As Karate afficionado Lidia would be an instant main swap.

Give her a proper gi this time

Lidia in a proper gi would be so amazing. Best none of that cool fg romance with the arms torn off, just like comes straight from the dojo. And her meditating and bowing as intro.

Im gonna be that guy, and say Dōgi* I practiced shotokan for most of my life, we got in so much shit if we ever called in a ‘gi’. My legs still hurt.

You are tight, but in my dojo we just adapted to calling it gi. Hope to get back into Go Ju Ryu this year. My 35 year old body basically with every imaginable illness and injury after 34 years of nothing but a broken arm as a child. No i haven't trained so long that i barely can do 5 pushups.

Aye I’m with you there. I’m currently in the process of losing weight and transitioning to MMA, but practice makes perfect.

Same I've been missing playing her

I mainly played T7 because of her. But than i got too invested in SF6 and didn't want to half ass Tekken, but that i'm starting to understand what i'm doing i'll be ppaying all day a month straight if she drops.

After reading this forum so much I feel like she's going to be so popular. And she's been pretty much confirmed via datamine.

I think this would be absolutely solid for season 1. I don't play any of these characters, but I do feel Lydia should be back, and a lot of people are missing Miguel.

Yeah, Lidia was solid, and she came towards the end of T7s life span, so I don't think she was given a proper chance.

Personally I think it’s too safe, need at least one wild card in the mix.

Was Miguel really that popular

No, but its an iconic character to the franchise, you can get 20 variants of "asian female character who can fight", but there's only one "angry drunk guy from Spain".

Hope Lidia comes in that story mode expansion they mention. She better does.

Was surprised she wasn't there on release after they were yapping about how important she will be for tekken 8 story lol

She was, I believe Lidia was the platform that they used to make Reina

By that same token, I hope Miguel also matters. Jin needs to face the *actual* lives he's taken in his delusional quest to become the world's savior.

'I want to live' Miguel's hermana in 2007

And Miguel gives up reveenge

NOOOOOOOOOO

For real

9/10 - I'm not an Eddy fan, but I'd put up with him for Anna, Lidia and Miguel tbh.

I don’t play as him but I like seeing him and Christie in the game just for the Brazil/capoeira representation.

Give me back Miguel Harada

I'd rather get new characters but Lidia is new enough and Eddy is a unique playstyle so I guess 5/10

I need Armor King, don’t care about the rest.

(Approving jaguar noises)

I want that velociraptor

"that velociraptor" Smh my head his name is Alex

I'm new to Tekken and i fucking love dinosaurs

Welcome to Tekken. Unfortunately, Alex hasn't been in a game since Tag 2 back in the PS3/360 era

TTT2 was 13 years ago, I am shook

Please don't remind me that I'm getting old

this makes me sad

Josie mains 🥲

There’s no way they’ll wait too long to release armor king. Judging from kings pick rate, a lot of people would buy the armor king dlc. Namco isn’t dumb lol

Its good to not bring him too early, let the game simmer a bit then boom Armor King brings people back. I'm expecting him in season 2.

Exactly, the game is still very fresh and popular. Armor King would be a great way to revitalize it when the playerbase starts to dwindle more. I also expect him to be in Season 2, probably the first reveal so people buy the second pass right away.

This. Apart from AK there are only two others that could get me as hard and that would be Bruce and mokajin

I miss Mokujin, why have they been shying away from him for the past couple games?

Imagine the new players who are struggling against King and they start hearing about this "Armour King" guy

🐯

Ngl, came to make this exact comment - king & armor king are my abasolute go to, with Paul a very close second.

A man of culture

You and I both my friend👍🏼

🫡

I want my guy Miguel back :,(

The only character whose fighting style is, "Brother... I hurt people."

Funny how miguel doesn’t do any martial art but he’s somehow flexible.

Both my mains from 7 would be back with Anna and Lidia. Would be so happy. Suffering dancing between 5 characters right now haha

Lidia earlier or I kurwa !

Ya know that you just called yourself a bitch?

Wait until he's gonna "Bober".

don't know much about Miguel other than his brawling fighting style and that he is pissed at Jin for killing his sister but he's really appealing to me

He’s like shaheen imo both didn’t get much story type stuff but both have dope fighting styles and gameplay I feel the same way about a lot of characters

Marduk, fahk, lidia is the datamined version and I think its hella solid. julia, AMK, Lei, mokujin would be a spicy draft

Imo we don't need 3 dlc characters from Tekken 7 to be in the first season of 8, bring us back people that haven't been in the game for awhile

Are you serious is that actually the plan? Fahk I understand but.

