LOL from ’s 8 debut via Steam. 😅
Requested to get a video clip of in action in her Heihachi-inspired getup (with a super-cool oni mask!) — damn, would wanna dress up like that for Halloween! 🤣👹🤷🏻♀️
Reina, compared to Asuka (since Tekken 5), feels much easier to navigate, but apparently, as someone new to using her, she’s yet no match for ’s Ling Xiaoyu (& Xiaoyu’s been my main in good ol’ fashioned Tekken 3).
But Kazumi from Tekken 7 feels the most fluid to use (even if most Mishima character moves feel fu***ng clunky for me).
Nevertheless, Reina is a most awesome new character, & even if I lost here (couldn’t replicate my winning moves earlier, LOL), it was so nice to geek out with fellow gamer friends (also our reigning champions de la nuit, yowza). (& oh, hello, )
Even on raves about how she’s so popular to both newbies & Legacy players, yay!
It’s so much fun how we were all geeking out to characters not shown here (like Lidia Sobieska, a sexy Polish champion karateka, who looks like Hwoarang in pink, except Hwoarang does taekwondo; & of course, Heihachi Mishima, who’s Reinaˋs dad, after all, which technically makes her Kazuya’s kid sister & Jin Kazama’s aunt, even if Jin’s her senpai).
& yep, I’m obsessed with her oni ensemble! According to TekkenWiki:
”Her 3rd outfit consists of a red steel half-oni mask with golden teeth. With that, she wears a crimson kimono with yellow flower embroidery, a white sarashi with Japanese characters, black arm bracers tied with thin red rope & golden trim at the openings over black fingerless gloves, & matching armor from her neck to her sternum as well as armored plates covering her upper left arm. She also has black armor around her waist with a gold trim, tied with white rope that has 2 gold fasteners at the front, as well as a larger red rope around her hips. She then wears a black hakama with a white phoenix design on top of all that, plus black full-heeled sandals.”
Pardon my weeb-ness (or maybe, NO, lol)
Thank you so much, Matt & Aya, for hosting! HNY!
