Asuka Kazama first debuted back in Tekken 5 and returned subsequently in Tekken 6 and 7. She’s supposed to be Jin’s cousin and Jun Kazama’s niece. And she’s making a return in Tekken 8. So without further ado, let’s get into Asuka’s Tekken 8 Gameplay Trailer.
Asuka Kazama Tekken 8 Gameplay Trailer
The trailer was revealed today on the Bandai Namco Official Channel. Asuka steps on it and makes her way to the fight on a bicycle. And we’re introduced to another surprise character that made his first debut mid-way into Tekken 7’s life cycle. Wait, that’s Leroy Smith? But it seems no match for Asuka’s brash fighting style as she launches a flurry of heat smashes, jugglers, wall splats, and many more.
Asuka was introduced back in Tekken 5, but she didn’t really have quite the impact as expected. According to lore, Asuka honed the Kazama style from her father. After her father was severely injured, detectives stated that the assailant would be entering the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
Later in Tekken 6, the world was swept by global pandemonium as a war kicked off between G-Corporation and the Mishima Zaibatsu. She found out she was related to Jin Kazama. But that quite didn’t wrap up as expected.
Instead, she developed a rivalry with Lili. And her rivalry made its way into Tekken 7. Now in Tekken 8′s Asuka Gameplay trailer, she can be seen giving Leroy a beat down in the gameplay trailer, but it’s too soon to see how her side of the story unfolds in Tekken 8.
She’s just one of the characters that have been introduced this week. Earlier, we got to see Nina, Marshall Law, Paul Phoenix, Jun Kazama, Jack-8, and many others. EVO Japan 2023 kicked off on March 31, but the character reveals are still going strong.
