For anyone wondering why he has that lock as his rage art. It's because it's a throwback reference to Tekken 2 where he had the octopus stretch. It was an insta-kill throw he had. I love the little references Bamco is doing with their rage arts.
@@runman624 Yeah, you're right, the move was from the first King, forgot to mention the current King was a kid in the original King's orphanage. This makes the rage art even more better since he's pretty much paying homage.
I had a friend called Edward who was a great king player in Tekken 3. He died a long time ago,and king always make me remember him. He really was a king fan from the first tekken
Rest in Paradise Edward 🙏🏼 My best friend growing up was the best Yoshimitsu player on our block! He’s since passed away, but to this day I play Yoshimitsu for him. Don’t care about no tier list. Miss and love you Adrian!! Peace and love to you and Edward ✌🏼🕊️❤️
King embodies so many pro wrestlers; His mask and general style is based on the Tiger Masks, particularly the first and second Tiger Masks; Satoru Sayama and Mitsuharu Misawa, whose moves are also reflected in King's moveset, such as Sayama's Sobat Kick or Misawa's hard elbows and the Emerald Flowsion. His backstory of fighting to raise money for his orphanage is based on the real life story of a priest turned luchador named Fray Tormenta, whose story also loosely inspired Nacho Libre. And the guy responsible for actually mocapping the moves for King and bringing the insanity to life is legendary wrestler, the Murder Grandpa, Minoru Suzuki, who is also one of the founding fathers of modern MMA. King isn't just a pro wrestler, he is pro wrestling itself and I've always loved that about him. No secret about who I'm maining, huh? 🤣
KING IS MOCAPPED BY MURDER GRANDPA??? Did he mocap his rainmaker for tekken 7? Cuz that’d be hilarious just seeing suzuki hitting the nastiest rainmaker in a full mocap outfit 😂😂
When he had the mic and all you can hear were growls, it made me smile from ear to ear. King is definitely an amazing character. So glad he's in the game.
@@ItaK-ql7yz pretty sure the only characters who have appeared in every mainline game are King, Yoshimitsu, Paul, and Nina, so I don't any of them will just randomly not come back at this point
The character that got me interested in Tekken. I’ll never forget the first time I saw people play him in Tekken 3 in the arcade. I was a big wrestling fan back then so seeing him doing all kinds of grappling chains blew me away and made me want to learn playing him. And that’s how I got into Tekken.
This is the same story for many people that first got into Tekken. They incorrectly remember the “Guy with the tiger mask” throwing everyone around. Fun times.
I started my contact with Tekken 2 in Arcades, but when tekken3 arrived it was a before and after. What rows what was there to wait to be able to play it. My characters were Eddy, Hworang and of course the great King.
The combo of a throw into a throw is insane. He looks so versatile and mobile in this one. Movement + Armor is gonna make him a menace for the unprepared
I love that they doubled down on his flashy, crowd pleaser style. Really makes it feel like a real wrestling match. Also him with the mic for what I'm assuming is a victory pose? *Chef's kiss*
I love how they put some more personality in his character with the pointing and cutting promos. Just makes it more fun. He looks really impactful. He's just a menace and my favorite character! Can't wait for it !
@@lookinlikeapinkrabbit4569 Both peoples north and south of the border, before there ever even was a border, are counted as Indigenous to this land. And are somewhat relatives to each other. So you're not too far off.
King's Voice actor is really really good at his voice over, the commitment to the craft and lines is pretty well done. 0:55 King's motivational speech with the mic is very inspiring too.
Man I never thought I would be getting spine chills from a new release as I’m getting older… this just hit me hard. King was the first character I legit tried to learn and practice. This is amazing
HE LOOKS SO DAMN COOOOL!!! He has so much wieght in his hits and his grabs look fantastic! I am fairly fresh to Tekken but I have been a religious grappler main through fighting games and King was my favourite the moment I touched Tekken 7. And my good god does it feel great to see him look this amazing in Tekken 8
The hit audio is insanely satisfying this time around. King looks great. Also this stage is really nice! Wasn’t a huge fan of the MK9 ish stage but this one is great. DOA vibes.
There's always a reason why I gravitate towards King and thats because I love wrestling. The Pedigree, Shining Wizard, the multitude of powerbombs and the cutter (RKO) are so well animated!
I personally feel that Zangief for his Street Figher 6 trailer is much better animated with the People's Elbow, Jackhammer, Suplexes and the Dragon Screw, what is your take on that?
@@sikwitit773 You can compare both characters without any ill intent. Personally I prefer SF6 style but King here has so many different moves and cool grab combos.

