The fact that they called this man the “Grandmaster of Drip” means they definitely have someone at Namco that is in with the youth lol it is is wild
Yeah
It’s Harada
That man is pushing 50 and somehow knows all our trends
Lol😂
Yup! They Skipped Straight Over "Swag" To "Drip"😂
Too funny lol
Mada mada dane..!!
They made this man even cooler. They even lean in to the sheer *DRIP* this character possesses via his epithet. That got a laugh out of me.
Steet-Casual Kung-Fu Leroy fits well in SF6.
Wouldn't that be fun.
Dude is even called the grandmaster of drip
Love the character, hate the word "drip." I hope it dies a terrible, terrible, terrible death.
I kinda wish they made his rage art a bit more drippy like include the dog lol
@@smugofbishamonten1447I laughed out so loud when I saw that
For a DLC character we've only known for a few years.... Leroy already being announced for Tekken 8 just feels right? How does he fit this series so well!?
Except he is no longer DLC!
Maybe because he appeared in the tekken netflix anime
I mean with a design like that, Why wouldn't you want him in the base roster?
because MARKET RULES
@@pank3245because people like Steve belong in the base roster not some broken overpowered pay to win garbage
They really got the symbolism down as he's using Wing Chun against the Bruce Lee character and finished him with the 1 inch punch!! Love it!!
yea man the ip man supremacy
Glad someone else noticed this!
He has serious beef with that character. A fight Marshall Law was involved in got Leroy's family killed if I'm not mistaken.
Marshall Law, not Bruce Lee himself.
@KillerELITE17
See this is sad, because you think as a Bruce Lee fan I'd have picked up on that before reading your comment. Especially since I've seen Ip Man 1 and 2.
This guy has just been introduced recently in the Tekken series and it feels like he's been in the game forever.
True, i used to hate his players (since block spamming) but the character itself is amazing. Well deserved position in the game.
I feel like he has just like u said, just never entered the iron fist tournament
No wang didn’t do wingchun
@Draxxon Lives Why ? I am excited to read ur arguments, if you even have some
@Draxxon Lives Doesn't seem like it died.
Might just be me but I love how his sleeves are folded. So casual and badass
Agreed. Folded long sleeves always look dope.
I think it also harkens back to the way they fold sleeves on kung fu jackets
Iike ip man
His outfit in Tekken7 looked alot better
He looks like a tryhard now
@@jkthegreat5687 a tryhard?? Nah dawg
im so happy they decided to bring back Leroy to Tekken 8 too, hopefully we see also Hwo, Baek, and many more, a big roster!
I think they fully died out baek i forgot why
Baek is death
@Raid Ramirez Actually I'm pretty sure it wasn't Canon.
@@toughfamz Tekken 6 is canon bro
@@raidramirez6611 No i meant Baek's death since the the ending of Scenario Campaign mode is supposed to be the one ending that is canon in Tekken 6.
Liking how they match up Leroy with Xiaoyu in the trailer, Wing Chun vs Baguazhang /Piguaquan. A nice comparison between Southern v Northern Chinese martial arts. And it highlights the stark differences between the two regions' respective styles. Also interesting to see Marshall Law being featured too, as his style is a nod to Jeet Kune Do, which has foundations of Wing Chun.
Respect for having referred to Marshall Law’s style as a nod to Jeet Kune Do, and not Jeet Kune Do itself as many say
Crediting Bruce Lee when mentioning Jeet Kune Do would've been nice.
Everybody Wing Chun Tonite!
The fact that it was a grown man beating up a teenage girl was hilarious and also felt so wrong 😂😭
@@Saggimyzeit's a game lol
Was NOT expecting to see this guy so soon! Still looks cool af. The visuals on this guy have NEVER been lacking. "Grandmaster of Drip" indeed. 😎
@@jangwoolee9260um what
1 ...means they might have somthing to offer better than him....but heichie is gone wtf ...hes the face of tekken since arcade...makes no sense
@@jangwoolee9260 wtf y hes been the face since arcade days ...y would they remove heichi
@eternal wisdom Story wise yea they confirmed Heihachi is dead. Roster wise, he might still make an appearance
Too bad he sounds like duke nukem
Leroy is the kind of character design that should've been in the roster since Tekken 3 so he deserves it.
They retroactively shoved him in the T3 plot for the netflix anime, so you're on to something
I think if ip man had come out in the 90s we probably would have got him in tekken 3
Wang
He looks like the final form of a pimp (and i mean that in the best way possible).
@tedjo muljono Leroy is the most popular new character since tekken 4 or 5. T-pain cosplayed as him. Harada would've been an idiot to not add Leroy in the base roster. The same way it'd be dumb not to add Lidia or Fahkumram(or Bruce Irving).
