Kazuya : Who the hell are you ?
Reina : *EWGF*
Kazuya : Oh !
Whats ewgf
@@projectfear22it means she isn't gonna sugarcoat it!
@@projectfear22 _"Eww, girlfriend"_
@@projectfear22 Electric Wind God Fist ! Mishima's signature move.
@@doryamanHeihachi when he saw Kaz with Jun:
You actually did a great breakdown on her moves. Not even mishima mains on RUclips broke it down well like you did.
heihachi some zeus motherfucker, tekken 9 gonna have some minotaur dude and he'll be like "kazuya I'm your half-brother"
Old man been gettin' in it 😆
Heihachi 🤝 Yujiro
😂
I’m impressed with how many things you were able to pick up from just your first time watching
So many cool details!
Reina’s theme is very similar to Kazyua’s Tekken 2 theme and her outfit half black and half purple - maybe a hint that she possesses the devil gene.
There is also only one character who’s had yellow lightning and that’s Heihachi in Tekken 4.
Her rage art both stomps and punches Kazyua into the ground (to his grave, basically) and given that Heihachi is dead, he pops up as a silhouette with his glowing red eyes.
It actually reminds me of Heihachi's T2 stage OST 🥲👌🏻
I found her theme to sound more like Heihachi's Tekken 2 arranged theme with the weird weeeeeeuuuuuwww weeeeeuuuwww instrument
THE THEME FUCKING BANGS
That's actually quite true!
@@ranzudezuLRTC
This dood cooked
it's interesting she gives off different colors of electricity effects, and more so she's refered to as purple lightening since some red and blue create purple. Red for jins effects and blue for the mishima's.
lars has been had purple lighting tho
Reina mopped the floor with other new characters. She's on another level. What a great character. She fits Tekken roster perfectly.
Yeah Chat is wrong on this one. She's cool af. Not cringe at all. It's the confidence, but not overconfidence. No sexualization. She's just here to fight. And she actually exhibits a unique fighting style. Plus her visual effects go insane.
She's tight.
A bit late, but while she is cool, ( voice actress and move set 20/10 ) her design lack some spices like a different hair cut or a scar on her eye etc. She looks too much like a "modern fortnite-ish" character zoomer" if that makes sense
L to ya
She has an electric thats all i needed to know.
Reina even has Heihachi's shit eating grin lol. I already love her. She seems very interesting 👀.
I'm seeing a lot of Kazuya in the grin especially the grin at the end
You're one of the few that caught all the heihachi stuff on the first watch, kudos
its crazy how right Phi was about everything bro was like almost 100% accurate with every single guess lol
She's absolutely perfect. The design, the voice, the attitude, the jacket, the movements. Love her already.
What press event was this? Btw
It was the Evo showcase or something along those lines.
in real life taido they want the practitioners to be fluid and creative so a lot of their moves can be linked, so this character will probably have a lot of moves that can be linked easily, from low stance to high kick easily... there is a lot of sneaky moves in taido but most moves can be read easily since they twist and turn a lot... evasion, gap closer and space creation is their thing, so she will probably like a more mobile lucky chloe with an electric
Charismatic + evil count me the f in!
She’s giving me confident battle maniac vibes. It’s like she’s Bryan but taking medications on time.
I also like her dual personality where she’s an innocent sweet girl then switches over to straight up cold blooded killer, you can see that on his interaction with Jin like how she switches personality in between.
Yeah I saw that too, I think the senpai part's more like teasing than anything else
She's marvelous!
The biggest draw for me is that she looks like she hits hard. Super dope intro too with her sitting in heihachi's chair then standing up in that same cross armed manner.
Oh snap she brings out heavy Azula energy. I'm down for it
Love herrr
Damn how did i not realize she was using Taido, the move she does @6:44 is called a Ebi Geri, Shrimp kick.
U know the martial art or?
@@projectfear22 I know of it, I do Kung Fu but I like to explore and learn about other styles and try to incorporate some moves in. There is a really good channel called ThisisTaido that I learned alot about it from. People say that Taido looks like Japanese Capoeira which isnt quiet true but they are similar. Ebi geri is the one move that I've manage to learn on my own from studying their videos. There is also a channel called Kurobi World that showcases the master as well. That channel explores martials arts in Japan. Which incidentally I believe the guy from that channel did the Karate mocap for Lidia Sobieski
2:35 it’s the same animation as OTGF
Super awesome video, PhiDX. The Tekken 8 trailer for Reina was awesome and electric. Keep up the awesome content 😎👍🏼
everytime this youtuber says "right?" i replay "right" back totally agreeing. Subscribed.
