Paul doesn't look sixty to me. He looks forty with city miles. That's the face of a man who's lived on the road and had it rough for a long time. Impressively though he can still smile.
The Paul trailer has almost 500k views in just 7 hours (way more if you count all the channels). The Jin trailer is already over 1 million. What a crazy time to be a Tekken fan. The franchise is the most popular it has ever been thanks to Tekken 7. I cannot wait for Tekken 8!
I don't know how much Kazuya considers him as a rival, but if it's something similar to Jin and Hwoarang I think Kazuya would be proud. In the dialogue between the two in Scenario Campaign Kazuya says that he was disappointed that "Paul is not what he used to be" as if he always expected the best from him as a fighter. Despite the difference in personalities, i believe there is a certain mutual respect between them as martial artists. I loved how happy he looks in the trailer.
@@RestFunction learn to read first, genius. I said “reduce”. Maybe that chimp brain of yours can’t differentiate between “reduce” and “remove” so maybe pick up a dictionary, love. Cheers :)
Seriously, the smiles, the air suplex, that FREAKING HEAT ENGAGER WITH THE KNEE ON THE NECK and... Jesus, that amazing updated Rage art made me like Paul and now I'm considering to play him in Tekken 8.
I think "The strongest in the universe" line was a reminisce of Tekken5 Paul after he defeated Jinpachi he is on his house punching walls then suddenly calls out aliens to fight him, maybe he defeated those aliens that's why he's saying it 😂
This new Paul have so much positive energy, love his smile, its like he is genuinely have fun fighting. My theory is that, his sponsor is hair product company, thats why new hairstyle and a lot of smiles. It's commercial for new products :D
I think his hairs like that because his tower hair gel is wearing off, it's still standing up at the roots but the rest of it has sagged down. Maybe he lost his hair product sponsor instead 😅
@@Nasherwood maybe, new hair looks like its not using gel but pomade or gum, cause it has a lot of movements, just like in shampoo commercials, but still. Love his positivity, maybe even the haircut will grow on me
Here we thought we were gonna get a Jun trailer today lol. Paul's face looks better than ever and that sleeve was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one!
I don't think so. I think they're going in order with most played. Next will be law, then most probably king. All the new characters will be introduced in the end, Jun, Lidia and so on
My theory is they will do trailers for all the already-revealed characters before EVO Japan, and EVO Japan is where we get the Jun trailer. Something similar happened back in T7 vanilla days with Kazumi. She was already in the game as a final boss since it came out March 2015, but they didn't give her a trailer until around June 2015.
Yeah, all of the new voice work is really great. I liked Jin's new sounds too. It's odd because we've been hearing the same sounds for like 20 years now but it's also really cool.
Kind of a bummer that people are only focusing on his hair when it's entirely customizable, instead of focusing on all the cool stuff he does in this trailer
I'm not gonna lie. Paul is PAUL in this game. The hair is so insignificant that I never cared to begin with (and yes I've been a HUGE fan of the character since Tekken 2). He's giving so much expression that it's amazing.
In what way is it insignificant that they gave Paul a woman's haircut? Even if you can create custom outfits this is now the default way he is presented. It looks so stupid.
@@andymkay given that Paul has more personality now, you gotta have to imagine the character's(paul himself) thought process in choosing that specific haircut... This paul is more cheerful, quirky, goofy, and badass at the same time. I'm not saying that the hairstyle is gonna become lovable but at least i can somehow appreciate why the hairstyle is like that.
That is the smile of a man who has some mileage in his life and truly is in the golden years of his life right now. I've always loved Paul, I hope they treat him better in his story this time!
Ngl i like paul as a character but i have never been one to play him, but for some reason this trailer with the way they portrayed his character, his new moves, and his facial reactions whether serious looking or funny/happy, it was all done really well. Ty TMM & Bandai Namco
everyone hating on Paul's new hair but I love it. Not the do itself but the commitment of the Tekken character design team to alter the appearances of characters as they age, grow, experience things. Paul is going through it; he isn't the same man he was in his youth. It adds another layer to story and character development that traditionally can feel hollow in a genre such as fighting games.
Paul rage art is now a 7 out of 10 with ripped sleeve, take out the "I'm the strongest in the universe" dialog and I think we'll have an 8 out of 10 lol.
This is an excellent trailer. Many were worried about him (although I still dislike the hair) but the charisma in the trailer plus the new options they gave him, made me quite interested in playing him.
I don't know if you noticed but the woman who announces Paul's name is the same one who announced the fighters in the Japanese Pride FC MMA tournament, what a great!! 💪🏻😎
This is the best tekken has ever looked! Paul is in top condition and I hope he has a new arc in the story. Man I’m definitely trying this game when it comes out 100%
Oh Paul is going to be satisfying to play in this game...imaging the insane pressure you can put on your opponent with this new aggressive system, I can't wait to pick up the game and play as him.
when i saw Law's expression you can tell they made facial expression more better than all of the old generation game and now Paul is also more expressive with thst smile
1:01 Paul's hair still has his normal phoenix style hair (flat top shaved sides) but the hair goes down just like in tekken 4 except its not middle part anymore
I've never had any interest in Paul, but the trailer was great. Honestly, the thing that immediately stuck out to me was that it looked so much cleaner than the other trailers in terms of effects, which I'm happy about. Maybe the stages here contributed to that since Times Square is very flashy, but it makes me hopeful that the actual fighting doesn't have to be so visually cluttered.
What do you mean Jin trailer lacked personality? There is so much character development from him accepting dj moves into his movelist to him saying power isn't everything now.
Maybe that delayed Deathfist after the WS4 was basically a stance mixup. He can deathfist obviously from that position but maybe he has other attacks from the stance or can just stand there and do nothing and you bluff them. Or just a delayable/able to be canceled deathfist.
One of the few things that SFV does better than T7 is how moves feel on block Tekken 8 definitely took notice. These moves look, sound and feel so much more satisfying on block.
Paul now has a contagious smile.
Got that Ryu smile!
So true!
This was the greatest buff
That damn smile...
That's the Dreamworks smile
Paul doesn't look sixty to me. He looks forty with city miles. That's the face of a man who's lived on the road and had it rough for a long time.

