Ling Xiaoyu returns in Tekken 8 with his signature moves such as Bai Yang Zhuan Wu, Wings of Fury and Phoenix Cannon.
In Tekken 8, Ling Xiaoyu gets a visual overhaul with a completely different costume from his previous iterations. His stance style of play has been retained, with several attacks going through the iconic Art of the Phoenix stance. This posture, unique to the character, also allows you to dodge many ranged attacks. She also has several defensive moves that change the position of her and her opponent when applied correctly, giving patient players an effective way to punish overly aggressive players. Finally, several other attacks are due to Ling Xiaoyu’s interaction with the Heat System and his Rage Art.
Ling Xiaoyu in action in Tekken 8
First introduced in Tekken 3, she initially wanted to earn enough money to build her own amusement park, but eventually became embroiled in Kazama and Mishima’s family drama. Since then, Ling Xiaoyu has appeared in many media licensed by Bandai Namco other than live-action films. She is one of the many Tekken characters whose pose is based on various methods of attack or movement.
Tekken 8 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC (Steam).
