Anna has completely different play style than Nina, it’s like saying Lee does not deserve the spot because we have Law. I do agree in T8 she’s very gimmicky and scrubby, I personally won’t buy the game if Nina is not there. The reason she’s hated is they can’t deal nor play with her due to massive move list, while Anna is much easier to deal/play. In my opinion Nina, Anna, Eddie, Yoshi, King, Heihachi, Julia, Lei, Law and Paul should be in all games, they give the old classic feel from previous games which make people love the franchise. Overall the roster screams “bad decisions”, we still got 2 bears, Acuzena is not really exciting, having shitty Asuka to complete Lili, nobody likes her and we have Jun, Lars, Leo, Shaheen, Devil Jin. Those characters do not really deserve the spot.
As uninteresting as Shaheen is, he does have some story relevance to the game. His best friend was mysteriously killed when Kazuya's company raided the oil fields in Saudi Arabia. Wanting to figure out what happened, Shaheen entered the seventh tournament to go after Kazuya and get some answers. Speaking of that, Shaheen is after Kazuya, not Jin. I think you were mistaking Shaheen's motives with Miguel's because Miguel is the one that's after Jin. Speaking of which, I don't know why Miguel is seemingly cut from the base roster since he also has story relevance. But I guess he wasn't popular enough and got put on the chopping block
@@DeeallthewayG oh yeah. Eddy too. He got done so dirty in Tekken 7 with Lucky Chloe. Plus, I think the reason he got cut from Tekken 8 is because people were complaining too much about the capo playstyle in 7. I could be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case
I was one of those people who forgot Shaheen was there. U r also right about Jack 8; he is top of everyone's T8 Tier List. U may b right about Steve & Feng being busted and Fengs story is lack luster but dem my guys since day one. I ain't no band wagon dude. But as far as Feng design; I like it sure it could be better. I am an artist and I know I could do a better job with all the characters really. FYI Feng is loosely based on Jet Lee.
Been knew he was based on jet li,they actually got his fighting style from one of jet li old movies which is called once upon a time in China,when jet li played a character called wong fei hong,I think that's where they got the look from to.

@@DeeallthewayG is he that similar? I thought his moveset was different enough to justify it a bit? But I agree if theyre really similar, Im praying to god they finally differentiate kuma and panda, the fact that panda counts as a roster slot is criminal
putting a character in the game for story reasons is stupid, you can put a character in a cutscene without needing to make them a playable character. Wasting resources on unpopular characters that nobody likes/plays feels bad for the devs and the players. Especially when you cut other characters to do it
That’s what I thought as well, I hope this Devil Jin thing is fake, Devil Jin being playable would completely be trite considering Jin has most of his moves.
@@DeeallthewayG hmmm... In the Tekken 6 storyline, Leo is one of the victims of death of His/her mother. And in Tekkentag2, his/her mother was revealed(Emma Kliesen) who took care of young Steve Fox. It was just a basic mystery story mode for Leo. I hate how in Tekken 7 story mode it's simply just some sh*t scene. It sucks but I kinda like Leo just for his playstyle and detail. Anyways no salt man I just saying. But other than that I do agree that the base roster is shit.
Meanwhile I'm a Lei main, and will have to wait and pay extra to play him. Again. If he even comes back. Because it seems he's too hard to play for this new generation and too "gimmicky" for the old mishima elitists, so even when people say they like him, they still don't use him in the game anyway.
we can have a discussion about all the things that you said, BUT THAT FENG'S ANIMATIONS POINT THAT YOU MADE, that's the most uninformed information that you ever made my man, FENG IS THE BEST ANIMATED FIGHTING GAME CHARACTER IN THE HISTORY OF FIGHTING GAMES, every hit has soo much impact, and has proper startup forms and readable poses, JIN KAZAMA used to be cool in tekken 7 but they took away his karate stuff and filled it with anime nonsense in tekken 8.
Super awesome video, Demetrius. While it is unfortunate that the Tekken 8 base roster got leaked and it sucks that happened. However, this base roster leak got me even more hyped for Tekken 8. Say what you will about Shaheen, but I was one of the individuals who liked Shaheen. Even Tekken pro player, LowHigh won Tekken 7 with Shaheen at EVO, back in 2018. Finally, unlike Tekken 7 where it had 8 newcomers at launch for consoles, Tekken 8 will have 3 newcomers in the base roster at launch and it shows, quality over quantity. Keep up the awesome content 😎👍🏼
DON'T YOU HATE ON MY GIRL ASUKA!!! Jokes aside (kinda) I do think they could've just rolled with bringing back the OGs like Bruce, Lei, Eddy, and so on. Characters that, as you say, could've better slid into the roster from a NARRATIVE standpoint. Bruce could've went back and sided with Kazuya again since they're friends, posing a bit of a threat to certain opponents (hell even against Raven)- all due respect to Thailand, Fak was unnecessary since he was basically Bruce with a tweaked moveset. Eddy's story is still unresolved, especially since Kaz is responsible for framing HIM for his parents' deaths. I don't kow why the hell they insist on giving Panda her own slot when basically she's just Kuma (who can stay I suppose). I respect Bamco and Harada for generating buzz with newbies FOR the newbies, but I think giving the audience closure on all the previous characters would've greatly benefited the storyline. Plus...half of the OGs' styles were a hunnid times better (the newbies in T7 didn't do it for me). But fuck it. It's all speculation and publicity. It's gon' be what it's gon be.
It's real. Anyway, points I had about comments you made: • Shaheen's beef is with Kazuya. The issue with this is that Leo already has this story and was told better in Tekken 6. Leo was popular in Tekken 6 but Tekken 7 low-key ruined everyone's story. Remember what Tekken 7 did to Eddy? • Not gonna judge new characters until they show up. There's no telling if they'll be cool or not. Azucena's fighting style looks dope. Steve and Dragunov were instant hits when they were added. • If we go off story, most characters in Tekken don't belong. It isn't just Feng. What plot relevance does Marduk, Julia, or Bob have? • No one likes story characters that can't be played that aren't boss fights. Just look at how mad MK fans were when Cyrax and Sektor weren't playable in MK11.
