- Anna & AKing have the biggest fan bases from the missing characters. They will probably make them season 2 to boost the hype after 2 years. - They will never repeat same guests characters. - Lei, Julia, Miguel, Eddy, Lidia & Kuni also have big fan bases and I can see them coming back earlier. - Bob is not liked but I can also see him come back as first DLC because he plays different. - Marduk is only liked because of his gameplay but not as a character but still has chances. - Kazumi, Josie, Kat, Gan & Gigas have no hope. - Heihachi is dead but still has chance to come back much later. - Lucky Chloe might also make it - Bruce will make it this time because Fahk was made as a response from Harada to fans asking for a muscular character but was not serious. Josie moves was given to the new character.
Bro I freaking love bob and Marduk lol And they are well liked. I seen quite a bit of custom bobs online. And the ones that hate on Marduk are just the loud minority. His backstory is pretty neat too. He’s like akin to a story of a troubled mma/wrestler. he’s not just liked for his gameplay.
I would say ganryu does have a chance too because those that do play him love the character. He’s my 2nd main. Some of the Best sumo gameplay in fighting games. Harada also likes him so there’s that
I’d also normally agree on that Chloe take even tho I hate the character but it’s not a good idea to bring her back b/c she’s probably the most hated characters that the tekken community hates the most
I agree that Josie's personality was annoying, but her look and fighting style were great. She was my 3rd character. I wish there was a team battle mode in Tekken 7 so I could play her more. Sadly she kinda didn't see that much use from me because Asuka and Eliza exist. ...I'm glad at least one of my top 3 made it into Tekken 8.
It was super sad for me how annoying her personality was. I truly wanted to main her, but I just couldn't endure her crying for no reason every match. Beautiful model, interesting gameplay, AWFUL CHARACTER!
The question is why such a waste by creating a great character like Lidia, with a good design, real shotokan karate moveset, very late in the game, and not include her in the base roster...??? Why listening to whining people that made nerf her that hard that so few people played har after... Was it to drop her usage ? 🤔 Totally impossible to understand as we still have some joke characters like the 2 bears that are still there just by principle and will as always be drop few weeks after T8 release...Just annoying.
Idk I grew to Love Kat recently, I agree without Tournaments she'd not be refreshed for us loyals because somehow Tekken keeps forgetting Lei, I have no idea whhhyyyyy😭. Josie was fun but adding Fak was kind of a gentle gesture from Namco that they were sorry for adding her and they'd go back to tough version of the fighting style. But I sort of agree with all the points you made, they might just mash them into some game mode or something in the near future
I would like to point out on what you said about Noctis's argument on why in your opinion you think Noctis won't return back in T8's DLC: Just because Nether Realm hasn't brought back characters like Jason, Alien, Predator, etc. in the next Mortal Kombat Sequels, that doesn't mean that Bandai Namco should do the same as well. Keep also in mind that the Guest Characters in MK are also heavily focused towards Movies/T.V. shows, which is WAY more harder to re-license them back in the next game, wheras let's say a Video Game Guest Character like Noctis, is way more easier to bring back. Plus, just like you mentioned, Noctis is already very popular towards the Tekken community, despite people hating on the repeated string move that he can easily do towards his opponents.. Hell, even Bandai Namco THEMSELVES have already acknowledged his popularity, to the point where they even created two extra clones similar to Noctis (Kunimitsu, and Victor). Also, Victor barely has any moves from Noctis, and instead is alot more closer towards Kunimitsu and Raven if anything. I understand that the licensing fees are a thing towards companies like Square Enix and AMC, but if you're gonna go on the route of "Guest Characters don't return", look at Super Smash Bros and even Dead or Alive then. They were able to being THEIR Guest Characters returned in the next sequel, so why can't BN do the