TEKKEN 8 - Shaheen Reveal & Gameplay Trailer 

giving off strong " i dont even know who you are" vibes

Why is this so accurate😭😭

Lmao u beat me to it😂

StryveUK Give it a rest already, M. Bison. That's been overused. Ad nauseum.

OF COURSE!

AK's pretty stoked

funny enough all of them are pro players lol

XD

Looks cool even if you aren't a Shaheen main tbh.

The slide will break your legs.

Reminds me of tidus having waka little brother sword

Why did the G corp murder Salim? What was he doing to attract their attention?

Trash background

Kazuya: “k..”

@@TheAnaz41745 I edited my comment as to why.

I think it’s heihachi

I like to think its an sf5 reference

In the Tekken universe, Shaheen lost his friend Rashid, but in the Street Fighter universe, Rashid lost Shaheen

@@LindsayTotty LMAO

I'm not sure if he was ever even named in Tekken 7 either. It's a very paint-by-numbers backstory for this guy

Apparently he is since all 32 characters are making an appearance in the main story.

@@firstablastab5975 They're taking notes from NetherRealm Studios, I see

He will be Jin's reminder of what he had don to Miguel.

Come on bro, if you dont have demon blood you are basically irrelevant in these series

"Hopefully" You are exactly the person game companies like to prey on.

Miguel and Jin have the same dynamic.

Well he did say that he will fight if he must

Kazuya isn't included in that guarantee.

"I don't want to hurt you, but I will if I have to."

Alex and Rodger are the translators

Kazuya: "Sorry, I don't speak terrorist."

@@JoveJoved

I was also thinking for those who have not seen Kamen Rider. Might Gai doing his Dynamic Entry which was taken from Kamen Rider.

I need’em rider mods STAT

plus that extravagent back flip before it

​@@theluckyhooman9665 01:40 Shaheen 🏜🦅: (readying to Rider Kickin' on Kazuya Mishima's @$$) "This is a *vengeance, for MY FRIEND!* "

TOOH!!

"Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"

Mashallah.

Not like that other arabian fighter who still speaking Japanese 🤣

Tekken8 Characters talk like they all understand each other clearly

You mean the parry against Claudio 0:43? Well, close. He says "Is that all/everything? - أهذا كل شيء؟". You got almost all of it, but thanks to the music/sound effects combination, it's sometimes hard to hear what they say. I couldn't tell what he said in some instances till I had to replay it multiple times. Regardless, keep at it!

his arabic is very unnatural

Maximilian dood haven't even Reacted to this yet.

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 who cares?

it's intentional -- they dont want any single country to claim him. Esp given how divdied the middle east is.

​@@wildsnack2080show respect to Maximillian Dood

@@Kagetora- why?

Yeah I agree with that. He looks more combat-ready with this attire than he did in Tekken 7. Really hoping the developers have given him a cool moveset despite that awkward fighting stance. 😁

Shahead-scarf is definitely cooler with these colors too.

Assassin's Creed vibes.

The timing of this charecter was very bad given the current issues in the middle east, how do you expect Jews around the world and especially people in Israel to play this game when Bandai Namco are adding arabs to it, isn't the 10-7 already enough of a reminder of the second greatest horror in history?

@@mesmorrow israel is a settler colony that is an apartheid regime that oppresses the native population, we the rest of the world dont care if they are offended by arabs, if arabs offend them so much, then they should move out of the middle east

Recognised the Blight reference!

@@shawnbenjamin9636 a fellow man of culture

- You took everything from me... - I don't even know who you are... Maybe that man with the RA-SHI-DOOOOOO !! right ? Pretty Banger if you ask me !

Yes its amazing, so intense

Same.

Supreme facts.

SECTIOOOOOOOOOOON EIGHT!!!

Yeah,especially during the rage arts

He always had that.

Yes but not in the middle of a combo its a bound. In T7 if you did that move mid combo you would surf on a opponents face and not have a bound mechanic​@@E1Reason

@@DrDrakath also if you hit it raw it starts a combo altho it insta bounds in tekken 8 so its a bit nerfed now unless it got a damage buff

Only found out yesterday but it’s actually official called ‘Tornado’

Maaaaan i wish miguel was back, dude kicked jin's ass and now he aint even in the story xD

@@guisergestalt9510 Which kinda doesn't make sense since Jin being the hero again needs a logical foil in Miguel to point out that it was Jin's fault in the first place that everything started.

