TEKKEN 8 - Dragunov Reveal & Gameplay Trailer 

Great grunts like always

Thank you! I'm flattered!

Actually OG VA Died, his name was Kenichi Morozumi.

​@@FiercelyFuriousRest in peace Kenichi 😢😢😢

Best voice performance in the last decade

He can't talk he is mewing

U forgot the animal too kuma panda rogar and wood mokujin

Absolutely goated comment

Wait.. Lili is a super human??

@@juicyjuicy22 bro both her and azcusena can just casually dodge a laser beam from a devil

I think Dragunov really needs to say Cyka Blyat during fights.

😂 I was like: Dude, why you crawling?

Just like The Joker :D

I thought I was the only one who thought he was from metal gear solid

He sure inspired by MGS the crawling it's the example other then explaing HUGE flexibility and strength by moving so fast and get instantly up

​@@bLAMURAmmhh thatz why I made him the joker in tekken 7 😼

Looks like a great win screen.

The ice attack was great...Shame he cannot do something like that as a normal attack. A lot of these characters make me want to try them despite not being bothered in previous games.

What are you looking at? Sergei Dragunov, probably, as he stares into the camera after beating Victor up.

friendly face of murder

He looks better than Steve Botched

And aggressive. Yes, the whole point of T8 is aggressiveness, but this guy takes the cake. He's ready to beat you to death in more ways than you can imagine. I do NOT want to be at the end of his fists.

And aggressive too.

He's literally the most boring one 😂

@@Samaelx.bro are you judging yourself

​@@Samaelx.Imaging Tekken with interesting characters, what a world it would be

Just look at the waste of bodies he have walked over and done with speaks enough what kind of character he is, words are meaningless when your fists and methods have or had done the necessity.

Oddly cute when he does that. Interesting.

Bro likes to sing but gets shy when he gets recorded

Dragunov hates the 4th wall 😂😂😂😂😂

Does he really? It's a tournament so they know they are being recorded. Same with Jack running into camera.

​@@jerzyk7724I was thinking that, I'm like "did he just break the 4th wall?" But I forgot a lot of people in T7 have breaking the camera/interacting with the camera outro. (Julia, Miguel, jack, lei.)

​@@GinGoukiyou forget Bryan

@@punmaster2332 him too! One of my favorites

Bruce, Josie, Fahkumram, Hwoarang, Baek

@@r3a1itygamezz14 Bruce is a kickboxer, and Fahkumram a Muay Thai practitioner, as far as I know. They don't seem to practice anything else. As for Hwoarang and Baek, if they also practice Hapkido, then, yes, they are also MMA fighters, but in a traditional sense. Not entirely sure about Josie Rizal.

not kickboxing it has karate. shotokan or kyokushin in kicks

@@ErnestoTorres-hw7du Striking-focused traditional martial arts tend to have not only similar, but outright identical techniques because either they have the same roots, the art stems from other art, or each practitioner come up with the same technique despite never meeting each other. Taekwondo, for example, has Karate as its parenthood, while Karate has Chinese martial arts (presumably Kenpo, Wushu, or Hung Gar). This is why you see both arts have Axe kick in among their techniques, as seen in Heihachi, Kazuya, Jin, Lee, Hwoarang, and Baek's movesets. The most commonly used technique that is shared by pretty much any striking-focused martial arts AND combat sports (that isn't boxing) is the Roundhouse kick. You see them in Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Sanda, Silat, Savate, and of course, Kickboxing. FYI, Muay Thai, Karate, and Taekwondo practitioners all compete in Kickboxing, and I assure you would hardly tell the difference whether the fighter practice Muay Thai, Karate, or Taekwondo, simply because of how similar (or, again, outright identical) most of their techniques are. That said (or TL;DR), the kicks you see in Bruce could belong to Kickboxing, Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, or any other striking-focused arts because they all have similar kicking techniques, so similar that if you show a Taekwondo practitioner Bruce's moveset, he/she would say Bruce's kicks are Taekwondo's.

​@@bre4kd0wn1​ Bruce is commonly accepted as Muay Thai I believe, especially since his lore has him as a MT champ. But more sport version as opposed to Fahkumram's traditional form. There's a video somewhere where some muay thai fighters react and comment that Fahkumram's form is closer to Muay Boran than the more common Muay Thai at times.

well said

His style is probably the most lethal in the entire game So many of his moves would either kill a person(neck break), make you unable to move properly(one of his 50 leg and arm breaking grabs), or can potentially give you permanent damage(the grab where he brutally knees the back of your head) He became my favorite Tekken character next to Kazuya

@@That-One-Spy-Main It's commando sambo, a russian martial art where the goal was to painfully injure your opponent as much as possible, although Drag's style of his Comm Sambo has a similar goal that Krav Maga has, to maim your opponent with the least time or effort, hence why so many of Dragunov's moves aim to inflict fractures.