The smile that hit my face with the combo of
- Beau "Jet Black" Billingsley
- Fantastic, fluid combos
- That SWEET BOY and his HOODY he LOVES it
We need more bad ass old men like him. Not just in tekken but the world.
Well.... you got it!
No, we really don't. Bring back Wang Jinrei. At least the character was interesting. Leroy is boring, obnoxious and does too much for being such a simpleton
@@Siberianhusky89lol bro what are you waffling about? Your sentiments aren’t even based in reality your just bitter
@@EGsth7 Yeah, I am bitter. I'm bitter that this boring ass character made it into the game just to replace a character that was actually interesting. Wang Jinrei was sick. Leroy is just obnoxious and straightforward.
@@Siberianhusky89 see idek who that is bro lol 😂, I been playing since 4 when I was like 5 on ps2. So he must’ve not been as popular
I didn't even expect to see Leroy pop back so soon and the fact that they added "drip" to this character just makes him even have more swagg.
He looks based off of DMX.
Grandmaster of Drip
I don't know if it's April Fools but so good to have Leroy back!
Day after April Fools tho
Thanks former president Obama
The West wants to turn the entire world into ghetto thinkers. Glad to see they've exported their culture to Japan already.
Even if this was April Fool's, I'll accept the L cus this trailer was rather a treat
@@Obama3ryk If not so rude to ask, but what is your last name Mr. Obama?
Leroy being introduced in the base-game must mean he has some big story significance. I’m interested.
Leroy Smith is awesome! He's going to be a force to be reckoned with in Tekken 8! Thank you, Namco, for bringing us this awesome character in the next-generation Tekken!
Wang is betr
@@jonathanbrenner4736he's not well received so I disagree
@@Ayo_Bruh22 to each there own
@@jonathanbrenner4736 when the last time anyone asked for wang?I rest my case
@@Ayo_Bruh22 Mayb u just like Leroy better than Wang so what
He's a main character now??? Wow🔥 🔥 🔥
I mean have you seen the anime....
@@slawclips I thought they just added him to the anime just to add him.
@@QT-jw6dx eh no, this map is his map lol, it has his statue in it.
@@QT-jw6dx
Well the dude is in Tekken 7. It was safe to assume he'd be back
Did you not see the anime where Jin broke his knee 😂
Gotta admit, his moves here is giving that realistic feel to it compared to the others, even with those barrage punches.
X,D ok
Bro what universe are you living in 😂
Bruh he looks like a Steven seagall movie. Not real at all. Still dope though
@@cryptocaesar8972 you mean ip man movie
I agree. The animations are smoother and he doesn't backflips and spins awkwardly like Law or Xiaoiu
I am SO HAPPY Uncle Leroy is still gonna be in the next one !! as someone who actually does wing chun i just thought this was so cool to see when he debuted in Tekken 7 !!
I damn near want to start playing this just because of Leroy.
Bruh same!
I was already kinda sold, but then this man and his smooth combos made me Really want to play this game
nah deadass
I already know what to do to beat him!😉😆😂
From Tekken 7, he's just getting started.
His win pose in the end is the same one Ip Man did in the fight against Mike Tyson. Man, they REALLY nailed it this time around.
Leroy is such an awesome character glad he’s back
01:50 Did he punch a hole through his chest with the power of a Black Dragon? .... yes he did! Black Air Force energy in the form of a Black Dragon from the Grandmaster of Drip!
Wow, I genuinely did not expect a dlc newcomer from the previous game to be such an early reveal, but I'm so glad because Leroy is one of the coolest new characters.
Right. We all knew he was going to be in it but an actual reveal this early? I was expecting him to be one of the later ones
but he was in prev tekkens too...
@@user-ry5oh3qt2u Just tekken 7 tho. And he was dlc.
@@user-ry5oh3qt2u he was only on 7 and one of the last dlc characthers
Some game FINALLY gives justice to Wing Chun too... MK had Dairou in 3D era but he never got popular and it became a secondary style for randoms.
Leroy was one of the of the better newer characters introduced in Tekken 7 because he actually looked like a martial artist who was using an actual fighting style, he screamed old-school Tekken and I mean that in the best way possible. His new look is looking good and it's nice to see him return. I look forward to actually trying him out this time around. :)
i remember when everyone hated him because he was so op. But yes hes overall gameplay design is very nice
I mean Wing Chun was also used by Wang Jinrei so of course he screams old school Tekken. Wang debuted in Tekken 1.
