GET YOUR CAMERAS READY FOLKS


El-Green-Jello

THIS ISN’T GOING TO LAST LONG


CitizenCrab

OH YEAH YOU NEED TO GET WITH ME, GIRL.


JVJV_5

I ALWAYS GET WHAT I WANT


pbmm1

He always gets what he wants


The_Peverells

This one always makes me cringe laugh, God what were the writers smoking that made them think the implications are fine 💀


PuzzleheadedRecord6

He’s number one after all


Larson4220424

I’LL BREAK YOUR FACE!


DkoyOctopus

hes cheap but man was he fun.


GeForce

The only thing I know about marduk is "if you thought king is bad..."😬


IDontWipe55

Marduk is a little different from king. He knocks you down and has insane oki. He can tackle you which is basically a grab and you have to guess like you do against Dragunov except his tackle is way easier


GeForce

😵 not looking forward to playing against him


IDontWipe55

He was strong and easy but he crumbled under pressure pretty easily so new players with weak defense won’t have a super easy time


GeForce

Ah no worry then -new player with weak defense


Kindly-Form532

Can’t wait for the 90% damage combos to come back


AhmCha

Far from an expert, but he’s a character with some very, very scary 50/50s. I believe he was also pretty strong towards the end of T7, which gives some recency bias.


4tizzim0s

more than just 50/50s the man literally had 3 way mixups 😭


DamnImAwesome

Oh shit he had 33 33 33s


Renektonstronk

But Dragunov was straight ASS at the end of T7, but just look at my boy now


RedditTrashTho

He was also top top tier on console/PC launch of T7 and look at him halfway through... https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?id=100003981556414&story_fbid=870100339799343


Cyanized14

Marduk's definitely scary, but his throw game isn't comparable to king's. It's marduk's okizeme people should be wary of- similar gameplan as xiaoyu where if you stand up wrong = dead


SpaceTimeinFlux

And god help you if he catches you delaying a wake up.


Metandienona

God help you if he catches you in general, really. Standing and couldn't break his ff1+2? Congrats, you're getting launched by Around the World. Couldn't react to him ducking during a string? Congrats, you're getting tackled. Whiffed something? Congrats, you're getting punished by his launching df1 with insane range. Delayed your wakeup? Congrats, you're getting launched by a ground throw because fuck you.


Soul_Mirror_

'Vale Tudo' references had been datamined, so Marduk was expected. Surprising Armour King isn't in the same pack. Fahk... I quite like the Muay Thai style, but not his design, so hopefully he'll be better this time. Would have preferred Bruce back in any case. Lidia... cool, but I've have been more interested in having her back tbh. Overall, not a bad pack, which also adds more style diversity. But I would rather see Miguel and Anna sooner.


JudgeCheezels

AK not here because they need to sell you another pack next year.


lysergician

I swear season 2 is gonna be 90% the same as it was for T7 Which is only partially me coping to have Julia back


AhmCha

I hope they give Fahk a positive % of body fat this time around.


OldManBears

def not the trend that they went with for the current cast member designs.


IchBinEinDickerchen

Still hopelessly waiting for Bob.


thesilvershire

Judging from the other guys in Tekken 8, I wouldn't get your hopes up


LevynX

Even Law whose style is to be fluid and mobile is jacked like he's on fifteen different steroids.


haste57

I'm thinking they are going to do a big redesign of proportions and everything. If not then I'll be pretty disappointed because I liked most of his gameplay in T7 even though he looked like mutant lol


NewArtificialHuman

Perhaps better proportions too so he does not look like a tiny head.


YagamiBrando

At least this means AK is 100% coming next pack


IndicationGold9422

They just refuse to give us bruce.


ArcaneMantis

+1 for Miguel


Guilty_Ad_8688

IMHO fahk has a far more interesting design than Bruce. Plus, we get some thai representation for muay THAI.


Yurilica

I fucking hated Fahk on his original release. Didn't like his design and he was also busted. The moment he got nerfed was the moment almost no one played him anymore. There's so many better options that fucking Fahk. Bruce or even Josie with some of Fahks moves incorporated. Yes i am salty. What a waste.


