I honestly don't have a problem with Hwoarang, seems K-pop-ish.
@Gray Looks fine to me, he is a guest character after all.

I'm seriously hoping for cool cusomization so we can give her a real breakdancer outfit or something. Other than that I stopped hating on her honestly.
I agree, but Akuma is different in general.
We already get rage at ~half HP, which is enough for both sides in my opinion.
I also agree with Sayah. By the time T7 releases for consoles it will have been playable for 2,5 years (which will be 10% of my life by then... just a fun fact). I really hate this.
He's not a guest character per se though. I know what you mean by it, but he is canon to Tekken now.
I feel like Lucky Chloe, Devil Jin and Hwoarang will be the characters I will like the most, visually.
Also, I'm salty today, about not getting to play Fated Retribution. It's like I'm no longer excited to try out vanilla Tekken 7 in two months. At least I'll get to try out the new characters and Josie Rizal.
Marky - I'm gonna trust your words and have some hope. There's no way it's a good time to be a Tekken fan if 99% of the fans are waiting three years for a release date while Namco continues to cater exclusively and fully to the 1% in Asia. I'd rather be a Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat fan - at least I'd have a game to play. It doesn't matter how good Tekken 7 is if we don't even have our hands on it.
Here's what Namco can do to fix this (in order of highest to lower priority):
1. Release the game in retail on consoles by November 2016 at latest
2. Release the game on PC/PS4/Xbone digitally and charge a monthly subscription fee of ~$15.
3. Release the game on PC/PS4/Xbone digitally and charge for matches similar to the arcade model.
4. Have multiple beta tests on PC/PS4/Xbone similar to SFV.
5. Release a limited demo with different characters being playable every two weeks.

Awful ideas. I'd never play the game in this format.
A couple beta test weekends would definitely take the edge off the long wait a bit.
I'd rather have that than no game at all until 2017.
I'm getting desperate here if it wasn't very clear already. People will shit on the game if it takes those routes no doubt but I just want to play it from the comfort of home someway somehow.
Maybe I should first prioritize a Tekken Revolution model where we're given tickets for a few free matches until we lose - and need to pay for additional play time.

Releasing the vanilla one on current gen as Tekken 7 Revolution might have been a pretty good idea actually... Then later do FR properly.
Too late for something like that now though.

I would be 100% okay with getting vanilla Tekken 7 while we wait for FR. It won't have Nina but I'll manage.
The past view days were weird, with the announcement of the game at Evo i was more than sure that we will play it this year. But now with the game coming to arcades in summer without even a specific date... So disappointed. Namco being quiet about any console info is just confirming it as well.
Being Tekken fan is a hard work.
Being Tekken fan is a hard work.
I'll just not be a Tekken fan by that point. And it'll be the last time I thirst like a dog for a gaming franchise of all things. Maybe I'm over exaggerating that, but need to get life priorities straight anyway.

It makes sense. See Tetsuya Nomura for math logic. lol
But really, I'm pumped for Tekken 7. Let it marinate in the arcades it bit (which Bandai Namco seems to be doing anyway) and then serve it when its ready for consoles.

