Tekken 8 Gameplay Trailer Showcases Alisa

4.3

As Bandai Namco approaches the launch of Tekken 8, a new character trailer is available with Alisa Bosconovitch as the star. Debuting in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, she’s an android with chainsaw arms, thrusters and more for combat. Check out how she plays below.

Alisa is a fun character, possessing some high-damage attacks that are easy to pull off. Low attacks and pokes are ideal, but she can also pressure opponents at range with Rocket Punch. The only real downside is several of her attacks can be avoided by side-stepping, opening Alisa up to punishment.

Nevertheless, you can’t deny the flashiness of her moves, especially her Rage Art, where she bicycle kicks her detached head into an opponent. Tekken 8 launches on January 26th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, but a free demo is live on all platforms with four characters, Arcade Quest and Story Mode to try out.
