FAHKUMRAM FOR TEKKEN 8

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[gaymer-hag-stan]

A bit underwhelmed by Lidia's reveal because I gaslit myself into believing that it would be Anna 🤡

At least she's not a dude and she also looks considerably better than Tekken 7, although in now seeing that the Tekken curse of the teenagers all having one face has now carried on to the mature ladies all having Nina's face 🤣 I mean Nina has objectively the prettiest face in Tekken 8 so it's not a bad thing but come on Namco, I know you know how to do varied female faces. Just try.

Something a bit more worrying is that there was a datamine leak claiming Lidia would be next and then... Marduk and Fahkumram which is GROSS

And Anna would have slayed that Zack Island stage reveal come on...

Todays Canon Male to Transfem Headcanon is Fahkumram from Tekken! she is an agender autistic transfem that uses she/he! he also has a wife!

[bumblingbee1]

From what I could gather from Fahkumram’s Tekken Wikia page, I think he would make a great character in the Baki anime!

Fighting wild animals AND fighting in underground death matches? How is he not a Baki character already?? 😭😭

Fahkumram the Roaring Thunder

Can't wait to see my main comeback in Tekken 8, he's my favorite Tekken character of all time.

FAHKUMRAM FOR TEKKEN 8

Tekken 7 - Fahkumram

[alexr-fightgames]

Tekken things I'm currently trying to learn:

how to meaningfully play as Fahk; getting there. I think he's basically a zoner in S5; you can get plus frames but they're hard to use. Maybe once you get them to stop pressing buttons you can do some string mix nonsense. I like him more now I made a costume for him. We'll get there.

how to fight against Katarina. I think I gotta drill step-ducking against the harrier command dash. She seems super good. Safe all the time and she's got surprisingly good lows.

On a mission to destroy my left thumb in my late-blooming tekken arc.

If only I knew earlier that the lore was stupid

and they had a dress-up mode

I would've jumped in much sooner

[lightningelite]

Street Fighter got guest characters now & theyre 50% of this years DLC, Makoto, Laura, & Vega still MIA, King has stolen everything from Armor King except his superior flair, & Tekken 8 is in a competition with itself for longest streak of uninspiring DLC characters. Dark days ahead for me I fear 😔

[waterkirby--64]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, my TEKKEN team!

Tekken 8 - Heihachi Mishima is Back:

"We got a new trailer at EVO, and I was ready to be dissapointed. There are some leaks claiming that the next two characters are going to be Marduk & Fahkumram, but seems like those leaks are fake because Heihachi is BACK. This trailer is really good. The story expansion looks very intriguing and I can't wait to try.

Yes, it sucks that Heihachi is back because he was supposed to be dead, but like I've said, this only confirms the leaks are fake so I'm excited again for this game."

🍒 : Lana del Rey songs I think suits the Tekken characters

This was a random thought in the early morning and I couldn't help but do it 😭, I didn't think much about whether the character's story remained, I just imagined it as a mv video with the background music and well this came out.

Just like last time, four groups to decide who will get the open spots. However there is a odd number so we might do a Last Chance Preliminary poll once again. The top 3 of each group will move on to the bracket. Number 4 will go to Last Chance. The rest are banished to catering forever.

The preliminaries themselves will be out soon hopefully in the next hour or so are out now. Thank you for the support and here's to another fighting game tournament.

Also been dead for a month so tagging for visibility, however you are not obligated to. If you do, then thank you very much.

Hello! Bruce is one of my favorite Tekken characters. It's sad that he's been replaced several times, especially when he has ties to Kazuya in the story. If they do bring him back for Tekken 8, how do you think they'll handle him and his story moving forward? Would he still be on Kazuya's side?

Bruce, Kazuya, and a Future for their Story

I'm sad that Bruce didn't make it to Tekken 7 too, and worried that with other representations of Muay Thai, he may not make a future return. Whilst Fahkumram does more of a service to representing traditional Muay Thai, complete with doing wai khru ram muay and himself being the first Thai character in the game, Muay Thai is a huge, internationally practised martial art, and I hope the games lean into representing that rather than eject Bruce. It's true that a lot of characters have been replaced with newer characters and have rarely returned for canonical titles since those replacements, but I still hope Bruce will return, especially because of his importance to the story. Any of the replacement Muay Thai characters don't carry nearly as much importance to the story as Bruce does.

I would like to see the old team back together for Tekken 8. Anna has been deeply hurt and has nowhere left to go, and Kazuya always respected her and had a place for her. Since Kazuya found him after the plane crash, Bruce has never voluntarily left Kazuya's side, and the moment he discovered he was alive again, he sought him out to work for him. Anna and especially Bruce have a really important narrative role in showing dimensions to Kazuya. Whilst he is someone who always plays into his own villainy, the loyalty and comraderie in his close friendships is one of the only windows we have into a different side to him.

Bruce discovering Kazuya is alive in Tekken 5.

We in turn don't have a huge amount of information on Bruce, but his relationship with Kazuya also brings dimensions to him as well. With Bruce, the greyer areas to his character were better established - he's someone hard, ruthless in his training of soldiers, and protects all of Kazuya's insidious interests, but he's also someone with a clear sense of justice, who desires to look after the vunerable and those unable to protect themselves. The kind of people Bruce wants to protect is the kind of person Kazuya used to be, before he had to grow up alone without that kind of care. That Kazuya keeps Bruce close to him, and that this is an aspect of him that does not clash with working for Kazuya, speaks to a complexity both in their relationship and in who they are as people. They understand and respect one another.

In terms of where they left off in Tekken 6, Bruce's ending features him successfully winning a skirmish for G Corp. It is likely Kazuya that he is speaking to in English on his radio. I've made this argument more substantially on Bruce's wiki page. As we have had no further information on Bruce, it is likely that he has been in the field for all of Tekken 7. Since G Corp have now won all meaningful warfare (they were previously outnumbered and worse equipped than the Zaibatsu), it would make sense for Bruce to be recalled to Kazuya's side. I doubt he would ever leave Kazuya or substantially question his intentions. He has known him a long time and is aware of his moods, as well as his pain, and how stubborn he can be. If Bruce wanted out, he would have done so a long time ago, and he wouldn't have returned to Kazuya's side and helped him take power between Tekken 5 and 6. He knows what he's getting into with Kazuya and works for him despite that.

I've mentioned elsewhere in various posts about Kazuya, but he's someone who is too paranoid, proud, and controlling to have 'friends'. Instead he has employees, and the power difference between them is something that allows him to lower some defences. They are not a threat to him, they choose to be with him, and they are people he can confide in, and who's company he can enjoy. Anna and Bruce are people who understand that one can never 'just be friends' with Kazuya, but see whatever relationship they do have with him as something valuable despite this. Bruce in particulr has no ulterior motive for working for Kazuya, and came to aid him even when he was someone without power or wealth. Whilst Kazuya isn't a sociable person like Heihachi or Lee, he, unlike, Heihachi or Lee, actually has a much closer circle of people he trusts and who trust and are loyal to him in turn.

I would like to see Tekken 8 work to bring Kazuya's complexities to the game's story, and Bruce is in an ideal place to help make that happen. I also would love to see Bruce interacting with other G Corp employees, especially Chloe. She's someone younger and bratty, and I can see Bruce having a tired but very generous spirit towards her. I always think Tekken is at its best when it shows the greyscale of characters and lets them feel more human. It also brings much greater tragedy to their downfalls and failings. Watching a villain be brought down is a momentary feeling of justice, but watching someone who became a monster out of pain still have gentle relationships with others fall because he became what he hated, strikes much deeper.
