Tekken 8

"You thought some measly LAVA could kill me?!"

To Mishimas, a dip in the lava is like an onsen to them.  That's why Heihachi's gi remains fresh.

Talk has been a little sparse. Here's some videos, including the last dlc character who is a guest that I personally dont really like that much.

Why is Miguel suddenly a demon summoning flame sword triggering element spellcasting wizard not-wizard...guy?

What?

[SkySplitters]

Why is Miguel suddenly a demon summoning flame sword triggering element spellcasting wizard not-wizard...guy?

What?

In game lore explains it as: "on the 10th anniversary of Miguel's sisters death, she appeared in front of him, symbolized by a phoenix. She told him that she wanted him to live on for her, and grant her extra power as a reborn. Thus Miguel changed his name to Clive and continued his quest to take down Jin Kazama".

See that's why guest characters are good, it helps those little indie franchise get a bit of recognition.

Ngl when i first saw him i was really really disappointed at first but now when i rewatch it. It was uhm hm its hard to say about him cuz i will say he is cool but he doesn't fit at all, he fits from the soul calibur ngl. And FF 16 holy crack i have never saw this game last year holy crack and all ik is FF 7 remake n that was it lol XD man im terrible to know this franchise. But Now my Final Verdict is "he is okay but i'm worried he is going to be hated, but it is what it is".

She's hella back <3

[Rabano]

ah yes, midlife crisis Anna

[Kirishima]

While I do love Anna's gameplay changes into using more explosives, what's with that hair?  Why must Harada keep giving legacy characters completely new makeovers to the point that they don't look like themselves anymore

That Rage Art is on point tho.

(Gonna laugh if Armor King is included in this pass and he is suddenly a mutated Dragon just because)

Yeah I don't see what's wrong with the hair.

Recently revealed at EVO Japan, the next wave of the Tekken 8 apology tour roadmap content has been revealed.  From balance adjustments, to ghost battle updates, to a new stage based on PAC-MAN, to a collab with Karate Kid Legends, to Dragunov and Kuma/Panda getting back their old outfits, tho in the latter's case, they wear nothing like in Tekken 2.

Finally, Fah returns.  Joy.

[FeLo_Llop]

What we fans expected: Balanced patch FR, cohesive stuff, loved characters, more customization.

What we get: paid content, more paid content, paid content, not-suitable-for-epileptic-people stage and an over-designed character who now wears a crown.


Just terrible :/

Sooooo true!

[Rabano]

I don't like that half the DLC so far is Tekken 7 DLC

[Kirishima]

If they are gonna go through all this trouble making this thing matter over fan favorites, at least remix his theme.

Also.....

Idk I like fahk, I do understand why people didn't want him in this game but I don't really know why you would say that he has no fans at all. I'm not really big on how the tekken team is handling things but to say nobody likes him when there are people like me who actually do like him is a bit disingenuous.

I feel like the game could benefit from having more original characters rather than just pulling from the laundry list of characters already available. The base game only really had three OCs, being azucena, victor (noctis semi-clone), and reina (a new mishima), and pretty much all of season 1 + what's going on with season 2 only really seems to be characters from past games. I know there are probably quite a few characters people would want to see in the game, such as josie for example, but I kinda feel like the lack of introducing anyone new is only really hurting it more than doing any good, and I don't really feel like bringing back everyone from past games would make anyone happy with the game as it is now. As stevenB said earlier into the thread, before the game came out:

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.

[Rabano]

Anna and Armor King in the same DLC Season... again...

Honestly I can't believe there's a game with worst DLC seasons than MK1

[Retro Respecter]

Hold on tight. I am sure another fighting game will dissappoint with their DLC season. 

[Seadragon77]

The problem with having more new and original characters is that there's always a chance that the new character flops right off the bat. That's why the DLC roster has been either legacy characters or popular characters from 7's DLC run.

With the last character of Season 2 being a new character, there's hope that things could change. As it stands, though... yeah, kind of hard to justify their thought process here.

[Kirishima]

New trailer demonstrating Armor King's upgrades and changes since his last appearance.  He arrives with familiar wrestling moves to enhanced ones with his fire breath.

At the end of the trailer, we stee the last character for this season, revealing to be a new character called Miary Zo that also comes with a new stage.  Given the special effects used, expect her to have some ice motif or something.  Not quite sold on her yet.