LOL I was gonna say I say it too much but that's fire
im in love
Stonehead as a heat engager ftw :D
She's definitely the coolest female character. Lidia is a close second.
Azucena though, super badass
@@actuallynotsteve Azucena is a clown character. Renia is serious and more honest.
@@ant_989 yeah but they're both awesome for those reasons
@@ant_989we don't know if she's honest yet. She might be cheap and spammy while also having an electric
Actually this character is truly outdone. Unlike victor. Very authentic feel of tekken from Reina reveal I like her
Ah yes the demon Mishima woman who got me truly interested in Tekken in the first place...and began my quest to make the most radical costumes for any fighting game character.
After fighting the Reina ghost mirror...and using the alternate I can say with satisfaction I have succeeded in creating what could be her Ultimate Costume.
the back walking look kinda like Hei bb3+4 back running property except it is slower.
officially a reina simp now
your chat just tells me a lot of tekken players just hate female characters regardless of personality. Reina's so much better than lucky chloe but is still met with "anime" and "cringe". I don't get it
She’s not better
@@jinjin45 She is by a mile
@Xeratek573 Seems like that to me as well. As if everyone crying "cringe" forgot what fucking game they're playing. It's Tekken. 90% of the characters are over-the-top in one way or another. And don't let me get started on the dialogue. Must be a bunch of newcomers
Those people are right for most of the cast but yeah I agree, this is an interesting design and she has a lot of character. Idk what the complaints are about.
@@jinjin45 HAHAHAHA
I love how Reina has been set up to be as much of a menace as Heihachi; & I hope she's here for the long haul like her menace of a father
I think that stage will be like Geese Howard stage, with a lot of wall brakes
Shes probably calling Jin senpai because they both had heihachi as their teacher/master and Jin was trained before she was
Yeah shes is cool af. Tekken is easily the hypest HYPEST FIGHTING GAME!!!!!
6:49 It's Noctis's roll. There should be a low follow up move as well.
Liked that you pushed back on chat being really pedantic about calling her cringe
We eating good fr fr
REINA BIG POG OMG PLEASE
but like how fire is your outro
Really hope she has execution and isn't braindead because she looks great
The awkward moment when your secret aunt is younger than you then beats you up
Phidx, do you prefer a Japanese lever or Korean?
Phi ur so smart, u knew what moves she did not a lot of ppl knew.. u have the best analysis
Easily the coolest character in the last few Tekken games
6:08 Kuni 1 Stance TT2
The stances look like traditional Shotokan Karate.
Happy 1 day after reina got revealed.
Jin and Reina went to the same school
Her face looks like a mix between Kazuya and Asuka
i was doubtful but she is dope
Yeah the people who saying she is cringe im pretty sure are the cringe ones. I cant wait to main reina and jun. So far the roster in tekken 8 is straight fire.
Now that's what I'm talking about. 😉😉
Wild that the mods are insisting that she's cringy. Is this their first Tekken game?
rukia.....
Happy 2 days after reina got revealed
rush down character, maybe
"Purple lightning"
Then why is her EWGF yellow? Harada? Murray?
it’s yellow and purple :) and the rest of her design is purple
"red tornado" doesn't need to make literal tornadoes that are red, the characters main color is just red . don't be dense, brother.
crack theory but what if she's a test tube baby made by g corp with heihachi's genes lul
if she were kazuya's daughter probably, but heihachi was a freak for sure.
Kazuya age 49
Lars age 28
Reina 16????
super freak
No axe kick needed when you can just step on people
Renia is tight af
This game is going to be one giant knowledge check fest. Asuka is def meaner. She calls her opponents morons. This one is more stylish. This is the coolest one yet imo
I was always hoping the true female Mishima we would eventually get would have been Kazuya's daughter, since compared to Heihachi he was always comparatively more finesse vs Heihachi's brute power; and also create a dynamic where they like each other but are evil, making the villains sympathetic evil characters. Then you could retain Heihachi on the roster, keep him as a character for Tekken 2 flashback scenes or as an apparition Devil uses to haunt Kazuya to keep him angry.
