Vincent Cassel is one of the most recognised french actors, he's pretty damn good. I'm actually surprised that they managed to get him. You can recognize him from Oceans 12 and the last bourne movie.
@@yellowg00seridiculousness of something is often negligible if the coolness said ridiculousness generates is awesome. This can vary from person to person but rule of cool basically boils down to *this is stupid but it’s awesome*
Vincent Cassel was in Brotherhood of the Wolf, which has some REALLY strong aesthetic similarities to Bloodborne. He was also in Black Swan, and he does an Eddy Gordo homage in Ocean's Twelve.
Yeah, with him being an actual capoeira practitioner, I think it would've been hilarious if they had added him in as the old capoeira master who trained Eddy while he was in prison. I prefer this, but that would've been funny.
He definitely does have shades of Noctis' kit with him. I think Victor is a brilliant way of reintroducing a guest character's kit from the previous installment into a brand new character, since it seems like a lot of people enjoyed Noctis in T7.
Victor is just like c.viper in the sense he has weapons and gadgets to for his moveset and he’s a wild ass federal agent who doesn’t look like law enforcement at all 😂
@@Kessekom You're not alone, he looks like some random OC from DeviantArt. "What if he wields a gun, but also a futuristic sword, and a suit, and glasses, and-" It's easy to impress people it seems.
Not alone dude,His sword ruins the design for me,because the design itself of the sword doesn't fit him. The Scabbard looks too big and the design too 'boxy' for me to fit him,i probably wouldn't have minded the katana if it was something more minimalistic to fit his whole outfit.@@Kessekom
Vincent Cassel is a well known French actor. He was the NIGHT FOX in oceans twelve. Yes that iconic scene where he is dancing in between the lasers. That's him.
I love that we have another character with a karambit in a fighting game, the blade is nasty in that if the tip penetrates the flesh, the knife gets draged in deeper on the edge to make a bigger laceration on the target, very effective, even if the blade is short if the curve is steep it still makes a wicked cut.
I like the idea of them adding a new character to the covert Spy network alluded to that Raven works for or at least a modern day rival Spy company to match Ravens Ninjutsu stuff.
I think in his Bio, he’s the original Raven and the founder of the Raven Unit that serves as the spec ops of the United Nations...hense all of the techy gadgets and weapons plus the ninjutsu teleporty stuff...and Raven and Master Raven are his subordinates...
I hate his bio, him being the Ravens leader just weakens their importance for me. Both Ravens can't be strong by themselves they now have a wannabe ninja above them.😡
@@chrissmith9040I think we’re in disagreement there. It’s so cool to see a refined old man kick serious ass. Just makes him cooler imo that he was the one who pretty much started everything surrounding Raven.
Yep this might be Max's new main in this case. But also he's the Founding Member of the Raven Unit which means he's Master Raven's mentor who is Raven's mentor. So he's the head hancho. But he's also the Founding Member of the United Nations Independent Forces. Also a French Navy Veteran. So he's extremely important.
@@nickt194 Where did Harada say that there won't be any Guest Characters for Season 1? He only said that when it comes to adding in past/new Guests, it'll be when DLC starts. He was more so talking about no Guests for base roster.
The first thing I said was "Raven?" when he teleported. He also has some of Raven's moves, but feels a little closer to Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu. He's literally a French Ninja
I saw the one of the comments in the official Bandai Namco earlier, Age of Leroy Smith, Fineness of Jetstream Sam, Speed like Vergil, CQC like Solid Snake, Flashiness of Noctis, Drips of Agent 47, Loadout of Leon Kennedy. Seriously, who the hell is this guy? is exactly my reaction for this character because what the fuck LMAO
Yeah Aeon (Or Lizardman, Aeon is the actual name of this one) was almost a completely different character in SCV compared to how they were both in the past SC games and even in SOULCALIBUR VI it went back to the old Lizarman style that I am still sad never got added to the game as an actual fighting style for us to use with Lizard cacs
What's hilarious is that Victor using a katana weirdly kinda fits with France's extreme japanophilia (second consumer of manga behind Japan in terms of sheer volume of units sold, and ahead of the US, which has like 5 times the population).
