:D

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.

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

All mishimas(except Lars) are arrogant, it doesnt mean they are all the same.

With that said, Asuka is not arrogant, IMO. She has a strong sense of justice and careless behavior. For example, when she says "Dont hold back", its more like she needs prove herself. When Reina says that, she feels more like "Im gonna kick your ass anyway, at least make it fun"

Reina's personality is still a mystery tho. We've only seen part of it.

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.

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 have to go with jin or law

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)

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.

Overall I’d say Armor King, if I’m taking aesthetics, gameplay, watchability etc into account.

He’s got the sickest intros and outros in the game, and is basically a crossover between King and a Mishima. No beating that.

Gigas. Feels so good to win with him.

Negan

but in general i think King is the coolest dude since i first saw him in T3. dem sneakers man.

Kazuya

Probably Akuma. He made me not hate Street Fighter that much. Completely ignored that franchise because Tekken is just the best Fighting game ever. Hope I can replace Akuma with Kunimitsu soon...

I'm very happy to see another Munenori fan 🫶

another yagyu fan!

MY FELLOW YAGYU FAN. I FOUND A BROTHER

This is sorta lukewarm

‘Lets see how much interaction I can get with this bait post’

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.

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

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

Feng

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

I just came back after playing the game at launch, wtf did they do to him ;-;

Nope, Yoshi was nerfed. Shut that narrative down now

Do not forget the endless crying over Marduk in T7 and they never nerfed him, in fact they buffed him. All I’m saying don’t be surprised when he’s not nerfed.

Victor is easily number 1 easiest character in the game

Let's talk about Feng. For me, he's extremely convenient and easy to use, but that's because he's been my main character since Tekken 5. But what about for a novice or someone from outside? Is he difficult to use?

Parliamo di feng appunto. Per me è estremamente comodo e facile ma perche è il mio principale da Tekken 5. Ma per un neofita o esterno? È difficoltoso?

Victor, Asuka, Lars, Eddy, Alisa

As a Feng main just do TIO and win

1. Victor
2. Victor
3. Victor
4. Victor
5. Victor

A Feng main that disagrees 🤯

until they add Miguel back.

Miguel got his revenge, but it didn't make better.

He's done.

Yoshimitsu

Eventually, everyone just like any tekken game tbh

After seeing how crazy they made the first 19 characters, I can't make decisions about about who I'm gonna play until we see the rest of the trailers. I might even be excited to play fucking Shaheen at this rate.

I only play Shaheen so I can get fundamentals right and then play a better character

Jin chose Hwoarang

Kazuya, Jin, King, Jun, Paul, Law, Jack-8, Lars, Xiaoyu, Nina, Leroy, Asuka, Lili, Bryan, Hwoarang, Claudio, Azucena, Raven, Leo, Steve, Kuma, Yoshimitsu, Dragunov, Feng, Panda, Lee, Alisa, Zafina, Devil Jin, Victor, and Reina.
