[@bre4kd0wn1]

As far as I know, Dragunov is one out of three Tekken characters who is technically an MMA fighter. Yes, he is a Sambist, but Sambo itself is a mix of Judo, (Amateur/Combat) Wrestling, Jiujitsu, and a little bit of Boxing and Kickboxing. In Dragunov's case, his Sambo utilizes mostly Ne Waza Judo, a little bit of Freestyle Wrestling, and lots of Military Kickboxing. The other two fighters are Paul Phoenix and Craig Marduk. Marduk is self-explanatory since he is basically a big bad Alexander Volkanovski in Heel persona, but Paul is a Karateka/Tang Soo Do practitioner, Judoka, and Kenpo practitioner, meaning he is a mixed martial artist, or an MMA fighter, just not in a modern sense like the one you see in UFC, ONE Championship, or PFL. Being a US American, Paul probably wrestles during highschool, too, unless he never even attended school in the first place. EDIT: Forgot to mention Lee Chaolan. He practices (Mishima-style) Karate, (Wang Jinrei's) Kenpo, and (probably Law's) JKD, which means he is also a mixed martial artist, but in a traditional sense. Looking at his Sway, he probably practices Boxing or Kickboxing, too.

[@r3a1itygamezz14]

Bruce, Josie, Fahkumram, Hwoarang, Baek

[@bre4kd0wn1]

@@r3a1itygamezz14 Bruce is a kickboxer, and Fahkumram a Muay Thai practitioner, as far as I know. They don't seem to practice anything else. As for Hwoarang and Baek, if they also practice Hapkido, then, yes, they are also MMA fighters, but in a traditional sense. Not entirely sure about Josie Rizal.

[@ErnestoTorres-hw7du]

not kickboxing it has karate. shotokan or kyokushin in kicks

[@bre4kd0wn1]

@@ErnestoTorres-hw7du Striking-focused traditional martial arts tend to have not only similar, but outright identical techniques because either they have the same roots, the art stems from other art, or each practitioner come up with the same technique despite never meeting each other. Taekwondo, for example, has Karate as its parenthood, while Karate has Chinese martial arts (presumably Kenpo, Wushu, or Hung Gar). This is why you see both arts have Axe kick in among their techniques, as seen in Heihachi, Kazuya, Jin, Lee, Hwoarang, and Baek's movesets. The most commonly used technique that is shared by pretty much any striking-focused martial arts AND combat sports (that isn't boxing) is the Roundhouse kick. You see them in Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Sanda, Silat, Savate, and of course, Kickboxing. FYI, Muay Thai, Karate, and Taekwondo practitioners all compete in Kickboxing, and I assure you would hardly tell the difference whether the fighter practice Muay Thai, Karate, or Taekwondo, simply because of how similar (or, again, outright identical) most of their techniques are. That said (or TL;DR), the kicks you see in Bruce could belong to Kickboxing, Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, or any other striking-focused arts because they all have similar kicking techniques, so similar that if you show a Taekwondo practitioner Bruce's moveset, he/she would say Bruce's kicks are Taekwondo's.

[@ponkhan]

​@@bre4kd0wn1​ Bruce is commonly accepted as Muay Thai I believe, especially since his lore has him as a MT champ. But more sport version as opposed to Fahkumram's traditional form. There's a video somewhere where some muay thai fighters react and comment that Fahkumram's form is closer to Muay Boran than the more common Muay Thai at times.

[@ArchonKujo]

I can't get enough with him at the end, the man that never smiles, keep it that way Dragunov. Edit: I did some research yes he smiled a few times, but of course it ain't a friendly one.

[@matthiasjones]

I'm always fascinated by what makes Tekken *feel* unique, given all the excellent fighting games out there, and Dragunov is a great example. He feels like a complete character, and yet, he has so very little to him. The personality is carried not by a story, but through impeccable characterization. No voice, yet every animation, the flow of his moveset, his interactions with the fourth wall... they are all informed by characterization. It's what makes the main roster so memorable.

