With him, violence is à la carte.Victor Chevalier, voiced by Vincent Cassel, slices his way into the TEKKEN8 roster!

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Stage looks dope, his design is cool, minus all the weapons, that is just overkill.
I was hyped for him but now, nope, lol. Not my style at all, hopefully Reina (in 10 days) will be good.
Apparently she will have the moveset of Heihachi (my main).

 

[Rheon]

Man, design, voice, personality and stage are all 10/10.

But that fighting style... completely unexpected lol.

Guess Noctis mains have a new main since he won't be returning for T8.

 

[kevm3]

I like the design of the character. Don't really care for all of the weapons. Cool music though

 

[kevm3]

I'm really liking the music of Tekken 8

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Noctis + Kuni??
His design could fit Lee more, and Lee design would fit him more.
His sword looks like toy sword btw.

 

[yanhash]

Harada goes to America once

 

[MDSLKTR]

Voiced by Vincent Cassel is a nice touch.

 

[//DEVIL//]

French Raiden Ninja with a gun lolol.

It can't get any worse with the suit he is wearing.

F

 

[SSfox]

Looks cool, but gameplay not much my style.

 

[Griffon]

Could be cool for Noctis mains in need of a new one.

 

[splattered]

I'm not an elitist when it comes to fighting games or Tekken... i think this looks great! haha

 

[xion4360]

Seems like he might be filling in for noctis players? I see some similarities

 

[Chukhopops]

Stage is quite incredible, respect to the artists for capturing the Paris vibe.

Voice is a bit weird and flat coming from Cassel but the rest looks great.

 

[Black_Stride]

Did this cat make a wrong turn, cuz me thinks he is in the wrong game.
Guilty Gear is ←that way.
Dont get me wrong its a cool design adn cool fighting style but seems very NOT Tekken.
But ehh.....already ahve my main selected for Tekken so I just need to learn to counter him incase he gets popular.





P.S:

Did I miss the Yoshimitsu reveal trailer or something?

 

[MudoSkills]

Jéan Wick.

 

[poodaddy]

Weird negativity towards the only character thus far that even seemed remotely notable to me. Very cool design, love that it's an older guy too, and there's not enough French characters in fighters so that's rad.

Very, very cool design and gameplay.

 

[Neff]

First new addition to the Tekken roster which has made me fully sit up and pay attention since 3.

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Function replacement for Noctis huh?
Like the stage.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I haven’t looked at Tekken since Tekken 3. Are they some sort of virtual reality avatars now or something? Shooting and stabbing each other without taking wounds? Why are weapons being used at all?

 

[DForce]

Don't care for the character but the stage looks nice.

P.S:

11 characters don't have their own trailer They revealed them in just 2 trailers.
Yoshimitsu , Zafina , Claudio, Dragunov , Leo , Steve, Kuma, Panda, Alisa, Devil Jin, Shaheen.

Getting stabbed without receiving a wound has been around since Tekken 1. Devil Kazuya has been able to shoot a laser since Tekken 2.

The fights just aren't realistic

That was a special final boss.

Isn’t this supposed to be a tournament? Why are there guns?

 

[Space Runaway]

Looks fine but not really a fan of Tekken having a character that uses a gun as part of his normal repertoire.

 

[Aggelos]

 

[Knightime_X]

KFC Colonel Sanders took some assassination traits I see.
Gotta keep that secret recipe safe at all cost.

You're asking why there are no wounds on the character when you have someone like Yoshimitsu who has been using a sword since Tekken 1. You're trying to base gameplay on reality.

Characters in most action games can take bullets to the chest and all they need is a health kit to regain their life. You're taking the gameplay too literally. Also, each character is not in a tournament. They have conflicts outside of the tournament.

 

[NT80]

Looks a lot like Hitman from DNF Duel

 

[Soodanim]

CQC looking gunplay style from Snake
Sword from MGRising
Bloodhound Step from Elden Ring
Knives from I can't think who
Slam/ground impact reminds me of something too

Not sure who else I see in there, but he looks like a mash up of someone's favourites across media wrapped up in a stylish suit. Not a bad thing, he looks quite fun.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Get a character who can pull a draco out and people lose their minds.

Might day 1 for this dude, game looks FIRE.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Just when I thought they were doing something interesting in Tekken 8 with Azucena, they pull this crap. Noctis 1.5

P.S. This game hasn't even finished its reveals and already feels outdated... Original reveal trailer was a complete lie.


P.S.S. Heihachi and Kuma are legends. Panda is cannonfodder filler.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Tekken 8 is shaping up to be absolutely shit hot, essential purchase material.
Everything I've seen (Barring Paul looking even more of a douche than usual) looks incredible!
