Tekken 8

Victor Escavalier preserving Noctis's gameplay is something I never had thought of.  Good for those that were former mains of Noctis I guess.

Makes me wonder if Bryan being a partial Negan function would have worked with his current gameplay.

Rumored to be a lost daughter of Heihachi.

This is definitely something we needed. I never really looked into Noctis in T7 (partially because I never actually played T7) but giving his gameplay to an older French secret agent is certainly an interesting concept.

...is the gun new? I only remember Noctis using the sword, if the gun is new then that means he's more of a semiclone than a direct clone. Maybe not even a semiclone because they were never really gonna bother Squenix about getting Noctis back in the first place.

I liked the stage, the theme song and even the design of the character. But mixing Kunimitsu, Setsuka from Soul Calibur and Noctis in one character is...terrible idea. Hell, even his fighting style was CQC, knifes are allowed, but long sword? teleport? da Hell is that? If Namco wanted tom make that thing, they'd better use the long lost Zoey(better known as sexy tekken force soldier), and put Savate to Victor(as French, etc, sorry Catalina/Katarina).

The spoiled name is "Reina", which goes wells because of two things:
- 1: YES, A Japanese name. I'm not sure if the correct name is Rena, but I read somewhere than Reina is correct too.
- 2: Because "Reina" in Spanish means QUEEN. And her father, Heihachi has been the KING of Iron Fist. So that has sense.

THIS SCREEN IS AROUND FROM AUGUST, AND PRETTY ACCURATE

Yeah, Yoshi, Lee and Victor make it hard to deny. It's nice that they're making new characters with legacy movesets, I've been wondering about what they'll do with that one. Didn't care for Noctis though.

Be honest

I absolutely love this design but something about her being a fill-in for heihachi doesnt feel right. I love the super where she just drags the opponent across the ground and that rage art...... mmmmmmmmmm

[FeLo_Llop]

I honestly expected her to fight like Heihachi, so his style would be present here too. But no, Namco choose Taido style instead. A clever movement, Harada! <3 !!

[Byakko]

Yeah I was also hoping for a bit more of Heihachi, and look, more spinning and spear kicks. But with that finisher, I wonder if she'll be more Jinpachi.
I really don't care for her entire design being "large jacket. That's it, that's the design." (Not counting the hair) I hope she has better alt costumes...

[senorfro]

I'm not feeling her aggressiveness, or design.  She kinda feels like a trope/cliche of being dominant without looking it.  Lidia Sobieska looks more imposing, but that's cause she looks/feels it.

[Macaulyn97]

I mean, let's be real, she is boring as fuck.

[SquidlyPoli1]

I made it quite apparent in my original post that I really like her... I like the big jacket and I'm personally all for a character that looks like that taking a more antagonistic and dominant persona. Maybe she isnt a great replacement for heihachi but she grew on me really fast. I never thought of her having some basis on jinpachi though, thats kinda funny since hes the one mishima they never actually want to bring back.

Dude, all your posts are this way. Could you be a bit positive?

[Retro Respecter]

This is Macaulyn97 we're talking about, so...nope.

I'm with Felo Llop.

Bears trailer to round up the rest of the cast.

EDDY WAKANDA FOREVER

Ya know had they not specified, I would have legit believed that was Kilmonger who somehow learned Capoeira as of means to survive in the Tekkenverse.

Cause that guy does not look like the OG Eddy at the slightest
