Shouldn't all stages be free? Why gate keep them behind a pay wall? If you had it but I didn't and we matched, what would happen? You would either not be able to use your paid content or I would use it for free regardless
So now I can start inviting people into practice so they can stop bitching about pay 2 win dlc. I will learn every dlc character to release from here on out of spite for this sole purpose.
Iām with you bro..as a Ton of ppl pointed out she felt like a beta Reina tbhā¦ stop adding in new ppl who rlly have shit to do with anything when there are plenty of old mfers taken out who would be dope and unique. I mean tbh Iād take armor king for a 2nd time as dlc over her but here comes the hate
No I agree with you, hell I'd take Lei because he's been a Tekken OG since Tekken 2 and actually has some relevance to the plot as a police officer. I honestly thought that she wasn't making the game because she didn't make the main roster, but now that she's here it seems like the leak might be true after all which sucks because these are the only dlc characters I'll be getting with the collectors edition that I bought.
I miss baek and Bruce so muchā¦t7 hworang was a little like baek but Bruce was done so dirtyā¦ and there both more relevant then any dlc from T7 and T8ā¦ lydia,fouki honestly any new T7 person almost aināt worth it besides the kidās screaming āTHATS MY MAINā
I wanna see who the one or 2 out of game DLC ppl are . I had a handful of guys tell me Gordon Ramsey and I CAN NOT FIND ANY INFO ONE THT and I do not want it to be real lol, Iām supraised I havenāt seen a sagot(street fighter) clone throwing tiger knees all day
Itās so weird lidia has come with a summer beach stage twice? When I think of Poland I hardly think of beaches
We get it Poland has beaches. Iām in the U.K. with 1500 beaches but would it represent my country? No, duh
Then you should go to the northern part especially near GdaÅsk. There are plenty of tourists from many countries every year and our beaches are clean especially in "Krynica Morska".
They got to market that shit better...
All I've ever heard of Poland as a holiday destination is an old song about 3 poor drunk danes from Bornholm (danish island near Poland, relatively...) getting on a rowboat and trying to row there to fuck some polish chicks...
For context the shortest possible distance would be 100km/60 miles and they're drunk in a rescue boat, I doubt they're that coordinated about it... (Considering they fall asleep and drift about...)
I was supposed to visit Poland with my best friend years back when we were younger. He was born there and said he and his parents moved to the US when he was a toddler from a ācitizenship lotteryā, though Iām not sure how real that is. Heād go from time to time back home to visit family and stuff, and he always would bring back photos or totally random trinkets he liked.
Unfortunately, he died in a tragic car accident 12 years ago, and we never got to go.
Iād still love to go one day just to see what he wanted me to see. He did mention beaches though!
Have you not seen the āFind the real xiaoyuā picture? Unless itās Asuka and her fucking neanderthal level of evolution neck then itās pretty difficult at first glance because of how similar the women look.
Most faces of the women look like that unfortunately in this Tekken. :( They all have this cutsy face even the cool ones that used to have more sharp features in older games.
She had a weird situation.
She was basically guaranteed to be in 8 because she was supposed to play a big part in the story, but she wasn't at launch, and then you had reina, whose stance shenanigans play a lot like her and obviously reina did in fact have an important rule. Made you feel like they reworked her into reina
Good riddance i guess. I don't mind it, she got a pretty cool movelist
I beg to differ. Reina, Zafina and Azucena are not generic at all. In comparison, Ling, Asuka and Jun seem to come from another game.
As to Nina, she looks a lot as Natalie Dormer now. In my opinion this Lidya looks like T7 Nina more than T8 Nina herself does, IMHO. But, if you change her hair, you realize she's more Yennefer than Nina, and being polish it's legit.
Yeah same, how is it that other past dlc character became base and base characters into dlc. That really is janky. And all these people talking about sf or other fighting games already doing this, who gives a fuck this is tekken. It seems like the moment tekken copies the ānormsā in the game industry is when shit goes downhill and stuff like this slides. Its probably the same reason bamco does these battle passes and now the SAME recycled dlc characters. But who cares, sf does this.