Remove the silly eyepatch and that werd jacket + chain thing and he looks fine imo.
It looks weird. The fact that he is the only one with a super meter makes him stand out from the rest. It doesnt feel like he is part of the Tekken cast but more of a guest character, even though he is integral to the storyline. I hoped they would incorporate him well but giving him a completely different system is just weird to me. Why not let everyone have the same tools? It doesnt look like Namco wanted to make Akuma their own character, they just made him as similar to SF as possible.
I cant speak for him but maybe he has a very arcade point of view? Great year for TEKKEN fans.. with the launch of FR in arcades and the chance for Americans to try the game out in select areas.
The ironic thing is that their biggest market is in Europe, when it comes to console sales. Harada said that out of the 42 million TEKKEN sales, 20 million have been from EU. And there is no arcade scene here, maybe a few arcades in the UK but thats it.
It feel so weird, I was so hyped because of the recent stream of characters reveals/trailers/new mechanics etc but the arcade release date has really put a damper on all of that. Namco would want to milk the $$ they earn in the arcades, I highly doubt they will want to cannibalize the profits they make in the arcade by releasing a console version in the fall.
You let a thing marinate for three years, it'll become rotten.
It's just hard to see them nonchalantly advertise a summer 2016 arcade release - and not have any plans at all for the rest of their fan base. Having a few cabinets present at tournaments is not a plan.
There is no way we're getting a console announcement at E3 in June or EVO in July when the arcade release is happening at earliest in June.
They better have some plan in place for the rest of us - otherwise I'm done following this game and I'm done going through incessant cycles of hype and anti-hype.
So much for a 20th Anniversary. See you during the 22nd Anniversary instead.
The summer release has put a damper on everything - and finally Tekken 7 was starting to earn some goodwill.
Ah shit man, I need you guys to stick around and help me out with my Josie training.
Totally agree with this.
Totally agree with this.
But this:
= Lei Wulong character reveal.
And thus they'll reveal new characters through the year, so we won't forget about it.
Characters get revealed that we won't be able to play for another year. Time to forget about the game.
Pretty much where I'm at.
The next announcement I look forward to is a 2016 release date, whether that means on consoles or a limited beta release or a vanilla Tekken 7 digital release or one of the other options I listed. Until that announcement, I will not bother to get myself hyped for anything else - no matter the amount of character reveals done.

Eh MarkMan's cryptic writings on the wall could mean a lot of things. He could mean new arcade sticks are in the works for T7. Who knows. New characters isn't going to bring the hype back for me. Thankfully there are other fighters out there to play. Every once in a while I'll go back to TTT2 but meh. I'm just done with Tag.
CcrooK, I'm kidding about the character reveal.
I love character reveals so I'll keep being hyped, but I also always assumed a March 2017 release. The only thing I'm disappointed with is, that I won't get to play Fated Retribution in April.

I'm having a moment here man. lol
Ugh. How disappointing though. But hey, we got good games this year!
And if there is no 2016 release date announcement - then I guess I have nothing to look forward to with this game.
Time to go enjoy Splatoon.
Edit: Sorry for my childish tantrum - but if a 3-year late console release is successful, they'll be doing the same thing for Tekken 8. I don't see myself supporting that model. At that point, it's just better to move on to other things. At best, I'll buy the game pre-owned or in a bargain bin.

Im still gonna be there day one when the game lunches, but my hyped and will to play any Tekken died down a lot just from the thought of "another year". Like a week ago my mind set was "another 7-8 months until t7!!!!" and that felt so nice. Its somewhat heart breaking now but its better to have low expectations and then be positively surprised.
All the hype that I was trying to maintain is dead now. I really tried :/
Sorry MarkMan, but this is the worst time to be a Tekken fan, especially if you're European
Yeah, it really does suck for you guys. At least I got to play vanilla at Dave & Busters for some time but even that's gone now.

I'm excited for FR loketest footage next week.
Have fun watching at 240p resolution on niconico.
Well, I was ready to take 1-2 weeks off from work if it launched this year.
Yes. If you don't then you can only record your stats. You would have limited to no access when it comes to customization.
"stay tuned" Haradas response to someone asking for release date. Source Twitter 30 minutes ago.
I'll try to be optimistic.
Namco usually tries to please their fans - unlike most other Japanese companies.
But there's not much to go on when they've confirmed a summer arcade release and have recently said they haven't even started work on a console version.

Pls dont break my heart Harada, I already feel bad.
Still hoping for 2016.

Yeah Hwo is even lite for k-pop standards. I don't mind his kof maximum impact look but I seriously thought I was looking at Claudio, lol.
I still can't believe this is true. Harada just don't give a fuck, lol. But like Mike said, story has become trash by this point anyway.
I think that in T8 final boss responsible for all this mess will be unveiled as Ridge Racer Car.
Why not?

Great gifs, thanks for sharing. FR is visually stunning.
I love Law's new Rage Attack, dragon tail into legend kick.
Do we have a gif of Law's rage attack?
It's in the 4th gif.
