Shaheen’s trailer has been revealed for Tekken 8. Although Shaheen and the rest of Tekken 8’s base roster have already been revealed, this provides our first real look at Shaheen’s gameplay.
Like many other characters in Tekken lore, Shaheen has a bone to pick with Kazuya Mishima. It turns out that G Corporation, headed by Kazuya, was responsible for the death of Salim, a close personal friend of Shaheen’s.
As seen in the trailer, Shaheen has attacks where he effectively turns the opponent into a surfboard. He’s even seen doing this during his Rage Art.
Shaheen’s fighting style comes from his time as a private military specialist. As such, he’s a user of Close Quarters Combat.
One of his moves appears to show him breaking the opponent’s neck, which causes the colors to invert for a brief moment to emphasize just how deadly this attack is. However, this will also leave Shaheen at quite a distance away from his downed opponent.
