I lowkey want to see your reactions on the King of Fighters XV (15) character trailers, a large selection of fighters from base roster to bosses to DLCs, you're bound to find some you'll like

[@elmaxo4942]

I really enjoy the video, if you want to know the tekken lore there a video called " the insane lore of tekken " by clementj64, its long but the guy made all the research for it ( also there a video called " tekken dont make a lick of sense " by ari that have some little details about yoshimitsu and other things )

[@ChocolateKieran]

@@skeleboi7699 I literally bought this game on Steam last week to react to Supers & try out! Hahaha, So definitely expect to see it 🫡

[@Squidward-jv7go]

There are a few more Tekken 8 character trailers that are left to come, and there are also a couple of Tekken 8 story trailers to watch that might give a little bit of an idea of what to expect in the story of tekken 8.

In Tekken, every character speaks their native language, but also understand what each other are saying lol.

[@immortalsaintgameplayenter9396]

Why do all characters speak different languages, yet they perfectly understand each other? It's because all characters use Samsung galaxy s24 ultra A.I features for real time translation during conversations😂😂😂😂 That's a verbal gangbang so to speak 🎉

[@rheawelsh4142]

I like to think studying languages is just a normal part of martial arts in this world, there's like a 99% chance you'll end up on a secret mission with a bulgarian cheesemonger who knows taekwondo or something so might as well be prepared

[@Guirko]

Bro really saw someone doing ballet and thought "french martial arts" 😅

[@venw.3655]

Here's an update on everything you were either confused or asking about. Raven is a ninja using Ninjutsu. Very different from Claudio's Magic which is used to literally exercise demons. Leroy didn't teach Martial Law. They are their own characters fighting with thier own styles. Raven is under Victor. Victor is the leader of Raven's unit. He uses the highest technological advancements of Humanity to fight. While Raven relies on Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. Reina is Heihachi's Daughter A.K.A Kazuya's and Lar's Sister. Until the story confims anything, Leo and Azucena do not know each other. Just a cute interaction. And the last attack is a shoulder attack (but granted... it's still wack 😂). Even though Hworang does Taekwondo, the martial art in English is roughly translated to Foot and Fist. They throw punches too, just known for more flashy kicks. Even though Youshimitsu is called "Space Ninja" it's a meme (just like Leroy being called Grandmaster of Drip). He's not from space at all (at least shown so far canonically). He's been in the game since the 1st and has been a staple since. Long story short, he's a ninja/swordsman who wields a cursed sword under the same name Youshimitsu. He's comes from this group called the Majin clan, and he's the Robin hood of the game (steal from rich, give to poor). As time has gone on, his costume design gets wilder. But nothing confirms he's actually from space. Shaheen isn't related to Claudio in any way. He's Arabic.

[@MartinKusimo]

Very good comment, but I don't know if I would go as far as saying Yoshimitsu is NOT from space. Just because he resides on planet earth and has humanoid proportions doesn't mean he cannot be an alien. After all, he does have a very strange, unearthly voice. And that's just the start of Yoshimitsu's strangeness. His appearance is always changing too. It's kinda like Clark Kent being a Kryptonian but also considered very much an American, if you get what I mean?

[@TheHKing14]

Also Feng Wei is on like a journey to fight every marital arts master and beat them to become the strongest and he beat Marshall Law and Paul Phoenix both at the same time and when it was time to fight Leroy he got his ass beat so now he is back for revenge 😂

[@mm-yq5dt]

​@@MartinKusimoHe's just somewhat possessed by the evil sword that is also called Yoshimitsu, also he can helicopter because his arm is a prosthetic.

[@levisamom5069]

I think the Leroy teaching marshal came from ip man teaching Bruce Lee but yeah in game they're separate characters

[@grantgarbour]

I heard the Hwoarang dialogue was a mistranslation and apparently in Korean they translated the word for like hits or attacks to "punches". Also Leo and Azu do know each other, or I guess will know each other. They interacted in the story trailer a bit so they will meet or have met

[@thatonenerd9252]

This is why Tekken is my favorite Fighting game franchise. The passion behind each game and the fun quirks about the series, like the family feud of the Mishimas and every character speaking there native language, just puts it on top for me. Cant wait to get Tekken 8!

