>but plot armour will carry him
I would say this too before Tekken 6 but it kinda feels like their building him up as the next big bad villain character. I think the best way to go about continuing the story is by having Jin go on a complete power hungry rampage. He's already responsible for killing millions so I think him giving in to his devil side completely would be an interesting way to go since he seemed like the only one not tainted by evil for so many years and only wanted to prevent it for the future of his family's bloodline. It also leaves Kazuya in this weird position where now suddenly he's the lesser of two evils since he's never done anything as heinous as Jin even though he's tried. Not only would it push him back into the hero position which hasn't been seen since the first game but it would be a great way of giving him a proper comeback since he's never been able to beat Jin before. If they just continued with Jin bullshit where he beats everyone in his path like they've been doing for decades, it would be garbage storytelling. They would be doing the same old shit and eventually would have him be defeated by some homosexual character like Lars which no one wants. To instead go full circle and go the unpredictable route of having Kazuya kill Jin would be a more beautiful climax. While it's happening you can give Kazuya this internal struggle of him dealing with his inner darkness and the horrors he's faced by the hands of not only his father but now his son who's turning into an even worse version of his father. Tekken should be the tragic story of Kazuya and the downfall of his family. The future of Tekken should play into this and maybe people would actually care about the story again since clearly what they're doing now is not working out.
Now that’s a weird post, did you just ignore Tekken 7’s story completely? Sure Kazuya has been getting shilled a lot by Bamco lately but Tekken 7 was on point in showing Kazuya falling back into a the villain role again by the end of the story, while Jin went through whole thing as a remorseful atoned who had to pay for what he did in Tekken 6. The last scene in Tekken 7 is literally Jin promising to take Kazuya down as Lars, the closest heroic main character Tekken has a this point, agrees with him.
>but Tekken 7 was on point in showing Kazuya falling back into a the villain role again by the end of the story, while Jin went through whole thing as a remorseful atoned who had to pay for what he did in Tekken 6.
That's what I mean. This is a bad direction to go in since Jin is irredeemable and has caused more harm than any other character in the games. To be feel remorse and feel like Kazuya is the one that needs to be stopped is stupid because Jin is easily the the biggest scumbag who really needs to be stopped. We've already seen characters like Kazuya and Heihachi being taken down by Jin so you the audience never feel like they have an advantage yet we do feel this way about Jin since he's only ever shown dominance. You can't just start a war, feel bad, and then move back into the hero position. That's bad storytelling. Also the character of Lars is also just a shit idea too but they're also pushing him which is why I think the current direction is setting itself to fail more because who the frick wants to see the Mishima story end with Lars killing Jin. I think my direction is more poetic and does a better job of handling the the two leads as opposed to just going to predictable and shitty route of >Heihachi bad >Kazuya kills Heihachi >Kazuya bad >Jin kills Kazuya >Jin bad >Lars kills Jin
To put Kazuya in the MC position again to kill his own son who is now worse than he is after killing his father adds another layer of tragedy to his character and it's something no one really expects. It would show that they actually give a shit about him even after 5 games of treating his character like trash. To have him lose for the 100th does not provoke any sort of feeling towards the people who the play the games since this is how it's always been and to finally change that would be refreshing and clever.
I don't think Lars is a bad idea, just shitty execution. The Swedish bastard son of Heihachi that lacks the devil gene is a really cool concept but they shat the bed by just making him a generic member of Dir En Grey who speaks Japanese for no real reason.
The bastard son trope is overused and at this point is always just a last minute resort to add a new plot point to a game. Maybe if they hinted at this shit 5 or 6 games ago, it would be fine but the fact he came out of nowhere only further shows how lazy they are when it comes to writing. Plus he's a naruto character now so no matter what he's objectively uncool.

I love him tbh, I think this win outro won me over on him. He's "anime cool" but also kind of a goofball and I just really enjoy playing him.

For love of me, i cannot figure why Lars even exists as a character. And i don't even think Harada and the gang at Namco even know because all this guy is now is Jin's bodyguard simp.

In 6 it seemed like they where trying to set him up as the new hero after Jin literally starts fricking WWIII but the story was too moronic for him to fit so now he's just tagging along with Jin to kill Kazuya and everyone forgot about how Jin is literally Hitler.

I think they saw that each of the Mishima's we're basically the bad guy in some way (hehachi Mishima being hehachi, Kazyua becoming evil in 2, and Jin plunging the world into a forever world war) so they tried to make a "good" protagonist that was technically a Mishima. It didn't work out since people still liked the three main Mishimas too much

His entire existence was just Heihachi fricking some Swedish woman, probably after he dumped Kazuya off that cliff, to check to see if the Devil Gene was some sort of STD he may have contracted from Kazumi.

I can't hate him, he gives me sentai vibes, overly cool heroes doing flashy moves and such. His outfit in 7 was a huge upgrade.
It does feel a bit like they made him to be the good guy protag but to me he doesn't feel overbearing or anything, he's just a guy that also exists, a look at what Mishima's could be like without the devil gene. Granted I never played 6's story mode where he was the main character apparently.
anyone who does not play Tekken regardless of age would think they are brothers because they aren't good at aging Kazuya. He looks no older than he did 20 years younger. Not even a strand of grey hair.
>You mean in games like 3, the debut game where they stated Heihachi was Jin's grandfather?
That's why I said "anyone who does not play Tekken" so obviously they wouldn't have that information.

Who the frick is taking pot shots? I'm just stating a fact. People who don't know Tekken aren't going to know Kazuya and Jin are father and son. If they just pop into a thread out of curiosity which happens all the time, of course they are going to be shocked when they find out. Nobodies wrong about anything except for the one moron who assumed not knowing this makes someone a zoomer when in reality it's most people in general.

Nice cope. If you knew nothing about Tekken at all and saw an image with Jin and Kazuya, you tell me how anyone with common sense would come to the conclusion they are father and son when Kazuya looks no older than Jin. They both look like young adults so obviously to those not familiar with the franchise, they would assume they are siblings. It's not like you have obvious shit that distinguishes their age like Heihachi who's balding, has grey hair, and a wrinkly face. They're both youthful in their appearances.

She must continue the Mishima bloodline with Kazuya, which is probably the only logical explanation why he hired her.
Great aesthetics, but Tekken gays are crazy about the meta and Tekken 4 changed it too much for them so Tekken could never be as a experimental as 4 again.
Kazuya is can’t be killed at this point, his resurgence as THE face of Tekken has been too strong, Jin seemed to be pretty damn good a holding up as the true successor but in recent years Kazuya has been shilled hard by Bamco themselves.