I’m just add the a lot games modes have to return as well it’s a must for series as whole it would Tekken game with at them Story Mode Arcade Mode Versus Mode Team Battle Mode Time Attack Mode Survival Mode Tekken Ball Mode Tekken Force Mode Theatre Mode Practice Mode I just love series as fan and player myself
@@DeeallthewayG and all this come from most gamers that are losers at heat. Like really trippin on a bitch talking about coffee and tea? But no hechi no Bruce, and already talking about dlc. Lame af really
Lets just face it most of the characters that are in base roster nobody would pay for as DLC. Shaheen, Leo, feng, Nina, Panda those DLcs wouldnt sell as much versus Characters like Eddy, Lei, Anna, Julia, AK, Kunimitsu, Lidia, Murdak and so on. Its all about greed and money and Bumco knows damn well what they are doing. Keeping popular characters behind a paywall because they know people want them. Its really sad honestly, in all honesty ive lost all kinds of hype for Tekken 8 just based on this bum ass roster. I cant, i get so heated on this topic. I mean im still gonna buy it and Play Lili but everyone plays that bitch and im not about being a follower.
I was playin Master Raven..... i don't understand why they can't put Raven and Master Raven in the same game, they can change their moves easily. I mean, when i see Kimberly and Guy, they are not the same ! And why they always reject Eddy, Bruce and Lei for a base roster. Its not like the Tekken story is really deep so, Namco are very hard to understand 😂
Everyone keeps saying that it’s a cash tactic for us to buy the characters for DLC. But I want Eddy in now, he’s a legacy character we shouldn’t have to wait for a Character like him.
Not even Yoshimitsu Julia Angel Bruce Marduk Wang Jin Rei Alex nor Lee are on the roster. Honestly this roster is pretty half assed without the inclusion of staple characters that should be there to begin with! Idk what's on Namco's mind of them letting this be their base roster, cuz it basically this is alienating their hardcore fanbase and competitive players. It really seems that they want ppl to cough up bread for core legacy characters that should be in the game in first place! Harada and Michael Murray doesn't seem to have the fans interest at heart they're doing this to follow a trend and earn themselves more cash than they already have. I seriously hope they hope they come to their senses and realize that THIS is something unwanted by the fans And on top of that I hope that they add a defensive mechanic to balance off with the heat system. It does have potential but further refinement and addition are needed to make it a better game.
@DeeallthewayG the leak is real because i saw the leak 3 week maybe raven and new character that has been released it became true but not believe yet but one thing I want to see if Steve fox release in tekken 8 then it's 100% true but if the character especially one character release in tekken 8 is not on the roster that has been leak then the leak is 100% or 50% not true.
I just think there’s going to more character reveals on top of what is shown. It may be real but it could possibly be an unfinished format, for example where’s the room DLC characters it looks bunched up, I’m hope for a newer format showing the roster.
@DeeallthewayG Yeah my dude also whoever leaks the roster is a dirty scumbag unit now we don't know who is the unknown people who leak it the same thing goes to street fighter 6
@@DeeallthewayG Boooo, how am I gonna mine as much salt? The new chick looks like she's got a similar gimmick, but I can't believe they'd just not have Lucky Chloe in the new game, she's like Top 10-15 most popular characters in 7? Tekken 8 really is just more Tekken. Street Fighter literally re-invented what a fighting game package can be, MK1 at least introduced a tag mechanic and some other stuff. Tekken 8 literally just "new package same as the told package, D...maybe we change the color of the cap to blue, and spike it with some procaine, but heroin going to stay heroin, D."
Feng has story, the team just doesn't utilize it properly, we have his involvement with Asuka, Lei, Law, and even Heihachi, arguably more story potential than Eddy, but I also want Eddy in the game, last but not least, many of you are forgetting that Feng has always been the loner/outsider Chinese guy who wants to become strongest, it has been obvious for years, and Reinas argument can be said about Lars, I think she fits perfect as a daughter than Lars, and Alisa was on an actual cinema where we can see her in 3D action not Lars so I also disagree with her only purpose being because of Lars an actual lame character imo.
@@DeeallthewayG Facts, we have Jin already, we don't need another character with the same jin persona but only lamer, it's like bandai forced him into the game, he was not needed, we had the Ravens to rep the ninjas, but I feel your passion about Eddy he belongs in Tekken before most of the current rosters.
@@Lugent25 there’s still time for namco to turn it around. Devil Jin has had his own pallet since Tekken 6, that’s absolutely ridiculous. Lars is like the American that wishes he was Japanese and tries con into the family 😂😂
@@DeeallthewayG Facts man Devil Jin is literally Jin, Tekken shows too much favoritism when it comes to abusing the authority of certain characters like the Mishima's or the dam bears, and let's hope it ain't true Shaheen is base roster but Eddy is not🙄, and as much as I like Feng he don't belong there before Eddy, the roster looks like 💩 to me.
You're right about that bro,what you said and lei wulong is my secondary main after law,i was pissed because he's not in the based roster,a tekken game without eddy and lei is not tekken imo and,but i think eddy is going to make it to the based roster noway they can leave him out this game.