[@InfernoTune727]

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

So as someone in your chat said: Steve's kick buttons are not actually kicks, just bobbing and weaving which lead to more moves. Half his moveset consists of ways to follow up a dodge, which makes him great at counterhits and poking. I think the only 'kick' move he has is a short-hop footstomp. In the right hands, he's absolutely terrifying because he just dances around you before destroying you with a flurry of punches.

[@qballa2787]

He used to have a hop kick I think when it was universal or maybe I’m wrong

[@nosoap4204]

He has a couple other kicks but they are intentionally so bad that you are trolling if you use them.

[@dillongeorge5866]

You are completely on point btw, almost all of Kazuya’s family has beef with each other, it’s pretty hilarious. Heihachi would yeet Kazuya off of a cliff for fun, and Heihachi’s own wife hired AKUMA FROM STREET FIGHTER to try and murder him in T7 😂

[@sebas7052]

It's actually so refreshing seeing a non tekken player reacting to tekken 8 not knkwing basically anything. There were plenty of references to gameplay and lore you missed obviously but honestly it's just really cool that people can have fun playing or watching tekken like this. Would love more tekken content too keep up the good work ❤

[@daro375]

I came to the comments to say all this but at the bottom of my heart it has been already said

[@igotnoideas1372]

This has got to be one of the best Tekken 8 reaction videos I've seen. Its always great to see people who are unfamiliar with the series see characters like Yoshimitsu and Kuma.

[@e.x.watson9997]

36:33 "What in the Duck Tales just happened" has to be the most pertinent comment I've heard about that trailer xD

I'm glad you see it too 😂

[@Decielo2807]

Reina is once again heihachi's daughter. when she say "you should find out soon" in the trailer she did heihachi, kazuya, and devil jin signature Electric Wind God Fist move

[@ChocolateKieran]

So it’s pretty much confirmed then? Thats interesting

[@rud5101]

​@@ChocolateKieran That's the current theory. If she is Heihachi's daughter, she would be Lars' and Kazuya's sister, and Jin's aunt.

[@Madheim777]

It's kinda confirmed since she she shares a lot of moves with Heihachi, and the stage where they fight is called Secluded Training Temple (with Mishima symbols everywhere)

[@AlgaInventory]

Dude, Heihachi has some serious wives problems to talk about. Kazuya's mom is Kazumi. Who's Lars's mom??? Lee is his adopted son So who's is Reina's mom, lol

[@smward87]

@@AlgaInventory Harada confirmed in a tweet Heihachi has 20+ children all around the globe. No one said anything about wives either lol. Kazumi was his one and only true love, and he did truly love her. After she died (by his hands) is when he became a heartless tyrant hellbent on world domination. So any woman he slept with after her was purely to create more heirs and to spread his legacy. Love and/or marriage never came into the picture. He probably didn't know the name of Lars or Reina's mothers either.

[@CameronsVideos]

I recommend ClementJ64's video called "The Insane Lore of Tekken", it's a good recap of all the lore from tekken 1-7. Also you don't need to press anything to do a standing block, if you don't press anything you're automatically doing a standing block. Also panda is a playable character but panda and kuma have identical gameplay. Nice reactions 🙂

[@Talessaga2]

Sure in Tekken 8 they give Panda some of Xiaoyu moves.

[@Dfso200x]

Also Kuma gets some Heihachi moves

[@scarletpsychowolf3578]

THANK YOU! ClementJ64's Tekken lore video deserves more attention. Tekken lore is extensive beyond the Mishima plot and I'm glad his video shines a light on nearly everything

[@prancinfairy]

[@CameronsVideos]

@@prancinfairy i think they're cousins or something of the sort

[@Madheim777]