Mime characters are falling out of style around Bandai Namco it seems, Soul Calibur 6 didn’t have any of the famous ones like Edge Master beyond the CaS characters.
Because DLC characters were probably going to be an ongoing after thought, and implementing more movesets with his model and coding would probably be a b***h.
I don't like it, but that's just my guess. I wish we had better gimmick characters (excluding vanilla characters in general) than the bears or maybe Gigas.
I dunno I never really compared them, haven't played Tekken for that long. But I'm pretty sure he's an original character. He does have some goofy moves but aside from being very chest-heavy and small-legged I see no similarities.
The only reason he didn't return is because Bamco thought it would confuse new players.
Imagine the shitshow that would ensue if people smurfed mokujin in low ranks.
>easiest character to implement
Namco doesn't wanna bother animating the rage arts and rage drives which is why tekken 7 on launch had far fewer legacy characters than previous tekken games
What if Mokujin had his own unique rageart and drive(u1+4 & u2+3, the item attack inputs, can't equip weapons). >tfw your character is better as mokujin
That or go full capeshit moronation and reveal he grabbed onto a rock at the last possible second and hid in Sweden to recover.
[...]
Can't be forgettable if Harada keeps stealing his movesets for more shitty replacements
It's going to be a flashback heihachi with black hair
Jun gays have been crying for her return so my guess is she'll appear in Tekken8.
>Jun appears and sucks Kazuyas dick turning him good. >Jin is super darkside evil at this point and has no control over devil side unlike Kazuya(t4 canon) >Kazuya loses G corp somehow or they are massively underpowered compared to before. >Jun and Kazuya lead a storyline crusade. Kazuya wants to kill Jin and Jun wants to save him. >all the "good guys" like Lars, Lee, Ling, Alisa, Raven try to stop le ebil Kazuya >climax of the story is a mountaintop fight like t1. Jin has killed a desperate to save him Jun which gives Kazuya the strength to beat Jin. He absorbs Jins devil power and carrys him toward the cliff edge but hears Juns voice. Drops Jin before thr cliff edge and then walks to it and steps off. >I suppose it should be a volcano so it's believable he's dies from this.
The fact Tekken is the best selling Namco franchise should’ve give you a hint. Tekken 7 turned 6 years old now, the next entry is definitely being talked about at Bandai Namco behind closed doors, in fact it should be in early stages of development, just like SF6 verifiably started development in 2019.

>3 boxers when Balrog was all they needed >Ibuki tagged with Rolento because ??? >Zangief tagged with Rufus because ??? >Fei tagged with Christie because ??? >Those two PS cats literally nobody gives a shit about, not even in Japan >Cole MacGrath
Don't forget that Capcom did the ultimate israelite by unveiling DLC characters in a promotional trailer months before the actual game even released.
by training hard, Tekken doesn’t place normal humans as inherently inferior to the super powered beings and androids; Paul used to be strong as frick as cruised Tekken 3 canonically, but fricked off before facing Ogre.
Heihachi is a human that descended from a clan of fighters that harnessed the power of lightning, the strongest human is currently Hwoarang but him losing his eye to a bomb was bs
Making Jin into a mass murderer just to lean harder into his whole anti-hero bullshit role is honestly the lamest fricking thing they ever did with the already horrific writing in this series. The more they try desperately to make him edgy, cool and distant the more cringey he becomes.
Reminder that Kazuya did absolutely and literally nothing wrong >Kills Heihachi, the source of pretty much all evil in the franchise >Avenges his mother >Opposes Jin's nonsensical war >Advances science and creates dinosaurs >Fights the 2D menace in order to keep Tekken honest >Sweet purple suit >Gave Paul a reason to fight. Look at how Paul's life turned to shit as soon as he stopped feuding with Kazuya
I'm glad Asuka didn't get dragged down by this devil shit. I'd much rather she get to be fun if goofy than be stuck with the main plot. Even for a fighting game this shit is moronic.
It's crazy how Kazuya is now more popular than Jin despite how massively popular Jin was 15 years ago. I guess the emo shit people liked when they were kids is something they eventually grow out of.
Kazuya accepts a challenge and makes a sport of shit, Jin is a tunnel visioned bore where his only highlights were the first two games he showed up in.
Jin's a Gary Stu, he never loses, never has to work. He just shows up and beats Ogre, Heihachi, Kazuya, Jinpachi and when that Korean dude won he had to then deal with Devil Jin.
Kazuya has taken L's, beat his father, then lost, went through years of experimentation all so he could take down his badass father in TK7.
Kazuya enjoys a good fight while Jin doesn't care about fighting at all. He's such a boring stale character compared to Kazuya.
I guess most of Jin's fans left him when he did that moronic plan to start WW3. Also what the frick were the writers thinking with that timespan from 5 to 7? >Ending of 4/Intro to 5 was stated to be a few months ago during the cutscene, meaning the events from 5 to 7 must be under a year >Jin probably became the CEO of the Zaibatsu in less than a month, and probably started his plans for ww3 in a couple of weeks to a month at best.
The Tekken team really don't want to age up their characters for whatever reason, which is why the time gap between 5 to 7 is so short. Maybe that's about to change since Lei in Tekken 7 looks a bit older compared to his previous counterparts but we'll see.
People will search for him tho. doesn't matter what you read on reddit or Ganker.

They are preparing to introduce zoomers to Jin, since he will clearly be the eighth game’s main character
Heihachi appeared in the most games. We're talking PS All Stars, Soul Calibur 2, and even Smash as a cameo. both him and Kazuya appear in the Fist of the North Star mobile game and Smash
In this post I will explain why Kazuyagays hate Jin. First let’s see the games Kazuya are the protagonist: T1 and T4. These are about two of the worse games in the series. The only games that were decent with Kazuya focus on it were T2 and T7 and he’s the antagonist there.
Let’s see the games Jin is the protagonist: T3, TTT, T4 (shared MC spot with Kazuya) and T5, pretty much the golden age of Tekken sans 4 but it’s clear that sharing the protagonist spot with Kazuya fricked that game. So yeah, games starring Jin are much better than the ones starring Kazuya so there’s that.
Now are the canon feats of each character. >Kazuya manages to barely win against his dad and win the tournament in T1 >Kazuya jobs to his dad in T2 >Jin defeats True Ogre and becomes the winner of T3 tournament >Kazuya returns with his unlocked potential in T4, only to job to his son’s base form after he learned some new karate moves, who proceeds to pawn his grandfather after that >Jin defeats Jinpachi and wins T5 tournament, Kazuya does nothing >Jin lures out and defeats Azazel with his (admittedly stupid) plan in T6, Kazuya does nothing >Kazuya finally defeats his dad with his demonic powers in T7 and Jin wakes up in the end, clearly shown to take the protagonist spot in T8
So yeah, Jin pretty much wins against everyone and Kazuya is the literal Bejita of fighting games with a similar fanbase, asshurt will be glorious when Kazuya jobs to Jin again in T8.
>In this post I will explain why Kazuyagays hate Jin. First let’s see the games Kazuya are the protagonist: T1 and T4.
Holy shit I don't know if you fricked up or are just moronic but because of this I'm not going to read your literal drivel of a paragraph if you can't even get the first two sentence right. Try again in another thread.
Kazuya is not the protagonist of Tekken 4 you dumbfrick. He is the main character of Tekken 1 and Tekken 7 only. Maybe pay attention instead of b***hing about which fictional character you like more you child
>Kazuya is the literal Bejita
Does that make Heihachi his Psychopathku? >If I throw my son off a cliff, he'll probably survive and try to challenge me to a one on one fight to the death one day! I'm getting excited!
No Heihachi was all along a dindu peace loving man that did everything (including what you said) to end the demon blood now.
Even locking his father in his basement.
>he'll probably survive and try to challenge me to a one on one fight to the death one day! I'm getting excited! >scene that women will never understand.jpg
>OP character who is badly written is good because he wins against mistreated character
I mean this is objectively not a good thing but I guess it doesn't matter when we all know who truly won in the end. What matters most even beyond the plot of the franchise is who is immortalized and will be remembered for decades to come.
>What matters most even beyond the plot of the franchise is who is immortalized and will be remembered for decades to come.
Facts. Ryu, Terry, Kazuya have suffered countless loses in their stories. But none of that bullcrap matters at the end of the day. Jin could go onto killing Thanos and people will still pay more attention to Kazuya buying sneakers.
Terry is canonically a winner. The dude won the KOF tournament multiple times by himself, defeated all of his enemies. The only time he's ever loss at all was to Rock and even then you can argue that he allowed him to win since Terry gains nothing from pummeling his boy whereas Rock needs to win in order to get further into finding out the secrets of his mother. Terry just rides off into the sunset with Blue Mary but eventually wins KOF again since he's the reigning champion in NEOGEO Battle Coliseum.
I was talking about KOF where Terry gets his ass beat in every tournament. He never wins, he shows up, loses then grabs a few drinks with his jobber friends.
KOF is not canon though. I mean it has it's own canon I guess but it doesn't matter since it's not his universe. Also SNK doesn't ever seem to push the narrative of him ever losing. Even when they adapted KOF 94 for an anime, they specifically made it so he doesn't lose. Even they don't seem comfortable with the idea of him jobbing to anyone.
>Ryu instead of Chun Li >Terry instead of Kyo >Kazuya instead of Jin
I appreciate Sakurai's understanding and significance of these characters as well as the franchises they come from when he easily could have fricked everything up by making the wrong decisions.
>Ken instead of Chun Li
Fixed. Sakurai could've easily killed two birds with one stone by pouring all the remaining time and resources into the chink instead Incineroar and not bother with Ken.
Eh, Sakurai is right about picking Terry though. I like Kyo but Terry is the SNK mascot and he has better mass appeal to western audience than Kyo. Kyo is entertaining but he is offensive to sensitive snowflakes.
>Or maybe would he would've been a lot harder to implemented?
not really.
His old projectile move would be his special
Rekka is a side special similar to how Marth works
That gay spinny fire thing he does would be the shoryuken
down special is that wheel kick thing he does
He won 94-97, XIII and XIV tournaments with his teams, killed a god or two but you will say it doesn't count lmao. And being a literal moron is part of his charm.

