YEEEEEESSS!!! LET'S GOOOOOO!!! HWOARANG! IS! BACK IN TEKKEEEEEEEN 8! Super awesome reaction video, Rip! Best! Tekken 8 Trailer! Ever! 10/10! I am super happy and hyped Hwoarang is back in Tekken 8 and I am looking forward to playing him in Tekken 8! Keep up the awesome content! 😎👍🏼
The low with the green/blue sparks looks like its a heat empowered version of the first new low he does at the start, with the little hop beforehand. Hard to tell if in heat it becomes just a full string on hit or if you could do a dif combo after tho. Overall Hwo looks hella cool, makes me wanna pick him back up
definitely has some guard break properties, maybe more chip damage. Its hard to tell without the UI visible but im guessing its some sort of pressure multiplier or build up mechanic, the more green sparks he hits you with the more chip? idk im just guessing.
@@rainofkhandaq6678 gee idk maybe because shrapnel from a grenade hit the dude in the eye. If it was healing why not wear a bandage? A eye patch usually signifies the eye being missing
as a Korean , thank you for pronouncing his name correctly ~ i hear so many ppl saying RANG like telephone rang 😂 411 : ppl in Korea do wear eye patch when they heal their eye
You're the first person I've seen point out that move after the parry is similar to Baek's SS 3+4. I've seen a few analysis vids from Hwoarang mains and even they didn't point that out. Or the extension after LFF 3 which is the same as Baek's chop and also Baek's WS 2. Although the extension is different after WS 2 as Baek's was WS 2, 1 whereas Hwoarang is most likely WS 2, 3. Just noticed too that hellsweep extension from RFF, the last hit from that combo looks like the last hit from Baek's f, F + 4, 3.
I think the green sparks on his feet has something to do with his special heat trait. You can see that the only time we see it is when he has heat active and throwing out his flamingo strings.
I'm wondering if some kicks get chip on block during heat, every green sparkle that connects with a block in the trailer does chip, though not every kick during heat had green stuff. Maybe anything out of stance? 🤔
11:27 I'm thinking maybe they added those green hit sparks to indicate that its a guard breaking move? cuz when Jin also blocks the string, hes glowing orange.
You might be right - if you go back to Paul Phoenix's trailer @ 1:10 when he does his guard break, it looks like there's a greenish spark there. It's not as obvious as in Hwoarang's trailer but they could have updated it since then.
guard break is only exclusive to paul in heat rn because one of paul's trait is that he is so strong and he hits like a truck, he even breaks a wall in his intro also the orange glow is chip damage because hwo's in heat. guard break had that breaking glass effect.
@@Samura5555 what do u mean u dont think? have they ever shown guard breaks to other characters i mean rn it is for paul but if fahkumram gets in he might as well so far paul is the only one shown to have guard break because of heat. law's nunchuk move properties are different in heat as well every character gets different buffs from heat iirc
Saw it pointed out that it looks like as of whatever build the Lili and Hwoarang trailers are running on they've started toning down the VFX on heat. Maybe got some feedback about it being distracting?
Tekken 7 was the weakest one in terms of story, but regarding campaign they went the right way. We need MK like story mode, but every character needs to be fleshed out
@@HeavySandvichGuy1 they should just do a MK style story but give a proper normal Story Mode with prologue, round 1-9 and CGI ending for the rest of the roster.
In my mind I think that Jin finally recognizes Hwoarang as a proper rival and can now return his feelings. Hwoarang has been working and growing and is serious hence the symbolic eye patch removal.
seems like they're making character easier to play. I mean... where is the rocket kick? Is it still a thing in tekken 8? They never showed it?.... Its an iconic move.. I know he is not the hardest but you still need to be mechanically good to play him at max potential.
Namco killed your boy Law skill in doin dss and slide is gone and you smilin ,comenting new trailiers like everything is ok. Get yourself together Rip. Hwoarang got couple of old Beak moves and thats it namco lazy asf in create something new.
His outfit looks cool, his hair looks cool, but his face looks real weird. It looks like an anime character face was grafted onto his head, it looks too small for his ears and his neck.
Hwo easily the best redesign so far. Looks great.
Hwoarang is OPPA now.
Just noticed it says HUNTINGHAWK embroidered on his shoulders on his back. That is such a sick detail!
"...looks sexy as hell"
"Yes. I don't know if it was me or Hwoarang but I agree".
TEKKEN 8 NEWWWW CHALLENGERRRRRRR
HWOARANGGGGG YEAGERRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hwo has one hell of a healing factor
These characters can block bullets, tank nukes, etc
Not that crazy tbh
@@rainofkhandaq6678 Hell Yeah, Bruce survived a Helicopter Crash, Jin survived a gun shot to the head, Hei survived a nuke. 😂
@@_Dee2nd yeah but noone has ever regenerated a literal organ before
@@101mrcrazyman Why do you assume the eye was gone?
@@rainofkhandaq6678 gee idk maybe because shrapnel from a grenade hit the dude in the eye. If it was healing why not wear a bandage? A eye patch usually signifies the eye being missing
He has normal sized feet now