The Tekken 8 base roster leak already proved to be 💯 real and true! It got me excited even more than before! I am calling it right now! Tekken 8 will be the best fighting game in this golden era when it releases! The Tekken 8 base roster will go down in history to be one of the best starting rosters in all of fighting games! Tekken 8 is 💯 ultimate hype! Tekken 8 will be legendary! I will enjoy the hell out of Tekken 8! I am 💯 happy, excited, hyped, grateful and thankful for Tekken 8! I have been a huge Tekken fan since Tekken 4! Everyone at Bandai Namco and Tekken Project including Katsuhiro Harada and Michael Murray, you guys are doing a super awesome job on developing Tekken 8! Keep up the super awesome hard work! Before I get into the characters, the 16 characters that were confirmed before the leak are Jin, Kazuya, Jun, Paul, Law, King, Lars, Xiaoyu, Jack-8, Nina, Asuka, Leroy, Lili, Hwoarang, Bryan and Claudio! All right! The characters I got back for Tekken 8! Claudio! 🥊 Steve! 🥊 Hwoarang! 🥊 New Character: Victor! 🥊 Dragunov! 🥊 And Shaheen! 🥊 That is all! TEKKEN 8 ULTIMATE HYPE 💯!
The leak was already on the Internet for a month before I posted it, so the entire Tekken world has already seen it. Hopefully two months from now the roster you see in the leak will be confirmed not to be real 💯💯
History repeats itself. The roster is going to look like MK Armageddon 4 years after its release, just like Tekken 7 when it started out with a half-assed roster. Only this time Yoshimitsu will be DLC. I could’ve bought a new car with the total amount of money I spent on Tekken 7.
You spent more money on Tekken 7 after buying the initial copy?What made you think it was worth it?Lack of content and annoying online? It wasnt even worth the initial price The old games atleast had soke stuff
Even though Yoshimitsu, Kuma, Steve, Dragunov, Leo and Shaheen were revealed, I still think that this leaked roster isn't 100% real and I hate people who are saying and pretending that it's 100% real, but it's not. Also, Panda should be a swap palette for Kuma and Devil Jin should not be in Tekken 8 as a separate playable character because Jin knows how to control the Devil-Gene now and he has some moves from his Devil-Gene self. And characters like Lidia, Kunimitsu, Anna, Lei, Bruce, Julia, Eddy, Christie, Armor King and Miguel should be in the base roster instead of DLC.
Facts, the legacy characters need to be in first. Bandai namco is the only developer that I know that have no problem hurting a character’s legacy, it’s sad Bro😔
Bandai namco EU is the worst one. Plus, I'm gonna focus on Street fighter 6 and MK1. This one I have no hype and no interest in this game already. My main Miguel is not in, your main Eddy is not in and also bob not in and even worst Anna Williams and Julia Chang too. Guess we lost this battle
I actually am truly happy about Leo's returning, really like her gameplay. But I can understand that she is not that popular of a character. I was surprised too that she returned
This yoshimitsu thing is the same shit that they did with eddys final with lucky cloe, completly ignoring the story they have to make stupid unfunny jokes.... A shame
@@DeeallthewayG Yea idk. For me at least I think He IS Because man is Voiced by a male German VA Looks like a guy Has male pecks and male customs. People just looked at his female swimsuit in Tag 2 and took that as “wow that’s a girl”, while also ignoring he has a Male Swimsuit Variant too
@@DeeallthewayG It's supposed to be Lee, I dont know, and do I see another Jin on the fucking bottom? But I can't get Armor King? 1 damn character taking 2 slots, but no Armor King Hey, I'm tired of fighting bruv. I give up, man. 🤷🏾
Eddy is a bottom 10 least played character with no story relevance either literally only see him at low ranks and then a few again at high ranks, USA is one demographic of players, Tekken is bigger in EU than North America by a significant margin, I have nothing against Eddy but he isnt owed anything. Shaheen the character you keep shitting on was top 25 most played and dropped significantly to around Leo's usage, still 10 places higher than Eddy who never moved and was never a popular pick on any metric, character usage isnt the deciding factor but you need to humble yourself Eddy aint shit, the oohs and aahs around Eddy ended with his debut in t3, after Tag 2 i didnt care if i never saw him or Christie again. Nina, Anna, Yoshi, Maven, Xiaoyu, Zafina, the Bears and Eddy all among the lowest pick rates, shit on them those are your peers. It seems you like saying 'People' as a substitute for "We" well like harada said "we" or in your case "people" is insignificant in the greater scheme of things, by data and stats more "people" think Eddy is less interesting than Shaheen and Leo, actual data over your twitter and facebook echo chamber. Lol people were bitching at Micheal and Harada for Christie a fucking Eddy Clone with Eddy in the game, bruh after that shit i wouldn't be surprised this is punishment🤣
Don't know why they choose Shaheen than other good characters like Bruce, Eddy, Anna, Miguel, Alex etc more good characters than him I don't know why harada did that
They’re trying to shove him into the story which I really don’t understand what his impact would when he’s only been there for one game. He still has that corny sliding leg throw tho.
@@DeeallthewayGwell the gamescom trailer just came out so it’s true😢. Ii don’t like capos but it’s weird not having them. I guess they’ll be dlc and anna better come back her and Paul are my mains.
@@chaoticsavior84 it’s still a lot of characters that they didn’t show so everything is still accurate with what Harada said..my reaction and thoughts video will be coming in a few hours I’ll talk more on it.
@DEE ALL THE WAY G As much as you may not like it, fam, that actually IS the official character select screen. That is actually how the select screen background looks. They are copying the DOA 5 select screen format. I agree with you about how garbage this roster is despite faves of mine 🕶🐶Leroy Smith and 🕶⚔️Raven being on it. Devil Jin shouldn't even be on the roster due to Jin's new moveset, Shaheen is a lame character and Kazuya isn't concerned about him either , Feng adds no value the story and is basically useless without Lei Wulong being on the scene, Leo has been going after Kazuya with ZERO results, Victor looks like a villain from the Time Crisis shooting game, and it is even more disappointment that 🐤🎷Bruce Irvin (KAZUYA's right hand man since TEKKEN 2) and 🛡⚔️Armor King are not on the base roster . Due to how boring Nina Williams is, the game should have a pillow customization because Nina's lack of zest will put someone to sleep. Harada and Murray could have done a lot better than this. Now Bryan and Steve are two characters I like whooping on using Bruce, Eddy, and Leroy. Anyway, let's see how this plays out. This video is hilarious by the way.😂😂😂
@@DeeallthewayG Exactly. At least Mortal Kombat 1 gave us some extent of the story while announcing characters. As much as you may not like Ed Boon, he is way better than Harada and Murray when it comes to character development.
