Kunimitsu and Bob have already been released for Season 3 of Tekken 8. This means that Roger Jr. is due to join next on November 17 (or November 12 via the early access perk of the season pass).
In preparation for Roger Jr.’s launch, Bandai Namco has launched Roger Jr.’s starter guide for Tekken 8. As one might expect from this sort of video, it provides a detailed breakdown on how to best utilize Roger Jr. during gameplay.
Near the beginning of the video, Roger Jr. is described as a “comical and adorable character with a playful fighting style.” He and his mother have access to plenty of acrobatic attacks that stem from a variety of stances. His fighting style is said to allow the duo to excel at close-range combat.
It’s also noted that Roger Jr. and his mother are able to mount an aggressive fighting style with simplified inputs. This makes them ideal for almost any player to pick up and play.
Roger Jr.’s “must-use moves” include the Rising Roo Kick, Goo Goo Slugger, Generation Combo and the Table Flip. The Astronauts stance is a particularly comical and tricky stance since it leaves Roger Jr. and his mother airborne while the mother is flailing her legs to keep herself afloat longer than what is normally possible in real life (almost like a cartoon).
Clearly, the Astronauts stance is a particularly useful move in the kangaroo duo’s kit since they also have access to Astra Climb, which is a command grab that deals no damage, but is able to immediately transition into the Astronauts stance.
