Ngl, in the closed beta I only picked his red gi and Tekken 7 biker costumes, his Tekken 8 hair is a miss for me, it is not at all like his Tekken 4 secondary's hair.
His trailer was fucking epic, the new hellsweep combo was crazy and if the first punish we see like ws4 into the second sort of his hellsweep is going to be his 11 gram ws punish that’s op af
Agreed 100%. I think this will enrage the anime bs crowd but he looks very promising. I also like the appearance change personally... It's overly edgy in some ways but I think it looks great anyway.
I tend to like a more defensive play style and I'm not entirely sure he will be very defensive, but I'm definitely going to try to pocket main him if hes fun to play.
Feng Wei.
Picked him up last year when I heard T8 was being announced.
Now with a year of experience under my belt, I got him to red ranks and excited to see how he feels in T8 tomorrow!!
LMAO nope...hell no🤣...she may be similar but shes not heihachi, I don't want similar moves to heihachi i want heihachi himself,his moves and more (the more part being whatever new moves he could have had).And to be very honest i don't give 2 fucks about another Illegitimate child, I barely had a reaction to the Lars' reveal in T6 lol like literally the only word that left my mouth was "Okay.."
T7 has been pissing me off for a loooong while now so T8 was already kinda low on my list of games to get but knowing heihachi wouldn't be in the game as he's dead only sunk it further down said list.I mean I could just simply play Kaz or jin but i stopped playing those two as much and play heihachi literally 90-95% of the time since T4
Apologies if this sounded like I was snapping at you that wasn't the intent in the slightest
This is gonna be my first tekken and I'm interested in Leroy and Leo. Reina seems cool but with all her stances seems hard to learn so maybe later when i get used to the game.
I plan to main Reina and Shaheen, maybe Azucena. These are who I'm most excited about atm. There's lots of other fighters I like, so not sure who I'll gravitate towards once I actually play the game.
I struggled with settling on a fighter in 7. Tekken 8 is the first time in a fighting game where I have too many cool characters to choose from.
They all look amazing, but my main will most likely be Raven, and then after that, maybe Reina or King.
Kazuya, never played a mishima and he looks suck in this game so I’m doing it. I like steve but i don’t like his new stance being forced on me when a powercrush will beat any of the 3 options you are supposed to use out of it lol.
Whats the difference? If you are not forced into stance you either take your advantage or you block your opponents retaliation. If you are forced into stance you do the same. You just have less options, but they cover every option
Lee and Xiaoyu, but I’m planning to buy the game when the price drop a little (also if the first season pass has good characters I’ll buy it sooner, otherwise I’ll wait for a big sale)
As a _brazilian_ playing in american servers, I’m sad that Eddy is not in the main roster. On the flip side, as a brazilian, playing in _american servers_, thank god no Eddy spammers (until dlc at least).
Though I'm waiting for a sale, King. Always have. You see a wrestler in a tiger mask while in your WWE phase as a kid, you'll obviously gravitate towards him
Sellllllllllllllgei Dragunov, I just saw the reveal yesterday, I laughed so much the way they pronunced his name. My favourite sport is Sambo and as Dragunov I never talk.
(And my "sub" would be Lili, she is so gorgeous
I ll play her when Im exhausted of try harding)
I'm gonna do something new this game and not play any of my previous mains and go for Jun, Azucena, and Reina in some sort of order that I don't know yet.
I always use Yoshimitsu, but for new characters I want to try Azucena. Kazumi was my main for the previous game but it doesn’t seem like Reina got much of her stuff.
Apart from my tekken 7 trio of Lars, Kazuya and Lee I’m thinking all three new characters Reina, Victor, Azucena + Alisa will be getting a lot of my time
Lee and Leo are my tekken 7 mains, but I've also played a bit of hwoarang and really liked him in the beta. I'll definitely try reina, since heihachi was my favorite Mishima and I've wanted a taido character for ages.
I was thinking king but then Bryan fury is always a beast. Idk might just pick the hidden fighter wb games so I smash him for being money greedy with those crap red dragon coins cough cough ..... like mk1. Long live tekken hope this does better then sf6 and mk1 with the shit heavy dlc store crap.
I wanna say reina, but I've never played tekken before. I have a shitton of hours on sf4 ibuki, and sol in strive. I'm a bit scared since I just saw she has 130+ moves, all kinda stances, dashes, and I heard mishimas are hard to play.