If this the final roster, it might be THE worst starting tekken roster in history imo. NO akuma or guest???? NO JINPACHI? NO KATERINA OR devil kazumi? Ole whack ass boring ass sf6 ass roster. Tekken 7 > Tekken 8
Why tf they would put Jinpachi, Ancient Ogre & Devil Kazumi when they would killed off in their debut games?! Kazumi was such a lame character and ruined Kazuya’s storyline on how he got the Devil Gene. Originally in Tekken 1 he got it AFTER Heihachi threw him off the cliff and he made a pact with the Devil Spirit to give him enough strength to beat Heihachi in the first Iron Fist tournament in exchange for his soul. Now in Tekken 7, they retconned it that he ALWAYS had it and got it from his mother Kazumi and is merely her pawn. Such an idiotic change to the story.
I almost agree with everything except the Nina hate. And in the CNT her guns are duckable highs. I don’t care what nobody say, Nina players put in that work. We have to be creative especially at high level gameplay. Folks complain about her strings because they’re ignorant to the fact that almost every 2nd attack in Nina’s strings are duckable highs… very punishable. On the other hand, Anna’s a brain dead character and the only reason she’s more popular is due her being a more sensual version of Nina and… folks love easy mode. I do wish she was in base roster for aesthetics though but nobody uses her despite all the fake love she gets. But yes, that character selections screen is the actual character selection screen. I like it. It’s more reminiscent to the Tekken 6 character selection screen.
I didn’t know that you were a Nina main, I always thought you were a Mishima person.😂this would be a good time for them to bring back pallet swaps. Nina and Anna can easily share a pallet.
@@DeeallthewayG A Mishima main!? Don’t insult me!!! 😂😂😂 Nah mane my main is Nina, my sub main is Raven; so both my people are in. I used to use Eddy (TTT2 Bruce and Eddy) but I’m better with Nina and Raven. I’m all down for a palette swap though, make these Anna fans learn something for a change 😂😂😂 take em back to Tekken 3 Arcade with the Anna skin instead. I do hope Eddy makes it in though. I’d actually be cool even if Tiger Jackson made a comeback since his TTT2 Skin was so sick! It doesn’t feel like Tekken without Eddy or Lei. They trippin. And btw, I know Nina is a rip off Sarah Bryant design but VF abandoned Sarah’s “badassery” after VF4/Evo she’s missing her attitude intro and victory quotes and doesn’t seem like much of a threat regarding appearance anymore.
@@DeeallthewayG Well hopefully when VF6 comes out, they’ll bring their A-Game. Seiji Aoki did say they’d have to do some new voice work for the new one since a lot of the original VA’s are retired or unreachable.
Fake Love ? I've played Anna since Tekken 1 and many others have also so don't get it twisted. Shit Anna is more popular then half of the base roster. What's wrong with having an easier version of Nina. Not everyone wants to break their fingers learning Nina. You just sound like someone who is biased towards Nina
bare bones basic roster. It looks like these choices a lot of characters couldn't carry a dlc season pass. don't get me wrong some of can doing but the fanbase will go hug wild in the wrong if they see their main as dlc. basic B roster indeed. wake when they announce the season 1 dlc pass if never. this roster puts me asleep😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Anna has completely different play style than Nina, it’s like saying Lee does not deserve the spot because we have Law.

putting a character in the game for story reasons is stupid, you can put a character in a cutscene without needing to make them a playable character. Wasting resources on unpopular characters that nobody likes/plays feels bad for the devs and the players. Especially when you cut other characters to do it
I'm just glad Zafina is base roster this time. That character next to dragonuv is apparently yoshimitzu but looks more like combot 😂😂
He’s probably gonna have some type of space design this time in Tekken 8.😂😂
@@DeeallthewayGit looks like modified T3 design
@@vichy97th yes it looks very similar, I wish it wasn’t blurry I would know for sure.
I like Nina she is one of my favorites they hate her cause they don’t know how to deal with her is all
I takes Nina apart😂😂
Lmfao no 🧢 I honestly forgot about Shaheen lmfaooooo
Lol my point exactly 💯
Wait i thought we were passed the devil jin phase to begin with is this supposed to be a reboot of the story?
That’s what I thought as well, I hope this Devil Jin thing is fake, Devil Jin being playable would completely be trite considering Jin has most of his moves.
I think kazuya sister is going to have that revenge trope that oh kazuya killed my father so am gonna him to avenge heihachi type shit
Yeah, it’s the only obvious thing that I can think of that they would go that route. Which I feel it’s too late in the story for that.
Leo is ect, ect, ect. I understand why you don't wanna talk about it, cuz alot of unedge people gonna jump on yo ass lol
That’s why Leo shouldn’t even be in the game for that reason 💯💯
@@DeeallthewayG hmmm... In the Tekken 6 storyline, Leo is one of the victims of death of His/her mother. And in Tekkentag2, his/her mother was revealed(Emma Kliesen) who took care of young Steve Fox. It was just a basic mystery story mode for Leo. I hate how in Tekken 7 story mode it's simply just some sh*t scene. It sucks but I kinda like Leo just for his playstyle and detail. Anyways no salt man I just saying. But other than that I do agree that the base roster is shit.
Hello Demetrius Fingers crossed for Bruce Irvin to return in Tekken 8 to be DLC just like Raven was in The Base Roster
Yes bro, fingers Crossed. They’re still silent which is somewhat scary but no hope is gone.