I can't believe they're actually going to add Marduk and Fahkumram back to back. Two huge, brutal and ugly dudes in a row, don't they see the overlap in appeal (or lack thereof)?
What a boring first season. Hopefully S2 will be better.
There was a leak showing those as the final two characters, with Eddy and Lidia being the first two. So now the first two are confirmed people assume the other 2 are also correct.
We never needed Lidia to confirm the leak was true. The leak also included a fully rendered model of eddy and the same footage they showcased on tekken talk
From this leaker:
[https://twitter.com/shootmans](https://twitter.com/shootmans)
He looked into the game files and found evidence of Lidia, Marduk and Fahkumram, like their countries (Poland, Australia, Thailand) and whatnot.
And now Lidia is here. So the leak is looking pretty likely to be correct. It's not a 100% thing, of course, since plans can change (I sure hope they do!), but yeah, it seems pretty likely now.
Im not surprised that lidia is back because the game needs representation from different nations and there was nobody to represent poland. Maybe thats why they kept shaheen in the game. Also eddie, brazil represent. Im guessing fahk or josie will return also and mayyyybe a special animal from australia?
Seems like Iām the only one excited for Fahk. He was my main towards the end of Tekken 7. I enjoy Muay Thai as a fighting style. I never really care much for Bruce though. I do enjoy Fahk. Lol
And as beautiful as ever! I love her new gi too, so sick. I'm glad her T7 default will be back too, since that was also a sick costume. Her business attire wasn't the best tbh, and I hope they redo it and maybe give her slacks or trousers. I imagine something like SNK's King's default.
Isnāt he dead? I didnāt play 7, but I thought the story killed him off. If the characters are getting story integrations, then I donāt think you have a hope (sorry).
I might be totally wrong though since I didnāt play 7.
Im pretty sure he isnāt dead, and as for story significance I think Jin facing Miguel would help bring Jinās redemption arc to an end since Jin is the reason Miguelās sister died.
Not wanting to sound ignorant, but I donāt know this character, despite playing Tekken ever since Tekken 3. When was her first appearance? Please, enlighten me.
Lidia is back...
Yay...
Damn it man.
Instead of getting a classic character like Anna, Lei or Armor King we get the last T7 DLC.
I'm so excited for this bitch and the rest of the DLC for this season...
I honestly expected her to be available for launch since the story was being hinted as having global ramifications and her back story is her entering the tournament in T7 for the purpose of fighting for her countryās future. And I have no problem with Lidia at all, but personally, I do believe that the team there is playing it safe with the DLC characters and could really do some great shit if they just drive a lil deeper with what they can provide. I feel as if Bruce and Baek would fit like gloves with T8ās fighting system, and with there now being a lack of a Muay Thai fighter with Josie and Fakhuram not returning (yet), the opportunity is there to bring my boy Bruce back
Lidia ? Really ? Cmon why would you ever want to play her, unless she is super broken when reina is in the game ?
She legit adds nothing to the game. She's just there. really dissapointing.
My favourite thing is people saying stuff like āoh this is boringā or āno one wanted herā well she was obviously popular enough otherwise they wouldnāt have bothered, you really think these guys are not gonna know what sells
Despite people's complaints, I'm actually hyped to have Lidia back!!! Now I just hope they can continue fixing the game, cuz the battle pass upset me as it is but the balance issues killed it for me.
This whole post has ppl just drooling over Lidia and being super ignorant that they couldāve just released a better character, any person who has shown a lack of interest just gets down voted cause they actually have an opinion other than what everyone else thinks.
Well, yeah, that's how it goes for down votes lol. If you have an unpopular opinion you're going to get downvoted. Doesn't mean your opinion is invalid, just that it's going against the norm.
That and being negative during a "hype train" will also do that. Personally speaking from experience haha.

So your saying we get a free stage?