@@SpScarletSpider I mean, Kazuya says this at least 3 times in chapter one of the story mode ALONE but go off. Regardless, I hope Miguel is DLC

without the headpiece he looks like both Miguel and Law with a beard

@@guisergestalt9510that wasn’t even canon plus Miguel will never be able to beat Jin unless he had plot armor. a random street thug ain’t beating devil gene

Araplara fan servis yapmışlar işte. SSF4'te Hakan olması gibi.

​@@arda213 or Rashid

@@GreekShinobi223 Hakan was a Turk not Arab. Hakan was a fanservice to us Turks, I never liked the idea. If it is going to be half assed joke character and someone irrelevant to story they shall not put it in the game at all. I am glad there is no Turk in Tekken. If Arabs like having an Arab character it is fine. Though at least we Turks have oil wrestling which justifies a martial character. Arabs dont have any martial arts neither.

@@arda213pretty sure they do but it would fit in a Soul Calibur more than Tekken.

Have you fought his ghost?

That’s exactly what i’ve been saying

I feel like people are scared to give representation to arab people. Like, for decades in the US they’re just faceless bad guys that the hero takes down. So giving an Arab character an actual personality is a challenge.

It's something hard to notice for who doesn't speak arab, but he does have a very stiff, and in a way medieval arab, but this is likely because of the dialogues, arab is a very hard language to translate, so a dialogue must be adapted thoroughly if we want the common arab, otherwise we get the stiff arab, which is not wrong, but for people like me who speak it, often sound very dated.

​@benetnasch1774 are you a Muslim brav?

@@BlackSheepNaraOverwatch did a great job with Ana

Fr, a top tier customs character lol. Can't wait to see what we can drip him out in now

Chris redfield

Oh my gosh I used to play prince of Persia collection when I was 11

I remember people would either customise or mod him into looking like an Assassin from AC which honestly fits him perfectly

🥱🥱🥱

Are you excited to play a guy who fights for his people? Wow good personality trait

​@@wildsnack2080have you got a problem with someone liking Shaheen?

@@shincifer yes because he is the worst character in tekken history and there is no need to have it in tekken 8 he contaminated the roster.

@@wildsnack2080 ok go cry somewhere

@@abukhaled6146 no bro i’m crying enough for salim he was shaheen’s best friend... he was a truly an amazing character and i hope shaheen can avenge him.this story is so great that i cry everyday for him... now go super cool shaheen avenge your friend salim no no wait our* friend salim yes because he was our best friend and we need to root for him forever.

Steve Fox: *Cough* *Cough*

Yeah I don’t really like shaheen but I’m definitely gonna have to agree here. That slide is gonna come super clutch

Grand fan des jeux vidéos et du Brésil c'est le pays de mes rêves. J'adore le Brésil c'est le pays de mes rêves et j'espère que un jour j'aurai la chance d'aller là bas avec ma famille et pour les gagnants au football. Grand fan du Brésil depuis 11 ans. Depuis que je suis petit, j'ai une grande passion pour les jeux vidéos, c'est vrai que je jouait beaucoup aux jeux vidéos quand j'étais un peu plus jeune. Mais même cette année, les jeux vidéos me passionnent, il m'arrive de jouer de temps en temps aux jeux vidéos. Je ne joue plus autant qu'avant aux jeux vidéos. Mais, les jeux vidéos me passionnent depuis tout petit, toujours en tout cas. Vive le Brésil et les jeux vidéos. Même je fais aussi des jeux vidéos sur mon ordinateur. J'ai vraiment envie de partir au Brésil et j'espère que un jour j'aurai la chance d'aller là bas avec ma famille et pour les gagnants au football. Brazilllll !!!!. Ma grande sœur a vraiment de la chance d'être partie au Brésil avec ses amis à Salvador de Bahia et à Rio de Janeiro, elle m'avait montré des bresiliens en train de faire du tambour sur la vidéo, on a l'impression qu'il se préparaient pour le Carnaval de Rio au Brésil. A la place de ma grande sœur j'aurai kiffé et réaliser mon plus grand rêve. Tekken c'est toute mon enfance en tout cas.

And then I mess up my inputs on right side lmao

His rage art is his move with a wee bit extra. But I suppose I wouldn't invest too much in such a bland character.

So he sand-boards the opponent 😅😅

same thing it grow on me alot i think the reason why i didn't like it (his new moves as well) is because i saw his move list video and you really can't tell what changed from there

That’s badass to you? I wouldn’t even consider his rage art in the top 10 category.

idk his rage art is a complete nothingburger to me

لا واضح مسوينه بمترجم قوقل 😂

VERY sick!!!