The sheer brutal animalistic power of that beast. Not only does he look more detailed and colorful, he now even has veins popping. And he even managed to be more powerful and fast than before. This alone is enough to make me want to get the game at full price when it comes out.
Yeah that move that's in Tekken 7 that every king uses for a wall splat is cool. Nice to see people who never played the game before checking it out for the first time.
I love that they brought back the Arena stage with new visuals and a way bigger crowd. The stage feels a lot more alive this time. Also seems like ever since Tag 2, they decided to make it a tradition that every Tekken game onwards gets an Arena stage.
I have been waiting for this one. Already watched it through 5 times. King is my fav tekken character because of the design and personality and they cranked that up to 11 this time around. I can't contain my excitement!
Love the fact that Bandai Namco included Aztec/ mayan culture in his design for those who didn't see it look carefully at his Cape and what he has fastening it.
I just wish that Bandai Namco would put in different themes within the background of these reveal trailers, every single one of them have been using the exact same one.
As someone who recently picked up king I was waiting for his trailer to see how he would play in t8, and they did not disappoint. Lil majin is gonna pop off 🤣
I. AM. SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!!! King’s new animations, the GORGEOUS and dynamic stage, and his Rage Art is just absolutely PERFECT!!!! This is truly shaping up to be the BEST Tekken we’ve had so far!!!!! I am a proud fan!!!!!
I have huge Tekken 4 energy with this outfit and as a King main it seems he is faster than before + the sway motions instead of ending animations is a cool touch
You can see how popular King is. He got more views in one day than the other characters reveals did in three. He’s gonna become the most viewed character reveal video so far. 😂
This is definitely an improvement from 7, they really made him more of a wrestler then he already is. The little things like the mic and his move (the stage also helped) convince me that, they really made KING the King of Wrestling (pun intended)
@Kekker none of the clips that have came out show movement just strings. And I know atleast 50 people who won't be tekken 8 if the movement is the same as tekken 7
0:38 That was both hilarious and badass. I'll never be a wrestler, but I am a performer and I'm really feeling King's performance mindset. The crowd loves him! Also, call a medic, cause he's breaking ALL the backs in this game. Ouch!
Dude the trailer started I was like "they haven't changed a thing" and when King started hitting law like a tank I was like "this is awesome" This must be the happiest day in lil majin's life haha
Damn, king's animations seem to be the most satisfying/badass out of all characters released so far. Then king matches are more entertaining to watch and Majin's evo king run did put tekken on a lot of people's radar, maybe that's what they put in some extra TLC.
Apparently Tekken 8 is destined to be one of the greatest chapters in the history of fighting game... I love King, I love the Mexican fighters and everything from a great country. The background music is very good, I love it because it encourages us to fight all Saturday night... Greetings with love!
Does anyone noticed anything different? This stage is hosted by the G Corporation instead of Mishima Zaibatsu, because I see the logo with the letter “G”. Kazuya is currently the owner of G Corporation.
actually it make sense with Heihachi's passing on T7 and Jin's on sleep and being with Lars,Alisa and Lee on T7, no one is managing Mishima Zaibatsu. Im curious how the story will turn out becoz we have Jun now.
I mean,he was the owner of G corp all the way back in T5 lmao. Either Jin is managing the Mishima Zaibatsu due to Heihachi being dead,or the entire company got destroyed by G corp. Either way cannot wait to see what the story has for us
I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother always took me to this movie theater with an arcade on the side. One day I took a look at something that wasn’t Maximum Force and saw a Tekken 3 cabinet. Very first thing that popped on screen was a preview fight showing Yoshimitsu with his sick laser sword. Me being like 9 and loving all things lightsabers I immediately begged my grandma for enough quarters to play the game. I stopped caring about Yoshimitsu as soon as a I saw the man with the Jaguar head on the roster. That was all I needed. It was the crazy demon guy with a lightsaber that drew me in but it was King that sealed the deal for me on Tekken. Thanks King
I loved the part where King picked up the microphone to say It's king'ing time and then proceeded to king all over the competition. Truly moving stuff😢.
Loving it with each new trailer. A definite must-buy on any platform. Kudos to Namco for such as major upgrade to the franchise. Now this is next gen at its best.
I will always love 2 things about King.
1: he only ever communicates in roars and growls
2: Everyone can understand him.
Wait what really?
Just like that in Tekken, characters can talk in their own language and they understand each other its amazing
3: he takes care off orphans
No I can't
What growls? You didn't hear him talk?
I love the thought of King delivering a promo in nothing but his signature roars and growls.
