That face says it all. All those years of tmmswe being faithful to kaz through thick and thin and to see his main killing was so good to watch. Happy for you Mainman
This isn't a revamp, it's a total deviation. "AgReSSIvE" gameplay means Kaz will no longer be a punishment character, just spam attacks like everyone else most likely
@@drabnail777 you mfs always find something to complain about 💀. How about waiting for an actual match between two people before jumping into conclusions lol
Anyone who has played and loved Kazuya or Tekken since the beginning and has followed TMM can understand why this is such an amazing reveal, all those years of growing up with the game and the character it’s so exciting and it really brings a tear to your eye seeing how far Tekken has come 😭
@@seanyoung9014 kazuya SHOULD be a problem.. It's kazuya, he should always be feared.. It's unacceptable that someone like him is mid tier, just like it would be unacceptable if akuma or ryu aren't top tier in SF..
Kazuya telling Jin "Don't get smart with me" 😂 he's really fitting into his father role. Notice how his combos look more like Heihachis now 👀 Nice 1 Bamco 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's the same to what he did in blood vengeance movie.. you remember when kazuya, heihachi, Jin fought in honmaru then kazuyu jumped and axe kicked either heihachi or Jin? Check it out if you didn't
"Even you who are not Kazuya mains must feel like this presentation is 11/10..." Correct. Watching this has awoken a desire to learn Kazuya that I have felt never before.
Oh yeah. After seeing kazuya in tekken 7 for years now, I’ve always felt he needed a buff or a rework. Pretty sure he wasn’t that high on the tier list either. He looks freakin incredible in this trailer. I might have to pick him up when I get the chance. The moves in tekken 8 are looking so fluid. Jin has always been my favorite because I just love his move set. It’s not too flashy, but it is stylish. When playing jin correctly, it’s a treat to watch. Devilster is a great example of having the most optimized Jin. Too bad he hasn’t been in a tournament yet. I know he’d show the world what a true Jin master is capable of. Might even see a jin finally win an evo if he gets the chance.
His character design is 11/10 as well. I mean...it's like the developers went out of their way to make him look more evil..and older. From t3 to t7 the older characters didn't look aged enough imo. Now in Tekken 8 the aging looks either too realistic or exaggerated. Idk if T8 is getting a time gap, but Paul for example looks too aged
@Victor Alvarez you're missing the meaning intended. Hopefully this helps. "Drip is a term to refer to someone's cool sense of style. Hip-hop culture popularized the term, and it gained popularity as a way to describe a person's impressive and trendy appearance. Drip can apply to clothing, shoes, jewelry, or just how someone carries themselves".
Probably the best fit I've seen on an FG character ever. Not a single diamond on him but it's so icy. Did Namco hire actual tailors for the character designs?!
@@vncube1 frrrr though the leather coat and its' scales are so clear I can almost touch it Not sure Kazuya would appreciate it though I'll steal the Yeezys instead 🏃🏃🏃
Well this was fucking amazing. So much more impactful then Nina’s to me. Especially the wall part got me gased up with the violence of the hits plus the wall behind disintegrating. Might pick Kaz just for how he looks, but cant wait to see my boy Bryan.
One small attention to detail that I noticed and I love is that his voice has reverberated in his devil form. In every game before now gameplay-wise his voices sounded the same but now they actually got it right
Well they said it's a new Era of tekken they havent been hyping up the fight between jin and kazuya as the end like in tekken 7, so it's not looking that way, but I agree.
The only thing I'm praying everyday is that; since we are having Nina with guns, Kaz with lazer beams and we already had Noctis with greatswords and spears, please change Yoshimitsu fighting style and make him use his sword despite for seppuku and flash, he deserves so much more 🙏
They amped up Kazuya's brutality like I always wanted. I hope T8s new features come together well and that this proves to be a good installment. Our guy looks godly in this trailer can't wait to get my hands on this.
@@jasonsmith530 good. Although to be fair, Namco did start making RA's longer and more epic with DLC characters. Like compare Feng, Kaz and jin yo AK and Marduk.
When I saw the T8 Kazuya trailer this morning, this was the reaction video I wanted to see. Kazuya has been my favourite fighting game character since Tekken 4 and I was overwhelmed watching this… I can only imagine how unbelievably happy mainmanswe was and probably still is! You deserve it mate!
