@@Kuya1991 DJ is fine most of these moves that Jin uses in the trailer are not even devil jin moves most are just new devil stuff. And plus DJ is top 10 most played characters in T7 so I hardly doubt they gonna remove him because of lore.
I wouldn’t want him dlc as a result. It’s like having two bears take individual roster slots when they are practically the same. When there are other characters who deserve the spot.. Bruce, Raven or master, Zafina because she’s unique etc
@@Padlock_Steve If he does return I hope they use the design from Blood Vengeance and give him an updated moveset. It seems like they've been trying to move away from it though. Which is a bummer.
I love how both, Kaz and Jin, have gathered more moves from other Mishimas. Kaz more from Heihachi and Jin from Jinpachi. Jinpachi had a more calm fighting style, while Heihachi had a more aggressive/brutal one, which fits now into Kaz (Aggressive/Brutal) and Jin (More Calm/controlled)
>Jinpachi had a more calm fighting style >Flashbacks to Jinpachi's airgrab where he spins you and throws you neck first to the floor Even Heihachi is never that brutal
Fun Fact: The poses that Jin and Kaz take right before doing their rage arts are the same or similar to the poses they take in promotional art for the game. Like, the cover or whatever it is.
I think they need to punch up the sound more to make it sound more extreme. I like that he has this single hit punch rage art. I just think they need to "protrude" it more.
New Jin moves from Devil Jin I can find: 3:35 - Malicious Mace (DB+2) 3:42 - Amara (3+4, 3) Seems to be part of the string though... (Maybe 2, 4, 3+4?) 3:45 - Samsara (U+4) Although the kick portion seems to be a claw now. 3:47 - Tsujikaze (F+1+2) Seems to chain from Jin's B+3 3:54 - Looks like Jin/Devil Jin Laser Scraper (B, F+2, 1, DF+2) Into Samsara. This might be also be a merge between L. Scraper & Devil Jin's Rengoku (DF+3, 2, 4) 3:58 - Twisted Samsara (F+4, 3) I've mained Jin since T4 and I still can't believe how much this character keeps evolving. I can't wait for June.
From Kazuya's new combo extension and cancels, Nina's gun gameplay, & now Jin getting Devil Jin moves curious to see how much characters like King and Jun will be changed up.
The impression I get is that Jin's basically like a cross between Rock Howard and Iori Yagami with the way he uses his fingers like claws mixed in with his fallen angel/wings motif. I really like the way they developed his character and showed that development through his moves. He's showing a control of the Devil Gene that is very different from how Kazuya does it, but just as potent in its own way.
The scariest notion - Jin accepting the demon within and using its strength. The real hero of the story. I'm looking forward to seeing how Jun factors into all of this.
Literally the Jin Kazama I've been waiting years for. It's truly time to go back to maining my boy. My levels of hype for this game and SF6 is above anything you can imagine.
@Strong & Grand Agreed bro. I can't put one over the other. They both are looking fire as hell. Hopefully, it'll lead to what I've been personally waiting for. Tekken X Street Fighter.
From what I'm seeing Jin is gaining a new power his Rage Art is incomplete also something new is about to start and Jin and Asuka Kazama is apart of it
I will have to disagree.... with only 1 statement :D The equal hype part :D For me the SF6 hype is on another level. But man, T8 hype is crazy as fk too. And I do not main Tekken much as it was never really my jam. So the fact that I am this hype for T8 is a HUGE reason for applauding the devs. Amazing work, can't wait :)
Not only do I love that they finally merged him with his devil form, but they already showed character development in his dialogue. I'm happy to see that my boy is going back to his Tekken 3-5 roots.
Very glad I watched the anime, Tekken Bloodline, because that show brought me back to the Tekken Franchise. Also, so good to have Jin Kazama back to his old self, but new.
A lot of people think Devil Jin is no more because Jin now has a bunch of DJ's moves. _I'm not so convinced._ Key thing missing here: lasers. Kaz has them, so if they're doing the same thing with Jin wouldn't it make sense to give Jin lasers too? I think they're hiding something. Notice how Jin is accessing his Devil side in a very limited, controlled manner. Only for brief bursts, only one wing ever shows up and only for seconds at a time. I think either Jin can fully transform like Kaz can and perhaps gain access to even more Devil moves, or Devil Jin is still a separate character... imagine his trailer.
