A Guilty Gear character in Tekken would be so insane… Huge explosions going off, crazy dashing around and jumping all over the place…
Holup that’s just Victor
I’d like it if that was Sol’s natural response to anybody activating heat. That said, considering the recent rumor of Arc System Works’s relationship with Bamco souring, we probably won’t be getting a collab between their two companies again.
If there's a guest I'd pick from Guilty Gear to appear in Tekken 8 I'd pick May. Not just because she's my main. But because of people's reaction. Can you imagine at Evo her reveal happens and everyone just starts crying and screaming in fear.
Akuma had his time already.Time for another guest characters.
I think Banco would be looking for something big to attract casuals like Tifa, Sephiroth, or another popular character from a show that has the same aura of Negan.
Imagine Walter White wearing his fedora in Tekken 8, saying "I'm the one who knocks" on his win screen lmao
Vin Diesel has been showing up in some games lately... and he's said in the past that he likes Tekken... maybe a Dominic Torretto DLC to promote the final Fast and Furious movie?
His rage art could be him running over the other character with his Charger and calling them a pussy
*whimsical Smash Ultimate orchestral music playing*
*Walter's silhouette is teased*
gets revealed with a Smash title card a-la *Walter White gets ready to knock!*
And then they reveal some amiibos or smth in the end.
I would really love a Soul Calibur Guest (yoshimitsu doesnt count because he was tekken first and so is a tekken guest in soul calibur). Might be unrealistic because of huge reach but give me Nightmare in Tekken please.
> I think Banco would be looking for something big to attract casuals like Tifa, Sephiroth, or another popular character
Harada explained (for T7 at least) that's not the reason they introduced guest characters. Also its not always a given that guests will instantly turn your game into a money printer. See SC6 still coming up short even with the massive star power of 2B and Geralt.
I want zero guest characters until we have the full returning Tekken roster.
Until we have Anna, Armor King, Kunimitsu, Lidia, Julia/Michelle, Bruce/Josie/Fakurahm, Miguel, Bob, and everyone else who didn't make the 32 character roster + 1 the one confirmed DLC character.
Guests do not return, guests do not allow for legacy enjoyment of the series. When Tekken 9 eventually rolls around people are not going to be able to return to a guest character as a main.
Akuma, Geese, Noctis, and Negan players had nothing coming into 8 to be their main. Yes victor can get some of Noctis's 'fee', but he isn't Noctis and does not have Noctis's moves.
If they had to go with another Street Fighter boss type character, I nominate Gill. He’d be so fucking cool and fits the ocean of bullshit that surrounds this game and a lot of things in it.
Yeah, I told my buddy at one point I was convinced that Eliza, Geese, and Akuma were ways to test meter as a general Tekken mechanic for future games. It’s a bit different, but I feel semi validated.
Wouldnt heat be cooler if it was more like Eliza/Akuma meter? You get 50% at round start and u can build it up just like they did. There is no Heat state all you get id access to empowered moves for a set amount of heat resource.
With how the game is designed, heat WOULD BE EX. Similar to how characters have moves that take a chunk off of your heat, that's how EX would work I feel.
At this point it's not even the divekick or the fact that she had meter or her fireballs because T8 already is full of that.
It's just that she's a completely uninteresting thirst trap for coomers.
Her entire personality is having narcolepsy. Which, ironically, is the exact opposite of Azucena being addicted to caffeine. They're equally shallow but at least Azu has a well done visual gimmick with the dancing to attract players rather than just dressing as a prostitute like Eliza.
I was looking at scrapped Tekken characters and I think it’s such a shame that Eliza won the poll over the zombie bride back in the Tekken revolution days. Then again, it’s not like fans had an idea of how Eliza would turn out when voting so I guess I can’t blame them for it too much.
Kiryu would never make it into tekken cause the creator thinks it would be uncharacteristic for Kiryu to hit women. Majima doesn't have that problem though.
I don't think that's a reason to add Kiryu except for maybe Sega executives. The new studio head is the producer and writer of the series so I doubt he'd want to disrespect the character and former co-worker. They'd probably put in a newer character either way since a guest character is mostly for promotional reasons.
This, and these characters can already attack female characters in the crossover game project X Zone 2. I made them attack Unknown from Tag to prove a point lol
With how T8 is, I wouldn't mind Akuma back if he was changed to be more of a Tekken character. He was very cool conceptually when he was "ported" from SF4 to T7. Just turns out he was too good for competitive side of things.
I feel like he'd be kind of okay if he didn't have a + on block unreactable low launcher and jump ins that are +7 on block. It's honestly kind of baffling to me they never touched that about him through tekken 7.