As a Jin main, looks like a good couple of his moves and general ideas have been added to Kazuya's arsenal. SO hyped to see what Jin ends up looking like if Kazuya is getting this much of an overhaul. I was certainly one of worryingly few people who seemed optimistic about Tekken 8, but now I mean HOLY IT LOOKS SO GOOD!
Honestly kazuya needed this, I'm not sure Jin will get the same treatment cause as a character Jin developed very well.. Many Kazuyas key tools have been the same ever since ttt1 not the case with Jin.. But i do hope Jin gets interesting stuff
@@kenny_green5962 I’m down for new moves, but I hope they don’t remove most of his older move sets. Especially zen stance 1+2 I think is the one where jin goes into zen avoiding highs and launches using a powerful 1+2 launcher. It looks so clean in t7. I hope they keep that. I hope they drop a jin trailer.
I'm actually overly joyful for this one, as it's clearly been made for people like TMM, Kazuya looks the absolute best he's ever been. A purely awesome gift to Kazuya mains.
I just realized that if you pause it while Kazuya's render is still in the shadow, the only thing you can see out of his stance is his red eye, nice touch.
13:27 I love how mainman shows up with the MASKU right when Kazuya does the kick at the end of the rage art. Then it disappears as the rage art fades away perfectly timed! His stamp of approval!
Just came from watching Maximillian Doods reaction also and not even a couple minutes in he says “I bet main man is shitting his pants right now” 😂 so accurate. I cannot wait to see how all these new mechanics play and this new era of Tekken!
Unsure if he will have it outside of Heat Mode but the fact that they show CD1 now screwing/spinning/combo extending earlier in the trailer and then showed 3,1 transitioning to Hell Lancer (during Heat Mode) probably implies you will want to 3,1 into CD1 and get the extender from there.
never touched another character in T7 other than Kaz ever,grinded with him from 1st Dan to tgp and that took years to achieve looks like I will not touch any other character in T8 as well can't wait my boy 🔥
I've never been into reaction videos, however, knowing TMM love of the character makes this feel more genuine. Also, is anyone else reminded of the T5 opening music where Heihachi and Kazuya are fighting off the Jack-5 units?
I really appreciate they're doing everything they can to make this game actually feel a lot more distinct than the previous ones, that they even bothered changing almost all character grunts, and even the hit sounds.
It's like a completely new and different game, I absolutely love it. In a way it levels the playing field for everyone, including pros. Now everyone will have to start from scratch
I was worried at first but the more trailers they release, the more it makes sense and looks like a refreshing change. The movement is starting to remind me of the Arika made fighters and I absolutely love those games. I know they worked on the netcode for this but I wonder if they had any other input. Interesting.
I have mad faith in Tekken, so I won’t worry yet. Although I do feel like this game is becoming some Street fighter - V-trigger type fighting game focused more on special commands rather than strings.
I don't. T8 thus far gives every indication of doubling down on all that I despise the most about T7, and what led me to refocus my attention towards older Tekkens, namely T7's tilt towards range 0 to 1 brawling and pitbull aggression. This is evident from the heat mechanic, coupled with movement remaining as is in T7 (this can be seen from the Nina trailer, during which she takes what is clearly a feeble T7 sidestep, and from another video explaining the new mechanics of the game in depth, where at one point Paul takes a piddly T7 backdash into duck into WS+2). So I'm far from enthused. As far as I'm concerned, Murray, Harada et al can take their 'aggression' and shove it up their arses!
Odd to see that TMM didn't also notice how Kazuya did some Heihachi like tech/moves in the trailer. Almost makes me sad that this could mean Heihachi might not be a playable character (on launch at least?)
This is groundbreaking stuff tbh. A character in a legacy fg series who has barely budged in terms of overall play style and look/feel, and they had the balls to give him a proper revamp after more than two decades. Just amazing to see really, hats off to Tekken team. Pretty sure Jin's trailer is next, if they combine Tekken 3 Jin/7 Devil and 4-7 Kazama style into one it's going to be crazy lmaoo. I'm not ready
@@workemail8723 I don't know about that. The game is still a work in progress and from what we've seen, Jin seems pretty much finished and polished. Jin and Kazuya look the most complete from the footage we got so far, so it would make sense to show a finished character. Major new character reveals will be saved for events with a lot of eyes on them, like tournaments or playstation state of plays/e3/game awards. Now I could be wrong about ALL of this if Jin has a new plot related form or something, that will get revealed in a story trailer first. We'll see!
