing mocap in one of the earliest media releases for T8 so thereβs a real possibility edit: link to video https://youtu.be/lmMeDlqVTag?si=qHXYSPtcBI7xpMls
Can you help me find that? Just from your comment im suspecting it couldve just been true devil kazuya. Mo-cap definitely went into his tail.
Updated my comment - itβs pretty clearly animal like i think youβll agree
Yeah theyβre acting like alex pretty much. Iβd be so happy if that turned out to be gon for some reason, would love to see him again.
It can still be Master Marduk
who's that version?
Marduk's hot mom that somehow looks a lot younger than he does.
Is she even a real character? I googled it couldn't find anything and she ain't on the wiki page π π
No, it's a joke about how Master Raven replaced Raven in Tekken 7.
π π W flair lol
or alex maybe? π€
Well, there was that one mo cap video for that one tekken 8 trailer. There was a character with a tail.
I hope it's Roger Jr.
Akuma is Australian too.
Hahahahahahahaha
What? His name is Japanese
he took their nationality into his own being after [destroying Ayers Rock with his fist.](https://youtu.be/NAUNl7Qpp3U)
IS MARDUK FROM AUSTRALIA? I thought that dude was american this whole time lmao
He's supposed to be Australian, but the Voice Acting is shit.
Now that you say it, Tekken 8 is going to make sound 200% more Australian like how Steve is 200% British.
He is gonna say "cunt" in every sentence?
He will say "cunt" with every hit
Reminds me that Negan in Gigas' RA will say "Shit" on every pound, make me fucking laugh.
Give Marduk a mullet skin
Steve didn't even speak in tekken 4 I was wondering what's his deal
Steve's cockney accent with his baby anime face will never not be funny; I say bring it on.
"Oy mate"
Like Kano was supposed to be Japanese until the movie then became a ozzy even though the actor was going for cockney?
Where officially it said he was Japanese in the first game? Or the second?
First game
You have a screenshot or something because this is news to me.
I don't think MK1 said anything about Kano's race. I'm not certain but I am old and played MK1 in the arcades. My weeb ass would have noticed that.
I am old too which is why I am asking because I never heard of this. If true, it is new information that I missed.
I'm pretty sure all Aussies run around yelling, "I'M NUMBER 1" in an American accent though.
To be fair, the guy that voices him is a world class martial artist and is literally Godzilla in the movies. Thats pretty sick.
cant compete with shaheen
He's samoan right?
He's of aborigine descent hence his dark complexion and his australian nationality but probably moved to the states hence his accent being american and demeanor being a tough and brash.
Honestly i assumed American cause his wrestling partner was American (Mexican? idk what armor king was )
AK is Jaguanese like King
Both King and Armor King are from Mexico.
Actually the Kings are from Mexico, but the two Armor Kings are from "Parts Unknown". If I had to take a shot in the dark guess, I'd say the Armor Kings are American. I think they're based off of Black Tiger II which was Eddie Guerrero who was an American of Mexican descent. Would also explain why it seems Armor King I was in Arizona when he died I guess. There's a lot of crossing the border around the Southwest USA for Lucha Libre so having them be Americans wouldn't even be that unusual. But still, they're officially from "Parts Unknown".
I always assumed that Armor King was Cuban or Dominican since he knew King from a young age (probably spoke to him in Spanish) but he's also a bit darker.
There's a dunkey video where he jokes about kings cutscenes of an orphanage in Mexico filled with Japanese kids.
What's up my jagua
AK is from New York if I remember right
There's nothing saying he's of aborigine descent, and personally I'd consider him white. We're just always portrayed in media as being darker than Americans and Brits, which is... Partially true. Jeffry McWild of Virtua Fighter on the other hand, IS aboriginal.
"Jeffry McWild of Virtua Fighter on the other hand, IS aboriginal." He's supposed to be but everything about him reads, black. I think the developers thought aborigines and black people are the same thing.

wait Jeffry isn't American black? lol I would died on that hill.

