Honestly, I really hate Lili for both making Asuka irrelevant and for humiliating both Laws. Lili/Asuka rivalry is Harada's dogshit attempt to duplicate Karin/Sakura's rivalry from SF. Lili and Asuka don't even develop each other's characters and Lili is an unlikable creep when compared to Karin when you look beyond her pretty face.

Asuka should unlock her powers and have a rivalry with reina

Askua is like Tenten from Naruto the writer didn’t give her any chance to shine and this is sad

Tekken 8 feels like it went out of its way to make Asuka as useless of a character as possible. "She represents the Kazama fighting style." Nope, we have the OG Jun back and playable for that! "She can give Jin familial support!" Again, Jun, along with Lars, Lee, and to a lesser extent, Reina. "She gives Lili purpose!" Nope, Lili can exist without Asuka, and she even gets a new frenemy in Azucena. "She still has the Feng storyline!" Nope, Feng is more focused on Leroy now! "She fills the hard-hitting tomboy niche!" Nope, now we have Reina for that! Looking at all this, you have to ask: so, what is it she...does around here?

"All Asuka seems to be good for is sex appeal and yuri bait." Considering that she's THE most lewded Tekken character out there, you could tell me this is the main reason she keeps getting included in the games and I would believe it.

The sad thing is, when she first debuted in 5, she actually had a decent and interesting story. She actually had the Kazama purification powers, as seen by her ending in 5, and when they decided to bring back Jun, I had hoped that it meant they were gonna go back to what they had established back then and build on it; making her a crucial part of the Mishima conflict. But no, apparently there's an obscure but big enough subset of people who keep asking for her to get trolled by Lili. And as if that wasn't a hard enough kick in the nuts, they even gave Lili her own character ending that doesn't involve Asuka at all while Asuka had hers stolen by Lili. As an Asuka main, I'm beginning to wonder why she's even in the game.

Asuka imo is one of the biggest waste of potential in the series. I wouldn't have mind if she had a rivalry with Lili, but the issue is she's connected to the hip to her now that she (Lili) completely overshadows her. Now if it were me this is what I would've done. Firstly instead of Lili, I would've had Asuka defeat Lili, but she would also meet Xiaoyu around Tekken 5. The two would fight due to some kind of misunderstanding, but ultimately the two would befriend one another. Come Tekken 6, she and Xiaoyu team up in order to try and stop Jin. During their time, the two encounter Zafina, who notes that Asuka has hidden powers dormant inside of her, confusing the girl, but before she can inquire more, Zafina leaves, promising that they'll meet again. It is not too long afterwards that the two would encounter Devil Jin. Despite the number advantage, Devil Jin defeats both girls, (mainly because Asuka was trying to protect Xiaoyu, who couldn't bring herself to fight Jin). The two survive, (thanks to Asuka's powers emerging causing Devil Jin to flee) but they are too badly injured and are force to leave the tournament. As the two recover, Asuka takes time to learn about her bloodline, and learns more about her aunt Jun from her father. Meanwhile come Tekken 7 the two girls enter the tournament together, but ultimately end up going their separate paths, as Asuka encounters Feng Wei. The two would fight, but b/c Asuka is driven by anger, Feng Wei easily takes advantage causing her to lose. She is ultimately saved by Leroy, who happens to be an old acquaintance of Xiaoyu back when she was little. She becomes disheartened, but Leroy gives her a pep talk in regards to fighting with heart. The two spar in which Asuka defeats Leroy, regaining her fighting spirit in the process. Afterwards they encounter Xiaoyu who is with Claudio and Zafina. Come Tekken 8 the story more or less goes the same except in the coliseum, Asuka would also be one of the combatants to fight Kazuya in an attempt to protect Zafina. It is here we see a glimpse of her power once again as it was affecting Kazuya, but because she doesn't know how to fully harness it, she's defeated. Ultimately Kazuya absorbs Azazel, causing Asuka to go with Jin and Xiaoyu to Yukushima. As Jin and Xiaoyu leave together, she ends up with Lili, but splits off upon feeling herself being called somewhere deep within Yakushima. She soon comes across an old abandoned area within a cave, inside seems to be an ancient altar of some kind. It is here where Asuka encounters Jun Kazama. She inquires about her whereabouts and everything pertaining to her powers. It is here Jun helps her harness her Kazama powers. Just as that is done, Asuka gets a call from Lili, informing her about Xiaoyu's predicament with the Jack units, but the call is cut off. Asuka immediately makes her way over to help, but ends up encountering Feng Wei (who is working under Kazuya), who is holding an unconscious Lili by the neck. Initially fueled with anger, Asuka takes a minute to regather herself as she prepares to fight Feng Wei. With a sound mind, she is able to defeat Feng before checking on Lili, who tells her to go on and help Xiaoyu. When she arrives Xiaoyu, has seen better days but is glad to see her best friend. Rejuvenated, the two manage to fight off the remaining Jack units alongside Lars, who arrived to help. They are soon met with Mega Devil Kazuya, and proceed to fight. Kazuya makes quick work of the three, but finds him hit with nostalgia upon seeing Asuka and her persistence as it reminded him of Jun. The two fight again, but Asuka's Kazama powers manage to slow Kazuya down, long enough for Jin to arrive and take over. She tells Jin not to lose or she'd kick his ass in which Jin gives her a nod before confronting Kazuya. During the end, we see Asuka back at her dojo meditating as reflects back to her encounter with Jun, who before leaving promises to meet her again. Her concentration ends up being broken when she sees both Lili and Xiaoyu (with Panda) having come to visit, as the three girls leave together. This is what I would've done with Asuka. Give her enough relevance in the story while expanding her character. Sorry for the long essay.