14:53 As someone that hates Kazuya? Yeah this was easily the best trailer so far, they made him look super sick and I'm very happy for Kazuya mains right now
It’s exactly like what Kazuya said in the trailer “I control everything” even his devil gene now. Laser out of devil form, way more dangerous looking devil mode (if devil is heat mode then he can devil form on round start)
Something thats really grasped me about Tekken 8 is the announcer! People say they dislike them, but I know they find themselves mimicking the voice because is already so damn *iconic!* This announcer actually feels like someone you'd hear in a real tournament
This announcer is just for the trailers, in the showcase they clearly have a traditional tekken announcer while for the trailers, they have a well known combat sport announcer Lenne Hardt who has announced for pride fc and other organizations. Having her in the trailers for tekken is peak martial arts and fighting game media mixed into one.
8:35 that should be b2,1 1+2 so I guess it's gonna be i14 again start up as b2 mid and then high, high as a combo ender but risky in neutral to not risk highs. Also, good to know that cancan still at least -15 there. At 9:50 his twin pistons look like Jinpachi's df2,1 from Tag 2, so it could be just neutral df1,2 but with new animation and I guess when you hit it after launch your opponent will bounce in the air or something so you can continue a combo. At 12:43 b1+2 is a starter for heat there with pushback and then during hit he can do df1,2 but animation is from Tag 2 as well which is mid/high!
I am 100% with you on this one, I'm a Jin main but still deeply ADORE Kazuya and I know exactly how you feel about the crying. Same thing happened to me a few times throughout a few games 😅Juri in SF6 (Been my main since SF4) Seeing Jin in the first real T8 trailer made me feel that way as well. Man we've been playing these characters for ages and this is like honestly so far the peak and best they have ever been period. This brings me immense joy and I cannot wait for both T8 & SF6, both game finna be so DANG AMAZING!!! CANNOT WAIT!!! 😄😁🤩😍💜 (also dunno why but TH-cam unsubscribed me from you... I've been subbed for years... I resubbed obviously but that's annoying...)
Kazuya has absurd amount of defense, arguably too much even. But almost no offense whatsoever. Now, give everyone including him more offense and less defense... Yeah, looks scary.
This trailer alone has built so much hype for me as a Tekken fan, it makes me feel like whatever concerns I might have had about the game are in good hands at Namco
Kazuya has had enough of everyone's shit because damn everything about him is cold, his moveset, his clothes and his rage art
Kazuya was like....Harada wants aggressive gameplay? Hold my beer.
Tekken 8 Kazuya is PISSED!
About time Kazuya finally gets the respect he deserves!
That fresh out of the volcano energy is back
He's not gonna sugarcoat it
That face says it all. All those years of tmmswe being faithful to kaz through thick and thin and to see his main killing was so good to watch. Happy for you Mainman
Too bad game is ass
I feel like kaz definitely needed a gameplay revamp and its looking good. Kaz deserved more awesome moves.

Ye, hope not

Something thats really grasped me about Tekken 8 is the announcer! People say they dislike them, but I know they find themselves mimicking the voice because is already so damn *iconic!* This announcer actually feels like someone you'd hear in a real tournament
This announcer is just for the trailers, in the showcase they clearly have a traditional tekken announcer while for the trailers, they have a well known combat sport announcer Lenne Hardt who has announced for pride fc and other organizations. Having her in the trailers for tekken is peak martial arts and fighting game media mixed into one.
@@georgetorres2722 I'm honestly sad this announcer is for the trailers only. I'd love it if there was an option to have her as the game announcer!
I didn't like the announcer at first but it has definitely grown on me!
Sounds like someone you'd hear in Baki
TMM: "Look at my baby boy all grown up."
Very nice... He looks really good in-game as well
8:35 that should be b2,1 1+2 so I guess it's gonna be i14 again start up as b2 mid and then high, high as a combo ender but risky in neutral to not risk highs.