Yoshimitsu is actually a normal human who uses ninja arts (a weird one, but still it), and he is Bryan Fury's rival since he slaughtered Yoshi's clan just for the lulz. About Bryan, he was a corrupt cop before, partner of Lei Wulong (another legacy character). He eventually became a cyborg and went on a killing spree, just doing havoc everywhere. His fighting style it would be kickboxing. Dragunov is a Spetnaz agent, who in Tekken 8 is on vacation s, rival of Victor and Raven (same organization) and his fighting style is Sambo. Panda is a separate character and is Xiaoyu's pet, while Kuma is Heihachi's pet and mastered more his owner martial arts, Mishima Karate. Paul is from US and is someone kinda a walking gag in the game, but still very powerful character who managed to fight evenly against Kazuya once, also managed to defeat the first form of a brutal creature called Ogre in the Third Tekken game. He's close friends with Law and also with Steve. His style is Judo and some sort of Karate. About Steve, was conceived while Nina was in cryogenization (she has 50 at least but her appearance is much younger due to the preservation) using her. She's a hired assassin along with her sister Anna, but both of them are enemies. In Tekken 8, Steve is depressed due to finding his mother but she rejected him so he is kinda lost and started to retrain himself. His style is boxing, of course. A fun fact about Kazuya: He has a hobby of collecting sneakers 😂

[@ReelRai]

The way the announcer says the character's names is so good!

[@kfpemployeeno.568]

The reason as to why Reina called Jin her senpai despite being Heihachi's daughter is due to the order at which they learned from Heihachi. Jin was taught first or in this case, an earlier disciple of the Mishima style.

[@bbk9742]

She just be sarcastic with that voice change back to her normal.

[@WTFHAX93]

They also went to the same school, before Jin dropped out. I think that's the more plausible reason as to why she calls him senpai.

[@Emuruh.]

Senpai can also be used in a mocking way when you don't like the person you're calling senpai. It's like you're belittling them.

[@lucastonoli3256]

​@@Emuruh.Not at all

[@lucastonoli3256]

They went to the same school, as far as we know Reina is still there, therefore Jin went first, making him her senpai. Very common in Japan to call a senior to your school or college "Senpai".

You should react to Tekken 1 - 6's as well as Tekken tag 1 & Tekken tag 2's endings. They all range from awesome to straight up Ridiculous. That way you can just play tekken 7's story mode without experiencing some of the most infamously busted bosses in tekken history. 😂 It would also be a easy way to help you get more knowledge on the characters.

[@Norbstarunner]

Paul didn't actually win Tekken 3. He beat the final boss, Ogre, then gapped it out of there. Then Ogre turned into his final form, True Ogre, whom Jin defeated. Canonically Jin won Tekken 3, and Paul is known as the guy who almost won. Great video too bro hope to see you play some Tekken sometime.

[@louieniall6890]