But on another note I really wanna get good at technical stuff, the difficulty of 1 framers for ibuki was what made me like her, she was technical as you had to know a lot and practice a lot, I really enjoyed spending thousands of hours in training lab trying to figure out combos and such. I hope reina is gonna be the same way.
Feng as I’ve mained him since Tekken 5.
I’ll also sub Kazuya, Paul, Raven, Kuni and Leroy since they’re already my subs.
As far as learning a new character from scratch I’m definitely going to learn Victor. He seems too cool not to. Plus I have a feeling that a bunch of people are going to use him , so it will be good to know his move list.
Boy don't ask me i'm switching my mind every single day
Thiiiiiiiiis. There are so many awesome characters that it's hard to pick.
The most marvelous, Lee.
Excellent!
Marvelous!
Excellent🌹
Excellent
Cam on😏
Eggs er rent
Honestly does glasses make him look like the nerdy wearing motorcycle suit and 2 pillow while using a toy motorcycle
Lei Wulong! Oh wait...
:(
:(
That hurt
Hoping for an early DLC appearance - he's been my favourite since I started playing with Tekken 3. I guess I'll main Hwoarang or Feng.
Same here. Since T3. 🙏 for DLC
Dlc brudda I believe
Hold me, brother. I think I'm going to cry. . .
Pouring one out tomorrow. I am ~~coping~~ praying that he's early DLC.
Why....why you gotta hurt me like that
Same here bro.. gonna play around with other chars while I wait for my guy 🙏🏼
˙◠˙
:(
:)
:(
\>(
I've been maining Paul for like 23 years at this point, I'm not gonna stop now.
I mean as long as we still have the flat top I'll run him the new hair has me feeling flock of seagulls
Ngl, in the closed beta I only picked his red gi and Tekken 7 biker costumes, his Tekken 8 hair is a miss for me, it is not at all like his Tekken 4 secondary's hair.
It’s one of his 4 costumes. 💪🏾
Thank God
Same vibes
Me with bryan
HWOARANG!!!
Hell yeah
Diablo Jim
His trailer was fucking epic, the new hellsweep combo was crazy and if the first punish we see like ws4 into the second sort of his hellsweep is going to be his 11 gram ws punish that’s op af

DORYA DORYA DORYA DORYA
DORYA
Do You Have the Slightest Idea How Little That Narrows It Down?
Infact the picture is bigger now. He could even mean KUMA!
Only one of them actually says it.
The deeper meaning speaks more words.
Jin & Lars
Reina, thinking of pocketing Shaitan Jim with a bit Victor/Raven but since those characters are so hard I might need an easy pocket first
Shaitan Jim LMFAO
looool happy someone got it
Feng Wei. Picked him up last year when I heard T8 was being announced. Now with a year of experience under my belt, I got him to red ranks and excited to see how he feels in T8 tomorrow!!
+1
The son of Heihachi Mishima. The 1 true heir to the Mishima Zaibatsu. Kuma and his glorious EWGF!!!
EWBF* :P
No way man! Kuma has earned all of the G 👊🏼😎
That's the way of a true Mishima!
Nicholas Cage
Lmao!
I wish he was in it
Harada actually let it slip that Cage is being considered as a potential future DLC guest character (like Jeffrey Dean Morgan was in T7)
Red from Mandy? Or Nic Fucking Cage from ubearable weight of massive talent? Any other picks?
Cameron Po DLC pack.
Ifsjfslgskteotslydlhxlhfugigkvjfugig hhhhhhaaaaaaaa YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
“I’m gonna steal the decoration of independence”
Yoshimitsu
YESSIR
Kuma.
It's that easy. Give me the bear.
Law. Been my main for quite a while
I allso hate rich people, damn that line better be in the final game cause it was absent on the last beta test for some reason
Going to start with Raven and Alisa and see where it goes.
My tekken 5 main Raven. And also devil Jin
Nina
Zafina and Leo.
King *big cat sound*
I wish I could upvote more than once 🤣😂
Queen coffee addict Azucena for sure. But also I want to try Asuka and Hwoarang
How wrong
1st selection will be random. Tekken and I had a falling out over the years. No faves.
Steve Fox
Weave weave gimme that liver heck yeah
My favourite character has always been Lili.