His team was the canon winner of the Rugal-Orochi saga and he was the one dealing the final touch to seal Orochi with his sacred treasure. His winnings of XIII and XIV (manga) can be argued but you are trying hard to downplay him here. Even in 2001 true ending he was the one along with Iori and the other two protagonists of NESTS saga taking down the big bad because of his own revenge.

Funny how you can't even say the most popular anymore. Kazuya is by far the most recognized character outside of Heihachi as of now. >Kazuya hasn’t been written well in anything other than T2.
both him and Jin have been poorly written for almost decades now. >Lol truly the Bejita and Bejitagays of the fighting games.
I guess Ryu is the Vegeta of his game too.
Also I don't understand the DBZ comparison when Vegeta has canonically defeated Goku in the last movie that came out.
>Not the protagonist of T4
He clearly shares that spot with Jin in that game, why do you try so hard to deny this? >Only the protagonists of T1 and T7
I after with you in 1. But he’s the antagonist to Heihachi’s protagonist in T7. Almost everything is told from Hei’s PoV except the kid flashback and he’s protrayed to be more good than Kazuya in the game. It’s basically T2 but Kazuya wins this time.
Why does everyone want or even remotely think heihachi will come back as a robot? Kazuya/G Corporation hates him, The Zaibatsu's is spiralling to it's downfall, Kuma's hardly a genius, and Doctor Bosconovitch is best friends with Yoshi/The Manji Clan who in-turn hate the Mishimas.

Anyone else think this was probably the worse DLC pick they could have chosen? Like seriously, an obscure character from a shitty comic/TV show no one really gave a frick about?
this is the 2nd stupidest crossover not only in tekken but in history of fighting games, I say 2nd due to soul calibur having fricking vader and yoda.
I can't believe we got this shithead instead of literally any character from previous tekkens, hell I'd rather have another SF or KoF crossover than this. lamest shit I've ever seen
here's hoping that harada spent all his bullshit meter on T7 so new tekken won't have such moronic guest characters, or better yet, any at all.