*Immunocompromised!!!*

It looks simple actually a plane with random static meshes and particles !! A beginner mapper can create that in a day !! It’s not good enough

​Go away @@DigitalLoom

Its too bad its not an individual stage. Its the 3rd level to a stage so itll be hard to get to.

Miguel..hunting Jin for death of sister Shaheen..hunting Kazuya for death of friend.. Boring... atleast with Miguel we saw how his sister died.. with this guy I can't even remember why he joined the tournament.. should just be a DLC character since he is so bland.

they forgot add story mode for dlcs@@niardla

I absolutely love his outfits and moveset especially what his mains were doing in those tournaments they picked him in but yeah dude has a personality of a brick wall

⁠@@niardlaI actually like Miguel and his personality despite his simple lore, because out of all the martial artists in the game his fighting style is just him throwing hands while acting like he’s intoxicated by not caring and even sometimes winning. Kind of like Cody from Street fighter

That personality trait was already there in Tekken 7, it's just that nobody cared and the story for most of the cast was very brief and easy to ignore/forget

Shaheen is no where near as good as Rashid. Shaheen almost put me to sleep here...

​@@donkeydarko77Rashids trailer got me hyped even tho I don't play him at all, this guy got me sleeping 😴

I was only interested into street fighter 5 because Rashid and I share the same name.😅

As a zafina main I can relate to this

As a Miguel main I cannot relate to this 😢

As a Anna main I cannot relate to this either

As a Leo main I can seriously relate.

As a Marduk main I cannot relate to this

What you even want him to say to that NPC

"You killed my friend!" "Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"

Basic ahh scenario 🥱 The interaction between him and Kaz feels straight up awkward 💀

He didn't even mention the name in his T7 story.

​@@OG509 because it is lol, kazuya has no idea who he is and this rando is demanding info from him, it SHOULD be awkward

Nah, I'm with you. Here's to hoping Shaheen seems interesting this time around.

Fr that's just true

yes it is only you

No not at all

It just depends on the dialect being used within the region. As a Lebanese guy, to me it just sounds like anything else because I've been speaking it all of my life. It is an awesome language though. Funny thing is that Shaheen, despite being from Saudi Arabia, is actually speaking the Modern Standard Arabic dialect and not the dialect of the region he's supposed to be from. He's also voiced by a Lebanese guy too.

his friend name is Barak Obama

Bruce Irvin

Solid Snake

Gygas

@@thebasement7330barack HUSSEIN obama

Yes Leo especially. Very novel design in my opinion

He needs the Rashid treatment

Leo has been in the series for 16 years now tbh. I don't know if that dude/chick/person is ever going to be truly memorable.

@@Thomazbr Yeah, it would've happened by now.

​​@@Thomazbrsad to say but very true. It's odd Leo would make it in over Lydia or Julia imo, but I guess they're trying to do something with the character. I don't want to dislike Leo, but the character needs something. Being a big fan of Bajiquan is pretty much my only tether to him/her really.

What is Salim’s blade?

his friend blade he's carrying in his outro/intro

@@McSaumon, thank you a lot Lad.

@@d.saunders2506 Lmao, yeah. There is a lot of people who don't know his lore and it's really sad, because he's such a cool character

If that happens, Yoshimitsu wouldn't feel so alone. And it'd be cool for them to fight.

So the best adaption is a boring and plain guy who fights for his people and nothing else?

considering whats going on in Gaza, i think its a good adaptation. the arabs are fighting for each other@@wildsnack2080

Zafina is an Arab too. Plus Rashid from SF.

Literally how lol, all his line deliveries are awkward and stilted as hell, not to mention the lines they gave him just sound like they got directly translated from English to Arabic from Google translate without any effort. It's funny af sometimes

@@wildsnack2080cool and awesome yes

Are you joking right?

It's both the coolest and funniest thing about Tekken 😂

always has been

why did they change it for lili tho

Maybe Kazuya has no idea what Shaheen (or anyone else, for that matter) is saying. People just keep running up to him, yelling stuff, and fight him. No wonder he's fed up.

@@feqolThe Tekken team decided for a number of fighters to change languages after Tekken 6, hence Lili, Eddy, Christie, Miguel and Leo went from English to their native languages

King Of Fighters has Kukri

And Virtua Fighter has Siba.

