Tekken’s Bob is back and bigger than ever in Tekken 8. Well, that’s what his shirt says. The all-rounder poking strategist is back in Tekken 8. To be real, the models do feel the same. The bigger they are, the harder they fall on top of you. Bob is usually in the S-Tiers in his appearances since Tekken 6.
Here’s a bit of his story from the Tekken site.
In response to the dire circumstances, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office reaches out to Bob and officially taps him to become the D.A.’s Detective Investigator. Bob, also known by his full name Robert Richards, is suddenly swept up to a level of unexpected prestige. However, with his unparalleled sense of justice, Bob is ready to answer the call and bring Kazuya Mishima to justice.
Just you wait, Mishima! With this perfect body, I will bring down the hammer of justice upon you!
Bob believes that doing an ancient Japanese tradition will destroy Kazuya Mishima, devil gene, and all. With the Heat mechanic involved, Bob might as well be that force to be reckoned with. Bob’s wall trap game might get a boost thanks to this.
What About Roger Jr?
At the end of the trailer, Sugar is kidnapped by Roger Jr. Leroy rushes to help and does something unexpected. Leroy punches Roger Jr. in the face. Instead of puffing his chest and doing nothing, Roger Jr. ends up squaring up, too. Best Tekken fight intro EVER. It’s a reference to an Austrailian viral video from the past of a man defending his hound and socking a kangaroo to do so. Leroy is also wearing similar clothes as the man who gave that swing.
As for Bob, he will be showing up on August 19th for the Early Access and August 24th for the main release. Kunimitsu 2 is already out with Roger Jr. taking fall and Baki the Grappler’s Yujiro ruining lives in the winter.
Tekken 8 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
