Even more fighters are joining the roster of Tekken 8

Bandai Namco have revealed two more fighters for Tekken 8, which brings the roster to 12 confirmed so far. The new fighters are Leroy Jen.. wait Leroy Smith and Asuka Kazuma, check them out below.

The first fighter is Leroy Smith, and he's a master of Wing Chun kung fu. He has a cool backstory too: he was a young boy living in New York when a gang war destroyed his family and neighborhood. He swore revenge and left the city, wandering the world and learning various martial arts. After 50 years, he returned to New York as a wise and powerful fighter, ready to take on anyone who stands in his way.

Leroy has a unique fighting style that combines fast and fluid punches, kicks, parries, and counters. He also has a loyal companion: a pitbull named Sugar, who can assist him in battle with some vicious bites.

Asuka is a feisty and fearless fighter who uses a style of martial arts based on her family's Kazama Style Traditional Martial Arts. She made her debut in Tekken 5 and has been a fan favorite ever since. She is also the cousin of Jin Kazama, the leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu and one of the main protagonists of the Tekken story.

Both these characters will join the rest when Tekken 8 releases, likely later this year.
