While Anna isn’t in Tekken 8 yet, I feel like they wasted an opportunity to use her as a major asset for the current events in the game. With Nina now working for Kazuya, she has become Kazuya’s new right-hand person. Team Jin which includes Lars etc. are trying to take down Kazuya’s forces while Jin prepares to face Kazuya. Who better knows the ins and outs of G-Corp better than Anna herself, who used to work for him back in Tekken 6, she was basically his second in command. Anna now helping out the Mishima Zaibatsu will also be a nice role reversal of Tekken 6’s dynamic whereby she’s now in Nina’s position of helping out the good guys when she used to be on the antagonist’s side last time. She also discloses in the BV movie that the Mishima Zaibatsu and G-Corp are rivals because they have the same level of influence and power, which she has seen herself and has commanded. On another note, now that Steve and Nina’s story is pretty much over, they could have used this opportunity to let her meet her nephew, she is his aunt after all. We have also seen that Anna values her family when Nina lost her memories, attempting to help her regain them back in Tekken 3. Discovering Steve as her nephew will open a new story arc for her in which she can try to be close to him seeing as he is the only other family member she has left now that Nina has severed ties with her and her son. She could see this as an opportunity to amend things with her family, not intending to make the same mistake like she did with Nina.
I like this and yes, because I’m kinda tired of the whole Anna VS Nina thing they’ve been known for (idk why Japan is so obsessed with hating your own family members… but anyways). I just want to see Anna again. Maybe they’ll finally call it a truce between the two? Idk
@@BerninaPoubelle I'd love for them to call a truce. I don't want them to fight :( But it feels like they kinda replaced their rivalry with Lili and Asuka anyway. We don't really need two of that same dynamic if there's nothing really different about it imo.
Asuka's story had a lot of potential tbh. I'm so disappointed they forgot they gave her purifying powers shown in her T5 ending. That would've tied back so well to Jun's powers.
Looks like Jin and Feng Wei will be bigger parts of Tekken 8’s story so hopefully they will bring Asuka back around as a big deal especially since she’s related to Jun.
Maybe because she still doesn't know how it works due to school, stopping gang violences and getting harassed by Lili yeah that's it have you ever thought about that? NO?
The fact the Lei had beef with both Bryan and Feng and is just… not coming back to the series in the base roster?? Like so much potential is being left on the cutting room floor, especially since Jun is finally coming back, Lei can have an interaction with her as an easter egg to the first anime movie.
I think Paul will play an under card match on Tekken 8 assuming by the trailers. Where he and Law are at the back of an explosion and Kuma is sent flying towards them while Devil Kazuya are fighting the new characters without Jin. They might follow the Panchinko route since in the Panchiko game Paul actually fought Bryan head to head. He was blasted by Bryan with an RPG and dodge it while Jin was taken down by Bryan, Paul sucker punched Bryan and said to Jin go on ahead I'll take care of this in Japanese, as Jin leaves Paul to Bryan they do that iconic Tekken 5 bro fist and depending if you win on the Panchinko slot machine Bryan will be sent flying and koed.
Wasn’t putting them in any order in particular but if I had to they’d definitely be up there. Dragunov more than Ling though. I’d probably put Zafina over Ling too.
Barely even started the video and I'm calling it. #1 is Paul. The story did Paul dirty from tekken 4 onwards. Dude canonically tied with Kazuya beat Ogre's 1st form Edit: Yeah I figured as much. Other than paul I really think Asuka biggest waste of an opporturnity as a Kazama. Her T5 ending set the stage for some potentially really cool stuff. There's also Lee. I know he gets a lot of spotlight, but I think it would be cooler for him to seek some sort of satisfaction with Kazuya. Revenge is not a correct word, but I can't find the right one. As a wild card I'll throw Kuma in there. I was so excited when I read his bio for T8, but was dissappointed when I saw his movelist
Technically the list isn’t in any particular order just people I think should have a bigger role. Sadly as I said I think Paul is least likely to get a substantial role but the new trailer does give hope that side characters will get more focus in general in 8 which is about damn time haha.
