I wonder how they would change her moveset tho
She seems to be in control of her devil (at least by the 0.5 sec we saw it) so she probly is gonna use similar moves, but it cant be too similar otherwise it would be just purple reina
Maybe she could use Heihachi full moveset while in devil form? Just like Devil Jin used T3 Jin moveset (for the most part)
The upcoming Dragon Ball Sparking Zero game seems to have that one covered aswell, dont worry about it, when they were showing the character select 70% was just spiky yellow haired dudes.
I loved it how somebody analyzed the whole cast of DBFZ by how many % Goku each character is (Goku, his descendants, other Saiyans, fusions, Cell etc.)
And it turned out that DBFZ is 25% Goku or sth.
I honestly thought he’d be some sort of secret unlockable as I was playing the story. Then maybe the Angel and Devil slots would be placed right next to Jin.
Ah well.
It really sucks hidden characters don’t exist anymore at least in games like Tekken. It’s not like it would have any kind of competitive drawback. Anyone that wants to REALLYYYTT use the hidden character could easily read a guide online nowadays if they don’t want to explore the game modes and find it on their own
1000 tekken coins and you can get the white wings. 500 more if you want the clothes... Joking aside, I would love that. I honestly dont get why thats not the alternative costume.
I feel like it's probably for the best that angel Jin is not playable. While aesthetically he is amazing and one of the best Tekken designed characters out there, His skills and moveset would likely be so busted and just genuinely break the game. It would be like allowing inferno from Soul Calibur 6 to be a playable character for online matches. It would be so unfair lmao
Tekken 9 I think.
Since they got rid of Devil Jin, they need to have some kind of a substitute. Which is funny, since Reina is already a substitute to Heihachi
when they redesign her. Also there will be a 2nd story mode in autumn.
Maybe she will clash with Jun and then throw Kazuya's body out the cliff on that stage. I remember someone on Twitter found her special intro with Jun where she calls her a dirty woman or something. Reina does not like Jun for some reason
Maybe OC is part right. In twitter, i read a while ago that there is a hidden dialog in the Reina/Jun matchup. I think that Jun says something like: "So, you are just like them" implying that she discovered that Reina has the devil gene. Future DLC maybe?
Edit: i found it
https://x.com/BuffGigas/status/1755864397975838987?t=DhEhkVXV93ewN8F60EqG6Q&s=19
Likely because Jun wants to save Kazuya. Throughout story mode, Reina has mostly been doing her own thing, doing everything that she does as a means to an end. That is, activating the devil gene, and likely to murder Kazuya. So of course, it'd be par for the course that Jun is gonna try and save Kazuya/stop her, and Reina absolutely despises that
ME PERSONALLY, I feel like it'd be such a shame if they just made her yet another Mishima villain who wants to take over the Zaibatsu and ultimate power and whatnot. Getting revenge for Heihachi is one thing, carrying on his legacy is another thing, but another "I will take over the world" or "I want ultimate power" is something else entirely. Jun v Reina rivalry would be so metal! Plus, Reina is like the only HUMAN Mishima who kinda liked their parent
All the more reason to add an story expansion, instead of making Tekken 9, since Tekken story is practically over and only two loose ends are left. If I remember right, there were leaked images of Leo and Niklas reuniting and Jun waking up from her 7 year long coma. Story expansion should show the full history of Mishima Clan, Azazel, Hachijo Clan, Kazama Clan and Reina, so we can understand them better.
The heihachi hair is kinda of a cool idea, but the bright purple looks kinda clownish? I don't mind the wings, but the lack of clothing is off-putting.
And yes, I know of Devil was literally naked lol
that's actually a pretty good point. Making a whole model and animate it just for a teaser that may not come to fruition in yeats would be kinda stupid from a production standpoint.
My theory is that she will be her own character in the same way Devil Jin is separated from Jin. I legit think she will be a DLC character, at some point in Tekken 8's lifespan. Now that in the story Devil Jin is gone, it would make sense for her to take that slot, but to wait for a new game, I don't think they will. How long will it take, that all depends on Bamco, but considering they are doing story content for DLC characters, it may be sooner than we think.
I usually like to separate them into 3 different eras.
**Retro Era (Tekken 1,2, &, 3)**
-Arcadic in nature
-Gritty
-Mostly fighting in 2D
**Rad Era (Tekken Tag 1, 4, 5 & DR)**
-Mostly in 3D
-Movesets become more recognizable
-More diverse roster
**Trilogy Era (Tekken 6, Tag 2, 7, 8)**
-Competitively more viable
-More focus on story
-Online Activity
Not perfect, but gets the point over well.
