I love the thought of King delivering a promo in nothing but his signature roars and growls.
If you can smellll what the King is cookin'!!!
Eagerly awaiting the Macho Man-style "King but it's just when he sniffs" memes
RIP Armor King would be proud
And it’d be the greatest promo ever
I AM THE KING OF THE CROP
AND THE KING ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP
The way King is taking hits like its nothing and comes back with a very impactful punch feels personal 😭
King is out here no selling and throwing stiff punches. He ain't putting nobody over.
Sekibayashi vibes
Reminds me of the Stallone quote from Rocky VI.
@Leo Nidas I learned wrestling terms
@Max-D pretty much the Hogan and Cena of Tekken 8 lol.
When he had the mic and all you can hear were growls, it made me smile from ear to ear. King is definitely an amazing character. So glad he's in the game.
I don't think King has ever not been in a Tekken game right? It'd be crazy if he didn't come back in 8
I would agree that without King, Tekken wouldnt be the same. What an Icon he is!
@The Hussite King They have excluded characters before so I always hope my fave characters wont be excluded.
We then watch in horror as they exclude Yoshimitsu
@Ita K pretty sure the only characters who have appeared in every mainline game are King, Yoshimitsu, Paul, and Nina, so I don't any of them will just randomly not come back at this point
King embodies so many pro wrestlers;
His mask and general style is based on the Tiger Masks, particularly the first and second Tiger Masks; Satoru Sayama and Mitsuharu Misawa, whose moves are also reflected in King's moveset, such as Sayama's Sobat Kick or Misawa's hard elbows and the Emerald Flowsion.
His backstory of fighting to raise money for his orphanage is based on the real life story of a priest turned luchador named Fray Tormenta, whose story also loosely inspired Nacho Libre.
And the guy responsible for actually mocapping the moves for King and bringing the insanity to life is legendary wrestler, the Murder Grandpa, Minoru Suzuki, who is also one of the founding fathers of modern MMA.
King isn't just a pro wrestler, he is pro wrestling itself and I've always loved that about him.
No secret about who I'm maining, huh? 🤣
KING IS MOCAPPED BY MURDER GRANDPA??? Did he mocap his rainmaker for tekken 7? Cuz that’d be hilarious just seeing suzuki hitting the nastiest rainmaker in a full mocap outfit 😂😂
If armor king makes an appearance in this game I will practice him and come back to this comment so I can find you and fight you.
I main him too. And that Suzuki mo-caps for King is even better. Also, hits a clean take on Project Ciampa too
This was the trailer I've been waiting for.
Good
Goon
Goof
Wow
Nice
I had a friend called Edward who was a great king player in Tekken 3.
He died a long time ago,and king always make me remember him.
He really was a king fan from the first tekken
Man, I am so sorry for your loss
@Arcerus thanks,bro.
Rest in Paradise Edward 🙏🏼
My best friend growing up was the best Yoshimitsu player on our block! He’s since passed away, but to this day I play Yoshimitsu for him. Don’t care about no tier list.
Miss and love you Adrian!! Peace and love to you and Edward ✌🏼🕊️❤️
@J C thanks for your words,bro
Your friend Edward reminds me of First King. I hope you feel well when watching King's trailer.
I will always love 2 things about King.
1: he only ever communicates in roars and growls
2: Everyone can understand him.
Wait what really?
Just like that in Tekken, characters can talk in their own language and they understand each other its amazing
3: he takes care off orphans
No I can't
What growls? You didn't hear him talk?
Judging by the views on their character trailers, King is the most famous Tekken fighter. It makes me happy since he's always been my favorite
Yes the most love it from community
Yoshimitsu
@ShakenPig bro I want to see yoshimitsu 😭😭
@YES SIR The only character who is always COMPLETELY different yet instantly recognizable.
It’s his body that I come for
King did a pedigree. A power bomb and a RKO love it!!
and a Shoulder Breaker with Torture rack
RKO? Time pls
@Seth Rollins around 1:15
@Sreedhar Indukumar I also say a lumbar check Cedric’s move .
I loved the pedgree 🔥🔥🔥😂
Love King gestures here: he is showing more of his personality, and I will always aprecciate that. Also, wow! Love that new stage!
King 1 would be so proud of him
Love the fact that Bandai Namco included Aztec/ mayan culture in his design for those who didn't see it look carefully at his Cape and what he has fastening it.