I mean what's stopping Bryan from doing what he did to Yoshimitsu in T5 to the G Corperation? They can help extend his life then he just mindlessly kills them all just because...
He killed Dr. Able and attacked Dr. Bos because they couldn’t help him. Dr. Bos fit him with the perpetual engine but it was a temporary fix. He told Bryan he didn’t completely understand the tech in his body and that’s why he attacked. Bryan doesn’t want to die as far as we know and if Jane can help him he has no reason to attack her at least not now. It’s definitely possible that relations between Bryan and G Corp would break down eventually and they’d become enemies though and that would open up more story opportunities. It’s never a bad idea to have a chaotic force in your story. All kinds of crazy shit you can do.
Because Dr B gave Bryan a unlimited power to stay life forever he has no reason to attack G Corp plus he's psychotic he doesn't care he just wants a good fight and wrecked havoc and before you say he should attack the Mishimas he has no purpose or reason to plus Mishimas travel around the world and according to Bryan attitude in TK6 prolonged he doesn't have patience
Yoshimitsu and Brian could have a story of they're own, add in Lei WuLong and you have another dope side story with Lei, trying to arrest Brian, while Yoshi's trying to kill him and get revenge for the Dr..
at least, this time everyone on the roster made an appearance in the main story. in T6 and T7, the story would revolve around only a few characters, %90 of the cast wouldnt even make any appearance. but I agree, side characters should have been given more roles
I just want Auska to actually talk and be a positive force in Jin's life. Either to hold him accountable as a butt head or help him on the road to redemption. By all means do the thing with Lili and Feng but why the heck are we hinting at her demon suppressing powers with no payoff?!
Im SOO HYPED that the story trailer FINALLY showed side characters at least being present.As a hwoarang main Im really pissed that they've ditched him.Hopefully he even gets some diaologue😂 My 2nd main is Asuka who sadly probably is getting the finger once again despite her FCKN HEALING ABILITIES
You might be wrong on that Asuka point. Both Feng Wei and Jun are in Tekken 8’s story so 2 characters with major connections to Asuka’s story. I’m not expecting she’ll play a huge role but I’d be surprised if she didn’t at least have a cameo or a few small scenes.
Good video Been feeling this way as well More Lei Wu Long And honestly I don't even care much about or play the Mishima.s when they have so many other cool characters
miguel is one of my favourite characters with one of the best backstories and I hope he gets a time to shine eventually. it would've made so much sense in tekken 8 which was all about redeeming jin. I'm glad they didn't bring back characters like catarina, rozie, gigas, bob, master raven or lydia but damn, I don't need leo lol. instead I would've liked to see the already mentioned miguel, michelle/julia, anna williams, and my very biased pick: miharu! especially when ling gets to play a bigger role in the story going forward, throwing in her best friend would create new character dynamics.
I agree about Bryan to an extent, but, according to one of the earlier games, Bryan hates the Zaibatsu because they took Abel away from him. Also, is Bryan still dying? I got the impression that the perpetual generator was supposed to be the answer to Bryan's problem. Personally, I'd like to see a storyline where Bryan discovers that he was set up ;that he wasn't actually a dirty of, and his attempted murder was a result of that set-up. His behavior is a result of cyber Psychosis, but he begins to turn his attention to those who betrayed him.
@@วิชชากรสุขวัฒน์ I can't remember exactly what happened in her story chapter thing but I feel like she recruited Eddy as a backup dancer or something lol.
