TEKKEN 8 - Leo Reveal & Gameplay Trailer 

Don't get them to modify the lore lol

only time it was accurate was in Tekken 4. Jin would use English with Hwoarang, and Japanese towards Heihachi or Kazuya.

bilingual ok

*jaguar noises*

Eles usam um tradutor universal igual os Guardioes da galaxia.

Masculine in persona and style but feminine in looks as per usual Japanese style. The enhanced graphics help the feminine “beauty” pop. 🤔

The voice actor is male, but the body looks more feminine

leo's voice either sounds like a guy or a girl

@@raishirogane7860 He looks as feminine as Cloud, Link or MGS2's Raiden (who is even confused as a woman in different occasions throughout the game). It is a recurrent trope in Japanese media to devise certain male characters with "angelic" features, who almost look agender due to the pre-pubescent facial features.

She looks more like a tomboy here tbh

Yeah, exactly. Pretty much like the martial art they practice. I've always liked that about Leo. Straightforward, effective, with just a dash of flash.

There's a joke about German efficiency in here ;)

Though it looks simple, Bajiquan is all about chi release right at the point of impact. That's VERY hard to master. Short, high impact, explosive style of Kung fu.

I think Victor Chavalier was way to much, lmao.

​​@@oscardavidgmThat's alright. The old man simply has the exaggerated swagger of an old Frenchman in a suit.

yes you can handle this, be strong

Sir, we just lost Carlisho

@@JohnnyBlake-bu4hl GG

🥺😥

samee😭

always makes me laugh!

A Pet Peeve of mine. :D

You, the spectator, don't have Star Trek Universal translator like the fighters. LOL

Hello American man, I speak not a lick of English, but understand you in some way!

They let their fists do the talking

Wait for what they do with Shaheen.

Insane glazing

@@Samaelish Shaheen in 7 has negative charisma, if they do anything at all with him it wll be a huge improvement.

Bro finally relaxed and did things

He was worse than this?!

Kaffee Königin*

Leo and I had the same reaction to Azucena's gimmick.

​@@godregretsyouKaffeekönigin*

German peepo is crazy man.

"Caffee curly girl"

Ha, transition

ya

Part of her lore they never explored in their move set

​@@justhit6673they* smh

@@Loz1719 shes one person why would I say they? Her and who else? Ridiculous

@@justhit6673 they are not a girl smh

@@Loz1719 they are, confirmed by harada himself. If he unconfirmed that information years later do let me know, and its ok if you want to keep referring them as they or whatever, but getting butt hurt over how someone else views a character only makes you look bad, I personally call "Leo" as "they" cause it just feels a bit more right to me? Also while knowing that they are actually a girl, but at the end of the day who cares you know?

What storyline? I fell off Tekken after 5

@@hotcoldman77 Leo's mom took care of Steve when he was still in the lab.

​​@@hotcoldman77Leo's mother was Steve's caretaker (I think) while he was a child being experimented on. This info is from TTT2 btw.

Both Leo and Steve are not Mishimas, so Namco will not care enough to continue their storyline.

​@@zipherfoxhound571same thing to Miguel

YES. I've been waiting a damn DECADE for them to interact. Please, Tekken devs 🙏

Lowkey shipping them both as couple 😆❤️

Yeah this could be cool couse Leo's mum was also Steve's "mom"(she cared about him when he was a child if i remember correctly?)

Geh!ew no@@YuukiHorra

Mrs. Klisen was Steve's surrogate birthing mother, he was developed with Nina's egg, making her his Biological mother, but both are equally Steve's mom @nathalieclairemariquit3839

yeah when he pulled that gun thing I was like "oh no"

exactamente

Then Azucena proceeds to drop kicking Leo

The classic story of boy meets girl

@@lsuchiha1652 mmm actually Leo's gender is betweeen undefined and girl. Leo is shortage of "Eleonor"

​@@Madheim777no Eleonor was the name during conceptualization.

Ehh?

Well if you get it, prepared to be perfect juggled - seems to be the meta nowadays

My last playing was Tekken 6 , I Skipt Tekken 7 🥲

At the ranks i'll be playing at, i'd be surpised if someone pulls out a basic combo :)@@warlordtf9608

It's been WORTH it for the last decade

​@warlordtf9608 been the meta since Tekken 5....

>gender neutral In Deutsch übersetzt: Spiel nicht kaufen.

@@dorklymorkly3290too bad. Folks love this game.

@@gordogunso If 'loving something' makes it good, well, if mainstream media is to be believed everyone loves Hitler even to this day. Can't believe you're a nazi.

