Every character in Tekken 8 has 180 points of stamina. While this typically means that a player will have to guess correctly at least two or three times while utilizing optimal bread and butter combos, touch of death combos do appear to be possible with a specific set of variables in place.
Magishinobi recently posted a clip how Kuma can deal 193 damage in a single sequence on the Underground Arena stage without using the Rage mechanic. Of course, these specific set of circumstances are pretty unlikely to happen in a real match.
Before landing the first hit, Kuma must have the Heat mechanic active. Additionally, the opponent must be in the corner.
Once these conditions are met, Kuma was fully charge his Fresh Salmon Hunter. Not only that, but the opponent will need to trade with this move with a weak hit so that Kuma may link into another fully charged Fresh Salmon Hunter.
If Kuma is able to set up this situation, then it will be possible to take the opponent from one corner to the other. As a result, 193 damage in total will be dealt, leading to the opponent’s life bar being deleted.
