What happened, Miss Williams?
It’s a good time to be a fan of fighting games and a good day for those who love their sexy silent assassins. Nina Willaims, star ofDeath by Degreesand also aTekkenmainstay, got her first solo trailer for the upcoming release ofTekken 8. Nina, sister of fellow fighter Anna Williams, sports an unforgettable look this time around, and I honestly can’t take my eyes off of her. The lastTekkengame that I played wasTekken Tag Tournament 2for the Wii U and she was definitely one of my most played characters. Given her history with the series, I don’t think there was ever a danger of Nina not appearing inTekken 8, but I’m glad I didn’t have to wait too long to get her confirmed.
