If there's any character you show off muscle definition with, it has to be Law. He's an analogue of Bruce Lee, who was ahead of his time when it came to fitness and low body fat. Bruce wasn't massive but he was built for striking, not for vanity. He looks jacked in his intro because it's an homage to the warm up scenes in Bruce's films, where he'd flex his muscles to get the blood flowing.
So sad he died young. I loved his philosophy. I woulda loved if he was in has prime today, if only the "could Bruce Lee beat so and so MMA fighter" could be nullified. But imagine if he was still here, and in his prime. And he was like this godlike fighter philosopher. Like, tiny, but kicking the fuck outta heavyweights!

King always looks badass. You don't have to do much to the character since his initial incarnation. He's a wrestler with a leopard mask. It's why he's been my main since Tekken 2, he's always looked cool. That and I enjoy playing grappler characters. I do like the addition of the Ultimate Warrior armbands with the tassels.
My favorite King designs are Tekken 5 look with the Kung-fu shirt and hoodie and his look in 7 with the cape. King also has one of my favorite side character stories with his rivalry with Marduk.
I have to ask with you being a King main for so long have you won. Matches with his crazy chain combos. We're you grapple opponents and Ko them in that whole move set. I never seen anyone do it bc of the difficulty of it. I don't main King I just enjoy Tf out of his wrestling move sets.
@@mr.smellgood2794 Yes, I have and I've seen many other King players use them. It's a staple of King or Armor King's game. If you're not doing any of their command grabs or chain throws, you're missing out on a lot of good opportunities for high damage mix ups.
Jin now wears mostly white and black because its symbolizes Jun's color scheme. I think that makes sense because Jin now remembers his mother more and more
The designs are still generally as busy as they are in Tekken 7, but the designs themselves are slightly better than before in most cases (Jin being the prime example of an improvement).
Max is right about T7 jin's leather suit having weird belt. Mainman mentioned Jin wearing a tanktop underneath in T8 is more appropriate. But the devil jin bandage on his waist and left thigh is a bit off.
I don't worry too much about the character designs, because theres always the character customisation xD But Kazuya's default design here is 10/10 for sure!
@@heavensswarriorr5027 are there gonna be alternate costumes for all characters as well? Like Jin and Kazuya's redesigned pants in the first reveal trailer?
Jin's outfit is mostly in white color, meanwhile Kazuya's is in black. This symbolizes Yin and Yang, aka the balance of opposites being light and darkness. Since Jin is on the side of light (Yin) he is finally going to return to being a Protagonist like in Tekken 3. Not to mention that Jun having the same theme him, which means that she is in Alliance with Jin, but also a mother who is protecting him from his Devil Gene. Meanwhile, Kazuya being on the side of darkness (Yang) as usual will play as an Antagonist in this game.
i don't dislike it, but i feel it looks a little bit too much. kinda if they took KOF's Chizuru, TAG 2 Jun, mixed them up and cranked the details to 11. I can see myself getting used to it, but only time will tell
I actually really like Lars' new design. His ridiculous haircut really demands an equally overdesigned and fancy outfit. With the powersuits it always looked weird as fuck, but with the T8 design they compliment each other nicely imo. Idk about his lore or what kind of person he is but from a purely visual perspective they really nailed it for me.
@@irishpizza2823 I think Goku's Gi from DBZ would've looked better on Lars or give his coat softer materials the leather is going too hard makes Lars look like a Nomura design character as apposed to Tekken
Has it really been negatively received? I kinda dig it. When you're going for ultra realism in such an absurd universe as Tekken, I dunno, I like it. But then again, the new design doesn't really scream "former winner of the iron fist tournament" (He did win one right? Like the first or something? It's been such a long time.)
For me the best two are Jun with her classic colors white/black in her dress and Jin following those same colors with his personal red added. Btw i think Jin its gonna get if not both once of his wings white when he is at his transform form at the final fight vs kaz.
What I love about Jun's design the most is that the one behind it is my favorite art designer in gaming period: Mari Shimizaki. The main character designer for Bayonetta worked on Jun's design and it's just incredible.
What I really like about King's new look is that its incorporating King's heritage which is something I really like when they do it. Like the white pants, blue shirt, with poncho look he got also in Tekken 4. Plus the default look King had going on in Tekken 4 was really good. Like you could see the long hair growing that's coming underneath the mask. I am going to miss the kickpads but the boots with how they look is something King would wear at like a big non WWE wrestling event like Wrestle Kingdom.
maybe its because im a sucker for long coats, but i really like Lars's design. Is it extremely final fantasy? sure. Is it OTT? yes. But i like it. The progression of his outfits from like, weird power suit footsoldier to weird OTT commander looking guy is a narrative I and I alone appreciate lmao
I don't think I'll ever like Lars' design, but at the same time; it's kinda hard to give him something that isn't goofy-looking with that weird hair of his

urban soft tech wear jin is so good oml. also my humble artist opinion. i don't think its as over designed as it appears at first. specifically jin. if you blur, or cross your eyes, you can see the design fit into 3 major shapes with very very limited color range, which is very impressive, because its still very readable! also big fan of the leg wrap, its gonna give a lot of cool second animation.
As a Yoshi main, seeing redesigns of other characters who are not yoshi just feels weird. I kinda got used to seeing other characters in their trademark fits, while Yoshi gets a new skin every installment. But Kazuya literally looks like he's not gonna sugar coat it
@@kbrxion5620 SC6 Yoshi indeed had the best looking outfiit change in the modern era. A mixture of his Tekken 3 helmet and possibly the best colorway IMO
Law looks like the lead actor from Ninja Assassin.. and Kazuya looks like he took dress tips from Dmitri from Dark Stalkers.. not a bad thing at all tho
I never played a lot of Tekken, but I thought I'd jump on with 8 and see what the hype is about. So everyone looks neutral to me, I have no baseline for what they're supposed to look like or disappointment about them not changing enough. Although I will say the new Paul Phoenix reminds me of Meatloaf in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

