Following last week’s trailer for Kuma, Panda takes the spotlight in the latest character trailer for Arika and Bandai Namco’s TEKKEN 8.
Going by the nickname “Pretty Protector,” Panda serves as Ling Xiaoyu’s pet and bodyguard. Her fighting style utilizes the Heihachi-Style Advanced Kuma Shin Ken. She also utilizes moves from Ling Xiaoyu in TEKKEN 8.
She’s far from just a clone these days; Panda was able to receive her own character slot since Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Her long arms also give her the chance to make use of strong whiff punishment from range. However, she has a shorter range on her kicks due to her smaller legs.