This was the original plans for T8 was gonna have Devil Jin as a transformation for Jin during heat system but it was soon the be scrapped unfortunately so of course Jin & Devil Jin will definitely be separate characters Iike before cause Devil Jin always comes w/ bulI horns, black wings and red demonic arms
Hopes for DJ returning as a separate character is pure copium. There's no reason to keep DJ's moves for Jin when there's going to be an entire character that shares those exact moves. (Unless they change DJ's entire moveset that is.) It makes no lore sense too. Why would DJ even be there when Jin's taking control of his own genes? Just wait him for Tag Tournament 3 like the others.
@@Kolossoni Jin was able to use the devil gene since T6(shown with lars vs jin at azasel temple) and guess what devil jin was playable literally devil jin is in the game for Tekken 3 Jin moveset. This T8 jin doesn't have devil jin eletric hellsweep 112 uf4 sidestep 2, and plenty of more moves that devil jin has. So yeah also harada said that the reason why devil jin is in the games (not including t8 as it wasn't being made yet) is because devil jin hasn't become one with jin basically Jin here clearly isn't sharing any personalities with devil jin.(examples: Jin saying that he shouldn't exist, wanting to protect people, strength isn't everything, thinking about his mother as well, jin also in the story trailer doesn't fully transforms to devil jin not even once he only uses devil wings/Examples for Devil jin: fear the wrath of god, laughing at defeated fighter, enjoying destruction, in tag2 doesn't like jun kazama.) Unlike with kazuya and devil where their personalities have become one.(examples: wanting control over everything, mocking jin for not using all of the devils powers, continue the war even tho heihachi is dead wasn't kazuya all about revenge, refers humans as a different race, Kazuya disagrees with jin about devil gene existing, and always fully transform to devil when he wants.)So kazuya and devil are one being but not Jin and devil jin.
@@lastraider2435 The last part about them not being the same is pure semantics. The two are the exact same in regards to lore. Kaz is only able to control his genes whereas Jin can't (prior to 8 at least). Now that Jin is seen to have harnessed his dominance over the genes, DJ is no longer "separate". Also, the only thing diff about jin and kaz is that kaz relies on his devil genes while Jin seems to have absorbed it. Thats why kaz needs to transform into his devil form where jin infuses it. DJ is no more. Just deal with it.
Jin "This wing is here to stay" Kazama. I do love that his wing is incorporated so well into his moveset maybe giving him more air options. Though that rage art is kinda meh imo it's just really by the books and not a lot going on beyond showing his better control over his blood and wing. I just wish there was more than just the straight punch with wing boost/burst.
As a Jin main I am TREMENDOUSLY HAPPY, I love everything about this ''new Jin'', even the Rage Art for me is like a 9.5 (10/10 bias going hard here) but I really do think the intensity, impact and the badass nature of this Rage Art is so well executed, the presentation is just absolutely amazing imo. 11/10 perfect evolution of the character. I am star struck as always 😍🤩🤩💜
Tekken has always been a pretty straight forward game with move sets never changing from character to character. I really think that they are going in a great direction with Tekken 8. It’s about time we got new move sets and character changes
the Jin problem as regards to the story, by the way - he did 'act' evil for a while in the T6, and did indeed cause WW3. However, it was because he had learned of Azazel's existence and that he would eventually rise and destroy everything. So Jin decided to cause massive amounts of sorrow and anger in the world so that Azazel's return would happen faster. Also Azazel apparently had some connection to the Devil Gene so only Jin or Kazuya could kill it (and given Kazuya's usual mindset Jin couldn't trust his dad to do jack). The problem was, while he intended to fix it, he was so fucked after the Azazel battle he passed out and got lost in the desert for a while while pops and gramps fucked everything up in his absence (the entire T7 plot) TL;DR - Jin knows he fucked up giving Azazel energy and leaving the job half done and now he's back to fix it and fuck up his pops in the process.
I saw this one comment on the trailer pretty much explaining the implications of Jin's Rage Art, which I thought was really cool, so I'm just gonna relay it here. It's short and simple, but also efficient and straight to the point, pretty much telling us all Jin needs is one punch to end everything, with his "iron fist".
Despite myself never playing as Jin, he’s always been my favorite male character in the franchise (also, childhood video game crush right here..). Seeing him back in full glory, having complete cognitive control on his Devil gene abilities, and new pre fight and winning dialogue makes me so happy!
@@ronaleelopiga2927 Same! For me, they won me back with him in T7, despite him not playing a key role there. I was never a fan of his dark characterization in T6. Even if it was his attempts to stop the Devil gene, he still let thousands of people get killed in the crossfire. He did bring out a WWIII. By T7 and ESPECIALLY here, they hit the reset button and brought the old Jin back with an upgrade! I guess I will forever have a soft spot for him.