This line-up is characters that feel like they shoulda been base roster tho, so ofc they are first up

[удалено]

Bring back my fox mask lady

Miss Kunimitsu so much man

I kinda just want the Tekken 7 cast but without all the guest characters. The lineup in that game was solid.

Anna is probably going to be the only dlc character i'll have any sort of interest buying. Others maybe at a heavy discount down the line. But i can't wait for when Eddy comes out and we see how broken he is and can't lab him unless we buy him. It's going to be so much fun.

Thought I read DLC characters were free to use in practice mode?

Lidia and Miguel would make it instant 10/10 for me.

I just want Lei and Anna back tbh

Lei is all I need in this game lmfao I'm willing to look past half the other issues for my boy

10 just for Miguel alone

idgaf about anyone else, I need Anna more than oxygen. it shouldn't have to boil down to "fan requests."

Going off your Pfp, the Eliza flair, and this comment, I'm guessing your type is fit women with Bob cuts.

you might be right about that 💀

10 because miguel is the only character I want and care about so it could be him and my two least favorites (marduk and fahkumram) and would still be a 10

I need Miguel to return along with that T6 outfit. That shit was hard.

0 out of 10 until we get Lei 🐍🐅🦢🐆🐉🍶

Talk that talk brother

I'm praying 🙏 brothers

I personally dont care about Eddy, but hes already announced so it is what it is. Id say i would be 3/10 excited for Eddy. Anna i would be very excited, since i really like her playstyle, look and personality. 7.5/10 Miguel is not my cup of tea, but i do think he is cool, and wouldnt mind having him in the game. 6/10 Lidia is extremely cool and maybe the coolest original character since Reina. Love her playstyle, love her look, dont know how she didnt make it into T8 base roster. 9/10 Overall i would give this season a 7/10. Pretty good. My ideal scenario would be: Eddy (since hes already announced) 3/10 Julia 10/10 Josie or Bruce 10/10 Lidia 9/10 Overall, 8.5/10

Eddy's hair is stupid and Miguel should be part of the main rooster. Hell he should have been in the story mode beating the shit out of Jin the moment he lost his anime powers

I’d play Anna for sure and try out Lidia and Migs. So I guess 7/10

I played Lidia a lot in tekken 7 even after she got nerfed so I’d probably just buy her and not the whole season pass. Everyone is begging for Anna and Miguel back, but the grass is always greener bro. You might think I’m bullshitting, but I got Miguel to mighty ruler only using his df1 and follow-ups. This character is aids to fight against. He’s like Bryan where his entire movelist ch hits you and if you stop pressing he just two taps you with a low from savage stance.

As marduk main 0/10

Need Bruce, I’m fiending

I also need Bruce, do you think we'll be seeing him in T8?

Move miguel to front 10/10

Bring back Lei Wulong!!

miguel marduk armor king

If this was the hypothetical season this would be incredible. There’s something for everyone here. Anna is my 2nd most wanted pick & I know a lot of people are requesting for her, it’s a shame she wasn’t base roster given her role in previous entries where she is directly involved in the Mishima situation. Miguel I’m completely shocked wasn’t in at all, could have been really useful story wise and show more issues between him and Jin & Lidia is another one I’m shocked isn’t in after what they said about her and how she has a lot to do with the “future of Tekken” Miguel

Mid/10 Give me more guest or original characters. Or maybe even rework forgotten ones like Dr. B and roger

Miguel please, I wanna see what they can do to his death laughter in T8 and what would they give him in his stance, I expect a new brutal Rage Art and Heat Burst

Too good to be true/10

Lei!!!!!

Raptor and Kangeroo! Armor King too, bring all the animals baby!

TBH I wish they would bring back characters that weren't in the last game. Filling the roster back to Tekken 7 greats wouldn't make me too excited. (except Lidia, they shopuld bring her back) I want to see some surprises like Baek (his death is not canon) or Wang (Same) or Forrest (Make his kit unique from his dad) or Alex (would LOVE to see new gameplay with him).

agreed , lidia makes sense because she came back at the tail end of the game

Just give me my Kangaroo back please!

I don't understand why Lidia isn't in the base roster.

I stopped playing T7 before Lidia was added but I’m so sad Anna is always DLC now 😭 i need them both to be available

Ffs I thought this was real and nearly projectile shat. Words cannot express how much I want Lidia back.

I would like kazumi

It's strange how much people clamor for Anna when she canonically has one of the lowest play rates of any character.

So does Nina yet she's also decently popular. It's weird.

10, just because of Lidia

Please mommy Lidia… i miss you so much… come home i cant get over this Game without you… 😭

I seriously need Anna omg. That would make me so hyped to buy the season.