Just to clarify on some points: 1. That special move at the end is called a rage art, when the health bar gets low enough, the fighter will go into rage mode, boosting attack power, but also enabling the fighter to use their rage art once, consuming the rage mode. 2. In tekken 8 they introduced the heat system, which can allow the player to connect more combos and use a smash to gain an advantage, but this is temporary. 3. Kazuya possesses the devil gene, a genetic mutation passed down to him by his mother, and also passed down to his son, jin kazama. Originally though, after kazuya was thrown off a cliff as a child by his father, heihachi, he made a deal with the devil. In tekken 7 however they retconned this and changed the devil gene into a genetic mutation. 4. One person in the chat said that canonically paul was the winner of tekken 3, which isnt right. Although paul defeated the final boss ogre, he left straight after. But ogre transformed into true ogre and the tournament carried on. Jin later defeated true ogre. So paul didnt actually win the tournament. 5. All the tournaments have pretty much been used to lure in some of the mishima family members, or just for the mishimas to gain more power. T1, heihachi just wants a challenge, T2, kazuya just wants to show off his power, T3, heihachi wants more power, T4, heihachi wants more power by luring his son and grandson into the tournament, T5, jinpachi just wanted to be put out of his misery, T6 and T7s tournaments werent really relevant to the plot at all 6. King is a wrestler, although this is actually King II, as the first one was killed by ogre before tekken 3 started. This king was an orphan that was in King I’s orphanage. And yes, everyone can understand his jaguar growls. 7. Lars is also part of the mishima family, but is an illegitimate child of heihachi, making him kazuyas half brother and jins half uncle. 8. The robot is called jack. He was originally a weapon created by the mishima zaibatsu, but the person who created jack took her designs to g corporation. This jack is called Jack-8. There was gun jack in tekken 3, and prototype jack as well, but you get the gist of jack already. 9. Jun was presumed dead after her home was attacked by ogre, but only because jin thought she was dead. The creator confirmed she was just missing. 10. Ling xiayou is a friend of jins, they met in mishima high tech (smth like that) school. 11. Leroy was introduced as a dlc character in T7, but was also in the anime series tekken bloodline, which is set around tekken 3s story, though not fully lore accurate. 12. Asuka is a relative of the other kazamas, but the creator confirmed that she and jin are not cousins, and its more complicated than we think 13. Hwoarang is a character from tekken 3, and is jins rival. His name is also taken from the red belt pattern of taekwondo 14. Bryan is a cyborg who had a lust for destruction. He was a corrupt cop in hong kong i think but was eventually killed, but was later made into a cyborg by dr abel. He was abandoned by abel and was dying in tekken 4. He was given a new component which made him stronger, and allowed him to be as crazy as he wanted. Yoshimitsu hunts him down because bryan hurt a lot of his manji clan followers and the doctor that saved him. 15. Some characters in tekken 8 have special interactions with each other before a fight, like jin and hwoarang, bryan and paul etc. 16. Claudio was introduced in tekken 7. He is italian, and his magic power you see is because he is an exorcist 17. Marshall law is an amercian, his whole fighting style is just based on bruce lee 18. Reina is also an illegitimate child of heihachi, also making her a mishima. This would make her lars and kazuyas half sister. 19. Leo is not actually a male. Leos full name is eleonora “leo”klissen. Although the creator has said leo is a gender neutral character, many people just stick with was leo was born as, which is a female. 20. Yoshimitsu drastically changed every tekken game, hes an og character as well. His sword is also called yoshimitsu. 21. Kuma is heihachis adopted pet grizzly bear. Just like king, this is Kuma II as the original kuma died, and another bear cub was taken in by heihachi. 22. The announcer of every gameplay trailer is voiced by a woman. Best voice announcer ever. Unfortunately she only does the trailers, not the actual voice over in the game.

[@gxxffrey]

I'd like to break a little bit of the Mishima stuff down for you. The King of Iron Fist tournament started as a way a bunch of people could wrestle control over the Mishima Zaibatsu, which is the largest corporation in the world. Control the Zaibatsu, and you basically control the world. - Jinpachi Mishima is the founder of the Zaibatsu as well as the main antagonist of Tekken 5. - Heihachi is Jinpachi's son. He married a woman named Kazumi and she gave birth to Kazuya, but Heihachi found out that she possessed a power called the Devil Gene which basically made her evil. She tried to kill Heihachi and Kazuya but Heihachi killed her in self defense. He then proceeded to throw Kazuya off of a cliff to see if he had the same power as his mother. If he survived the fall, Heihachi would've been proven correct, and Kazuya did indeed survived the fall. Kazuya did know the reason behind any of this (until Tekken 7) and swore revenge against his father. - Kazuya meets Jun Kazama in Tekken 2 and they give birth to Jin Kazama. Years later in Tekken 3, Jin shows up to the King of iron Fist tournament with the goal to avenge his mother who disappeared when he was young. Heihachi ended up betraying Jin and he as well as Kazuya and Jin all came to hate/dislike each other over the course of Tekken 3 to Tekken 5. - In Tekken 6, Jin gains control over the Mishima Zaibatsu and starts World War 3 in order to bring out the creator of the Devil Gene, Azazel, so he can kill him and put an end to the Devil Gene permanently. This plan doesn't work and Jin ends up missing. - In Tekken 7, Heihachi returns to take control over the Mishima Zaibatsu while Kazuya acts as the head of a rival company, G-Corporation. In this story, through the interference of Akuma (yes, Akuma from Street Fighter), Kazuya finds out the truth about how his mom wanted him dead and decided to finally put Heihachi down for good, and he does exactly that. Jin returns at the end of the story to put Kazuya down for good and that's how we lead into Tekken 8, where the main conflict of the story revolves around Jin trying to defeat Kazuya. This isn't the 100% full story but it's the gist of it. Apologies to any die hard Tekken fans for missing out on any super important details!

