While I do think that some characters that are crucial to the series should return (like heihachi or eddy), I don’t think they should do more than 3 DLC legacy characters, because it seems incredibly lazy and kind of cheap to bring back returning characters through dlc slots, and they should try to aim for some newcomers or guest characters

In an interview with Polish gaming media, Harada was asked what guest character from games, movies or TV shows he would like to include in Tekken if he had complete freedom. He replied: "I never considered such complete freedom. (laughter). Many themes fit Tekken. My favorites are primarily Captain Price from Call of Duty, Deadpool and John Wick. We even tried to get Wick at one point, but there were scheduling issues. Unfortunately, we failed to reach an agreement. Interestingly, 2B from Nier: Automata debuted in SoulCalibur VI. However, she was originally supposed to appear in Tekken. We just felt this character was a better fit for SCVI. Quite honestly - I dream of Colonel Sanders from KFC in Tekken. Director Ikeda and I have an idea for this character. We know how to do it well. It's going to be really brilliant. However, the marketing department does not want to agree because they think that players will not like it. Everyone advises us against it at every step. So if anyone from KFC reads this interview, please contact me! (laughter)."

I was shocked there was no Bob because it seems the devs like him, but the fact there was no Eddy or capoeira representative is mind blowing to me. For many who started Tekken with 3 on PlayStation, Eddy was one of the first characters most gravitated to because even if you were a button smasher you could do cool looking moves. Plus the fact that Eddy and Ling were the only playable characters on the demo disc which I know is another reason good bit of people have fond memories of Tekken 3 Eddy. Also I feel like Eddy really helped a lot more people to know what capoeira is and helped it to get into the pop culture of the time, I'm going to guess getting capoeira to work with the aggressive heat system isn't a easy task but still doesn't feel right to see a Tekken roster with no capoeira representative.

But now he's not in Tekken 8 people keep coming out of the woodworks saying how OP he has always been, guess that's why you have seen so many Eddys in top 20 of any Tekken 7 tournament at any point of Tekken 7s 8 year life span.@@AHHHb0bSaggot

One thing, is if Tag3 ever gets made (which is iffy since it’s what caused tekken to nearly die due to sales, quality put aside), it has a chance to be extremely fun due to the lower level of accessibility in 8. The Modern Control would actually be perfect for tag because the ‘issue’ with that game is every character is very complex with lots to learn, yet you not only have every (nearly) character, but minimum learn 2 at the same time. Tag2 (and hopefully future tags) are basically impossible to create a large competitive scene because there’s too much to learn. But, it could be the perfect mayham game for teller. Almost like a party game.

Ideally, I wish all the characters be in the roster, but that isn't realistic unfortunately. I still hope Kuni comes back again though; she's received so much love with her overhauling into TTT2 and eventually T7 to just put her back into the vault. As far as guest characters, I too think Tifa would flourish in Tekken, especially because FFVIIR is going to be heating up more and more in the coming years.

I feel like the way they did the characters is one of each playstyle kinda thing. You got your heavy your stance counter mix up. Like the way I see it we didn’t get sumo dude bob or gigas cause of kuma and Jack 8. No eddy or Chloe cause of Azucena, and no Ann or josie cause of Nina, and no kazumi or catalina cause of Reina. Basically they wanted the roster to feel as diverse as possible with play styles while still trying to add in as many main stay characters. At least that’s the impression I got.

This roster is absolutely stacked, not too many new characters, but the new characters are probably the coolest new characters since T5 and T7. There are some important mainstays left out (notably Lei, Armor King, Eddy/Christie and Anna) , but those can easily be added within the first couple of waves of DLC, but we'll also probably get some of the new T7 characters back in these first couple of DLC's as well (such as Lidia, Fahkumram, Josie, Kazumi, Katarina and Claudio). Hopefully this game has as long of a life-span as possible, I'm hoping for at least 6+ years of T8 with DLC packs released (in their entirety, over time ofc) every 2 or so years.

It has to differentiate itself from T7. So far they share 27 characters. Of the 32 there are only 5 that were not in the previous game which are two returning (Raven and Jun) and three brand new (Azucena, Victor, and Reina). I would guarantee one Capo (Eddy/Christie/Tiger) and one Muay Thai (Bruce/Fahkumran/Josie) return as DLC but there’s A LOT of characters that were DLC last time that are missing from this base roster and it would be insane if we get them as DLC again (Julia, Armor King, Anna, Lei, Marduk, Lidia, Fahkumran). There’s a lot of characters I would love to see return that missed the last game (Angel, Roger/Alex, Bruce, Christie, Jinpachi, Ogre, Baek, etc) and I’m sure we’ll get a handful of guest characters.

I mentioned this before that Tekken 7 had the largest roster of new characters in any of the Tekken games (that includes the dlc) and only the likes of 3 of them made a return in Tekken 8 being Leroy,Claudio & Shaheen. It still boggles me that not a huge majority of them had make it in Tekken 8 especially the ladies like Lidia,Katerina & Lucky Chloe, but also old school favorites like Bob,Lei & Eddy which the last one is the most shocking for me cause he has been in almost every Tekken game since Tekken 3. I'll be shock if he comes out as dlc (if not his counterparts Chirstie/Tiger as well). But also assuming when we get seasonal dlc characters in the future, the roster will most likely be adequately added up to say 50 or so characters by then, of course assuming guest characters but I'm hoping that's not the case,PLEASE NO OUTSIDE GUEST CHARACTERS PLEASE!!!!). here's hoping my mains Lucky Chloe & Eddy makes it 🤞

It's easy to see why T7 had so many characters and T8 didn't. T7 was out exclusively in the arcades of Japan getting iterated on for two whole years at least. That means they technically had T7 as early access in Japan where they could add characters and adjust balance without a worldwide audience yelling at them. By the time the game was released worldwide where most people could actually play it, the game had doubled in characters.

prob controversial but i was hoping during initial announcements as somebody who was considering tekken 8 for a small roster. Like 15-20 characters. One thing that always stopped me from trying tekken was the innumerable knowledge checks the series is known for and on top of that that the moves in tekken to me always looked very boring. With the only exceptions being the demon powers kazuya has and kuma's bear stuff I have trouble even telling if a move is anything different it all just kind of blends in if that makes sense when I watch the game and a smaller roster I think would allow more focus on each individual character and their moves being distinct enough for anybody to tell apart.

T8 is going to be massive because i believe it does a very good job building a solid bridge that gives new and old players a fun and enjoyable experience, there's plenty of simple stuff that lets new players get a taste of the cool shit characters can do then have enough depth that old players can discover new routes especially with heat and the added affects it has, for example jin with heat gains access to traditional hellsweep off of omen stance. I firmly believe we'll get some wacky guest characters whether its like luke from SF6, Giovanna from strive or whoever they'll be good additions, i also believe a tekken character will appear in SF6 due to the akuma appearance so i reckon we'll see that, but T8 is gonna be a blast once it releases.