Fyi max Vincent Cassel is the guy who played the Night Fox (french thief and secondary antagonist) in Ocean's 12 and 13. Didn't know he played Tekken so that's sick.
Victor seems to be like a Combination of Noctis, Coloner Sanders, and John Wick with a Mix of Raven and Kunimitsu, while I wish we got Classic Characters Returning this is a Interesting Choice, I think I can say the Same Thing with the Final Character in the Roster.
the roster has too many returning characters as it is ngl, im glad the last two[one now] remaining characters are originals[tho i kinda wanted Kuni II back]
@@GiorgosAigio96 That’s Fair and 3 New Characters isn’t a Bad Idea, I just wish Anna, Eddie, Kunimitsu, Lidia, Eliza, Julia, Armor King, Madduk, and even Master Raven and Josie to return, I knows most of them were DLC in the Past but even we don’t know if they will be DLC Again
Man! You got me. I'm actually hyped for this game now. I wasn't before. But since I watch your videos regularly especially videos about Tekken 8, my hype for it gradually builds up. And now, I'm actually looking forward to playing this. This goes to show that being informed goes a long way.
When I saw what this character could do I was like “yep speedy character with a katana this is Max’s sauce” 🤣 I even wanna try him out he’s look so much fun. First Azu now him characters from T8 specifically not the returning ones, seem to be very hype. Because it’s stuff we never seen before. Like with Aki, Manon or Marisa. We like our OGs returning but fresh blood gives you so much room to be creative with a character if they’re not dlc
I feel like MK1 could've benefited from having like 1 or 2 actual NEW characters as well. Like I really do appreciate the surprising amount of characters that haven't shown up playable wise in a long WHILE like Havik, Ashrah, Reiko, Li-Mei etc. but there wasn't a single new face addition to MK and new characters are always a good thing imo
@@alexandernickaboine4798havik, ashrah, li mei and reiko are essentially “new” since they haven’t appeared in a while and these are updated versions of their debuts. Mk doesn’t really need that many new characters. They’ve come out with so many cool ones already that just need to be updated. A lot of the fanbase hates on the new characters for some odd reason. Like with the kollector. Super unique and cool character who looks different & fights differently than any character before got hate for no reason other than he’s “new”
He might be best Tekken character ever created 😳 HE JUST HAD TO BE FRENCH AS A BONUS 🤣 and indeed he says “bon apetite” the devs were having too much fun here I love it
Victor is Vergil (Capcom DMC & UMVC3)/Kenshi Takahashi (Mortal Kombat)/Yu Narukami (Persona 4: Arena & Blazblue:CTB)/Hakumen (Arc System’s Blazblue) /Raiden (Metal Gear & PlayStation All-Star)/Sephiroth (Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII & Super Smash Bros: Ultimate) of Namco’s Tekken
I actually like Victor, looks like a character I'd be willing to learn. My only gripe is that damn blade behind his back, looks so out of place like an accessory add on you get from the character customization shop. It'd be dope if it was more like how Noctis brings out his swords, like astral projections or something. Not gonna keep me from trying him out though!
I see him as Old Snake and Rising Raiden combined into one guy and I love that so much Regardless he's so cool, probably my fave newcomer since T5/DR (Asuka/Lili)
"I started with Eddy Gordo, he was doing capoeira and so was I at the time, so I was only playing as him." "well that sucks (immediately clicks away)" got a really good belly out of me, i'll give it up lmao
He never said he doesn't like Anime. Allthough he acknowledged favouring the style of oldschool 90's Anime stuff. FOTNS, JoJo, Akira, Guilty Gear's artstyle which is inspired by that era, etc. He also praises Ghibli movies which he's watched. There's genres of Anime he doesn't vibe with, like cutesy Kawai designs, but that only makes up one part of the medium. Give him a character that looks badass and he'll usually vibe towards them, flashy or not.
