Alisa, Yoshi, Anna n zafina probably. I don't have many favs but I don't dislike a single tekken character

Wang Jinrei

I’m not going to sugarcoat it!

Victor can drop that katana would be cool.

Azucena’s design and personality could be a bit better, but I think she has the most unique fighting style I’ve seen in tekken in years. Her movement and counters are a lot of fun to watch and I’m excited to see if any top players use her in tourneys

There are so many thematic swords they could have gone with. A Chevalier sword, as you said to go with his name that could have been an artifact from his ancestors. It could have been a Crusader sword for the same reasons, A Rapier for duelling if they wanted him to be quick, which clearly they did with him teleporting, A Musketeer sword, and he could also allow his two (or three) best students to carry them, It could even have been a modern french Naval officer's sword since he was in the navy.

But no, Laser katana. You'd think I'd be happy with a laser Katana, but it just doesn't fit. Especially since he trains bloody ninjas, not samurai.

or a motherfucking cane wouldve gone so much better with his design - i mean canne de combat was right there

Victor looks like a side character straight from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

1. Reina. Simple, but very effective and appealing design. Her personality is unique...there is no other female character in the series similar to her. I love her voice, btw. Her combat style is cool and very unique too. No character in FGs uses Taido, so that alone makes her original.

2. Victor. Character design is very good. I think, it'd be better without the Katana. I love his personality, I think that the VA nailed it. His combat style is a little bit overdesigned. It is very flashy, tho.

3. Azucena: Character design is okay. She being on Kazuya's side makes her more interesting, in terms of personality. You never thought that a person like her could be a little evil. Her combat style is good. I like her dancing moves lol.

IMO Reina is, clearly, the best. Day one main for me. My only complain is her DF2, it needs to be nerfed.

Julia for defending the world from 6 Leroy's at once.

I have never seen hate towards Mokujin, I have always had a special affection for him

King and Yoshimitsu were undeniably huge draws in the arcade for Tekken 1 and 2. They're probably the most important characters to Tekken in terms of general public knowledge

Julia is a fantastic character and I hope she doesn't return. I don't want to see what they do to her in T8.

It's ARMAH KING. Everybody likes Armor King. He's unapologetically sick. He's not too over the top. Tasteful.

He doesn't yet have Plus Frames Into Stance Mix as his core gameplay strategy because he's not in T8 yet.

Lili in t8 is absolutely perfect gorgeous wonderful amazing phenomenal outstanding beautiful incredible, the glow-up from t7 is ESPECIALLY stunning.

Hwoarang's new look is incredible too but I his outfit is pretty boring. I wasn't entirely on board with t6 and t7 looks but they really fit his character and told you a lot about the character, in t8 his clothes don't really express anything beyond his martial art. It would be cool if that change was paired with some story content showing him becoming a more Baek-like character stepping away from his edgy rebelious personality but nah.

I like Alisa's new look too. Even though she's still the same boring kawaii robo girl personality-wise, her new look is gorgeous. the longer hair and dress are a wonderful evolution of her original look and her wings look super pretty too.

Nah, some are solid but most feel like a downgrade to me. A lot of the outfits feel overdesigned even by Tekken standards, especially for returning characters, and a lot fall under the category of "the old design but with small arbitrary changes that don't quite work", which makes one wonder why they didn't go for entirely new ones if they didn't want to keep the old outfits.

It doesn't help that for some reason, namco seems to really like having trends across all characters which makes them lose personality. In T7, everyone suddenly got longer versions of their traditional outfits so they would show off the cloth physics and in T8, it's random ribbons and straps.

And speaking of over-design, there's also a weird contrast between the less realistic style they're going for with this game versus how absurdly detailed and wrinkly the faces get when the male characters make any expression.

And I say the males because the female characters, at the other end of the spectrum, have had their facial features airbrushed out of reality (and don't get me started on my main Lili losing her distinctive looks and instead looking like Generic Anime Girl #9473).

I will answer that after Armor King release. T7 AK is the goat so far.

Most of them have had better looks, I’d say T4 has the strongest designs (and despite everything Tag 2 had some amazing ones too)

it definitely has the best clothing for many characters, those amazing jackets that claudio, jin, kazuya, dragunov, leo, lars etc are wearing are epic, and the females too like zafina, nina, anna have very cool outfits, hworang has an epic jacket outfit as well but not his main

Jin F4 easy

laws a really strong character in lower and upper ranks, if you like him there's no reason you shouldnt use him.

Play whoever you like. Devil Jin, Jin & Steve are currently considered to be the top3 characters in the game but yet those characters aren't exactly sweeping wins at every tournament. And recently someone beat the world's best Devil Jin player using Panda in tournament.

Gigass

Lucky Chloe obviously

Akuma and charlie are the coolest

Aki is up there for sure

Sagato!

Necro

Either akuma or sagat for me. Honorable mention for violent ken since he's not a canon character.

It's over the top anime shit but that's what makes it fun

Good now you’re ready to start the game

Yeah story had a bunch of extra sick moments

Yeah, story mode is top tier.

I love Miguel, all these martial artists, robots and fighting bears and here's this pissed off Spaniard whose fighting style is just "I'm gonna throw my limbs at you as hard as I can till you fall down".

Kazuya.

It's always been Lee tbh

1.Uuarrghh

2.Eeyuhhh

3.Dorya

King

Jack 8 or Reina looks like she's going to be a bully through and through

Reina seems like she'll be able to go between being frame-oppressive like her dad Heihachi, and backflipping around between evasive stances.

Oh, and she also has throws for almost everything, which is nice.

Based on what you say, I'd recommend Jack-8.

Feng

Bryan- Bully, mid range pokes, strong lows, +F moves, is an absolute sadist.
