#Character ideas for tekken 8 series#

Another ninja who has been a part of the series since the beginning is the fox-mask-wearing thief Kunimitsu. This series isn’t lacking a variety of ninjas with mainstay Yoshimitsu as well as both Raven and his master. On top of their visual appeal, they also stand out due to how unique their movesets are. Their fighting style would return in the fifth and sixth games with Roger Jr., the former’s son who fights alongside his mother.ĭo I need to explain how fun a kangaroo and/or a dinosaur with boxing gloves look? With both bear characters (Kuma and Panda) having design updates in the previous title, it would be great to see any of these animal fighters return with more personality. One of the most interesting palette swap fighters was introduced in the second game with Roger and Alex, a genetically engineered kangaroo and dinosaur respectively.

That wackiness is fully realized with the colorful cast and it’s why you can pit an assassin against a panda named Panda. This is merely a personal list of who I’d like to see return in the latest game.Īs dramatic as the main story can be when it surrounds a family who repeatedly throws one another down cliffs/volcanoes and some of which can turn into powerful demons, there’s no denying how wacky it sounds. Some of these could be seen as shoe-ins, but we don’t know how big the roster will be or if any new characters could take some spots. I won’t be going over the big mainstays that haven’t been revealed so far (besides one) or any guest characters. Even the long-requested Jun Kazama is back in a mainline entry since her debut in 1995’s Tekken 2. Tekken 8 feels especially ripe with possibilities when a lot of characters are seeing big updates in design. As with every fighting game sequel though, nearly the entire period until launch will be filled with wonder and theories about which familiar characters will make an appearance. A surprise announcement trailer at a Sony State of Play and a ridiculous hype trailer at The Game Awards have only made me more interested. The next entry in the Tekken series has been a long time coming and I’ve been excited ever since we had our first tease back at EVO earlier this year.
