I know Baki the Grappler from casual viewing of some random episodes on TV. All I know about this guy is he's one of those frustrating ridiculously overpowered Japanese antagonists the author doesn't want anyone to beat. So naturally, you'd want to.

I only wish Street Fighter got this guy instead of the rumored Tifa appearance in SF6. Akuma would be a perfect match-up against this guy.
 
Okay, so, we already has Baki himself in the game. Are going to end up with the whole Hanma tree at some point? Is Jinpachi going to reappear with Yuichirou? Is there going to be a Jack Hanma DLC where he just fucking bites you to death in a phone booth?
 
So that he could insta-kill the entire cast?

That reminds me of how he was casually added in that weird Les Misérables fighting game

Baki isn't in Tekken 8. You might've seen a mod with him, but never officially.
 
I didn't mind seeing Akuma nor Geese in Tekken 7 but I've always found Noctis and Negan out of place (especially the later since he's a real person from a show that has nothing to do with battle).

I also think that I'm getting some "crossover fatigue".

Nahh i love crossovers they are fire af and fym out of place tekken is a game you can dress up as a deer headed girl with bikini or U can be a Bear Tekken was always absurd and I loved both noctis and Negan
 
the biggest thing I got out of this announcement is learning of this game's existence. Think I'll just go play that instead.

They teased absolutely nothing. 😝
 
Would Baki work as a Virtua Fighter clone? ::thinking
I genuinely think a Baki fighting game would work better as a 3D fighter, so yes; making a VF, or even a Tekken clone, filled entirely with Baki characters would be good for me. I’d even be there day 1 if it looked good enough.
 
There seems to be a push on Baki gaming content in the last couple of years so a full Baki fighting game might not be out of the question.

2025 had a Punch-Out style game called Baki Hanma: Blood Arena and Baki as a DLC character for a 2D fighter called Two Strikes, which then also got the Baki version of Musashi Miyamoto as DLC this year and now Yujiro for Tekken 8.

Basically why I haven't been excited about guest characters in years. Doesn't help that I disliked T8 from the get go. ::lol

I like the guests in MKX, and I can tolerate the guests in T7 (save for Negan and Noctis), but I've never been a fan of this practice, which of course means we're getting guest characters EVERYWHERE. xD It just doesn't feel special anymore.
 
Danm people hyping over new dlc while im still Playing Tekken 5 maybe i need an upgrade
You're right, you should play Tekken Tag Tournament 2, it's got Mushroom mode and Tekken Ball and Alex is back and...

There are at least 2 to my knowledge, both are on the PS2. One of them is a straight up Baki game, while the other (Garouden: Fist or Twist, another Keisuke Itagaki manga) only has Yujiro and Baki as secret characters (Probably before either of the anime, because Yujiro's hari is fucking blue for some reason).