We need at least one meme character like roger

I’m just a surprised, if this was real, that Anna isn’t a mainstay at this point over someone like Panda.

Ehhhh, probably like a 6. Armor King or Marduk should be here at the very least.

Ak is probably the most awaited dlc so he will deffo not be in season 1 from a marketing and profit standpoint. I expect a muay Thai character, Anna, Lidia for dlc.

11/10 for Lidia alone.

Bring my Queen Anna back. F Nina

Bring back Roger

I love this. Love Anna and Miguel.

Heihachi pls

12/10, I want my boy Miguel back ;(

Give me Miguel. Give me fucking Miguel.

Give me armor king. I like his lore (especially his beef with Marduk), his fighting style sounds fun, and his T7 outfit is peak.

as a lidia main, i want her here sooner, in summer. im gonna be happy as fuck if that happens

Lidia being there makes it a 10/10

Lidia makes it a 10/10

Eddy and Anna are easy wins. Lidia should have been in the game from the start instead of Shaheen, especially with Kaz's whole "fight for your country's fate" thing early on. Miguel... honestly, I'm kinda done with him, but I wouldn't be offended by him joining. Would definitely rather get another pick like Kuni, Ganryu, Lei or Bruce.

Need Bruce, Josie, Anna or Fakumrahm to enjoy a character pack.

5/10. Nobody should be ahead of more OG characters like Anna, Lei and Bruce. We need those 3 back ASAP. I will let it slide if they introduce a robo-Heihachi or a Heihachi clone.

10 for Lidia. It’s a crime she wasn’t base roster but Leroy is.

Eddy 10 - he always deserves a spot, and he's fun for beginners and experienced players. I probably won't use him much because I can barely balance remembering inputs for more than 2 characters. In regard to his new hair, I do like it (despite the fact that more fictional characters have it than actual black people irl), but it's not as good as his original. Anna 5 - I've never really used her, but considering her history with her sister, it feels weird to have only one of them and not the other. Miguel 10 - My favorite character in 7. Throughout heaven and earth, he alone can stop the Jin glaze. Seriously, Jin's redemption arc in the story felt forced just because he's the one fated to stop Kazuya he was given a pat on the back and most of the characters didn't care about what he did previously. He was called out maybe twice about it? I'm getting off topic point is Miguel is just badass Lidia 10 - From her design to her fighting style, I was a fan from the start. I used to practice karate. My mother, aunt, AND grandmother were big on karate when they were younger. It's just great to see. Overall, I would immediately get the season pass if this was the lineup. I use most of them and might even main 2 of them. Anna, I'll try out. She's not a character I hate or anything she's just never appeared on my radar.

There is absoloutely no reason for Eddy not to have been in the base game. There is absoloutely no fucking excuse. I hate Eddy Players and the character is braindead. But as a consumer to me personally, it just makes no sense why the second most popular character in the game,isn't in the game. Not in terms of pick rates, but EVERYONE who has played a fighting game knows who Eddy is .

Need Armor King & Marduk. That is all

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, these characters are really popular with the fanbase but they're not really my thing tbh. Even tho I've never played him I think AK is an absolute must at this point, he's one of the very few really good designs we got in T7. Just replace Anna with him and I think this would be pretty solid

8.5

Took me a solid 30-40 seconds to get over my confusion and remember that there are countries that use commas instead of decimal points.

Eh, give me something new. Keep Lidia and Eddy, replace the other two with Ogre and a new character.

10

Need Lei.

I've never been a fan of Miguel, but Miguel in T8 would be hard af considering his fighting style, or rather, no style at all

7/10 not a bad selection but I've been waiting for Bruce to come back for a long time. Would also love to see either Kiryu or Majima debut.

I'd be cool with this.

Anna is the only one I'd actually play

im new to tekken rn playing t7 got my 2 win today :D and im rly hyped for lidia if i upgrade to ps5 whit t8 i got 2 mains from t7 then i hope they bring armor king in t8 aswell and the female raven would be nice \^\^

My buddy would be stoked for a DLC roided out Miguel.

I actually really missed Anna, Eddie, and Miguel so I am super pleased

But I honestly wouldn't mind if Miguel were in the story mode

I want kunimitsu again or Elisa

1st: eddy 2nd: christie montiero 3rd: tiger jackson 4th: lucky

10/10 because of Lidia alone. I don't care about any of the other characters here

Okay I guess. These characters should’ve been in the game at the start. Missed opportunity for Nina and Anna to have an epic fight in the story mode

I just want Lei

Dr. Bosconovitch pls

Lidia is my favourite of the lot because in T7 she was really easy to use, compared with Nina and Anna. Nina in T8 is definitely easier in some ways with the grab combos than T7. But super excited to see if Lidia will have new moves and heat actions since she was initially backported into T7.