I wonder if this means we could have a legally distinct Akuma and Geese. Probably not necessary in Geese's case though, SNK would probably be up for renewing the license without much fuss.
i really don't want Akuma to come back unless he just doesn't have a super meter anymore and i want my vampire queen Eliza back more and also for her to not have a super meter with yellow shit bc super meters should never have been in Tekken
The bonus for me, as a movie buff, is that he's voiced by Vincent Cassel. One of my favourite French Actors, made popular by the Ocean's Sequels (11 and 13), where he played The Nightfox.
The Tekken Team knows how extremely popular/successful Noctis is in Tekken 7 in terms of impact, he pretty much has two other clones that are inspired by him (Kunimitsu 2, and Victor). I honestly wouldn't be suprised if this is a way to tell us that based on the high demand, Noctis might actually make his return through Tekken 8's DLC again.
I mean that's pretty wishful thinking. Don't get me wrong I loved Noctis and he was my main but I highly doubt he's returning just because it doesn't seem like Harada would use the same guest twice. Only one I'd say has a chance of coming back is Akuma for story reasons.
@@reign9933apparently you just need to be a teleport character to be based on Noctis Just ignore the 1st Kunimitsu. Or Yoshimitsu. Or Raven. Nah Noctis is the first weapon using teleport character on Tekken. Brain so smooth, you can ice skate on it....
He feels like a combo of Noctis, Master Raven, and Kunimitsu II, along with all the MG:R vibes. Really digging his vibe & gameplay just from this trailer alone.
I want more original characters made that shadow guest characters they can no longer have in the game. Like it's wholly original, but will be interesting to those who played Tekken 7 for Noctis, Negan, etc. It's genius
There's been a lot of complaints within the tekken community about him being too over the top for tekken. Which for us old school Tekken fans is true. However 29 of the characters in this game are returning characters. We still have traditional martial artists to play with. Characters like this are important to get those people who like stuff like guilty gear to have a jumping on point for the tekken series. I don't reckon I'll play him too much but i get a feeling he's going to bring a lot of outsiders into the flock
Over the top? BRUH Tekken is the home of over the top and crazy characters. YOU CAN FIGHT AN ACTUAL DINOSAUR THAT USES BOXING GLOVES... there's weird devil beings with eye lazers, there's fighting animals for crying out loud.
@@alexandernickaboine4798 Not to mention how Yoshimitsu, the OG sword user, has been in the Tekken series since literally DAY ONE. Saying that weapons don't belong in Tekken is truly one of the most ignorant and stupid things you can claim about the franchise.
@@alter9933 also wanna added a combat android, walking tank series 8, literally angel in the same series dude, Tekken is literally over the top series and no one is gonna mention that? w
why does everyone always go to the "BRO U FIGHT LE HECKIN DINOSAUR AND BEAR ALSO KAZ SHOOT LAZOR YOSHI HAS SWORD TEKKEN WAS ALWAYS QUIRKY XD" yes that is true but GAMEPLAY wise its always been pretty 'tame.'
You guys are missing the point. Tekken has always had wacky stuff, but Roger was still a "boxer" , and Jack mostly does melee combat. We now have a human that uses 3 different weapons gameplay wise. Also, the Katana makes no sense at all for a secret agent.
The katana is overkill for his design, looks really bad, standing out in the worst create a character way possible. Keeping him with just the gun and knife while increasing the gun prowess would have been FAR better and gave him a cool VS angle with Raven - Gun VS Sword.
Metal Caliber May Wick: Final Revengence looks so dope. SIDEBAR: I wanna see Polish Prime Minister Lidia comeback. Nice to see other styles of karate in this game. Whether a main stay or DLC, I’d be happy with her return.
You have probably no idea how much we love anime, manga and japan in general in France. and this character who founded an occidental ninja organisation is the perfect representation of us being fucking weabs, that's all.