Other characters >Claudio uses Xiaoyu to bait Jin, off course it ends up failing >Armor King loses to Marduk who becomes the next AK, King and AK Marduk will fight Fack >Yoshimitsu will fight both of Bryan and Kunimitsu, Yoshi win through a duper new sword >Paul might get finally better or get even worse >Several characters might will fight Jack-8 made to defend Kazuya >Bruce and Anna will be defeated offscreen by Lei and Nina once again >Leroy and Lidia casually whoops an army of soldiers to show how strong they are >Asuka beats Feng through the power of friendship >Most characters plots will be about fighting against G Corporations or silly comic relief stories
Dlc's >characters like Kiryu or Tifa
etc.
Here’s my predictions about the story >Jin and Kazuya fight >Kazuya loses again, Jin is about to kill him >Ghost Jun appears, tells them about the ocean or whatever >They stop fighting >Some evil alien is asspulled to the story, reason for Hachiko clan bullshit >Jin and Kazuya decide to team up to defeat big bad alium >They defeat him, father/son wavedash is used on the final boss >Kazuya sacrifices himself to defeat this foe >Shitty Sasuke/Sakura or Eren/Mikasa romance happens between Jin and Xaiyou >Epilogue >Paul gets a shitty gag scene >The End >Boruto spinoff announced a la Tekken Next Generations
Lars,Alisa,Lee fight fodder minions
Ling is damsel in distress for Jin to rescue
Yuribait with Like and Asuja
Everyone else gets dumb gag scenes like Paul
Kazuya >Jin having a gay power of friendship vibe with Lee, Alisa, Lars and probably Xiaoyu despite murdering half of humanity to get rid of the devil gene instead of hiring a fricking exorcist. >Kazuya being propped up as 8's main villain as he's invading nations for literally no reason at all.
why the frick did they make Kazuya lose T4 tournament?
the correct order of events is
Kazuya beats Heihachi
Heihachi takes him to Jin
Kazuya knocks down Heihachi
Kazuya wakes up Jin
Jin beats Kazuya
Jin beats Heihachi
Kazuya’s story and Jin (the official, what I described abobe) are identical except that Jin beats Kazuya instead of the other way around
If Heihachi beats Kazuya the all that happens is Kazuya gets captured just like Jin
Kazuya in 1 was almost equal to Heihachi and won thanks to a little devil gene boost, in 2 he had already surpassed him but was corrupted as a result which led Jun and Angel to destabilize him to the point a stronger Heihachi could beat him
After losing half of the devil gene and being dropped in the volcano and revitalized, Kazuya was obliviously weaker than he was in 2 and was used a guinea pig for G Corporation and fought with weaker Heihachi clones, which was not really that much of a training since he was a test subject
Heihachi trained properly as he taught many people at his school, including Jin, Xiaoyu, a bear, a panda, etc.
Which is why Heihachi was stronger than Kazuya in 4 that was until Kazuya united his power with of the Gene and thus surpassing him, still no match for Jin
In 6, Base Kazuya fought Lars who in turn matched a not fully powered Jin, meanwhile Heihachi was training and not ready to take on Kazuya
After ending his training, Heihachi managed to catch up to a stronger Kazuya as well fight his strongest form with his full power
you’re approaching from a lore standpoint, my issue is with the sequence of events shown in Heihachi’s, Kazuya’s and Jin’s endings, one can only conclude that Kazuya beat Heihachi
Tekken 8 will end the Mishima family saga by Jun provoking and engaging a threesome between her, Jin and Kazuya, strengthening their family bonds and them finally living happily ever after.
Jin killed 1/3 of humanity because reasons.
Redemption incoming. RIP.
Of course, not before he left his seed in Ling or Asuka. Maybe both of them, who knows.
I want to say homosexual jin but plot armour will carry him
>but plot armour will carry him
I would say this too before Tekken 6 but it kinda feels like their building him up as the next big bad villain character. I think the best way to go about continuing the story is by having Jin go on a complete power hungry rampage. He's already responsible for killing millions so I think him giving in to his devil side completely would be an interesting way to go since he seemed like the only one not tainted by evil for so many years and only wanted to prevent it for the future of his family's bloodline. It also leaves Kazuya in this weird position where now suddenly he's the lesser of two evils since he's never done anything as heinous as Jin even though he's tried. Not only would it push him back into the hero position which hasn't been seen since the first game but it would be a great way of giving him a proper comeback since he's never been able to beat Jin before. If they just continued with Jin bullshit where he beats everyone in his path like they've been doing for decades, it would be garbage storytelling. They would be doing the same old shit and eventually would have him be defeated by some homosexual character like Lars which no one wants. To instead go full circle and go the unpredictable route of having Kazuya kill Jin would be a more beautiful climax. While it's happening you can give Kazuya this internal struggle of him dealing with his inner darkness and the horrors he's faced by the hands of not only his father but now his son who's turning into an even worse version of his father. Tekken should be the tragic story of Kazuya and the downfall of his family. The future of Tekken should play into this and maybe people would actually care about the story again since clearly what they're doing now is not working out.
Now that’s a weird post, did you just ignore Tekken 7’s story completely? Sure Kazuya has been getting shilled a lot by Bamco lately but Tekken 7 was on point in showing Kazuya falling back into a the villain role again by the end of the story, while Jin went through whole thing as a remorseful atoned who had to pay for what he did in Tekken 6. The last scene in Tekken 7 is literally Jin promising to take Kazuya down as Lars, the closest heroic main character Tekken has a this point, agrees with him.
>but Tekken 7 was on point in showing Kazuya falling back into a the villain role again by the end of the story, while Jin went through whole thing as a remorseful atoned who had to pay for what he did in Tekken 6.
That's what I mean. This is a bad direction to go in since Jin is irredeemable and has caused more harm than any other character in the games. To be feel remorse and feel like Kazuya is the one that needs to be stopped is stupid because Jin is easily the the biggest scumbag who really needs to be stopped. We've already seen characters like Kazuya and Heihachi being taken down by Jin so you the audience never feel like they have an advantage yet we do feel this way about Jin since he's only ever shown dominance. You can't just start a war, feel bad, and then move back into the hero position. That's bad storytelling. Also the character of Lars is also just a shit idea too but they're also pushing him which is why I think the current direction is setting itself to fail more because who the frick wants to see the Mishima story end with Lars killing Jin. I think my direction is more poetic and does a better job of handling the the two leads as opposed to just going to predictable and shitty route of
>Heihachi bad
>Kazuya kills Heihachi
>Kazuya bad
>Jin kills Kazuya
>Jin bad
>Lars kills Jin
To put Kazuya in the MC position again to kill his own son who is now worse than he is after killing his father adds another layer of tragedy to his character and it's something no one really expects. It would show that they actually give a shit about him even after 5 games of treating his character like trash. To have him lose for the 100th does not provoke any sort of feeling towards the people who the play the games since this is how it's always been and to finally change that would be refreshing and clever.
I don't think Lars is a bad idea, just shitty execution. The Swedish bastard son of Heihachi that lacks the devil gene is a really cool concept but they shat the bed by just making him a generic member of Dir En Grey who speaks Japanese for no real reason.
The bastard son trope is overused and at this point is always just a last minute resort to add a new plot point to a game. Maybe if they hinted at this shit 5 or 6 games ago, it would be fine but the fact he came out of nowhere only further shows how lazy they are when it comes to writing. Plus he's a naruto character now so no matter what he's objectively uncool.
I love him tbh, I think this win outro won me over on him. He's "anime cool" but also kind of a goofball and I just really enjoy playing him.
For love of me, i cannot figure why Lars even exists as a character. And i don't even think Harada and the gang at Namco even know because all this guy is now is Jin's bodyguard simp.
In 6 it seemed like they where trying to set him up as the new hero after Jin literally starts fricking WWIII but the story was too moronic for him to fit so now he's just tagging along with Jin to kill Kazuya and everyone forgot about how Jin is literally Hitler.
I think they saw that each of the Mishima's we're basically the bad guy in some way (hehachi Mishima being hehachi, Kazyua becoming evil in 2, and Jin plunging the world into a forever world war) so they tried to make a "good" protagonist that was technically a Mishima. It didn't work out since people still liked the three main Mishimas too much
His entire existence was just Heihachi fricking some Swedish woman, probably after he dumped Kazuya off that cliff, to check to see if the Devil Gene was some sort of STD he may have contracted from Kazumi.
I can't hate him, he gives me sentai vibes, overly cool heroes doing flashy moves and such. His outfit in 7 was a huge upgrade.
It does feel a bit like they made him to be the good guy protag but to me he doesn't feel overbearing or anything, he's just a guy that also exists, a look at what Mishima's could be like without the devil gene. Granted I never played 6's story mode where he was the main character apparently.

still has 3 times the player base according to steamdb

>trusting Harada’s bots
>bots
Back to /fgg/ cap cuck.
We're discussing tekken, not a tranime fighter.
Probably Kazuya, but only if his VA dies.
All these years I thought they were brothers
they aren't?
Kazuya is Jin's dad.
holyshit
Fricking zoomer morons
suck my wiener homosexual, i could probably still wash your ass in 3 and 5
anyone who does not play Tekken regardless of age would think they are brothers because they aren't good at aging Kazuya. He looks no older than he did 20 years younger. Not even a strand of grey hair.
>anyone who does not play tekken
You mean in games like 3, the debut game where they stated Heihachi was Jin's grandfather?
>You mean in games like 3, the debut game where they stated Heihachi was Jin's grandfather?
That's why I said "anyone who does not play Tekken" so obviously they wouldn't have that information.
why would you be in a tekken thread, take pot shots, and be surprised you're fricking wrong?
>why would you be in a tekken thread, take pot shots
Who the frick is taking pot shots? I'm just stating a fact. People who don't know Tekken aren't going to know Kazuya and Jin are father and son. If they just pop into a thread out of curiosity which happens all the time, of course they are going to be shocked when they find out. Nobodies wrong about anything except for the one moron who assumed not knowing this makes someone a zoomer when in reality it's most people in general.
>i'm a moron
>everyone else must be a moron
lol, lmao
>everyone else must be a moron
Nice cope. If you knew nothing about Tekken at all and saw an image with Jin and Kazuya, you tell me how anyone with common sense would come to the conclusion they are father and son when Kazuya looks no older than Jin. They both look like young adults so obviously to those not familiar with the franchise, they would assume they are siblings. It's not like you have obvious shit that distinguishes their age like Heihachi who's balding, has grey hair, and a wrinkly face. They're both youthful in their appearances.
yeah I can see how someone would see Kaz as an older brother rather than someone who's 20+ years older
yeah it's weird seeing people take things so seriously on the internet innit? how is everything not a literal thing is beyond me.
Kazuya literally looks maybe 4 years older, like an older brother who got all the shit dealt from his family vs. the younger brother who got to live comfortably in his shadow
go play tekken 1-5 right now and stop talking to me until you complete King's octo-grab
you can play a video game and give zero fricks about its story
Lol wait up bro, kazuya is in his 40s? Legit thought he was a rich college student who became a CEO or some shit
IIRC Lee is also pushing early-mid 40s.
Dumb zoomer
He's old enough to be my dad lmao
underage b&
underage
lol fricking Tekken lore
I don't get it. It's the mishima family and Kasumi is this Heihachi's wife so her last name is swapped for his husbands last name Mishima.
It is, Kazumi doesn't have a canonical formal name, what don't you understand?
>Kazumi Hachikō
>Kazumi Hachikō Mishima
She's fricking dead regardless, Hopefully Lucky Chloe dies on her way to tekken 8
>Hopefully Lucky Chloe dies on her way to tekken 8
She must continue the Mishima bloodline with Kazuya, which is probably the only logical explanation why he hired her.
>Kazuya
Kazuya already had a son and he turned out to be autistic.
Jin will continue the Mishima bloodline with his sister
>with his sister
So it’s Kazuya’s turn to star revealing new bastard children no knew he ever had before.
it's already unbelievable enough that kazuya had sex once
>t.Lee
Most kino entry
This game had such a vibe
First Tekken I owned and always stuck with me
WELCOME. TO THE KING OF IRON FIST TOURNAMENT 4
Great aesthetics, but Tekken gays are crazy about the meta and Tekken 4 changed it too much for them so Tekken could never be as a experimental as 4 again.
Best music, stages, new characters, and atmosphere