Yep, noticed that too. Personally not a fan of him getting Baek moves, would've preferred those to stay exclusive to Baek.

@@moonlitsonataa i don’t think it’s exclusive to Paul but yeah orange guard effect is chip damage

I think ch f1+2 gives +14 which gives the free heatengagestring which is i14 (and it can be used as a punish outside of that)
6:30 uncle Francis's kick used to be a Baek move
Hey alright
Poof
Hey alright
He is sick come on, y’all kids are never satisfied, you want him to cast magic or what?💀
@@Samura5555 they mad their boy went from weeb to yakuza
Uzumaki Barrage!! 💪

No one is saying that they gave him beak's old stance
With all the cybernetics already within Tekkken, I'm thinking he has a new Cybernetic eye!
The best version of Hwoarang so far. Really cool
I love how Hwoarangs story in Tekken 7 is a grenade blew up near his face and that's it lol...
Tekken 7 was the weakest one in terms of story, but regarding campaign they went the right way.

@@HeavySandvichGuy1 they should just do a MK style story but give a proper normal Story Mode with prologue, round 1-9 and CGI ending for the rest of the roster.
@@LouSassol69er I kinda want a mix of MK story mode and Tekken 5 arcade where each character had 2-3 scenes with another character and then CGI ending
It's your boy!! 😄😄
That move at 11:00 looks like u4 with a different animation
It's amazing but during special the camera is cutting too fast it's hard to what he is even doing😢
rip the goat
I hope he has all of Baek's moves at this point. Miss that guy.
My favourite player

Sky rocket will most likely be in
He looks cooler with age
Easily the best tekken 8 so far.
Ah. So they gave him a lot of baeks moves. So he might’ve actually got harder.
super happy they nerfed backlash
the final kick was inspired by sanji
I bet your friend Speedkicks is licking his fingers now....😈😈
Hwoarange does not even look Korean or Asian. He looks far more italian.
Nah he looks like a Korean manhwa protagonist now
Namco killed your boy Law skill in doin dss and slide is gone and you smilin ,comenting new trailiers like everything is ok. Get yourself together Rip. Hwoarang got couple of old Beak moves and thats it namco lazy asf in create something new.
Damn when you think of it you're right damn it
Maybe he realises it's not that serious. You need to get yourself together, expecting a grown ass man to stay bitter over changes to a game character.
Damn, that's crazy, absolutely no one asked.
RIP is a grown ass man and this is a video game. It’s not that deep. You’ve never touched Tekken 8 yourself and the game is still in alpha.

@@itsjustvin7630 Same thing, different country.
@@JoaoCosta-lt1mc sounds like you never met a Korean or you're narrow minded thinking all asians look the same
