The Pocket Commander
Roger Jr., also known as the Pocket Commander, first appeared in TEKKEN 5. This time, after dealing with his unfaithful father, Roger, he is wrongly framed for the destruction of a G Corporation building. He and his mother are now out to take down the people behind it, and the head of G Corporation.
In TEKKEN 8 he uses Commando Wrestling, mixing dynamic attacks with pro-wrestling throws. He joins Bob, Kunimitsu and the upcoming Yujiro Hanma on the Season 3 roster.