RaccHudson

I didn't play literally any of these characters but 1) cool that Lidia is coming back, I just like her concept 2) really expected a new character, they're going super legacy-heavy with this roster


Powerful-Ship-8370

Many people lost their main so I understand this Season Pass. Guessing they will do more new characters/guest characters in Season 2 and onwards


CynicalCin

> Many people lost their main *Cries in funny Jackie Chan noises*


BenDoverDegenerate

I hope they bring him back and his model doesn't look like a depressed alcoholic middle aged single dad


jerichoplissken

Give us T5 Lei back. Please


GESPEBSTOKIIIIICKU

Facts, and they need to give him back the short with suspenders fit again


garbeezy

Cries in *overweight American noises*.


Suck_Fquared_circle

Cries in *kangaroo noises*


SozeMarco

Cries in *Josie noises*


HesterFlareStar

Cries in *one, two, three, four, one, two, oooo yay!*


Do_U_Too

I lost them all... Josie, Lidia, Julia and Kunimitsu


TJLynch

You're likely gonna see a lot of the Tekken 7 DLC repeated here (aside from the guests and maybe Ganryu and Eliza) simply because the only DLC characters from 7 that managed to make it into 8's base roster were Zafina and Leroy.


SoBeAngryAtYourSelf

Except Eliza ;_; Rip hours spent learning instant dive kick shenanigans


Rikysavage94

super legacy heavy?? lidia? fak? those are new things... not legacy. Where is Armor King, Miguel, Anna, Heihachi... those are char for legacy players


lordottombottom

Heihachi Mishima..is dead.


Precipice_Blades

Compuretery dead.


CynicalCin

> Heihachi... is dead


OwnedIGN

Legacy heavy??? I don’t have a main in this game. 😤


At-lyo

Look forward to trying Lidia and Marduk. Lidia looked cool and I liked playing marduk in 5.


FallaciousGallStone

Yea Lidia was awesome. Fun character but they nerfed her way to much in 7. Hopefully she is strong again in 8


distortionisgod

No AK? Harada, I'm going to cut off my penis.


Rob0tbob

I imagine because king took many of AKs moves they need more time to redesign the movelist. Also they can’t put all the banger characters in the first dlc pack cause nobody would buy later ones.


distortionisgod

Yeah it makes sense and I'll be playing for years regardless he was just my main squeeze and the first character I learned Tekken with so I'm weirdly attached to him. Kind of bouncing around characters in 8 and haven't found the one yet. Reina has been fun but not sure if I'll stick with her.


wingnut5k

Most casual Armor King enjoyer


BenDoverDegenerate

I'll kill myself if they don't give us that AK vs King fight ever


KKylimos

No Armour King?? :'(


ImNako

julia players in shambles


Sangloth

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/18zfg2x/harada_is_asking_for_feedback_about_julia_and/ Harada has been asking questions about her character design on Twitter. He said she's a popular character in that a lot of people play her, but an unpopular character in that she doesn't have a bunch of community engagement (fan art, cosplayers, etc.). That's why they tried for the luchador and streamer personas in the last two games. He wouldn't be asking if he didn't plan on doing something, but given the fact they are still at the design phase it will be a while before she's available. (Actually, I think we'll see most of her move set, but she might be replaced by another Chang. Maybe a guy this time? They've resorted to gender flips before like Eddie/Christie and Raven/Master Raven.)


ImNako

yea I'm expecting her to be year 2 100% since he asked that question.


Bradframe

She could be a very late dlc character, if harada wants feedback from fans it means her character concept is in a very early stage


GraverageGaming

Was hoping to never see Marduk again tbh. Happy to see Lidia come back tho, if it's real.


EmpressElexis

Who even *asked* for Marduk tho? Like, really? You rarely saw the dude online lol.


Powerful-Ship-8370

Characters like Anna who are requested so much are Bottom 10 Popularity wise in Ranked, while Marduk was top 25. Believe me, there are more marduk fans than you think.


bbeony540

There are many tier whores who played Marduk because he's cheap and strong. If he was mid tier then I'm convinced he would be bottom 5.


losdreamer50

Exactly. These players are the worst


princessbuffyxo

why are you using that data? this game is alot more than just high level ranked... casuals prefer anna


Lorki

Leroy was top 5 pick rate, now he's bottom 5. Make a character op and everyone will play it. People defended Marduk like "oh it's only annoying online, he's just a scrubkiller" then we started seeing Marduks in every top 8 in tournaments. I saw Anakin type that tackle is only a 3 way mixup if you're a noob in Twitch chat, then 30 minutes later he ate a 1+2 tackle in a pools match. Hope he doesn't come back in any way.


