Fighting Games Weekly | July 15-21 | Post-EVO Pillow Talk

Now that I think of it, the vamp's character description for the poll said Harada thinks the design carries good luck; maybe the fans are trying to make sure that luck rubs off on Namco again.

I honestly don't know what Namco could do to top the buildup to Tekken Tag Tournament 2, but I'd love to see them try.
 
SC2 Online will probably go something like this:

Week 1: A ton of online warriors, veterans and people wearing nostalgia goggles.
Week 2: Mostly veterans who drove everyone else off by abusing step-guard and 2G.
Week 3: Veterans start remembering why they got sick of this game in the first place.
Week 4:

Here is the full description.

(3) Female Vampire (A young girl, long imprisoned by the Rochefort family)

A young female vampire that has been imprisoned in a wing of the Rochefort Estate, where Lili was raised.
She has a dark personality, but her gothic attire and uncanny beauty are mesmerizing. During development of Tekken 6, she was proposed as a character that used an actual martial art, but also with fireballs, like a 2D fighting game character.
However, aside from Harada, a strange phenomena occurred in which many members got married or gave birth to children around the same time. As a result, not many staff were left at work to complete the character, and she was discarded. The concept was salvaged again during Tekken 6 BR, but the same strange phenomena occurred again and Harada locked the concept away in a safe, wanting to keep it secured within the development team since it (she) seems to bring good fortune.

It's 2013, and people are still afraid of losing $1 in a fight with a salmon. SMH

Yeah, that's the one. The idea that the design is a harbinger of good fortune is just too funny to pass up.
But on a serious note, I find it interesting that the Tekken 6 Development team was toying around with introducing a character with a fireball move before they solidified plans for Tekken X Street Fighter (at least, I'm assuming that TXSF wasn't being kicked around that far back). I'm really eager to see how they plan to implement it. But Ono said not to worry about it, so I'm just gonna relax.

That first week is going to be hot though.

Truer words have never been spoken......I can't wait till commentator on weekly streams start dropping the "this game is legit" bullshit.

I think of it as a 2nd impact combo because you can just loop it in 2i. In 3s you can just barely follow up after it. I mucked around with 2i ibuki for the "new blood 3" combo video.

I just checked the combo video out and 2nd impact ex kazegiri is just too nasty. I bet it was in the beta of super SF4 but was taken out, just too many ways Ibuki can convert after a hit.
 
They said at the Capcom panel yesterday that they wouldn't be revealing the 5th character at comic con. Not sure why you guys still thought they would announce it at the SF panel.

Also new trailer being shown apparently.

If I had known that I obviously wouldn't have had my hopes up, now would I?
 
Confused as to the secrecy regarding the 5th character. This is obviously being aimed solely at the people who still play the game, and those people are likely going to buy the upgrade regardless, so long as the gameplay changes don't completely break the game.

Yet they're being free with describing the gameplay changes/character tweaks (the major selling point to their customer base for this update) but hiding the 5th character, who they must know is someone that likely won't stir up any strong feelings one way or the other due to the restrictions placed on their inclusion.

It's a completely backwards strategy. It's hype for the sake of hype, and it's empty.