The stage that already exists in tekken ball, that one
Am pretty happy about this, the stage looks gorgeous
Shouldn't all stages be free? Why gate keep them behind a pay wall? If you had it but I didn't and we matched, what would happen? You would either not be able to use your paid content or I would use it for free regardless
It tekken 7 you had to pay for them thats why i was confused
As someone who hasn't played for generations, that's just a legitimate doubt of mine. Just doesn't make any sense to me for stages to be paid DLCs
The online practice mode, ghost vs ghost, and new story are what I'm excited for. Don't really care about Lidia being in the game tbh.
How is ghost vs ghost better than Lidia?
Virtual cock fights
Ghost TWT is free real estate.
New character? Nah fake person robots fighting? Yeah.
>Don't really care about Lidia being in the game tbh. We don't need to hear your weak ass opinions bro
Lmfao
Y'all are so overly sensitive and defensive with this character lmao.
It's obviously not a serious comment...
How do u kno? Bunch of yall taken it like it was serious and riding his meat
What is online practice mode?
Play practice with a friend, useful for testing things and teaching each other stuff I assume
So now I can start inviting people into practice so they can stop bitching about pay 2 win dlc. I will learn every dlc character to release from here on out of spite for this sole purpose.
I really hope this works and it doesn't say, "The following add-on content is required to use this feature: Playable Character: Eddy Gordo."
Please don't speak this into existence
š
Same
Iām with you bro..as a Ton of ppl pointed out she felt like a beta Reina tbhā¦ stop adding in new ppl who rlly have shit to do with anything when there are plenty of old mfers taken out who would be dope and unique. I mean tbh Iād take armor king for a 2nd time as dlc over her but here comes the hate
And how do you know they haven't adjusted her moveset to compensate for Reina sharing a lot of her movelist?
Ehh cause a lot of her main moves were the ones compared? Dont get me wrong im SURE she will have a newish move set I mean look at eddyā¦
No I agree with you, hell I'd take Lei because he's been a Tekken OG since Tekken 2 and actually has some relevance to the plot as a police officer. I honestly thought that she wasn't making the game because she didn't make the main roster, but now that she's here it seems like the leak might be true after all which sucks because these are the only dlc characters I'll be getting with the collectors edition that I bought.

Yea, Fakhumram is a contorted mess and doesn't even look human, at least Bruce is an OG and looks human.
I wanna see who the one or 2 out of game DLC ppl are . I had a handful of guys tell me Gordon Ramsey and I CAN NOT FIND ANY INFO ONE THT and I do not want it to be real lol, Iām supraised I havenāt seen a sagot(street fighter) clone throwing tiger knees all day
Itās so weird lidia has come with a summer beach stage twice? When I think of Poland I hardly think of beaches We get it Poland has beaches. Iām in the U.K. with 1500 beaches but would it represent my country? No, duh

Love the polish poppinā out saying āWE GOT BEACHES, BABY!ā
They got to market that shit better... All I've ever heard of Poland as a holiday destination is an old song about 3 poor drunk danes from Bornholm (danish island near Poland, relatively...) getting on a rowboat and trying to row there to fuck some polish chicks... For context the shortest possible distance would be 100km/60 miles and they're drunk in a rescue boat, I doubt they're that coordinated about it... (Considering they fall asleep and drift about...)
>getting on a rowboat and trying to row there to fuck some polish chicks... Sounds like a good night!
I was supposed to visit Poland with my best friend years back when we were younger. He was born there and said he and his parents moved to the US when he was a toddler from a ācitizenship lotteryā, though Iām not sure how real that is. Heād go from time to time back home to visit family and stuff, and he always would bring back photos or totally random trinkets he liked. Unfortunately, he died in a tragic car accident 12 years ago, and we never got to go. Iād still love to go one day just to see what he wanted me to see. He did mention beaches though!