Kazuya is actually the jap's favorite Tekken character, surpassing Heihachi.
Weird, Japs usually have shit taste. I was certain they'd prefer Jin.
IIRC Devil Jin/Jin are big in Pak.
Yeah, not sure why, japs usually like homosexual goody-two-shoes but somehow the polls have Kazuya first.
>Jin
>goody two shoes
He’s fricking everything up lol
>Jin goody-two-shows
>Liking edgy is somehow better
Also Jin is not goody-two-shoes.
you gays know nothing about jap tastes
Kiryu was a homosexual goody-two-shoes, don't kid yourself.
Why are you posting the "goodest boy" yakuza ever made?
get that weak b***h out of here, enter the real Dragon of Dojima.
>Black Panther console remake by tekken devs never ever
Like everywhere else...they used to until they completely fricked his character up.
Heiachi only died just because his VA died.
His latest VA died in 2018, Tekken 7’s console release with the story mode was in 2017.
Kazuya is can’t be killed at this point, his resurgence as THE face of Tekken has been too strong, Jin seemed to be pretty damn good a holding up as the true successor but in recent years Kazuya has been shilled hard by Bamco themselves.
Kazuya is simply the better character.
my favorite character has been dead for years
all that remains is a schizo hobo looking for aliens
Tekken 4 was the last time most of the characters had an actual story and personality. After that, everyone got turned into a joke or sideshow.
Also, Soul Calibur and Bloody Roar are way better than Tekken.
Shit, I wish BR comes back.

So tekken 3 all over again? I wouldn't mind another tekken 3, it's literally the best tekken game. Only zoomers would disagree
but it's only the best game due to gameplay, not story.
>due to gameplay
Not even in gameplay. Tekken 7 is tekken perfected. How did you even find an unbalanced game fun to play?
>How did you even find an unbalanced game fun to play?

Why is he not in Tekken 7? Wouldn't he literally have been the easiest character to implement?
Mime characters are falling out of style around Bandai Namco it seems, Soul Calibur 6 didn’t have any of the famous ones like Edge Master beyond the CaS characters.
weird since they are literal copy-pastes.
Because DLC characters were probably going to be an ongoing after thought, and implementing more movesets with his model and coding would probably be a b***h.
I don't like it, but that's just my guess. I wish we had better gimmick characters (excluding vanilla characters in general) than the bears or maybe Gigas.
Gigas is a gimmick character?
Isn't he just free to play Marduk at this point? Even after the team stated Legacy characters were not going to be DLC?
I dunno I never really compared them, haven't played Tekken for that long. But I'm pretty sure he's an original character. He does have some goofy moves but aside from being very chest-heavy and small-legged I see no similarities.
He's literally Marduk, in terms of lore and gameplay.
He's OC but has a handful of Marduks moves as Marduk wasn't going to be in the base lineup. Same as Josie, lucky chloe.
They don't want you to play DLC movesets for free.
The only reason he didn't return is because Bamco thought it would confuse new players.
Imagine the shitshow that would ensue if people smurfed mokujin in low ranks.
>easiest character to implement
Namco doesn't wanna bother animating the rage arts and rage drives which is why tekken 7 on launch had far fewer legacy characters than previous tekken games
What if Mokujin had his own unique rageart and drive(u1+4 & u2+3, the item attack inputs, can't equip weapons).
>tfw your character is better as mokujin
>Who dies next
silly of you to think they won't bullshit Heihachi back.
He's just gonna reincarnate as a "manifestation of pure evil" or some shit isn't he
That or go full capeshit moronation and reveal he grabbed onto a rock at the last possible second and hid in Sweden to recover.
Can't be forgettable if Harada keeps stealing his movesets for more shitty replacements
It's going to be a flashback heihachi with black hair
I would actually love that, he looks so goofy
just make him a non-canon joke character
yeah, jinpachi style
They want T8 to be final so if Heihachi comes back it'll probably be as a robot or memory like Kazumi.
>They want T8 to be final
According to who?
I suppose I read it somewhere on the internet like a twit. I'm certain I saw it somewhere. Probably here in the same fashion.
He's gonna come back as some sort of Ogre mutant from that Ogre DNA from 4
Name a more forgettable character
Alex, Gon, Angel, Jun and the Rogers, and Gon.
i can't because i literally forgot
Shaheen
i cant
Quincy, Alex, Shaheen, Lars, and Miguel.
>Quincy

The blue guy with the quincy bow.
He’s not forgettable to me because in the animated movie he jobs out in the greatest way to Jack after breaking his hand on him
your mom
Will Jin finally lose his virginity with Asuka in T8 or is he going to die a virgin?
absolutely not.
They dropped the incest route for tsundere yuri
Jun gays have been crying for her return so my guess is she'll appear in Tekken8.
>Jun appears and sucks Kazuyas dick turning him good.
>Jin is super darkside evil at this point and has no control over devil side unlike Kazuya(t4 canon)
>Kazuya loses G corp somehow or they are massively underpowered compared to before.
>Jun and Kazuya lead a storyline crusade. Kazuya wants to kill Jin and Jun wants to save him.
>all the "good guys" like Lars, Lee, Ling, Alisa, Raven try to stop le ebil Kazuya
>climax of the story is a mountaintop fight like t1. Jin has killed a desperate to save him Jun which gives Kazuya the strength to beat Jin. He absorbs Jins devil power and carrys him toward the cliff edge but hears Juns voice. Drops Jin before thr cliff edge and then walks to it and steps off.
>I suppose it should be a volcano so it's believable he's dies from this.
How sure can we be that Tekken 8 is in active development?
The fact Tekken is the best selling Namco franchise should’ve give you a hint. Tekken 7 turned 6 years old now, the next entry is definitely being talked about at Bandai Namco behind closed doors, in fact it should be in early stages of development, just like SF6 verifiably started development in 2019.
They can't really kill Kaz because he's the Ryu of Tekken
Wasn't this the most notoriously unbalanced high-profile Fighting Game ever? I wasn't into fighting games back then so I never really looked into it
Don't know but it is an incredibly fun game.

Frick off.
Don't forget that Capcom did the ultimate israelite by unveiling DLC characters in a promotional trailer months before the actual game even released.
explain to me lorewise how heihachi with no devil gene or whatever can keep up with the devil homosexuals?
his karate is just that good
by training hard, Tekken doesn’t place normal humans as inherently inferior to the super powered beings and androids; Paul used to be strong as frick as cruised Tekken 3 canonically, but fricked off before facing Ogre.
Paul canonically beat Ogre. He fricked off before True Ogre woke up. Jin beat true ogre and went devil
Heihachi is a human that descended from a clan of fighters that harnessed the power of lightning, the strongest human is currently Hwoarang but him losing his eye to a bomb was bs
Making Jin into a mass murderer just to lean harder into his whole anti-hero bullshit role is honestly the lamest fricking thing they ever did with the already horrific writing in this series. The more they try desperately to make him edgy, cool and distant the more cringey he becomes.
Dude...it was the trend in the 00s
Reminder that Kazuya did absolutely and literally nothing wrong