@@Escapism-for-everybody don’t get it twisted we still hate him and he’s still op but Atleast his character design is sick
@@Some_No_Mai nope, Wang’s fighting style is Xin Yi Liu He Quan
I hope they can make customizations to replace his head with other races like Asian.
0:24 when it’s garbage day
"Accept all, chase none.
And that's how you get the ladies, gentlemen"
Leroy, definitely.
The Grandmaster Of Drip had spoken!!
Love how his rage art includes the one inch punch against law, whos based on bruce lee who actually used that technique
Leroy uses the same martial art Bruce Lee's master was trained in, Wing Chun, so it's like a double reference to Bruce Lee
Cool story bro.
So why didn't they add in the fighting of Marshall Law, who is completely based on Bruce Lee
@@yellowscarlightningscream8347 Wasn't Forest Law supposed to be heavily inspired by Bruce Lee not Marshall?
@@yellowscarlightningscream8347 because Bruce Lee's fighting style isn't completely Wing Chun
Dude, this trailer showcases the most fun animation I've seen in a fighting game. The chasing and pressure power of this character is SO FUN to watch.
It's always good to see characters that aren't w@ke.
@@ramonandrajo6348 actually man cant go one day without seeing a character ingame like that like cmon its too far
@@tempestborn1592 huh
I believe they all can do that chase bs, its a FADC(fcus attack dash cancel) hold over from street fighter. Akuma changed they whole bound system. lol
@@tempestborn1592 I don't get it.
1:12 IP Man vs Bruce Lee😮
just watching these trailers makes you wanna play every character
The Grandmaster of Drip goes kinda hard. Makes me hate this broken character a lil less
I don't even understand what that means.
LIKE THEY LITERALLY GAVE LEROY SO MUCH DRIP THAT HE WAS A NIGHTMARE DLC CHARACTER IN TEKKEN 7 AND THE ROSTER FEARS HIM!
@@Gaz-Man87 drip means wearing awesome clothes, idk when that came to be
corny
@@AfroKanjiSamurai Oof, I remembered when (I think it was EVO, though not sure) when 7 out of the Top 8 played Leroy, much to the dismay of... well lots of people, even the commentators took some shots at it
I just can’t wait for Bryan at this point, just hoping they don’t disappoint 🤞🏾
Was hoping this would be Bryan or Lee
@@DruidSandstorm they’ll come out eventually, BUT I CANT WAIT 😭
I hope for my main Craig Marduk! 💯
Marduk prolly not returning. I'm hyped for Steve though
Same
That dog at the end made me smile
One inch punch was super dope
Excited af for this game! Looks so good, I love the Pride / Rizin style announcer as well. The combat looks so fluid and looks Ike it flows so nice. Mortal Kombat and Tekken have always been my favorite fighting games. They literally are so close neck and neck at being number 1 to me.
The single coolest new character in a good long while. Really glad to see him back
He's literally just Planet Wings version Wang
@@theedwardian wang doesnt do wing chun. he does Xin Yi Liu He Quan. also leroy is cooler than wang hence the positive reception of him coming back. when is the last time you heard someone ask for wang?
wait until you see eddy gordo
Yes ..i get bored of all halfnaked simp characters
@@trialtaker ?
This is ridiculous! How do you make Leroy slicker, smoother, cooler and more flamboyant than T7 😂 he looks insane! Props to the devs, they somehow managed to better themselves and make it look easy
yup left every single aspect of his background out and and filled him with black american stereotypes as usual.
@@richardbyfield1918 Dude you're not allowed to like anything these days
@@richardbyfield1918 ....ok?
@@richardbyfield1918 Stereotypes are based on reality, and every character in this game has them. That you would point out the black man specifically is a little suspicious. Might want to check yourself before your woke card gets revoked by Twitter, little snowflake.
@@nachorodriguez6380cry me a river dude
Bruh I haven’t really been excited for tekken tag but man this looks really amazing it’s going to be a amazing year for fighting games 🔥🤙🏾
His character design is too good to be wasted. Im glad he's back
I certainjy agree. The reason he was so OP because he was so flawlessjy designed, he literally had almost all counters.
Unlike Fahk, katarina, lucky Chloe etc
Black*
@@KurtzMedia I don't like any of the introductory new people in t7. I'm with you.
Stop lying you're not glad
1:44 that leg trip downward punch is straight outta Ip Man 4. Sick!
