Well we have a thread for street fighter 6 now, but I'm equally hyped for tekken 8. Visually, it is absolutely stunning. And like, sf6, they are really adding a lot to how returning characters play, which will really freshen things up. Also, I love that they got Lenne Hardt as the announcer. Absolute legend.

Nina Williams with the "Isn't it past your bedtime?" line. The internet and rule 34 have been hard at work with that.

Is there like a core set of characters that fans feel "have to" be included? It's interesting how there's no Yoshimitsu, yet. I'm sure he'll be announced or has been already, no?

Sepholio

If they don't put Yoshimitsu in it then we riot.

I just wanna know how they bring back Heihachi from lava.

I wouldn't be surprised if they let his death stick for at least this entry.

Still no Yoshimitsu, but how about some Jun Kazama over here?

Not surprising here, but I do have to ask if she's managed to get her fucking theme park already, or whatever it was she was trying to build.

Added to the OP.

I've dabbled with both in previous games.

Fignuts

Also, I think at this point Xiaoyu's story revolves around her being thirsty for Jin.

M-A-G

03-31-2023, 01:08 AM

I mean, who can blame her?

Of course, that gives off "Sakura and Ryu" vibes.

Kalyx triaD

Sakura don't want those kind of skills from Ryu.

M-A-G

03-31-2023, 07:45 PM

Really? Her story in Street Fighter 5 seemed to indicate that she was thinking about getting some of his Rising Dragon Fist. :shifty:

M-A-G

03-31-2023, 07:51 PM

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out if Jun's appearance here marks the longest length of time a character has gone being non-playable in a fighting game series. Stryker from Mortal Kombat would be another contender, going unplayable from the time between Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Armageddon.

Fignuts

03-31-2023, 11:51 PM

Well she was in the tag titles. In that respect, I think Kunimitsu's absence was longer, as she wasn't available at launch in TTT2.

Man I hope Kunimitsu makes it.

M-A-G

04-01-2023, 01:11 AM

Birdie went 21 years from Street Fighter Alpha to Street Fighter 5 not being playable. I think that might be the record. Riptor and Thunder from Killer Instinct come pretty close.

For those interested, Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada stated on Twitter that Tekken 8 will support crossplay for online multiplayer matches for the first time in series history.

Harada also revealed that he had wanted to introduce cross-play for the series earlier but was unable to so so due to issues beyond his control.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Crossplay? Of course I will.<br>BTW<br>When the previous generation consoles were released, I had already proposed crossplay between the two platformers. However, at that time, they were at odds with each other over their mutual interests (and P2P security issue) & repeatedly refused. <a href="https://t.co/I8b38YfePh">https://t.co/I8b38YfePh</a></p>— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/1644917275621990401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 9, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Lili trailer just dropped and it seems to confirm she'll still have a comedic rivalry with Asuka. Continues Tekken's refusal to elaborate what exactly is Asuka's place with now 2 relatives in the game.

Fignuts

04-23-2023, 04:32 PM

Lili is another character I dabbled in but never played seriously. Looks great though.

I honestly don't know who I'm going to really play outside of my usual main of Kazuya. Everyone looks really fun.

Asuka
Jin (Karate)

Nothing changed really.

Harada saw how thirsty people got over the Cammy trailer and said "hold my beer. Gonna make the Lili trailer.

Azucena is a villain lol

Working with the evil G Corporation to help sell her coffee brand. That is fantastic.

Watching videos of this game and firing up tekken 7 immediately after really drives home what a visual upgrade
this is. Like the tekken 8 gameplay looks even better than the tekken 7 rendered cut scenes.
