[@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.

База.

[@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.

[@vergil3005]

[@KryselITG]

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😅

[@DrewMarcus2024]

They showed tf out for my dawg even the humming during the fight is phenomenal 💪🏾🤧🤧

[@Hokunin]

Instead of talking he looks straight into camera staring at your soul

[@taimoorhavok506]

I already know he's gonna be my main. Been waiting for his reveal for so long! My boy Drag til the end! 🔥

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

How the hell does a mute soldier make non-verbal, almost boyish nonchalance seem so badass? His movements have impressive amounts of character to them.

[@leos8813]

Great new take on Dragunov! The new stage is also cool! Looking forward to the others!

[@b1ueberrycheesecake]

Now I really need to get this game.

[@BenAstridge]

Dragunov is one of those nicely toned-down characters that still always looks dope. Potential main material for T8

[@ForsakenJay]

Out of all the reveals, I was waiting for his the most and they did not disappoint. 😮‍💨

[@minersteven6180]

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

[@JzonAzari]

Always glad to see him in the game

[@Ella-jn1rm]

I'm not even a Dragunov main but i don't know why I'm smiling while watching this trailer. So nice to see another legacy character with Tekken 8's glow up.

[@pfuze_5775]

He not a legacy character tho

[@VermillionGates]

Not a legacy character. Still, one of the better newcomers

[@burni988]

Tekken 5 Dr was a long time ago now.

[@VermillionGates]

@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]

@@VermillionGates 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.

[@Yukimation]

Feels like I’ve been waiting for Yoshimitsu’s reveal for years, he’s one of the core characters!

[@kcnfdntc]

He must be the BIGGEST reveal they are going to do but the hype will die down if it stays delayed too long. If his gameplay isn't refreshed then it will be a letdown.

[@Silvotic]

DRAGUNOV, MY BOI!!! Makes me wanna get the game, he looks so gud and I always find him so fun, adore his character. So glad he's in the game, hehe.

[@timothywilliams8389]

Dragunov looks like Russian Edward scissor hands with a hint of vampire

[@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

As a Russian , the voice actor really nailed our accent. Also, can confirm, it snows indoors when I come in, quite annoying to my foreign friends. I like snow though! Anyway, great trailer, can't wait for Alisa's!

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

[@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.

[@dalodulo1373]

Dragunov gets to the point and doesnt mince words. He wants a hug.

[@travelerwatanabe]

Dragunov being funny....never saw THAT coming!

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

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

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