Shaheen : - You took everything from me... Kazuya : - I don't even know who you are... Maybe that man with the RA-SHI-DOOOOOO !! right ? Pretty Banger if you ask me !

The timing of this charecter was very bad given the current issues in the middle east, how do you expect Jews around the world and especially people in Israel to play this game when Bandai Namco are adding arabs to it, isn't the 10-7 already enough of a reminder of the second greatest horror in history?

@@mesmorrow Israel did 25 massacres before Oct 7 and the Middle East have kept silence ever since . But this time we can’t just shut up and let the innocent suffer any longer . It’s been 75 years. And shaheen characteristics fits very well of a humble Arabian who seeks justice against the one who murder his friend or family.

Even kazuya looks annoyed by just seeing him 😂

No offense, but Fahkumram and Lidia? Lidia isn't anything interesting and Fahkumram is just a poor man's Bruce Irvin

Reina got a lot of Lidia's moves, and Eddy and Armor King will most certainly be DLC.

​​@@NiCoNiCoNiColaLidia is the coolest karateka in fighting games, wears formally the oldest Tekken female.. If you deslike Lidia you have extremely poor taste in characters. Fahkumram's muay Thai is amazing even tho he looks silly.. Bruce is boring as hell

@@NiCoNiCoNiColayea but cave of enlightenment has a cool song and if they add a Muay Thai fighter it’s prolly gonna be fahk

01:32 Shaheen 🏜🦅: "Now *this is where I will show you NO MERCY* against a *wicked devil like YOU* 👿!!"

01:37 Shaheen: (as he's been "skateboarding" on Kazuya Mishima...🛹) "Listen here, Kazuya Mishima... For today, *I will teach you about the meaning of a true pain* really IS...!!"

This clothes Abbasid Arabs not Bedouin Umayyad

Eddy will be DLC. Bamco knows they can make a lot of money off of that.

Yeah but they had to bring back at least one character from T7 instead of discarding them all and honestly the best choice was Shaheen to give him more character and character development. Marduk, Eddy and AK should be on the way with the first year or second year DLC tho.

@@SnowflakeSSQ I mean they already added Leroy and Claudio which were great newcomers from T7. And I just can't listen to Shaheen lines bcs how absolutely generic and cliche they are....

Country representation and tournament presence is also a factor you have to take in as to why he was added, they also need variety. Plus, SUPER popular characters like Eddy can make bang DLC money so there's that as well.

@@Jamal0602 Yeah ig you're right but it seems maybe they didn't wanna put a character that represented the Middle East to sleep like that because that would remove region variety by quite a lot.

Say what you want, that move is sick as hell lol.

Good

Kazuya: Do I know you?

tbf...kazuyas like that with everyone, thats the nice thing about him, he hates everybody equally, except for family, he has a special level of resentment for them

@@SilverSkyCloud yeah bout kick jin's ass to a volcano

there is no eddy in the game...

The thing is when they showed him in the arena i had a bad feeling that he is gonna die to kazyua 💀

@@sanji1259 no eddy in the main story and roster, but eddy is confirmed to be in the first year of season pass.

@@jhinfps2377 ye, no. I won't allow them to scam me with main roster fighter . Not gonna be part of that

@@jhinfps2377if eddy comes back lucky Chloe’s gotta come back too cause he was her b*tch in her story 😂😂😂

Country representation and tournament presence is also a factor

​@@IAMOPI didn't think about that, you're right! Love your content!

Rider kick is awesome

or hes just boring

@@reikidagi I don't care

Spain was occupied by Muslims for almost 800 years, so it makes sense for Spaniards and Arabians to have some facial similarities.

He def looks better, but I still don't care about his character. Lidia would've been FAR more interesting imo. And there's a special place in hell for all Kuni players... praying she doesn't come back as dlc lmao

I don’t really care about Lidia but I really wanted Kunimitsu II to stay.

​@@bigaj6901 should be Lidia instead of Panda because no way Lidia would take Kazuya threat lightly and ignore it since she actually woman of people

Is it weird that I wanted fahkumram in the base game? Out of all the DLC characters in the last game he was my favourite because he was a pure Muay Thai fighter, and aside from some elements of Bryan there’s barely any representation of the art

I like Shaheen, but I agree. Just as long as Eleonore is replaced first.

😂

Sad for you.

Same such a shitty character zzzz

Rashid is gonna take the spotlight

He existed before Rashid