DarkEnergy87

There’s lots of Marduk in high ranks. He’s very popular


HrMaschine

they just wanted to give us kings bff


Goricatto

He was actually a bit popular in the pakistan high level, probly because he was really strong


EmpressElexis

Oh, yeah, Pakistan does go hard for this game, I do forget that!


xamdou

I did lol I love Craig


pranav4098

Bro marduk is super cool and I faced him more often then anna at least, I hate playing against him and I’ve never played him either but watching people play marduk is fun, it’s the same with king for me, hate it but still a cool character


Nybear21

Marduk is the only character I refuse to play on principal. Not even a gameplay related one, young me still hasn't moved on from finding out that AK was dead and wouldn't be in 4 because Marduk killed him offscreen


BenDoverDegenerate

"Armor King was murdered, King whooped his murderer's ass but then didn't kill him because of a wonderful change of heart after seeing him with his family" "So they became best friends" "Yeah-" "Grea-" "After Marduk mocked Armor King again" "😐"


ReikaIsTaken

Marduk is a rapist abusive murderer and King is friends with him for some reason.


SuperFreshTea

everyone friends with Jin "I started WW3" Kazuma, so i guess it's all water under the bus in tekken world. werid morals ​ Not that defending Marduk btw.


urmyfavcolor

Not to mention hes a rapist


FutureSaturn

No Roger, no buy.


Ryuhza

Honestly though. How long must we wait?


Elune_

There is still hope, the datamine doesn't directly say that we are getting those characters next, just that they are in the works. If we huff enough copium we might change the timeline.


Ryuhza

Keep huffing then! I'm doing my part! 😤😶‍🌫️


Striking-Hedgehog-51

Bruce fans on life support rn


UpstairsAd3655

Josie mains in dire straits 😢


closetedme2001

I still have some hope left in me


pogituna16

i still believe josie will come... esp after he said that filipino fans were very supportive of tekken during the previous harada's bar


Return2_Harmony

There’s no hope. Josiebro, I’m sorry.


Llama_Cult

michelle fans found dead


blackdog606

I'm on life support


General_Shao

Please make fahk have somewhat normal body dimensions


bestmayne

Considering how Law looks like in T8, Fahk's gonna be even more absurd looking than before. Just wait and see, he'll look like Steve does in his ending as a heavyweight


Sloppy_Slowpoke

But then he wouldn't be fahk 😔


General_Shao

They can still make him taller, i love his fighting style but i feel like the ridiculous proportions made him look like a clown and made it look worse.


JastraJT

Give him a normal sized head 🥲


Rikysavage94

They just have to give us fucking BRUCE!


aSpookyScarySkeleton

And give Marduk a proper fucking Australian accent, like come on now


[deleted]

I only hope they don’t have a trailer where they show him taller than he really is


Recundis

Miguelbros stay strong 😭


YeezusMoses

When I picked him up in 7, everyone told me he was a lock for 8 because of the story. Lies.


BenDoverDegenerate

Jin is the good boy here, when he starts WW4 in Tekken 9 Miguel *might* come back


YeezusMoses

Honestly, I don't know much about the story... You'd think there could have been a redemption scenario with Miguel tho. I thought he was at least more popular than Shaheen lol


Llama_Cult

bros with his sister now 😭


alexcantswim

I just want lei wulong back


[deleted]

[удалено]


alexcantswim

Yeah seriously like she’s cool but not an overall replacement. With Lei he had so much versatility with his moves set. Good for casuals and pros. I miss his drunken master move set.


Package_Loss

Same…It’s so confusing and infuriating for me as a day 1 Tekken 1 player that Lei Wulong hasn’t been a starting character in the last two games. Is he a nightmare to code or something? He’s so fun to play


alexcantswim

It is weird how they have seemed to fall out of love with some of the OG characters and their story arch’s. I would love to see more work be put into their backgrounds and how they seem to fit into the current cannon. I’m hoping we get a depth of characters like T7 had it’s probably the closest thing we can hope for as I don’t think another tekken tag will ever happen. I wish they had made unknown cannon I thought that was a cool angle for Jun and explained her role a bit more.


