YouTube channel YellonMotion released a video comparing Nina Williams fromTekken 8and her version fromTekken 7. Nina Williams is one of themost important characters inTekken, and the first radical difference between the two is their appearance. The fighter uses the same intro and another dialogue and almost identical animations for both. However, the video shows that her Rage Art super attacks are quite different. Although the maneuvers start very similar and are activated with the same type of attack, theTekken 8version revolves around Nina’s pistols. InTekken 7, the fighter climbs on her opponent and grabs them into submission, making the attack more physical.