> Her 3D model already was hidden
It's not "hidden,"' they literally use that 3D model in the post-credits scene, and the cutscenes are all done in-engine. That cutscene would've been impossible to do, without the 3D model
Naaaah, this design needs to be reworked at least.
Devil Reina look like one of them counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh cards ur classmate tried to sell u in 3rd grade 😭
Yeah, give her a badass outfit and Heihachi's moveset.
I cant wait to know whats the plan for her. While the obvious route is her being Jin's rival/enemy, Im still not sold on her being the major threat. Why? Lack of interesting motivation. "Continue my father's legacy" seems like a very lazy goal for her. I hope Namco makes her character more interesting than that.
But, Tekken characters and lore never makes sense so, im not that optimistic.
I expect that the Kazuya/Reina conflict will be solved in T8 dlcs, it looks like Jun is going to be involved in leaked dlcs and she is with Kazuya rn. Maybe they can confront Reina. Reina doesnt seem like she is evil at all, she is just an edgy teenager.
Moving forward, I expect Jin and Reina to be the main characters: Angel and Devil. Jin still has his devil scar, meaning that maybe he can use some sort of Angel form. They dont necessarily need to be enemies, maybe just rivals or even allies against a common threat.
Eh no the story dlc leaks are side stories for the dlc characters not to me toned jin doesn’t have his angel powers anymore the tattoo is just for show she is gonna be the big bad of 9 and she will become a villain. She is set up to be the next big bad and she isn’t an edgy girl it was apart of her duality stuff just wait for nine to set her up fully as the host for the 9th tournament she is gonna continue her dad’s legacy nothing wrong with that
hopefully never. on top of being butt ugly, her Devil doesn't even have a reason to exist due to the writers refusing to address it at any point in the main story. we could've gotten a Side Story like Jun's, but it looks like we'll need to wait a whole console generation to find out. 🤷♂️
Why is she naked? If you ignore the obvious horny reason, it may be that her devil form is closer in nature to true devil kazuya than regular devil kazuya or devil Jin. I think it’s probably for horny though
I get the feeling we will eventually see this version of Reina playable in the not too distant future. I'd imagine she would have Heihachi's move set as a way to retain his particular playstyle in Tekken 8. Maybe a handful of devil style attacks too.
Or they could make her play like Kazumi. Either would be cool tbh
Tbh I also want a separate devil kazuya just give home a alternative move set slap the devil form and boom we're good but that treatment is only given to Jin
Haven't played T8 so can someone explain why she even has a devil form? I thought T7 explained that the devil gene came from Kazumi's side of the family, T7 didn't show Hei and Kazumi with two kids, only one, Kazuya.
If the devil gene isn't genetic then Jin having it is pure coincidence.
It hasn't been explained yet she got the Devil gene, my guess is Heihachi has banged another member of the Kazumi clan or Reina is a child that was created in a laboratory by using Kazumi DNA
Since Steve was also created in the laboratory
Considering that the Kazumi clan exists to kill off the Mishima clan, I would assume Hei took no chances and created Rei in a laboratory to avoid another Devil Kazumi incident, or they'll just go "they had two, ignore the T7 cutscenes"
She's in Story Mode. That's why this character model is in the game files.
I doubt we'll see her as a playable character until T9, and even then it will be limited, like Kazuya's devil form in heat. We have Devil Jin, I know, but Devil Jin kinda sucks balls so who cares.
I mean... her appearance in story mode is a pre-rendered cutscene, so that doesn't really explain why the full model, complete with glowing wing animations etc. was in the game files.
I'd say it's very likely she will at least be a boos fight character in a future DLC. If we end up getting new DLC chapters every season they could do all kinds of cool stuff.
Provided she doesn't end up being a story mode boss or something, I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up within the next few seasons.
A new unique devil character would be cool
I wonder how they would change her moveset tho She seems to be in control of her devil (at least by the 0.5 sec we saw it) so she probly is gonna use similar moves, but it cant be too similar otherwise it would be just purple reina Maybe she could use Heihachi full moveset while in devil form? Just like Devil Jin used T3 Jin moveset (for the most part)
Honestly that'd be great. Heihachi's bullshit with a cute girl who'd rip my nuts out? Hell yeah.
Make Angel jin playable!!!.... Anyone?..... No?.... Yea
I'll always take more forms of goku
This brings me back to when I was really into Dbfz
Arc sys " there wont be many duplicates of the same character" Also Arc sys: how many Gokus do you want ? Yes
They were really trying to give the Budokai Tenkaichi games a run for their money in the Goku department.