She's kinda like a kusogaki imo
Well theres still hope for mecha heihachi dlc 💀💀💀😂😂😂
I'm guessing Reina has both devil and angel powers. I can't wait to find out her back story
She has a special heat smash for Kaz, damn that's awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The new mishima member maybe
That white winged girl
She got the same haircut as you
これならイケオジのフランス人に勝てそうよね😂❤🎉
She seems complex
The electric is the only reason I’m learning her xd
She doesn't appear to have a wavedash but...she does appear to have a cali roll.😬😬😱😱
We don't know yet but it wouldn't make sense for her to not have a wavedash. Jin and Kazuya also didn't show wavedash on their initial trailers. Don't jump to conclusions too early. Reina is suppose to replace Heihachi and his mains are used to wavedash so I'm 99% sure she got wavedash.
I think Murray said you can wavedash with her
She has an ewgf, so she will for sure have a wave dash
I'm not sure how I feel on the cringe to cool meter on her personality but her using Taido is SO TIGHT!
That martial art is so underutilized it is criminal, I am so happy Tekken is doing so.
Dude you’re playing tekken, most of the characters are cringe, she’s no where near as bad as Jin or kazuya
@@noahleach7690 Exactly. Like these people crying cringe forgot what fucking game they're playing
@@kage432 almost makes me wonder if they like cringy lead male characters but if its a woman they want her in pink, with a high pitch voice squealing like a princess being captured, but thats a lot of speculation lol
I get it, it's Stormfront from The Boys minus the Nazi part and all the evilness lol
liked her more than victor ngl
This dude said heihachi was lame
She's cool, wish she was a bit older though, she obviously concerns Jin and even Kazuya who isn't intimidated by anything, but also she's like... in college, wouldn't look out of place with a backpack and some headphones, i guess she ended up with some really nice foster parents but that doesn't track with her attitude.
For her backstory i imagine Heihachi abandons her like he does everyone and she grows up on the streets or in a dojo somewhere where she learned taido, so she might be resentful, a bit sad but also angry, wearing cheap clothing, instead she's like a young... i don't know, a teenage super villain who was generated yesterday, it's a shame she isn't a bit more believeable but she still looks really cool, i'll definitely use her.
my brother in christ, old people can still have children. im younger than my nephew but he still calls me his uncle, its not weird or out of place
@@nikolowolokin Never said it was, i only wish she was older because it would give her more gravity, Kazuya would toy with Jin to lure out the devil in him and now we see them as equals because Jin has grown and mastered it over 5 numbered games including this one, Reina is a new teen and while having Heihachi's attitude is cool it also feels like a massive shortcut, like she hasn't earned it, some age would help.
i am happy many people like her. My first response was to cringe, largely because of what you said. she is a male archetype put on a female without any adjustments. just a slight tweak and she could have been an Azula, which would work well.
the Heihachi-esque posturing as if she had a muscled body... without having a body like that just feels wrong to me. Just a tad bit less posturing, and a bit more "cold, calculating lightning"
Purple Asuka with a mean streak and Heihachi moves. They could have at least made her hair look more reminiscent of the Mishimas with their pointed up hair instead of this more generic style with purple dyes.
She'd look too edgy and stupid with those hair pointed upwards. The hair is perfect as it is. Just enjoy that Namcocks finally nailed it with this character.
Bro her appearance I guess no Anna Williams now~
Twitch chat is cringe.
Her character doesn't seem cringe to me, for me she seems like s female mix between kazuya and jin. less arrogant then kazuya and more focused on the fight like jin
Finally, finally...Harada woke up from his trance of identity crisis by launching an interesting, enigmatic, very cool character like Azucena and above all...with fighting qualities consistent with the Tekken franchise, which is what matters most, and Not like the previous Noctis 2.0 KFC bootleg colonel, cheap character with exaggeratedly fanciful attacks that have nothing to do with Tekken, Harada has reconsidered, it shows and satisfactorily closing the launch of new characters, excellent👊😆👍
You can't go back to traditional after Alisa lol
@@haydenfisher1387 You also missed mentioning the robots Jack, Bryan, P. Jack and Combot, at least in all of them there is the justification that they are machines, not like the KFC bootleg colonel who is not so that he has those extremely meaningless movements , genius, lol🤣🤣
How old is Reina then
One thing that really bothers me with Tekken's design philosophy as it pertains to Female Characters is how *ALL* of them have to be flippy evaders that don't play you standing up straight. I don't mind these characters as much as others do as it pertains to actually playing against them, I really don't. But as someone who's going to publish original fiction by next year, and actually appreciates what it means to have a diverse cast, I'm pretty sure the *FIRST* Female Character in Tekken that didn't do flippy evading, super low stances, or had a specific Gimmick over Martial Arts is Kazumi. I guess you could say Kazumi had Fly which was kinda Gimmicky, but if Fly is Gimmicky then Slide is definitely Gimmicky and I don't think Kazumi or Slide is.
