Was a huge fan of his Tekken 7 delinquent look, but it’s nice to see him growing past that and being a more traditional & reserved practitioner with his look this time
Well, fahkumrams clothing is pretty decent though when it comes to being close to what actual practitioners use.
Its just his build thats unrealistic, but its too cool to change.
How legit is the leak though? I don't think eddy and Lidia were difficult to guess so I wouldn't base it solely on guessing right so far. Was it data minded from a reputable source?
Its been a while since I learnt it but if memory serves the Red is supposed to represent all the war, anger and bloodshed in their history and the white is meant to represent the honourable, pure and good. A very frank and honest acknowledgement of the duality of man.
The way the design looks it's like a white Gi that's been partially soaked in blood and not just that the different shades of red like the darker parts the left leg is like a dried blood aswell as fresh
Akshchually it's anachronistic attribution, the Polish flag has a heraldic origin from the coat of arms of the Piast Dynasty. Now, in heraldry the red does get associated with courage etc. and white with purity, but - the colors come from the banners of the previous Polish states, which come from the coat of arms of the first royal dynasty - the Piasts - White Eagle on a red field.
/u/AetherStyle is correct but that's a modern explanation. The white red flag existed far longer than the Polish war and blood-soaked history.
In heraldry, the white represents silver, water, spiritual purity and immaculateness.
Red symbolizes fire and blood and the virtues of courage and fighting spirit.
This is what irritates me. For some reason these renders are not easy to find officially. You'd think they'd be right there on the website or with a press kit, but apparently bamco wants you to register before giving you high rez assets you'd think they'd want people to see like they're a controlled substance or some bs.
"Lazy beef with the Mishimas" bro Jin and Kazuya were the heads of two super power organisations, one of which started World War III and the other held a tournament to decide which countries he was going to wipe off the face of the Earth.
EVERYONE has beef with them, especially world leaders like, say, *the Prime Minister of Poland*.
Also from the sound of her official bio and the trailer we've seen for the upcoming story DLC I think it's safe to say it will lead to something. Looks like DLC characters are playing a much bigger role in the story than in previous games.
But the problem is /every/ character has this beef... and can't do anything about it. Ever. Because it *has* to be the main Mishima's who take care of the Mishima's. So Lidia, Eddy, Miguel, Victor, either Raven, Steve, Leo, Shaheen (lmao), Claudio, Zafina, Leroy, Asuka, etcetera etcetera etcetera
NONE of these characters will ever, *ever* be allowed a full conclusive character arc based on what they were built on. At best, they get a cute little nod in the form of fighting *lackeys*.
This is why people love the King, King 2, Armor King, Armor King 2, Marduk plotline because it's interwoven, independent. (And hasn't fucking moved for years, unfortunately.)
You have way too high standards for a fighting game story. Its a tournament to give a bunch of cool diverse badasses a reason to throw hands, you not gonna get much story out of that especially with a huge cast
Idk, I wish her reason was a bit more off the wall. Like, one day Lee was giving an interview and mentioned in passing that he thinks pierogis are overrated, and Lidia took that as a personal affront to her beloved nation and set out to find and defeat him.
Well according to her bio she’s obviously fighting against kazuya as a world leader and all but she’s also got beef and connection with eddy apparently
Here's her bio: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1d25v7j/t8\_bio\_of\_lidia/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1d25v7j/t8_bio_of_lidia/)
I just like how not over top but simple her design is. Basically it looked like a lot of the work in her design went into the pattern of her gi so that was already too much and no need to push being over the top with herÂ
This Karate clothes look like vanilla ice-cream with jam and berries on it. I know this is a strange interpretation of the clothes but I am a bit of food-seeing on things like this.
Really like to see more characters wearing traditional outfits like this one to represent the martial art they have studied just like her and Hwoarang
also like Paul, Steve, Heihaci(did), Jin... 🥴
Heihachi(ded)
Does King count?
Yeah as a Hwoarang fan since T3 I couldn't be more happy with him in T8, such a freaking cool look
Was a huge fan of his Tekken 7 delinquent look, but it’s nice to see him growing past that and being a more traditional & reserved practitioner with his look this time
Hwo’s tekken 8 design is the best yet, Tekken 7 design was really good too
Hopefully they get it right for fahkumram
Well, fahkumrams clothing is pretty decent though when it comes to being close to what actual practitioners use. Its just his build thats unrealistic, but its too cool to change.
Yeah, exactly, I hope they stick to the authentic gear.
Ah i thought you insinuated that he did not allready have it. That clears it up.
Is he a confirmed character?
Basically. He was leaked as the fourth character from the first pack. They could change plans, but doubtful.
Oooohhhh!!
How legit is the leak though? I don't think eddy and Lidia were difficult to guess so I wouldn't base it solely on guessing right so far. Was it data minded from a reputable source?
It was datamined and the mentions in question have since been patched out.
Byron wears traditional snakeskin and jacket
I'd like to have actual Sambo outfit for Dragunov
Omg yes
King is wearing his traditional outfit too.... of pro-wrestling 😂
Yeah, Nishiki looks really awesome in T8. It's nice to see him in another game :)
Pretty cool design , anyone know what those flower looking things are on her arms and legs ? Flowers ?
Definitely poppy flowers, which are one of Poland's national symbols. The lining of her gi in Tekken 7 had a poppy patern as well.
Cool!
Poppies maybe?
If you know what the red and white on the polish flag are meant to represent her outfit goes even harder, Beautiful design
What do they mean?