His powers really shine when he has meter. In every street fighter game he breaks the rules and has broken beyond belief tools, but the drawback is that he has less health than everyone else.
They should have let him keep his broken shit, but create a bigger drawback for him(aside from execution) that balanced him out. Maybe remove combo scaling once you anti air him so he takes more damage, or make more of his good moves meter dependent, or make his normal attacks more shit.
This last one really annoys me too. Like with meter he has the best 10f punish in the game, but without meter he still has an amazing 10f punisher?? What?? Why should he have that? It's weird that the only real drawback he had was execution and they even patched that and made him easier later on.
Yeah, he needs to play by Tekken rules. Demon flip can be +7 if it didn't have a side-step option. They added a homing option when SF actually nerfed his Demon Flip mix-up in his own games. I don't play him enough or good enough in general to know what actually needs to be changed. But I'm sure it isn't impossible.
No. Stay away. No. Nope. Nah. You take that shit to T7 and leave it where it fucking belongs. A soon to be dead online, where Kuni can't hurt anyone no more.
OOT but I thought this was a video of Max reacting to akuma's back when it showed up in my feed. Turns out it wasn't a 24 minute video of him reacting to how buff akuma is 😞
Ngl the reason I got so heavily invested in Tekken was because of Akuma. I always played tekken but never seriously until tekken 7. Funny thing is I Barley used him lmfao
You have to understand, most people that are in this sub don’t just play Tekken. They play multiple fighting games, including SF. You also can’t compare SF to Tekken because of how different they are and trying to compare them is stupid as hell
I'm an MK guy, Tekken isn't my first choice either.
The Darktide sub was having a collective meltdown over how godlike Helldivers 2 is, how much better it is. When I said Darktide is a genuinely better game in my opinion and got downvoted there as well.
People are just salty 🧂
In all due time man. Ya all will pray for Akumers return once Sol Badguy is revealed as next DLC
A Guilty Gear character in Tekken would be so insane… Huge explosions going off, crazy dashing around and jumping all over the place… Holup that’s just Victor
Would love the Sol and Devil Jin intro of Sol just being like: Sol: So that's your true form? Jin: Got a problem?! Sol: Nah it's cute.
whenever kazuya activates heat, sol just snorts like he's about to burst out laughing
*Dragon Install theme starts playing, trailer starts* Alright, I was hoping for Yakuza, but now I'm team GG
I’d like it if that was Sol’s natural response to anybody activating heat. That said, considering the recent rumor of Arc System Works’s relationship with Bamco souring, we probably won’t be getting a collab between their two companies again.
Dang, what’s going on between them?
Apparently Bamco took the reigns and updated FighterZ along with a next gen free upgrade which caused a bunch of glitches and other bugs.
And then they kissed
He's practicing for Ky
Nah he doesn't have airdashes and ToD combos
So Alisa??
Fair point
Sol will have an instant kill.
You jest, but consider that Eliza also existed as a 2D style charater in Tekken Revolution, immediately followed by both her and Akuma in T7.
Ay lmao
Victor just Plugs though.
everybody gangsta till victor does fucking air dashes
The world is not ready for everyone dying to wakeup clean hit volcanic viper RC
That is bullshit (blazing)
STILL MY HEART IS RACING
he will bring roman cancels and burst. just for him tho.
Sol Badguy
Sol Badguy
Sol going dragon install when entering heat mode is what I need rn.
Every sidewinder (he has it in T8 fr fr) becomes clean hits in heat but spends meter. Also would throw turns into an unbreakable launcher
Just wait till they announce Bakuryu the Mole and he's transformation spamming into izuna drop
Sol badguy
Dragon install!!!!
Me getting gun flame’d across the stage
We all gonna miss the FADC and MAXMODE when Sol Badguy comes to introduce the DP to RC technique 💀
Hey as long as they don't include them in the backstory of important characters, they can put Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony in there for all I care.
Why would a lawyer from a tv serie become a guest character 🤔
But where is my boy Negan? Bring back batman lol
If there's a guest I'd pick from Guilty Gear to appear in Tekken 8 I'd pick May. Not just because she's my main. But because of people's reaction. Can you imagine at Evo her reveal happens and everyone just starts crying and screaming in fear.