[@slick571]

well said

[@RealMrSmile]

His style is probably the most lethal in the entire game So many of his moves would either kill a person(neck break), make you unable to move properly(one of his 50 leg and arm breaking grabs), or can potentially give you permanent damage(the grab where he brutally knees the back of your head) He became my favorite Tekken character next to Kazuya

[@RealAstroWhale]

@@RealMrSmile It's commando sambo, a russian martial art where the goal was to painfully injure your opponent as much as possible, although Drag's style of his Comm Sambo has a similar goal that Krav Maga has, to maim your opponent with the least time or effort, hence why so many of Dragunov's moves aim to inflict fractures.

[@NoIntroductionNeeded.]

And here comes Sergei Dragunov with his unmatchable Drip and Swag, his drip alone is enough to K.O his opponents also, I really like how they kept the legacy by making him silent again, while rest all characters are talking the most.

I can't give enough credit to the sound designers at Bandai Namco. All the punches and kicks sound so juicy and brutal. I always loved that about Tekken, really makes you think "If any of these fighters hit me IRL i'd have stomachaches and broken bones for years"

[@smartie354]

No, the sound fx are too, over the top right now. Everything sounds EPIC, so the sound engineering is imbalanced. Regular moves connecting shouldn't sound like a powerful blow as, say, in 'heat mode' or the RA. Everything sounding the same ruins the immersion imo.

[@smartie354]

@@Sepia1989 Of course, we would! Tekken's regular fighters that aren't a Mishima or a Kazama with the devil gene are obviously, far stronger than the strongest, fittest human being in our world today. Apart from the ability to juggle someone's full bodyweight in the air lol, we have characters like Paul who can punch through a solid, brick wall. You know the physics behind someone being able to do that? It's impossible. Jack or Bryan doing it totally makes sense because they would have the required mass and energy. If Paul is really that strong, then he should really be winning matches with literally, one punch. That amount of force would crush organs, bones etc. And I say all this as a Paul main since Tekken 2😅

[@larryriehl9463]

@burni988 Never played DR only OG Tekken 5, so that's news to me. Still, I think Tekken 4 and prior solidifies what's a legacy character and what's not, considering how many characters are in Tekken 5 yet aren't in Tekken 7 or 8

[@burni988]

@@VermilionGates at this point I'm personally happy to consider Tekken 5 Dr, and earlier legacy, it's getting close to 20 years old having released in 2005. Even some Tekken 6 characters like Alisa and lars feel kinda legacy, but that's more just because of how much they've been part of the story. I think Tekken 5 Dr is a fair place to consider legacy characters, but I still think Tekken 3 characters and earlier are like the "ultra" legacy characters. I also don't think it makes sense to say that just because a lot of Tekken 5 characters aren't in Tekken 7/8 means that they're not legacy characters. Some games just choose to have a lesser focus on legacy characters.

You can't hate Dragu ❤ the mix up with d1 and the kick at 1:36 are appreciated. I feel like he will have more lunches, which sounds awesome. JDCR must be happy rn

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

The stoic nature of Dragunov always draws me. Always sends his message without saying a word.

[@gabrielvelosa2597]

Dragunov don't need talk, Talk needs Dragunov 😊❤

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

Watching this again with headset on and was laughing when I noticed he was humming while doing his wall grab at 0:58

[@qslife3207]

OMG!!!! I am not a Dragunov player at all but this trailer made me want to start. It seems like he has more quick moves that will make him a problem. I’m all around excited for the new T8 roster.

[@HakuFreak19]

He was the first character that I main in Tekken. Started playing TK6, but never played it except in the arcade. Had my booty clap so many times cause I had never played it before, was always a King Of Fighters person. But yeah seeing this made me want to play again. Also, his movements seem looser, not too stiff, and those counter. Can't wait!!

[@ThatchNetherfold]

@@HakuFreak19 Same here. Dragunov is the first character I mained and I can't stop playing him due to his fighting style summarized in three words - simple, brutal, effective.

[@ThatchNetherfold]

His moves are not as fast as Lars, but has stronger groundwork and simpler chain combos in comparison.

I love dragunov because he don't talk. he let his fist do the talking❤‍🔥

No doubt one of the most awaited characters FINALLY is here!! I like alot his moveset definetely they did really an amazing work As always tekken team never disapointed

[@AssassinatorScout1]

Dragunov….. 😢 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@christineferreira2181]

Drag has been one of my favorites since he started. He looks even more badass.

