The fans were very excited as they announced that Heichachi is finally coming back to Tekken 8. Fans were begging for his return after knowing that Tekken 8 will be released. 

Supposedly, he was about to die in Tekken 7 but everyone was hoping for his comeback. Though, everyone knew that there’s really a chance that he’d be back somehow. 

After Harada and Ikeda decided that they wanted to give a proper ending for Tekken 7 between the rivalry of Heihachi and Kazuya, they saw how much fans loved the story. 

After fans claimed their victory expecting the comeback of Heihachi, Harada and Ikeda decided to finally favor what the fans love. It turns out that they were actually having plans from the start!

To think that these folks already planned for his comeback in Tekken 8, they were actually sending some hints for the preparations behind.  

While they didn’t share any official statement about Tekken 8, fans were still excited that Heihachi is still alive. 

Moreover,  they just wanted us to think more while they haven’t released an official statement yet. However, we expect that this character will dominate a very powerful play style throughout the series. 

Heihachi’s Fighting Style

We all know that Heihachi is a legend and his fighting style is composed by everyone in his family. Since many players have already adapted to his fighting style, changing it for the next Tekken will be put at risk. 

Basically, Heihachi is known as the king of combos and he can really snap his victim’s battery life in a split second. Just one wrong move against him and you’ll lose. 

The most essential part to remember about his weapon is the Electric Wind God Fist that moves devastatingly in his combos. 

Despite some people wanting another Mishima family, Heihachi is remarked upon in the Tekken world. The developers wanted to pull some excitement about him without overpowering some other characters. Hopefully, they can pull this off and make everyone happy. 

The Next Generation of Fighters

Even though Heichachi is supposed to be dead in the previous Tekken, it’s crazy how much his character becomes significant to everyone. 

Most fans really hate it when their favorite characters die, so the developers of the game planned some smart moves to create an alternative for Heihachi’s presence. 

They started passing Heihachi’s moves as a reminder for his fresh start, like Reina who basically becomes his girl version in the Tekken. Even Kuma got his moves too! 

Despite that, they still both have individual techniques. It is just that the creators were really smart for the preparation of Heihachi’s comeback 

Just when Heihachi is finally joining the Tekken 8 again, he’ll be recognized as the third one after Eddy Gordo and Lidia Sobieska. Also, he’s having a first story in the DLC called The Dark Awakens, and continues Mishima’s family storyline. Fortunately, this is going to be free so, watch for more!