If you can smellll what the King is cookin'!!!

Batista : Powerbomb
What a mystery
Can we have a moment to appreciate the music? You immediately recognize that it's from Tekken. It's like Tekken has its own genre I love it.
I just wish that Bandai Namco would put in different themes within the background of these reveal trailers, every single one of them have been using the exact same one.
No we can’t have a moment

As someone who recently picked up king I was waiting for his trailer to see how he would play in t8, and they did not disappoint. Lil majin is gonna pop off 🤣
bro I hope Lil majin makes it all the way into the Tekken tournament with king !!!
That first powercrush looks crazy good. And mid combo throw bound? This version of King is nuts
Did anyone notice?
KING have More Views Then Other characters
because he is King!!
@@amiejung8109 🤩hell yeah
And he is a hated chatacter? hell no! He is top popular !
The way he builds up momentum mid air before coming down on a slam. I could only imagine how brutal Armor King & Marduk or going to be.
Once again king looks like he's gonna be an absolute beast. Love it
My boy has the Pedigree and RKO?! KING is delivering pain with style and I absolutely love it can't wait to see Lil Majin reaction to this
Same, king is gonna break so many backs, hope Majin grabs every single God in this game
Nah it was a cutter, not Rko
I. AM. SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!!! King’s new animations, the GORGEOUS and dynamic stage, and his Rage Art is just absolutely PERFECT!!!! This is truly shaping up to be the BEST Tekken we’ve had so far!!!!! I am a proud fan!!!!!
_I. AM. SPEECHLESS!!*_
FTFY
Good thing King was able to give a speech for you
Let's see.
I have huge Tekken 4 energy with this outfit and as a King main it seems he is faster than before + the sway motions instead of ending animations is a cool touch

When are we getting long hair again??
I don't even main King but this was a masterpiece.
King still holds the most watched character promo at a staggering 3.1 mil.
Hail to the King.
You can see how popular King is. He got more views in one day than the other characters reveals did in three. He’s gonna become the most viewed character reveal video so far. 😂
Can only see Yoshimitsu topping him
Jin still has the most and they keep going up
Thats i said
his trailer is the best so far, too
tbh yea all of them are nearly million+
King is one of those characters everyone loves
it's something about that badass tiger mask and those badass moves of his.
i always loved the mask and his growls
@@heyjeySigma But it's a JAGUAR. Not a lion, not a tiger, a jaguar.
Call him a cheetah or a leopard even. Anything but a tiger.
@@ShawnSandiego yes yes sure sure.... tomAHto tomAYto
@@heyjeySigma No, it's like calling pitbull a golden retriever. Those are completely different animals man.
@@Nepururin techically they are the same. all domesticated dog breeds are the same species. a better comparison would be wolves and foxes ☝🤓
Legendary character of all time in fighting game.
Best fighting game character.
@@Ryfael agreed. The only wrestler that wear jaguar mask.
@@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit Armor King
@@MaskofFayt yes
Nah. He is not Akuma,Hisako,TJ Combo,Armor King,Geese,K',Sol Badguy, or even Kazuya level of legendary. Still a cool character but come on man
The design in King’s mask makes him look much more ferocious this time!
This is definitely an improvement from 7, they really made him more of a wrestler then he already is. The little things like the mic and his move (the stage also helped) convince me that, they really made KING the King of Wrestling (pun intended)
He's the best character so far
But did they improve the movement?
@Kekker none of the clips that have came out show movement just strings. And I know atleast 50 people who won't be tekken 8 if the movement is the same as tekken 7
It's called The KING of Iron First Tournament right? 😅
Before he had a more Lucha Libre style, cause you know, Mexican Masked Wrestler. Now he's incorporated more WWE style moves.
King looks so free when it comes to his movement and flexibility. I think this will be his best version yet. Let go king!!!
So far every single character introduced is great so far
And I thought Kazuya's hits sound like they hurt. King came in there like
Allow me to show you what true strength is
Tekken 2 flashbacks of King's frontflip doing more than half of your hp.
@@Svenson_IV in T1,almost anything King did was over half your HP lol
0:38 That was both hilarious and badass. I'll never be a wrestler, but I am a performer and I'm really feeling King's performance mindset. The crowd loves him!
Also, call a medic, cause he's breaking ALL the backs in this game. Ouch!
"Are you having back pain issues sir?"