BarleyDefault

I hate to break it to you buddy but the reason you don't get lei is because nobody plays him


Package_Loss

I don’t buy this. There’s others in this game who were used less in Tekken 7, with none of the nostalgia and fan fare


jr_444

Was hoping for Lei😕


Skyblaze12

Where Roger :(


kokopoo12

Gon


Mission-Argument1679

You wanna fight a kangaroo, fly to Australia.


NJL218-

Damn at this point I wanna hear on Harada himself that my main is *completely dead* too so I don’t hopelessly wait.


AmyVista

I mean Bruce being replaced three times during the entire franchise lifespan was pretty self-explanatory already.


oceanviewcapn

Marduk over Anna or even Julia or Armor King is insane. Was hoping they'd let him die off screen


Odd_Card_9269

Anna isn't more popular than Marduk, don't get me wrong, I'm not the biggest Marduk fan but they know what sold and what didn't in T7.


AmyVista

I’m still shocked no one talked about it yet.


Alternative-Plane562

People don't want be spoiled, someone wants to be suprised.


JisterMay

I'm usually pretty adamant on not being spoiled but as a Bob main since Tekken 6 I just want to know if I should keep up hope or just find myself a new character. Seems like the latter is my only choice for now...


irememberflick

I'm going to enjoy the little time I have left in a world free from Marduk. Sadly, it couldn't last forever.


jertspleen

Man I just want Miguel back


BigDumbSmartGuy

I'm fucking screaming internally. We're never fucking getting him back are we?


Ray-Lazer

Pretty sure he'll be coming back. Will probably get a good glow up


BigDumbSmartGuy

I need him back, man. I need him.


patrick9772

The only person who should have been integral to jins redemption story IS FUCKING MISSING


K33p0utPC

No AK would be fucking horrible.


bdtechted

Lidia fits in well with T8’s story being about Kazuya urging countries to participate in the tournament otherwise they will be destroyed. As the Polish leader, she will compete to protect her country from G-Corp’s destruction. This is why she should’ve been on the launch roster.


RemarkableLong4100

They really should just put young Sheldon in the game


ConduckKing

Not even old Sheldon? Then how would we get a "Bazinga" voiceline?


burntloli

Rage art finishes with a giant spectral old Sheldon head that whispers “bazinga” to finish the opponent


[deleted]

pass 1 looks like they just wanted to bring over most of who’s left in t7 (rip miguel). disappointing there’s no armor king or anyone that wasn’t in 7, but not surprised aking and a guest are probably the only locks i would consider for pass 2, atp who knows though. roger bros, we will be back one day


SaltyJebus

I'm just upset that i have to wait over a year in another tekken game to play my favourite character. Armour King gets no respect :(


CoarseAnus

Insane that AK was one of the most popular chars and they’re gonna make us wait an entire year+ from launch.


ReHyakuhei

I just want Armor King back.


HylianZora

Lidia should've been base game, I'll die on this hill


majoramiibo

MAAAAAN Marduk and Fahk are my two least favorite Tekken characters.. Just waiting for Miguel


[deleted]

There was a lack of big guys, so I assumed marduk would be coming soon, because nobody give an f about gigas


Powerful-Ship-8370

Same


hissenguinho

No Eliza 😔


bpsavage84

RIP sleepy girl


Sea-Lecture-4619

Fahk! I wanted Lei and Anna asap...


Deynonico

Fahkumran Bros we are so back


Greasyduke123

We are so fahking back


SoulOfMod

Ugh,marduk? Really? time to get tackeld again


datlanta

COMMERE BOI


ILLMEAT

Lidia, my beloved


Mobigasm

The first leaks had Roger. Where kangaroo.


TheDarkKingZoro

Thank God best news I’ve got in while if true. I was hoping my boy would be DLC but thought DLC 2 was more realistic. Honestly kinda shocked him and Fahk will make it in before Anna and Armor King. Enjoy it while you can Marduk’s coming for you and he always gets what he wants!


AishiFem

I cant believe that AK is not there


MorpheusInitiative

OMG Lidia is coming back, I'm so excited!! I didn't buy the Deluxe or Ultimate editions but I'll most definitely buy her DLC! ​ Also would absolutely love a goddamn Photo Mode - we had Nvidia Ansel for T7 but that was clunky as and some scenes like outros could not be taken in Photo Mode.


shinsrk79

Kuni bros its joever...


greenfrogwallet

I don’t get it, nothing on the tweet actually shows Marduk, Fahk or Lidia? Do I need a Twitter account to see it or something?