I think Having Jin,Ling,Lars,Lee,Aleesa,Reina,Hwoarang,Yoshi,Steve,Anna,Raven,Kuma and Panda,Leo and the new French guy with the forces of the rebellion and the Ziabatsu against Kaz,Nina,Feng,Coffee Girl,Dragunov,Claudio, Bryan, Against the Jacks and G Corp would be a sight to see in this game I’m really hoping this war storyline is as good as good as I hope it is I think characters like Paul King And Marshall have no real reason to get involved king maybe with the orphanage but idk
My opinion on your list: Bryan - you right i disagree with you, i don’t hate the character but there’s no progress with his story. Lei is not on the base roster (i don’t think he gonna make it as DLC), yoshimitsu is think gonna get more screen time because bosconovitch confirmed to be alive and the bob rivalry isn’t canon and bob in on the base roster (maybe gonna be DLC). Hwoarang - he’s gonna be in the story mode it’s already confirmed in one of the trailers you can see him with lars. Jin is the protagonist again and after tekken bloodline on Netflix a lot of characters from this show gonna get more screen time. Xiaoyu - it’s not confirmed that’s she gonna have more screen time but i can say for sure it’s possible, Claudio is a main character in tekken 7 story mode and it’s confirmed thats xiaoyu ending in tekken 7 is canon and Claudio hunting for devils it’s a possibility to see her in the story. Feng Wei - don’t know if he gonna get screen time but tekken 8 is gonna be the most progress feng gonna get. He got a new rivalry with leroy smith and now works with g corps. About the feng companies to akuma i think i heard about it firstly in a build the roster video on thorgi arcade video and originally i disagree with this theory but i actually think its can work but now that’s feng working with kazuya it’s can happen. Asuka - damn i think she’s lost her potential the most of every character, she’s a freaking kazama! And for 18 years she’s stuck in this pointless rivalry with lili because harada wants to copy the sakura-karin rivalry from street fighter and Japanese people are horny on minors (asuka gonna be age 18 in 8 but lili still a teenager she’s 17 in 8). It’s already confirmed that’s lili gonna make a cameo in the story mode and now lili have a new rivalry with azucena (in my opinion the better rivalry harada can give lili because people hate how she’s ruined asuka potential). Asuka and Feng rivalry can only work if asuka gonna be a main character but it’s less to happen because she’s doesn’t have a special intro with jin, devil jin or jun and she’s hate jin after the events of tekken 6. Dragonov - i disagree with you. Since his debut he only have interactions with the ravens (it’s canon), devil jin (not canon but fun fact dragonov is the only character that’s have a special rivalry cutscene with devil jin sub-boss in any version of tekken 5) and alisa (happens in tag 2 and it’s not canon). I can’t think of any character that’s can have interactions with him maybe leroy, feng, lei, bob, julia or bryan. The mishimas/kazamas is not possible currently because they too big against him. I can see him going into a rivalry with lars or lee in tekken 9 because the violet system and the rebellion tekken force members (forgot the name of the army) can go into war with him but it’s still less possible. Claudio - i think he’s gonna be in the story mode, he’s basicallythe only newcomer from tekken 7 that’s was part of the story of that game (Akuma debuted on street fighter x tekken). And he’s gonna team up with xiaoyu in the story because he’s hunting for devils and xiaoyu want to save jin. Zafina - to be honest i think she really needed to stay in tekken 6 and never comeback unless its a tag game. Her story needed to end by sacrificing herself to save the world from azazel in his chamber. I think she’s ally herself with claudio and xiaoyu in her story in tekken 8 so it’s possible. Paul - he’s in the story mode currently seen as a cameo in one scene but i hope he’s gonna be serious and not a joke character. Tekken Bloodline make him serious again after 20 years so it’s possible we gonna see him less as a joke character and a more serious in this one. Now here few characters i think need more screen time: Leo - along with asuka this character lost the most potential since debut. Tekken 7 was a opportunity to make his story continue but he’s stuck in a rivalry with yoshimitsu that’s make yoshi look really bad (almost in a level of lucky chloe vs eddy rivalry). We know kazuya kill his mother and his mother actually help steve fox so why the f they didn’t meet yet? Steve - he’s in the story mode but his story with nina ended now i think it’s time for him to meet leo.