The timestop is the new mechanic called Heat. When they activate by itself or by using a move that puts them into heat called a Heat engager it does that. Essentially put them into a hyper aggressive state where they get access to moves and properties to moves exclusively to when they are in Heat. Also Lars is a Tekken original character introduced in Tekken 6. bandai put him as a guest character in that storm game. Adding on. Tekken is a four button 3d fighter but combinations of those buttons lead to more moves and adding directional inputs. Each character has at least close to a hundred moves that includes strings, pokes, launchers, throws. the 3d aspect is that you and your opponent can take full advantage of the entire stage to move around, dodge and fight in.

[@sethmillerd6538]

Yoshimitsu is Namco's unofficial fighting game mascot, appearing in both of the company's main fighting games, Tekken and Soul Calibur, sense the beginning. He is technically considered two different characters between both games, but with a very similar move set with the only noticeable difference being Tekken is left-handed while Soul Calibur is right-handed. He is also known for his notoriously difficult to master move set that has a large number of attacks that deal self damage if done with an incorrect input, making button mashing players KO themselves more often than not.

[@Madheim777]

Heihachi was in Soul Calibur as well if im not wrong

[@xsnowbear20]

31:09 A simple description and role of Claudio is this: He has the power(the magic arrow and circle you're talking about) to exorcise the Devil Gene of Kazuya and Jin. Hence, he is an exorcist from Italy. Last Tekken 7, Heihachi learned of his existence and tried to recruit him to defeat Kazuya.

If you're still curious about the Tekken lore? Here's a brief rundown for you. Heihachi threw Kazuya off a cliff when he was a kid, with him reasoning that if his son could survive, he will acknowledge him as a worthy Mishima (this is later revealed that Heihachi did so to see if Kazuya had the Devil Gene from his mother, Kazumi, and when Kazuya survived, he was proven right). Kazuya would climb out and dedicate his life to getting strong, taking down many opponents, even drawing with Paul, until Heihachi announced the first King of Iron Fist Tournament to lure Kazuya. Kazuya ultimately won and would throw Heihachi down the same cliff. Heihachi is revealed to have survived, making Kazuya announce the second Tournament to finally kill his old man. Kazuya met Jun during this, who was investigating activities for Animal Rights that the Mishima Zaibatsu were covertly violating, and he found himself drawn to her. This all happened while Kazuya was battling for control against his inner Devil, with Jun being his anchor to whatever remained of his humanity. In the end, Heihachi would reach his son, brutalize him and throw Kazuya into a volcano after winning. There is a long gap between Tekken 2 and 3, where Jun gives birth to Jin after Kazuya was killed by Heihachi, raising him and imparting with him her teachings (belief and fighting style, the Kazama Traditional Karate), until one night, the Fighting God Ogre attacked their home in a remote small town, with Jun sacrificing herself to protect her son (Jin was 15 when this happened). After this, Jin followed his mom's instructions and sought out his grandfather, Heihachi, who took him in and taught him the Mishima Fighting Style (in Tekken 3, and ONLY in Tekken 3 does Jin have moves from both of his parents), before announcing the third tournament during Jin's 18th birthday to lure out Ogre. Paul wounded up beating Jin and Ogre, but he left thinking it was over, with Jin being left to defeat the newly transformed True Ogre and killing it, but Heihachi betrayed his grandson by shooting him dead, but Jin survives when his Devil Gene awakens. Tekken 4 is set 2 years after that, where Heihachi uses it to flush out Jin (who had went to Australia and unlearned the Mishima style and picked up traditional Karate instead out of hatred for his paternal bloodline) and Kazuya, whose body was found and revived by his rival company, G Corp. Heihachi and Kazuya end up temporarily working together, order the Tekken force to ambush Jin and kidnap him to take his power, but Jin beats both of them, and he only spares the two due to Jun's spirit still anchoring him to his humanity (at this point, Jin is having an internal feud between his two bloodlines, both vying for control over his destiny). G Corp betrays Kazuya and attempts to kill him with an arm of Jack bots, but he escapes and abandons Heihachi, who seemingly dies. The fifth tournament is announced by Jin's revived great grandfather, Jinpachi, who Jin defeats, making him the winner and the new leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Jin ends up kickstarting World War III in an effort to fill the world with negative emotions to awaken Azazel, who believes is the progenitor of the Devil Gene, and announces the sixth tournament as a ruse. His half-uncle Lars stops him and finds out why his nephew did this, which makes Jin sacrifice himself to kill Azazel. Unfortunately, he survives and suffers a coma. Heihachi returns and reclaims the Zaibatsu, and announces the seventh tournament to finally settle his feud with Kazuya, with the two later encountering Akuma (yes, THAT Akume), who his wife asked to kill both of them should they turn evil. In the end, Kazuya kills Heihachi for real this time, but his secret with the Devil Gene is exposed. Tekken 8 is set six months after Tekken 7, with Jin having awakened from his coma and wanting to atone for his reckless actions. It's poised to end the longstanding feud between the Mishima men, with Kazuya and his son, with whoever is left standing being the true victor.

