16 of the 51 Tekken 7 characters are not in Tekken 8 so far, all 4 guest characters among them. The other 12 are Julia, Katarina, Kazumi, Marduk, Eliza, Miguel, Lei, Master Raven, Ganryu, Josie, Lucky Chloe and Gigas. Julia is the only one of those 12 graded S here. Jack-7 counts as returning through JACK-8, while Master Raven does not, since Tekken 8 brings back the original Raven.
Josie, Panda, Lucky Chloe, Gigas and Kuma hold D, the lowest band in our grade for the final version. Panda and Kuma share one fighting style and sit in D together.
