I like how they are differentiating Asuka from Jun. Originally, back in the "Jun is dead" days, Asuka was brought in to replace her. However, in TTT2, you could start seeing the differences, since they were both in the game. And now that Jun is finally back in the mainline series, they've differentiated them even further.

[@ShaneDouglas713]

Yup

[@dontbothertoreply9755]

but they failed, instead of a more face to face functional hybrid of the Kazama fluidity with power she is just hitting like a truck losing grace, agility, and dexterity, they made her into some Bryan 2.0, a complete dissaster.

I like how there’s emphasis on all the character’s abilities and utilities. The Kazamas have some sort of light based-magic or aura, the Mishimas have more electric attacks, Law uses nunchucks, Nina uses pistols, Jack 8 uses more weapons, and Leroy uses a cane.

[@muchluck7981]

Everyone has some kind of launching kick or knee or whatever move into a divekick now. Jin has one, Lars has one, and now Asuka. And Master Raven (if she returns, or could be the male Raven instead, whatever) has QCF+3,4 which I guess it counts too

She *NEEDS* to have a big role in the main Mishima bloodline story. She is Jin's cousin and Jun's niece. Her Tekken 5 ending showed how she was the only character able to cleanse the Devil Jin showing her huge potential in the story (They dropped the ball obviously). Despite the Devil gene under his control, Jin may still need the support of another Kazama.

[@MrInuhanyou123]

It will be jun who plays the part of the cleanser and a big part of the story along with xiaoyu. Asuka will not play a big part and will be comic relief along with lili again. Her Tekken 5 comic relief ending was just that, a comic relief Easter egg showing the unconscious natural power kazamas have that Jun has essentially mastered. I'm not sure why some people think asuka has a place in the wider story when she literally never has, her introduction was only about beating feng to begin with

[@lucaswibisono1316]

sadly, that's a fact. To nail it down, even Jin doesnt recognize her. Maybe Jun will notice her, but I kind of doubt it. But as of right now, she's the Sakura's to Lili's Karin (the classic female Street Fighter rivalry)

[@jahoyhoy55555]

Her ending also showed that she indeed has huge breasts. Unfortunately, I think that she'll remain a comic relief, knowing Harada.

[@calebstephan2083]

I like how the three kazamas use the kazama fighting style in a unique way. Since the kazama fighting style is mainly a defensive fighting style that focuses on defense it mainly has to be mixed with an offensive style. Jin mixes his with the Mishima fighting style as his offensive style, jun uses traditional karate for offense to complement the kazama defensive style and asuka just uses street brawling as her offensive fighting style to complement her Kazama fighting style. Gotta love it. Also I hope they finally reveal how asuka is related to Jin. We know they're related since they have the same last name and asuka also uses a variant of the kazama style but it's not confirmed yet how she is related to the kazamas. Also that scene from one of the past games, I believe it was the Lars ending showed asuka at the family dinner between the Mishimas and kazamas which confirms she is indeed blood related to Jin. Eventhough that ending is a character ending hence not being canon it still shows asuka with the other blood relatives shown between the Mishimas and kazuyas. They didn't include the non blood relatives like lee who is heihachis adopted son meaning those were all blood relatives in that ending.

[@TonyKalashnikov]

Probably Juns younger sister or something, wont be a half Mishima sibling

[@IIYamiSanII]

I was with you until you said Jin mixes Kazama MA with Mishima-Style MA. The entire reason present Jin isnt Tekken 3 Jin anymore is because he ABANDONED Mishima-Style MA, and, adopted Karate. Have you never played Tekken 4? The only resemblance to Mishima-Style MA is when he has the Devil Gene active.

[@prvtthd401]

Correction: Jin mixes Kazama style with Mishima karate in Tekken 3, then switched Mishima with Kyokushin karate from Tekken 4-7. In Tekken 8 it seems to me he mixes Kazama style with Kyokushin, Mishima and Devil Gene powers.

