Tekken 8 Is Really Shipping Lars And Alisa
Although Tekken has hinted at some kind of romance between Lars and Alisa for a few games now, Tekken 8 takes things to another level and shines a massive spotlight on it.
Although Tekken is mostly focused on humans, devils, animals, and robots beating the snot out of each other, that doesn't mean that it shies away from romance every now and again.

That's already making it pretty clear that Alisa likes Lars, but the shipping is pushed even further in Lars' ending. After beating Lars' character episode, he's shown creating an advert with Lee and Alisa for his rebel army, Yggdrasil. After filming the advert, Lars and Alisa are shown complimenting
