Nina has had a drastic change in appearance compared to her original appearance in the first game of the series. The original outfit for Nina was simply a purple dress, so the sunglasses and leather jacket are a fantastic addition to this iconic character. The moves for the character appear to include many low hits but still include her rapid attack speed fans are familiar with. The dual pistols are an amazing addition to the character, granting a familiar anti-hero aesthetic suiting an assassin. It will be amazing to see how much she has changed when players prepare for the next battle.
Nina Williams joins the other already-announced characters for Tekken 8, Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Jun Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, King, Jack-8, and Lars Alexandersson.
