The Tekken fighter joins the Metropolis of the Wolves roster as a playable character, becoming a member of different visitor characters akin to Road Fighter’s Chun-Li, Fist of the North Star’s Kenshiro, and soccer star Christiano Ronaldo. Reina is believed to be the daughter of Heihachi Mishima, a man with a penchant for chucking his children into volcanos. It’s no surprise she’s searching for some other place to reside.
Tekken 7 beforehand featured Geese Howard, one of many main antagonists of Deadly Fury, as a visitor character, so it’s good to see Bandai Namco paying the favor again. Deadly Fury has gone a bit ham with the visitor characters, however this one undoubtedly makes extra sense than that soccer participant who dives for a dwelling.
The trailer doesn’t give a lot away, but it surely’ll be fascinating to see how Reina’s Mishima Faculty combating model will get translated into Deadly Fury. This announcement nips the heels of the Manjiro Sano and Ken Ryuguji (Season Go 3 – fourth DLC character) trailers, additionally launched at the moment. Each Sano and Ryuguji, who originate from manga collection Tokyo Revengers, arrive in South City on October 22.

IGN’s Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves review referred to as it “a beautiful replace to the basic SNK model of one-on-one fight that feels much like Road Fighter 6, however simply totally different sufficient to exist as a substitute for it.”
Eagle-eyed gamers had already predicted the inclusion of Reina, noting the purple colour of Season 3 fitted with the character’s aesthetic. Within the teaser trailer, she seems solely as a silhouette within the background.
Reina is taken into account a tough character to grasp in Tekken 8, due to her various moveset and her weak lows. Superior gamers make up for it by using her unbreakable throws and stance adjustments.
The character’s pick rate in Tekken 8 Ranked is 3.1% and he or she has a 46% win charge. It stays to be seen whether or not she’s as deep and divisive in Metropolis of the Wolves.