[@gabrielvelosa2597]

Since Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection he's badass

[@adamantium4797]

​@@gabrielvelosa2597yes

[@HoDoBoDo]

Eventhough his VA died last year, I'm glad they were able to get a new VA to do his grunts for T8. I wish he spoke a little, sort of like Black Bolt in Inhumans (instead for Drag just short Russian phrases), but I'm happy with what we got.

[@vozcreativarg255]

The best part of each presentation is when the announcer mentions the fighter's name, I love it!!!! 😂

[@searchinforacircus]

Sergei is my favorite character since Tekken 5: Dark resurection. I've played with him for the most of my time. I have a tattoo dedicated to him and well ... He's simply the Best in my personal opinion.

[@thomashughes4977]

Like his new outfit in Tekken 8. I also love the fact that he's that one character who does more ass-kicking than the talking, because we never know what intentions he has on his mind. 😁

[@AzriAzhari]

One of my favourite trailers. And I love his RA, it's fast and no nonsense, perfectly suits his personality

[@ncpmadhead]

Surely that win pose at the very end will be a meme?? 🤣 Dragunov looks sick, amazing trailer

[@lotusdragontamer]

You know what this character needed, more forward momentum I love how his victory animation is "So you about to snitch huh..."

[@YorBury]

He follows the "Snitches gets stitches" rules🔥🔥🔥

[@minersteven6180]

Dragunov’s voice actor is a great addition to his character. Really gives off that extroverted vibe :D

[@MoonPraiser]

Love to see Dragunov, he's one of the best in the cast since Tekken 5. Fun Fact: For some reason my girl really like him a LOT ever since the first time she saw him, is kinda odd, but whatever, Dragunov is cool.

[@okami3186]

Not odd at all. Certain people love battle scars and soft spoken individuals. He has a fur coat now. EVEN BETTER.

[@MoonPraiser]

@@okami3186 well Dragunov doesn't even speak at all, so... Cool I guess.

[@TacDonut]

The lore between him and Victor seems cool! Can’t wait to see more

[@ulascancicek9835]

Before he leave, he had stopped to say goodbye. What a good guy:)

[@TheFighter411]

Drag’s drip is pretty damn FIRE, and that win pose is EVERYTHING. He’s like, “Yeah, I just beat this person up….so what? 😒” Perfect. 👌🏽😌

[@gravekeepersven82]

I like this

[@shawnbenjamin9636]

I personally like the one where he pulls the camera aside as if saying "Get that out of my face".

[@gravekeepersven82]

@shawnbenjamin9636 he was about to smoke 🚬 the camera man on sight.

[@YonkoDGoofy]

This man Dragunov is MAD drippy, they fr made this man even cooler if that was even possible. White Reaper as an epithet goes insanely hard, and that face as the win pose is everything. Welcome back, homie! ❤🎉

[@jabuzalegends6515]

The personal characteristics is very cool. Tekken puts so much time in effort in there games, they are always amazing.

Finally, best fighter. So good design! I like how they make emotionless characters more… emotional… His combos are so brutal and sick! I want this game.

[@akdrzllol1698]

All his hits look so powerful,they did a great job with his animations. Until Anna comes drag will be my main🤧

[@Traewulong]

yea I was gonna say his hits make it seem like hes doing unfair damage haha

[@gothicsmiley1234]

He and Anna are my mains ❤

[@branovices]

Wasn't sure they'd add him, given current events... But I'm glad they did, one of my favorite characters.

[@takarifan]

Dragunov is so iconic, Namco couldn't pull him out of the game. As for current events, I don't think a Japanese game company cares about boycotting Russians in media.

[@anantmalik]

It's a game my friend chill ... ❤🎉😊

[@TheCoastalRipper]

If that was a good enough reason, given current events all American and European characters would be absent.

[@RealMrSmile]

The first statistics of the most popular characters in Tekken 8 were released recently and Dragunov was literally the second most popular character in the game after Reina which is insane considering that Dragunov kinda was under the radar for most people in the other games I think this shows Namco how important he is and make them add him in every game

[@bricecarter196]

There's something about his silence and humming that make him so cool, sexy and elegant. Gotta try him as my main brother 😅

[@FatalHerobrineBoyAnimations]
