Tekken 8

[StevenB]

I'm personally not super big on Tekken (yet) but I gotta say from how they are building this up it really comes across as just Tekken 7 Part 2. Especially in this current gen of fighters of Street Fighter 6 or Guilty Gear Strive where each new game felt like a significant step in roster and character designs.

Yoshimitsu, Alisa, and Steve were no brainers.

Raven is back and not Master Raven.  Shaheen is surprisingly back.  Zafina also returning.

Roster is not yet complete.

The first three names make a lot of sense, especially Alisa since she's part of whatever plans Lars has cooked up; Yoshimitsu stills has beef with Bryan and Steve... well, I think they have something for him.

Raven coming back is a surprise. Maybe he had something else going on during Tekken 7. Shaheen still has issues with Kazuya and Zafina might be the series' answer to Rose in Street Fighter: The character who sees the end of the world.

I think there was a special on the NHK (Japanese television station) about the way the game was handling motion captures, and some of the footage showed someone with a sword, so that may have implicitly confirmed Yoshimitsu was gonna be in. Either that or people just assume he's gonna be in anyway because he's showed up in all of the other mainline games.

That aside I honestly agree with StevenB about how nothing really new or fresh has been shown off yet. Maybe Bamco is trying to play it safe or warm people up to the gameplay itself before revealing any of that? All of the other modern fighters started showing off new stuff after establishing themselves.

Spoiler: Next character reveals got leaked (click to show)

Raven and a new character, Azucena, was accidently spointed by the EU Bamco Division.  Full trailers have not been released yet.

[SquidlyPoli1]

Azucena's coffee gimmick is kinda funny but she's not exactly my favorite. It's nice to see a change of pace from just vets though.

Tekken is beautiful the stages are beautiful and Characters too, and now the seller coffee person + naru-blade.xD

[Kirishima]

Why is Noob Saibot in Tekken

[yaret]

in my opinon Blade was tranning with Naruto  yes those clone moves are from noob saibot 

[Byakko]

I'm not big on the coffee obsession (looks like one more character in the list that does one thing for the entire franchise, except this time they made it into a joke right off the bat) but the music isn't bad, that's a new style.

Tekken x Street fighter is still in developing or are they  going to bring one character from Street fighter to Tekken 8

Reveal Date Trailer from Gamescom ONL

Yes the thumbnail is about them doing yet another network test but I kinda want to focus on the character they revealed here more. I know he's pretty popular but I read somewhere about him dying at some point and thought he wouldnt be coming back. I guess I was wrong. He was also in tekken 7 and maybe this is playing into the point earlier about how this is kinda becoming tekken 7 part 2. I'm really hoping the drought of original content ends before the game launches in january (even though they couldve used a few more months to work on it), azucena was fine but she really wasnt enough due to being a bit too gimmicky.

Fun for All Into the Future

Important Tekken 8 reveal :

[Byakko]

I really like the ghost learning how you play to have you really fight yourself, and the replay training with suggestions on better follow-ups and punishes that you can test on the fly. In the same vein, I'm curious about the tutorial on steroids that is the arcade quest revolving around the player learning to play ??
I love that they went full force on trying to get newcomers to dive deeper into the gameplay. I suppose the hard part is balancing between learning the generic tools and game system, and each character's individual moves.

I knew Guilty Gear +R did something like this where you could jump into a replay spot (for whatever reason there's an MSX emulator that does this too) but I didnt think about the idea of them actually suggesting you better ways to fix your mistakes. That's honestly really cool and I definitely feel like it will help newer and less confident players (like me)

Say what you will about the Go Vacation looking lobbies but I personally really like them. That kind of style was probably what I wanted the most out of tekken 8 having that kind of lobby system (though traditional lobbies are still very optimal), only thing that would make me like them more is if they allowed you to play classic namco/banpresto games like the SF6 battle hub allows you to play classic capcom games.

Well, hiiii

WHY ON EARTH LEE CHANGED HIS EXXXXCELLENT FOR MAHVELOUSHHH?!

[SquidlyPoli1]

Next character reveals are on November 2nd and 12th

This reveal is honestly kind of a mixed bag. The characters from gamescom and Panda (from TGS) are here, Lee really should've shown up sooner if they were gonna have a roster of mostly vets, and Devil Jin being here honestly feels like a melee clone situation where they were tight on resources and just threw together whatever so they could pad a spot.

My personal favorite is Alisa but I honestly like her hairstyle from the older games a tad more than I do the new one... she does have a lot of appeal and I did think about how nobody really mugenized her proper a few days ago
