Yeah it’s about time his sword ACTUALLY started stealing people’s souls/life force/energy in some meaningful way, even if it’s purely visual. I kind of hope it’s integrated into his gameplay however as some kind of useful attack or ability. That’s sort of what I picked up on from seeing his gameplay, but my theory could always be wrong. Who knows?
@@HardDanceShuffler10 basically, Yoshi's sword, which is also called Yoshimitsu, is a living thing that demands that he keeps feeding the souls of strong fighters (can't remember if it's strong fighters, or just people in general) into it, and if he doesn't continuously keep doing that then it will devour his soul.
Yoshimitsu looks amazing with his combined moveset from Tekken/Soul Calibur and his rage art; and love his rivalry intro with Bryan after the events of T5!
Yoshimitsu is always one of the coolest and most fun Tekken characters to watch. His new design is great, it’s very clearly inspired by his Tekken 3 one and I like that he seems to have some Soul Calibur moves now too. Which is a good move seeing as the future of the Soul Calibur series is up in the air.
You can blame Tekken for the death of soul calibur hopefully it we get a new one because i love SC6 which still need a damn Rollback Netcode hurry up Namco!
First time came across Tekken 1 at an arcade and fell in love with Yoshimitsu…. Never enjoyed playing with any other since then. Now waiting for 8…. Almost there!
I love this new wave in fighting games of our beloved characters reckoning with their past decisions, failures, and demons both literal and figurative. Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, and now Tekken are certainly growing with us. I've been a Yoshimitsu main since I was 7, and it's amazing to see Tekken going just as strong after all this time.
The Yoshimitsu skins can be a hit or a miss depending on the game. This one looks like a combination of the two Yoshimitsu skins of Tekken 3, and it looks phenomenal!
I wish my cousin was still alive so he could witness this, he was a Yoshimitsu main since Tekken 3, I remember him getting 100% achievements on Tekken 7.
I love Yoshimitsu ... He was always so freaking awsum and love him when he cross worlds to Soul Calibur ... Love when he does his sword dance😂😂 he's gonna be a deadly foe
Na artwork do Tekken 3, dá pra ver a parte ao redor dos olhos dele. Na artwork do Tekken 4, também dá pra ver uma parte da cabeça se ser zoom (até uma orelha), e no Tekken 5 dá pra ver uma pequena fração do rosto dele (do lado dos dentes da máscara). Em boa parte dos jogos de Tekken dá pra ver alguma parte humana (nas artworks pelo menos, in game alguns não dá pra ver, com a versão do 4 e 5) só a do Tekken 6 que não tenho certeza se teria alguma parte visivelmente humana
This is the saddest story I have ever heard. Please accept my thoughts at least when I say I'm sorry you didn't get to experience previous Tekkens in your entire life, especially during a period we might call 'its Golden Age'. Life can't be harsh sometimes. Enjoy yourself with this new Tekken as if it were your last one. Hopefully it brings with it its ultimate quality and heritage.

It would ruin the character. Not everything needs to be fully fleshed out until any creativity or originality runs dry. Especially if we're talking about something with mystique as a core part of its essence.
I think they should play with more lore to him. They could say that Yoshimitsu is indeed a race, explaining the lots of different models trough time. And maybe putting one of them as the final boss. That would be cool!
Standing applause to you TEKKEN 8 Dev Team! I was waiting for this reveal for quite some time! This Yoshi design brings me back to the Legendary T3 design that I love!

Can't wait to jump into the full game on release! Keep up the great work!

Is it just me or does this feel like a blend between T3 Yoshimitsu and SC II Yoshimitsu? (Mainly, the color). Either way, really cool to see what they've done with him this time around. Love that for his finisher they really leaned hard into the Samurai angle, probably the most cinematic out of all the ones shown so far.
You can tell they decided to lean heavily into the more demonic design theme that he had in Soul Cal 6, and give it a more modern and cybernetic style. And it’s really dam awesome. Might be my new favorite look of his.

