[@Guirko]

It's weird how being a veteran Tekken player almost works against you in the story. MainMan was so busy doing electrics and standard Mishima stuff, he missed half of Angel Jin's crazy overpowered moveset.. and almost missed Jin having Jun's moves in the final fight 😅

Devil Jin was his Zanpakuto all along, the moment I saw Ravens trailer with the stage, I knew that Jin would battle with his inner self. Just like Ichigo have to deal with his Hollow Ichigo/Zangetsu, which is actually his Zanpakuto (sword). The fact Jin wanted to protect those he love, even it cost his which he's willingly to put his life at stake. Devil Jin who wanted to protect Jin was opposed to it.

I can’t help but remember the fact that MainMan really enjoyed Tekken 7’s story when that first dropped. But for real, this story mode is definitely a significant improvement over Tekken 7’s story.

It looks less poor but it wastes a lot of time and wastes Jun and Kazuya.

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

For sure, it definitely wasn’t a masterpiece, it had wasted potential in numerous areas and pretty much anything would have been better than 7’s story but it is still nice they at least didn’t repeat some of the most glaring issues with 7’s story.

[@Carsu12]

The Tekken 7s story's problem was that it was told by a narrator with most monotone delivery they could muster. It would be much better if it was more "movie-like" experience like this one

[@iiiid3443]

I would say it's a 10/10 on how it's played, the format, the action, the nostalgia, the pacing, and so on. It was a lot of fun to play. I just dislike the story's narrative a little so 8/10 to me. It was a bit too vanilla for me, with all the power of friendship stuff, Kazuya just being the plain villain with no depth whatsoever, Jin being the vanilla good guy, Jun having no relevance in the story despite being teased. In fact she's only going to be relevant in the next game, so why bring her back now? Not mentioning that the narrative is inconsistent at times. Jin was always a menace in the story, undefeated by any of the Mishimas so I don't buy him being so weak and inferior to Kazuya all of a sudden. And Kazuya just feels off. His intentions are only to destroy everything, nothing more, nothing less, and that's tasteless to me. But I definitely liked it a lot, and had a good time, so props to the devs. And I agree man, the Kaz vs Azazel and very final Jin vs Kaz fights were awesome.

For a fighting game the story was commendable. it was very cliched, predictable, linear and very very stupid, but it was far from boring and that’s really all that matters in a fighting game’s story. Who cares if it’s intellectually bankrupt? Being entertaining is all that matters in FG games.

[@toro2812]

I heavily agree. Being entertaining is all what matters to video games, who cares if they are incapable of providing the deepest characters and plots? As long as you are entertained, then that means that story mode did its job well. For example I don't care that Kazuya isn't a 50000 IQ genius with Agatha Christie levels of deep writing, he's just so fun to watch whenever he's on screen whether as a playable character, an opponent, or in cutscenes, and that's all what matters.

[@dariannisch7511]

It was definittly linear, but definitly not predictible and definitly not stiupid. For example azazel returning or that we get to fight kazuya in the beginning. Or that devil jin was actually just protecting jin this hole time, those were realy unexpectet things

[@Beforezzz]

Having characters like King fight a small army on a climactic battleground is pretty stupid imho. Moments like that are hype, but are also things you'd never see in the early games unless it was meant to literally be a joke ending of some kind. The story was entertaining, but boy were there corny scenes, and the most over the top Tekken has ever been as far as canon goes.

[@Caporai]

Reina being Heihachis daughter is one thing, but inheriting the devil blood is another. G-Corp are the organization that works with genetic stuff like with Super Soldier like Steve and to an extent, Gigas. They had the possession of Kazuya corpse from volcano, which Heihachi and Mishima Zaibatsu didn't have, since Heihachi declared that Kazuya was dead until Tekken 4. Unless Heihachi decided to extract it from Kazumi dead corpse, which he probably put on cryosleep, the way he did to Nina and Anna. Other than that, it seems that Mishima Clan focus on channeling stuff, acting as a conduit, which Reina did try taking hits from Devil Kazuya Laser Beam.

Reina mishima she is carrying on the devil gene The second female carrying the devil gene after kazumi 3:25:32

[@DennisTheZZZ]

Spoilers for the scene at 3:25:22 because I want to theorize something: Reina having a Devil form makes me think that Heihachi also might have had the devil gene, albeit a different one, one that's recessive and very difficult (if not, impossible) to detect. Hear me out: Heihachi was clearly not a human. Survived a fall from a cliff after Tekken 1, survived *another* fall after Tekken 3. Survived an explosion and being buried for months in Tekken 5. He wanted to make sure he didn't have the devil gene, Lars was born, maybe the 'hidden' devil gene wasn't inherited as it was recessive. Fought and killed his wife (Devil) Kazumi and survived everything Kazuya had, until his heart stopped (probably from age) in Tekken 7, then fell into a volcano, now actually confirmed dead. Now, enter Reina. She says "On my life, I swear I'll..." which could end in multiple ways. "I swear I'll...": ...get the Mishima Zaibatsu back. ...defeat anyone who stands in my path just like you did. ...set the Mishima family right again. and so on. Or, Heihachi probably got it on with another chick who happened to have the devil gene.