>Fights the 2D menace in order to keep Tekken honest

How are they going to utilize xiaoyu in T8 plot? It's pretty clear that asuka is now irrelevant since lili was introduced.
>Now
Asuka was always irrelevant.
Asuka's probably dealing with living with Lili who has brought over her vampire sister over
I'm glad Asuka didn't get dragged down by this devil shit. I'd much rather she get to be fun if goofy than be stuck with the main plot. Even for a fighting game this shit is moronic.
This. Even King’s arc is better written than the main story
Thinking about getting Tekken 6 again for its campaign tekken forces thing. I remember I had a good time with it. Should I?
ILL BE THAT DEVIL
This guy will never be popular and relevant no matter how many times someone posts a meme with him in it.
Getting major Dark Syde Phil dejavu from 2008.
It's crazy how Kazuya is now more popular than Jin despite how massively popular Jin was 15 years ago. I guess the emo shit people liked when they were kids is something they eventually grow out of.
Kazuya accepts a challenge and makes a sport of shit, Jin is a tunnel visioned bore where his only highlights were the first two games he showed up in.
Kazuya is alpha as frick.
Jin's a Gary Stu, he never loses, never has to work. He just shows up and beats Ogre, Heihachi, Kazuya, Jinpachi and when that Korean dude won he had to then deal with Devil Jin.
Kazuya has taken L's, beat his father, then lost, went through years of experimentation all so he could take down his badass father in TK7.
Kazuya enjoys a good fight while Jin doesn't care about fighting at all. He's such a boring stale character compared to Kazuya.
I guess most of Jin's fans left him when he did that moronic plan to start WW3. Also what the frick were the writers thinking with that timespan from 5 to 7?
>Ending of 4/Intro to 5 was stated to be a few months ago during the cutscene, meaning the events from 5 to 7 must be under a year
>Jin probably became the CEO of the Zaibatsu in less than a month, and probably started his plans for ww3 in a couple of weeks to a month at best.
The Tekken team really don't want to age up their characters for whatever reason, which is why the time gap between 5 to 7 is so short. Maybe that's about to change since Lei in Tekken 7 looks a bit older compared to his previous counterparts but we'll see.
>Lei is allowed to be a cool old guy but Law just gets morphed into some weird unaging hybrid of his son and himself
Ageing males is fine. Problem is that you gotta age the females at the same time and Lili just isn't as tight if she's 18
Jin's still the fan favorite according to popularity polls.
It's because Tekken 3 was the introduction to the series for most people. My parents don't even know who Kazuya is but they recognize Jin.
I don't know about these random polls but nowadays Kazuya trends more
That's because of Smash
He is also more popular in Tekken 7.
Nobody, not even his mains, cared about his inclusion in Smash at all.
People will search for him tho. doesn't matter what you read on reddit or Ganker.
Just telling you like it is. Smash pedos hate every traditional FG character in the game after Ryu because anymore ruins their deranged "genre rep" philosophy and Kazuyagays are Tekken fanatics.
majority of smash players are casuals. and they will search about the new DLC. take a step back and asses reality
The search result spike came from his reveal. He's also one of the biggest tournament characters, arguably the best character in the game
Heihachi was always the most entertaining Mishima. Kazuya is ok. Frick Jin.
Kazuya is the edgy fricks choice so don't pretend anything else kazuyacuck.
the true patrician choice is Heihachi
>proving my point
Anna is hotter than Nina
They're bringing Heihachi back next game, stop being moronic. I bet you think M. Bison is dead forever too
Tekken should end with Paul vs Kazyua
They even downgraded Jin in the upcoming anime so it seems they can't get anything right with the character anymore
Jin is not going to die. He is a mascot mary sue of Tekken
Heihachi is literally mascot and Kazuya is the Ryu
So is it Kazuya or Heihachi who has been in most crossover games/events?
jin
Nah no way
has movie and cgi anime about him
this homosexual is tekken most important character
and now netflix anime as well
This was such a shit idea to have it take place between 2 and 3. They should have just started from the beginning when the story was still at it's best and continue there. The show looks awful with it's bad character designs, desaturated art style, cheap animation, and use of CGI for action sequences because their too cheap to be consistent.
Heihachi will have 3rd voice actor now..
They are preparing to introduce zoomers to Jin, since he will clearly be the eighth game’s main character
so does Kazuya and technically Heihachi
>Heihachi catching a thrown axe with his teeth.
I had almost forgotten that.
this looks fun, was it good?
no but it's fun.
It's not one of the better fighting adaptions. For that I'd recommend Fatal Fury or Street Fighter II. Even Darkstalkers is of a higher quality.
Unless you are a Jun/Kazuya shipper, no
Heihachi appeared in the most games. We're talking PS All Stars, Soul Calibur 2, and even Smash as a cameo. both him and Kazuya appear in the Fist of the North Star mobile game and Smash
Jin will lose and his mommy will show up to beat Kazuya for him.
In this post I will explain why Kazuyagays hate Jin. First let’s see the games Kazuya are the protagonist: T1 and T4. These are about two of the worse games in the series. The only games that were decent with Kazuya focus on it were T2 and T7 and he’s the antagonist there.
Let’s see the games Jin is the protagonist: T3, TTT, T4 (shared MC spot with Kazuya) and T5, pretty much the golden age of Tekken sans 4 but it’s clear that sharing the protagonist spot with Kazuya fricked that game. So yeah, games starring Jin are much better than the ones starring Kazuya so there’s that.
Now are the canon feats of each character.
>Kazuya manages to barely win against his dad and win the tournament in T1
>Kazuya jobs to his dad in T2
>Jin defeats True Ogre and becomes the winner of T3 tournament
>Kazuya returns with his unlocked potential in T4, only to job to his son’s base form after he learned some new karate moves, who proceeds to pawn his grandfather after that
>Jin defeats Jinpachi and wins T5 tournament, Kazuya does nothing
>Jin lures out and defeats Azazel with his (admittedly stupid) plan in T6, Kazuya does nothing
>Kazuya finally defeats his dad with his demonic powers in T7 and Jin wakes up in the end, clearly shown to take the protagonist spot in T8
So yeah, Jin pretty much wins against everyone and Kazuya is the literal Bejita of fighting games with a similar fanbase, asshurt will be glorious when Kazuya jobs to Jin again in T8.
>In this post I will explain why Kazuyagays hate Jin. First let’s see the games Kazuya are the protagonist: T1 and T4.
Holy shit I don't know if you fricked up or are just moronic but because of this I'm not going to read your literal drivel of a paragraph if you can't even get the first two sentence right. Try again in another thread.
Cope Kazuyagetagay
Lmao try proofreading, you illiterate. Play less games and educate yourself.
Nothing is wrong about what I said, the only games Kazuya is the MC are T1 and T4, care to refute me, Jobzuyasister?
Kazuya is not the protagonist of Tekken 4 you dumbfrick. He is the main character of Tekken 1 and Tekken 7 only. Maybe pay attention instead of b***hing about which fictional character you like more you child
>Kazuya is the literal Bejita
Does that make Heihachi his Psychopathku?
>If I throw my son off a cliff, he'll probably survive and try to challenge me to a one on one fight to the death one day! I'm getting excited!
No Heihachi was all along a dindu peace loving man that did everything (including what you said) to end the demon blood now.
Even locking his father in his basement.
>I'm getting excited!
>SUGEEEEEE KAZUYA-KUN, I HEARD YOUR DEVIL FORM IS PRETTY STRONG
>HEHEHEEE, SASUGA KAZUYA-KUN. YOU'VE BEEN DOING SOME SECRET TRAINING WHILE I WAS AWAY HUH?