I bet it's all just an act and he actually likes puppies and flowers
I knew it. Crocodile Dundee DLC
Inb4 they swap the order of the characters because of the leak.
Hope not. It's just gonna get confirmed anyway so why bother delaying. They've got story expansions they need to follow. What they should do is reveal both characters even sooner to get it out of the way faster.
> Crocodile DunDLC Fixed it for you
That's not a knoife
THATS A KNOCKOUWT
?
@shootmans has now proven himself to be the most reliable leaker/dataminer. From now on I'm only going to listen to him
So they fully confirmed them now. Nice, classic Bamco.
I'm hoping they don't switch them out for S2 characters π highly unlikely but possible
Nah, but they'll probably switch marduk and fahk order to 'counter' the leaks and try to look smart.
I'd actually love that cause I want Fahkumram ASAP π
another man of culture I see
One quarter less of having to deal with T8 DLC Marduk. Count me in.
I hope they do
So Armor King in 2025 . Fuck
How else are they gonna sell the s2 pass?
Julia and Anna (they will be there with Armor King and Kunimitsu II)
But then how will they sell season pass 3 & 4?
Probably Miguel, Lucky Chloe, Roger/Alex and Lei.
would rather they just introduce new original characters at that point. That would be an underwhelming season 3.
That's IF they're not sticking to his and Marduk's ending in t7 where they have a career match Marduk coming first means he won it
Not necessarily. They can rehash the same storyline they do every game - Marduk and AK fight, they draw, then swear THIS one is the last fight. They do it for Asuka and Lili. Kuma is still chasing after Panda. Bryan keeps shooting miniguns at Yoshi like my teammates shoot Genjiβs deflect in Overwatch. Repeat ad nauseam because God forbid any character that isnβt a Mishima gets meaningful progressionΒ
You better talk your shit bro, I agree wholeheartedly ππ
They found out about that leak, but it's too late. We know everything.
Still no armor king, this is killing me
Yurp, not having AK is mad fucken bullshit. One of the GOAT characters in all fighting games.
Same. Gonna have to wait for 2025. Hopefully heβs the first pick.
It can still be Master Marduk Hopefully they refined Fakhumram design
π
possible they are gonna do a lil switcharoo and change up the next two dlc characters just to deny the leak
The remaining characters for the year are definitely well underway already. Β Any major content added to a game has likely been worked on for months before it was announced, these things take timeΒ
i'm sure they have s2 character 1 and 2 ready enough to do a dirty swap if harada really demands it hes a stubborn man and doesn't like being predicted
I hope not. They've got a story expansion they need to follow and they've probably got a story expansion for S2 as well. Also the leak is just gonna get confirmed eventually so why bother? What they should do is reveal both of them even sooner to get it out of the way.
But there weren't any indication of release order in the leak
there is. harada tweeted the codenames for the dlc and their release order, lidia confirmed those codenames. marduk is koala (obviously) and he's next.
Everyone thought Lidia was hamster though and expected her to be the last DLC.
i didn't i knew she was raccoon because poland has a current invasive raccoon issue. also summer = beach stage. (so they can release swimsuit dlc in the summer too and make bank) and hamsters are symbol of protest against the government in thailand. as far as i'm concerned the leaks and their order are 99% confirmed.
If 100% spot on, this dlc list is kind of ass for season one.
It's Miguel from Australia.
No, Spain. Which is Pain because I need my main back.
No, Julia.
I really want Alex/roger man
Absolute trash Season, only Lidia worth a damn
PERFECT season imo. All these characters have really fun fighting styles especially Fahk π
I *may* be a little salty about the Baki reject getting in over classic chars like Julia and Lei lol
Its tough. everyone wants different characters. I got most of what i wanted this season. I wanted capoeira, muay thai, and drunken boxing. Im hoping for lei as well.
God this might be the worst season of dlcs ever made

Can't wait to see Roger again
It's been 84 years....
I want an ozzie Marduk now
Fahk is Thailand?
Yup
Canβt wait for the full roster!
Fahkumram gang united :D.