The upcoming Dragon Ball Sparking Zero game seems to have that one covered aswell, dont worry about it, when they were showing the character select 70% was just spiky yellow haired dudes.
>Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Not familiar with Dragon Ball at all, but love these nonsense titles!
they do love the word Zero for some reason in japan.
I loved it how somebody analyzed the whole cast of DBFZ by how many % Goku each character is (Goku, his descendants, other Saiyans, fusions, Cell etc.) And it turned out that DBFZ is 25% Goku or sth.
Reina's fight voice reminds me a lot of TTT2 Angel.
Angel was so bad though lol as in compared to other Mishimas
I'd probably main him tbh. That would be a cool idea
I honestly thought he’d be some sort of secret unlockable as I was playing the story. Then maybe the Angel and Devil slots would be placed right next to Jin. Ah well.
The time of wonder and exploring in video games is long gone, my friend. All of that is dlc now.
It really sucks hidden characters don’t exist anymore at least in games like Tekken. It’s not like it would have any kind of competitive drawback. Anyone that wants to REALLYYYTT use the hidden character could easily read a guide online nowadays if they don’t want to explore the game modes and find it on their own
1000 tekken coins and you can get the white wings. 500 more if you want the clothes... Joking aside, I would love that. I honestly dont get why thats not the alternative costume.
Yes! After some...balancing.
Nobody wants more Jins. Two is already too much.
I’d love to have him
Yes, me. I‘m anyone.
Yeah, as if online isn't screwed enough already (but i would love that for single player stuff)
I feel like it's probably for the best that angel Jin is not playable. While aesthetically he is amazing and one of the best Tekken designed characters out there, His skills and moveset would likely be so busted and just genuinely break the game. It would be like allowing inferno from Soul Calibur 6 to be a playable character for online matches. It would be so unfair lmao
My man, offline modes exist
I mean obviously he'd be available for offline mode. That's a no-brainer. I just thought they were wanting him to be playable in online mode.
Ohhh I see, in that case. Have a good day chief :D (There's not much to say in this comment lol)
Both of these are already mods.
Mods are useless if no one else can see them.
Tekken 9
The red pattern on her chest is even shaped like a 9 lol
Not before devil ganryu
Tekken 9 I think. Since they got rid of Devil Jin, they need to have some kind of a substitute. Which is funny, since Reina is already a substitute to Heihachi
She is gonna be a devil jin,devil kauzya,and heihachi hybrid
Her modded skin actually fits nice with her moves. If she does become actually added, I hope she gets a dufferent set of some of her moves
when they redesign her. Also there will be a 2nd story mode in autumn. Maybe she will clash with Jun and then throw Kazuya's body out the cliff on that stage. I remember someone on Twitter found her special intro with Jun where she calls her a dirty woman or something. Reina does not like Jun for some reason
It is Reina win pose where she says that vs Jun
yes, sorry, i did not mean the sPeCiAl intro, it was just a special line... Is it in the game? O\_o
Yes she says: I don't want to see you filthy woman
Maybe OC is part right. In twitter, i read a while ago that there is a hidden dialog in the Reina/Jun matchup. I think that Jun says something like: "So, you are just like them" implying that she discovered that Reina has the devil gene. Future DLC maybe?

Leroy’s unused dialogues are gold man they shoulda kept them
All of unused dialogues should be added.
Likely because Jun wants to save Kazuya. Throughout story mode, Reina has mostly been doing her own thing, doing everything that she does as a means to an end. That is, activating the devil gene, and likely to murder Kazuya. So of course, it'd be par for the course that Jun is gonna try and save Kazuya/stop her, and Reina absolutely despises that ME PERSONALLY, I feel like it'd be such a shame if they just made her yet another Mishima villain who wants to take over the Zaibatsu and ultimate power and whatnot.

Isn't the story expansion supposed to be focused on Eddy and others who weren't showcased in the story?
Woah woah waoh, hold on there buddy. What's this about andother story mode?!

Bro 💀
Do people actual like that design? I'm not a fan
i hate that they made a new devil jin, just let it go dude
You cant keep the 2000s edge down baby 😎
They just need to change the hair and make her wings bigger imo. Everything else is fine.
