Tekken 8 Story Trailer Reaction | Character Draft Part 2

[@ivanteoh930]

To think Heihachi's legacy lives on not by his company, children, grandchildren but by a bear

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😂😁

[@Audroti22]

Reina is actually Heihachi’s illegitimate daughter, Kazuya’s half sister, and technically Jin’s aunt even though she is younger than him. Lars is another one of Heihaci’s children. According to the creator of Tekken, Heihachi had anywhere from 19 to 27 illegitimate children, and we only know of 2. And I don’t mean the one’s Heihachi adopted and raised, I mean true blood decedents.

[@tennoyamamoto1800]

And yet, his favorite child is the adopted one, Kuma (the 1st)

[@ShadowNocturnal]

No love for Lee haha

[@Audroti22]

@@ShadowNocturnal Lee doesn’t have Heihachi’s blood, he was adopted by Heihachi as a child purely to be a rival to Kazuya.

[@taipao6661]

Okay y'all know power rangers samurai? The Japanese one super sentai the female red ranger is 17 and at the end when the male one shows up to save everyone and defeat the evil bad together when she's too injured to go on, she legally adopts him and becomes his mother so he can be the legitimate red samurai despite the fact he's three years older he's technically her son I'm fine with this dynamic

[@dx_Rain_xb]

​@tennoyamamoto1800 what about Kuma the 2nd?

[@JoshuaJonesTheKpoppingPanda]

If you didn't know Vincent Cassel who voices Victor, he's the guy from Ocean's 12 that danced through the laser field.

[@liv3vil-Kei]

In addition: he trained in Capoiera and he mained Eddy in Tekken.

Fun fact, the Australian accent is a direct descendent of the London cockney accent. Back when Australia was still a British colony they sent a lot of their criminals over there as a labour force to work on and develop the land. If you were having trouble placing Steve Fox's accent that's one reason why, there's a linguistic lineage there.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Knew about the criminals to Australia but didn’t know they mainly had the cockney accent which makes sense now that you mention it 😅

[@caseyogden7105]

also as someone who lives in england and has lived in many different parts of it (including london) i have never met anyone with an accent like that/as strong as that

[@armorking2832]

Nice, now it's time for lee, zafina and alisa's trailers and the opening movie.

[@darkknight1242]

Two things, #1 Steve Foxx is actually nina's biological son. Which nina didn't know about his existence until later on when she was hired to kill him but when she had the chance to kill him she didn't go through with it. Also Steve is pro boxer so that is why you see him just using his fists and throwing punches. 2nd, Yosemitsu is actually a good guy not evil. He's like a modern day Robin hood that steals from the rich to give to the poor. But with that said the sword that he has is evil. It urines for blood of others and tries to corrupt Yosemitsu to kill people if it isn't feed enough blood to satisfy its hunger for blood.

[@undeadMonk]

It urines, huh...

[@darkknight1242]

@@undeadMonk whatever, you get the point

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for sharing that info about Steve Fox and Yoshimitsu! 🤩😀

[@toonman5099]

(This was me writing before you mentioned that you watched the insane lore of Tekken vid): - Feng: His beef with Leroy is that Leroy canonically beat him in the last game's tourney. His view on martial arts is like Kazuya's where all that matters is strength, Leroy thinks otherwise. - Victor: He's the leader/boss of the Raven organization/clan, aka Raven's superior. - Dragunov: He's had beef with the Raven's, and due to victor being Victor their head, well. - Leo: Actually, they're non-binary/gender neutral, having both male and female cosmetic customization options, they're also German. - Byan: He killed most of Yoshi's clansmen, so they have beef. - Yoshi: His thing is that every game entry, it's been a different person inheriting the title and cursed sword Yoshimitsu. With the latter absorbing the soul of the prior wielder as the sword is passed down.