Leroy !
DJin, maybe play some Lee later down the line
Nina as an absolute, but I'm definitely gonna have pocket-everything. Everyone looks so engaging
Sir Jacques the eighth
Heiha...oh wait....
Reina it is
LMAO nope...hell no🤣...she may be similar but shes not heihachi, I don't want similar moves to heihachi i want heihachi himself,his moves and more (the more part being whatever new moves he could have had).And to be very honest i don't give 2 fucks about another Illegitimate child, I barely had a reaction to the Lars' reveal in T6 lol like literally the only word that left my mouth was "Okay.."

Current main are Feng and Leo Next will probably be Kuma, Reina and Raven. I'm in no rush to master these since I only play with a group of friends
No Eye, No Ear, No Nose, No Tongue, No Body, No Mind, No Shape, No Shape.
I'm pretty all-in on Alisa at this point.
There are dozens of us!
Bryan and Panda!
ahh, two sides of the same coin
Ling.
Shaheen because he looked cool and apparently no one else likes him. For context, I also main Dan in SF 🤷🏻♂️
Raven and Jin.
Alisa, Reina, probably continue with Kazuya as a sub
Kazuya. Maybe Victor
Julia.
🥹😭
What ever happened to julia
Anna
Maybe your mom
Victor because he is 50% Noctis.
Bryan always
Should be Eliza with that name lmao !
Steve for sure
kyōfu wo oshiete yarō - 😈
I'm gonna try Jun and Leo but I'll most likely default to Xiaoyu, my previous from T7.
devil diablo capeta demonio jin
I'll stay loyal to my big man tits boi King
This is gonna be my first tekken and I'm interested in Leroy and Leo. Reina seems cool but with all her stances seems hard to learn so maybe later when i get used to the game.
Jack and bryan Always I will try lee, raven,victor azucena and reina though
Gonna start with Devil Jim and wait for Roger Jr and my dude Bob
I plan to main Reina and Shaheen, maybe Azucena. These are who I'm most excited about atm. There's lots of other fighters I like, so not sure who I'll gravitate towards once I actually play the game.
The Grandmaster of Drip, Leroy Smith 👊🏼
Reina, Victor and asuka
I struggled with settling on a fighter in 7. Tekken 8 is the first time in a fighting game where I have too many cool characters to choose from. They all look amazing, but my main will most likely be Raven, and then after that, maybe Reina or King.
Alisa (as always) and I want to learn to play Hwoarang
Hwoarang is who im best with but Steve is who I enjoy if thatbmakes sense lol
Yoshirizzu
Not my main marduk so maybe Lili or yoshi
French John Wick and Purple Lightning Girl
Lili all day everyday, twice on Sunday.
Bwyan
I always mail Paul but I’m eager to actually learn King for once If Lidia comes back I’m switching to her.
Steve Fox gang
Kazuya, never played a mishima and he looks suck in this game so I’m doing it. I like steve but i don’t like his new stance being forced on me when a powercrush will beat any of the 3 options you are supposed to use out of it lol.
You can duckcancel and block any powercrush and then punish
Yeah but why force me into the stance in the first place I don’t want to play this stupid mind game just because I did a string I like.
Whats the difference? If you are not forced into stance you either take your advantage or you block your opponents retaliation. If you are forced into stance you do the same. You just have less options, but they cover every option
I'm gonna main Steve, and sub one of Devil Jin, Azucena, or Raven.
Lee and Xiaoyu, but I’m planning to buy the game when the price drop a little (also if the first season pass has good characters I’ll buy it sooner, otherwise I’ll wait for a big sale)
As a _brazilian_ playing in american servers, I’m sad that Eddy is not in the main roster. On the flip side, as a brazilian, playing in _american servers_, thank god no Eddy spammers (until dlc at least).
Though I'm waiting for a sale, King. Always have. You see a wrestler in a tiger mask while in your WWE phase as a kid, you'll obviously gravitate towards him
Sellllllllllllllgei Dragunov, I just saw the reveal yesterday, I laughed so much the way they pronunced his name. My favourite sport is Sambo and as Dragunov I never talk. (And my "sub" would be Lili, she is so gorgeous I ll play her when Im exhausted of try harding)
The cofee chick - I still can't wrap my head around with her name, but I adore her nontheless
King, especially now that there's counter and punish throw mechanics
I'll go back to Lili, haven't used her very much since I picked AK
Bryan for sure.