@@galaxy_kitten95 Mm!! Same here! I have a soft spot for him and Xiaoyu, even though I'm an Asuka main XD I just love both of them so much with all my heart! And I grew up with them, as well!
Definately getting Rock Howard vibes with moves and end pose, so glad he's gotten over his evil dictator phase - can play the character with more vindiction
I'll admit that his claw moves are really differentiating him from Kazuya since I always had trouble really understanding the differences between the two. Both of them are using their devil genes in pretty different ways- Jin being quite more agile and Kazuya more powerful.
I guess they’re consolidating Jin & Devil Jin. I wonder if Jin getting passed over for Smash Ultimate due to Devil Jin being a separate character was a factor.
Lars has come to be my favorite. I'll always love Heihachi... that is a given. Jin looks way more fluid. He has total control over the "devil" now right? Those are claw strikes and punches
Yea I've been playing with Jin for a while and I must say. Learning how to play with him has been extremely fun and hard at the same time. It's hard because I suck at the game haha and Jin isn't easy to master!
“They’re basically doing everything I wanted” as someone who watched this trailer already, as you were listing the things you wanted from him I got more and more excited for you to see it 😂😂😂
So, they’re taking Jin full-protagonist reformed route, it seems. And given he’s mixing in Devil aesthetics with his normal moveset, supposing the idea is that he has full control over his Devil Gene, so I suppose they took a story note out of Capcom’s book ala Ryu with the Mu no Ken for his own self-actualization.
A bit unrelated to the trailer but looking around the stage, there is alot of references to leroy smith such as the coffee shop in the back named "smith coffee", a statue that you can see behind jin during his intro that looks like leroy and his dog and then the billboards around the stage have his name
Maybe they're getting the trailers for characters that they've already revealed out of the way (Kazuya, Jin, Paul, Law, Lars and Nina), and once they're done with those the other trailers will be more spaced out. Also it'd be cool if there were two versions of every character's rage art, a normal one and a heat one, just like there are level 3 super arts and critical arts in Street Fighter 6.
4:06 not only did they infuse some of his Devil Jin moves, they added the Omen moves from the Tag series too? (When partnered w/ Heihachi or Kazuya) - this Jin is about to be dangerous.
Lenne Hardt as the announcer for TK8 is absolutely based. She adds a unique level of hype to the game. (And I'm a guy who likes the Tekken 4 announcer, the opposite to her loud inflection)
Feel like you can only to 1 combo extension (screw, bound, flip) per combo ... BUT you have more flexibility since youre not locked into doing only 1 extension like t7 where you HAVE to do a screw attack to extend your combo
Weird that Maxi didn't notice the no animation in the hot dog seller,his "truck" is moving and kinda taking damage but the guy don't move at all with the "truck".
I think we'll still get a devil jin. The way his wing/wings don't fully materialise and fade away almost instantly suggests that's his not letting the 'power' freely take hold of him. He uses it and then drops it almost instantly. The power stays for a small fraction of time. I'm happy that Jin's been given an update to his character and command list.
Surprised Max didn't comment about how Jin's outro is REALLY similar to Rock Howard's from SNK....Max plays that character so much it seems he'd notice..or maybe he did and I didn't see it on stream or something.
My guess is Jin starts getting all power hungry to beat his father in the early parts of the game but his mom's spirits helps him more to control his evil half and to master the kazama fighting style from what we saw in the story trailer which is why he seems more calm than he usually is and has control over his devil gene and can use it's power without fully transforming. People forget that his mother's fighting style was made to suppress people with the devil gene.
I agree with something LordKnight said a while back. If you like a complicated character, learning an easy character first is taking time away from learning the complicated character.
14:31 kinda, kazuya did the thing that in T7 was his devil transformation that has a pseudoparry (if well timed), jin in this case did his old OMEN stance (like in ttt2) giving him access to other mvoes, cause the next thing he did was an OTGF (omen thunder god fist) thats my opinion
Hoping polish karate comes back as well. Love seeing the different styles of karate at play. Jin has a modern kempo style mixed in with tricking, Lidia has modern competition style karate stuff you saw in the Olympics for a second mixed with shotokan I think. Now I need Bob back who is very much US sport karate /tricker
@@sarahbryant3784 lol funny enough Jin is isn't too far from real world stuff. The flip kicks are based on an acrobatic sport called martial arts tricking, it's a mix of martial arts, gymnastics and a bit of flare from like breakdancing. Bob uses alot of moves from tricking
Tekken 6 lore is really interesting actually. Jin literally does fake being a bad guy and purposely starting world War 3 because of a prophesy that foretold that azazel would reawaken when waR broke out in the world again. So jin purposefully forces him to reawaken so that he can kill him to prevent the end of the world as otherwise jin could be old or dead by the time azazel awakens and there would be no one strong enough to defeat him
Thank God my legend is back once more and looking at his new position and new attitude. "Strength isn't everything" is the right way for my boy completely changed from dark to finally found his composer.