I knew I recognized that from somewhere
His master must be ipman 😂❤

@@azrael7318 I know
@@fyasorna1577 dony yen vs mike tyson fight
Leroy a BEAST!!!!! one of the best characters designs and style I’ve seen for a long time
Witness the essence of wing chung!! And mid fight I realized that was what he was using. I love how tekkan puts every fighting style in the game, and soul caliber for them showing the different weapon masters
He was so badass that he came back for the next entry, let’s go!
for a nightmare character
@@TheSoCalledZoner1 Skill Issue
@@TheSoCalledZoner1 sounds like a skill issue to me. Man was nerfed. If you still have issues with him time to put the controller down
@@TheSoCalledZoner1 nobody's gotta try at all against you
trash talking aside, hell yea, he's rad and im glad
He fights just like Master IP man.... And that one-inch punch at the end was LEGENDARY 🥺.... Can't wait to play this game already.
They were definitely inspired by the Donnie Yen Ip Man movies. I caught a few familiar moves and angles in the trailer.
That's because the character himself learnt the art of Wing Chun.
Ip man fights like the Grandmaster of drip
Also, he's fighting Law, which is based on Bruce Lee, his pupil.
@@mxturado yeahh that's very true😳
As a martial artist and a massive Bruce Lee fan, I think I really want to play Leroy along with Law, Kazuya, and Jin. Leroy’s Wing Chun looks amazing
Every trailer just increases my hype.
This trailer was a great surprise at EVO! Leroy looks incredible in with this new design and I can’t wait to see him in action! His moves look powerful and the addition of the cane in his moves looks awesome!
The cane is already in tekken 7 but you can use it only once a match
@@marcuzgamexl4664 only because people we spamming it in the beginning of s4.
“Grandmaster of Drip” 😂
Leroy was af to fight in T7, but I’m actually glad he’s coming back. Such a cool character!
Maybe Akuma will come back to
@@Pwilliams4000 doubtful
you had me at "Grandmaster of Drip"
Players: don’t bring Leroy back
Harada: ok i bring Leroy back
Only people that get beat up by leroy mains dont want it back
I’m so glad he’s back, what a badass characters despite balance issues

Got Damn he looks OP asf...those combo strikes look insane. He has one of the best fighting styles I have ever seen in a fighting game.
The heat ability makes him absolutely busted. Looking forward to the release
Ip man fighting style
Fact
@@Dr-_-SlumpWing Chun is what it’s called
but he was OP before too..
Dude is here to flash drip and kick ass and hes doing all at the same time
Just finding out about this character and I can honestly say that he is officially the best character in the Tekken franchise.
That has got to be the best win pose I ever seen in a Tekken game.
L 2 cool Smith 😎👍 puppy pose 🐕👍
They just straight up copied Donnie Yen.
From dlc, to main addition. Gotta love wing chun
He hast the best Moveset tbh. Every hit Looks so crazy
I taught he’s going to be forgotten but now I wanna keep on playing
Jets voice actor is too good as Leroy and the new character design is insane. Love the rage art too. Straight chills during this trailer
That was my first thought too.
This character is such a badass and that voice just adds an extra layer of perfection to it.
I was SURE I recognised his voice from somewhere but just couldn't place it, thanks!
I think it's actually Dave Fennoy who voiced Leroy in Tekken 7 he is most famous for voicing Lee Everett in Tell Tales Walking dead
@@YoGazza Sounds like Beau Billingslea to me
That one inch punch gave me goosebumps. Leroy is as badass as ever.
Man i can't wait to get my hands on Leroy again. Such a badass character with cool moves
AYYOOOO
Aaayyyyyoooooooo
You mean broken, dumb , skilless characters. Then ya

@@JPROP-vb7sv broken how? He ain't broken you just can't habdle him apparantly🤷♂️ if you wanna talk about broken look at lili🙄
Now I definitely need to buy the game, he's my favorite character.
Leroy is a master of Wing Chun that's pretty darn cool.
leroy is so sick im glad he's back. The stage looks insane too, so much detail.
hes a nightmare wdym
Idk how, but they somehow managed to make his rage art even more badass than T7! I'M SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME MAN!!!!
Same
Its almost the same animation
@@kemalerdemsahin410 exactly 🤣🤣🤣
Namco Bandai truly did martial arts masters justice in this game so far. Law looks absolutely amazing as Bruce Lee this time around, and Leroy truly has the spirit of Ip Man in his moves. This is shaping up to be a great game.
Agreed, the original rage art makes wing chun seem like a fist focused technique but this one has trips and kicks added to it, shame there's no elbow though
He's probably going to be a main figure in the series now, he's popular. Seeing him gameplay makes me what to get back into tekken.
dat 1 inch punch to Marshall Law was dirty
This was definitely unexpected. I didn't think this would be the next trailer. Goodness Leroy is a beast
They reveal characters that appeared on that Tekken Netflix series
fightinggm called it first.
