All Tekken 8 character episodes

Each fighter in Tekken 8's roster has their own character episode. After you select an episode and enter it, you'll duke it out against opponents in a series of stages. A unique cutscene appears after you complete these fights.

Take Panda's Tekken 8 episode, for example. An adorable ending appears after you reject Kuma's love and defeat him in the final stage. Panda becomes the King of the Iron Fist Tournament and enters a special interview.
