Tekken 8: Heihachi updates (how many times do we have to kill this old man)

So i was working on my verse wide update and thought to include the contents from this on that one, but since its gonna be big as it is, its way better doing a separate one, tackling one of the holy shonen trinity esque characters of the fighting games of dying and coming back from death over, without further do, let us begin

Shared Abilities

Healing: Kazuya already got his in the profile accepted from this CRT, where i said it was only for him, but it should be common among the mishimas in general, Jin is also capable of healing himself like his father and Heihachi shown to be capable of it like his son as well, since we seen 3 of them do so by their own, its fair to say the other who are Mishimas by blood can too

Negation: Kazuya in T7 was shown to negate Heihachi status effect ability to get armor, something as a kid was unable to do at all, which he succeeds to do in the final battle and its not the only example, Heihachi does the same against Eddy in the story mode expansion, this move from Eddy can gain armor status effect which Heihachi normally shouldnt be able to punch in the exchange and succeed, as its suppose to allow his opponent to continue land its strike even if hit and win the clash, yet it happened aka he negated that like Kazuya did to him in the last game, so yeah negation should be given to the family as well and this goes to the base/human forms of the Mishimas

Summoning: Many of the Mishimas shown to have lightning called down at their command from above, Reina has a couple various examples shown with her moves, Lars has a couple various examples shown with his moves, Jin has shown as well, Heihachi obviously has some too, especially in his rage art and a cutscene too, it comes from above and descends down to their liking, so it should more then enough on this part

Limited Body Control: Like most of the male characters in the game Heihachi can roid himself up, just like them his skin gets red and the muscles mass increases visually, straight forward

Resistance to Explosion Manipulation: So in Tekken 8 Heihachi headbutts a meteor so hard, it blows up and he walks out of it only sweating and smoking, yet smiling and laughing like nothing, Kazuya also shown to walk out of a helicopter that crashes and explodes laughing and without a scratch, Lars as well has took a point blank explosion in his face without being fazed, if we are to count Jin with this too, then i think its enough to suggest a resistance to the Mishimas to explosions as they arent affected clearly even if you blow up in their face

Unique or Additional abilities

To first start it up, Heihachi gained in this game a power up both gameplay wise and lore wise what is dubbed as the Mishima Style Ultimate Technique in both, also known as Warrior Instinct, it serves as a buff to his moves, along few other things:

Limited Life Manipulation: In the past i proposed Heihachi to have regen negation, but was counted at least by one staff not to considered, now i think it should, but as something else as its already seen, with Warrior Instinct he can take away from his opponents their life energy, preventing them to heal themselves, as well able to give himself extra life energy to heal up from

Aura (Explosive): As shown earlier on the link for the Warrior Instinct, Heihachi aura is so intense that the opponent gets blasted away from its sheer power it manifests when used

Non Physical Interaction and Energy Projection: In his rage art its seen he can hold the electricity from the lightning strike in his fist as if physical and uses it to punch the opponent with it too, another thing to notice, if you watch the moment of the punch landing and watch in slow mo, along stopping the video at around 0:12 mark before it goes to 0:13 you can spot a blue fist shape going through the opponent out from the back, that should count as energy projection

Resistance to Memory Manipulation: Heihachi has amnesia in the story and the monks had tried to keep his memories sealed and failed, managing to get them back and throughtout the whole expansion, he was having his evil self fight for dominance again or flashes of past memories coming to him despite their attempts to keep them shut

And that should be it now, the others things are related to new feats and scaling which are to be handled in the verse wide CRT in the future, given season 2 will give us more characters and maybe another story expansion possibly again this year, future CRTs will occur down the line

Agree:

Disagree:
