Tekken 8 All Character Trailers Reaction & Draft

[@Netsaver]

Asuka is Jin's Cousin and she came out of literally nowhere in terms of story. She's never been explained, or given any form of backstory all we know is that she's a Kazama and she has never met either Jin or Jun canonically.

[@KapitanWasTaken]

We know that her father was assaulted by Feng Wei, thus she entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. She knows that Jin is her relative but nothing much else. Also due to defeating Lili during Tekken 5, Lily became her self-proclaimed rival.

[@theolanderdilag3872]

In terms of gameplay, she was supposedly the echo fighter for Jun after her appearance in Tag 1 (even has the pose of Asuka); Tekken 5 never really expanded that much into her and now she's been dropped down as Lili's probable lesbian rivalry.

[@Faust294]

Just like a real cousin

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Okay so that may be why we didn’t remember her if not much is known yet about her 🤔

[@pikachu3b366m]

Actually, them being cousins is a misconception. It's already been confirmed that Jin and Asuka aren't related. They just share the same clan name which is the Kazamas. I remember Harada himself confirmed this a few years ago.

[@bro-brolostinthought81]

Bethany got the whole family tree😂😂😂 Larz an Kaz: brothers Jun an Jin: mother and son Asuka an Jin: cousins

Fun facts about Leroy, he was the first DLC character for Tekken 7, completely new character into the franchise as well. For Tekken 8, he was either the first character or one of the first characters revealed. His dog's name is Sugar. He's also voiced by Beau Billingslea in the English version of the games, Beau voiced Jet Black in Cowboy Bebop and Ay, the Fourth Hokage in Naruto Shippuden

[@filipnassen9076]

I’m definitly with Team Beth. We’ll see How things look like when the next trailers drop.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

☺️🥳

[@ny6978]

I'm a Lili main so I have to speak up for her, she has always had *the* best, or top few best sidesteps in the game. She has a lot of evasive launchers, meaning if you choose the wrong move, she can both dodge your attack and start a combo on you at the same time. Her moves are very linear though so she is conversely easy to dodge, but her moves hit like a truck. This game added a lot of new low hit options and mixups for her.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Nice. Thanks for giving us more info on how Lili plays in the game 😀

[@Mewwnii]

Lili is my favorite Tekken character 🥲It took forever but i'm glad they finally got to her reveal trailer

Jun Kazama is amazing hands down she’s my favorite in Tekken since Tekken 2

[@andywangatshifhango4204]

Fun fact if you were wondering. King is just wearing a mask. His wrestling gimmick is he always makes leopard sounds and refuses to speak normally. So every roar is in fact him saying something.

[@lonelyratgirl3688]

You guys kinda fighting over Hwoarang during his trailer made me happy xD he's been my main since Tekken 3, I love him (and his attitude 😂). So I'm obviously team Ken here xD Awesome reaction as always! 👌💜 Also Asuka and Jin are relatives, but we don't know yet how close in the Kazama family tree they are

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎🤟🥳

[@Blackflame24]

No offense, I like Hwoarang. But you traded up Jin for him!? Come on man, you’re gonna let Beth get all the good characters!

[@toonman5099]

- Lars: He WAS the protag of Tekken 6 specifically, but Jin has reclaimed his role as series protag. - Hwarang: Not really, he IS Jin's rival but he's not much of a protag because the main interesting conflict and story of these games that they're focusing on is the drama of the Mishima clan and those that are related to it. - Azucena: It's not that she's addicted, it's that she's the sponsor of her own brand. You can sometimes see ads for it on the billboards in the New York stage.

[@Bosca2]

There's 32 characters total and we still gotta get trailers for 13 of them I think? 😅 My mains Julia and Anna sadly got cut tho. 😢 I'd give the win to Ken for Azucena, Hwoarang and Nina.

i cant even tell you the death grip these trailers been havin on me i go back n rewatch the Kazuya one like once a week its too good, excited asl for the game to come out

Asuka Kazama's mother is a Kazama, but we don't know in which way Asuka's mother is related to Jun Kazama. Not siblings though, as Asuka is Jin's cousin lol

[@Junweitrustnobody1403]

Then Jun would be Asuka's aunt and Lars been her uncle?