[@jacacent]

He prolly experimented with his genes and the devil gene to create Reina. He could've done a lot of nasty stuff between T2 and T4. I think Heihachi is more on the godly side rather than the devil gene thing.

[@carlotulio3411]

the Mishima are descendants of the Gods of the wind-thunder, so even without a demon they are still more supernatural. Reina may have gotten the gene in the lab, Heihachi had tested Ogre's gene on himself but it didn't work, it probably worked on her

[@lokouba]

you dont need to go that far witht he assumptions and theorizing. Jinpachi had some sort of curse in him too thats enough explanation

[@The_WIll_OF_D99]

I mean even before him Jinpachi is super strong and was able to get the Devil's power as well. The Mishima's are a very strong bunch and we see it time and time again. With Hehachi I think the idea of him getting Demon aids is kinda too dumb but kinda funny. But that joke aside don't forget what Kasumi said before she tried to kill Hehachi and used her own Devil form.

[@newhybrid101]

Reina is the devil gene experiment Heihachi wanted to make from back in Tekken 4. Why dont people get that?

[@newhybrid101]

[@iskalley]

like coding wise the story was cool; the time-events, the tournament faceoffs, the force mode battle, merging Jin's different styles in the end. But the story their telling such a snoozefest, the writing, the characters, they should save this huge part of the next Tekken game's budget on other things than story. Because they just don't have the talent on their writing team to tell anything worth listening to. The visuals are great, but it's not like Namco created the game-engine.

I think the devil gene is making wonders on aging and that's why Reina still looks very young. Heihachi didn't have the gene but Kazumi did, Reina can only be her daughter (whose else otherwise ?). She was obviously holding her back against Jin in the arena but she got outpowered by True Devil Kazuya, of course. He had way too much power at this time... ... but now, Reina is the only known left with the devil gene and no one can stand against her while she was already stronger than them without it. The only remaining hope is Jun.

The highs were high and the lows were low, most of all I wish Bamco would've had the nuts to actually delete the devil gene for now and TK9 could have been a kind of a soft reboot going back to the low stakes testosterone filled roots of the past. I eagerly await for Jin's moveset in TK9 tho, however a weird decision to leave the story so open but plan the next installment 10 years into the future. They atleast better revise Reina's (especially the devil forms) design in that time, for I don't know if I can take such a goofy looking main villain seriously.

They’re letting us play all the dlc character stories for free so maybe they’ll expand on it as the game ages, no reason not to

[@ZeMelonMan6239]

32:38 apparently MainMan forgot that it's using Xbox inputs that X is 1 unlike Playstation where X is 3

[@jaydee8717]

I think Heihachi found a way to posses the devil into his daughter before he passed away but idk

[@dreadrath]

Kinda has Goku vs Frieza vibes, that final battle. Fighter with golden glowing power vs fighter with magenta glowing power.

[@dezlionprod.7853]

I’ll never forgive you MainMan for having your thumbnail the end of the game u spoiled this 24 hours later

[@dswizzle2457]

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. that’s why Reina deliberately let herself get vaporized by Kazuya’s canons twice in the story. The devil energy in said canons gave her power.

[@Official_AK-47]

The chat had me dying everytime *TMMSWE* took an L 🤣🤣🤣

[@rosschesteragojo9515]

The reaction of MainMan to CPU Kazuya doing a Perfect Electric is so funny in 3:44 😂

[@slimballs9650]

And the MASKU alert right after that too!

[@Deathstroke25]

They mentioned on the Tekken talk that they are going to have the main menu character changeable

[@TodayNot]

Lol It rather seems they prefer showing the same dlc character for 2 months straight instead.

[@GooglyGuy.]

no devil powers just true Mishima power in the end between Kazuya and jin

[@jacobingram8152]

34:35 Look like he got a McDonald's logo on his gi

[@ratrugg]

my theory is heihachi decided to have reina with another mysterious devil lady to defeat kazuya in the future but idk

[@nemesistim371]

Huh looks like Masku doesn't have the jack t-pose bug in raven tekken force stage

[@Morbius-Tension]

4:05 I thought the same thing when he dashes through the smoke to deliver a punch it’s screenshot worthy

[@VillainessAO]

Best part of the whole story mode was Jin accepting himself and his Devil... Almost made me cry bro it's been so long that he couldn't control Devil Jin and hated himself

[@Tentacl]

I like the very last punch in the story, it's a Rocky moment, with "resilience beats how strong you punch" thing. The rest of thr story, not so much XD
