Everyone's gonna see another blonde bitch on their feed cause they intersect a lot. (Also I'm only posting this here, because this game is not out yet, and I don't want my ideas to get too much internet traction.) Also I'm gonna assume people are caught up with the Tekken story up to this point.
Leo in Tekken 8!!!!
So Leo has been revealed as base roster for Tekken 8 which is exciting, because they're the character I primarily use. Since there is no individual character trailer for them yet, I'm scrounging up different material to see if somethings are significant enough to warrant certain predictions. So this will basically be some predictions I have about the stories and some evidence to back it up.
1. Development on Emma Kliesen Storyline
First and most obvious is development on Leo's mom, Emma Kliesen. Her unjust murder is the main motive of their presence in The King of Iron Fist Tournament. We know Emma worked in some Devil Gene esearch on behalf of both Heihachi and Kazuya. We also know that Steve (as a child) was a part of these experiments, and Emma smuggled him out and most likely faked his death so that he'd be safe. Leo and Steve meeting to talk about (their, plural lmao) mom would be a great point of dramatic story with little action. Maybe a brotherly bond between the two will emerge??
2. Azucena and Leo's Special Intro
This isn't that big, on the Famdom wiki, there's a link to one of Harada's tweets explaining that Leo does like coffee, but it was rarely, if ever, mentioned. So they just share that bond with each other lmao.
3. Leo and.... Leroy?!?!
Ok, this one is my favorite prediction so far. If it goes in this direction, I'll cry for the rest of my life in the best way possible. So there are some screenshots from the Tekken website and the Press Kit of Leo using moves in-game. They have these for all characters the recently revealed. But the opponents of those characters share some sort of connection, whether it's a rivalry or just a simple commonality. Leo's screenshots have them fight Azucena and Leroy. Now, Leo and Leroy actually have more similarities than at first glance. Both of them are specifically seeking Kazuya to stop him, both of them are well-versed in a Chinese martial art, Leo might currently seek revenge on Kazuya, while Leroy has a satisfied revenge against the gangs of New York, for both having lost family. Leroy could have some sort of guiding role for Leo, whether that be how to fight, or why you fight in the first place, only time will tell. But I really hope they add something really good like that in there.
I also have a couple of predictions on Leo's moveset in Tekken 8, but it's mainly just what could be a Heat Engager or a combo extender, but I'll leave that jargon out.
