At the end of the EVO Tekken 8 Showcase, Bandai Namco revealed the last launch character that will appear in the game, Reina.
Tekken's fierce old man, Heihachi Mishima, is back with a vengeance in Tekken 8. However, his return seems to be a forced move, which breaks the story beats established in Tekken 7.
When did Tekken ever make any sense? That's why we love it. Come on now. Mokujin? Roger? Kuma? Panda? Gon? Alex? Jack? Demon characters? Death, life, death and life again? Azazel?
Heihachi coming back ain't no thang but a chicken wang. Was probably hanging out at the ghost bar with Bison having drinks. Seems they must have run up a tab and need to make some tournament money to pay it off. Because they're both coming back to their respective games.
exactly, fighting games for me don't require a story or explanation why a certain character is in the game. If they manage to make a cool story, it's just a bonuns but there's no way that should prevent fan favs from rejoining
It is anogher example that proves that company have no balls to actually end people or stories
Fr, like if Nintendo killed off Link and you played the next legend of Zelda game as someone else. That would take balls and would definitely make the game better.
That would require breaking the cycle of reincarnation, though.
Not sure how they'd pull that off. Link, Zelda, and Demise are tied together by fate, across lifetimes.
Bunch of tekken characters have died (from what we know) and even if they are dead in the lore u can still bring them as playable characters.
It's Tekken. The story never made sense. What we can rely on is that every character that gets thrown off a cliff or into a volcano never actually dies.
Update 1.06 for Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tekken 8 will add a Photo mode to the game, though it won't come with any balance changes.
Bandai Namco has confirmed that Tekken 8 next update 1.06 won't include balance changes, but bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
it should have been Tifa.
or have Tifa as a dlc character.
Given some of her moves, she might be Heihachi Mishima´s granddaughter!
Love her style and character design! Another great addition!
Her gameplay and threatening aura look great, interested to see what she is to heihachi, however the design is awfully average, and what's up with Tekken and Sports hoodies, everyone has these
Man, I expected more for her design seeing who created her. I wish this series wouldn’t be afraid to take risks with designs like Street Fighter does. I mean, cool jacket… I guess 🤷♂️