Tekken 7 is the best selling game in the franchise and you can't change that. Cope.
Heihachi is the protagonist of that game
>OP character who is badly written is good because he wins against mistreated character
I mean this is objectively not a good thing but I guess it doesn't matter when we all know who truly won in the end. What matters most even beyond the plot of the franchise is who is immortalized and will be remembered for decades to come.
>What matters most even beyond the plot of the franchise is who is immortalized and will be remembered for decades to come.
Facts. Ryu, Terry, Kazuya have suffered countless loses in their stories. But none of that bullcrap matters at the end of the day. Jin could go onto killing Thanos and people will still pay more attention to Kazuya buying sneakers.
Terry is canonically a winner. The dude won the KOF tournament multiple times by himself, defeated all of his enemies. The only time he's ever loss at all was to Rock and even then you can argue that he allowed him to win since Terry gains nothing from pummeling his boy whereas Rock needs to win in order to get further into finding out the secrets of his mother. Terry just rides off into the sunset with Blue Mary but eventually wins KOF again since he's the reigning champion in NEOGEO Battle Coliseum.
I was talking about KOF where Terry gets his ass beat in every tournament. He never wins, he shows up, loses then grabs a few drinks with his jobber friends.
KOF is not canon though. I mean it has it's own canon I guess but it doesn't matter since it's not his universe. Also SNK doesn't ever seem to push the narrative of him ever losing. Even when they adapted KOF 94 for an anime, they specifically made it so he doesn't lose. Even they don't seem comfortable with the idea of him jobbing to anyone.
>Ryu instead of Chun Li
>Terry instead of Kyo
>Kazuya instead of Jin
I appreciate Sakurai's understanding and significance of these characters as well as the franchises they come from when he easily could have fricked everything up by making the wrong decisions.
>Ken instead of Chun Li
Fixed. Sakurai could've easily killed two birds with one stone by pouring all the remaining time and resources into the chink instead Incineroar and not bother with Ken.
Eh, Sakurai is right about picking Terry though. I like Kyo but Terry is the SNK mascot and he has better mass appeal to western audience than Kyo. Kyo is entertaining but he is offensive to sensitive snowflakes.
I don't think he's saying it's wrong to pick Terry over Kyo. Choosing Ken over Chun-Li is wrong no matter how you twist it.
Ken is Ryu's rival and Ken looks foreign enough to please the western fanbase. I think Sakurai made the right choices all things considered.
>Ken is Ryu's rival
Ryu has many rivals. Sagat was also in SF1 so you can't even use the "Ken came first" excuse. He got over Chun-Li for being a pallet swap.
Sagat was more a boss character that became playable in subsequent entries. SF always plays up the rivalry of Ryu and Ken
>. Choosing Ken over Chun-Li is wrong no matter how you twist it.
There there, waifugay. You already have Min-Min to play with it.
>but he is offensive to sensitive snowflakes.
Or maybe would he would've been a lot harder to implemented?
>Choosing Ken over Chun-Li is wrong no matter how you twist it.
Still seething eh?
No I mean burning opponents and doing this in front of children and manchildren
Jokes aside, he is very arrogant in his taunts and win quotes and that's not a good representative for a niche company in the US
>he is very arrogant in his taunts and win quotes
You do know Kazuya's in the game, right?
Let's just say Terry is a good choice for good boys and girls.
>Or maybe would he would've been a lot harder to implemented?
not really.
His old projectile move would be his special
Rekka is a side special similar to how Marth works
That gay spinny fire thing he does would be the shoryuken
down special is that wheel kick thing he does
and everything else falls in line
>Kyo is entertaining but he is offensive to sensitive snowflakes.
Kyo is a literal moron who loses all the time in his own games
He won 94-97, XIII and XIV tournaments with his teams, killed a god or two but you will say it doesn't count lmao. And being a literal moron is part of his charm.
>XIV
No he didn't, Shun ei's team won that game. He lost to Shun ei which I think devalues all of his other wins personally.
>killed a god or two but you will say it doesn't count lmao.
No it counts except his team defeated the likes of Orochi. I'm not trying to diminish his accomplishments. What I'm saying is he's a moron and has failed more than any other fighting game MC.
His team was the canon winner of the Rugal-Orochi saga and he was the one dealing the final touch to seal Orochi with his sacred treasure. His winnings of XIII and XIV (manga) can be argued but you are trying hard to downplay him here. Even in 2001 true ending he was the one along with Iori and the other two protagonists of NESTS saga taking down the big bad because of his own revenge.
We get it, Kyo has done a lot.. with the help of others.
Yeah funny to see such an arrogant guy having friends and a stalker right? I like that they changed his moveset completely in '96 and provided the lore for it as well.
Jin is still very popular.
Kazuya hasn’t been written well in anything other than T2.
>Mistreated character
Lol truly the Bejita and Bejitagays of the fighting games.
>Jin is still very popular.
Funny how you can't even say the most popular anymore. Kazuya is by far the most recognized character outside of Heihachi as of now.
>Kazuya hasn’t been written well in anything other than T2.
both him and Jin have been poorly written for almost decades now.
>Lol truly the Bejita and Bejitagays of the fighting games.
I guess Ryu is the Vegeta of his game too.
Also I don't understand the DBZ comparison when Vegeta has canonically defeated Goku in the last movie that came out.
I would kill for a new Fatal Fury and from the looks of it, that might be happening.
I'm still amazed they had the balls to make this Heihachi's main costume in 4
>Not the protagonist of T4
He clearly shares that spot with Jin in that game, why do you try so hard to deny this?
>Only the protagonists of T1 and T7
I after with you in 1. But he’s the antagonist to Heihachi’s protagonist in T7. Almost everything is told from Hei’s PoV except the kid flashback and he’s protrayed to be more good than Kazuya in the game. It’s basically T2 but Kazuya wins this time.
homie who are you tagging
Kill Jin, make kazuma sad that his son is dead and make him the butthole hero again
Kazuya*
Ok, so Kazuya becomes the hero against whom?
Uhhhhhhh, king and Armor king have a butt baby who is evil
Heihachi comes back and kills everyone with devil gene
*Heihachi comes back and straps everyone to a rocket
I miss this guy. He was my favorite character.
How come? To me he looks like a very by the books "we need an old asian dude who knows martial arts in our roster"
Self-contained pokes with adequate power. It's classy.
The bromance with Jinpachi and him was sweet.
Will he ever return, bros?
Literal glow Black person.
Frick Kazuya and frick Jim
Robo Heihachi will kill them both in 8
Why does everyone want or even remotely think heihachi will come back as a robot? Kazuya/G Corporation hates him, The Zaibatsu's is spiralling to it's downfall, Kuma's hardly a genius, and Doctor Bosconovitch is best friends with Yoshi/The Manji Clan who in-turn hate the Mishimas.
I just like his moveset and Heihachi is super dead, so he won’t be in 8 unless he comes back as a robot or zombie
Or Kuma gets his old moveset, id be fine with that too
Who has the biggest dick and why is it probably Lars? He's the only man with Mishima blood that is not fully effected by Asian small dick syndrome.
Anon, you start a discussion about dicks because you love dicks that much huh?
everyone is interested in the dicks of other people especially those of celebrity and fiction.
>everyone is interested in the dicks of other people
>of other people
Compensation am I right?
>tekken 8 story focuses on roger
>roger gets seperated from roo babby and has to fight to get it back
>entire tekken cast helps him out in a heartwarming journey
oh wait tekken fans would rather fight doctor evil and fap to nina williams