Yeah, I’m very disappointed in the endings. All of them were either a repeat or shallow jokes

Reina COMPLETELY replaced Asuka in the story when it comes to Mishima lady relatives for Jin (besides Jun)

Not to mention that Asuka's "rivalry" with Feng Wei went absolutely nowhere. Rip

Reina came and took everything from Asuka💀 Her style, her story importance, her familial ties with the main cast, and her popularity.

Well, uh... in the very least, she defeated Jack 8 and had a 'No Shit, Sherlock' moment with Hwoarang. I find those little details kinda cool. But like many Asuka fans, I'm STILL disappointed that the Tekken writers never did anything with her. She could have had more growth and even a new character arc with Jun. I think it was a perfect opportunity for Jun to take in Asuka as her pupil, and teach her more about the spiritual aspects of the Kazama martial arts. On the other hand, Reina is now in the picture. And she's literally the center of attention now.

Asuka lost her Best Girl status to Reina 😅

I thought they would make Azucena take Asuka's spot as Lili's rival in this game so that Asuka could have a greater focus in the Kazama plot. The Azucena part somewhat happened but they just ignored Asuka as a character in story mode.

"So this Jun lady is Jin's mom?" I spat out my drink laughing when I heard Asuka say that. Xiaoyu contributed more to the story as Jin's love interest than someone who shares the same last name as him.

Look how they massacred my girl.

As someone who has mained Jun & Asuka the most over games, the Yakushima part was a wasted plotential for Asuka. She should have been there with Xiayou. At the same time, since Jun is alive, there is potential she will learn more about the Kazama style. So I’m hopeful.

Asuka has no respect at all, she had so much potential but nope, she has the purification power, and nothing is done with it at all, every time she's on screen, it's just that damn Lili rivalry every time, what's the point of her even being a Kazama at this point, I'm pretty sure Namco just hates her

Asuka wouldn't necessarily have to just be an ideal "Kazama " into the story. I don't mind the Lily rivalry. But they could've at LEAST had her do something in regards to the Mishima bloodline feud ever since her Tekken 5 debut. Aside from the last name, she is no Kazama. Hell, Reina is a better example of what Asuka could've been. I feel this same way about the long forgotten Steve and Nina plot.

I'm so upset that they gave Lili an ending that didn't have Asuka in it, but Asuka had to be forced to be with Lili. Because Lili is now such a popular character, that she is allowed to have things going on outside of Asuka. But Asuka is still forced to exist only for Lili. It's so sad. Also, they couldn't replace Azucena with Asuka because all the fights are based on regions. Jin is the only representation for eastern Asia in the tournement. That's why Asuka and Hwoarang is sitting by the sidelines. That's also the reason why Shaheen is in the game, despite having nothing else happening in the story. Because they needed someone to represent the middle east.

It really is funny because this game establishes that Yakushima is the home island of the main branch of the Kazama family, meaning Asuka’s just part of a side branch (explains her lack of relevance so far) and this story of Jin going back to his family roots to find himself and unlock a newfound power really COULD have been a perfect opportunity to involve Asuka too having her learn more about their family roots along side him. But they really just do nothing with that and have Jin just go through a quick dream sequence while the rest of the cast do all the fighting til the very end.

