10 Overpowered Characters That DESTROYED Players Online
7. Reina - Tekken 8
Yes, let's give one of Tekken 8's launch characters a repertoire that far exceeds everyone else's. Fantastic idea, Bandai Namco. Bravo. Immature? Yep. But let's not forget that this is a series with pedigree. Anyone involved with the development of Tekken should know, by now, the difference between a mildly overtuned fighter, and a godlike martial artist who can punish even something as slight as a misstep.
Reina ticks all of those boxes, and then some. Arguably the worst crime — although skilled players are going to get more mileage out of her — is accessibility. One would be forgiven for thinking that if everyone can abuse the best of the best, then there's no disparity in skill online. That's kind of true, but the knock-on effect of Reina's reign over the rest of the cast means the entirety of Tekken 8's remaining roster is invalidated as a result.
Sure, there's nothing to stop folks from hiding from her fists in private/custom lobbies, but anytime ranked is contemplated, Reina's going to come a-knocking. The inevitable patch to curb her prevalence can't come soon enough.