Adding wrinkles to him is a good decision tbh. Bro's that old but his presence is something

I still like how he only "spoke" once in the Tekken 5(I think) arcade mode, and chuckled when he fought Raven.

​@@kielbasamagehe also talked saying "significant" and Alisa was "omg, you actually can talk!" In Tekken 6 scenario campaign

YES! That's the one I was thinking of.@@delinquentlord581

Они просто не знают русский бро))

0:35 Indeed so, Mario Games and Anime...😙🎶

0:39 Well, looks like the one Sergei Dragunov's "sees a hiding cameraman 📷" and then, he's just "telling him" to just get out of his sight yet...😅🤣🤣🤣

His presence is incredible

@@tropixx_xlr1549 That's *such an incredible presence* to be known right then, Tropixx_xlr1549 🚗

The fact he doesn't speak but likes to sing in his spare time will never not be funny to me.

Бро, мы в России не такие хмурые и злые как он) Я вообще не понимаю как этот образ вяжется с Россией)) Это скорее замерзший Мэрлин Мэнсон)))

@@RomKall😂

They made him look older but he is still 27

​@@RomKallRussians are flandarized the most.

@@Berd-Wasted. as Russian, I’m really tired of image of evil russian in movies and games. In every movie franchise, in every damn universe we can find bad bad russians. But at least, some of west movie makers, have abandoned the idea of red dress and bears on our streets)) its ok))

Drags finisher supports this

laughs in yoshimitsu

yeah, he doesn't even talk

Yeah but he's russian, so that makes him less cool

That jojo poseeee

"Thin ice"... I see what you did there

Eh.... Who?

​@@justiceavenger275русский певец

​​@@justiceavenger275 Alexandre Rewwa (also known as Artur Piroshkow), kinda popular media personality in Russian-speaking countries. He's face look kinda familiar to Dragunov. (Hop this help)

База.

you're here too? lol 😂

Russian/Japanese men never do

Actually he has smiled. Only once. In his ending in Tekken 6. Had to think about it for a moment and was like has he really never smiled? 😅

He smiled few times. His T6 & T7 ending

He actually used to smile/smirk a lot in previous entries lol. But I do like this colder approach better instead, making his personality a bit funnier (like him shoving the camera away) lol.

No, the sound fx are too, over the top right now. Everything sounds EPIC, so the sound engineering is imbalanced. Regular moves connecting shouldn't sound like a powerful blow as, say, in 'heat mode' or the RA. Everything sounding the same ruins the immersion imo.

Joint lock sounds still sounds goofy as ever tho

@@rraimundobruno True. A bone snapping irl is quite 'loud'...the scream of agony is way louder! O.O

Broke bones ? You or any normal human beings would be dead from a power crush 😅

@@Sepia1989 Of course, we would! Tekken's regular fighters that aren't a Mishima or a Kazama with the devil gene are obviously, far stronger than the strongest, fittest human being in our world today. Apart from the ability to juggle someone's full bodyweight in the air lol, we have characters like Paul who can punch through a solid, brick wall. You know the physics behind someone being able to do that? It's impossible. Jack or Bryan doing it totally makes sense because they would have the required mass and energy. If Paul is really that strong, then he should really be winning matches with literally, one punch. That amount of force would crush organs, bones etc. And I say all this as a Paul main since Tekken 2😅

Not day 1. He was bottom tier in Dark Resurrection

​@@2hot4u68They don't mean gameplay-wise I think, they meant Dragunov has always been a cool as hell character

@@FrostSparkGD ah ok, well then yes, absolutely. Easily one of the coolest characters ever

@@2hot4u68 Indeed so, 2hot4u68... And now *it's just 18 days remaining, before the "most wonderful time of the year 🎄🎉" begins* yet...

​@@2hot4u68 01:03 Dude... Looks like *one Sergei Dragunov's just managed to getting-out from being "turned into a cold cut of meat"* 🥩 here yet...

Agreed

Exactly

That Moscow drip 👌🏾👌🏾

That's why I was always drawn to Dragonuv. His moves are smooth and effective, and his idle animation makes him look deadly.

if he talked. he would be Steve 2.0 lmao

@@arielariel1176don't remind me, couldent just get an actual British person to voice him could they

it would be weird for a mute to talk

​@@jaytherestless2117ain't he Russian?