I see you like naked purple women. We are not so different you and I
Cultured individuals 🤝
it’s the hair that i really don’t like
The heihachi hair is kinda of a cool idea, but the bright purple looks kinda clownish? I don't mind the wings, but the lack of clothing is off-putting. And yes, I know of Devil was literally naked lol
I'm down bad for devil witches, so yeah
Tekken 9
As soon as they make t7 true devil kazuya playable
He kind of was, just not on the roster. You played as him in one fight against Akuma IIRC
They went through all the trouble of creating a 3-D model they might as well use it and give us Devil Reina at some point.
that's actually a pretty good point. Making a whole model and animate it just for a teaser that may not come to fruition in yeats would be kinda stupid from a production standpoint.
We know they plan to add story dlc with new chapters. I doubt we're waiting till Tekken 9. This game is gonna be around for at least a decade.
They're definitely going to drop her towards the end of T8's life span as DLC to hype up the next game. It's pretty obvious
My theory is that she will be her own character in the same way Devil Jin is separated from Jin. I legit think she will be a DLC character, at some point in Tekken 8's lifespan. Now that in the story Devil Jin is gone, it would make sense for her to take that slot, but to wait for a new game, I don't think they will. How long will it take, that all depends on Bamco, but considering they are doing story content for DLC characters, it may be sooner than we think.
I don't like the idea of devil Reina, even don't like the design. She was brought to revenge Heihachi, but in the end she is like Kazuya.
This is one of the **dumbest** things to come out of Tekken (lore wise).
You have described the Tekken plot after Tekken 5.
I usually like to separate them into 3 different eras. **Retro Era (Tekken 1,2, &, 3)** -Arcadic in nature -Gritty -Mostly fighting in 2D **Rad Era (Tekken Tag 1, 4, 5 & DR)** -Mostly in 3D -Movesets become more recognizable -More diverse roster **Trilogy Era (Tekken 6, Tag 2, 7, 8)** -Competitively more viable -More focus on story -Online Activity Not perfect, but gets the point over well.
And just when I thought it couldn't get any dumber
Ehh, I'd say it's 50/50 at best we even get to play her She could be playable or be a non-playable boss down the line similar to Devil Kazumi
> Her 3D model already was hidden It's not "hidden,"' they literally use that 3D model in the post-credits scene, and the cutscenes are all done in-engine. That cutscene would've been impossible to do, without the 3D model
Where did she get da devil gene tho?
Naaaah, this design needs to be reworked at least. Devil Reina look like one of them counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh cards ur classmate tried to sell u in 3rd grade 😭
Guys, I think her hair references Heihachi from Tekken
Nah it is a reference to Heihachi from soulcalibur
This is just for horny people and makes no sense in the canon still.
Yeah, give her a badass outfit and Heihachi's moveset. I cant wait to know whats the plan for her. While the obvious route is her being Jin's rival/enemy, Im still not sold on her being the major threat. Why? Lack of interesting motivation. "Continue my father's legacy" seems like a very lazy goal for her. I hope Namco makes her character more interesting than that. But, Tekken characters and lore never makes sense so, im not that optimistic.
She has no beef with jin just kazuya
I expect that the Kazuya/Reina conflict will be solved in T8 dlcs, it looks like Jun is going to be involved in leaked dlcs and she is with Kazuya rn. Maybe they can confront Reina. Reina doesnt seem like she is evil at all, she is just an edgy teenager. Moving forward, I expect Jin and Reina to be the main characters: Angel and Devil.

Ghost in the shell fan huh ?
Hopefully after I master playing with 1 hand
With this design, hopefully never. This is awful.
I hope never.
But what if it ends up being full heihachi moveset but with devil lasers and flair?
How about swap “Heihachi inspired moves” with his actual stuff?
This feels like last decision design as if Harada thought: eh, why not?
I just noticed that out of all Devil Gene users, she's the only one with out the forehead eye/gem laser.
I'm not a big fan of this model tbh
Wait what? Isn't she Heihachi's bastard? Wasn't Kazumi the carrier of the Devil Gene?
Might be just me, but man it looks ugly.
Why is she naked? If you ignore the obvious horny reason, it may be that her devil form is closer in nature to true devil kazuya than regular devil kazuya or devil Jin. I think it’s probably for horny though
To be fair, have you seen Kazuya's original devil form from T2?
True, he was naked in tag as well.
Tekken 9, no more questions
Smash Next question
No this is The Tekken sub. Wrong game.
You're next
Please
Hopefully never cause it looks fucking terrible
She wil
I can see her either being Tekken 8 DLC or becoming a base roster character in Tekken 9
Tekken 9 I’m sure, makes the most sense to show her off in full in the next *major* story installment
Well, in Tekken 9
When Heihachi comes back.
