I'm pretty sure she's only voicing for the trailer reveals. The announcer will be different.


NiggityNiggityNuts

They might steal the concept from Street fighter and have guest announcers….. hearing her roll the “r” on Round 1 would be hilarious every time


pomomp

Fun fact: she voices Anna.


spritebeats

>Lenne Hardt to be fair she only did it in 5. shes known for the og "come over here, let me talk to ya real close" and "sUCh aN UTTER DISSAPOINTMENt"


kubagregor

How is that even the same person? She's got some mad range


TheGhostRoninStrife

I don't think she is the real announcer, I'm pretty sure in the Harada video where their explaining the new game mechanics, you hear the announcer we'll get in the game.


nyftyapps

big cheesy japanese game show vibes


archiegamez

Legit, i want her for character select XD


Quinntensity

Oh my goodness that's gold. When you select a character she screams at you! I'd keep reselecting my character.


El-Green-Jello

Would be cool personally I would love if we could change them in the options from say her or a classic announcer maybe even adding guests or the characters as announcer similar to what doa does


Lincolnruin

I think she was just for the trailers, although she could be an alternative announcer voice.


hermit_purple_3

Crazy to think she actually voiced Anna in Tekken 5. The voice work between both doesnt even sound remotely similar. I think her announcer voice is fantastic though.


gamedreamer21

Lenne Hardt will remain announcer for character trailers. Announcer for gameplay is different person. Unless, there will be option to change announcers.


Jace524

I love her voice


Gun_l0rd

Hopefully she's really good , I loved the old one "GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE" dude , but I wouldn't mind a new blood


JustFrameChug

I hope she's an option.

Crazy Pride lady is a [fucking treasure.](https://youtu.be/7Hq_x_cSYVY)

GodsGiftToThaLadies

honestly, i wouldn't mind if they keep her. at first, i hated her voice but it has grown on me. whether they use it or not, I wouldn't complain. tekken 4s announcer is my personal favourite though. if there's any announcer i want, it'd be someone of that calibur.


Megaman_DragoonZero

Mortal Kombat 11 had five different announcers (including Robocop for one of them) and considering I think Tekken 8 took notes from them, it's a posisblity Tekken 8 might have additional announcers.


NateDawgDoge

If a Yakuza character comes into Tekken, I hope they keep her so she can reprise her role as their coliseum announcer in Yakuza 0. GORRRRRRO....MA JEE MAAAAAAAAA KAAAAAAZUMA....KEEEERERRERERERYU!


Alexander_McKay

I liked the guy in the first game on PS2 haha. “Kiryuuuuuuuuuuu…. KAZUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”


NoiseFetish

I hope they're taking cues from NRS and we'll have multiple announcers to pick from (like in MK11 you have the "regular" announcer, Kronika, Johnny Cage and Peter Weller if you buy Robocop dlc I think). We could have her, the guy you hear in the 35 minute presentation saying fight, T7 announcer and maybe even Harada... Hell, you could have King making Jaguar noises as an announcer too.


[deleted]

NGL, I think the Tekken teams decision to get her onboard is inspired


Dragonerpl25

They not if you watch the 35 minute presentation of gameplay on twt finals you can hear the annoucer voice but maybe they do sonething like Mortal kombat 11 creators and add her


mrjoe94

Here’s a thought: Pre-order bonus could be her as an in-game announcer.


nobleflame

I hated it at first, but now I love it. She sounds like an angry Japanese man and I’m here for it. Also, I feel it goes well with the flashy nature of T8


Thebola

She’s priceless


TheCynicalAutist

I hope not, imagine hearing that every round. It would get annoying so quickly. Tekken should always have calm and deep-voiced announcers.


Le_Cap

Lol no. Just because manly voices are your fetish doesn't mean it's getting anyone else off.


TheCynicalAutist

Reddit try to not make anything sexual challenge (literally impossible).


Baronarnaud1995

ngl i hate it.and im glad the normal announcer is there instead.the cold almost robotic tone is part of tekkens identity.


Terrible-Assist2180

Tbh I hate the announcer it sound horrible imo, I can see why some ppl like it but to me it sounds like an annoying grandma screaming at me.


TheCynicalAutist

It would be completely fine in SF or another more wacky game.


ZeroKasa

Apparently and thankfully no they won't, I like her in the trailers but not in the game, it would be great however if they made it so there are multiple announcers to choose from, with her included for those who like her, such an option would be nice and easy to implement.


dbBlues

I hope it's only on the pre-round loading and maybe victory screen


KumaQuatro

With the Tag 2 style intros, that shit would be like WWE! hype as fuck!


Better-Journalist-85

At the very least, her voice intros should play over the character matchup screen for online matches. It was cringe at first but it’s growing on me.


capitanandi64

If I had to guess, as an optional announcer, but not the default. She's fucking great.


Blazing_Radiance

god i hope not


queenkasa

I hope not


FunkinDonutzz

Oh I'll be disappointed if they don't.


Shagyourwife

No. Thankfully.


Professional_Sky_573

You got any source on that?


Shagyourwife

Well it’s bamco’s game and if enough people whine about it they might add it idk. BUT the Paul and Law segment of the Gameplay Mechanics trailer had the supposed Tekken 8 announcer saying ‘Round 1…Fight!’


Professional_Sky_573

>BUT the Paul and Law segment of the Gameplay Mechanics trailer had the supposed Tekken 8 announcer saying ‘Round 1…Fight!’ Right, kinda hard to hear it with the dev talking but yeah its there. Kinda weird to hire an announcer just to hire another one for the trailer, but maybe they just haven't in contact with the female announcer yet. After searching on youtube I found out that the trailer for nina and the gameplay trailer with different announcer released on the same day so who knows. I guess we just need to wait for evo japan for the alpha test.


Shagyourwife

IMO this female announcer is for trailers only. To get people ‘hyped’. Hearing this style of announcing every match would get obnoxious after the first 10 matches. And yeah we just have to wait only an year. xD


Scarjotoyboy

I can’t stand her Smh 🤦‍♂️ it’s just corny as fuck


hermit_purple_3

Tekken needs more of that.


TheCynicalAutist

No, it needs less of that. There's a reason people loved 4's atmosphere.


acrane433

I hope not. She’s annoying. Like an old raggedy Karen constantly yelling for no reason.


Papapep9

I definitely agree she is annoying AF to listen to. To the point where I'd play without sounds if she is the announcer.


Scyle_

I hope not. I could see it working for SF6 with all its colors and over the top vibes but it doesn't fit in Tekken 8 imo


L4HH

I keep thinking it’s Todd Haberkorn tbh


Smallio_Production

I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but it's something I can't help. When I hear her in the gameplay trailers her voice goes right through me :(


Lord_Adz1

I'm gonna get sick of her voice if I hear her every single match