They’re talking about Steve

There should have been one Russian meme here: “cameru virubai nahui” It's a pity I can't convey this(

Fun fact: Dragunov's unblockable punch actually has the name ,,Sub-Zero"

Dragunov is a cryomancer = konfirmed

My man is cold like that.

He is the embodiment of Russian winter

Ice cold killer.

Literal coolest guy so far

🧢

Wait Lili and Dragunov is Tekken 6 not 5

​@@49Shadow their first appearance was Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection.

@@alberomach3622 Ah.. I thought TS said Tekken 5 console.

cries in armor king

Easily one of the best characters to use for down-to-earth fighting and combo transitioning.

Since Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection he's badass

He somehow pulls off the rare feet of even maintaining cool in a Jester outfit.

Restaurant waiter Drag best one

the efforts they put in voice recording is moved to the design team on Dragunov, lmao.

Skins? This isn't fucking Fortnite

Victor is not worth talking to. Also not very inspiring for myself with all his weapons.

The new voice actor is also Japanese. It would be complicated for him to speak russian IMO.

He got beef with the camera. At the end he came back to it

"Unspoken Sass" 😂 There was even more of that in the T6 Scenario Campaign. Dude's storyline was constant jolity for me.

Breaking the 4th wall be like:

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 😒😒😒

"I'm on vacation. No cameras."

+++ я обожаю его жёсткий, но ловкий стиль❤ Воистину белый ангел смерти😍

All their moves look the same

Always wanted to get better with Draganov but I just could not really figure him out.

@@gameplayeremil2252 иди в церковь, мечеть или синагогу, поведай им о такой своей любви, а потом вернись и перескажи здесь, что они тебе ответят

@@IvaWing душнила

seRRRRRRRRRRRRRRgei

Dragunov.

Партия одобряет

WHAT A AMAAAAAAAZING VOICE

Lenne Hardt better be the anouncer in-game , Do it Namco !

Dragunov hates camera 😅

The funniest thinf is he just breaking the 4th wall Ahahaha in colder way

but byron can KILL the cameraman tho

Surprisingly he's always noticed the cameraman since his debut, he's just being more interactive with it now lol

​@@gabrielvelosa2597yup, that's why he's crawling. To avoid cameras.

Nah Steve is cooler

​@@Focus_20SFnah akuma cooler

I wanted more hugging

@@Focus_20SF deez r the fistz of a chempion

@@syaredzaashrafi1101 he got yeeted and is never coming back thank god lol

Same 🔥

I forgot what move is that but now you can confirm with a shoulder bash. Noice

Yup both sadistic and efficient

Подтверждаю!

cyka?

@@misslangleysoryuisiconic Nice

Александр Ревва мог бы его сыграть

@@Talgat1982 Кстати что то есть

Well, he's got an interaction with Raven's mentor, so he'll possibly have one with Raven.

They better... otherwise its a huge letdown as Heidern & Rugal

I hope a special interaction between Dragunov and Raven since Tekken 5

He not a legacy character tho

Not a legacy character. Still, one of the better newcomers

Tekken 5 Dr was a long time ago now.

@burni988 Never played DR only OG Tekken 5, so that's news to me. Still, I think Tekken 4 and prior solidifies what's a legacy character and what's not, considering how many characters are in Tekken 5 yet aren't in Tekken 7 or 8

@@VermillionGates at this point I'm personally happy to consider Tekken 5 Dr, and earlier legacy, it's getting close to 20 years old having released in 2005. Even some Tekken 6 characters like Alisa and lars feel kinda legacy, but that's more just because of how much they've been part of the story. I think Tekken 5 Dr is a fair place to consider legacy characters, but I still think Tekken 3 characters and earlier are like the "ultra" legacy characters. I also don't think it makes sense to say that just because a lot of Tekken 5 characters aren't in Tekken 7/8 means that they're not legacy characters. Some games just choose to have a lesser focus on legacy characters.

Fancy seeing the goat here

Dragunov don't need smile, Smile needs Dragunov 😊❤

Agreed!

Jesus ❤️ u

He has smiled before, a couple of times actually.

fr 😂

DRAGONOZ IS GAI!?? 😱

Dragunov don't need talk, Talk needs Dragunov 😊❤

@@gabrielvelosa2597 Amen to that.

Since Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection he's badass

​@@gabrielvelosa2597yes