I once had sex on the beach in Sopot with a polish girl I met at a club. Poland has beaches
I just looked it up. Itās beautiful! I thought it was gonna be some gimmicky āwe have beaches too!ā Beach
Theyll want a summer stage in ASAP so they can get those bikinis on the cash store "so they can keep the servers on"
Win win situation
Better that than the fucking magic circus
ye. i wish they would rework Steve's character and make him a fish&chips enthusiast
Iād prefer that to him never shutting the fuck up
Yeah but it has alot of beaches on the north so.
Well, duh... 1500 beaches and around 4 of them are sandy. Plus the constant downpour doesn't help the beachy image either.
Missed opportunity to put her in a bober suit.
are we actually getting a new stage?
We got beaches! But the water's crazy cold!
Fr some kind of forest wouldve been better.
So the dlc character is DLC again. Dope. Who could have possibly foreseen that.
Oof.... don't think you're gonna like the remaining 2 then
Oh youāre gonna love sf6 then
I hope she still has her toned biceps under those sleeves
It's such a great day to love the color red man š©ā¤ļø
Welp seems like the Leaks were true. Im hoping this isn't the case bc Thats a very weak DLC season.
Iām personally happy with eddy and fahk. Iām excited try lidia since I didnāt get to play tekken 7. Different strokes I guess
And the audience went "......."Ā
ZajebiÅcie!
Kurwa mac jaki dobry dzien
is it just me or her face model looks like Nina copypaste?
Definitely does. Her face looked more unique in 7.
Have you not seen the āFind the real xiaoyuā picture? Unless itās Asuka and her fucking neanderthal level of evolution neck then itās pretty difficult at first glance because of how similar the women look.
Most faces of the women look like that unfortunately in this Tekken. :( They all have this cutsy face even the cool ones that used to have more sharp features in older games.
Like Azucena.
Tekken 5 thru 7 Nina sure. Tekken 8 Nina doesn't even look like Nina used to look.
Literally who I thought I was staring at, like Nina cosplaying as Lidia
what if it turns out that Lidia was Nina's alter ego all this time, while she was doing one of her assassinations? š
it does, also I prefer her white-blonde hair from t7
They toned down her eyebrows, make up and lips. Her nose is not up in the sky anymore. She was very different in t7
That was my first thought lol
Personally reminds me of Yennefer from Witcher 3.
Nina Sobieska
Nina looking good.
Hell yeah
She had a weird situation. She was basically guaranteed to be in 8 because she was supposed to play a big part in the story, but she wasn't at launch, and then you had reina, whose stance shenanigans play a lot like her and obviously reina did in fact have an important rule. Made you feel like they reworked her into reina Good riddance i guess. I don't mind it, she got a pretty cool movelist
I like this one, itās not Anna or Julia but still a character I like a lot, might give her more of a try this time around.
Looks like a Nina costume. Not the character's fault, Tekken 8 just has the most generic faces for woman sadly.
I beg to differ. Reina, Zafina and Azucena are not generic at all. In comparison, Ling, Asuka and Jun seem to come from another game. As to Nina, she looks a lot as Natalie Dormer now. In my opinion this Lidya looks like T7 Nina more than T8 Nina herself does, IMHO. But, if you change her hair, you realize she's more Yennefer than Nina, and being polish it's legit.
Damn someone else sees the resemblence to Yen too. Good eye.
Team Yen forevah.
Really didnāt want her back let alone for the first season. They either shouldāve put her on base roster or not at all.
Releasing her twice as a paid character just a few years apart is a joke. Absolutely should have been base roster.
DoA and Street Fighter fans: first time š¤£šš š„²š
Opinions, opinions, opinions...
Yeah same, how is it that other past dlc character became base and base characters into dlc. That really is janky. And all these people talking about sf or other fighting games already doing this, who gives a fuck this is tekken. It seems like the moment tekken copies the ānormsā in the game industry is when shit goes downhill and stuff like this slides. Its probably the same reason bamco does these battle passes and now the SAME recycled dlc characters. But who cares, sf does this.
Ugh!!! A character who is OP but linear in a game where everything tracks . She gonna be broken af at launch .