Lei Wulong, 100%. He's a supercop hunting down the Mishimas, and despite all the factions like superpowered ninjas, capeiora secret agents, military, and even superheroes, Lei has come closest to capturing Jin. He's beaten Nina Williams, tied with Marshall Law, and beaten base Feng, a Law and Paul level feat. His former cop partner is Bryan Fury, and in one of the Tekken comics he and Yoshimitsu can go blow for blow with Bryan, one of Lei's punches being harder to react to and hitter harder than pistol bullets for Bryan. The fact that he isnt an integral part of the story, constantly unraveling the Mishima Zaibatsu corruption to share with tons of the other law enforcement factions like Eddy and Victor, is a straight up crime
13:42 I literally played the xiaoyu story chapter thing in T7 yesterday and these two were fighting so maybe they've already foreshadowed something like this 🤔😁
@@rougarabid what's communism got to do with it? I can't tell whether your response is another jokey light hearted comment like mine was intended to be, or whether you're actually annoyed that I mentioned pronunciation. My intention wasn't just to make a pointless jab, I found it funny just cause I've never heard it said that way and thought I could mention it as I respected and liked this video a lot. I wouldn't expect you to change how you say it and I wouldn't mention it again especially since you addressed it with Heihachi in a different video. Have a good day anyway 😁
I began playing TEKKEN series with T4, I was captivated by the storylines of every character in that game. Then with every new entry I got more and more disappointed of how the story just became an over the top nonsense. Production budget of T8 has skyrocketed, but I doubt the story will be in any way similar to T4's grit, from what I've seen it's going to be a Michael Bay's type of spectacle. Which is ok, a lot of people like that stuff, me too, but I've never been able to shake off T4's legacy and the potential it held for every character in the series.
@@rougarabid i mean thats how they always did it its just in 7 they decided to ignore all the side plots leaving them in the air without a concluding.
Lee wasn’t in it because he already has a major role in the games. This is about characters who need more influence in the story. Lee is pretty influential already.
@@rougarabid i know why people, especially westerners call her ling. i think many of them don't know that ling is actually her last name or find it tedious and cumbersome to pronounce xiaoyu and how many years have you been playing tekken? i'm sure you've heard the in game announcer say her name a bunch of times. what about tournament commentators? how can people take your channel seriously if you can't even say the names correctly?
@@rougarabid what's the joke? you calling her ah-sooka? is she a former padawan or something? congrats on your channel by the way. it's really blowing up
I agree with everything except for Bryan and Asuka plus Paul again these 3 doesn't add anything into the story Bryan already happy due to Dr Abel, Paul and law only after Money and encouraging forest and Steve Fox to help them out, and Asuka still just a teenager, stopping gang violences and getting harassed by Lili she to much on her plate
TBH Tekken 4 took Paul seriously too, showing that even without a tournament win he was an inspiration to others. Don't sleep on T4!

Tekken is yet to find their main female lead. 1 & 2 had Jun, 3 had Xiaoyu, 5 with Asuka, 6&7 not much care. Now we finally Reina
Finally someone puts respect on Bryan’s name. Dude’s the toughest non-Mishima and I’d argue that he’d be a pretty decent match for Lars

Really solid video 👍
Glad you enjoyed. There will be more to come.

It's both. If they only focus on the fighting game part, you get Virtua fighter and your franchise kinda dies :/
14:40 *Since Tekken 4
i agree with Bryan joining Kazuya's side... hes the Replacement for the Bodyguard Bruce
Makes Totally Sense
Hwoarang is the only person who see Jin every series except T4. He the ken in the series
My opinion on your list:
Bryan - you right i disagree with you, i don’t hate the character but there’s no progress with his story. Lei is not on the base roster (i don’t think he gonna make it as DLC), yoshimitsu is think gonna get more screen time because bosconovitch confirmed to be alive and the bob rivalry isn’t canon and bob in on the base roster (maybe gonna be DLC).