Hardcore Tekken fan here, who can't wait to play this character. Is he gonna be a nightmare to fight against? Probably. Is he gonna be fun as hell to use? Yes. Yes he is

@lesnake59 your country produced Jeanne de Arc, the Louvre, has one of the most romantic languages, a heavy influence on American cuisine (especially black american food), built Lady liberty herself, and the best star fleet captain Jean Luc Picard is a French man (except the accent). There are many positive things to easily say about France, I'm just talking about common gag weapons that would easily match up to the dude weapon shapes.
The team absolutely nailed it with Victor, he just oozes cool and I love it!!! Colonel Sanders, Jetstream Sam, Raiden, Snake, Noctis and Kunimitsu all combined and we have Victor! Also his theme is godlike too! Yeah he is perfect
That statement: "If I start to play him, nobody else are allowed to play him." is such a thing in my family. I have 4 of 5 brothers that plays Tekken regularly since 1997, and we all pick our characters from the roster. If someone pick from others main, they get angry. Luckily I went for crazy looking characters as well as those that is rival to their main. 1st brother (plays sometimes): (Eddy, Lei, Nina), Jun/Asuka, Law, Feng, Baek, Lili, Leo, Dragunov and Zafina 2nd brother (Me): (Yoshimitsu, Paul, Armor King, Shaheen, Gigas), Raven, Marduk and Bruce. 3rd brother (plays casually): (King, Bryan), Lee, Kazuya, Miguel, Claudio, Devil Jin. 4th brother (plays competitive): (Jin, Hwoarang, Steve), Law, Lei, and Devil Jin. 5th brother (plays rarely): Julia, Jack, Xiaoyu, Lee, and Bob.

You can recognize him from Oceans 12 and the last bourne movie.
I was struggling to understand how Max doesn’t know who he is. His tie in Ocean’s 12 is cooler than this purple one.

Regarding the knife, it is the karambit. Its one of few types of knives that gives you more quickness and unique handling of the knife.
Similar to Smoke from MK1
I love that we have another character with a karambit in a fighting game, the blade is nasty in that if the tip penetrates the flesh, the knife gets draged in deeper on the edge to make a bigger laceration on the target, very effective, even if the blade is short if the curve is steep it still makes a wicked cut.

I wonder if this means we could have a legally distinct Akuma and Geese. Probably not necessary in Geese's case though, SNK would probably be up for renewing the license without much fuss.
could mix it up and give us Rock to cross from the new Garou
I think akuma would be easy too. Capcom would probably be down for cross promotion and easy money. They've done things like SF in Fortnite.
@@muckdriverYeah, I feel Capcom is even more open to it now based off of the collabs with sf6.
i really don't want Akuma to come back unless he just doesn't have a super meter anymore and i want my vampire queen Eliza back more and also for her to not have a super meter with yellow shit bc super meters should never have been in Tekken
i hope that if 2ds come back, they dont have the silly jump or meter anymore. and for gods sake they have got to have shit side steps.
This character is absolutely insane!!! 🤯 Awesome as hell. Tekken sure makes some of the coolest characters ever!
Me and Max both adore how this character plays! He’s made for people like us.
Victor is like if Gr0h in SC6 wasn't stuck as a punished edgy boy and blossomed past the chuuni lad and became far too badass for anyone to handle
The bonus for me, as a movie buff, is that he's voiced by Vincent Cassel. One of my favourite French Actors, made popular by the Ocean's Sequels (11 and 13), where he played The Nightfox.
Also Monsieur Hood in Shrek lol
I can't get over how sick this dude looks man
I KNEW HIS VOICE ACTOR LOOKED FAMILIAR!!! Vincent Cassel was the capoeira thief guy from Ocean’s 12! But Victor looks insane, can’t wait to play him!
