IS REINA GOING TO BE TOP TIER IN TEKKEN 8?!

Justin Wong gets early access to Tekken 8 and immediately puts Reina through her paces to determine her competitive viability. Fresh from a hands-on session with a review copy, Wong breaks down why he's confident calling her top-tier material, examining her tools, gameplan strengths, and how she shapes up against the broader cast. The video captures those crucial first impressions when a new character's potential is still being uncovered—before the meta solidifies and the lab work intensifies. Wong's read on Reina reflects both his experience reading new fighting game releases and his willingness to make bold predictions early. Whether Reina lives up to the hype will depend on how players adapt to her design once the game releases, but Wong's assessment here documents one of the FGC's top players staking his claim on her prospects before the competitive scene has even begun.