Just from the trailers alone I feel confident they did my girl justice. I was worried when I saw Jun that Asuka wouldn't be back or that they would be too similar. It looks like Jun's moveset is far more graceful while Asuka, in true Asuka fashion, is a bruiser. Now I look forward to playing both.

[@Reofenja]

The moves look a lot better, but I have no faith in her story importance. I mean, Law is still broke and using the foreclosure storyline. The man has been broke since Tekken 2 or 3. If you aren't a Mishima, chances are that you don't matter to Harada.

[@dearikj90]

@@Reofenja I gave up on anyone's story relevance a long time ago. I mean, Panda exists. I was just worried that Asuka wouldn't be in the game with Jun's return. Historically Asuka was supposed to be Jun's replacement and took a lot of moves from her. The dev team made it their mission to weed out all the clone characters and give everyone their own unique fighting style with the exception of Kuma and Panda. I'm just happy that Asuka and Jun are made to be very distinct in this one so that they can both exist. I want to play both.

[@Mastabacc]

@@dearikj90 To be honest, I am not happy. Since Jun was the originator, I wanted her to have those movesets as she was my main back in Tekken 2/Tag. So when I saw that Jun was back I was very hyped, but then I saw her moves were different.

@@RnRs77795 It was not canonical, but it hinted the possibility that Kazama females can negate the devil gene. She probably doesn’t know since she wasn’t looking at Jin. But my guess is if she’s part of the story, then she’d become Jun’s pupil in suppressing Jin’s devil form. It would also mean that Jin will introduce himself to the rest of the Kazama family. It will be funny if Kazuya also appears and fights the whole Kazama family for the child support that he owes Jun. It would be even more awkward if Jin’s uncles from the Mishima side joined as well.

I hope so too. But realistically speaking, not gonna happen if Lili has something to say about it. And wherever Asuka goes, she sure as hell will follow. Just look at what happened to her and Feng's rivalry - gone, forgotten about and replaced with Lili by the time Tekken 6 rolled out. I really, sincerely want to be wrong on this one, and I don't even play Asuka.

Nice to see Asuka back. One of the few I was waiting for since I played her briefly in T7, although it looks like her playstyle MAY have changed a bit. I don't know if I love the outfit but I LOVE the Rage Art. It might actually be my favourite so far, or tied with Xiaoyu's. Mostly waiting on Dragunov (my main) and Lidia now.

[@jacoborioncarreon3945]

Me as the Asuka Main just want to say that I hope Asuka has a pretty impactful Role for the Story tho, Especially She was a Kazama too same like Jun and Jin, Asuka definitely needs to get involved for her development and also Lili and Eliza could probably do something in the story too But again, This was for Asuka, no complaints thank you 😌🙌✨💙

[@dontbothertoreply9755]

I agree, she was the one able to heal Jin, not Xiao, she was the one who had the balance back but they fucked it up, same with Hwoarang who should have been the new protagonist, same with Lili who should have been the main force against them a place was given to Lee because of the memes, the story is bs by now.

[@sabishi7609]

[@Invisiblekatana]

I love that her special is like an ultra version of her face grab technique, that's my favorite move, especially as a final blow.

It's like Asuka's saying "oh, Jun's back into the mainline? Good! Now I can be my own self!" and I love it. I know Asuka always had her own move and animations separate from Jun's, but you can totally feel that she is TRULY her own self now. I love how much more of her own personality and character are in her attacks and animations instead of mainly in the lore and voice. It's like Asuka doesn't have to follow in her footsteps anymore as basically her younger replacement. I'm just so happy with what they did with her, and it makes me happier with Jun returning too.

@@timothydevlin9774 "Real Applications" for a video game character seems weird to me . However, I agree also because there is no fucking sense in applying a martial art that was specifically developed for spiritual elevation by an ultra pacifist martial arts nerd in "real world applications", whatever these words would mean. What I was referring to is that I personally like those "aikido inspired" moveset because they are a reference on the widely used concept in japanese martial arts (aikido, judo, sumo, karate, ju kitsu) to use the opponent strength against him.