@@LandofBrickForests I was thinking 99 where he (or Iori) would sometimes show up at the end with his sick theme. It's still my favorite design. Though the later version do more closely resemble Jin now.
This is kinda making me realize that Paul hasn't really been Paul since Tekken 4, they keep trying to reinvent the wheel with his design and it's just not working
I don't know why but all the characters looks great to me especially Jin, Jun and Law, Paul hair is weird though, but i guess in the apocalyptic setting of T8, Paul was made to look the roughest/beat up with all the extra armor and survival kit he have
I think Law looks less like Bruce Lee this time around. Probably because Bandai Namco probably needs to get permission and pay royalties to the Lee Estate to use Bruce Lee's likeness. Shannon Lee has really tightened up on that over the years and I think it's the principle reason you no longer see Fei Long in Street Fighter games
When it comes to the new look for Lars, everything about it seems like, something fire emblem and also, almost everyone, within Tekken eight and seven, almost everyone looks like a JoJo character.
Same, wasn't a fan of the eye patch, hair or jacket draped over the shoulders look at all. Maybe It's just me but I'd honestly be happy seeing Baek Doo San to come back at this point.
Lars looks like he's wearing 10 of those weird tight ass sweater/hoodies sold on Facebook and Amazon. Like holy hell, this dude rocking the I have no fashion drip
Watching the divine knockout sponsor. Was like watching a Smite fighting game, I could literally name every God and how they look EXACTLY like Smite in chibi form.
The designs of the characters make them look like they were made for an RPG, or even a mobile gacha game. Their designs are just too busy, Lars specially, there's just too much shit going on in his clothes, the fuck's he supposed to star in? Tekken or Final Fantasy? And don't even get me started on Paul's hair, holy shit. Really makes me appreciate games that manage to have striking looking characters with relatively simple designs.
King's redesign is actually really smart because he now really looks like an actual wrestler from 2022. Like I can imagine an actual human wearing that and working a match. It's more realistic than ridiculous gauntlet boots and big armlets. Also way more modern looking than the underwear on the outside look.
At the end of the day, the base designs for these characters doesn't matter cause once you get online youre gonna be fighting Bryan Fury dressed up as a cowboy.
King's character design has peaked, he is now the most King that he can King
Looking forward to seeing Armour King in this one.
From this point on I'm your girlfriend lmao
Imagine if they redo his Tekken 4 design 🤘
He is the culmination of all kings that ever have kinged

Lars cosplaying as Seto Kaiba! Lmao “blue eyes! White lightning!”
That render does look like Marshall…but my vote is Forest. I became a Law one trick cuz of Forest in Tekken 3 lol
Lars looks like he's wearing 10 of those weird tight ass sweater/hoodies sold on Facebook and Amazon. Like holy hell, this dude rocking the I have no fashion drip
The funny thing is Lars' best costume in the series was his second alternate costume in Tekken 6.
Its the one where he has a half moon on his head right ?
Spot on opinions. Kaz looks incredible. You totally nailed the comments on overdesign and Lars too.
Lars new design is the epitome of tryhard edgelord
Kazuya's look is the most drippiest drip to drip drop the drope!
Kaz is def the best looking.
*Jun looks like a Final Fantasy character*
Jun wins because she was redisigned by Mari Shimazaki
1:19 Gotta make sure I heard it right.
1:25 Yep. I heard it right.
Here Comes a New Challenger, Faul Peenix. 👍
Paul went from biker dude with crazy anime hair to now being a Karen
He could've been better with his old hairstyle or a mullet.. slick back hair something like that
His outfit though looks much better hairstyle aside it looks like something from mad max compared to the reinforced leather armor from fallout.
Paul looking like a overdesigned Indiana Jones with a Karen haircut
The Arena, Law's new design and the picture of Harada and Ed Boon shaking hands makes me think NS has a part in Tekken 8
Probably
King will always look the best. Always.
They gave Paul the "may I see your manager boo thang Karen" haircut 😂😂😂
Nah I disagree with the Lars take,I'm feeling his Tekken 8 design,its giving the final fantasy royal hot shot vibe
Honestly, Lars' lion-armor bodysuit in T7 is pretty sick (Not to mention he looks hot in it
Yeah idk why max doesn't like it. It looks great
I personally liked it too
Lars actually reminds me of SoulCalibur. I like it.
Watching the divine knockout sponsor. Was like watching a Smite fighting game, I could literally name every God and how they look EXACTLY like Smite in chibi form.

The designs of the characters make them look like they were made for an RPG, or even a mobile gacha game. Their designs are just too busy, Lars specially, there's just too much shit going on in his clothes, the fuck's he supposed to star in? Tekken or Final Fantasy? And don't even get me started on Paul's hair, holy shit. Really makes me appreciate games that manage to have striking looking characters with relatively simple designs.
im just glad king finally got his wrestling tightpants AND THEY LOOK RAD bonus points for the cool feathers and necklace
Lars still looks fking badass to me
I love Jack's new design. He's gonna go full Metal Gear eventually
King's redesign is actually really smart because he now really looks like an actual wrestler from 2022. Like I can imagine an actual human wearing that and working a match. It's more realistic than ridiculous gauntlet boots and big armlets. Also way more modern looking than the underwear on the outside look.
At the end of the day, the base designs for these characters doesn't matter cause once you get online youre gonna be fighting Bryan Fury dressed up as a cowboy.
