For decades, Tekken has represented the very best in fighting mechanics and the very worst in family dynamics. Now, Tekken 8 has entered the arena, boasting over 30 combatants just itching to throw down.
Keen to know who’s available to become your next main (the answer is King, though, it’s always King)? Let’s take a look at the full Tekken 8 character roster.

Of course, the most significant omission from the lineup is that old volcano hucker himself, Heihachi Mishima. Finally bested once and for all in the conclusion of Tekken 7, the King of the Iron Fist is dead — for the time being — and only appears in Tekken 8 as a cameo.
Those besmirched Heihachi mains out there may consider the newly minted Reina as a suitable replacement. A student of the Mishima Polytechnical School, she carries a similarly malevolent presence. Otherwise, you might like to peruse our Tekken 8 tiers list to see who’s currently the top dog (or panda)!
