Thanks to LilyPichu\u2019s tenacity (and with help from her Tekken coach Phi \u201cPhiDX\u201d Lam), she was able to defeat Harada\u2019s Feng using Lili. Now, fresh after EVO 2024, Harada took to social media and requested a rematch between himself and Lily Pichu.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Please rematch with me.<br>Give me another chance! lol <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UShFTUXwny\">https:\/\/t.co\/UShFTUXwny<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Harada_TEKKEN\/status\/1815375171189960749?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 22, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While neither Harada\u2019s nor LilyPichu\u2019s skills could be considered on par with high-level Tekken players, their exhibition match showed them performing some good combos on each other. Both players initially won one game apiece, with the final outcome coming down to the final round. Harada was on the verge of winning until he whiffed his wake-up attack. LilyPichu then capitalized on the opening by using her character\u2019s Rage Art to finish off Harada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Evo 2024: TEKKEN 8 Evo Showcase | LilyPichu vs Harada\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eNk2TsBgyOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Harada joked that he would nerf Lili if he lost the match against LilyPichu but has yet to keep his promise in a new patch. People have already expressed interest in this probable rematch, with some joking about how Harada got beaten in his own game. Others advised Harada to <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/tekken-8-to-resurrect-heihachi-mishima-for-the-franchises-30th-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">switch to Heihachi once he is released<\/a> in autumn of this year despite the Tekken creator maining Feng.