[@gianeirationgco5163]

Yay!!! New Tekken Reaction!!! Reina is now my new favorite character, what’s interesting about her is she was one of Heihachi’s 18-25 illegitimate children alongside Lars (it is confirmed by the Tekken Project Director, Katsuhiro Harada). She has electric, Heihachi’s moves, stance, & personality. About Victor, he is one of many Ravens (his codename is Phantom Raven) in the game based on his bio on the Tekken website (I think it was the JP website). His voice actor, Vincent Cassel, was known for Ocean’s 12, Irreversible, & Black Swan & he is also a Tekken fan because he is maining Eddy Gordo because he was training capoeira at that point. My favorite trailer other than Reina was Kuma. Kuma wearing Heihachi’s gi was the cutest and the most touching moment because Kuma is honoring his late master by mastering his moves. Plus, Brian Cox as the narrator for the Story So Far trailer? That made me mindblown, because I love his performance in Succession. Please react to Lee, Alisa, Zafina, & Devil Jin & also to the Tekken 8 Opening movie as well 🥰

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yes more Tekken to come. They keep coming out with new stuff 😅

[@youngprince7820]

Fight Night Friday! Tekken 8 is coming next week.

[@SimplyDad]

Ever since the T8 trailer dropped i dedicated time to learning the game, and its made me appreciate a lot of the characters more, Dragunov and Devil Jin are always gonna be my favs and im lookin forward to playing Jun too. Hope yall get around to picking this game up at some point!

[@nightshround175]

😎👍😀

[@s.o.c.c.5027]

You two are so much fun. I love it.

[@actpianocover6329]

Fyi, Reina's moveset is very similar to Heihachi. So she is the new Heihachi for Tekken 8 (since Heihachi is canonically dead in Tekken 7)

[@madhavmandava]

Yes....Feng has unlocked the dragons power

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

Leo is actually nonbinary & intentionally ambiguous & has multiple times been referred to she, he, or just Leo to intentionally keep it nonbinary

[@hdelmas1]

Since I pre-ordered it recently, I couldn’t wait to see the story and how all these characters played out. After seeing almost all of them, I’d figure that the most shine would go to Jin, Reina, and Kazuya. It’s been so so long long since the game was called “Rave War”, and The whole Mishima/Kazama affair has been the neverending drive throughout the series. Also, I remember Leo being female at first since they were formally named Eleonore, but they were made gender neutral, I figured that would be a decent change of pace for the roster…

[@madhavmandava]

Victor's fighting style looks like mix of Philippine style Kali or pekiti tirsha, systema, and ninjitsu as he is Raven's mentor and leader

[@TwoSevenX]

"I like the environment" That is Heihachi's Private Dojo, last seen in Tekken 4, which fits since Reina is Heihachi's daughter. She knows Mishima style karate and Taido, which is the japanese high impact version of capoeira. Yes, she did headbutt Jin, just as Heihachi did. She is also, like her father, devil laser resistant. Leo switches gender every game, so this time they're.. male.... ish. esque. Leo is an archaeologist and adventurer. Steve is Nina's son. Yoshi is absolutely one of the good guys. 4.5 more trailers remain, with the .5 being the first DLC character, a familiar one.

[@Jordzyi1]

This was really fun to watch use react to tekken 8, definitely should play this when it comes out and the others.

[@davidhernando353]

Reina is a character that has given a lot of talk. We'll see what their story is, I have no idea, but theorizing is fun. Many people are thinking that she is a daughter or clone of Heihachi. At the very least she is certain had relation to Heihachi because she uses the Mishima style combined with taido. Additionally, her attacks include rays of all the colors used by the three Mishima plus purple which is the color obtained by combining the color of the rays of two other members of the family I hope it's something (slightly crazier by Tekken standards) than a female clon of Heihachi like she's actually a clone of Heihachi's wife, Kazumi (I see a resemblance between the two but it could be my imagination) who is the one from whom Kazuma and Jin inherited the demonic gene (and who knows if with some extra genetic modification) to wipe out the rest of the family. It is the maternal branch where the demonic gene comes from and it would be good if they explored it more. I've also read that she was apparently designed by Bayonetta's designer.