THEN LEI?!? OH GOD PLEASE I SAW HIM FOR 1 SECOND IN THAT SERIES HE MUST BE IN TEKKEN 8!?!? RIGHT!?!
@@burds_do_fly7660 I liked that animated series. I'm glad they didn't make King a pushover. They damn near made him unstoppable
Why does everyone, and I mean everyone they’ve shown so far is so cool looking and flashy, T8 is going to be insane 😭
Leroy Smith is so cool
Alright. If I end up getting into tekken this dude's 100% my main. I haven't been a fan of a lot of the designs I've seen, but this is where it's at.
Yessir Leroy is on the main roster! He's one of my favorites in Tekken 7, he has those "The Last Dragon" type vibes to him. He's another fighter I've been learning and can't wait to dive into him more in T8. The drip is real!
Yea more like shonuf who is the master lol😂
I always said he felt like Bruce Leeroy and Sho'nuff combined
He got the glow
@@resewatson402 Who's the baddest, prettiest, low down, mofo of all.
Damn just seeing someone know what "The Last Dragon" is in the wilde is amazing.
Fantastic trailer. Amazing moves. The hype train is stronger than ever now!
Wow I didn’t think they’d add him back, and he’s looking so good as well.
Yoooo his rage art with the Dragon animation? Sickkkkkkk. Leroy needs to come with the yellow caution sign, too much drip can be bad for opponents health. Love that new air throw attack and he has some of the dopest heat engager moves! The dripness of Wing Chun on full display!
Using Wing Chun to beat someone with Jeet Kune Do is quite the metaflex.
Lol it was amazing.
"time to take out the trash" - me, when it's time to take out the trash
Aside from being a Law player, I also played as Leroy so it's great to see him again in Tekken 8
I'll say this tho, I'll actually give this man a fair chance in this game and try him out for once
💯
Agreed
the badass man
Same look cool
Exactly my thoughts. I actually like him now and I have no fears that I’d lose him in the next game lmao
That rage dragon fist is FIRE.
He most definitely have the best fighting combos so far
LETS GOOOO I was hoping he would be in Tekken 8 one of my favorite characters he's so dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This looks so insanely cool I'm gonna cry as a Tekken fan 🥲
Dang Leroy Smith is back!! Glad to see him on tekken 8! Such a cool character!
Plus points:Sugar looks so DRIPPED OUT as well!
Leroy returning isn’t a huge surprise, but I’m glad to have him back. He was easily the best newcomer of Tekken 7, & clearly Bandai Namco knows it.
i was surprised. i thought all the hate would have convinced namco not to bring him back, but i'lm glad he is back. now i'm wondering about fak.
@@josepartida1711 Leroy was in the anime. Leroy was also teased in the earlier T8 stage along with no. With lee and bob. Fahk is likely to comeback as well as Lidia. Their dlc was extremely successful. I bet they will b returning.
Close, but hes no Lucky Chloe
Harada always wanted a wing chun character in tekken even back then but the chinese-japan feud made it hard. It was actually surprising they finally got to do it in t7.
@@malapertfourohfour2112 who cares.
Leroy is sooo cool
This game is looking amazing! I haven’t played Tekken is ages but seeing this is making me want to play right now.
I'm so happy he's in the base roster now 🙌🙌 He deserves it
Cannot freaking wait to play this game!
I KNEW HE WAS GON' MAKE IT! HERE WE GO!!!
I really enjoy playing in Tekken 7 as leroy smith because he has it. The Wing Chun Kung-Fu, his appearance, that little British bulldog.
Yes we can play Leroy for free in Tekken 8! Let's hope the other DLC Newcomers from Tekken 7 are in this game.
Hopefully.
Guarantee. Fahkuram will be in along Lidia
I hope not
I'd be shocked if Lidia doesn't get in, fahk has a slimmer chance because josie and bruce
I’d rather have Bruce back. Lidia and Fahk I have no interest in coming back. New Kunimitsu is fine. Lucky Chloe is fine. Claudio is fine.
Leroy looks INCREDIBLE. T8 is going to be wild
Leroy and Lidia are the best new entries since tekken 3. I really hope to see Lidia also at some point
The background to this stage is awesome, there is a building that says Leroy, and another that says Smith's Coffee
0:32 this is the ultimate epithet
Ah man the costume designs are sooo good! As a Yoshi main, i dont mind Yoshi being the last to be presented. Everyone admits that Yoshi's costume is gonna be wild and everyone expects it in every release. Cant wait what designs he'll have
Didn't Michael Murray say they're shelving Yoshi for T8 bc of the story?
