Tekken 8 theory: Victor is related to Dragunov and will play a role in his story
My evidence is as follows:
-
Dragunov has a move called Victor Clutch. This is just transliterated in the Japanese version, but is unmistakably a name. The technique is a CQC takedown, which Victor supposedly does.
-
Dragunov has in recent storylines fought Raven and Master Raven. Both of which work for the UN as secret agents. The leaks say Victor is a French UN agent.
-
Dragunov doesn't really have a well developed storyline, so it makes sense they'd introduce a new rivalry and ally to Raven.
All totally based on leak info but I think it could be credible. My personal out-there theory is he's intended as a Marduk replacement, as Harada likes Marduk but acknowledges he isn't popular, similar to how Azucena is kind of a Lucky Chloe replacement. I reckon Victor might have been some sort of mentor to Dragunov and he's trying to find him again.
What do you think 🤔

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for one, someone else already said Victor Clutch is a real life name for a technique, but also... if not translated otherwise, I'd guess Victor Clutch refers to a grab done to win a fight, or a clutch by the victor, the winner (as in victory).
Unless of course the technique was invented by some dude named Viktor/Victor.
Yeah, they were absolutely right about that. But who knows, maybe that's why they called him Victor? As a reference?