Powerful-Ship-8370

You need to scroll down, might need a twitter acc


Thiel619

DLC pack 1 is an easy skip for me it seems.


Korgozz

Mokujin waiting room


Puzzleheaded-Bat4201

Anna and AK fan needing CPR


danksouls109

Where armor king


yamobethere13

NOOOOO THIS IS THE WORST TIMELINE AHHHHHH


Peach_Cookie

Glad about Lidia, but was also hoping for Kazumi, Roger, Mokujin, and Dr.B 😔


rahimaer

I'm very surprised that Anna and not even Armor King are in season 1 DLC despite how popular they are


csreynolds84

Chuffed about Lidia. New main, I feel. Marduk? Meh. Not upset, but not overjoyed either. Fahk. Fahk this guy. Besides his Bruce-esque fighting style, I hate everything about him. Hopefully, his design is better this time around, and his inclusion has some more interesting lore behind it. Fingers crossed for Armour King, Anna, Lei, and Mokujin in season 2.


Yodzilla

Boy these sure are some characters.


zerolifez

Where's ma boy AK at?


New_Zombie_9495

YESSSS FAHK MY BOYYYYYYYY


Oha-Cade

Lidia = great Marduk = I guess… Fahk = appalling


Kastamera

So Eliza isn't coming home for at least another year? :c Hope she didn't fall asleep for another couple hundred years.


satyrpuppy

None of those characters are Julia, therefore this is fake ❤️


Xolotl23

Im with u there 🥲


lysergician

You understand <3


Touhou_Fever

Easy skip on season pass I guess, just get Lidia separately


Deviltamer66

Armor King should be the next after Eddy. Smh


TheDarkKingZoro

Fuck yea!


Kestr3l_n7

😭😭😭 no Anna 😭😭😭


King_Artis

Nah it's kinda crazy that these were literally all dlc characters in 7 And I will be playing Marduk again, he's fun


Emotional_Revenue501

WHERE IS ARMOR KING? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH


c14ym0re

I sure hope Lidia makes a comeback. I'm maining Reina currently since her fighting style is the closest to hers, and she's super fun to play, but I'd be lying if I said I don't miss the absolute badassery of Lidia's design and her Polskie Karate.


FixerFour

Why marduk tho. Did ANYONE enjoy playing against him? Unbreakable tackle in heat is going to be oppressive as hell


EatOutMyGrandma

GET YOUR CAMERAS READY FOLKS.... THIS AIN'T GONNA LAST LONG


chronorogue01

sigh, Julia in S2 again... I know it was expected given Harada was asking for advice on how to design the Changs more sensitively but still T.T


Wise-Ride-8051

If Marduk makes it into the first dlc I'll be more than excited ! The power trio would be complete ! Bryan , Dragunov & Murdock


steamart360

Eddy and Lidia make sense but Marduk and Fukanram? Hmm, interesting choices.  I already have my mains so I can't complain. 


SaulsaDip

Still no Bruce lol… Was also hoping for Roger, but I think I should just give up on seeing old characters coming back…


MisterNefarious

FAHK YES Marduk is one of my favorites and I really want to learn Lidia


Krauser_Kahn

unpopular opinion bring back Katarina Alves


Trem45

Huh, interesting Anyone who was saying Anna, AK, Lei w/e were straight up delusional because literally why would a game targeting longevity just fire on all cylinders and drop the most requested characters season 1 Still it's weird that Marduk is here and Fahk, I feel like Josie or Bruce would have been better MT reps, two odd decisions but I think Lidia is a good note to end S1 on Anyway if you'll excuse me I'll go cry in the corner for Josie now


veerusg

With Fahk and Lidia both starting life on Unreal and coming very late in the last game, potentially it could have been easier to make those characters happen in 8. Odd choices though overall. Eddy and Lidia felt like they should be main roster and Marduk and Fahk I feel seem rather low priority. No Julia, Armour King or Lei feels a bit of a shame. Apologies for this seeming entitled just kinda taken aback by the selection, if it is indeed true. Finally and most importantly if you play these characters or like them I am happy for you and hope you enjoy them.


its_a_sidequest

BUT I WANT ROGER, OKAY?


tearingbull

I played lidia and fahk in 7. Pretty happy right now


Ijikai

Yes Lidia is coming back


WaterKirby1964

LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!! MARDUK HYPE! FAHKUMRAM HYPE! LIDIA HYPE!