The Tekken Team knows how extremely popular/successful Noctis is in Tekken 7 in terms of impact, he pretty much has two other clones that are inspired by him (Kunimitsu 2, and Victor). I honestly wouldn't be suprised if this is a way to tell us that based on the high demand, Noctis might actually make his return through Tekken 8's DLC again.
How was kuni inspired by noctis?
I mean that's pretty wishful thinking. Don't get me wrong I loved Noctis and he was my main but I highly doubt he's returning just because it doesn't seem like Harada would use the same guest twice. Only one I'd say has a chance of coming back is Akuma for story reasons.
@@reign9933apparently you just need to be a teleport character to be based on Noctis
Just ignore the 1st Kunimitsu. Or Yoshimitsu. Or Raven.
Nah Noctis is the first weapon using teleport character on Tekken.
Brain so smooth, you can ice skate on it....
@@reign9933She has literally Noctis' 222222 and the kunai/teleport move was surely inspired by Noctis. Og Kuni did not have those
@@janematthews9087To be fair, Noctis leaves blue afterimages after teleporting and Victor does that too.
Harada: “….you’re welcome”
You guys should add Jean Reno's the Professional in the mix as well.
Then twitter will start cancelling him lol
He feels like a combo of Noctis, Master Raven, and Kunimitsu II, along with all the MG:R vibes. Really digging his vibe & gameplay just from this trailer alone.
I want more original characters made that shadow guest characters they can no longer have in the game. Like it's wholly original, but will be interesting to those who played Tekken 7 for Noctis, Negan, etc. It's genius
"If it was Gene Reeno..."
You mean Jean Reno!? 😂
There's been a lot of complaints within the tekken community about him being too over the top for tekken. Which for us old school Tekken fans is true. However 29 of the characters in this game are returning characters. We still have traditional martial artists to play with. Characters like this are important to get those people who like stuff like guilty gear to have a jumping on point for the tekken series. I don't reckon I'll play him too much but i get a feeling he's going to bring a lot of outsiders into the flock
Over the top? BRUH Tekken is the home of over the top and crazy characters. YOU CAN FIGHT AN ACTUAL DINOSAUR THAT USES BOXING GLOVES... there's weird devil beings with eye lazers, there's fighting animals for crying out loud.
@@alexandernickaboine4798 Not to mention how Yoshimitsu, the OG sword user, has been in the Tekken series since literally DAY ONE.
Saying that weapons don't belong in Tekken is truly one of the most ignorant and stupid things you can claim about the franchise.
@@alter9933 also wanna added a combat android, walking tank series 8, literally angel in the same series
dude, Tekken is literally over the top series and no one is gonna mention that? w
why does everyone always go to the "BRO U FIGHT LE HECKIN DINOSAUR AND BEAR ALSO KAZ SHOOT LAZOR YOSHI HAS SWORD TEKKEN WAS ALWAYS QUIRKY XD" yes that is true but GAMEPLAY wise its always been pretty 'tame.'
You guys are missing the point.
Tekken has always had wacky stuff, but Roger was still a "boxer" , and Jack mostly does melee combat.
We now have a human that uses 3 different weapons gameplay wise. Also, the Katana makes no sense at all for a secret agent.
They got Vincent Cassel?! The Night Fox is back baby.
Okay TIFA PLEASE
French John Wick with Jetstream Sam and Noctis.
The katana is overkill for his design, looks really bad, standing out in the worst create a character way possible.
Keeping him with just the gun and knife while increasing the gun prowess would have been FAR better and gave him a cool VS angle with Raven - Gun VS Sword.
I feel the same, it looks awful
Metal Caliber May Wick: Final Revengence looks so dope.
SIDEBAR: I wanna see Polish Prime Minister Lidia comeback. Nice to see other styles of karate in this game. Whether a main stay or DLC, I’d be happy with her return.
I don’t like Tekken but this is the first character ever in the series to make me want to pick up the title and main him.
It’s been a long time since I heard a French voice actor voice a character in a video game. Jean Reno who voiced Jacques from Onimusha 3 Demon Siege.
