Bob Tekken 8 Season 3 DLC
Speed and weight, perfectly combined, that philosophy defines Robert “Bob” Richards, the American bounty hunter and freestyle karate specialist who returns to the King of Iron Fist Tournament as a Season 3 DLC addition in Tekken 8. Once a slender martial arts prodigy celebrated for his natural gifts, Bob made a radical choice to bulk his frame to enormous proportions, convinced that mass and momentum would unlock fighting potential his lean physique never could.
Bob’s Personality and Fighting Style
Calm under pressure and laser-focused in combat, Bob cuts a striking contrast to the loud, brawling energy most fighters bring to the Iron Fist Tournament. He genuinely believes his deliberately expanded body represents the “perfect” physical form, and no amount of skepticism from onlookers will shake that conviction. On the battlefield, that confidence is fully justified. His freestyle karate flows with surprising agility, and his moveset hits with a reach and evasion that defies every assumption about a fighter his size. Even his technique names draw from culinary references, a subtle quirk that gives his character an unexpectedly playful edge beneath the stoic exterior.
Bob’s Role in Tekken 8
Bob re-enters the Tekken universe carrying the same core motivation that has driven him since Tekken 6: to prove his doubters wrong through results alone. As a bounty hunter, he previously worked alongside Julia Chang tracking down threats at the South Pole, and his return in Season 3 slots him back into a roster hungry for his brand of heavy-hitting, high-speed pressure. His arrival was quietly teased in Tekken 8’s Urban Square stage, where a background detail reading “Bob Burger” had eagle-eyed fans speculating well before the official announcement dropped.
Who Voices Bob in Tekken 8?
Patrick Seitz has voiced Bob in English since Tekken 6, bringing a grounded, self-assured delivery to the character across every appearance. Seitz is one of the most decorated voice actors working in games and anime today, best known for voicing Dio Brando in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Scorpion in the Mortal Kombat series, and Endeavor in My Hero Academia.
