Lidia - Tekken 7 VS Tekken 8 Comparison

Gameplay comparison and breakdown based on the moves shown in Tekken 8 Lidia Gameplay Trailer

[@robertrubas2634]

She was one of the latest t7 characters but the graphics jump still looks INSANE with each side by side.

[@w21aaaaa]

Base T7 was made on a tight budget and it shows

[@nickochioneantony9288]

hmm a DLC character doesn't mean there are changes in game engine.. But anyway, I get you, Lidia is more flashy than ever.. although it's doubtful that I main her considering how many stances she got, this character is just for diversity sake, in fighting style I mean.

[@MeatSim64]

​@@nickochioneantony9288 My fighting style knowledge is average but I think her style is a more traditional version of Shotokan.

[@scorpioigor]

And yet, her face was far more unique and interesting.

[@KZ_Suntorn]

@@scorpioigor "Unique" when she looked 100% like Emilia Clarke in 7, lol.

[@ArbiterEx]

I'm glad they managed to distinguish her well from Reina: Reina's Taido is wrathful and cruel, while Lidia's style (Shotokan?) is all about disciplined, focused power strikes. Even when put one against the other you can clearly see the difference in their personalities.

[@nattygilles9365]

Lidia * style

[@eproductions5115]

they have very clearly different styles lmfao

[@Leefamily146]

Yes lidia is shotokan karate

[@Arcanero]

Because Reina using not only Taido, but also Penchak Silat , which is a very deadly martial art. She also uses several Penchak silat stands and also low kicks on the ground.

[@jondeiconic2552]

She seems flashier now. To be fair just about every character got flashier going from 7 to 8.

[@LOOMING_WRAITH_OF_BAD_OMEN]

I don't see a problem with flashiness. Real life is already realistic enough.

[@markusz2844]

flashier, but less power/impact, or in polish most apt word would be "pierdolnięcia". that's all of t8 tho

[@13Kr4zYAzN13]

That's T7 to T8 in general lol

[@mcbill7352]

I much prefer it that way. I was kind of put off 7 because there were cooler moves in games like kof and guilty gear

[@okureta]

The “new stance” is just a different animation for CFO. She still has CFO2 from it, but there are new moves too.

[@joyhappiness]

How is she a prime minister AND a CFO? Busybody

As a Pole, I declare that I voted for her :)

[@cortexcarvalho9423]

There are films and cartoons with flourishes with dragons in the background, mythical birds, etc. I did not understand. Seeing this character makes me raise the hypothesis that this is her internal world, the character's vibe, which is very interesting! I liked! It even made me want to play teken

[@Squidward-jv7go]

She looks so awesome, defs gonna be one of my secondary characters. Makes me excited for what they’re gonna do with the next two characters, I think I have an idea who they are and I bet they’re gonna have so much new stuff when they get revealed

[@ntalottantalotta9114]

Great video👍

[@PatrickBautista_RR3Gamer]

She even has her own version of Jin's Zenshin.

[@olishonick]

Hopefully she still has her dope hopkick

[@IAMOP]

It feels like they replaced it with the first move in the video

[@olishonick]

@IAMOP nooooooooo. That was what drew me to the character in 7. Could be 3 instead of 4?

[@YuryVVV]

Came down to the comments to say the same thing, would be gutted if they removed it. Even from this trailer it's obvious they took away some of her spins and made her less flashy, which is a huge loss in my book.

[@AOTOM382]

Yes, the first homing jump kick is definitely her new uf4, so i'm assuming the replacement is the jumping knee we see at the end before rage art. Or perhaps the new uf3+4 is not i15, or it's a ch launcher, that would be very unique. EDIT: she is specifically crouching before she does the jumping knee, meaning its probably a new ws3+4 or something. This means that she possibly doesn't even have a hopkick now. However it's still possible that the homing jump kick is u4 instead of uf4, but I would say that is unlikely.

[@olishonick]

@@AOTOM382 she did it after ducking so it could be a ws move

[@chuggs9549]

As a lidia main, im elated that she’s back. Couldn’t be happier. However, she does look less fierce, and her moves feel less impactful. That’s the only criticism I have tho; her outfit looks great, new stances look good, more aggression and the rage art is fantastic. Can’t wait to play her

[@JustAnte9557]

I miss some of her old battle grunts "aii" after her just frame successful parry (B1+3, 212) and her "oo" that she yells during pouncing tiger 1

[@INecr0]

less impactful? Both her old moves and opponent reactions look nearly identical to those in T7. She hits so freaking hard now that she can literally break armor moves!

[@melvinshine9841]

I think we don't have to worry about Lidia being "dumbed down". I can't tell if HAE 1+2 is still a guard break, but it seems like she straight up gets an "armor break" mechanic on some moves while in Heat.

[@scorpioigor]

I wonder if she can regularly go into her stances via her moves on block only during Heat or at any given time. If so, her entire gameplan will change dramatically.

[@IndigoPhoenix21]

Lidia looks badass. Can't wait. Also, what is this track, broseph? It goes hard AF

[@IAMOP]

[@TristanLaurens]

The dollification in T8 is getting seriously old. Lidia looked fierce in T7, her face was more defined, she had a different nose, her skin was much paler and her hair was platinum blonde. Now she's almost as blonde as Nina, her skin is as beige as Nina's, her face is as dead as Nina's. And her voice grunts are still super high-pitched and it pissed a lot of people in T7. I loved Lidia for how different she looked in T7 but now she's getting the same treatment as all the other girls... Why is it SO hard for Tekken devs to make women actually look like WOMEN? Do they ever go outside?

[@AZAZEL_TK]

You have the right to complain. But that’s the last thing you should be complaining about Tristan

[@TristanLaurens]

@@AZAZEL_TK I mean... I'll complain until I get Anna. Or until we actually get a newcomer that doesn't look like a barbie doll. Don't get me wrong, they look good, but it's all of them with the doll face. I like a little bit more realism on face graphics, if I'm honest.

[@bfFAN221]

Screw the dollface syndrome, ​@@TristanLaurens - I don't want another chick that doesn't look like she can do proper athletics next time. Don't want them jacked, but some of them gotta start having some more muscle definition soon...

[@AZAZEL_TK]

@@TristanLaurens I respect your opinion

[@fullmetal147258]

I Think TheMainManSWE made the same comment, they added so much personality on the male characters faces, with age/expression wrinkles, different builds, and the female characters all have the same doll faces, only weebs can't notice that.

[@Madheim777]

looks a bit weird having some blocks as stances, but still is interesting. unless her stances will work like heihachi's raijin stance, which parried. that would be pretty accurate.

[@IAMOP]

Her stances are based on famous karate katas

[@Madheim777]

@@IAMOP the katas are composed of different moves, both from attack and defense, which are used during the fight. katas are basically a simulation of a fight, aside from the different meaning and symbolization of each kata. in taekwondo is the same way (since is based on karate), we have the tules or poomsaes, so each move used in the tules can be used in a fight.
