For those who have the Season Pass, Armor King is out! For those who don't fret too much, you can try him out on October 16th, which is just around the corner. **This post shows you what you can expect and if he is worth the purchase.** <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7472214434062426" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7472214434062426" data-ad-slot="4951124482"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> First off,**HE HITS REALLY HARD** I'm referring to the damage, and the animations themselves look visceral. **He is nothing like his past self(Tekken 7), he's much faster, more fluid, and to be honest, the most fun I had for a long time on Tekken.** One thing I noticed, which is small but noticeable, is that his grunts sound identical to KING's. Like, come on... Believe me, putting some effort into those details would be awesome for fans like me. Armor King has an Install which I don't mind, but that indicates to me that the devs will put more and more of those mechanics on newer characters(**don't get me started on the Madagascar Girl, she's everything wrong with Tekken for me at least**) I love that when he grabs his opponents while they are airborne, you hear a crowd cheering like it would happen in a wrestling match. I appreciate that a lot. The costumes look phenomenal, every one of them.  Rage Art is out of this world(literally, as Armor King picks up the opponent and throws him into a portal to violently throw him down at the center of the wrestling ring, it's just perfection. **Now, let's talk about why, for me, Miary Zhao is the turning point and the Beginning of the end for Tekken, as you know so far. Either you love her or hate her; that is just subjective, and everyone has a right to share their opinion. However, what they've shown so far already indicates that it won't only be her character per se; indeed, she will have advantages over all the Tekken roster(AKA PAY-TO-WIN character). **SHE CAN JUMP TO WALLS TO EVADE AND ATTACK EVEN AFTER GETTING GRABBED!** And yes, I know it's because of her connection with the lemurs, which I appreciate and makes sense, but that will shift the balance even more, and all characters onward will have to compete with that. It's clear they haven't considered the ramifications of that just because it looks cool. **And can I be honest? I hate the fact that they associated the **Legend OGRE with her** with the Blue Armor she looks so silly, like she belongs in Soul Calibur or Final Fantasy, making it clear that they don't know which direction to take anymore, which will cost them in the long term.** Bro, try showing her Rage Art to someone who doesn't play Tekken, and let me know after his response. **Just because it looks cool doesn't mean you should do it. Armor King Rage Art is cool because it touches the cool"fantasy" side, but doesn't go overboard.** But yeah, that's my take. Armor King is awesome, but I'm scared of Tekken's future. Please let me know your thoughts. Are you scared like me, or do you think I'm exaggerating? <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7472214434062426" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7472214434062426" data-ad-slot="4951124482"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> **Here is the special interaction with King and also me and a friend trying the New character** **Leave in the comments below.**