[@metro0612]

Also worth mentioning: Kazuya, Lee, Nina, Law, Jack-8, Yoshimitsu and Paul have all been mainstays since the original Tekken (Paul and Law are best friends, and Kazuya once considered Paul a rival), while Jun hasn't been around since 2 (because she was considered KIA since Ogre attacked in the beginning of 3). Jin, Hwoarang, King II (the original King was in 1 & 2), Xiaoyu, Bryan and Kuma II have been around since Tekken 3. Steve from 4; Asuka, Raven, Feng, Dragunov and Lili from 5; Lars, Alisa and Leo from 6; and, Shaheen, Claudio and Leroy from 7. Azucena, Reina and Victor are newcomers in 8.

Reina is another of Heihachi's children, and the latest; the big reveal in the trailer is when Kazuya asks who she is, she just responds "you'll understand soon enough", and it immediately cuts to both of them using the exact same move on each other, the iconic Mishima Electric Wind God Fist.

So, some facts: -Both Jin and Kazuya carry the Devil Gene, which allow them to become demons and use their powers, but Jin hates it. -Jack is a series of robots that appeared in every game, being numbered according to each installment (except for Tekken 3, which is Gun Jack, and Tekken Tag Tournament, who has both Jack and Prototype Jack). -Bryan is a cyborg, being powered up by a cybernetic heart that makes him very powerful, but he's also a sadistic asshole. His special intro with Paul is a reference to the Tekken 6 opening, where they fight each other and their punches clash -Marshall is Chinese-American, and he's Paul's best friend -Leroy isn't Marshall's master. The only relation they have to each other, it's that in the Leroy reveal trailer in Tekken 7, the guy fought Law and Feng -Lili isn't French. She's from Monaco (which is a French-speaking country), and her fighting style is ballet-based, just like Manon. -Reina is Heihachi's daughter, thus, Kazuya's sister. -Kuma is Heihachi's pet, and Panda is Xiaoyu's pet. -King isn't a mutant. He's just a masked wrestler who takes his character VERY seriously. He was inspired by Tiger Mask, a manga/anime character who was a wrestler with a tiger mask. The character's influence was so big at the time that it became a real life wrestling gimmick, there being multiple pro wrestlers using the Tiger Mask persona -Yoshimitsu is actually just a guy. He just has some crazy outfits throughout the Tekken games, but the only inhuman thing about him is one of his arms, as it is robotic (which is why he can spin his sword like a propeller and fly like a helicopter with it). Him having a sword doesn't make him overpowered or anything. In fact, he's one of the hardest characters to play in the game. His sword, however, was revealed to be cursed in Tekken 6 (and it is also named "Yoshimitsu"). Also, Yoshimitsu is a title, not a real name, since in the Soul Calibur series, there are two other Yoshimitsus (the predecessors to the one in Tekken)

There are a few more Tekken 8 character trailers that are left to come, some of which are very unique and interesting characters with outlandish personalities/fighting styles, so I’d look forward to you reacting to them when the time comes (Lee Chaolon is my favourite but I’m sure the Alisa trailer whenever it comes out will surprise you lol) There are also a couple of Tekken 8 story trailers to watch that might give a little bit of an idea of what to expect in the story of tekken 8.

