Tekken 8 Reina combo

In Tekken 8, Reiner has some powerful combos that players can use to attack effectively. Here are some examples:

  1. Wall-mounted combination:

    • From crouch: press Down/Forward + Right Kick (d/f, 4), then Backward + Right Kick (b, 4), then Forward, Forward + Left Kick (f, F, 3+4), continue with Down/Forward + Left Fist (d/f, 1), Forward + Right Fist, Left Fist, Right Fist (f, 2, 3, F), and while in Warband Stance, press Left Fist, Right Fist (1, 2).
    • NOTE: This combo is a bit difficult but can provide a significant wall carry effect. Pay attention to the “3+4” input and “F” before entering Warband Stance for best results.
  2. Advanced Juggling Combos:

    • During Wind God Step (d/f, 3): Press Right Fist (2), Up/Forward + Left Fist (u/f, 1), during Heat Rage, press Right Fist, Forward (2, F), then continue with Down/Forward + Right Fist, Right Kick, Left Fist (d/f, 4, 2, 3), Down/Forward + Right Fist (d/f, 3), during Wind God Step, press Left Fist, Right Fist (1, 4).
    • Note: This combo is more complex, but offers great rewards if pulled off successfully. It combines Wind Step with the Heat System for a powerful juggler.
  3. Anti-punishment combination:

    • Start with Down/Forward + Right Punch (d/f, 2), then Down + Right Punch, Right Kick, Left Punch (d, 2, 3, F), and during the battle group, press Right Punch (2), and repeat Right Punch four times (2, 2, 2, 2).
    • This combo is relatively easy to execute and can be a clean counterattack. It provides the opponent with plenty of air time, especially if their high-percentage hits go awry.

These combinations showcase Reina’s versatility and can be used strategically depending on the player’s skill level and match situation.

Tekken 8 Gameplay

Director Katsuhiro Harada detailed Tekken 8’s gameplay, which promises an exciting shift toward aggression, favoring proactive attacks over defensive tactics. The introduction of the “Heat” system adds a layer of complexity, allowing for chip damage, additional moves, and altered move properties, including heavy guard breaking.

It is worth noting that the fighter can sprint to cancel the designated action to enter the hot state, providing strategic depth. The timer of the hot state is dynamically linked to the fighter’s active action combination, which helps to achieve a dynamic and fast-paced combat experience.

Tekken 8 continues the series’ tradition with a revamped Rage system that replaces the Rage Drive with a separate “Heat Smash.” The planned “Screw” attribute was canceled in favor of a “Tornado” juggling combo expansion system that brings a new dynamic to air combat.

In addition to the game mechanics, Tekken 8 also strives to provide a more cinematic experience by enhancing environmental interactivity and character reactions. The game utilizes Unreal Engine 5 and has brand new character models and voice lines.

The online mode introduces “Arcade Mission” battle lobbies, offers diverse environments, regular online battles and tournaments, and customizable avatars using the in-game currency “Fight Money.” Overall, Tekken 8 promises to be an exciting, innovative, and visually stunning evolution of the beloved fighting game series.