Hwoarang - he’s gonna be in the story mode it’s already confirmed in one of the trailers you can see him with lars. Jin is the protagonist again and after tekken bloodline on Netflix a lot of characters from this show gonna get more screen time.
Xiaoyu - it’s not confirmed that’s she gonna have more screen time but i can say for sure it’s possible, Claudio is a main character in tekken 7 story mode and it’s confirmed thats xiaoyu ending in tekken 7 is canon and Claudio hunting for devils it’s a possibility to see her in the story.
Feng Wei - don’t know if he gonna get screen time but tekken 8 is gonna be the most progress feng gonna get. He got a new rivalry with leroy smith and now works with g corps.
About the feng companies to akuma i think i heard about it firstly in a build the roster video on thorgi arcade video and originally i disagree with this theory but i actually think its can work but now that’s feng working with kazuya it’s can happen.
Asuka - damn i think she’s lost her potential the most of every character, she’s a freaking kazama! And for 18 years she’s stuck in this pointless rivalry with lili because harada wants to copy the sakura-karin rivalry from street fighter and Japanese people are horny on minors (asuka gonna be age 18 in 8 but lili still a teenager she’s 17 in 8). It’s already confirmed that’s lili gonna make a cameo in the story mode and now lili have a new rivalry with azucena (in my opinion the better rivalry harada can give lili because people hate how she’s ruined asuka potential).
Asuka and Feng rivalry can only work if asuka gonna be a main character but it’s less to happen because she’s doesn’t have a special intro with jin, devil jin or jun and she’s hate jin after the events of tekken 6.
Dragonov - i disagree with you. Since his debut he only have interactions with the ravens (it’s canon), devil jin (not canon but fun fact dragonov is the only character that’s have a special rivalry cutscene with devil jin sub-boss in any version of tekken 5) and alisa (happens in tag 2 and it’s not canon). I can’t think of any character that’s can have interactions with him maybe leroy, feng, lei, bob, julia or bryan. The mishimas/kazamas is not possible currently because they too big against him. I can see him going into a rivalry with lars or lee in tekken 9 because the violet system and the rebellion tekken force members (forgot the name of the army) can go into war with him but it’s still less possible.
Claudio - i think he’s gonna be in the story mode, he’s basicallythe only newcomer from tekken 7 that’s was part of the story of that game (Akuma debuted on street fighter x tekken). And he’s gonna team up with xiaoyu in the story because he’s hunting for devils and xiaoyu want to save jin.
Zafina - to be honest i think she really needed to stay in tekken 6 and never comeback unless its a tag game. Her story needed to end by sacrificing herself to save the world from azazel in his chamber.
I think she’s ally herself with claudio and xiaoyu in her story in tekken 8 so it’s possible.
Paul - he’s in the story mode currently seen as a cameo in one scene but i hope he’s gonna be serious and not a joke character.
Tekken Bloodline make him serious again after 20 years so it’s possible we gonna see him less as a joke character and a more serious in this one.
Now here few characters i think need more screen time:
Leo - along with asuka this character lost the most potential since debut. Tekken 7 was a opportunity to make his story continue but he’s stuck in a rivalry with yoshimitsu that’s make yoshi look really bad (almost in a level of lucky chloe vs eddy rivalry). We know kazuya kill his mother and his mother actually help steve fox so why the f they didn’t meet yet?
Steve - he’s in the story mode but his story with nina ended now i think it’s time for him to meet leo.
Lei Wulong, 100%. He's a supercop hunting down the Mishimas, and despite all the factions like superpowered ninjas, capeiora secret agents, military, and even superheroes, Lei has come closest to capturing Jin. He's beaten Nina Williams, tied with Marshall Law, and beaten base Feng, a Law and Paul level feat. His former cop partner is Bryan Fury, and in one of the Tekken comics he and Yoshimitsu can go blow for blow with Bryan, one of Lei's punches being harder to react to and hitter harder than pistol bullets for Bryan. The fact that he isnt an integral part of the story, constantly unraveling the Mishima Zaibatsu corruption to share with tons of the other law enforcement factions like Eddy and Victor, is a straight up crime
Yeah Akuma being in Tekken 7 could have been replaced by Feng. I agree.
