I used to be a fighter, but final fantasy 7The remake makes Tifa a much more agile and almost anime character in how quickly she can zoom in on her opponents with quick, flashy strikes. This can make her an agile warrior who relies on sudden movements and even commands to demonstrate her overwhelming power.
3 Kazumi Mishima
Kazumi's unique fighting style and role in the story make her a popular fighter in Tekken 7.

Fahkumram was first introduced as a DLC fighter. tekken 7But honestly, he looks like he was ripped straight from an anime like this: baki or jojo's bizarre adventure At first glance. Fahkumram is one of the biggest fighters in the franchise and has been huge ever since. tekken 8 If there's a serious lack of mega-characters right now, those kind of fans would welcome him with open arms.
This could also be an opportunity for Bandai Namco to push Fahkumram into the mainstream of the cast rather than a one-off addition. He was by far one of the most popular DLC characters in the last game thanks to his physique and Muay Thai fighting style, so it's likely fans will see him again soon.

King is already one of the most popular fighters in the world. tekken 8And since he's a constant sight when playing online, the addition of his nemesis, the Armor King, will help add variety while allowing King players to experiment with new guys. The Armor King is known to be a much more evil and violent character than the King, and has a few nasty tricks up his sleeve, including poisonous breath.
The Armor King also tends to be much more defensive than the regular King, being able to throw in a much faster stab and a few extra low attacks to catch enemies off guard without requiring the skill required to play the King properly. Armor King is certainly popular enough to be a final DLC character, and would make up for his absence from the roster from the beginning.