It solidifies his beastly theme ngl
His boots said Mexico in Tekken 7.
Tezcatlipoca The Aztec Jaguar God
Mans become the next Ogre and I’m so down for it 😭

I made an animated/stop motion film about King.
Sorry for the self promotion but I believe King mains will love this
He's the King after all hahaha
0:56 That was such a moving speech. 😢
Grrrr grrrrrrrrr
Truly inspiring words
Just wait for the meow meow DLC.
When he said "Grrrrr" I felt that 😢
All I heard is meow meow
King and Yoshimitsu were always my favorite. Loving this King!
Same
Same
Same just Jin and Feng in place of king and Yoshi
King is really becoming the face of Tekken and as someone who mains him, I couldn't be happier.
Also, he looks FUCKING EPIC!
Fr bro I played Tekken for ages and I mained him ever since I had eyes on him
@CamTheHokage same here, I've been maining him since the very first tekken
I play since Tekken 1 on ps1. King has always been the face of takken. Allways will be.
Aside from the Mishimas/Kazamas, King is definitely the face. I feel like his story is deeper than anyone else’s in the series
This trailer has more views than the Jin and Kazuya ones do and they have been out longer. King is definitely the peoples main character.
The sheer brutal animalistic power of that beast. Not only does he look more detailed and colorful, he now even has veins popping. And he even managed to be more powerful and fast than before. This alone is enough to make me want to get the game at full price when it comes out.
0:38 That was both hilarious and badass. I'll never be a wrestler, but I am a performer and I'm really feeling King's performance mindset. The crowd loves him!
Also, call a medic, cause he's breaking ALL the backs in this game. Ouch!
0:56 man's spitting straight facts
Wisdom of the ages tbh
He moved me when he said that.
Lariat 0:37
Pedigree 0:40
Backstabber 0:44
RunningPowerbomb 0:46
Powerbomb 1:09
RKO 1:14
SwingPowerbomb 1:23
Fcking spinning tirabuzón inverted 1:33
360powerbomb
Appreciate you putting the timestamps. Had no clue what was what. 😅
Don't forget that shining wizard combo at 0:50-0:53
That Lariat looked so good 10/10
But where is the Canadian Destroyer!?
HE LOOKS SO DAMN COOOOL!!! He has so much wieght in his hits and his grabs look fantastic! I am fairly fresh to Tekken but I have been a religious grappler main through fighting games and King was my favourite the moment I touched Tekken 7. And my good god does it feel great to see him look this amazing in Tekken 8
The hyper for king is so unreal, a million views just in a day.
Absolutely love king 👑👑👑
Seeing king do moves we grew up with then have mike and address the crowd he is just simply the greatest show man of all time shits wild just like him never a dull moment can’t wait to see Majin use him
Glad to see King get the respect he rightfully deserves!! Can’t wait for Tekken 8 to drop! 👊🏻
King doing that pedigree is amazing 👏
I started screaming the moment he did Pedigree, Lumbar check and RKO
Triple h would be proud
@RC That's extremely obnoxious. Grow up.
@Jodio Joestar Wut..?
The RKO and pedigree make me wanna shed a tear.
Our boy looking better than ever.
O meu personagem favorito tem mais visualizações do que todos até agora!!!!!
Vai King!!❤🇧🇷
I really hope they make him more challenging for high tier players to get out from grapples, i love this character so much
This was the ONLY character I picked as a kid. Win or lose it was always King.
Siempre he amado a king por cómo hacían sus lanzamientos de cadena. Son los mejores que he visto en cualquier juego de lucha.
For anyone wondering why he has that lock as his rage art. It's because it's a throwback reference to Tekken 2 where he had the octopus stretch. It was an insta-kill throw he had. I love the little references Bamco is doing with their rage arts.
thanks for the trivia! I started Tekken since 4 in the arcades. They might give each character a different reaction animation in the rage art
Yes sir
But that was a different king
Ohhh, I was looking for the Muscle buster.
@runman Yeah, you're right, the move was from the first King, forgot to mention the current King was a kid in the original King's orphanage. This makes the rage art even more better since he's pretty much paying homage.
Apparently Tekken 8 is destined to be one of the greatest chapters in the history of fighting game... I love King, I love the Mexican fighters and everything from a great country. The background music is very good, I love it because it encourages us to fight all Saturday night... Greetings with love!
0:51 That move always gets me fired up 🔥. Just can feel that the anger with each hit, King is still at the top.