same exact thing towards characters like Noctis for example? And money isn't even an issue when they want to re-purchase Noctis again towards DLC, since not only they have enough money BECAUSE of T7's success alone, but they're able to develop enough time making resources, re-making the character over from scratch again, and just pretty much porting his moveset over to the next game. Same goes with characters like Negan, Geese, and Akuma. Let's also keep in mind that there aren't even much legacy characters left that they would really need to be added in T8's DLC, unlike in Mortal Kombat, which is another reason why they handled Guest Characters differently compared to other fighting games. And considering that we'll be getting like 24-32 DLC fighters added in to T8's Base roster, that should be good enough to have all the T7 Guest Characters come back, with the possibility of even adding in the T8 Guest Characters (only Tekken Originals left that they can truly have them returned, are Armor King, Anna, Eddy, Julia, Marduk, Miguel, Bob, Eliza, Fakhumram, Kunimitsu 2, and Lidia). That's only 11 Tekken Originals (15 if you want to count the T7 Guests) that are really just missing in the Tekken Roster, so im very sure that they should be returned, as long as Harada is willingly wants to, given that like you said, he even wants certain Guest Characters to be permanently part of the Tekken Roster going forward.
I get where you're coming from and I don't deny the possibility of Noctis returning. But I just don't see it. If they were to make a new contract with Squarenix in DLC then it would be for a character from a more recent Final Fantasy game. It just makes sense from a marketing point of view. Unless there is a new Final Fantasy game with Noctis in it I don't see it happening My opinion of course
while i do like bruce as a muai thai fighter as he uses clinches.....the simplicity of fak is what makes him interesting....as for josie....i agree....if they bring her back....they better make her more....matured behavior instead...oh no...whaaaaahhh type
I’m saddened we might not see master raven again. But they can always give her a new moveset. but I’m super glad the chances of Chloe, Josie, kat, fahk are slim. They’re whack characters anyway
Anna Williams needs to come back. PERIOD
Yeah she has unfinished business with Nina
- Anna & AKing have the biggest fan bases from the missing characters. They will probably make them season 2 to boost the hype after 2 years.
- They will never repeat same guests characters.
- Lei, Julia, Miguel, Eddy, Lidia & Kuni also have big fan bases and I can see them coming back earlier.
- Bob is not liked but I can also see him come back as first DLC because he plays different.
- Marduk is only liked because of his gameplay but not as a character but still has chances.
- Kazumi, Josie, Kat, Gan & Gigas have no hope.
- Heihachi is dead but still has chance to come back much later.
- Lucky Chloe might also make it
- Bruce will make it this time because Fahk was made as a response from Harada to fans asking for a muscular character but was not serious. Josie moves was given to the new character.
Wow
Well said bro
Can't argue with most of these takes
I like bob ☹️
Bro I freaking love bob and Marduk lol

I love Katarina and how she was beginner friendly to use imo, i would love for her to come back.
I wouldn't complain if she came back
@@GamerNemy Me neither, it’d be dope as hell
I’m upset Fahkumram is not in TK8 and Lydia as well ☹️
Lei Wulong 🐍🐅🦢🐆🐉 NEEDS TO RETURN
It’s a must

Honestly I don't understand Namco on this one either🥲
Dropping Lidia just doesn't make sense

Sorry, but Lei "jackie chan" wulong will be back.
Katarina must come back
Please no😭😭
I want Katarina back!!
🥲🥲

I agree Retro, people really need to stop acting like this
I get where you're coming from and I don't deny the possibility of Noctis returning.
But I just don't see it.

Lol exactly bro
I couldn't have said it any better
Kazumi was my second main. I hope she will be back.
Kazuma is pretty cool
Highly unlikely but it'll be cool to see her return
No Bruce no Buy simple
I hella miss Bruce😓
I’m saddened we might not see master raven again. But they can always give her a new moveset.
but I’m super glad the chances of Chloe, Josie, kat, fahk are slim. They’re whack characters anyway
Agreed 🤣🤣
That wasnt Lei in Tekken 7 anyway 😒
No Bob is wack.