Yes man
"Let me introduce you to a specialist"
*King emerges from the closet*
Dude the trailer started I was like "they haven't changed a thing" and when King started hitting law like a tank I was like "this is awesome"
This must be the happiest day in lil majin's life haha
Damn, king's animations seem to be the most satisfying/badass out of all characters released so far. Then king matches are more entertaining to watch and Majin's evo king run did put tekken on a lot of people's radar, maybe that's what they put in some extra TLC.
King is really becoming the face of Tekken and as someone who mains him, I couldn't be happier.
Also, he looks FUCKING EPIC!
Fr bro I played Tekken for ages and I mained him ever since I had eyes on him
@@camthehokage8304 same here, I've been maining him since the very first tekken
I play since Tekken 1 on ps1. King has always been the face of takken. Allways will be.
Aside from the Mishimas/Kazamas, King is definitely the face. I feel like his story is deeper than anyone else’s in the series
This trailer has more views than the Jin and Kazuya ones do and they have been out longer. King is definitely the peoples main character.
King on the mic is a fun sight indeed.
"Tonight, right here in the ring, I will give Paul Phoenix the fight those aliens could never give him!"
man King is so badass, his multi-combo throws is devastating. King is the best and powerful
That is why he is my favorite character since I played Tekken 3.
Apparently Tekken 8 is destined to be one of the greatest chapters in the history of fighting game... I love King, I love the Mexican fighters and everything from a great country. The background music is very good, I love it because it encourages us to fight all Saturday night... Greetings with love!
Hail to the King, baby!
Groovy
Ash like it
Siempre he amado a king por cómo hacían sus lanzamientos de cadena. Son los mejores que he visto en cualquier juego de lucha.
I love the upgrade of the face animation especially for King
Mokujin will be better.
I love how they're keeping up the hype with these consistent trailers 🙌🏾

@@Ihatevideogames334 need a life?
@@Ihatevideogames334 Who asked 😏
I love how they're showcasing all these characters. This trailer convinced me to main King again!
If people thinking he is kind of mutant, no
He is just a Mexican Wrestler
So...a mutant?
Does anyone noticed anything different? This stage is hosted by the G Corporation instead of Mishima Zaibatsu, because I see the logo with the letter “G”. Kazuya is currently the owner of G Corporation.
Then that would mean this is the first the King of Iron First Tournament that was hosted by G Corp. instead of the Zaibatsu
actually it make sense with Heihachi's passing on T7 and Jin's on sleep and being with Lars,Alisa and Lee on T7, no one is managing Mishima Zaibatsu. Im curious how the story will turn out becoz we have Jun now.
I mean,he was the owner of G corp all the way back in T5 lmao. Either Jin is managing the Mishima Zaibatsu due to Heihachi being dead,or the entire company got destroyed by G corp. Either way cannot wait to see what the story has for us
ALL HAIL THE KING!!!!!
Love how it actually has the 'feel' of wrestling. I'm impressed.
Cutting promos like a boss!
1:31 I can't help but hear "Heavenly Potemkin BUSTER" when he does the grab
I love the way King looks in this game
And the way his moves look is also amazing
Can’t wait to play him and Yoshimitsu
Yoshi is gonna be insane, I can't wait
@@SSJSoujiro I am dying to see what he’s gonna be this time
@@kruegerpoolthe13th me too buddy, me too..
THAT RKO OUTTA NOWHERE AT 1:11 IS AMAZING
I totally love the new voice lines and his strong personality and facial animations!!! SICK
Can’t tell if you’re serious or joking
😂
@@FinalFlame12345 it´s a joke 😁
I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother always took me to this movie theater with an arcade on the side. One day I took a look at something that wasn’t Maximum Force and saw a Tekken 3 cabinet.
Very first thing that popped on screen was a preview fight showing Yoshimitsu with his sick laser sword. Me being like 9 and loving all things lightsabers I immediately begged my grandma for enough quarters to play the game. I stopped caring about Yoshimitsu as soon as a I saw the man with the Jaguar head on the roster. That was all I needed.
It was the crazy demon guy with a lightsaber that drew me in but it was King that sealed the deal for me on Tekken. Thanks King
1:05 Let's see if King with his Agrrr can stop Paul's super punch 👊🏻
I loved the part where King picked up the microphone to say It's king'ing time and then proceeded to king all over the competition.
Truly moving stuff😢.
truly the king of our generation
Hail to the king
Cringe
Loving it with each new trailer. A definite must-buy on any platform.
Kudos to Namco for such as major upgrade to the franchise. Now this is next gen at its best.
My dad loved king when he saw the tekken 2 arcade machine. Since then my dad always picks the king for a fight.
King has always been my favorite character in Tekken, everything about him is just cool af
