“Please!!! Stop praying for my grandfather. You are making him too strong. He just crawled out of a volcano and cops say their tasers don’t work on him.” -Jin Kazama,2024 Probably
“When did Jin die?”. I asked myself this too, but then I remembered that Heihachi killed him in T3 when he and the Tekken Force shot him up. Then the Devil gene revived Jin moments later. I’m assuming it’s referencing that.
Jinbo never forgot when Gramps pulled up the glocky the millisecond he dusted that oversized Shrek Clone when he was barely 18😭😭 That shit become a mf core memory poor guy
@@crabson914Jin didn't die in 6. 7 takes place directly after it which shows that he was still alive,just incapacitated after crashing the helicopter he was on and Lars saving him. Whoops
I like how when Hei's on heat, the same spot where Kazuya last punched him in T7 will flare up. The fist wound also popped up for a bit on his special intro with Kazuya, which is a nice touch.
I thought I was the only one who noticed it was such a sick detail. I loved Heihachi's form at the end of T7, him basically unlocking the 8 gates and letting it all on the line, the 'chi' basically evaporating off like an Aura. Personally, I never really enjoyed Kazuya or Jins devil forms visually.
Heihachi domain expanding back to the Tekken 7 volcano and repeating the same line in the finale against Kazuya for his rage art is actual peak hater energy my lord, he really doesn't gaf huh
@@brandonspringfield2861 Jin didn't die in TK3 either. Obviously, Heihachi was being figurative with that statement, but he's definitely referring to Jin disappearing after TK6.
When did Jin die? Well it could either be when Heihachi shot him in Tekken 3 only for him to activate his devil gene and then drag him out of the temple and fly off, or at the end of Tekken 6 where he takes down Azazel, even though he didn't get announced dead, being announced as missing and then having Heihachi take over the Zaibatsu again, then Heihachi "dying" in 7 before Jin makes his appearance at the end... That could be it too
Wtf do you mean? Reina is the daughter of heihachi. He has many children so harada can pull them out out of his ass whenever, just like Reina (what an awful character). What a shame that story mode is fodder overload, with most of it being dumb and boring. Wish they focused on Jin, kazuya, heihachi, lee etc... Characters that matter. Not Reina, Lars, Alisa (😩 ew), Lili...., Eddy, Lidia sobieska prime minister of Poland, xiaoyu, panda (wtf), law, paul, fkn Leroy smith (dude is the most generic walking archetype/trope) etc... The best parts of Tekken 7 were kazuya vs Akuma, Akuma vs heihachi, heihachi vs Kazumi, kazuya vs heihachi at the end. The best parts of Tekken 8 were the start and end, Jin vs kazuya and Jin vs kazuya. Everything else felt like complete fodder. Especially Leo, Lars, Reina.
Heihachi has a stack system where it's only accessible via the 3rd and last stack, these stacks are gained when Heihachi uses heat and will stack per round (up to 3) however once Heihachi's special skill is activated which is called Warrior instinct, it will only activate once, so if you lose after that round its gone. Warrior instinct allows for certain moves to be more powered up which would changed the moves effect such as the ewgf for Heihachi being even faster as demonstrated in the trailer or allowing special moves to be performed such as the headbutt depleting grey health or the continued hellsweep to kick.
^ New Sub here. This is my 3rd video watching of yours. I subbed on from the 1st vid I watched. Anyways , I’m hyped and excited for Heihachi, I can’t wait to start using him. I’m going to make him one of my mains. For Tekken8 my main is Reina, but other characters that are my favorite are Jin, Devil Jin, the Mashimas in general. I know them as long as I can remember since Tekken Arcade days, I’m a Kasual for Tekken, the only Tekken games I have owned is Tekken7 which I got on sell I think, Tekken8 is the only and first Tekken game I have preordered, I payed for Year 1 character pass, and I’m enjoying Tekken8. I been an MK guy all my life but now I got deeper into Tekken with this one. Street fighter second but now it’s a tied between Tekk and Sf but I have more hours now in Tekken#8 than SF#6. And doing better in T8 than T7 in ranked online now that i put more time on it and with labbibg characters…But yea, Great story, better than ever presentation from what I remember,but yea and fun gameplay, very kompetive as always been as I seen. I got destroy in Tekken😮ult out the fighting games of the big 3 and also King of fighters to win in ranked. I’m looking forward Heihachi on day 1.
1:45 He could either be talking about when he shot Jin in the head & his Devil form resurrected him, or Jin coming back after disappearing when he defeated Azazel in Tekken 6.
He indeed seems to have "more frames", but that's because they seem to be putting more effort into his animations. The problem is that other characters don't in a lot of situations. If you look at some moves from other characters on video, and you advance frame by frame, you will see that they basically teleport into the final position of their moves sometimes (also known as skipping frames). Street Fighter 6 does animations beautifully. And everything tends to be faster in SF6. Of course, the game being in 2d, makes it a lot easier to acomplish. For example, pause the video at 2:37 and use "," and "." to go back/forward frame by frame and look at how goofy Kazuya's hellsweep is. Heihachi seems to use 2 frames for every portion of his Hell Sweep motion but that might just be my YT being weird. Hell Sweep is hard to react (or is unreactable) because the animation makes no sense. They are trying to do such a large movement in the few frames it takes to do the Hell Sweep.
@@Jin-lp5lt It's not either-or. It's both, genius. Hell Sweep being fast is a known fact, so it was not worth mentioning. It's also a fact that if an animation is smooth it will be easier to see. "XD".
heihachi has a few lidia things in this trailer. horse 1, stance transitions, df4, ff1+2. my theory is that this is not heihachi, but lidias dad possesed by him or some shit.
That stance where he stomps forward after ewgf gets blocked looked like his Raijin stance. He's always had it but it was a very underutilized part of his kit. The charge up afterwards is new though.
oh wow, we already got him next month, or is that normal after the tekken talk? - i started before just before the first lidia trailer, so that felt longer? could just be me though! thanks for the video Phi!
What has me worried is that is seems both broken toy and fire starter are now only out of stance, it doesn't really make sense to me considering that's a key identity of Reina's stance mix-ups Not a fan if they're tied to stances, but another thing that worries me is what seems a lack of a third hell sweep in exchange for Kazuya's new leaping kick out of hell sweep I'm still a Heihachi main through and through and obviously any judgement should only be made after he comes out, but I have to admit I still have some worries.
I wonder if one of the stances is a reanimated Raijin stance? And him having uf4,1 ending mid makes me wonder if hunting hawk is mid, high, and no longer jails, but that'd be crazy right? Right?
I saw his movelist on KingJae's stream, good luck facing him for the next couple of months. He is broken on another level and completely overpowered in heat.
The alt ending in tekken when kazuya wins and throws him off cliff I think this is real ending for 8. Harada also talked about Jin finally getting his turn to get thrown😂
To me it looks like f3+4 with new animation, my basis because of the 1 input that is now homing and guard breaks, maybe it can be extended with 2 input 9:38
Heihachi will never die..he's part of Tekken history. I knew it all along. For those who said I'm crazy don't know what I'm talking about from the beginning. Even when there's Tekken 20 heihachi will still be alive competing 😅
Reina has some of Heihachi moves, Heihachi has Reinas stances. Jin has Zen. Now i am sad that Kazuya is the only Mishima (and probably only character from the roster) that has no stance.
Didn’t play T7, how do DLC stages work? Since not everyone will have them, so are they just rarely played online? The beach stage was free, so that made sense but this one isn’t so jw if it’ll even be played online?
Between Bison and Heihachi, Japan has a flakey understanding of what “complete death” is. Still a far cry from Mortal Kombat’s shenanigans in that regard at least.
Kazuya the last true Mishima in my eyes, Heihatchy has become true tekken 8 DLC charater, Now every tekken 8 dlc will have to be stance heavy characters