@@DeeallthewayG also Fingers Crossed for Fei Long to return in Street Fighter 6 as DLC
Bro whats your predictions on the 4 season pass characters?
Zafina is on the upper left between Raven and Paul
That’s crazy, she looks completely different. Eddy’s bae is in the roster but not him 🤦🏾♂️
@@DeeallthewayG i immediately reckognized her even with the hoodie. I like her way more than Eddy tbh
I believe Shaheen was sent to go after Kaz. He even fought him in the last one. His leaders believing Kaz to be a world threat or something like that.
Shaheen is still uninteresting.
@DeeallthewayG to each there own. I'm gonna play him still lol. He looks a hell of a lot more interesting than Lucky Chloe tho lol.
@@eddrickdarealtenno8659 lucky chloe 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮😂😂
I say we boycott tekken 8 because of this half ass roster.
Lol, to some the boycott has already started💯
3 of arslans mains are not in t8
Yeah, but Zafina is rumored to be. Also too, Arslan ash is a low key Steve player. So he may use Steve in Tekken 8.
Why waste a roster spot for panda. Just make that an alt costume for kuma
That’s what the pallet switch practically is.
Meanwhile I'm a Lei main, and will have to wait and pay extra to play him. Again. If he even comes back. Because it seems he's too hard to play for this new generation and too "gimmicky" for the old mishima elitists, so even when people say they like him, they still don't use him in the game anyway.
It's a shame how they're treating lei, two straight Tekken games and not on the base roster, I honestly don't understand namco's thinking
I'm in support of zafina being in base roster only because I don't want to buy her again.
I’m all for Zafina being in the base roster. They need to put her bae in the game, Eddy has to be in it that’s Zafina’s boo💯💯😁😁
@@DeeallthewayGeddy can't wait for that 🫣
we can have a discussion about all the things that you said, BUT THAT FENG'S ANIMATIONS POINT THAT YOU MADE, that's the most uninformed information that you ever made my man, FENG IS THE BEST ANIMATED FIGHTING GAME CHARACTER IN THE HISTORY OF FIGHTING GAMES, every hit has soo much impact, and has proper startup forms and readable poses, JIN KAZAMA used to be cool in tekken 7 but they took away his karate stuff and filled it with anime nonsense in tekken 8.
Super awesome video, Demetrius. While it is unfortunate that the Tekken 8 base roster got leaked and it sucks that happened. However, this base roster leak got me even more hyped for Tekken 8. Say what you will about Shaheen, but I was one of the individuals who liked Shaheen. Even Tekken pro player, LowHigh won Tekken 7 with Shaheen at EVO, back in 2018. Finally, unlike Tekken 7 where it had 8 newcomers at launch for consoles, Tekken 8 will have 3 newcomers in the base roster at launch and it shows, quality over quantity. Keep up the awesome content 😎👍🏼
Thank you bro, I really appreciate it 💯💯
DON'T YOU HATE ON MY GIRL ASUKA!!!
Jokes aside (kinda) I do think they could've just rolled with bringing back the OGs like Bruce, Lei, Eddy, and so on. Characters that, as you say, could've better slid into the roster from a NARRATIVE standpoint. Bruce could've went back and sided with Kazuya again since they're friends, posing a bit of a threat to certain opponents (hell even against Raven)- all due respect to Thailand, Fak was unnecessary since he was basically Bruce with a tweaked moveset. Eddy's story is still unresolved, especially since Kaz is responsible for framing HIM for his parents' deaths. I don't kow why the hell they insist on giving Panda her own slot when basically she's just Kuma (who can stay I suppose). I respect Bamco and Harada for generating buzz with newbies FOR the newbies, but I think giving the audience closure on all the previous characters would've greatly benefited the storyline. Plus...half of the OGs' styles were a hunnid times better (the newbies in T7 didn't do it for me).
But fuck it. It's all speculation and publicity. It's gon' be what it's gon be.
It's real.
Anyway, points I had about comments you made:
• Shaheen's beef is with Kazuya. The issue with this is that Leo already has this story and was told better in Tekken 6. Leo was popular in Tekken 6 but Tekken 7 low-key ruined everyone's story. Remember what Tekken 7 did to Eddy?
• Not gonna judge new characters until they show up. There's no telling if they'll be cool or not. Azucena's fighting style looks dope. Steve and Dragunov were instant hits when they were added.
• If we go off story, most characters in Tekken don't belong. It isn't just Feng. What plot relevance does Marduk, Julia, or Bob have?
• No one likes story characters that can't be played that aren't boss fights. Just look at how mad MK fans were when Cyrax and Sektor weren't playable in MK11.
Just wondering who would you put in base roster for tekken 8?
You just have me an idea bro, I’ll make a video explaining that.
@DeeallthewayG let me drop the subscription. I can't wait to see it
@@Channel1Mind thank you so much bro, I really appreciate it. I will have the video out as soon as possible 💯💯
The character select screen is the same as the closed beta test, what exactly is the issue here.....
No it’s not💯
I’m just add the a lot games modes have to return as well it’s a must for series as whole it would Tekken game with at them
Story Mode
Arcade Mode
Versus Mode
Team Battle Mode
Time Attack Mode
Survival Mode
Tekken Ball Mode
Tekken Force Mode
Theatre Mode
Practice Mode
I just love series as fan and player myself
Hopefully they bring the scenario campaign mode, that was a classic story mode.
Feng its too badass for not to be in the base rooster
F**k Feng, the character literally terrorized the entire community with his cheap, carrying kenpo BS!!
Well, at least Tekken 8 is revealed now. Let's just appreciate that it has evolved even though it's suck or Cool.
tf wheres ma boy Lee ???da fak with this roster man
This roster is terrible, this is bad PR on the part of Harada and development team💯
I like Feng, but is true he has no story
Yes horrible roster…took away way too many cool people for bs
Facts💯💯
@@DeeallthewayG and all this come from most gamers that are losers at heat.
