Looks like they keeping on buffing up uniqueness of chars in T8, there some P. Jack and Gigas moves jack now have, so he should be way less boring now.
Is it just me, or are they showing off a lot of characters really fast. Especially given we don't have a release date. How large do you think the roster will be, and when do you think it's coming out?
I mean theyve only shown off about 8? Characters so far. From the sounds of it the roster is going to be 25~30 so i think they have plenty of material left to keep the marketing train going. Im definitely not expecting the game this year.
Minus Nina, every character trailer so far has been everyone that was revealed during the State of Play reveal trailer a while back, so they’ll likely come as less frequent once Jun gets announced and we delve more into other character reveals.
If I had to guess, we'll probably get a longer trailer with a montage of maybe 3-5 new characters in whatever event Tekken chooses to show up to, then similar formula to what we have now with dedicated trailers for each.
Harada threw a little snarky comment saying it'll have a slightly bigger roster than its competitor(SF6). So probably 20 characters for the launch roster. Probably more cuz Tekken has an easier job reusing animations.
They announced CBT offline test on Evo japan.
So they putting all gameplay trailers for all shown characters before 31st.
And we most likely gonna see new big trailer at the end of Evo Japan too.
Jack was the least jobber-ish in Tekken 3. Gun Jack was a major improvement in competence and coolness, also he looked a lot more human.
Then in Tekken 5 they went full Small Soldiers on his look and he was even goofier.
I can't tell if I'm just appreciating good animation more recently or if Tekken 8/SF6 animators just really stepped up their game with making hits look powerful coming from characters like Jack/Marisa
I can't wait for them to make Tekken Zero so we can get Jack-0.
Jack-0 Final Form aka Jack-0-FF
When he blows up he says "I AM JACKING OFF AGAAAAAAAAAIN"
Just like Team Red Rocket, the comedically ineffective villains from my favorite childhood anime Fuckémon.
Isn’t that just Prototype Jack?
And then he does the Jack-O pose
Bold of them to decide that Jack's origin story was actually a tower defense game.
RIP Jack's old modulated PS1-era voice
*OOUUYAH!*
RrrrRUGH
The way they're integrating weapons into the movesets makes me think Yoshimitsu will end up using a lot of his Soul Calibur moveset.

I didn't realize Tekken launched with that many more characters over Street Fighters 18 characters.
Tekken 7 originally began with 20 playable characters. It was Dragunov, Feng, Hwoarang, King, Alisa, Lars, Kazuya, Asuka, Katalina, Shaheen, Claudio, Lucky Chloe, Heihachi, Lili, Paul, Xiaoyu, Marshall, Bryan, Steve, and Leo.
yes you are right and 7 post-launch were Kazumi, Yoshimitsu, Josie, Devil Jin, Jin, Jack-7, Gigas

The first few trailers were weeks apart but now, it's days apart. I think after Jin they sped them up.
"Iron Fist" Tournament, now with railguns.
So when we get to Jack X, are they gonna give em a Kart racing gimmick?
Wow, they made him look pretty cool!
You know, I remember JWong describing why he doesn’t like Jack as viewing him as a mook jobber. Yeah, I see where he’s coming from.

It's gonna take some time get used to listening the newly recorded voices Jack looks as good as is possible for Jack

Yup. Jack still looks visually repulsive. Perfect, like tradition demands. He's just a bit glowier this time around.
Way better than the T7 design but not a fan of the clanky sound effects on jack. But that has been a series issue since T2 for me.
BIG STRONG BOY
Is it just me or was Jack flying in with his big gun a Hyaku Shiki reference?
I can't believe they nerfed his massive dumpy. Noooooo