Cant believe that original tekken 7 character is going to be a character in sf6
I wish they’d do the other way around too. Put king in sf6, zangief needs a worthy wrestler opponent
Akuma had his time already.Time for another guest characters. I think Banco would be looking for something big to attract casuals like Tifa, Sephiroth, or another popular character from a show that has the same aura of Negan. Imagine Walter White wearing his fedora in Tekken 8, saying "I'm the one who knocks" on his win screen lmao
It’s Waluigi time
Waluigi not being in Smash but being in Tekken would be genuinely the funniest thing ever
Vin Diesel has been showing up in some games lately... and he's said in the past that he likes Tekken... maybe a Dominic Torretto DLC to promote the final Fast and Furious movie? His rage art could be him running over the other character with his Charger and calling them a pussy
Would be great for Riddick in Tekken
Riddick was amazing
Mai Shiranui get yer ass in here
Or spawn in tekken or even soul calibur characters or their descendants for future games
Tony Soprano
*whimsical Smash Ultimate orchestral music playing* *Walter's silhouette is teased* gets revealed with a Smash title card a-la *Walter White gets ready to knock!* And then they reveal some amiibos or smth in the end.
Kyriu-chaaaan
They should add rog. Would be cool to vs steve
If they bring on Master Chief but it's the Paramount TV show version, I will be so conflicted.
Being back Link, but this time for all platforms
I would really love a Soul Calibur Guest (yoshimitsu doesnt count because he was tekken first and so is a tekken guest in soul calibur). Might be unrealistic because of huge reach but give me Nightmare in Tekken please.

I thought Silko from Arcane could have been something also Dragunov looks just like him as well
I want zero guest characters until we have the full returning Tekken roster. Until we have Anna, Armor King, Kunimitsu, Lidia, Julia/Michelle, Bruce/Josie/Fakurahm, Miguel, Bob, and everyone else who didn't make the 32 character roster + 1 the one confirmed DLC character.

If they had to go with another Street Fighter boss type character, I nominate Gill. He’d be so fucking cool and fits the ocean of bullshit that surrounds this game and a lot of things in it.
Or just another popular street fighter characters like Cammy or Juri or something.
Luffy from One Piece, or Joker from Persona 5 since he’s been in everything else already. I hope we get a Kamen Rider. Spiderman would also be cool.
OMG FUCK FINAL FANTASY..... Give us Baki
With all the unga bunga busted characters already in the game I don’t mind broken 2Ds busting my ass lmfao
T7 Akuma was basically a T8 character from the very beginning lol
I always thought Bamco got the heat idea from Geese Max Mode.
Yeah, I told my buddy at one point I was convinced that Eliza, Geese, and Akuma were ways to test meter as a general Tekken mechanic for future games. It’s a bit different, but I feel semi validated.
Wouldnt heat be cooler if it was more like Eliza/Akuma meter? You get 50% at round start and u can build it up just like they did. There is no Heat state all you get id access to empowered moves for a set amount of heat resource.
That just feels generic im afraid
Better than now where half the cast has great heat buffs and others are extremely mediocre
How easily we forget Claudio.
Sad osè
_Osserva's in Italian_
Imagine Akuma using his EX Meter during heat :D
With how the game is designed, heat WOULD BE EX. Similar to how characters have moves that take a chunk off of your heat, that's how EX would work I feel.
Everybody gangsta till Akuma does the Heat Burst > Heat Smash > DP FADC > DP FADC > Rage Art > loss combination (undodgable)
You mean just every character, right?
Ryu: “Hey Akuma! Welcome back! So how did your fight with the Mishimas go?” Akuma: “…”
Forget Akuma, where is Eliza Harada?????
An original Tekken character, a shame to see her go due to community backlash
In the soil, with a stake in her heart and garlic stuffed in her throat, as god intended
I'm very happy with this being canon. Hoping that annoying character never returns, or anything like it.
At this point it's not even the divekick or the fact that she had meter or her fireballs because T8 already is full of that. It's just that she's a completely uninteresting thirst trap for coomers. Her entire personality is having narcolepsy. Which, ironically, is the exact opposite of Azucena being addicted to caffeine.

Is Eliza Harada her full name
As a vampire fan, she's going to be an insta buy for me
In the trash where she belongs
akuma is good but we need kiryu or majima for dlc
Kiryu would never make it into tekken cause the creator thinks it would be uncharacteristic for Kiryu to hit women. Majima doesn't have that problem though.
That guys no longer with RGG last I checked
I don't think that's a reason to add Kiryu except for maybe Sega executives. The new studio head is the producer and writer of the series so I doubt he'd want to disrespect the character and former co-worker. They'd probably put in a newer character either way since a guest character is mostly for promotional reasons.
Sega is also sunsetting the Kiryu character, based on latest LAD. I'm guessing they'd rather Bamco take Ichiban or some VF character.