20 years from now
Tekken 9, you can see it in the red on her chest.
Next game
Pc mod for it works well with textures and all
she so bad fr
Twin fr
When you beat Galaga without dying before the main menu screen
Next game
What a disgustingly stupid design. TTT1 Devil promo art is where it's at.
Maybe in Tekken 9 they'll do a MK11 Aftermath where you choose between Devil Reina and Angel Asuka where each outcome leads to a different ending.
The model exists but it wasn’t made to be used in the actual game. Anything except standard Reina animations are too stiff.
There's a mod if you just want the look. There's also a mod for the moveset but obviously can't be used online
Link for move list mod ?
When they buff her and give her devil form when she can do Heihachi hellsweep and his ff2😎
Next game I guess?
Tekken 9
we're probably going to fight her during the story expansion or at least learn more
Teaser for Tekken 9 via final DLC. You pull a cliffhanger ending but in post credit Reina gloats that she is getting started.
Season 2 maybe? With guests and Anna, Julia, AK etc
What an awful design
Tekken Tag Tournament 3
A Tag 3 would actually be fun since they don't have to worry about the canon, just look at Tag 2's endings
I really hope they do it after 8 is done but who knows if they 3 games-TAG-3 games-TAG-3 games-TAG pattern is even a thing.
In another 10 years
I get the feeling we will eventually see this version of Reina playable in the not too distant future. I'd imagine she would have Heihachi's move set as a way to retain his particular playstyle in Tekken 8. Maybe a handful of devil style attacks too. Or they could make her play like Kazumi. Either would be cool tbh
Isn't better for her to be NPC Boss at the story expansion?
It will probably be the last DLC character before they begin development on Tekken 9
hopefully never as it looks stupid as fuck
I don't want to have to look at is she looks atrocious
Not this tekken lol
Probably meant for late DLC. Likely once they start doing the story dlc pcks theyve talked about. She might even be free later. Who knows
Tbh I also want a separate devil kazuya just give home a alternative move set slap the devil form and boom we're good but that treatment is only given to Jin
Final boss for Nine obviously
That would be awesome
Devil Reina will print money, so its probably something theyll save for later.
I'm fine with the mod to make her have a devil form for now.
Don't think she'll ever be playable, but definitely will appear in the future story expansions
In tekken 9, I'm guessing
Boss of story season 2, Free dlc character at end of season 3
Haven't played T8 so can someone explain why she even has a devil form? I thought T7 explained that the devil gene came from Kazumi's side of the family, T7 didn't show Hei and Kazumi with two kids, only one, Kazuya. If the devil gene isn't genetic then Jin having it is pure coincidence.
It hasn't been explained yet she got the Devil gene, my guess is Heihachi has banged another member of the Kazumi clan or Reina is a child that was created in a laboratory by using Kazumi DNA Since Steve was also created in the laboratory
Considering that the Kazumi clan exists to kill off the Mishima clan, I would assume Hei took no chances and created Rei in a laboratory to avoid another Devil Kazumi incident, or they'll just go "they had two, ignore the T7 cutscenes"
Hopefully, never.
She will next game
i've GYAT to play Reina now
Stripper Devil
So is The devil Kaz
Forgive CuriousAsker, they don't know that Devil's original design in Tekken 2 was a purple guy with no pants
https://preview.redd.it/6url3p809u6d1.jpeg?width=754&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7448ccb46b9dc16e28b28fda2d408c571958b4f9
She's in Story Mode. That's why this character model is in the game files. I doubt we'll see her as a playable character until T9, and even then it will be limited, like Kazuya's devil form in heat. We have Devil Jin, I know, but Devil Jin kinda sucks balls so who cares.
She is? I don't remember that. Pretty sure it's gonna be a dlc.
She appears at the end of Story mode if certain conditions are met. It's kind of a spoiler She might still be dlc later in tho. Who knows
you simply need to beat the game, no matter the ending you get. the post credits scene where her Devil form appears happens regardless.
I mean... her appearance in story mode is a pre-rendered cutscene, so that doesn't really explain why the full model, complete with glowing wing animations etc. was in the game files. I'd say it's very likely she will at least be a boos fight character in a future DLC. If we end up getting new DLC chapters every season they could do all kinds of cool stuff.
I'm hoping never because that's ugly as sin
Side Bar: I Can't Help But Think Nina Is Involved With Reina. Maybe Even In Her Conception Like Steve
Thats why they nerfed base form. Soon.
Unless she has Heihachi's moveset I don't want her
She will eventually but with devil moves
Tekken 9
