New Tekken 8 Trailer Shows Paul Phoenix And His Terrible Hairstyle In Action

There are two constants in a Tekken game, and that’s the inclusion of Paul Phoenix in the game roster and his incredibly vertical hairstyle. There are three traditions, technically, if you’re counting Phoenix being beaten by a bear. For Tekken 8, that tradition is being kept mostly intact, although this time, Phoenix is entering the King of the Iron Fist tournament with a new look that is drastically different from previous incarnations.

Beyond a new hairstyle that looks like it was stolen from a K-pop boy band, not much has changed when it comes to the punishment that Phoenix dishes out. Using a hybrid mix of karate and judo, Paul delivers powerful and precise blows to finish off opponents. As seen in the trailer, he still has his signature Death Fist attack, which has a long build-up time but delivers devastating damage if it connects.