Like really trippin on a bitch talking about coffee and tea?
But no hechi no Bruce, and already talking about dlc.
Lame af really
I like the roster
Sorry, but I don’t it feels like a PlayStation 2 roster😂😂💯💯
@@DeeallthewayGthat isn’t necessarily a bad thing
Why because all your mains are in it, riggghhhttt
@@StramSaturdayDBDBDIBno, because I like legacy shit
Inb4 Eddy is gonna be a pre order bonus 😅😅
That’ll be something if it happens, I wouldn’t know what to think😂
Lets just face it most of the characters that are in base roster nobody would pay for as DLC. Shaheen, Leo, feng, Nina, Panda those DLcs wouldnt sell as much versus Characters like Eddy, Lei, Anna, Julia, AK, Kunimitsu, Lidia, Murdak and so on. Its all about greed and money and Bumco knows damn well what they are doing. Keeping popular characters behind a paywall because they know people want them. Its really sad honestly, in all honesty ive lost all kinds of hype for Tekken 8 just based on this bum ass roster. I cant, i get so heated on this topic. I mean im still gonna buy it and Play Lili but everyone plays that bitch and im not about being a follower.
Nina trailer was lame
Yeah, it was a sleep I did a video on it and it was just a sleeper of a trailer.
Atleast she looks good damn
I was playin Master Raven..... i don't understand why they can't put Raven and Master Raven in the same game, they can change their moves easily. I mean, when i see Kimberly and Guy, they are not the same ! And why they always reject Eddy, Bruce and Lei for a base roster. Its not like the Tekken story is really deep so, Namco are very hard to understand 😂
Everyone keeps saying that it’s a cash tactic for us to buy the characters for DLC. But I want Eddy in now, he’s a legacy character we shouldn’t have to wait for a Character like him.
@@DeeallthewayG i don't know... Before i was playin SF and Tekken, but when i see the T8 roster, i will play only SF6. Sorry Namco 🤣
@@ippo9563 I honestly don’t know what namco is thinking. But they better change it fast💯
@@DeeallthewayG i think they even don't know what they doin. What are they thinking to put Shaheen for base roster ?!
Not even Yoshimitsu Julia Angel Bruce Marduk Wang Jin Rei Alex nor Lee are on the roster.
Honestly this roster is pretty half assed without the inclusion of staple characters that should be there to begin with!
Idk what's on Namco's mind of them letting this be their base roster, cuz it basically this is alienating their hardcore fanbase and competitive players. It really seems that they want ppl to cough up bread for core legacy characters that should be in the game in first place!
Harada and Michael Murray doesn't seem to have the fans interest at heart they're doing this to follow a trend and earn themselves more cash than they already have.
I seriously hope they hope they come to their senses and realize that THIS is something unwanted by the fans
And on top of that I hope that they add a defensive mechanic to balance off with the heat system. It does have potential but further refinement and addition are needed to make it a better game.
@DeeallthewayG the leak is real because i saw the leak 3 week maybe raven and new character that has been released it became true but not believe yet but one thing I want to see if Steve fox release in tekken 8 then it's 100% true but if the character especially one character release in tekken 8 is not on the roster that has been leak then the leak is 100% or 50% not true.
I just think there’s going to more character reveals on top of what is shown. It may be real but it could possibly be an unfinished format, for example where’s the room DLC characters it looks bunched up, I’m hope for a newer format showing the roster.
@DeeallthewayG Yeah my dude also whoever leaks the roster is a dirty scumbag unit now we don't know who is the unknown people who leak it the same thing goes to street fighter 6
dude shaheen sells oil i guess the mishima zaibatsu wanna partner with him selling oil 🤣
Shaheen looks like a Taliban leader😂😂, maybe Kazuya wanted to make a deal with him and take over the org😂😂
Where is Lucky Chloe?
She was left out, much like half of the roster.
@@DeeallthewayG Boooo, how am I gonna mine as much salt? The new chick looks like she's got a similar gimmick, but I can't believe they'd just not have Lucky Chloe in the new game, she's like Top 10-15 most popular characters in 7?
Tekken 8 really is just more Tekken. Street Fighter literally re-invented what a fighting game package can be, MK1 at least introduced a tag mechanic and some other stuff.
Tekken 8 literally just "new package same as the told package, D...maybe we change the color of the cap to blue, and spike it with some procaine, but heroin going to stay heroin, D."
Feng has story, the team just doesn't utilize it properly, we have his involvement with Asuka, Lei, Law, and even Heihachi, arguably more story potential than Eddy, but I also want Eddy in the game, last but not least, many of you are forgetting that Feng has always been the loner/outsider Chinese guy who wants to become strongest, it has been obvious for years, and Reinas argument can be said about Lars, I think she fits perfect as a daughter than Lars, and Alisa was on an actual cinema where we can see her in 3D action not Lars so I also disagree with her only purpose being because of Lars an actual lame character imo.
Lars is a fake Mishima to me💯
@@DeeallthewayG Facts, we have Jin already, we don't need another character with the same jin persona but only lamer, it's like bandai forced him into the game, he was not needed, we had the Ravens to rep the ninjas, but I feel your passion about Eddy he belongs in Tekken before most of the current rosters.
@@Lugent25 there’s still time for namco to turn it around. Devil Jin has had his own pallet since Tekken 6, that’s absolutely ridiculous. Lars is like the American that wishes he was Japanese and tries con into the family 😂😂
@@DeeallthewayG Facts man Devil Jin is literally Jin, Tekken shows too much favoritism when it comes to abusing the authority of certain characters like the Mishima's or the dam bears, and let's hope it ain't true Shaheen is base roster but Eddy is not🙄, and as much as I like Feng he don't belong there before Eddy, the roster looks like 💩 to me.
You're right about that bro,what you said and lei wulong is my secondary main after law,i was pissed because he's not in the based roster,a tekken game without eddy and lei is not tekken imo and,but i think eddy is going to make it to the based roster noway they can leave him out this game.
