Yo you have freakin Bloodstained avatar. You are not worried about that shit being a disappointment?
Tekken's story completely turned into a mess after Tekken 5. I don't think any one can disagree with that. I love Tekken 6 but it's story was just overdrawn and pointless. Jin starts a world war to get rid of his devil gene or something? And fails anyway because clearly we have devil jin in Tekken 7.
Hoping they can redeem themselves with the final saga.

I think they hired the Blood Vengeance guy to do the story sooooooooooo...I mean if they haven't decided yet they could always hire me. I'll do it for cheap too just to put it on my resume.
Er... no? I've liked all of Igarashi's Castlevanias. This is in the same vein, it's getting a cozy budget... why should I be worried?
Also, I haven't actually backed it yet. Planning to do that within the next week though.
Here's the summary of why Jin did what he did:
Yeah, uh... that's some... that's some writing. :|

Init creates doing 2.5D is why you should be worried.
Is this because of Mighty No. 9? 'Cause I've heard those arguments in the main Kickstarter thread. I'm not worried.

It's cause the company sucks at 3D in general. It wont look like the concept art. It's going to look like Dracula X Chronicles. If you're okay with that, then cool but I don't trust them to produce anything of quality visually and I feel like a lot are.
I don't even like the concept art very much. I'm in it for the exploration and the gameplay.
"Let me start a global war so we can have some peace."
LOL
Who even thinks like that? Totally ruined Jin's character.
They need to hire someone else then.
Like the Tekken 4 guy! Or whoever that was.
Congrats. Top 5 is still great. No need to be salty.
Congrats on 5th Place Sasuke. Main thing was to have fun
Thanks, guys.
These were our Grand Finals
I might upload a video myself, but it's not certain yet.
That deathfist damage reminds me of how much I hate Paul.
I knew someone would do this with the Kazumi trailer^^
Tekken 4 story was great. They should hire him again!

One of the many stupid anime style tropes that sneaked its way into this series.
I don't even wanna think about how hard it must be to move around and stuff in Tekken with that thingMan the 360 controller sucks for TTT2
When I played SF4/Marvel on 360 at a weekly meetup, I could not deal
I got a Madcatz pad, a PDP pad, the silver controller with the turning D-pad, and eventually settled for a 360-to-PS2 convertor
all this and no 360 at home
Was trying to catch some of Knee's stream while my boss was out for lunch:
http://www.twitch.tv/holyknee
Was actually more focused on the chat. Help me was there answering questions. Sad news is that Only Practice quit because he really doesn't like the game He also says Yoshimitsu is super buff this time around. Also says that Josie is stupid good more than Bruce. her f+1+2 is more menacing than Bruce's b+2. And her d+4 being only -10 is a pain.
Craziest thing, was that Help me said that against Devil Jin's b,f+2,1,2 he would ssL after the second hit and try to block but the third hit would still impact on him. That's pretty worrying for me :/

Doesn't Only Practice use Nina as a main anyway?
Yeah, it's very deluded sadistic thinking. Whoever was writing the story has a bad imagination.

Lars now i guess:
" Help_me: only practice doest play he hate this game because he think lars sucks. "
Maybe he'll switch once Nina's released just to test the waters.
LMAO These comments are gold.

Namco: "No character design is safe, we're gonna ruin any progressive art direction with our putrid customization system mwahaha"
I dunno why I though she'd be safe being a boss character :/

OK the hunting hawk in to the chop is too good. The supernatural stuff really wasn't needed.
EDIT: https://twitter.com/Flying_Wonkey/status/605605280299114496
Looks like Nina's gotta wait until Tekken 7 BR

Interesting.
Either way, I am more than happy to sacrifice my main Anna if it meant no capos,bears or Roger in the game!
Neat, although I'm bummed that we won't be getting any reveals this Thursday. I wonder if they will have something Tekken 7 related to show at E3 after all.
Monster!
Anyway, if they capped the roster here... I don't know, it feels like one of the most boring rosters in the history of the series. I definitely expect more. Probably with a new character select screen, although those don't seem to happen often outside of BR/DR style updates.

The only missing essential from the roster is Nina.
I don't mind if they add some of (not necessarily all of)the following :
Anna : my main and Absolute favorite,subjective.
Lee/Violet: These are very high skill level characters that their players invest a lot of time in.They need to come back.I want to see Fighting GM play again.
Ganryu : yeah Ganryu is a very well designed character and Tekken classic
Bob : let's be a honest..a US tournament mainstay like Bob needs to come back.I actually love his game design but not necessarily his visual design.A master troll in Tekken.
Zafina : A recent Tekken Icon imo.Very unique animations,beautiful design.
Jun : might be redundant because of Asuka,Still an awesome design from TTT2.
Miguel : he's cool.Straightforward gameplay and design.
Wang : A classic troll.I just love him.
Raven,Baek,Marduk,Bears,Capos can rot in a digital dungeon somewhere on a Bamco computer.

Last time release character for now?
Hopefully, the rest will follow sooner rather than later.
Yeah but unless it's a local tourney, though even then it's set to event mode, everybody here in Japan only plays online. I figure the same for Korea too.
And fuck Phoenix Smasher.
Itagaki, is that you?
We'll have Devil's Third hopefully by next year, we are aiming for it.
looking at Kazumi's movelist ,I think everything looks perfect.
Except for that damn tiger.Its animations are janky,have no weight and it just doesn't make sense in the context of Tekken.
Its just a frustrating blemish on an otherwise perfect character....Thnx Harada....GAHHH!!!

Mm... we must be thinking of different contexts.
In terms of summoning an assist,No other character does that am I right ?
I think it takes away from a thematic element in the game.
I imagine summoning shit would be cheating in the King of Iron Fist tournament :/
Like ,Kazumi needs her shitty pet to beat others in the tourney.

Kazumi looks great. Weird that she has so few moves, but at least she doesn't sound bad like Eliza (who also has a very short list).
Well Unknown did summon giant purple goop hands and spikes in Tag 2.
A smaller move list is a good thing, as long as there's a tool for every situation and the combos do good damage
If you're gonna eliminate entire characters for the sole purpose of consolidation, taking the risk of putting character diehards off just to benefit new players, why should every character still have a hundred moves? It defeats the whole purpose IMO

I agree entirely. With Eliza though, it felt like they just cut way too much. Or didn't finish her or whatever. She felt like half a character, and definitely missing some stuff she could use.
Kazumi doesn't seem like that, which makes me very happy. Probably gonna play her.
Looking through her movelist;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_-PYToFUwo
She kinda reminds me a bit of the Angel specific moves looking at the moves that come out her forward teleport and the while rising attacks. She also has DJin's laser cannon, Heihachi's TTT2 twin pistons, the last hit of heihachi's b,f+2,2. Also, is she the first Tekken character to get the same sideturned throw for both the right and left sides? That's a bit of a bummer.
EDIT: Oh my GOD Namco... Why do you hate this series so much!

I agree with Only Practice on Lars. I think he's not very good anymore. The only thing that kept him really good in Tag 2 was his damage and how well her worked in the Tag system. Now with more nerfs he's just an average character at best with nothing too outstanding.
