Legendary matman is one of the character featured in every Tekken secret plan . He is faster and more quick in this installment , consanguineous to Mexican luchadors .
Lee ’s an excellent choice for people who care snappy , debauched characters — his speed and agility more than make up for his want of military strength .
Being old and seemingly more in debt , Paul seems slower but harder - strike . If you could get over his Karen haircut , he ’s a very reliable fibre .
This mysterious ninja return after being replaced by Master Raven in Tekken 7 . His fighting style is based on acrobatics and conjuring trick , which makes him very hard to predict .

These graphic symbol commonly have some serious defect that prevent them from being well - balanced . They are still helpful , but we do n’t predict them being choose in tourney very often , except for flexing .
Every scrap biz has a Bruce Lee clone , and Marshal Law fits that part perfectly . Nevertheless , he is much weaker compare to his Tekken 7 version because his range and damage are lower at the same speed .

Leroy Smith is a master of Wing Chun , and he was introduced in Tekken 7 . He is much weaker now , with lower combination power and damage output .

Victor Chevallier is the last newcomer on this list . This French assassinator conflict in a interchangeable way as Raven . Interestingly enough , he use both guns and blades when he fights .
C-Tier
C - tier characters seriously lack the oppose abilities to compete in top - level grade . They are still better than gimmick character , and good players can use them well , but they are all but useless .
When she was inclose in Tekken 6 , Alisa was a scary quality disguised as a cute robot girl . In this installment , she keeps the latter part , but she ’s very underwhelming as a combatant due to her lower damage output .