But way cooler than Noctis ever was
And cooler than Noctis would hope to be 😂
@@Skaal_Prime exactly my friend
@@Skaal_Primeyea i cant stand noctis and his kpop drip, looks fking dumb. victor is a classy badass. more of that, please.
You have probably no idea how much we love anime, manga and japan in general in France.
and this character who founded an occidental ninja organisation is the perfect representation of us being fucking weabs, that's all.
I love all the people crying that Tekken has been ruined because this guy is "too anime."
When the gane always was
Hardcore Tekken fan here, who can't wait to play this character. Is he gonna be a nightmare to fight against? Probably. Is he gonna be fun as hell to use? Yes. Yes he is
Imagine replacing his weapons with a Baguette, Croissant, and an Éclair.
C'est Raciste vos propos !
Your words are racist!
@lesnake59 so you legit wouldn't want to see him fight with baked goods. Raven should be fighting with hairpicks.
@@jamcalx
C'est réducteur pour mon pays, non ?
Quand un anglophone écrit sur la France ou les français (e) ce n'est jamais un compliment.
It's reductive for my country, isn't it?
When an English speaker writes about France or the French (e) it is never a compliment.
@@lesnake59ca va s'etait pas méchant ce qu'il a dit et c'etait juste pour rire mais par contre il y en a qui ont vraiment dit des choses racistes sur le fait que victor soit français
@lesnake59 your country produced Jeanne de Arc, the Louvre, has one of the most romantic languages, a heavy influence on American cuisine (especially black american food), built Lady liberty herself, and the best star fleet captain Jean Luc Picard is a French man (except the accent). There are many positive things to easily say about France, I'm just talking about common gag weapons that would easily match up to the dude weapon shapes.
The music being French house is incredible.
The team absolutely nailed it with Victor, he just oozes cool and I love it!!! Colonel Sanders, Jetstream Sam, Raiden, Snake, Noctis and Kunimitsu all combined and we have Victor! Also his theme is godlike too! Yeah he is perfect
He actually reminds me a little of the Specialist, an alternate subclass for the Troubleshhoter and Hitman from Dungeon fighter.
Victor Chevelier isn't just the master of Raven's Ninjitsu...he's the master of *DRIP* 😎
Naw that still belongs to LeRoy
last character is also a new one, cant wait to see
Definitely did better than Megan Fox.
A trained monkey could do better than Megan Fox.
We all waited for this! Was not disappointed lol
That statement: "If I start to play him, nobody else are allowed to play him." is such a thing in my family. I have 4 of 5 brothers that plays Tekken regularly since 1997, and we all pick our characters from the roster. If someone pick from others main, they get angry.
Luckily I went for crazy looking characters as well as those that is rival to their main.
1st brother (plays sometimes): (Eddy, Lei, Nina), Jun/Asuka, Law, Feng, Baek, Lili, Leo, Dragunov and Zafina
2nd brother (Me): (Yoshimitsu, Paul, Armor King, Shaheen, Gigas), Raven, Marduk and Bruce.
3rd brother (plays casually): (King, Bryan), Lee, Kazuya, Miguel, Claudio, Devil Jin.
4th brother (plays competitive): (Jin, Hwoarang, Steve), Law, Lei, and Devil Jin.
5th brother (plays rarely): Julia, Jack, Xiaoyu, Lee, and Bob.
Victor Chevalier = if men's warehouse & Kingsman created their own ninja character :P
he really said leon kennedy (resident evil) but as kenshi takahashi (mortal kombat) at the same time.. 😭
If Leon the Professional was a Metal Gear character. Nice!
made me want to be like him in my 60's, the classy fancy style like
This is such a fun looking character. And Vincent Cassell is the truth. Love that he gets to voice this character in his native tongue.
And they got Vincent fvkin Cassel to voice him, BASED!
I'm going to have to try serious French Jeff Goldblum. He's looking pretty dope