Kazumi is literally one of the only Female Characters in the franchise that fights you while standing straight up and isn't String-String-String (Like Anna and Nina) This is not great for the identity of each character, because if all Female Characters do flips, tricks, or have omega evasion, they don't feel that different from each other. Ironically the ones that feel the most different from each other and are clearly different characters than the rest of the Female Cast are Kazumi (Because she fights while standing up straight) Lidia (For the same reasons as Kazumi and I wish she weren't fighting with Karate because Tekken already has a billion Karate representatives) and Alisa (Because she's a robot who fights with Chainsaws)
I think Reina is pretty cool actually, but she's made a lot less cool by the fact that she's doing flips and low stances like literally every other member of the Female part of the roster. I understand that's just what they went for, but it doesn't have as much immediate visual clarity. Someone like Steve, Jin, and King couldn't be further from each other, but Female Characters often feel closer than they don't in the visual identity on their attacks.
I don't think it's a coincidence that people are immediately making comparisons to Asuka, and I don't think that's necessarily a good thing to be so quick on the draw and be like: "Yeah! She's just like this other character we already have!" Maybe I'm reaching and being a Debbie Downer, but I would appreciate it if the Female Characters literally just stood up straight and fought. That would go HARD.
I think she's cool, has potential, and is interesting. But I guess there's more cynic in me than I thought there was. :/
Cringe
Anime delinquent girl is way more sexualized, at least 95% of the time. Simple angry girl too, is usually much more sexualized or hugely exagerated.
I'm guessing she is someone who got possessed by Heihachi's spirit, rather than just a daughter. Character looks sick.
It's already stated in the story that she's his daughter. Check IGN articles.
I love Heihachi, and hate female characters, i hope her moves aren't too gimmicky, maybe i can finally find love.
Why does she have to be so stupidly evasive? She's going to reduce opponents to spamming homing mids. It looks incredibly annoying
Cry harder.
Lars’ mother ?
Her outfit is corny, but her kit looks sick
I don't really know.....
For me it is one of the few trailers where i was just...
BORING!!!
Hope we will get trailers for Yoshi and co before the game is released
idk, not really feeling it. Basically a young japanese high school girl with attitude. We already have Asuka. I understand that some people like the attitude, others find it cringeworthy. All in all not mind blowing
We don’t even know if she’s a young high school girl dude stop being weird just because she’s Japanese doesn’t make her automatically a high school girl you creep.
And attitude wise she is completely different to Asuka, she’s clearly a little more sadistic and scarier than Asuka, probably not as good hearted.
@@Squidward-jv7gosimp triggered
The design is generic, the evasive moves are boring, the electric is completely out of place. It's just another female character and you know exactly the type of people who'll play her. You won't see her doing electrics since that's a hard input for that type of player.
@Alimentasable nah you tripping harder than any female. Some people with actual execution(Mishima mains) are excited for her to have an electric as well as her being a female character that looks like she hits hard.
@@Alimentasableplus she's using taido a style that needed to see light in tekken.
Raina is a cheap made characters!
-sigh- They gave up Heihachi. For another idol girl with a copy and paste face as at least 3 girls we already have. Gave up our boy for this.
Why u gotta be negative doomer bro, her kit looks cool/fun.
@@yoshitsune5691Her kit looks cool, but her design doesn’t imo
We have like 8 Tekken games with Heihachi already, if you want to play Heihachi, boot up one of those
@@jinjin45 that’s fair enough hopefully the customisation is good.
omega cringe
No, she’s unironically cool. Not cringe at all
only you would notice she moved one frame earlier lmfaooo
