So let’s begin with newest edition to the Tekken series – Heat. With great range and speed, and a diverse, sometimes unpredictable moveset, this is who I first used to test my skills in Tekken 8, eventually giving most a try and discovering a new-found love for Lili. It’s a good job too, because to my surprise, neither Steve nor Drag made it into the Beta.Įnter Hwoarang – a staple of the series and a character I’d put a decent amount of time into with the release of Tekken 7. After neglecting the majority of the roster (basically everyone bar Steve and Drag), I decided to branch out by seeing how King, Kazuya and even Doctor Bosconovitch played. Tekken Tag 2 really pulled me in and gave me a true lust for battle. Some players were good, others really good, but only a select few I came across were amazing, and it was these players I really wanted to test my skills against.