Bryant would easily be Kazuya's top thug. He's got no morals and needs someone to keep him alive. Kazuya would not waste a potential asset like that.
13:42 I literally played the xiaoyu story chapter thing in T7 yesterday and these two were fighting so maybe they've already foreshadowed something like this 🤔😁
Dude just MAKING THINGS UP!?!
Well they’re ideas from my head so yeah, technically I am.
@@rougarabid WEAK!?!
@@khenmozhione4473 Nah, I lift shit.
I have more faith with Mortal Kombat when it comes to story.
really? cause that whole timeline situation is nonsense
As much as I'm loving this lore content (cause I never really got into it or new much about it before) I gotta pull you up on saying Asooka 😭😭
I pronounce 90% of words wrong…like a true American. You a commie or something?
@@rougarabid what's communism got to do with it? I can't tell whether your response is another jokey light hearted comment like mine was intended to be, or whether you're actually annoyed that I mentioned pronunciation.
My intention wasn't just to make a pointless jab, I found it funny just cause I've never heard it said that way and thought I could mention it as I respected and liked this video a lot. I wouldn't expect you to change how you say it and I wouldn't mention it again especially since you addressed it with Heihachi in a different video.
Have a good day anyway 😁
I’m never not joking.
I began playing TEKKEN series with T4, I was captivated by the storylines of every character in that game. Then with every new entry I got more and more disappointed of how the story just became an over the top nonsense. Production budget of T8 has skyrocketed, but I doubt the story will be in any way similar to T4's grit, from what I've seen it's going to be a Michael Bay's type of spectacle. Which is ok, a lot of people like that stuff, me too, but I've never been able to shake off T4's legacy and the potential it held for every character in the series.
i like it
Here you're saying that Jin is the protagonist of the series..
Negan
I kind of want to see the side plots again like the king armor king and Marduk they had something going there then it just went poof
I do too but they shouldn’t bog down the pacing of the main story mode. The side plots should be a part of arcade or some side character centric mode.
@@rougarabid i mean thats how they always did it its just in 7 they decided to ignore all the side plots leaving them in the air without a concluding.
Not mentioning Lee is insane
Lee wasn’t in it because he already has a major role in the games. This is about characters who need more influence in the story. Lee is pretty influential already.
heihachi is dead
reina's role in the story will be exterminating the devil gene
It’s a Japanese game…. So they would focus on Japan based characters. I honestly don’t see them changing that.
No one said to shift focus away from the main characters just to better use the other characters they have as well.
Street Fighter ignores the Japanese all the time. Tekken can easily do the same but this isn't about Japan, it's about the bloodlines.
i still find it weird that xiaoyu is called ling by many people
also, the way you say asuka's name is weird
And you wonder why I call her Ling 😂
@@rougarabid i know why people, especially westerners call her ling. i think many of them don't know that ling is actually her last name or find it tedious and cumbersome to pronounce xiaoyu
and how many years have you been playing tekken? i'm sure you've heard the in game announcer say her name a bunch of times. what about tournament commentators? how can people take your channel seriously if you can't even say the names correctly?
@@goodwillhumping7331 Someone didn’t get the joke.
@@rougarabid what's the joke? you calling her ah-sooka? is she a former padawan or something?
congrats on your channel by the way. it's really blowing up
Thanks. It was very unexpected 😂
Ok.
I agree with everything except for Bryan and Asuka plus Paul again these 3 doesn't add anything into the story Bryan already happy due to Dr Abel, Paul and law only after Money and encouraging forest and Steve Fox to help them out, and Asuka still just a teenager, stopping gang violences and getting harassed by Lili she to much on her plate