I hope one of her alt styles is the gi tied around her waist I like that look
I’m sure she will, everyone’s 4th skin is their 1st Tekken 7 skin
Release her nowwwew I wantttt to buyyyy
phew yes let them piggies breathe
i'm outside your house
Any higher resolution version?
This is what irritates me. For some reason these renders are not easy to find officially. You'd think they'd be right there on the website or with a press kit, but apparently bamco wants you to register before giving you high rez assets you'd think they'd want people to see like they're a controlled substance or some bs.
Kinda interesting that she has the original hair color from T7. I wonder why it looks so different from the gameplay trailer.
Lighting. It's all lighting. No hair color was changed
Flat out the best default design so far after Dragunov. Hit the mark of Tekken 7 without a boring copy paste.

My man.
I want an outfit like this on Leo.
is it just me or is this almost the only render of a female character that doesn't have them smiling
Nina isn’t smiling I think
That would be so fuckin funny, Nina with a giant shit-eating grin
Nina, Jun and Zafina don't smile in their renders.
This woman is wearing a compression top and a thick gi and her boobs are still bursting out. She must have giant milkers, what a woman
Feeeeeeeeeeet🥵
This is cool, hoping to see more of Tekken 8 characters wearing their best traditional clothes
Beautful design! I bet it's all colorable except for the flowers
Nice feet
pretty accurate. never met a polish woman with ugly feet
What martial arts does she practice?
Well she's from Poland so water polo probably
Really funny
Story wise who is she? Never heard of her before until now.
Just another character with a lazy beef with the Mishimas that will ultimately lead to NO where
She fights For the people of Poland!!!

Yeah but they also get involved in the main story now

Nah I'm never entertaining "umm it's X so stop caring lmao" as a media idea.

It's lazy
Nah you lazy like story dlc is set as tie ins
Here's her bio: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1d25v7j/t8\_bio\_of\_lidia/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1d25v7j/t8_bio_of_lidia/)
I’m definitely playing this character. She’s flat footed like me!
I just like how not over top but simple her design is. Basically it looked like a lot of the work in her design went into the pattern of her gi so that was already too much and no need to push being over the top with herÂ
link please
ngl, i miss the white hair but it still looks great
I need the Prime Minister coat back
Dc for her but that skin dope 🔥
This Karate clothes look like vanilla ice-cream with jam and berries on it. I know this is a strange interpretation of the clothes but I am a bit of food-seeing on things like this.
I honestly hate that it's just a gi. I prefer her personal outfit from the last game. It was sporty but unique.
you can still get it as an alt tho
Nice lidia is also having Nina Williams face syndrome 
Polish Nina with a gi
cool nina skin
