Nightmare Announcer for Tekken 8


Info: This is a mod I originally made for myself in Tekken 7. I decided to remake it for Tekken 8 because I like it and a lot of SoulCalibur players told me they liked it and asked for it.

Updates v1.2: - Added lines for DLC characters Eddy and Lidia - Changes some character select lines

Installation: Put the .pak file that's inside the .zip in \TEKKEN 8\Polaris\Content\Paks\~mods Create a ~mods folder if you do not have one. (Note: this folder has to be called exactly "~mods" or the lines for DLC characters will not work.

Story: In 1590, Siegfried destroyed Soul Edge with Soul Calibur. When he did this, a piece of his soul corrupted by Soul Edge’s influence was trapped within astral chaos. In 2018, Soul Edge has been completely destroyed, save for two fragments. One of these fragments resides within Mekki-Maru, a blade once wielded by Taki, and owned by the Fu-Ma clan. This blade remains dormant, and its current whereabouts remain unknown. The other fragment resides within the blade Yoshimitsu.

Yoshimitsu was infused with a shard of Soul Edge in the 16th century, in an effort by the Manji clan to improve the potency and power of Manji ninjutsu by the wielder. The blade was first awakened after Oda Nobunaga’s invasion of Manji village in 1581, where Yoshimitsu fought Oba Nobunaga’s entire army singlehandedly while the army slaughtered every man, woman, and child within the village. The massacre of Manji Village allowed the fragment of Soul Edge within the Yoshimitsu blade to awaken, and the demon of the sword that manifested from this began to influence Yoshimitsu. The demon of the sword fully manifested within astral chaos in 1587, when Yoshimitsu entered Ostrheinsburg Castle, the place Nightmare had resided. While Yoshimitsu was ultimately able to seal the demon, it remained dormant within the sword until 2018.

In 2018, Azazel’s resurrection has reawakened the dormant fragments of Soul Edge scattered throughout the world. Because of this, and Yoshimitsu’s journey to an underground Mishima Zaibatsu complex that was filled with evil energy in the same manner as Ostrheinsburg Castle, the seal put on the Yoshimitsu blade in 1587 has been broken, and Soul Edge’s power has been unleashed upon the world once again.

With Azazel’s resurrection, and the Yoshimitsu’s seal being undone, this created a cascading effect within astral chaos. Astral fissures began to appear at increasing frequency throughout the world, those with Azazel’s power are forced to fight for their souls within astral chaos, and some of the souls trapped within astral chaos gain enough power to manifest themselves once again.

Among these souls includes the one of Siegfried that was trapped within astral chaos in 1590. Siegfried’s soul has become completely corrupted, and he has once again become Nightmare. Carried forward by Soul Edge’s influence and deception, Nightmare oversees battles from astral chaos, collecting the souls of the losers. Should Nightmare be able to collect enough souls, Nightmare will gain the capability to reconstruct Soul Edge, allowing him to exit astral chaos. If this happens, Nightmare’s shadow will once again blanket the world.