[@adandyguyinspace5783]

The knife is a Karambit, Doug Marcaida uses it for his brand of Kali. Look him up if you're interested in the "real world" uses of it. :D

[@AlexThat200]

It is still crazy how you guys mentioned Succession during your Tekken lore video and someone from that show does a quick synopsis of the story for 8. Well, I hope you guys will still look at the rest of them when they come out. Devil Jin should be the last one to come out soon. Also don’t forget to watch the new Opening for Tekken 8.

Great video Ken and Bethany! Was waiting for you to react to these! In the Reina trailer when her Ultimate is performed at the very end you can see how her shadow looks like heihachi too! And Leo is actually a female! (I didn’t guess this either)

[@Mankey619]

The announcer of the character trailers of Tekken 8. Is voiced by a woman. She did all of the Tekken 8 character's names, like a ring announcer.

[@ushijimawakatoshi1429]

Yeah. Heihachi wasn't contented to having an vengeful ass of a son, emotionally constipated grandson, narcissistic adoptive son and overly righteous illegitimate son. He also somehow has a Too Proud illegitimate daughter.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

#baddadgoals 😜

[@somethingelse4948]

Just wanting to clarify, Leo is a girl who presents herself as a man. It's been a topic of debate since her introduction but people can't really reach a consensus on Leo's true gender. I think this stems from their voice in Tekken 6 was a woman's but very tomboyish.

[@NightCatty]

Leo is a boy voiced by male actor in ttt2, t7 and t8. And he have facial hair and golden suit as customize like other male character's. also Harada says that both of Tag games are just Ganryu's fantasy, so Leo's bikini is non canon. Deal with it.

[@somethingelse4948]

@@NightCatty I still believe in the tomboy Leo idea, ever since T6. Also, customization isn't a really a reliable source of proof, since T7 has options for a maid headdress and a princess tiara for Leo.

The most common theories of Reina are being Heihachi's illegitimate daughter or him reincarnated. And Leo is actually gender ambiguous, but you can call him whatever gender you want and it won't matter. Also I just gonna say Yoshimitsu's rage art looks like the rage explosions from the most recent Samurai Shodown

[@GirlofCulture]

When i think back like.. when i got a PS2 for my 15th birthday.. with Star Wars Jedi Starfighter and Tekken Tag Tournament.. Tekken had come a long way and got's good over the years, same goes for Motal Kombat.

Australian flag has the British flag on it, in the top left, from the Commonwealth days. Steve is 'English' but a cloned child of Nina (Irish). I don't know why but English guys in fighting games never sound right (Axl in Guilty Gear). English women casting seems better (Cammy in Street Fighter). Also, it sucks for Jin that the only familial love he's gotten since his Mum died is from his estranged, Scandinavian, bastard Uncle Lars.

[@MonkPredator04]

Nice idea to cap off a week until T8 is released! Also,the developers have already started announcing DLC fighters too (before the release again, Bandai, smh) but you guys should just be able to transition into part 3 character draft maybe after that gets done.

[@dagonofthedepths]

Leo's androgenous, the creators said that officially. So, Leo has no official gender at all. The pronoun is whatever you want it to be.

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Leo was born a female.

[@dagonofthedepths]

@@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf Highly doubt that as I don't remember any source saying that and it conflicts with Tekken's official stance on the character. I think you're confusing the original concept of the character where he was a woman named Eleonore Kliesen although they scrapped that idea very early on. I mean plz prove me wrong but every credible sources, (mostly from Katsuhiro Harada himself) says Leo is gender neutral which kind of means something different when you look at the Japanese language.

[@dagonofthedepths]

Leo's was designed to be androgenous, so he really doesn't have an official gender. The idea is that he is supposed to look straight down the middle so he's whatever you want him to be. They also switch his pronoun constantly to drive that home. But to be honest, in a 3d game with a somewhat realistic art style, it just makes him look way more male than they want so I just see that side come out way more than anything else. Kind of a problem with being so good at modeling characters you get anatomy too good with is a nice problem to have but characters like that sell better in more stylistic series. Also love the fish reaction. 😁😁