Anyone else think this was probably the worse DLC pick they could have chosen? Like seriously, an obscure character from a shitty comic/TV show no one really gave a frick about?
I hope you got your shitting pants on
"We want the manchild audience"
It definitely set the bar in the wrong fricking direction. They should have had more fighting game crossovers instead of DEAD SHOW villain turned hero
The FF K-pop reject is in the same game, moron.
Agreed he doesn't fit, but man is it fun to beat tryhard homosexuals into paste with a fricking bat. Enjoy my 45 second outro frick face.
He fits in the game more than Nomura's tranime character.
this is the 2nd stupidest crossover not only in tekken but in history of fighting games, I say 2nd due to soul calibur having fricking vader and yoda.
I can't believe we got this shithead instead of literally any character from previous tekkens, hell I'd rather have another SF or KoF crossover than this. lamest shit I've ever seen
here's hoping that harada spent all his bullshit meter on T7 so new tekken won't have such moronic guest characters, or better yet, any at all.
Tekken 7 is the worst Tekken game since Tekken 3 release. I haven't played 1 and 2 much.
Awful soundtrack
Awful aestetics
No arcade endings
Also forgot how ugly it looks on UE4. Looks worse than TTT2 and T6 overall.
HOT AF
The series went to shit with 5 so i will tell you what's likely gonna happen
Main Story
>Akuma might be not be in it, but that doesn't mean he was killed by Kazuya
>a Robot with Heihachi's soul inside, another clone of Ogre, Azazel 2.0 that will burst out of Zafina as well Jun and Angel will all join in the final battle between Jin and Kazuya, Lars Alisa Hwoarang and Lee will try to assist Jin
>all the damage on earth will be magically fixed once Jin kills Kazuya alongside Ogre, Azazel and Robo-Heihachi, Angel departs and Jun alongside everyone will forgive him
>Kazuya will send his devil soul to himself of the past and starting a REBOOT with the soul warning Kazuya of the future
Other characters
>Claudio uses Xiaoyu to bait Jin, off course it ends up failing
>Armor King loses to Marduk who becomes the next AK, King and AK Marduk will fight Fack
>Yoshimitsu will fight both of Bryan and Kunimitsu, Yoshi win through a duper new sword
>Paul might get finally better or get even worse
>Several characters might will fight Jack-8 made to defend Kazuya
>Bruce and Anna will be defeated offscreen by Lei and Nina once again
>Leroy and Lidia casually whoops an army of soldiers to show how strong they are
>Asuka beats Feng through the power of friendship
>Most characters plots will be about fighting against G Corporations or silly comic relief stories
Dlc's
>characters like Kiryu or Tifa
etc.
>Kiryu
Keep that cuck out of Tekken
>Tifa
This isn't Dissidia. Besides, Noctis will be first on the chopping block anyway.
jesus christ please proofread your posts
Should we expect Tekken 8 announcement at EVO this year? Or they will wait until TGA?
Hopefully they're done with the whole Mishima storyline, it's so dogshit
Jun will come back and have them make peace.
POST TEKKEN 8 GUEST CHARACTERS
Dump him in Virtua Fighter instead
tekken or street fighter, i don't care at this point
good call, i would fricking shit if they actually did it
He would fit better in Mortal Kombat
>tfw Legend Revive has better guest characters than T7's.
Why did we get Final Feces before Baki the Grappler?
>here's your Negan replacement bro
Roger Jr. might be fricked from coming back due to Peta
But there's another way
>PETA is okay with a literal endangered species being a fighter or a hunted species
?
>Peta
When was the last time anyone took those furgays seriously?
Beating up female characters in ranked gives a boner. There's a suprisingly low amount of people playing females though, shame.
>literally spreads her legs while fighting and kicking ass
It was another time...
Since everyone is busy with Xiao and Asuka, i'll be taking her, too bad most of her 2D Art is fricking bad...
I never knew who these were until Smash. I only played Tekken in a videogame convention
Does anyone want to play Tekken?
Who are more mentally unhinged? Asukagays or Xiaoyugays?
Asukagays because Asuka was made for me.
>One is made up by incestgays who'll never touch any other women besides their moms
>The other is comprised of typical Jin self-inserters
Here’s my predictions about the story
>Jin and Kazuya fight
>Kazuya loses again, Jin is about to kill him
>Ghost Jun appears, tells them about the ocean or whatever
>They stop fighting
>Some evil alien is asspulled to the story, reason for Hachiko clan bullshit
>Jin and Kazuya decide to team up to defeat big bad alium
>They defeat him, father/son wavedash is used on the final boss
>Kazuya sacrifices himself to defeat this foe
>Shitty Sasuke/Sakura or Eren/Mikasa romance happens between Jin and Xaiyou
>Epilogue
>Paul gets a shitty gag scene
>The End
>Boruto spinoff announced a la Tekken Next Generations
What about the other characters?
Lars,Alisa,Lee fight fodder minions
Ling is damsel in distress for Jin to rescue
Yuribait with Like and Asuja
Everyone else gets dumb gag scenes like Paul
>*is the canonical ending to the Tekken series in your path*
The later games are fan fiction
Kazuya, you'd be an idiot to believe otherwise considering that Jin has never to a Mishima and has already beaten kazuya once
Kazuya
>Jin having a gay power of friendship vibe with Lee, Alisa, Lars and probably Xiaoyu despite murdering half of humanity to get rid of the devil gene instead of hiring a fricking exorcist.
>Kazuya being propped up as 8's main villain as he's invading nations for literally no reason at all.
Kazuya. Its natural
Jin will become evil after and someone will knock him out.
but the mishima family are way too fricking popular to remove so there will be some BS way to include them.
They won't kill Kazuya, he's the most popular Tekken character.
They already killed him off and brought him back cause he's that popular.
i always wanted to look like jin as a kid
why the frick did they make Kazuya lose T4 tournament?
the correct order of events is
Kazuya beats Heihachi
Heihachi takes him to Jin
Kazuya knocks down Heihachi
Kazuya wakes up Jin
Jin beats Kazuya
Jin beats Heihachi
Kazuya’s story and Jin (the official, what I described abobe) are identical except that Jin beats Kazuya instead of the other way around
If Heihachi beats Kazuya the all that happens is Kazuya gets captured just like Jin
Kazuya beating Heihachi makes much more sense
it's just Harada retconning Tekken 4 because he has a boner for Heihachi
Kazuya in 1 was almost equal to Heihachi and won thanks to a little devil gene boost, in 2 he had already surpassed him but was corrupted as a result which led Jun and Angel to destabilize him to the point a stronger Heihachi could beat him
After losing half of the devil gene and being dropped in the volcano and revitalized, Kazuya was obliviously weaker than he was in 2 and was used a guinea pig for G Corporation and fought with weaker Heihachi clones, which was not really that much of a training since he was a test subject
Heihachi trained properly as he taught many people at his school, including Jin, Xiaoyu, a bear, a panda, etc.
Which is why Heihachi was stronger than Kazuya in 4 that was until Kazuya united his power with of the Gene and thus surpassing him, still no match for Jin
In 6, Base Kazuya fought Lars who in turn matched a not fully powered Jin, meanwhile Heihachi was training and not ready to take on Kazuya
After ending his training, Heihachi managed to catch up to a stronger Kazuya as well fight his strongest form with his full power
you’re approaching from a lore standpoint, my issue is with the sequence of events shown in Heihachi’s, Kazuya’s and Jin’s endings, one can only conclude that Kazuya beat Heihachi
Tekken 8 will end the Mishima family saga by Jun provoking and engaging a threesome between her, Jin and Kazuya, strengthening their family bonds and them finally living happily ever after.
Does anyone want to play Tekken.
Lloyd Irving ofc
To be replaced by Floyd Irving (flop + Lloyd), of course
I swear the render for this almost makes it look like a fricked up toy that actually exists somewhere
He also looks almost edible.
no anna no buy
Jin killed 1/3 of humanity because reasons.
Redemption incoming. RIP.
Of course, not before he left his seed in Ling or Asuka. Maybe both of them, who knows.