[@KapitanWasTaken]

@@Junweitrustnobody1403 Asuka is stated to be Jin's cousin in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion's Scenario Campaign, her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 profile, and one of Xiaoyu's win quotes in Street Fighter X Tekken; however, Harada-san has stated on Twitter that she and Jin's family relation is "not that simple."

Now that yall are getting into Tekken, i really suggest reacting to the Tag Tournament 2 endings as well Each character with its own unique style of endings is definetly worth it

[@shadowclonemaster]

Do you guys play Tekken? Because some of the reactions I read from you two are that for some character trailers, it looks like you don't know all of them. Like with Raven and Leroy

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We have not played Tekken. We’ve done some videos on cutscenes and lore but Raven and Leroy weren’t really touched upon. We are probably going to play the story mode for 8 though 😅

[@shadowclonemaster]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames sorry I understand you're not a fighting game player but yeah, sometimes I can't tell if you're confused or aren't interested that's all. But Raven works for the United Nations his design is inspired by Blade and he was replaced by Master Raven in Tekken 7 because his playability was low and they switched genders to see if that would work which speaks for itself

[@FLStyle]

Asuka Kazama is a distant relative and hasn't factored into the Kazuya, Jun and Jin story

[@LuCKYLaST]

Asuka is Jin’s cousin

[@WukongMods]

yeah they aren't done releasing characters and they revealed 9 characters a bit ago but they didnt get full trailers yet just a few seconds of footage

[@elvinmacospag6989]

Paul being so happy and having that goofy smile on his face is fantastic. Man is like 50 and still an absolute badass. Also, Jin ended Tekken 7 with control of his devil side, that's why his iteration in 8 has moves from his devil form. He's closer to old self, as shown by his outfit being closer to Jun's: entirely monochromatic with red gloves. Starting in T6, he starts using quotes from his Devil self, like "I will teach you the meaning of fear." One of his intro lines in T8 is "Power isn't everything", closer to his T3 self.

Today, Peru ranks 11th on the list of coffee exporting nations, but it's the second-largest coffee producer among all countries in South America (behind Colombia). Besides her background story about having a farm of Coffee and her being the image of it. She´s supposed to be fighting in Machu Picchu and the fighting style is based on a Typical dance from Peru called Danza de Tijeras (Scissors Dance) that is similar to a native Break dance.

OMG!!! YOU REACTED TO THE CHARACTER TRAILERS!!! 😍 Raven’s trailer was such a badass. Paul Phoenix’s new look had mixed reviews from the Tekken community for various reasons. Jun Kazama’s return is always what I’m waiting for since Tekken 2, her interaction with Kazuya was emotional and intense at the same time. Her rage art made my jaw dropped on that one. Jin’s mother finally made an epic comeback!!! Hwoarang’s reveal trailer is my most favorite so far, he had a glow up and the special interaction with Jin made my jaw dropped because I already knew it will happen and I hope Hwoarang has an interaction with Xiaoyu because I remember their interaction in Tekken: Bloodline despite it was non-canon. The new character Azucena was so funny, the coffee ad in the end brought me a lot of laughter and I love how energetic she was. Asuka is Jin’s cousin, it was sad that she never met Jin or even her Aunt Jun canonically. Actually, Asuka did found out that Jin is related to her. Kazuya’s trailer gave me goosebumps especially for his nickname as “Cold-Blooded Oppressor”, I think he finally got what he wanted which is to be the next big bad just like what Clement said in the insane lore of Tekken video. Other than the gameplay, I’m also waiting for the entire story mode, because I’m excited for another father-son rivalry once again which focuses on Jin and Kazuya. Dragunov, Steve Fox, Shaheen, Leo, Yoshimitsu, Panda, Feng Wei, & Kuma were announced to return in the game as well. Please react to the Tekken 8 characters’ special interactions, intros, & win poses. Thank you for reacting to the character trailers 🤘
