Btw I wanna claim the Josie render as my avatar.
And now I will beg for a Danish character. But the closest I'll ever get is probably Lars, and that's fine with me.
But Lars is really a Johnny's Jpop singer tho.
Yesssssss, let's start the Al Jazeera bandwagon!
Lol, well at least Harada is trying to be diverse, regardless of how mundane.
Also in somalian.
One step closer to having a Somalian character in a fighting game instead of being shot at in various shooters.
We are not all pirates or have guns all the time. Geez.
We also got Kazuya (Kamenashi) and Jin (Akanishi) in the roster. Johnny's invading Tekken D:
The Somalian language has a lot of Arabic words in it, doesn't it?
More than even i know.
Basically all names of places and items that i say are arabic. And i dont speak arabic by the way.
I was in a room with a bud who could speak it and i started naming the stuff in the room in somalian and 90% was also arabic.
Even normal speech.
I have a few friends who are Somalian and visit a Somalian mosque sometimes and when they start speaking it's like a language I don't know with a few words in arabic being thrown in between. I was surprised by how much of the conversation I understood from just those few words

Tell them to play Tekken if they don't already. Unless they are the type that only care about Fifa. Half of my friends play Fifa. We love soccer. Played PES for 10 years straight and was glad when i stopped. Need more Tekken time.
I used to like soccer but my god do i hate it now.
Have a Nice Day

That's because Somal is an Arabic country.
EDIT: or I guess I should call it Somalia.
Super religious too and the reason why the language is taught in schools/madrasa before english.
You know what, forget about my complains about the design really. Mark Julio, you did an acceptable job, and please thank Harada-san for listening to us, who have been craving for a Filipina character, ever since we started playing Tekken. In my case, since Tekken 2 in 1996.
I have been waiting 19 years, so I'm also happy, that her fighting style looks to be a lot of fun, and that it is based on the national fighting style of Eskrima, added with kickboxing, which came from my top 3 favorite character Bruce Irvin.
The stupid headband ears, I can hopefully remove in Customizations, and have it fit my interpretation of the Filipino people more.
So, in all of these hard times, I want to thank you Mark, Harada and the rest of Tekken Project, for finally fulfilling a life long dream in gaming. I never thought I would see the day coming, but here it is. She's finally here.

Congrats man. Would you prefer if it were male or does it not matter?
I will one day get the characters i want in.
I always wanted it to be a Filipina, alas a female. So it's perfect, though I wish the design and winning pose were different.
If it had been a male it wouldn't be a problem either, I just prefer it female, and there she is.
You can just customize her like i intend to do with Lucky Chloe.
The winning pose on the other hand is something you live with.

I wonder how the Marie Rose players handled her losing. Eeeeesh.

Maybe for him fighting is just business, don't take it personally.
Good games Numbatisa, Doomshine. Great back and forth matches, someone could say it was a set up, lol.
Also Doomshine patched in Claudio to TTT2.
Wha? How? I need vids
I am tempted to look but i feel like i am not ready for whatever it is.
You too guys. I am always in fear of the day you will pick Baek but you never do.
He did an almost exact custom with Miguel and turned him into Claudio.DEATH;157970503 said:

Those are the colors man... people are already using the troll colors:
So how would you explain the post by lupinko who has obviously played the game? Are you denying they use the exact same colour customization system that I have been talking about, the one you and sayah thought didn't make any sense? Come on.
@joey I already got that the different colors represent the different areas of the costume that can be customized. That doesn't mean that people aren't going to make hideous customs using those colors.
I'm not getting on the negativity bandwagon. Read my posts before all the recycled copy-paste customizations and egregious designs started coming out.

I want troll colours, but I don't have them yet. You only get stuff by getting lotto tickets which itself is random. Also with the recent update to tekken.net you can see how much experience points you get now. Besides gold and lotto tickets, you get experience points too.
And I don't know how colours are unlocked. :/

I'm afraid to pick characters against you that I didn't use for a while. It ends bad, lol.
I gotta take some rust of Baek before I start using him again. I'm still amazed how you can use every character just like that. Some kind of cyborg memory!
Oh yeah Doomshine's Claudio top tier already, and that's Pre T7.
Sure maybe you're right about the indicator... but that still doesn't change the fact that you can have those same obnoxious colors on the characters themselves as seen in the image above.
That's the core issue here indicator or not.

Thanks for this. Going to steal Lili if you don't mind.

They must have nerfed Devil Jin in some way. Maybe he doesn't have like WS+2 anymore? I say this because keep watching this video and I'm seeing DR Devil Jin all over again. They wouldn't be dumb enough to make the same mistake twice right?
I hope we get one new male character. Seeing that we have gotten 4 females (including Kazumi) and 2 males. But the big red guy will probably be a new character.
I just made it for the roster line-up.
All of you can take anyone you like.

Just let us Devil Jin players relive the glory days of full juggles off hellsweep

Half the time i am button mashing. You saw what i was doing with the capos. It was out of whack.
I usually remember combos mid match because of a vid i saw one time or another.
Baek i am always free to no matter who is using him.
Just like every other decision I've seen with T7... Just go with the mentality that this is Namco's game and they can do whatever they want with it and I have to simply deal with it.
EDIT: Whoa.... Jose is huge. I just realized she's like as tall as Miguel.... and of coarse a bust size rivaling Dead or Alive.
He looks like a princess walking on a red carpet.
Yeah. The things wrong with Josie Rizal:
- Her headband, nobody wears that kind.
- She speaks English, instead of Tagalog.
- She should be small, not tall.
- The breasts are ridiculous big.
But the costume itself is refreshing and bright, love that about her. Yet, nobody really wears that.
Seeing the Philippines stage in Tag 2 were so perfect, to this Filipino character missing the mark is sad, but I'll be content.
I hope they will listen to feedback since she is a work in progress, but I have a feeling they won't really change much.
She already has a CG panel. I don't think much is changing if anything.

Someone brought up a point elsewhere that worries me. Could this be offensive to Filipinos? Imagine if there was finally a black female character but her names Martina Luther King and was just some big breasted light skinned black chick in a bikini top and booty shorts with an afro? That would seem like it would piss a lot of people off. It's not to far off from this situation naming Josie after Jose Rizal, so I wonder if it could actually piss people off.
Josie Rizal was trending on twitter.
There hasn't been any uproar by Filipino fans.

Ok that's good.
This is basically who i wanted and you are talking about. Only missing the name. It depends on person to person what they find offensive.
And now I will beg for a Danish character. But the closest I'll ever get is probably Lars, and that's fine with me.
The closest Lars comes to representing anything Swedish is his name. Aside from that, it may as well be an honorary status.
Yeah, but he's Swedish. We can't do anything about it. =/
