The latest Tekken 8 character trailer focuses on Yoshimitsu, a series staple who’s been around since the first game. This video focuses on his look and moveset this time around.
The video begins with his normal introduction, as well as a look at an otherworldly stage tied to him. We get to see many of his attacks against past characters revealed, like Nina. Yoshimitsu also mentions getting revenge, with the blade “thirsting” for his opponent’s life and “avenging followers.” We get to see an example of the character's ninjitsu and sword-based attacks throughout, with the video ending with a special finisher.
Here's the full look at Yoshimitsu.
As a reminder, Yoshimitsu isn’t just a staple in the Tekken series. He’s also appeared in Soulcalibur games. He’s been in each of those entries, with his last appearance in Soulcalibur VI.