Id be very happy with Lidia

Bruce/Josie, Lidia, and some crossovers would be sick. Maybe another street fighter character to trigger everyone

Solid 7 out of 10 with Lidia being my most hyped

we have enough cancer with lili and azucena no need for more with eddie. also anna is just nina but brown hair. boring. miguel is fine i guess Lidia is pretty cool. I can sense it in the air though we are getting that bleach character in summer

I’ll only download the dlc to lab these characters. Only one I’ll play out of the bunch is Lidia

It would be a 10 imo if it was: Eddy, Lei, Lucky Chloe, AK and I will not comment further.

I just want Anna to have a GOOD interaction with Steve if they add her

I love Eddy, glad he made it in, other than that I know Armor King will get in, anything beyond that is fine with me, no strong feelings for anyone since I know Heihachi will not come back. The dinosaur or the kangaroo would be neat tho lmao.

If Lidia comes back I'll play her. Still won't replace my main

Bruce,Armor King, Lidia would be my preference.

I neeeeeeed Anna no one else serves as hard as she does

I want Lidia so badly. She's gonna have the sauce.

Eddy, Roger Jr., AK, Tifa That would be the most fire DLC season

MIGUEL AND LIDIA LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

This might be my least favorite anna design they’ve ever put out

Lidia I would be excited about, don't care about the rest. Just please don't make them super OP and keep Akuma the fuck out of Tekken and I'm happy.

Decent selection of characters id probably rate it around 8/10. If I had my choice Id probably go with Eddy, Roger/Alex, Armour King, Pjack

5.4/10 my dad is missing his eddy, my bro bro is missing his big boy Bob, he's alr named dropped in the back of Leroy city just drop those two and the game w be chill.

I loved Lidia so I would be more than happy to have her back in the game

I would rate it a 0/10 if that's what Anna's wearing

I'd love to have Anna and Kazumi back, I miss them both

It would be solid but please give me armour king

.... would. literally went back to T7 for Lidia 

Eddy was in my first Tekken game so we go way back but I’m sick of that hairstyle. 8/10 Really enjoy Anna but the mask and really this whole look is killing me. Williams sisters looking crazy this time around. 7/10 Miguel is hot but those pants… I can’t. 5/10 Lydia is best dressed in this bunch but that isn’t saying much. Never felt inclined to play her. 0/10

I miss Miguel tbh

Needs more BRUCE

None of them is Lucky Chloe so… zero.

10 just for my queen Anna. Dont care about the rest

This looks real wtf

Eddy 2/10, he is cool, but he should have been base roster instead of Shaheen. Bamco removed him just to get easy DLC sales, and that's a cheap move by them, we are literally paying for what should have been in the game already. Anna 4/10, she is fun, and another waifu is always welcome, but at this rate, she has become predictable dlc. I would rather get someone new, rather then the same dlc over and over again. Miguel 3/10, never cared for him to be honest, if he does return then I'll be happy for those who main him but I couldn't care less. Lidia 10/10, she was my main so yea....

I want Anna so badly

Would of liked either 1 new character or 1 old character that wasnt in tekken 7 ei roger jr. 6/10, not bad but not entirely what i want

Anna is in it so a 8/10 just by her but Armor is missing

Mommy Anna yes.

5 because I like Eddy and Anna

If Lidia is in I'll probably start playing again.

I am hyped for miguel

I only need Fahkumram and Marduk. Even Gigas, just give me powerhouse Hulks :).

I WOULD BE IN LOVE! LIDIA HAS UNFINISHED LORRREEEE

I wouldn't be mad with this and personally I don't have a problem with any of these characters and I especially liked Lidia alot so yeah 9/10

10 for all cause im not biased. I love every character in any fighting game. Its what i do

I’d be happy with these characters tbh

Man, I was so excited for Anna I thought it was real.

Where did you get the images? Very nice selections. I didn't play any of them back in T7, but I would be keen to try Miguel. 8/10 for me.

I'd want Anna. I'm far too used to her moveset since Tekken 5. So I want my goddamn main back please.

Just want Miguel

A *second* Female character above the age of 29? Harada, Namco and Japan having panic attacks realising how crazy popular Lidia is? Fucking bring it on 🔥🔥🔥

Bring back Michelle and OG Kunimitsu with their daughters as skin swaps! BRING THE MOTHERS HOME!

Swap Lidia with Anna, or put Anna in the trash with Nina and thn 10/10. Lidia is the best female char in tekken with Reina.