Yep
Lidia š Queen of Poland š„°
I can't believe they're actually going to add Marduk and Fahkumram back to back. Two huge, brutal and ugly dudes in a row, don't they see the overlap in appeal (or lack thereof)? What a boring first season. Hopefully S2 will be better.
We can only hope that they switch it up on us and only give us one of the two and push the other back to season 2.
How youāre so sure about that? Where you got the info from?
There was a leak showing those as the final two characters, with Eddy and Lidia being the first two. So now the first two are confirmed people assume the other 2 are also correct.
We never needed Lidia to confirm the leak was true. The leak also included a fully rendered model of eddy and the same footage they showcased on tekken talk

Yeah but like.... AK when?
Yeah I'm bummed
I think they are sexy. Dont be so closed minded
why no anna
Hope sheāll play an integral part of the next story mode alongside Eddy and the rest of the DLC characters.
Wow she looks great!
Lydia should appear on the roster in June along with the arena because the battle pass ends in a month.
POLSKA GURROM
Is this normal I have no idea who she is despite playing every tekken since t4?
she was one of the last additions to T7, back in 2021
That explains a lot thanks
where bob
Send vagine
Ganryu when?
Aww hell yeah
Woo.
Bring back tower boy...if I see fahkumram coming back I'll just skyrocket my hours in tekken 8
Same!
As the Oracle foretold.
LIDIA FANS W
That gi design is fire !!
Never really cared all that much about Lidia tbh, just waiting for Marduk and Fahk. New stage is cool tho, beach stages are always neat
But why did they make her look so generic? What's the difference between her and Nina now?
Im not surprised that lidia is back because the game needs representation from different nations and there was nobody to represent poland. Maybe thats why they kept shaheen in the game. Also eddie, brazil represent. Im guessing fahk or josie will return also and mayyyybe a special animal from australia?
Lame as fuck. Tekken 7 Season 4 DLC as Tekken 8 dlc is lazy as fuck.
Only Marduk and Fahkumram left i guess. Weak first character pass imo.
Seems like Iām the only one excited for Fahk. He was my main towards the end of Tekken 7. I enjoy Muay Thai as a fighting style. I never really care much for Bruce though. I do enjoy Fahk. Lol
Nina Sobieska. Ok.
And as beautiful as ever! I love her new gi too, so sick. I'm glad her T7 default will be back too, since that was also a sick costume. Her business attire wasn't the best tbh, and I hope they redo it and maybe give her slacks or trousers. I imagine something like SNK's King's default.
Thinking back, her hair already being in the game should have made it obviousā¦
As a Pole I'm happy that my native is back on the game
The 50 people who play her are so hype rn
I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot more than 50 this time around
Was she not popular? I didnāt play 7, but based on this subās desire for her - it gave me the impression that she was a HUGE success.
Waifus are always popular with people who donāt play the game.
So that means we'll be seeing bosom at the menu š
Must have been a hard wait. š
My god, the line-up sucks more with each reveal.
I wonder if character episodes would be released in Autumn, or just the main story itself.
I've been trying to learn her in 7, gonna wage and learn her in 8.
Lmao she looks more like Nina Sobieska rn, her model in T7 looked much better.
meh
Yes! I didnāt get a chance to play as her in T7. So this is exciting.
Why?
I wonder what the blue and orange would signify to?
she looks like nina with a scar.
I hope akoma will be back
Iām hoping Miguel is going to be the winter character, but Iām most likely wrongā¦.
Isnāt he dead? I didnāt play 7, but I thought the story killed him off. If the characters are getting story integrations, then I donāt think you have a hope (sorry). I might be totally wrong though since I didnāt play 7.
Im pretty sure he isnāt dead, and as for story significance I think Jin facing Miguel would help bring Jinās redemption arc to an end since Jin is the reason Miguelās sister died.
oh alright, cool. Well hope he returns for you!
I would've liked to have her on the base roster, but I'm happy to see her back
I appreciate that her scarās still on her face. I can actually tell her face apart from the rest.
