WA-TAAAA!

Bandai Namco, having solely only in the near past launched a trailer for Paul Phoenix, has swiftly adopted up with a brand new character highlight for his buddy Marshall Regulation, who’s now formally introduced for the roster of the fantastic-looking Gen 9 fighter Tekken 8.

Marshall Regulation is a Tekken OG, having made his debut within the unique 1994 iteration of the legendary franchise. Whereas he would ultimately be usurped by his lookalike son, Forrest, Marshall Regulation has continued to make his presence identified all through the collection, and can step again into the ring for Tekken 8 — a little bit older, a little bit extra weathered, however no much less the extremely expert martial arts grasp. As spritely as he ever was, the brand new trailer sees Regulation laying down his namesake, tragic leather-based pants in tow.

Marshall Regulation’s freeform martial arts abilities — a variant of the Jeet Kune Do model developed by Bruce Lee — are bolstered with using a pair of nunchaku, permitting him to place a recent hurting on his hapless opponent together with his notoriously misleading combo strings. Regulation’s array of blistering strikes is in full impact, in addition to his acrobatic flip kicks, however we’re but to see any signal of his iconic “Run Up Your Opponent and Do a Moonsault” seize — I’m positive it’s within the combine. Regulation ends the battle together with his tremendous, which encompasses a twin nunchaku combo adopted up with an Enter the Dragon chest stomp. Tough day for Mr. Phoenix.

Tekken 8 is at the moment in improvement for PS5, PC, and Xbox Collection X. It’s tentatively anticipated to launch in 2023. When you’ve watched Marshall Regulation do his factor, then be sure you take a look at the earlier trailers for Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Nina Williams, and Paul Phoenix.
