Over the past two weeks, Bandai Namco decided to strike hard by finishing revealing the fighters of the roster basic of Tekken 8. If the presence of Zafina, Lee Chaolan, Alisa Bosconovitch And Devil Jin does not surprise many people, the publisher has kept the last two revelations well under wraps, because they are entirely new characters, likeAzucena who was the only one until then. We were therefore able to discover Victor ChevalierFrench leader of the independent forces of United Nations whose dubbing was entrusted to Vincent Cassel and it was this night that was revealed Reina, who will undoubtedly play an antagonist role in this episode. In any case, she is not easy with her opponents!
If you thought you were done with Heihachi Mishimathis very mysterious and arrogant young Japanese woman reuses some of her techniquesto start with Saisoku Fujinken (Electric Wind God Fist), Naraku Harai (Spinning Demon), Tengoku no Ikari (Heaven’s Wrath) and his headbutt. Her moveset acrobatic mix style Mishima to which are added movements of taidō. If you’re wondering why she uses the term “senpai” when talking to JinTHE official site Japanese indicates that she is a student of Mishima National College of Technologya name that will speak to manga connoisseurs Tekken: Tatakai no Kanata ni and which serves as a nice wink. And obviously, it does not answer the question of Kazuya asking her who she is, replying that he’ll understand soon enough… as if that wasn’t already obvious enough. As for the course recalling the Mishima Dojohe is called Secluded Training Ground (translating into Secluded training ground).
On the PlayStation Blogdirector Kohei Ikeda indicated that Reina was designed as a character during the development of Tekken 7 almost a decade ago andshe will play an essential role in the Tekken 8 storyline called The Dark Awakens, in addition to the fact that she exudes a charismatic sense of evil reflecting the duality of her personality and fighting style. One of his new techniques is called Sentaimaking it possible to quickly close the distance that separates it from the opponent, and another Unsoku, delivering powerful blows with his agile footwork. It will be particularly effective when located near a wall. Incidentally, during the EVO Tekken 8 Showcase where the revelation was made, Katsuhiro Harada was clear (at 3:58:40): Heihachi Mishima is completely dead.
Trailers dedicated to each fighter who has not had one so far will also be posted online each week, for a total of 11. Yoshimitsu, Steve Fox, Sergei Dragunov, Leo Kliesen, Kuma, Shaheen, Panda, Zafina, Lee Chaolan, Alisa Bosconovitch And Devil Jin will therefore take turns fully showing themselves as a countdown to the launch.