Its easy Harada doesn't see Asuka potential she could be a better exorcist than Claudio

I hated how Asuka and Jin's familial ties were ripe and ready to be addressed and they fumbled with the ball. It's like the writers are taunting us.

What's worse is that we are given another out-of-the-blue Heihachi child (it took me a loong time to get used to Lars). Asuka could've filled a possible role that Reina is taking with a delightful twist.

The worst part is that, apart from Jun and Reina's inclusions, Jin, in story, now retains the Kazama style again and took almost Asuka's ENTIRE moveset.

Asuka: Lili, I have no character arc :( Lili: MMMMMMM, I AM YOUR CHARACTER ARC!!!!!

For context, Asuka (and Lili) made their debut in Tekken 5. I was in elementary school when that game released, I’m now damn near 30 years of age. I think I’ll finally be putting Asuka down for now. I know it seems a bit melodramatic, but I think this is the first time ever for me that I genuinely feel like I’ve outgrown a favorite character. There’s something so heartbreaking about the absolute mindfuck of existential realization that your go-to character means jack-squat to the person who created them. Fans of Asuka have only speculated and remained in the dark about worst case scenarios in the past, but Tekken 8 finally confirmed it and gave us all the closure most of us needed to move tf on. Coupled with the fact that her gameplay feels weird and oddly outdated…A catty schoolgirl rivalry isn’t going to entertain me forever if that’s all they have to offer narratively. She’s just so hollow, the character literally feels dead. You could replace her with any other character and nothing in the overall story would really change. She’s just-…there, like a ghost; even more so now that Jun, an ACTUAL ghost, has returned to the mainline games. Asuka’s unimportance and shallowness could not be more poetic, but maybe that’s just me over-exaggerating (it isn’t).

I feel Like not only Reina is there in Tekken 8 due to the main story and a new character, but is mostly saying a new tomboy as a way go replace Asuka since she's most likely irrelevant at this point

Ok so hear me out I think that if Asuka were more involved in T8, we wouldn't have the story as it is now; Jin wouldn't be the protagonist going on a journey of self-realization to fight his old man. It would be "oh hey Asuka somehow you're suppressing the Devil Gene, help me kick my old man into dust" and Jin would still be suicidal, among other things. It sucks, but T9 Asuka v Reina is now my copium. The men of the family have had their story threads resolved, now it's her turn.

Right now I'm fully convinced Lili is fully committed into actually sabotaging Asuka's life. She knows all about the Kazama family and is keeping Asuka from all that and now she is mingling with the only person who has defeated her sworn enemy and thus keeping him from teaching her how to defeat him. The only thing left is Lili actually defeating Feng Wei herself.

Not only is her character wasted, almost ALL the other characters are wasted

I'm disappointed but I'm not giving up hope for my girl. Naive I know but I really want to make her relevant. Her tekken 5 ending is still her best and I really want to do something with this. Maybe explore her relationship with Jun. See her father. Something. For me she should had heen rivals with Xiaoyu, because 1)Xiaoyu doesn't have a rival (how is that possible?) 2)Xiayou wants to save Jin while Asuka want to kick his ass for ruinning the Kazama name by starting World War 3 3) Their interactions and arguments about Jin if you could be redeem they could have been really interesting but this goes to a what if scenario. Lili doesn't do anything for Asuka in plot relevancy. Is just filler. I really hope they would cook with her in the future. THE POTENTIAL IS RIGHT THERE!!!

As many people have pointed out before Asuka vs Lili is just basically a bootled version of Sakura vs Karin. Harada really is a hack at writing.

Yeah i was thinking this Asuka is a big waste of potential. It hurts me because i really like her. Also even Lili has permission to have relationship with the other characters as we can see in many of the endings of the game, now Asuka can't never have a proper spotlight without Lili being involved. Is just sad at this point

Damn. Asuka just got overshadowed by her rival and Asuka came out before Lili did. And now, Reina is here. The Juri to Asuka's Chun Li and Reina is more plot relevant than her. I was genuinely surprised that Lili, of all people, got to join the semi finals and not Asuka. Lili has so much going for her (plotwise) compared to Asuka. Lili has connections to Eliza, Leroy, Azusena, Xiaoyu, and even Jin! 😂 Damn! When she offered her Jet to Jin, i was thinking "ok. Maybe this is how Asuka and Jin connect to Jun by going to the Kasama tree thing". NOPE! She peaces out to join the war plot. She didnt even get a chance to "avenge her father" by defeating Feng Wei. Truly devastating. A waste of a good plot and a good character.