They better put him in, that’s gonna be a big revenue drop💯💯
Finally, someone who gets it. I don't understand how other content creators keep harping on about usage statistics like those matter
Facts bro, those stats are never trustworthy. It’s player manipulation in my opinion.
I said this when Nina was announced, The Gun shit is 10000% Unnecessary
Facts, that’s just the wrong direction to go. I’m okay with Law using nunchucks or Leroy using his cane. But that gun stuff is utter BS.💯
my boy steb is there
Do you mean Steve?
The Tekken 8 base roster leak already proved to be 💯 real and true! It got me excited even more than before! I am calling it right now! Tekken 8 will be the best fighting game in this golden era when it releases! The Tekken 8 base roster will go down in history to be one of the best starting rosters in all of fighting games!
Tekken 8 is 💯 ultimate hype! Tekken 8 will be legendary! I will enjoy the hell out of Tekken 8! I am 💯 happy, excited, hyped, grateful and thankful for Tekken 8! I have been a huge Tekken fan since Tekken 4! Everyone at Bandai Namco and Tekken Project including Katsuhiro Harada and Michael Murray, you guys are doing a super awesome job on developing Tekken 8! Keep up the super awesome hard work!
Before I get into the characters, the 16 characters that were confirmed before the leak are Jin, Kazuya, Jun, Paul, Law, King, Lars, Xiaoyu, Jack-8, Nina, Asuka, Leroy, Lili, Hwoarang, Bryan and Claudio! All right! The characters I got back for Tekken 8! Claudio! 🥊 Steve! 🥊 Hwoarang! 🥊 New Character: Victor! 🥊 Dragunov! 🥊 And Shaheen! 🥊
That is all! TEKKEN 8 ULTIMATE HYPE 💯!
Dude dont put the leak in the thumbnail at least
The leak was already on the Internet for a month before I posted it, so the entire Tekken world has already seen it. Hopefully two months from now the roster you see in the leak will be confirmed not to be real 💯💯
The select character screen is kind of gross and the select character theme.
This is how the character select theme song sounds like this "oH oH oH oH oH"
Yeah, it looks lazy and rushed. I don’t believe this is the finished format.
😂😂😂😂💯💯
@@DeeallthewayG I never knew that Leo has a blue hair how the heck he has a blue hair.
Get out of here talking smack about Nina. At least Nina has depth.
Nina is whack, she’s whack whack whack whack whack🤣🤣🤣🔥
History repeats itself. The roster is going to look like MK Armageddon 4 years after its release, just like Tekken 7 when it started out with a half-assed roster. Only this time Yoshimitsu will be DLC. I could’ve bought a new car with the total amount of money I spent on Tekken 7.
You spent more money on Tekken 7 after buying the initial copy?What made you think it was worth it?Lack of content and annoying online?
It wasnt even worth the initial price
The old games atleast had soke stuff
That's why I only bought Leroy and that was it 💯
Tekken tag 2 had the best roster.
I think Tekken 5 did imo💯
Even though Yoshimitsu, Kuma, Steve, Dragunov, Leo and Shaheen were revealed, I still think that this leaked roster isn't 100% real and I hate people who are saying and pretending that it's 100% real, but it's not. Also, Panda should be a swap palette for Kuma and Devil Jin should not be in Tekken 8 as a separate playable character because Jin knows how to control the Devil-Gene now and he has some moves from his Devil-Gene self. And characters like Lidia, Kunimitsu, Anna, Lei, Bruce, Julia, Eddy, Christie, Armor King and Miguel should be in the base roster instead of DLC.
Facts, the legacy characters need to be in first. Bandai namco is the only developer that I know that have no problem hurting a character’s legacy, it’s sad
Bro😔
Bandai namco EU is the worst one. Plus, I'm gonna focus on Street fighter 6 and MK1. This one I have no hype and no interest in this game already. My main Miguel is not in, your main Eddy is not in and also bob not in and even worst Anna Williams and Julia Chang too. Guess we lost this battle
It is a shame, but these next will tell it all and determine a lot of decisions.
@@DeeallthewayG yeah agree with you man
I actually am truly happy about Leo's returning, really like her gameplay. But I can understand that she is not that popular of a character. I was surprised too that she returned
Leo is gonna go after the Yoshimitsu the squid again😂😂
This yoshimitsu thing is the same shit that they did with eddys final with lucky cloe, completly ignoring the story they have to make stupid unfunny jokes.... A shame
Im 100% percent sure, that Leo is a boy bro

Panda though?Why is she in the game?
Down Syndrome Jack
Explain?
The face
Eddy is a bottom 10 least played character with no story relevance either literally only see him at low ranks and then a few again at high ranks, USA is one demographic of players, Tekken is bigger in EU than North America by a significant margin, I have nothing against Eddy but he isnt owed anything. Shaheen the character you keep shitting on was top 25 most played and dropped significantly to around Leo's usage, still 10 places higher than Eddy who never moved and was never a popular pick on any metric, character usage isnt the deciding factor but you need to humble yourself Eddy aint shit, the oohs and aahs around Eddy ended with his debut in t3, after Tag 2 i didnt care if i never saw him or Christie again. Nina, Anna, Yoshi, Maven, Xiaoyu, Zafina, the Bears and Eddy all among the lowest pick rates, shit on them those are your peers. It seems you like saying 'People' as a substitute for "We" well like harada said "we" or in your case "people" is insignificant in the greater scheme of things, by data and stats more "people" think Eddy is less interesting than Shaheen and Leo, actual data over your twitter and facebook echo chamber. Lol people were bitching at Micheal and Harada for Christie a fucking Eddy Clone with Eddy in the game, bruh after that shit i wouldn't be surprised this is punishment🤣
I won't be buying the game at all
I kinda feel that way also, Bandai namco has let us down with this mess.