Also, good to know that cancan still at least -15 there. At 9:50 his twin pistons look like Jinpachi's df2,1 from Tag 2, so it could be just neutral df1,2 but with new animation and I guess when you hit it after launch your opponent will bounce in the air or something so you can continue a combo. At 12:43 b1+2 is a starter for heat there with pushback and then during hit he can do df1,2 but animation is from Tag 2 as well which is mid/high!
Kazuya seems like he's inherited some of his fathers jab cancels, thats cool
I am 100% with you on this one, I'm a Jin main but still deeply ADORE Kazuya and I know exactly how you feel about the crying. Same thing happened to me a few times throughout a few games 😅Juri in SF6 (Been my main since SF4) Seeing Jin in the first real T8 trailer made me feel that way as well. Man we've been playing these characters for ages and this is like honestly so far the peak and best they have ever been period. This brings me immense joy and I cannot wait for both T8 & SF6, both game finna be so DANG AMAZING!!! CANNOT WAIT!!! 😄😁🤩😍💜
(also dunno why but TH-cam unsubscribed me from you... I've been subbed for years... I resubbed obviously but that's annoying...)
"I mean im sorry....thats my Main who do you Main? Oh Lucky Chloe" - Mainman this had me in tears 5:14
TMM was in heat this entire trailer. Bamco did not sugar coat it with the Kazuya trailer.
5:24 I'm not gonna sugarcoat it looks amazing.
7:50 looks like Jin's current zen stance 2
I'm happy for you mainman! You must be very excited
We all are brother! Our boy Kaz is looking amazing!
@@GEORGIOSMGEORGIADIS4 haha funny seeing u here mr George. Yes we all love kaz
@@thehunterwr4666 I'm everywhere 😜😂
@@GEORGIOSMGEORGIADIS4are you sure about that 🤔
@@thehunterwr4666 Nah, jk 😅😅
2:43 im pretty sure every kazuya main just had this exact reaction in unison all over the planet
They're likely reworking him to fit the more aggressive play-style of 8, whereas, on previous entries, Kazuya was more about defence and reads.
Yes
i think that they made him actually more versatile. he now can play both aggresive and defensive consistently.
Kazuya has absurd amount of defense, arguably too much even. But almost no offense whatsoever.
Now, give everyone including him more offense and less defense...
Yeah, looks scary.
True, which is why I can't wait to see what they do with Hwoarang and Steve.
@@drewie_m420 *Steve receives kicks*
I have watched this like four times now. The best Tekken trailer brought out the best in you, this is an absolute classic.
Kazuya char model looks wayyy more polished than Law and Paul ones
16:15 This sound seems to mean that they are free together and the two of them control their demon in the body or new slow mo sound!
Just slow mo probably or an effect for the trailer
The only slight objection I have is that they can reduce the FX a bit, the characters disappear a bit sometime in the smoke and dust and glowy stuff
Although it looks more crisp when you watch the original video
Harada says they have a sliding scale in the final game for us to toggle as we see fit. They're listening.
@@bossgbini Nice!
7:35 is the kind of move that made me wanna pick up Kazuya now. It looks SO satisfying.
If this is kazuya in Tekken 8, imagine what the devs would do to armor king. I just wish he is part of the roster.
mainman squirt a little there when the lasers explodes. this tekken gameplay really getting me hype man!
this is all i wanted from kazuya since t7. damnn it's exciting
The Vegeta of Tekken, Kazuya it's so Badass.. ☯️👌
This has the potential to either be the greatest Tekken ever, or the game that kills the series just like tt2.
Looks so good, we can't denied the effort that takes to remake the characters... Good job Harada and company
That was sick. Love the whole touch of him using more Devil moves and making him more villainous than ever before.
Oh how I can't wait for TMM to do a breakdown vid for Kaz when the game come out and our boy Kaz looking good👌
08:32 Leroy Smith is now confirmed but I still need my Bryan Fury 😭😭😭
He's coming
We Kazuys Fans are eating REAL good lately ! This shits AMAZING
Personally, I think they purposely introduced Kazuya first in the upcoming series of gameplay trailers in dedication of you, TMM lol
This trailer alone has built so much hype for me as a Tekken fan, it makes me feel like whatever concerns I might have had about the game are in good hands at Namco