​@@dorklymorkly3290This is how you know someone is being negative simply to be negative. Literal rapists and child murderers in the game and one served as the main character?Completely A-OK Demons, Cyborgs, Aliens. Negan from the walking dead. Despite all this, Harada has stated that Leo is not non-binary. Leo's gender is simply unknown, and nonbinary doesnt even mean trans, God is considered to be Non-Binary, it simply means no gender or beyond gender. Nobody cares that you arent playing this game, your IQ is obviously too low to grasp the concepts that fighting games require. Please, and I say this genuinely, think about why you care so deeply about something that has no effect on you, and harms no one? There is no agenda, there is no shoving down throats, Harada simply wanted to make a character that appealed to both females and males, so their gender is unknown. Thats why Leo has been referred to by characters with both he and her, they simply use which one they think Leo is. People like you, on the other hand, would research what genitals they had a birth, and make sure everyone knows you dont like it. Especially if youre just trolling, please please please, go outside, Find something positive to care about instead of tearing others down and trying to trigger people. You are better than this, make the world a better place, its okay if you dont like it, dont waste your time with it then.

Leo's gender is just ADVENTURE.

Welcome to The King of Iron First Tournament 8

Its worth it Just dont mind the toxicity this community have and have fun

SAME!!!! For me it started with T7! They put (and still are putting) SO much love and attention into it! I’m throwing my wallet for T8!

*Welcome to The King of Iron Fist Tournament* ❤

Lol, the PR team is really doing their best to advertise for their own game with bot comments.. xD There's a comment exactly like this underneath all videos. "I've never played Tekken, but bla bla"

They could've a diffrent stage for that though? I mean what was Leo grapping with the zipline, the air!?😅

a grappling gun that can grab air ..ah yes

​@@thebasement7330yea exactly wtf🤣🤣🤣

Air graber

@@thebasement7330 Exactly - Grappling gun that hooks air, into flying kick. Batman 101 right there.

I believe that fighting style's Baji Quan.

Sounds like it could be what they use for the title screen

that announcer voice grew on me so much since the first character trailer dropped. it'd be a shame if they didnt at least get that VA to do announcements at irl tournaments

​@@lukelmaoooooit's Anna's old VA lol

@@durandlewis1382it is

hi

exactamente

yes

Ikr actually so hyped

She/he’s even got a bigger bulge somehow 🤣

Down 2 launches on CH; did I see that right?

Moveset looks mostly the same to me. And while the new outfit is nice, I'll always prefer Leo's Rock Howard-inspired jacket.

Surprised nobody's pointing out the absence of 'YEAH'.

Probably next week

I hope so!

@@ninab.4540 If they are going in order, it should be Steve then Kuma and then Yoshimitsu. So we have 3 more weeks before he is shown.

@@gliath888 Theres no order. The image we had was Yoshi, Steve, Dragunov, Leo, Kuma etc etc. Its probably just going to be random.

​@@gliath888if they are actually going in order, yoshi should have gotten the trailer before leo tho

Actually, it was shown in the release trailer

They're both coffee lovers tho

"..Kaffee Königin?"

Azucena is slowly becoming the new Bob: friendly and a great fighter

tbh anyone interacting with Leo is going to be surprising. He doesn't have any relationships other than with Kazuya.

Cool Implication.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.

Ohh I think this is came from nina ending pose also look same like ninna (going somewhere)

Yeah, I'm glad that they gave them something that alludes to that.

grappling hooked the open sky though somehow 😂

Thank you so much for this

He* y'all blind or y'all doing it on purpose?

Let me just interject on the "Uns Jetzt!" It makes no sense in german grammar. I believe it's "und jetzt!" which would translate "and now!" which makes much more sense as a small self-focused shoutout. Also, "Los!" could also translate to "Go!" But your first translation works well enough.

@Emeraude- neither actually. Leo has no definite gender. I would call them just "Leo" lol

@@moonlight2870 We all have a predefined gender, and just because he has an androgynous appearance doesn't mean he's necessarily neutral.

*girl.

Which most likely means Leo will still have low damage and high scaling to balance out.

@@Berd-Wasted. That's true. Her fast poking and 50/50 mixups more than make up for the damages tho which is still relatively excellent.

Sir , I can only get so hype, please, take a number.

Leo can really string you up that Ji Du Li stance adds good extension since T6 and oh my god more Baji and Pi Gua stance for me please.

@@thewendzdayHis*

They have to make it i13 there is no way, and even then, that effectively will punish nearly every low in the game.

Actually a nerf cause now it doesn’t wall splat

@@HeySeanoldit will wallsplat pointblank and without heat like jin's ff2

Scratch that did we just see a jab string with knk transition??????

@@desgyulabalogh3429 her i10 punish 1,4 transitions into knk now

odd seeing it on someone so effeminate tho...

Didn't already Julia did that style with Wrestling moves?

@@CYB3R2K correct, both Michelle and Julia did it. Paul has some Baji too, such as his chain kicks and back strikes/slams. I think Leo is the purist of this style in the game.

It really is gorgeous, his elbows and shoulder charges are so fluid

​@@ralleksHer*

@@plutonash2545??

exactly

They are all awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think those are alpaca

The language of Fists is universal.

People of culture 😂

I just assumed they are all very intelligent and learning different languages and cultures was a part of their intense martial arts training.