Come we shall play street fighter 6 and MK1
Every character from Tekken 6 should be in Tekken 8

Don't know why they choose Shaheen than other good characters like Bruce, Eddy, Anna, Miguel, Alex etc more good characters than him I don't know why harada did that
They’re trying to shove him into the story which I really don’t understand what his impact would when he’s only been there for one game. He still has that corny sliding leg throw tho.

@DEE ALL THE WAY G As much as you may not like it, fam, that actually IS the official character select screen. That is actually how the select screen background looks. They are copying the DOA 5 select screen format. I agree with you about how garbage this roster is despite faves of mine 🕶🐶Leroy Smith and 🕶⚔️Raven being on it. Devil Jin shouldn't even be on the roster due to Jin's new moveset, Shaheen is a lame character and Kazuya isn't concerned about him either , Feng adds no value the story and is basically useless without Lei Wulong being on the scene, Leo has been going after Kazuya with ZERO results, Victor looks like a villain from the Time Crisis shooting game, and it is even more disappointment that 🐤🎷Bruce Irvin (KAZUYA's right hand man since TEKKEN 2) and 🛡⚔️Armor King are not on the base roster . Due to how boring Nina Williams is, the game should have a pillow customization because Nina's lack of zest will put someone to sleep. Harada and Murray could have done a lot better than this. Now Bryan and Steve are two characters I like whooping on using Bruce, Eddy, and Leroy. Anyway, let's see how this plays out. This video is hilarious by the way.😂😂😂
I still can’t believe the turn of events that’s happening. I hope they change this mess, this roster is unappealing.
@@DeeallthewayG I agree. It lacks the wow factor that the TEKKEN 5 Dark Resurrection roster had.
@@SynClaiRWestAnd still there’s still no story content yet.
@@DeeallthewayG Exactly. At least Mortal Kombat 1 gave us some extent of the story while announcing characters. As much as you may not like Ed Boon, he is way better than Harada and Murray when it comes to character development.
I don't like roster at all its bullshit hope this not final roster when game comes out
This roster has no excitement to it at all, when SF6 got leaked it was exciting asf. This is a dead roster.
Horrible… -.-
If this the final roster, it might be THE worst starting tekken roster in history imo. NO akuma or guest???? NO JINPACHI? NO KATERINA OR devil kazumi? Ole whack ass boring ass sf6 ass roster. Tekken 7 > Tekken 8
I definitely agree, even though there has been more story leaks I honestly don’t think anyone cares about that aspect at this point.
You literally said no one the fanbase likes overall. 😂
Why tf they would put Jinpachi, Ancient Ogre & Devil Kazumi when they would killed off in their debut games?! Kazumi was such a lame character and ruined Kazuya’s storyline on how he got the Devil Gene. Originally in Tekken 1 he got it AFTER Heihachi threw him off the cliff and he made a pact with the Devil Spirit to give him enough strength to beat Heihachi in the first Iron Fist tournament in exchange for his soul. Now in Tekken 7, they retconned it that he ALWAYS had it and got it from his mother Kazumi and is merely her pawn. Such an idiotic change to the story.
@@Theterminato2013 that’s namco for ya💯
I almost agree with everything except the Nina hate. And in the CNT her guns are duckable highs.
I don’t care what nobody say, Nina players put in that work. We have to be creative especially at high level gameplay. Folks complain about her strings because they’re ignorant to the fact that almost every 2nd attack in Nina’s strings are duckable highs… very punishable.
On the other hand, Anna’s a brain dead character and the only reason she’s more popular is due her being a more sensual version of Nina and… folks love easy mode. I do wish she was in base roster for aesthetics though but nobody uses her despite all the fake love she gets.
But yes, that character selections screen is the actual character selection screen. I like it. It’s more reminiscent to the Tekken 6 character selection screen.
I didn’t know that you were a Nina main, I always thought you were a Mishima person.😂this would be a good time for them to bring back pallet swaps. Nina and Anna can easily share a pallet.
@@DeeallthewayG A Mishima main!? Don’t insult me!!! 😂😂😂 Nah mane my main is Nina, my sub main is Raven; so both my people are in. I used to use Eddy (TTT2 Bruce and Eddy) but I’m better with Nina and Raven.
I’m all down for a palette swap though, make these Anna fans learn something for a change 😂😂😂 take em back to Tekken 3 Arcade with the Anna skin instead.
I do hope Eddy makes it in though. I’d actually be cool even if Tiger Jackson made a comeback since his TTT2 Skin was so sick! It doesn’t feel like Tekken without Eddy or Lei. They trippin.
And btw, I know Nina is a rip off Sarah Bryant design but VF abandoned Sarah’s “badassery” after VF4/Evo she’s missing her attitude intro and victory quotes and doesn’t seem like much of a threat regarding appearance anymore.
@@BCDC123 that’s what happens when the creator leaves. Yu Suzuki left after VF4 evo and a lot of stuff in VF has been changed unfortunately.
@@DeeallthewayG Well hopefully when VF6 comes out, they’ll bring their A-Game. Seiji Aoki did say they’d have to do some new voice work for the new one since a lot of the original VA’s are retired or unreachable.
Fake Love ? I've played Anna since Tekken 1 and many others have also so don't get it twisted. Shit Anna is more popular then half of the base roster. What's wrong with having an easier version of Nina. Not everyone wants to break their fingers learning Nina. You just sound like someone who is biased towards Nina
bare bones basic roster. It looks like these choices a lot of characters couldn't carry a dlc season pass. don't get me wrong some of can doing but the fanbase will go hug wild in the wrong if they see their main as dlc. basic B roster indeed. wake when they announce the season 1 dlc pass if never. this roster puts me asleep😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
Is the right side character Lars is Devil Jin ?
Yes, it’s Devil Jin . But I’m hoping that it’s not true since Jin has all of Devil Jin’s initial moves.