And the impact sound effects
Finally he's PASSED 2 million
Indeed the KING!
If king heard you he he personally pose for you in the ring at the stadium. Gotta love king. The goat of Tekken
I made an animated/stop motion film about King.
Sorry for the self promotion but I believe King mains will love this
My favourite trailer so far. The stage looks soo clean
The hyper for king is so unreal, a million views just in a day. Absolutely love king
Many thanks to Bandi Namco for giving us the greatest representation for nearly 30 years 🇲🇽💪🏼
"Long live the King"
Easily the best Mexican fighting game character of all time
I'm so fucking hype to play him in Tekken 8
@Chacha Who angel from kof says hi too
I think T. Hawk is pretty good, too, but I don't know if he really counts.
@Lookin' like a pink rabbit
Both peoples north and south of the border, before there ever even was a border, are counted as Indigenous to this land. And are somewhat relatives to each other.
So you're not too far off.
Always gives me chills watching this trailer❤
King for life, since Tekken 1, through to 7! ❤
King is damn brutal in every tekken. I have the most trouble with King players whenever i try to be better at online or just generally. My worst nemesis, but he is the most bad ass also. Tekken 2 King and Armor King story is so brilliant.
The first character to break 2 million views? Bow down to the King of iron fist❤
Sempre foi o meu favorito❤💪😼
The combo of a throw into a throw is insane. He looks so versatile and mobile in this one. Movement + Armor is gonna make him a menace for the unprepared
As usual
True fcking true!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@I Hate TMNT Shredder's Revenge Then why are you even watching, little man?
@Dr. Hugo G. Hackenbush I Am I Just Hate Video Games
@I Hate TMNT Shredder's Revenge I hate TMNT series
Mi gran personaje de mi infancia grande king ❤
Love the sound design you really feel the impact of every single hit
I like the fact that this video is single most viewed video of this channel recently 😊
Gotta love king mains here ❤
King was my favorite tekken character hands down . I like how they put in the cage fence when hit people off of it now its tooooo smooth
🤩El tráiler que todos esperábamos 😭 simplemente El REY 💪🏻🐯
The character that got me interested in Tekken. I’ll never forget the first time I saw people play him in Tekken 3 in the arcade. I was a big wrestling fan back then so seeing him doing all kinds of grappling chains blew me away and made me want to learn playing him.
And that’s how I got into Tekken.
This is the same story for many people that first got into Tekken.
They incorrectly remember the “Guy with the tiger mask” throwing everyone around.
Fun times.
@Senator Armstrong same here haha
Me too. And the cop that had multiple fighting stances. I learned both of them.
SAME. His Jaguar mask resonated with me as a kid playing Tekken 3 and 4
I started my contact with Tekken 2 in Arcades, but when tekken3 arrived it was a before and after. What rows what was there to wait to be able to play it. My characters were Eddy, Hworang and of course the great King.
cannot wait to play this game 😭ive played tekken all my life, king is just an iconic character
Could never really play with King. But always, always loved his move sets and whoever could pull of that combo of one wrestling move to another just 👏🏽👏🏽 .
Great effects and decent animation.He looks very cool or dangerous Loving this King!
A wrestler with the spirit of two champions
King looks awesome. Adding those feathers to his cape was genius.
I love how they put some more personality in his character with the pointing and cutting promos. Just makes it more fun. He looks really impactful. He's just a menace and my favorite character! Can't wait for it !
Yeah I love how he finally went more WWE with the promos. He's taken a page from Murdok's book, lol.
@BiggusNickus So do I! I'm so glad King is now Back in Action in Tekken 8!
There's a reason he's called King! 🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑
The design in King’s mask makes him look much more ferocious this time!
such an iconic character
King has literally never ever looked more scary to play against. Insane!!
He's starting to become like Scott Steiner in his WCW days.
I don't even main king but this was a masterpiece
this brought tears to my eyes... as a king main since childhood i couldn't be any happier! LETS GO KING
Same voice lines since your childhood.
@I Hate TMNT Shredder's Revenge blocked and reported
That’s what I’m saying bro I’m so happy
I been King/Armor King since the first Tekken and I approve this statement.
100
Even if you don't play king, everyone loves him
Going to get into this game for King. We'll see where it goes from there.