Maybe the same magic that Pocahontas' grandmother gave her and John to understand each other🤪

Worth the wait too, I've been waiting since August for the reveal

Yup, agreed! Had to watch to trailer multiple times cause she was one of the first characters I ever played competitively. Always good seeing her back in action 💪🏿

Can't believe I get to see one of the six Leo mains in existence

@@icebearnicho8256 Wasn't Leo a he that got turned into a them? I honestly am not sure so that's why I'm asking.

They could have kept Leo and gave us Marduk. Only one grappler, WTF

Leo’s animations are just so nice, the moveset is very pleasing to the eye

She’s my favorite baji Quan fighter in 3D games gameplay wise

@@versatilelord8893 it's a dude

@@wr31rf nah. You need to evaluate what you view as masculine because Leo ain’t none of that

@@versatilelord8893 no fucking way better than THE Baji fighter in video games Akira Yuki.

She*

@@LeeMinOfficialactually, Leo is not given a gender identity to this day. So it is either. Sorry ‘bout it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@LeeMinOfficial It really is either, they're the closest thing to bigendered I've seen in fighting. Which is why they could use any genders clothes when they were first introduced.

​@@LeeMinOfficialLeo is born as both genders

Prob cause most of us expected T1 to T7 chars reveal and Yoshi btw is 1 of oldest char on rost without missing an Tekken game

I feel like there's some sort of fancy reference being made here. How *Bizarre*

Yeah, she’s the best

@@moescredriver5486the character was created to be a she but it was also meant to appeal to “if you see Leo as a male that cool” or “if you see Leo as a female that’s also cool” iirc

@@Wyn3e yeah

Nice profile pic

thats bajiquan for you. explosive

But deals too much damage need nerfs

@@lamellarm6546 hello good hunter

me too

These are the reasons why I play Leo lol

yass

>Small Roster >Cut Characters for DLC >World Tour for Xbox 360 >Gender Identity Fighter 6 Capcom USA rushed that game with an embarrassing political fad and corporate neon pink and blue theme that will age like milk. Might as well rush it to an early grave.

always funny seeing people like@@OilFreeFeathers get so irrationally mad that inclusive avatar settings are a thing, like buddy get a load of yourself you're pressed about an option

​@@mimamiwhooo4551sf6 is definitely not well balanced come on now

The MK shade is crazy.

@@mimamiwhooo4551 JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS? JINRAI! HOW'S THIS?

Baji Quan

Same as Xiayou but different direction??

I think its kenpo?

@@Ramsey276oneXiaoyu’s style is a mixture of certain Chinese styles including Pigua and maybe Bagua. I am not sure about Bajinquan.

@@mansuru Thanks for clearing it up!

Leo was first introduced in Tekken 6. The last Tekken game that I played was Tekken 5 (PSP).

Not sure if TTT 2 Leo Ending would be canon unless Leo s mom was canon in the main Tekken timeline meeting Steve

Has the Tag series ever been Canon though? From what I remember they aren't considered to be.

@@bigmacmm5Steve and Leo’s endings seem to be the exception where they’re canon despite the game itself not being canon

Certain aspects of Tag Tournament 2 were considered "canon", such as Julia Chang's brief stint as Jaycee.

Yes we want steve in this action too😁🥊

No your amazing

Give Yoshi

That is seriously a great new look for her. She's gonna be fun to play with. I can feel it.

Wir Glücklichen!

@@captainobvious5177 Hahaha ja genau

as a trans person I am proud to be represented by Reina

@@Dizerfullpower mentally ill

​@@DizerfullpowerWhat makes you think Reina's trans?

100% same! And good to see you here brother

ULTRA INSTINCT JOSIE!!!! LOVE UR JOSIE BRO!!!!!

@@Tekkenandgaming Yessir! I HAVE to support my first true main.

Mine too! Learned the game through leo!!

@@KaizerSozeRaps Thank you thank you. I'm very excited for Leo for Tekken 8.

Put her in swimsuit and it will sell like hot cakes

just like azucena,leo likes coffee too.

Azucena wants Leo' s warm milk in her coffee 😮

Same!

yeah🤚

leo mains are they/them freaks

Still hoping and coping for miguel

@@philgamer9499u madddd😂😂

Yeah all 9 of us YEAHHHH

If by personality you mean belts on their clothes then you are right.

Tbh if TTT2 was about personality and T7 was about the money, hopefully T8 will be a combination of both for Namco

??? Characters in Tekken up to this point were lucky if they had more than two lines of dialogue in their voice bank.

​@@Wael3rd*cough* Guilty Gear *cough*

​@@Berd-Wasted.More like Guilty Queer. Heh, gottem.

although .. it's kinda goofy in a way w is that hook rope hooked up to the skies? lmao

Well, she's also supposed to be a spelunker, so...

It's lame, completely random. She deserved better

@@Dajen_Tkyou know that it’s a guy not a girl right?

Gender ambiguous, huh?