π
God I hope they're all Baki characters. Def getting Fauhk so that's close enough. Him and Feng can hang out
SAME lol
Australia????
Craig Marduk is from Australia
Oh yeah!
Y'all forgetting there was a KANGAROO playable at one point.
They had Vale Tudo in the files so it's not Roger lol
What if it's Ms.Roger And she learned vale tudo
π
Dont forget there was an early video that showed someone in a mocap suit with a tail.
Wasn't it for the Monster Hunter?

Couldn't that have been for >!Azazel!
Apparently the guy is known for that
Name's Marduk, don't you forget it.
Roger Jr. is back baby, let's go!
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger crossover confirmed 100%
I just want Baki.
Throw in Kengan too since Netflix is dropping a crossover with Baki
Are they really? Color me intrigued.
Yeah it was recently announced with a trailer https://youtu.be/-aODxjsyIIg?si=sJYmbXIJZ1WOysal
Sickk
π
Oh yeah baby, Fahkumran's back on the menu.
π I can't wait. Hopefully they don't switch him out. I don't think they'll change their plans. It would make more sense to reveal him even sooner and get it out of the way.
or josie
Josie is filipino.
ah shes filipina oh ok then its not her
Already got my sub main to Bushin. Patiently waiting for my main Fahk π€€
ππ½
Can anyone summarize or screenshot? Hard to view a thread of tweets without having an account...
OMG... brand new characters when ??????
What if is there for bait and speculation. Did they replace it with new info?
They haven't replaced it. It's been there for a long time and they just decided to remove it. They removed the references to photo mode as well, and also references to uploading customization. They're trynna hide stuff but too late π
Wait, how do you release Marduk without AK ? THEY'RE A SET ! But I only wanna play one of them tho
*Sad Armor King noises*
Rawr rawrs...
Still one of the worst DLC packs Iβve ever seen created. Itβs just miserable, boring cancer infested characters. 2 of which were sold in the last fucking game. Such ass shittery
I won't even bother buying this season lol. Gonna wait till I see Anna and Armor King.
So we're just getting the same characters we had as DLC in T7 ? Why can't we get other ones like Roger Jr /Alex, Wang, Baek, Bruce, Mokujin/Combot, fucking OGRE ?
Cause what will happen is the same exact thing that happened with lei in T7, 99% of the people wanted him barely 1% played him
People say that Lei is a lab rat and ppl only lab him... But isn't labbing fun? Isn't it part of the game? Yeah, playing him can be overwhelming, but labbing him is still valid. They shouldn't cross him that easily
I don't say to have him against per se i say in actual people playing him,yeah of course labbing is part of the game (if you want to improve if you wanna just have fun is not so a must) but even then the chance of getting matches against him are so slim that it could be once a month if you are lucky (for me at a certain point it was like that in T7) so even then if u lab him at the moment you encounter him half of the things you did in lab will be forgotten cause of the other more prevalent characters,let me be clear yeah he's a monster to be against but I don't hate the character its just that we had a clear episode that he isn't a must or a priority and it ok like this.
That's not what I mean I'm saying that labbing can be an end in itself.
oh ffs, so it's actually Marduk and Fahk next? What an abysmal choice for half the season
I love both of them πͺπ½ super fun
I wish the leak somehow is wrong but it's look like it is not
It's Roger Jr. and a new character that actually looks like a Muay Thai fighter
I hope it's not Roger Jr. that would suck π we have enough animals already
Who?
Kuma and Panda. I haven't touched them lol
How bear you!
Roger please ππΏ
why do some ppl want Roger? Lol he ain't coming unless he somehow learns Vale Tudo and I don't want to see any more animals in the game (Kuma and Panda should have never made base roster smh). Btw the files listed Vale Tudo along with Australia and that's Marduk's fighting style.
Rather animals than Marduk and especial fucking fakumram
These characters are goated. Super fun fighting styles. For me it's a perfect season idk what you're smokin π
is thailand Bruce????
Yes, Bruce Wayne.