Couple of corrections here: 13:06 Kishimoto designed the costume that was in Naruto Storm 2, which was an alternate in Tekken 6. The default design is not Kishi's. 6:16 it is not Takehito Koyasu. Whoever said that to you was wrong

[@mistah3687]

So a bit of context for the Mishimas: as the person in chat said- Jin, Kazuya, and Heihachi all kinda hate each other. It’s sort of a running theme in Tekken’s main story: father vs son. And as such, it’s the main conflict in most of the Tekken games. The Mishimas have such distinctive playstyles and moves that they’re actually their own character archetype in Tekken meta. A signature move the Mishimas have is called the Electric Wind God Fist (very overblown name I know lol), basically a really powerful uppercut that incorporates lightning into the attack, and it’s a strong contender for one of the best moves in the game. All the Mishimas share similar movesets in game since they all use the same martial art, with the exception of Jin since he uses his mother Jun’s fighting style: Kazama style. Jin is considered a sort of pseudo Mishima since he has some similar moves to the others but they don’t fully align with the Mishima archetype I.e the Electric Wind Hook Fist. There are other moves Mishimas have in common but by far the most recognizable one and the most iconic one is the Electric Wind God Fist. Keep that in mind. That being said, I’ll switch gears to Reina. You made a pretty good observation by pointing out she has some type of involvement with the Mishimas. Her showcase against Kazuya was the big reveal as to why she’s a big deal. Their first clash was with *Electric Wind God Fists.* Yep, *Reina is a Mishima,* and the FGC lost its collective mind when it was revealed she was one because we haven’t had a new Mishima since Jinpachi from Tekken 5 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, well over a decade ago. She’s the secret daughter of Heihachi and by extension, Kazuya’s sister. She -for some God forsaken reason- idolized her dad while Kazuya very reasonably did not, leading to Heihachi’s (hopefully) final battle in a volcano (bear with me, Tekken lore is nuts) where he’s finally defeated and killed at the hands his son Kazuya. Following all this from Tekken 7, you can understand why Reina has some pretty bad beef with Kazuya. They may be siblings and Heihachi may have been a terrible person, but Reina still loved her dad, so there’s going to be some problems in the near future.

Tekken has a 4 button layout, where each button represents a limb. (That's why Steve as a boxer has his leg buttons to sway/dodge but he does have kicks though) +there is no overhead or anti air in Tekken. You have high, mid and low attacks. so your default block is not down back!!!

Thank you so much for explaining! That makes perfect sense

[@liv3vil-Kei]

@@ChocolateKieran No Prob. wish you an amazing entry into the Tekken (3D) World. PS: there is a shimmy option but in 3D we use side steps. Characters have a weak side for you to step. You gotta learn those. for example: the fastest attack is a jab (10f) if you shimmy that, the opponent can block before you can punish. so you sidestep or duck (if it's a high jab) and punish

To answer a couple of things: Jack is an OG Character. He was created at G-Corp (which is the rival to the Mishima Zaibatsu company).

[@PELAONEXI]

short explanation of what you don't understand the bar below life is called bar: heat, which has several uses in addition to the life chep 1- Heat Burst is generated when you press R1 and throw a special blow activating the heat bar (this blow is used to lengthen combos since it causes the character to bounce off the ground) 2- Heat Engager is done with certain specific hits that activate the heat bar upon impact 3- Heat Smash is the special finisher of the heat bar that is activated with the same R1 once the heat bar is activated 4- Heat Dash: certain blows after impact cause the enemy to crawl on the ground when holding --> after that hit and the enemy crawls or flies in the air, you will have your character run after him to generate some finish In addition, the characters are characterized by using the entire pad: left fist, right fist left kick, right kick, square or triangle, X, circle, it depends on the direction of the pad or lever and some button already mentioned, you can do different types of hits With one button you can do up to 8 or less, different hits depending on the direction from which you hit it.

"Some of them were speaking straight up Japanese, and this guy's speaking english." There are two characters that canonically growled at each other while a 3rd character understood everything they said. In another scene, Japanese, Italian, and English were being spoken by 3 characters and they all fully understood each other. Don't think about it too much. Tekken is off the rails on the storyline alone. The language barrier is the least of the problems.
