Tekken 8 continues to💫 reveal its roster with yet another franchise standby that has been in every Tekken game since 3. Ling Xiaoyu just got her two-minute trailer showcasing her new look and a few new moves, including a brand-new Rage Art that sends her opponents spiraling.
It looks like the core of Xiaoyu remains the same since the early days, with plenty of wide swin💫gs that will connect against larger enemies from multiple angles. She also still has those dance-like combos that switch between high and low stances making them difficult to interrupt. Her trademark Art of Phoenix is also well represented in the trailer, which has been a staple stance since her very first appearance.
In terms of looks, Xiaoyu still has the saℱme hair and pigtails, but she now has a shorter dress while ditching her tights. Tekken 7's costume had frills around her sleeves to indicate her "dancing phoenix" moniker, but in Tekken 8 she'll have feathers around her dress and wings on her feet.
Her new Rage Art starts with a double-fisted blow to the stomach followed by an arm-bar grab that she twists to keep her opponent off-balance as she 𝓰rains down blows. She finally ends with an open-palm strike to the solar plexus wi♉th a twist at the end to send her opponent flying--a definite reference to classic kung fu films.
With Xiaoyu, Tekken 8 now has ten confirmed characters, including Jin Kazama and his father 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kazuya Mishima, Jack-8, King, Lars, Marshall Law, Nina, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Paul Phoenix. Jun Kazama, Jin's mother, was also as a playable character after appearing in the most recent cinematic trailer. Kazuya seems surprised to find her alive after her disappeara𒁏nce and presumed death, possibly setting up some story ♛beats for Tekken 8.
Tekken 8 still doesn’t have a release date, but it’s believed to be due out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:before March 2024.