King was always insanely busted if you know how to use him, in Tekken 6/7 he could destroy the opponents HP 90% if used correctly i'm hoping he isn't nerfed as i am a king main
Only a true King can inspire with just his presence alone…
My favorite character since I was a kid now as a teenager still and king still is and he looking badass!💪🏽
When King hopped on the mic and said:
"🎤🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯"
I really felt that. 😔
The power behind the moves in this game is phenominal
The SFX are wonderful
fr and the sound is amazing too
You'll still have to grind 100 hours of back dashing tho
And it doesn't even gotta be said for the VFX
O king falando no microfone 🤣🤣🤣🤣 dane se a lógica... Esse jogo é demais, tem que lançar logo
😍😍😍
I think what people aren't realisng yet is how good the lighting is on this stage. Probably greatest visual quality since the first trailer over here.
Okay this is definitely My New victory pose for King 👑❤️
Amazing ... beautiful stage too! ♡
King is my spirit animal ❤
The pedigree, the clothesline, that RKO outta nowhere! King always looks so sick.
infinite powerbombs too
+ Shining Wizard + Sasuke Special... King is wrestling.
@XERXOID Sasuke Special = Tayakuza Drop
It's called the Diamond Cutter
King is just so awesome. I would have loved it if he'd been in Project X Zone 2.
As a main King I can tell that there's quite a change in style! But still excited 😆
The way King grabs and you try to get out he won't let you, his finishing move turns his opponents whole body into a pretzel!!
Bandai Namco is shaping to be the best game developers/publisher all over Japan.
Puedo notar qué los personajes acá están vascularizados y el físico , las físicas y los músculos son de otro mundo ... No juego Tekken desde hace años pero si el juego lucirá así , es un salto Impresionante!!!
ITS TOO GOOD. the new arena, the updated animations. Every trailer just gets better and better. This game can’t come out soon enough!
LMAOOOOO
@JP Truth many fighting games have retained players for decades. This is a you problem, not a fighting game problem.
@Wes T Nah, the guy is correct. Enjoy your copium
@JP Truth tekken 7 still has a huge player base
@Oleg Krstitelj na that's false. Tekken 7 for example still has players playing it on regular basis.
Es hermoso ya quiero jugarlo
I hope they'll get team battles back at Tekken 8 and more modes like the old tekken games
El rey DE REYES KING EL MAS COMPLEJO Y COMPLETO DE TEKKEN.
That RKO was totally sick damn 😭 ❤
The best gameplay trailer so far ❤
The fact that his grab can launch a person and then combo into another grab right after is insane to me.
Insanely broken he already is
King is even MORE of a grappler now!
Grapples into grapples!!!
Now people HAVE to break or a combo will be on its way
King 👑 💪🏽🇲🇽
@S-Platinium Can't really break air throws now can we ? It's part of the combo LOL
Playing tekken since its first release and over these years, King has been my favourite character.
Omg King is so good, he is my fave character and this gameplay looks sooo lit can't wait to play
This gonna be the best tekken yet 😁
King was the first character I played in a Tekken game I m happy he will be in this one
Tekken 8 has understood that you got to make the game a spectacle for people to watch. That sound design is fantastic
lol didnt look good at all. Paul was just a punching bag
@GI Jane 2, can't wait to see you because the video is about King...
I swear, with every slam effect I just hear a wave of people going "MMMM" in memeworthy approval. I love it
Been a while huh?
@GI Jane 2, can't wait to see you Paul and law seem unfinished tbh
Man I love his KING cape
When you combine a Pedigree, an RKO, a Shining Wizard, Musclebuster, an Octolock and a multitude of Powerbombs AND cut a promo with nothing but roars...
Makes me wanna play me some Tekken, it does.
Still my number 1# go to character when i'm playing against friends.
Believe it or not, I think Tekken is nothing without King. He's iconic and he's a staple to the franchise. He's no poster boy, but I'm glad he's here and I would've been disappointed if he wasn't
King was always my boy. Was hoping to see some off the hook grapple strings but oh well, hopefully he still has them.
Man I never thought I would be getting spine chills from a new release as I’m getting older… this just hit me hard. King was the first character I legit tried to learn and practice. This is amazing
We saw a lungblower, an rko, a pedigree and a promo. Complete wrestling experience
Majin is going to tear it up with this king rooting for you!
Once a king always a king
1:30 I love how it seems King is going to break Paul's back, but then he does a different slam instead. There are lines even King wouldn't cross.
One of my favourite characters since Tekken 1
Este es king 2 el king original está muerto porque lo asesino ogre