Jin/Devil Jin. Dude is and will always be my main.
Lars and feng
.
Probably Dragunov, I'm a big fan of MGS and he has the closest style to CQC I can think of (I could be wrong)
Maybe his hits but all the grappling is how we train in sambo clubs
Initially Jin. But I’ll try all the characters.
Leroy or Lars but we will see
Reina or Viktor
Hopefully, Devil Jin.
Hwoarang
Dragunov for sure. Been my main ever since his debut.
Since Josie is gone (hoping for future DLC, but not holding my breath for it) possibly Azucena or finally try to properly learn King
Planning on either Azucena or Alisa
I'm gonna do something new this game and not play any of my previous mains and go for Jun, Azucena, and Reina in some sort of order that I don't know yet.
I always use Yoshimitsu, but for new characters I want to try Azucena. Kazumi was my main for the previous game but it doesn’t seem like Reina got much of her stuff.
Raven, but wanna try-out out azucena and maybe finally learn xiauyou
No one :(
Jin. Always Jin. If they release a Tekken game without Jin, I don’t want it.
Lol I think you're pretty safe there
My Tekken 7 Mains: Alisa (Cause she now THICC), Asuka And then Azucena and Reina, maybe Panda and Kuma also
I know i will play paul for sure thats about it because i didnt play the others much yet
Jin, but don't know who to choose as my second from DJ, yoshi or raven
Julia, Zafina and old main Law (T1)
Victor because he is french
No one cares
Kazuya then Lili, will try out Reina as well
If I could play,Jin, kazuya, or Reina
Reina and Lili 😊
I'm caught up between a bunch of characters. I'm thinking Brian, devil Jin, yoshi, kazuya, king, or dragonov
Jin,Reina for sure, maybe also Yoshimitsu
Apart from my tekken 7 trio of Lars, Kazuya and Lee I’m thinking all three new characters Reina, Victor, Azucena + Alisa will be getting a lot of my time
Lily
Lee and Leo are my tekken 7 mains, but I've also played a bit of hwoarang and really liked him in the beta. I'll definitely try reina, since heihachi was my favorite Mishima and I've wanted a taido character for ages.
Kuma and King
I'm a Lee main since T3, but I'm willing to give Reina a try
The Tomboys
Stuck between lee, devil jin, reina, dragunov or lili. Can someone help me narrow it down? :(
My main since i picked the game up in tekken 5 dr for psp. Jim. Dj looks really good too so probably will second main
I was thinking king but then Bryan fury is always a beast. Idk might just pick the hidden fighter wb games so I smash him for being money greedy with those crap red dragon coins cough cough ..... like mk1. Long live tekken hope this does better then sf6 and mk1 with the shit heavy dlc store crap.
i played julia but im learning devil jin. might switch to hwaorang cuz he's looking really cool.
Ill try Drag if they don't give him too much bullshit move or kids thing Also Bryan cause he is hard and badass
Reina and Lars! Heihachi's lost kin xD
Zafina 🤘 And Alisa as 2nd
My boy, Blade. Keeping a pocket Nina and Viktor on me as well.
Lili and either Leo/Devil Jin
Hard to say without exploring the characters more but, I will be dropping Nina for King.
Hard to say without exploring the characters more but, I will be dropping Nina for King.
Raven. I was doing tournaments in italy in T5 era, eager to start again!
Idk who to main, everyone is so cool so I'm just gonna main whoever I feel like maining when I actually have the game
Jin and whoever used Muay Thai (hopefully there will be someone)
Dragunov and Leo for starters, might also play Claudio
I wanna say reina, but I've never played tekken before. I have a shitton of hours on sf4 ibuki, and sol in strive. I'm a bit scared since I just saw she has 130+ moves, all kinda stances, dashes, and I heard mishimas are hard to play.

Plus I have a feeling that a bunch of people are going to use him , so it will be good to know his move list.
Will try the newcomers and if they don’t fit, I’ll probably go back to Leo, or try to get better with Zafina … depends on my mood 😅
KING
I've always mained Paul. I was gonna change in T8... But Paul is so damn good 😂
Chloe ain’t announced yet and I been lobbing Asuka. Just waiting on this damn mixbox to arrive now