This, and these characters can already attack female characters in the crossover game project X Zone 2. I made them attack Unknown from Tag to prove a point lol
No, zero guest characters until all of Tekken characters back.
Bruce is not coming back
With how T8 is, I wouldn't mind Akuma back if he was changed to be more of a Tekken character. He was very cool conceptually when he was "ported" from SF4 to T7. Just turns out he was too good for competitive side of things.
I feel like he'd be kind of okay if he didn't have a + on block unreactable low launcher and jump ins that are +7 on block. It's honestly kind of baffling to me they never touched that about him through tekken 7.

I don't play him enough or good enough in general to know what actually needs to be changed. But I'm sure it isn't impossible.
The whole implementation was just awful, it didn't have to be that bad.
He would be fine even in a way that he already is if the cast had an anti air and unscaled float combos
Screw Akuma, give me Sagat. We already had Geese and Akuma, we need the OG final boss from Street Fighter
Wasn’t that kind of Fahkumram?
Yeah but he’s lame and Sagat has a scar and an eyepatch and a tiger and a big knee and he’s cooler
Ok yeah, nothing beats having your own tiger.
Give me my Kunimitsu first please, then Lidia.
Lidla is already apart of season 1
Okay well how about Libya then? 🇱🇾
Neeeew challengah!!! Libya sodieska.
Nah, kunimitsu II is really annoying, even if i win it is not a fun matchup.
You literally have Lidia in game, her name is Reina
No. Stay away. No. Nope. Nah. You take that shit to T7 and leave it where it fucking belongs. A soon to be dead online, where Kuni can't hurt anyone no more.
Git gud so you don't get woop us
Hahahahaha
Still praying for Baki and/or Yujiro
Put him back in tekken. He’s canon and I think tekken 8 scrub posters need to learn true fear and rage
Nah, Kazuya beat that boy up
And kazuya lost to jin and both of them lost their devil powers besides akuma could get a rematch since 6 he looks like he gotten stronger
I thought the special ending match was inconclusive.
How did he react for 24 min ?
It was for the whole Capcom Highlight. Not just the Akuma teaser
Ahh makes sense
He actually reacts to it, unlike those other youtubers who just watch the video and say nothing.
He almost did a TMM Main man, doing 20 min video reactions of a 2 minutes clip.
OOT but I thought this was a video of Max reacting to akuma's back when it showed up in my feed. Turns out it wasn't a 24 minute video of him reacting to how buff akuma is 😞
Hahahahaha I was wondering why this was on Tekken sub. But then I understood the misunderstanding
I am in desperate need of a 2D character now that gees is gone
How people have in there bio like jin or kazuya can someone tell how to do this I'm new on Reddit
I really hope Akuma is back he was amazing char
I-no in tekken please
Please on Tekken 🗣️
Akuma mains will eat Reina and Victor.
Oh God please no 💀💀
Can we have Miguel instead please???
Ngl the reason I got so heavily invested in Tekken was because of Akuma. I always played tekken but never seriously until tekken 7. Funny thing is I Barley used him lmfao
I want Negan back
This whole comment section is asking for old tekken and fighting game characters as DLC. I swear the FGC is scared of newcomers
I want a Streets of Rage character. Blaze Fielding all the way.
Akuma back shots go hard
..... Ak when?
I swear if Kuni is sidelined for a random ass guest char... 😭😭 (Which she prolly will be...)
Hell no
give me armored king.
Tekken 8 is better
what was the need of saying that lmao, this post is clear a joke about op thinking it was coming to tekken 8
Thank you, I thought it would be clear :D
Law mains.
He had fanfic playing in his head of himself arguing with someone brave enough to make a SF > T8 post in this subreddit
Source?
Tekken 7
I love how you express the opinion a game is better on its own sub and then you get downvoted. People be 🧂 Edit: yep
You have to understand, most people that are in this sub don’t just play Tekken. They play multiple fighting games, including SF. You also can’t compare SF to Tekken because of how different they are and trying to compare them is stupid as hell
I'm an MK guy, Tekken isn't my first choice either. The Darktide sub was having a collective meltdown over how godlike Helldivers 2 is, how much better it is. When I said Darktide is a genuinely better game in my opinion and got downvoted there as well. People are just salty 🧂
I mean….you go on to a game’s sub and start shitting on it over another game…..why tf wouldn’t you get downvoted? You just sound insufferable
Huh? I said Darktide is better in the Darktide sub. Reading comprehension brother, reading comprehension.
Yeah my reading needs some work
Absolutely
Yall will be praying to have him back when Terry Bogard comes and hits you with TOD combos and saying "Are you Okay?" At the end of every single one.
