Namco knows how to keep the fans happy, haha.
Every character trailer so far has been a must-see. And I have a feeling that Tekken 8 could even be better than the seventh installment.

Man, if only DOA6 had been just as good...

I hope you're right, but if the single-player content is as bad as in T7, then it's not for me.
And I was actually always a Tekken fan until New Orleans came out with MK11 and Injustice 2.

Awesome! My main character Mishima finally has new animation phases! It only took 20 years :)
Now all that's needed is extensive single-player content, a full roster including DLC ​​(ideally with Heihachi & Jinpashi), and decent guest characters from other fighting games.
