@@ohitischris2119It makes zero sense to literally have Tifa in Tekken 8 now, because 1. We literally have Noctis in the Tekken Universe, 2. The promotion of FF7 Rebirth has already passed since it's launch, 3. The sales of that game was extremely poor, as they barely passed around 2 Million Copies worldwide, and 4.

The interview questions were perfect. So excited to see what comes next in Tekken. TMM hitting 10, 000 subs on twitch as a Tekken streamer is insane and speaks to the new audience this game is reaching.
The replay feature in tekken 8 is already a huuuge innovation in my opinion that will probably become a mainstay across all fighting games in the near future. Its also very underrated and under-promoted compared to some of the other overhyped and over-promoted stuff that isn't as important or impressive.
@@hurricane7727 Dude they just used to show a replay of how you got KO'ed or KO'ed your opponent. It was epic but not useful. And the tutorials were there in every game but the replays in Tekken 8 help so much more in sooo many different ways to improve yourself if you know how to use it.
@@hurricane7727 He's talking about the replay takeover feature. Which has also existed in other fighting games before like Guilty Gear XX AC+R, but Tekken is the first huge fighting game to implement it.
But Tekken 8 isn't a dead game nor franchise so that doesn't apply here. Also the biggest Tekken tournament was this past weekend at Evo. So you're wrong.
@@sigmalaflareThat's literally not what he means, he's talking about a character being "dead" only to be revived in the next installment to boost sales. Comprehension.
Tekken is all about who is the worst villian in the series... That's why Akuma and Geese make sense... Although I'm shock from Negan because of non VG character (but still a villian), but why noctis tho (must be meant SC6 but Tekken are more popular to advertise their (square enix) game... So Rock Howard is too protag hero to get guest pass...
Heihachi is indeed Tekken, without him it wouldn't be the same 🔥 But still i'm curious about How will they take Heihachi from here, especially with Jin and Kazuya are no longer having Devil Genes, probably Reina will be his next target...
@@LOBOTOMINIZER Project X Zone 2 has Kiryu and Majima fighting enemy characters in the crossover franchise. Some which are female. Tekken Tag's main "antagonist" Unknown is an enemy boss character the player has to defeat. What I'm basically saying is that it's already been done before. Let him in.
Heihachi is too iconic to let go. If M Bison came back, so can the OP Grandpa. ...also *Sephiroth* better be the guest character! One winged angel vs these devils just fits 👌🏼
He doesn’t tho, he looks just as old just different cuz of the complete design changes everyone got to their faces. His hairs also still grey it just looked darker cuz of the lighting in the shot we got
They will get it back or else no devil jin and he is also an established beloved char + who whould be able to fight reina? 🤔 They will never let the devil gene plott go,its basicly the main driver of the series
If you look back at how dark and gritty Jin's ending was in Tekken 3, it’s clear how impactful it was. Today's storyline, in contrast, feels anti-climactic. It no longer focuses on pure wrath or bloodlines; instead, it’s been adapted for younger audiences and driven by marketing strategies. Heihachi's return is a nod to fans who wanted him back, but it’s also aimed at appealing to Gen Z and the broader public.
Heihachi being in as season one dlc is a slap to the face for people who want other characters back. He should've been season 2 dlc especially because of his "death."
at this point they should just bring back every single dead character to every single game and just make them like none story character and just have them in the versus. whats the point of killing off characters if they just come back. lets just bring them all back regardless of the story
He shouldn't be in the story. Noctis and Geese were non canon, so, he could be too. T7 is now meaningless. Entire final battle is now just another Kazuya vs Heihachi.

Question is why Heihachi seem to look younger? as young as he was between Tekken 2 and 3
I'm sure Reina has the answers why 😂😂
Now him and Kazuya are the same age
This Heihachi is from the multiverse
He’s tapped into his ancestors powers connected to the gods of lightning and rain. Raijin and Fujin.
He doesn’t tho, he looks just as old just different cuz of the complete design changes everyone got to their faces. His hairs also still grey it just looked darker cuz of the lighting in the shot we got
Heihachi IS Tekken.
My man Heihachi is the embodyment of the "too angry to die" meme.
Need Armor King Back
Murray- so it wasn't a lie. That can mean a lot of things since we were shown a young Heihachi, instead of the TK7 version.
For things like the AI match recordings, do you need to have purchased the character in order to practice against them?
yes
This will be interesting since both Jin and Kazuya don't have the devil gene anymore.
They will get it back or else no devil jin and he is also an established beloved char + who whould be able to fight reina? 🤔
They will never let the devil gene plott go,its basicly the main driver of the series
