I find it so wild how this trailer was literally THE FINAL BATTLE of the Story Mode, and somehow this trailer spoiled NOTHING about the final battle.

[@blueshot333]

The only few difference I found from the trailer and the final battle is 1.Their Lower Garments aren't the same 2. When Kazuya gets up after landing your QTE his eyes doesn't glow in the final battle (If you played the story mode ofcourse you'd know why)

We are now at a point wherein combos are so iconic that they are deliberately included in the fight scenes of Tekken trailers and shows. I love it EDIT: I can see some passionate comments below. But we can still all agree that it’s a good time to be a fan of Tekken (or fighting games in general).

when Tekken 8 actually became real the first impression that came to my mind was "oh I can't wait to see max's reaction! he can go crazy seeing how cinematic the trailer is presented" but seriously, the graphic jump from Tekken 7 to 8 is really increased drastically, hopefully this is not just a sweetener in the trailer

[@dragonfx310]

I noticed Kazuya performs a back dash just before he evades Jin's punch and the slo-mo activates. Maybe they're implementing a reward system for timing back dashes?

[@Dracobyte]

Maybe!

[@KoufalKoufax]

that would be bad they shouldnt do that that's not rewarding at all it just makes the game easier

[@parry3439]

is whiffing not enough for a reward? maybe a bit of slowmo helps new players react

[@KoufalKoufax]

@@parry3439 doing slow mo is disruptive

[@rogueisded]

I’ve been so hyped for T8 since it was revealed and 2 weeks after launch, man did it not disappoint. Genuinely one of the most polished, complete and fun games to come out in recent memory and is the best Tekken has ever been. Harada and the team absolutely smashed it. Amazing, amazing work.

[@vulcanh254]

7:39 Damn, now that I watch it again I think that's actual gameplay. The zoom on Kazuya's arm is a string ender and you probably only get that cinematic under certain conditions. It's actually genius if you think about it. Why only have cool things like that during supers? You could make all throws and some strings look badass too. The only thing is they shouldn't always be slow down / cinematic, only sometimes.

[@EternalEdgeLord]

Maybe something like MK11's Krushing Blows but purely cinematic without affecting gameplay?

[@RizalBoon]

If it used wrongly or too much, it could be too disorienting on the camera during the fight.

[@mas8705]

Oh, how wonderful it will be if we got to see some more details this week during the Tokyo Game Show. Harada would have everyone by the throat and ready to toss them off a cliff at any moment. This was definitely a hell of a way to start off the showcase.

[@myriadmediamusings]

The implication that Jin finally has control over his devil is immediately getting my lore-obsessed mind thinking on what could happen for the story. Kazuya and Jin fully pushing forward to destroy each other now that Heihachi bit the dust? Status of the other affiliated characters to the Mishimas and even those whose stories have jack diddly squat to do with them? The precise moral alignment of Jin? This being a catalyst for Jun to finally return and resolve this decades-old mystery on her fate since Tekken 3?

[@IamNster]

Lol you think Heihachi really died huh? Nah. He's gonna come back because Tekken be Tekken, and the big final battle is gonna be a big ass three way where you get to choose who you get to fight as with subsequent alternate endings. Make it happen Harada! ..and oh yeah. Akuma is there I guess. Lol.

[@ElbowDropper]

@@IamNster hopefully akuma and Eliza don't come back. Heihachi maybe gone for good but who knows they could revive him like they did kazuya in T4

[@DemonSaine]

@@IamNster the Mishima Zaibatsu is going to merge Heihachi's soul with a robot body he had built just in case Kazuya actually managed to somehow kill him one day or some tekken shit lol. I hope for the story's sake he is actually dead though, it wouldn't do it any justice if he somehow survived and would honestly ruin all the tension lol

[@bernardpoupart]

Mate i just want the development of the nina-anna-steve storyline, i mean we waited 15 years just to confirm something we already known since 4 and 5 and reusing plotlines that exist since 1(for anna x nina), tekken need to flourish more lore of the side characthers in general.

People who didnt grow up on Tekken 2 or Tekken 3 dont understand how it feels to see this Tekken 8 trailer. The characters are alive. What a long way we came. Lets go!

[@AlhazredTheMad]

I have a suspicion we're seeing a few new elements, from the weave-back slowmo to the muscle bulge punch, that these are newly introduced in-fight cinematic flair mechanics. Even Jin's kick following that sequence (not the run-up leading to) where he kicks Kaz in the head and Kaz stands back up, I think that's supposed to be a new Round Start.

[@AmarettoRawr]

I hope you're right- this is like a 3-D version of how Guilty Gear Strive has those flairs with certain moves and I'm here for it

[@xikpart]

now that would be a great round start but T7 story mode had those between round cutscenes too and the gameplay didnt.

[@erichbauer3991]

I didn't even think about some of the cinematics being actual round transitions but if it's true it'd be hype as fuck. I really hope this is what normal vs matches look like and not just the story mode.

[@Canalbiruta]

my god if you're right this game will be the hypest shit to watch fights

[@tiger-rgn]

rewatching the same round finish-start after the 1000th time, its going to get old, so i hope this is story mode exclusive

[@MattSipka]

3:14 the fact Max has to point out the disclaimer at the beginning to show it’s not full a full cinematic trailer just shows how few people actually read those.

[@TheWcasey]

They never will but I would love for the entrance to every fight be like a little cinematic between the characters fighting a little bit and then transitioning into their fighting positions.

[@GoB1996]

I mean if nether realm can have the actors record dialogue for every specific character interaction before a fight, I don’t see why they can’t do that for Tekken. This game has so much legacy just in regards to character models in animation, I can’t imagine it would take too long to animate 10 second cut scenes of the characters fighting before the game

[@parry3439]

it would have to be predetermined moves man. the amount of characters and the permutations of the possible intros would take WAYYYY too much time lol

I could see the cinematic camera angles of the muscles rippling before the impact being implemented in Tekken 8 in a similar (if not the exact same) way as MK 11 crushing blows. Require the player to perform certain actions, then they get rewarded with more damage, and an awesome animation

[@gliath888]

Tekken 7 already has this, in the way some moves work on Counter hit. They will perform a mini cinematic after the hit. So it seems like they are bringing it back as a mechanic and/or probably expand it so more moves can do it.