I too had similar hopes when it seemed like Tekken 8 would finally give her the chance to be an important piece in the actual story of the Mishima feud. While I’m not as upset as you (and I imagine, many others), it still pains me that even her damn last name doesn’t even register as something to note in any way (other than a throwaway line by Hworang). Though I am a little happy they bothered to involve her at all, it doesn’t make up for the _decade_ of wasted potential.

And her whole beef with Feng is completely forgotten. Now Feng is always just a one dimensional, power-hungry villain, and Asuka is left completely irrelevant

Been maining Asuka and Lei for many years so Harada became my sworn enemy long time ago. One day I'll throw him off the cliff...

Bro, you put all my thoughts and frustrations into words in this video. Asuka is still my favorite character, but man the missed potential is baffling. I’ll still enjoy playing her in T8 even with all the nerfs, hopefully they’ll at least buff her a bit in the next updates.

Been waiting on someone to speak on this. Was severely disappointed seeing how she got treated in Tekken 8

litterally the whole tekken cast became a joke for the main story I've been a paul fan and i love how they made him a big deal in t4 of him winning tekken 3 before ogre transforms, to being sad over how he let himself go to an absolute joke character in tekken 5

Shes my favorite character for all the reasons, but I agree. There's so much that hasn't been answered since 2007, a morsel of a taste of progression would have been satisfying.

Yes this is the exact problem I have with asuka. I main her and I like her but I hate how irrelevant she is in the story. They don’t doing anything with her being a kazama. Wasted potential.

This. This said everything that needed to be said. You know what, yes I still do love her as much as before.

me after seeing Asuka's development: BOO/HISS!! the development can just remove her if they dont want to give her a big role.

tomboy in japanese videogames and anime: generic girl with short hair tomboy in western animation and games: vi (arcane), toph, nimona and márceline *iconic characters*

You think its bad with Asuka? Try being a Law fan. Law is treated like absolutely garbage. It's not even funny, just mean spirited.

Jin be meatriding on Reina's Mishima style, getting all wide-eyed and shit. But said nothing about Asuka having the same moveset as his mom's.

I will still love Asuka for the shallow reasons and also the fact she got done so dirty in The series and I feel sorry for her so I’ll support her until the Writers do something.

Asuka is Basically Sakura from SF😂

I guess her being somewhat friends with Lili is something even if it seems forced. Lili isn't as stalkerish in 8

Yeah, I agree. As a former Asuka fan, I told myself "what did you expect?" The characters stopped evolving since Tekken 6. As much as I enjoy the gameplay, story wise it´s embarrassing how flat and one dimensional most of them are (except when get a total story retcon like Heihachi in Tekken 7). It all feels like written for children, but also having fan service for people who played it since 1994. Asuka´s treatment in the story was bad, but it could have been worse. Just look at Law and Feng for example. Even Reina, who was hyped up to be this new dangerous Mishima is nothing more than a sequel bait. I´m just waiting for how they´ll screw Eddy over this time when he comes out.

I been saying this for years but Tekken needs to make a series and give every character a episode because they will never flush out a character fully because I do like asuka her story just feels blank like we know her and Jin are cousins but somehow asuka don’t know Jin&jun are related to her.

Me personally I wouldn't even mind if they ignored her story but kept her gameplay fine. Asuka got many nerfs with each iteration of the beta's up to the official release so the character we finally get is overall weaker than she was in T7. Ony reason I can think to nerf a character that's typically low or mid-tier, is to make JUN stand out even more which is just sad. I won't give up playing her because I'm character loyalist, but Namco is doing Asuka fans SO dirty and it hurts.

As a lili main , i too am upset with what we got for Asuka. She has so much potential for the story yet they wasted it. There are other characters like Azucena , Eliza , or even leroy but i still dont get why they are still stitching asuka to Lili everywhere. It's good that they are friends now but come on , give us some good main story relevance for Asuka. Getting tired of seeing this rivalry since the last 17 years. And what the heck happened to Asuka and Feng's rivalry ? They could've done that for Asuka's ending , so tired of seeing only Lili who has relation with Asuka.

