What to expect from Evo Tekken 8 showcase

The highlight of the upcoming showcase is certainly the Tekken talk with Katsuhiro Harada, accompanied by Michael Murray and Kohei “Nakatsu.” They will take the stage to reveal the final playable fighter in Tekken 8, and highlight all the important aspects of the latest characters.

While fans are certainly looking forward to Katsuhiro Harada’s grand announcement, most of them will also tune in for the preceding showmatch, which will feature the Tekken 7 Evo Champions. They will usher in the Tekken 8 competition by participating in a unique ladder format matchup.

For those out of the loop, here is a list of all the Tekken 7 Evo Champions that will appear in the showmatch:

• Nakayama "Nobi" Daichi
• Jin-woo "Saint" Choi
• Hyun-jin "JDCR" Kim
• Jae-min "Knee" Bae
• Sun-woong "LowHigh" Youn
• Arslan "Arslan Ash" Siddique
• Nopparut "Book" Hempamorn

Considering that all the above professionals have honed their talents over the years to secure the championship title, their matchup will certainly be a monumental event for the Tekken franchise.

Moreover, the entire community has high hopes for the next playable character to have a unique moveset. This is emphasized given how players are divided over Victor Chevalier's design, which feels somewhat recycled from Noctis and Kunimistsu.

In contrast, Azucena's fighting animation appears to be much more original, and it has set a high standard for future characters. Hence, it is safe to assume that fans are expecting the same level of execution from the latest fighter that will be revealed in the Evo showcase.