Yea I've been playing with Jin for a while and I must say. Learning how to play with him has been extremely fun and hard at the same time. It's hard because I suck at the game haha and Jin isn't easy to master!
“They’re basically doing everything I wanted” as someone who watched this trailer already, as you were listing the things you wanted from him I got more and more excited for you to see it 😂😂😂
Some of his karate moves were replaced by claw attacks from the devil form. His super also seems way too simple when compared to Kazuya's.
So we not gonna talk about how Jin has kazuya’s dragon uppercut on the wall👀 into full combo
Bro that is what had me hyped. You can only do that in Tekken 3, Tag and Tag 2 with Omen Stance. Bringing back that Tekken 3 Jin a little bit.
I’m more of a fan of Tekken 3-4 versions of Jin Kazama, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing more of him in Tekken 8.
The best versions of Jin
Jin the Bloodedge
I just noticed at 8:33 leroy has his own coffee shop called Smith Coffee & his Image is on the will over the hot dog stand so Leroy confirmed?
And his statue is in the background of the stage and his name is on the billboards im pretty sure this is his stage
His divekick loooks like a new Sen-3+4 which is good because NO ONE ever used that move before
So, they’re taking Jin full-protagonist reformed route, it seems. And given he’s mixing in Devil aesthetics with his normal moveset, supposing the idea is that he has full control over his Devil Gene, so I suppose they took a story note out of Capcom’s book ala Ryu with the Mu no Ken for his own self-actualization.
I can't help but think of Zenkaiger when I hear the announcer. Such a good anniversary season.
I was JUST on twitch trying to see this reaction….i shouldve been patient.
I haven't played Jin since tekken 5 and he looks amazing in this one
He got devil Jin and his standard moves mixed and a little bit of heihachi and jinpachi and I think a bit of Lars as well
A bit unrelated to the trailer but looking around the stage, there is alot of references to leroy smith such as the coffee shop in the back named "smith coffee", a statue that you can see behind jin during his intro that looks like leroy and his dog and then the billboards around the stage have his name
Maybe they're getting the trailers for characters that they've already revealed out of the way (Kazuya, Jin, Paul, Law, Lars and Nina), and once they're done with those the other trailers will be more spaced out.
Also it'd be cool if there were two versions of every character's rage art, a normal one and a heat one, just like there are level 3 super arts and critical arts in Street Fighter 6.
All these hits looks so powerful.
4:06 not only did they infuse some of his Devil Jin moves, they added the Omen moves from the Tag series too? (When partnered w/ Heihachi or Kazuya) - this Jin is about to be dangerous.
My body is ready to study this new Jin! Let's get it.
Jin has FINALLY mastered the Satsui no Hado
They just made him rock howard design wise, i approve.
Lars: You stole my moves
Jin And Kazuya: What do you mean your moves, you use our style
2:59 Ah, the Forest of Ks. I wondered where they kept getting all the extra Ks to make screen resolutions better
I'm pretty Sure they are doing a trailer for all the Characters that will be available at Evo Japan
With king being a grappler/wrestler they can completely overhaul his character with new grapple combos and regular grabs.
Jin looked his most stale in 7, glad to see him lookin’ fresh again
Lenne Hardt as the announcer for TK8 is absolutely based. She adds a unique level of hype to the game.
(And I'm a guy who likes the Tekken 4 announcer, the opposite to her loud inflection)
Jin find inner peace and he's back to be the hero!
That Bob Burger in-game commercial, in the stage, for a letter, Disney would have unleashed their lawyers
I'm definitely Maining Jin unless they get fakhumram balanced if not Jin will be my main
Feel like you can only to 1 combo extension (screw, bound, flip) per combo ... BUT you have more flexibility since youre not locked into doing only 1 extension like t7 where you HAVE to do a screw attack to extend your combo
As a Jin main I'm so hyped for this
Weird that Maxi didn't notice the no animation in the hot dog seller,his "truck" is moving and kinda taking damage but the guy don't move at all with the "truck".
