TEKKEN 8 – King Gameplay Trailer

I will always love 2 things about King. 1: he only ever communicates in roars and growls 2: Everyone can understand him.

I love the thought of King delivering a promo in nothing but his signature roars and growls.

0:56 man's spitting straight facts

King embodies so many pro wrestlers; His mask and general style is based on the Tiger Masks, particularly the first and second Tiger Masks; Satoru Sayama and Mitsuharu Misawa, whose moves are also reflected in King's moveset, such as Sayama's Sobat Kick or Misawa's hard elbows and the Emerald Flowsion. His backstory of fighting to raise money for his orphanage is based on the real life story of a priest turned luchador named Fray Tormenta, whose story also loosely inspired Nacho Libre. And the guy responsible for actually mocapping the moves for King and bringing the insanity to life is legendary wrestler, the Murder Grandpa, Minoru Suzuki, who is also one of the founding fathers of modern MMA. King isn't just a pro wrestler, he is pro wrestling itself and I've always loved that about him. No secret about who I'm maining, huh? 🤣

0:56 That was such a moving speech. 😢

Judging by the views on their character trailers, King is the most famous Tekken fighter. It makes me happy since he's always been my favorite

Finally he's PASSED 2 million Indeed the KING!

The way King is taking hits like its nothing and comes back with a very impactful punch feels personal 😭

For anyone wondering why he has that lock as his rage art. It's because it's a throwback reference to Tekken 2 where he had the octopus stretch. It was an insta-kill throw he had. I love the little references Bamco is doing with their rage arts.

1:40 The Veins!!

King grabs mic King: "Grrrr grahh grohhhhh!" Audience: "Preach King! Amen brother!"

I had a friend called Edward who was a great king player in Tekken 3. He died a long time ago,and king always make me remember him. He really was a king fan from the first tekken

When he had the mic and all you can hear were growls, it made me smile from ear to ear. King is definitely an amazing character. So glad he's in the game.

0:53 bro really had to disrespect him by stepping on his knee 💀

1:43 the camera is not getting paid enough to take kings body slam

King doing that pedigree is amazing 👏

This was the trailer I've been waiting for.

0:51 That move always gets me fired up 🔥. Just can feel the anger with each hit, King is still at the top

this brought tears to my eyes... as a king main since childhood i couldn't be any happier! LETS GO KING