This is a really nice analysis, breakdown and reaction of Heihachi (long-time main). Thanks for taking the time to do this. Quality video!
Heihachi looks sickk - glad they gave him decent animation budget. Animations and effects are out of this world.
He looks sick
Well, they have to make the dlc tag worth it
And this is so much better than if he had old animations but was on the base game imo
He seems like a combination of Reina and Lidia. That actually is extra dope!
A cool detail is that you can see Kazuya's fist print on Heihachi's chest when goes red. Probably from "patricide fist" 😂
Heihachi hit Kazuya with the same punch that killed him in T7.

no one is ready for a heihachi's hellsweep not tripping on block.
i think they didn't show the lidia and reina interactions bc it spoils the dlc story information
I think the empowered moves have glowing orange effects, and the second "heat smash" is probably a head smash due to the sound after it's over
Just saw the note in the video about the heat smash mb
1:45 He could either be talking about when he shot Jin in the head & his Devil form resurrected him, or Jin coming back after disappearing when he defeated Azazel in Tekken 6.

Miracle marketing from Bandai to not only put a release date on a character trailer, but one that’s actually soon
You were actually right. The big bosses of Tekken confirmed Heihachi will have 2 heat smashes.
I still can't say I'm a fan of all these stance transitions on every character
everyone is now just a stance pressure char.....
Heat as a mechanic has ruined every characters design completely.@@HolDeinCousin

Its reina saying she knows what to do and heihachi preparing her for training
There's videos of that on UA-cam. They basically know each other, he says something like she has to help fulfill his plan. She even calls him daddy.

that stage looks so dope
His new power moves look like he took some from Jinpachi and molded it into his moveset.
he has 2 stances, 1 new and the other one is the Rijen Stance which is old

Might be in the minority that he looks lame af and bamco seems creatively bankrupt. Wow 3/3 dlc character are stance mixup with install.
You might be the minority but you're speaking the truth. The Tekken team doesn't know what they are doing.
Though I do like the install on heihachi because he’ll be like a boss character on third token. I do agree with you tho
If Eddy didnt have those installs thingy it would have been fine imo, this is a bit too much XD
Haven't really seen HK Jr. since T8 launched. He was arguably the best T7 Heihachi. Wonder if this'll make him come back?
Hk Jr, Sinfulpants, aqeel zahoor are some of the people I cant wait to see play him
In the Heihachi - Kazuya intro, his chest is glowing a red shape, maybe that's related to his story.

I'm assuming the second heat smash against Kazuya might be when his stacks are high enough maybe?

Somehow, heihachi returned….
he got kuma's ws2
Gramps is back to beat some ass
Ok but I'm really looking forward to the new stage, the music sounds very Tekken 7
Hunting Hawk is Hell Axle
I think that second heat smash is like lidia’s political storm.
I'm sad he no longer launches after an omen though, I was expecting at least an insta T! but its back to vanilla t7 omen
I'm not pro at Tekken and I suck at Mishima but this version of Heihachi is the best! I will main him.