To add insult to injury, Reina is effectively *everything* we thought or at least wanted Asuka to be: She has a complicated relation to Jin, she’s his aunt and younger than him. Whilst Harada said Jin and Asuka’s relations was more complicated than cousins. Both have an unusual connection to Jin’s power, one having a non-canon Angel/cleansing power of the Kazamas and the other canonically having a Devil form found in Mishima blood. Both are high schoolers, with Reina literally going to the same one as Jin. (Despite Jin being like 22 by the time of Tekken 8.) Hell they even look visually similar, especially in the face. When I first saw Reina I genuinely thought she was like a punk clone of Asuka, before finding out Heihachi just pulled an Old Man Jostar. And if all that wasn’t enough, Reina seems like she has a thing for Jin. (Or at least the writers supplied enough ammo for the degenerates between their unique dialogue and her ending…) Reina is like Harada said “What if we make Asuka relevant, but now she’s a Mishima instead of a Kazama?”

Ms. oui oui baguette just needs to leave & asuka will be ok lol. Lili's influence is too strong

Should have been an alternate story and would been connected with jins family as a lost cousin or lost sister. Now, im not impress. Uuuuuggggghhhhhhhh.

Haven't played it yet but apparently the story is still the same Mishima circlejerk that never really goes anywhere? 'Cause that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Ya as soon as she was announced I was like. Why tho she was designed to use Juns moveset and she’s back now.

It's a shame how Asuka has been nothing but an accessory for Lili, and her last bit of story relevance was her Tekken 5 ending They could've played into her being a Kazama, but no, she's just around to make Lili look good and as a beginner level moveset

As much as i am a lili main on my channel and that im happy lili had more presence than i expected in the story i do feel bad for asuka. I was hoping in the tekken 5 ending with her kazama purification power and somehow use it in tekken 8 but nope :/

Yea it feels like they are ruining her on purpose at this point. Always was a fan but never got super into her till 8 dropped. Tried her fell in love and redid her story beats in past games and 8. She has so much potential, lore and personality wise. Lili being linked to her ruined her potential. They can be rivals and not treat her like a comedy act. She could learn more about her family history at some point. Since Jin and Kazuya have no powers anymore. I would love if Asuka was the hope against Reina in the future games. Two female protagonists and give both especially Asuka which is needed hype and blow up for her character.

this video just this is exactly how I feel about Asuka in Tekken 8 I still love her and she's right under Jin for my fav fighting game characters, but man it feels like Lili paid the writers to take out Asuka's screentime and replace them with her own

They had amazing potential but fans couldnt let Jun go )

as an asuka bro, subscribed

Asuka is my favorites fighting hame female character of all times i wish she has more relevant at least a small amount of importance instead of being a foot note for lili

I feel you, man. Asuka has been my main for over 15 years since I played her in the PS3 version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online. But, it is tiring to see your favorite character's potential be wasted for 3 mainline games. I don't even hate Lili but her introduction pretty much spelled the doom for Asuka's character.

With what little knowledge I have of her, (I main Xiaoyu and Alisa for obvious reasons) I personally think the only way to redeem and progress her character is if she were to be Jin and Xiaoyu's offspring/s' master if they're aiming for a next generation thing with the next game. I personally would like it if the offspring/s' admire Jin and Xiaoyu so much as they have a perfect blend of their moveset as their moveset. Asuka would only be there to hone it and guide them on their chosen path. Wouldn't even mind it if they were to get her accent, due to how frequent they will possibly be with her. 🧐 Considering how she finally got her familiy dojo at the end, this is the only way I can see them redeeming her character. I quite like her mainly because of the accent, but yeah. Her character is overall disappointing considering how little involvement she has with Jin. HER FRICKING COUSIN, for god's sake!

Asuka's my main besides nina and i wish there was more on both. Honestly the fact that the only reason Asuka was probably in the story at all was because lili dragged her onto her plane.

Asuka is my favorite heroine. I love her fiercy tomboyish personality and kind pure heart. I hate what devs did to her! She had sooooo much potential that was wasted! I was so furious with her ending in t7, but t8 I give up on her. I'm a girl and Asuka meant for me as a role model: don't give up, be kind and just, don't be afraid to stand against your family member (Jin Kazama). Yes, I also think she and Jin could have great chemistry as cousins or siblings (I ship them deep in my heart, in better universe they wouldn't be relatives but best couple). Devs don't care about her and I have to leave her. There is also a game for pachislot I guess where Jin saves Asuka from Kazuya! Kazuya tried to kill Asuka because of her relations to Jun Kazama but Jin saves the day giving up for revenge! When I saw it my awe was huge! In this game Jin and Asuka not only interact but also in action together! That was amazing even though Asuka had to be damsel in distress in that scene.