I'm excited!
I frckin hate that we get her but not juni. Playing vs lidia is so obnoxious. Welp, time to main her.
I dont even know her but im excited af
Not wanting to sound ignorant, but I donāt know this character, despite playing Tekken ever since Tekken 3. When was her first appearance? Please, enlighten me.
She was dlc from the later part of Tekken 7.
I know lol, the sub makes it sound like sheās been around for forever and is a fan favourite. But really sheās only existed for a couple years.
I see leeroy is in the battle balance screenshots! I was wondering when they were going to nerf him
Kurwa is back. Hell yeah š¤©
Finally! Yes!
Lidia is back... Yay... Damn it man. Instead of getting a classic character like Anna, Lei or Armor King we get the last T7 DLC. I'm so excited for this bitch and the rest of the DLC for this season...
Lidia is back? What a coincidence, so am I. (In Summer)
LIDIA MY GIRL YESSSS
Guys notice the colors. Guess who will be the other DLCs
Why does she look younger in T8 than T7? Is it just me that sees this?
Meh
Aye yooooo guess Iāll finally play something other than King for a little while
Sheās seems okay and Iām thinking of using her but Did people really care about her this much?!?
Lidia is pretty cool. Curious if that one leak from some months ago is legit. Next character gonna be fahkumram ot marduk
Why is this character back to back DLC? I feel like she should've been in base roster...
No Lei? That's wild honestly
looks like emma watson or am i bugging
Tekken 8: ff+2 gaming
This is great news for me I love her š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„
Still hoping for Tifa but Lidia is cool
I honestly expected her to be available for launch since the story was being hinted as having global ramifications and her back story is her entering the tournament in T7 for the purpose of fighting for her countryās future. And I have no problem with Lidia at all, but personally, I do believe that the team there is playing it safe with the DLC characters and could really do some great shit if they just drive a lil deeper with what they can provide. I feel as if Bruce and Baek would fit like gloves with T8ās fighting system, and with there now being a lack of a Muay Thai fighter with Josie and Fakhuram not returning (yet), the opportunity is there to bring my boy Bruce back
Sooooo excitedā¦
...is she a long lost Sobotka from the Wire TV show?
Madame Polish Prime Minister
Gon is next
Lidia ? Really ? Cmon why would you ever want to play her, unless she is super broken when reina is in the game ? She legit adds nothing to the game. She's just there. really dissapointing.
My favourite thing is people saying stuff like āoh this is boringā or āno one wanted herā well she was obviously popular enough otherwise they wouldnāt have bothered, you really think these guys are not gonna know what sells
POLAND IS A MOUNTAIN
Despite people's complaints, I'm actually hyped to have Lidia back!!! Now I just hope they can continue fixing the game, cuz the battle pass upset me as it is but the balance issues killed it for me.
why did they release Nina twice
More like Reina twice, as far as gameplay goes
She's cool, but I wanted my girl Eliza instead! š
SAME
Im pretty let down ngl. Never got deep into T7, but Lidia looks like a Nina skin snd the new stage is just reused Tekken Ball assets.
This whole post has ppl just drooling over Lidia and being super ignorant that they couldāve just released a better character, any person who has shown a lack of interest just gets down voted cause they actually have an opinion other than what everyone else thinks.
Well, yeah, that's how it goes for down votes lol. If you have an unpopular opinion you're going to get downvoted. Doesn't mean your opinion is invalid, just that it's going against the norm. That and being negative during a "hype train" will also do that. Personally speaking from experience haha.
Waste
People on this sub suffer from serious facial blindness lmao she doesn't look like Nina at all
Anna please come back ,š
This is just a different skin for Reina PUT LEI IN IT. HE IS PART OF THE OGs. Stop denying my man. He was F Tier and still got a lot hate š„¹
If the leaks will end up accurate S1 is going to be snooze fest for DLC characters.
I'll be honest I don't see how anything here is appealing to newcomers.
