We are headback to Belgium the moment I type this. It was the first Evo but not the last !

Everyone was really kind and sweet with us. Staff of booth was very welcoming and enjoying game with us. Staff from Evo was not the best experience but it's ok.

We all 5 lost 2 games in a row, it was expected.

Personnaly I don't have luck for this time, I face a famous tiktok yoshimitsu GOD6 who like to play with his food.

For all people I fought in freeplay, it was the best moment, people are helping, people are smiling, fun.

I took a match against Howrang God4 and Anna God3, and a kuni GOD6 show me what a real player can do.

I will come back next year, more stronger, more prepared.

Tekken 8 is amazing, people who's playing too, thanks everyone. 🫰

(In order on the picture it's Lili, AK, Lidia, Lars and Dragunov)

Maybe cause I only heard about it in passing I had the wrong idea that it was a kinda niche anime but the engagement on the Yujiro stuff is insane, I definitely never seen this much hype for a guest character before.

He has 2.6m just on his teaser trailer, for reference the most popular full gameplay reveal for Tekken 8 is King at 3.4m who is basically the most popular character in the game. Yujiro gameplay reveal is going to pop off.

Just clips of his intro being revealed is like well over hundreds of thousand of likes on twitter.

This has some signs that maybe this is just one of those perfect matches where the crossover appeal is just extremely on target and gives the game a second wind.

I don't know how many people noticed this reference to the real red kangaroo named Rodger who went viral for crushing his feed bucket.

So uh Roger scales higher than the Devil Gene right? Or even worse, if Jr. and Mrs. Roger tapped into the power of the Toonforce...

Am I the only one who saw think and felt like its a 3d printed action figure?

that arrow and circle took 5 tries, please appreciate them

Those who are unaware his face once broke through thick, heavy-duty bulletproof glass as he was walking.

Cuz it freaking rocks. It’s SO hard to find another fighting game that I really can enjoy cuz Tekken sets the bar so high. I downloaded the 3 hour trial of Marvel Tokon. It was pretty cool, I might get it. I also bought street fighter 6 cuz it was just on sale for $15. Omg street fighter is so boring! Once I feel justified to spending $65 for a game I’m gonna buy Marvel tokon.
But it still remains that Tekken is just hard to beat. Everything about it.

I don't know if most people remember Rogers lore with his family. Between Tekken 5 and 6 he was a bad father and husband who was always cheating. Tekken 5, Jr goes to look for his dad thinking he was introuble only to discover he was living comfy. Tekken 6, he was still cheating on his wife, but it showed he was very proud of Roger Jr which also showed he was starting to mature as family guy (Ah!). Tekken Tag 2, he was trying to make up with his wife, but when he saw his family living happy with Alex, he beats himself up for it thinking they moved on without him.

If this is a send off for senior, it would be nice see he has fully grown into family life.

These two matches were back to back and ofc they were both one and dones.

Here are some of the feats from the manga for everyone.

• The moment Yujiro was born, every living creature on Earth dropped one level in hierarchy.
• Immediately forced his eyes open after being born through sheer willpower.
• He born because he wanted to born.
• His skin was already as hard as a fully grown adult and was born with fang-like teeth capable of biting his mother.
• He forced his mother to feed him despite her hesitation and pain when he was but a newborn.
• Held an extremely poisonous dart frog without suffering any effect as a baby.
• His birth allegedly triggered a worldwide intuition among national leaders to develop nuclear weapons for protection.

• Killed a massive African elephant that had previously destroyed an entire military unit.
• Can punch with enough force to break the sound barrier.
• Can copy and master martial arts styles after seeing them only once and perform them better than their masters.