@@coryyoung7544 T8 takes place 8 months after T7 if im not mistaken?

paul's coping mechanism is believing he is the strongest and that keeps him going

It’s certainly a long shot, but a rival-esque dynamic between Kazuya and Paul would be awesome in the Tekken 8 story.

He's just coping

Paul has so much charm in this trailer. It blends his comic relief vibes and his tough guy persona so well.
is the haircut designed to just make us laugh at him because he looks like a Karen?
This new Paul have so much positive energy, love his smile, its like he is genuinely have fun fighting. My theory is that, his sponsor is hair product company, thats why new hairstyle and a lot of smiles. It's commercial for new products :D

Wtf, I didn't notice...
Um I'm sure Maximilian can easily do the same 😅.

Paul smiling is the most wholesome thing in Tekken history.
Paul has that Might Guy vibe, and I love it.

Cool aid man SWE
It’s the perfect lean for me 💀
I was just thinking this LMAO
Paul looks like he wants to speak to the manager to tell him that he's doing a terrific job running the business.
That smile. That damned smile. Paul is back and tougher, and it makes me happy seeing that.
When paul smiles I smile…❤️
He looks great indeed 😎

Probably last reveal since she’s been the most anticipated, getting teased :(

I agree, but his hair is just so bad 😂 Everything else is so dope though
Open your eyes, the haircut is just that bad.
I believe he gone still have original hair. Just gone be default 2 costume so they could present something new
Seen some on one of the trailers saying they need to get rid of the wall.
Me personally its goofy AF but I love it.
I bet it'll be there for P2 costume or something. I don't like it as the main hair but people blowin this shit up
I like how each trailer reaction from MainMan has gotten longer
The greatest thing about this trailer...is that Paul got his motorcycle back from T4.
Yeeees, that hog needed the high definition revamp
I guess thats why he smiles all the time
He was riding a bike in T1
T1 T2 Intro
so Paul is rich? cuz iirc Law has a huge dept for destroying Paul's bike so Law must have pay him back the bill to fix Paul's bike
Paul's "yes" face got that Ryu smile energy!
You can just feel TMM's love for Tekken. He just goes into happy mode every time there's something new.

Like he's finally at peace xD
I must say his moves and combos are epic as fuck. Definitely the best one yet.

This was probably my favourite trailer. He has so much character. I don’t even play Paul but I might have to lmao.
How did his jacket not survive but his glove did? He loves that glove so much he controlled his rage art to not let it be destroyed.
I mean, he DID flex his muscles, not his hand. So it makes sense