@@johntravolta8389 Yes, we need all the gimmicks lol but i am not sure how they will balanced. They might not have them all for that reason. He still looks great. I just loved all his gimmick moves, he was alwaya the most interesting character imo since tekken 3 for sure...
@@johntravolta8389 I think id rather see him be more balanced, so that he could actually be usable in higher lvl play. We barely got to see him used in the top tournaments. Why not just make him a tad OP....Why nnot have an S or A tier
not just Yoshi, this new Tekken got more fluid animations, no jumping frames and exploitable animation cancels.
Yes I agree I also like his Tekken 7 look
About time this guy's moveset was more actually using his sword than just holding it in his hand while he punches
The legend himself is back and more Yoshimitstu than ever!
The wall combo with the sword was SICK!
I like to call it the Manji Meatspin 0:57.
@@sushigimmeyou’re goated
@@sushigimme I hate you now because if it isn't actually called that in the combo list, I'll be extremely disappointed.
Love the fact that in the design choice: there's a visual homage to his Tekken 3 model..
which was the most iconic model in terms of outfit, voice and theme music (imo), well done Bamco 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
The Space Ninja returns more badass than ever!!!
This “Samurai Ultron” aesthetic is really cool.
hello 90s gridman
I LOVE Yoshi's improved kabuki style voice and acting. I really would love to play this char if it wasn't my mate's main.
Yoshimitsu is my all time favorite Tekken characters of all time, and this is the best look I've seen in this game. He basically looks like his Tekken 3 design, but all futuristic.
Complete legend
@@Soul_oblivion
Oh yeah, it is...😏😎
Yoshimitsu is also my all-time favorite character. Been spending time pulling off the Yoshinanigans since Tekken 1. Truly a cut above the rest.
Can't have Tekken without him
Tekken is NOT Tekken without Yoshimitsu
Damn straight...
I love the fact that he is the only character who is using a sword in a fighting game where everyone is fighting barehanded 😂
@@Omega-jg4oq Well we got Victor now so we can have epic sword fights. Let's not forget the characters that use firearms in their movesets as well.
What about Eddy?
1:46 this is some Senbonzakura Kageyoshi type deal, and I'm all for it.
they made the ninja into a kabuki like character. interesting
Tekken is incomplete without Yoshimitsu
Bluds a T1 character he aint ever leaving
Yep this trailer confirmed me buyin' it lol.
They have NEVER once missed with Yoshimitsu's design, he always looks so damn cool dude. And that stage is just super dope. Welcome back, Legendary Swordsman! 🎉
You took long enough to appear, Yoshimitsu
Ehhhh I think 5's main design was kind of lame, but his 2p was one of his best looks so it's even.
@@LAZY-RUBY yoshimitsu with a large ass hat is always the way to go
I know it’s been a while since he was shown, and the games out now, but we still gotta appreciate how this is the best Yoshi design since Tekken 3/Tag 1.
Tekken is not Tekken without Yoshimitsu
Yoshimitsu has one of the best designs in fighting games.Great to see him back.
I love how the sword is slowly absorbing the enemy's life. Kinda reminds me of Onimusha.
Thats how it used to function but they changed it after tekken 4. You used to be able to rob the opponents attacks like death fist or electrics and use it against them 🥴
Soul Calibur introduced that to his character and it fits really well. I'm glad they're carrying over that mechanic into Tekken.
Question, who is”ONIMUSHA” your talking about?
Reminds me of Ragna's Drive from the Blazblue games.
“This is Katana. She's got my back. I would advise not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the souls of its victims.”
This guy and king are the only two characters I remember from my childhood
This is the best trailer of Tekken 8, I have seen by now 👌
It’s been said a million times before but the stages look great, also his design looks cool🤝🏾
Yoshimitsu always has the coolest design in both tekken and soulcalibur!
God Bless Namco for create Yoshimitsu
do you think we will get Soul Calibur 7 in a couple of years?
@@joelbalbuena26yep, soulcalibur vi sold well, bandai namco always release tekken for first and then soulcalibur, we will probably get some info at the beginning of jenuary 2025 after the tekken 8 hype cooled down
@@joelbalbuena26 yeah I think so! They usually alternate releases since it's the same company and they don't want direct competition. SC6 didn't get announced until Tekken 7 was in it's second season of DLC.
This is my fav character ever since I was a kid.
Those sound effects for the sword hits are FUCKING SICK!!!