I knew I wasn’t the only one pissed with this major pothole between asuka and Jin I finally thought something was gonna be addressed in the jet but no nothing it is as if harrada is saving something for the next game hopefully but probably getting trolled 🤣

I find it extremely stupid when they turned Asuka into Lili's catfight rival when Asuka was supposed to be hunting down Feng Wei since Tekken 5!

Asuka my favorite. You can like a character without them being as important as jin or lars. Plenty other characters like paul dont plsy major roles in story and odfer side story snd dun moments.

All facts couldn't agree more W rant

Bro... I'm wondering when you're going to make that Asuka fanfiction...

I hate how Tekken did Asuka and I don't think she will ever have a good role. but after playing with her (pause) for over 15 years, she will forever be my favorite character.

I don't claim to be a Tekken fan (mainly because I never played the series myself). Regardless, Asuka's design is adorable (not sure if this constitutes as a shallow reason?). If it makes you feel better, I dislike that Kano ends up being a Kameo in MK1 while lacking a mustache.

Make Asuka better Namco! It's not too late. If she was associated with Ridge Racer, that would've been dope! Just imagine...she's better than Jin in racing and he's trying to figure out how she's able to nullify the devil gene and obtain that power for himself This ability is so impressive that it catches Jun's attention and she's trying to make her the next big peacekeeper and Asuka would be like "nah, imma do my own thing".

I feel the same way

My copium is that she'll be Reina's rival in T9.

This video is hilarious because everything you said is on point 😂😂😂

Ive never found any of the character endings that great so if they ever get rid of them i won't complain.....ive also only played 3 of the games lol

I really thought she was gonna have a big role when i saw her in tekken 5 since she is a Kazama. She is still my main until now but keep in mind, my last game was 6 and i jumped straight to 8 and skipped the recap of 7.

My problem with Tekken 8 so far was the plot wasn’t distributed equally very well and it felt too rushed. We all get it that the rivalry between Mishima is about to end on this same installment but for crying out loud the suspense of the plot just killer off quicker than Warcrat III’s storymode! And that’s my problem With Asuka Kazama, I WAS expecting her to at least do something or at least become a Frodo moment for Jin Kazama, but nope she just acted like Harada made her into a useless NPC. She’s just there to act like a bodyguard as Lili’s rival lackie. And all that beautiful ideal storyline is only seen in the Pachinko Slot machine! Jin rescued Asuka there for once and it didn’t happened neither here. She’s totally wasted.

I mean I was agreeing with your video on Asuka but talking shit about Lars? Nah that’s an L there. Show some respect to the underrated MVP! My man is a REAL hero with a good heart!

yuri baits are disgusting and should not exist in fighting games

Great Internet art I agree but I never really cared for her. I wanted to see Miguel and Julia to make a return. Bruce, maybe even the return of combot only that he can only fighting styles of characters that are deceased or not present in the current game. And where's angel and lei? Also shouldn't there been an option to choose sides?

not familiar with Tekken but a friend said he didn't like this version/release (tho he didn't tell why) but seeing your video, I can see why some might not like it I understand the feeling when they mess up the writing/characterization of a favorite character (me with Denji and the Chainsaw man tourists), its frustrating and how much more if it's the creator/s of that character

Yep its been confirmed she is not blood related to Jin decades ago

Ok, so I agree, I would’ve loved to see Asuka have some story relevance, have something with her Kazama blood, but Lars isn’t a bad character. He’s a badass

Yeah. It's sad at this point. Can't even debate it.

Couldn't say any better. You got a sub. Not that you needed it.

You know, I think it won't hurt if Jun didn't return and let Asuka play a bigger part in T8

the only thing they gave us about asuka.... is more Asuka x Lily fanservice sh*t

unless we let Harada notice this problem,Asuka should not be wasted as a decoration with only the last name of Kazama

The actual in game graphics look better than the cutscenes

Replacing Lili with Asuka in the tournament really wouldn't make sense. Aside from the tea vs coffee meme, finalists are all grouped by geographical location. If she were in the tournament, she'd have to lose to Jin in the preliminary. That still would've been more than we got though.

Yoshimitsu is best girl

Last tekken game I played was 7, all the content I was seeing in tekken 8 didn't hype me up one bit. I was more interested in watching someone stream tekken 8 story mode to see what direction they were going to go with the tekken characters but honestly they could done better with the game 😂.