This looks very interesting
Jin Kazama finally mastering his power along with Power of Nothingness Ryu & Thunder Fire God Liu Kang!
Exactly Jin and Ryu is sooo similar to each other they both have demons inside and they finally conquer it
I think we'll still get a devil jin. The way his wing/wings don't fully materialise and fade away almost instantly suggests that's his not letting the 'power' freely take hold of him. He uses it and then drops it almost instantly. The power stays for a small fraction of time. I'm happy that Jin's been given an update to his character and command list.
Surprised Max didn't comment about how Jin's outro is REALLY similar to Rock Howard's from SNK....Max plays that character so much it seems he'd notice..or maybe he did and I didn't see it on stream or something.
shiny eyes jin be like "omae wa mou shindeiru"
Awesome trailer, still want Kazuya to win.
starting up heat:
-Heat Burst (gives 1 stock)
-Heat Engage (gives 2 stocks)
special actions while in heat state:
-Heat Dash (uses 1 stock)
-Heat Smash (uses all stocks/ends heat state)
Looks like I'll need to train with this new Jin since they showed some new moves
another great vid, thanks for helping support the tekken project & community bro 10/10 😊👍
3:44 Jin did one of Law's moves! And it is similar to Guile's Summersalt kick!
My guess is Jin starts getting all power hungry to beat his father in the early parts of the game but his mom's spirits helps him more to control his evil half and to master the kazama fighting style from what we saw in the story trailer which is why he seems more calm than he usually is and has control over his devil gene and can use it's power without fully transforming. People forget that his mother's fighting style was made to suppress people with the devil gene.
I agree with something LordKnight said a while back. If you like a complicated character, learning an easy character first is taking time away from learning the complicated character.
Did anyone noticed, they put Leroy's stone statue and a banner (11:18)
Jin giving me Rock Howard vibes
Bro jin hit the genocide cutter 💀
Jin giving us mad Rock Howard vibes
I literally just watched this wondering, "huh, surprised Max hasn't posted a video about this." And then twenty minutes later:
Max: ".. like in the middle of the night."
the upload time is what sells it for me xd
“Strength isn’t everything.” That’s called growth right there!
14:31 kinda, kazuya did the thing that in T7 was his devil transformation that has a pseudoparry (if well timed), jin in this case did his old OMEN stance (like in ttt2) giving him access to other mvoes, cause the next thing he did was an OTGF (omen thunder god fist)
thats my opinion
I feel like this my second favorite rage art
Hoping polish karate comes back as well. Love seeing the different styles of karate at play. Jin has a modern kempo style mixed in with tricking, Lidia has modern competition style karate stuff you saw in the Olympics for a second mixed with shotokan I think. Now I need Bob back who is very much US sport karate /tricker
Lidia is now the only real karateka, bring her back for the people! Osu
@@sarahbryant3784 lol funny enough Jin is isn't too far from real world stuff. The flip kicks are based on an acrobatic sport called martial arts tricking, it's a mix of martial arts, gymnastics and a bit of flare from like breakdancing. Bob uses alot of moves from tricking
That person running the hotdog stand looks way too calm about two violent men almost tilting over their cart.
Lots of Tekken 3 vibes with his personality and style. And loving the new outfit 🔥🔥🔥
Square Enix got their *“One-Winged Angel”* and now Bandai Namco has a *“One-Winged Devil”*
Tho devil jin has angel wings
Tekken 6 lore is really interesting actually. Jin literally does fake being a bad guy and purposely starting world War 3 because of a prophesy that foretold that azazel would reawaken when waR broke out in the world again. So jin purposefully forces him to reawaken so that he can kill him to prevent the end of the world as otherwise jin could be old or dead by the time azazel awakens and there would be no one strong enough to defeat him
Really got back into Tekken 3 again last night via emulator and Jin's theme still HITS SO HARD in that game... :D
Uncle Lars taught him a few moves! XD
Thank God my legend is back once more and looking at his new position and new attitude. "Strength isn't everything" is the right way for my boy completely changed from dark to finally found his composer.
JIN WAS NEVER A BAD GUY. Did no one play scenario campaign? MAX leading up to 8 play through scenario campaign!
Low-key his Kazama Karate-style was lit. I had fun learning his new move set in Tekken 4.
Damn!! The stage is amazing
Like father like son. Now Jin has a Devil form instead of the same character with a different move set
