Claudio looks boring as fukk.
Tekken got away with it before unlike Street Fighter when they killed off Kazuya and created a new generation of fighters in Tekken 3. Tekken 3 was successful because the new characters were innovative and weren't cheap knock offs of replaced characters. Namco also kept the most popular characters from Tekken 2 around and aged them. Street Fighter 3 threw all the characters from 2 into the bushes and made knock offs like Remy, Necro, Twelve, etc, and tried to make a wrestler the main character.
Namco will definitely keep the most popular characters around and have the others show up in endings as mentors, trainers, etc.
Virtua Fighter probably has the most boring character cast in any successful fighting games. And they had to make the one black character Jeffry a semi retarded Sambo

Either way, if this the end of Tekken (PLEASE don't be) it was a FUN fukking ride
I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed here, i know is on cam but the graphics are last gen status and the gameplay looks to be the same since tekken 4...
When Tekken 6 showed off its first demo, it looked barely above PS2 graphics.
Hopefully Tekken 7 tones down on juggling and revamp its roster. I want it to be a Tekken 3-like vibe where you saw a bunch of new fighters with (actual) fighting styles around the world.
I agree...
Coming from tekken 2 to tekken 3 was crazy, so many new styles and new innovations on the same style(Baek,Hwaraong)
I don't remember the juggling being as crazy is it is now in 3, which to me was the pinnacle.
they been saying its only at 50% of its graphical capability. they just throwing it out there for feedback on the mechanicsI gotta say I'm a bit disappointed here, i know is on cam but the graphics are last gen status and the gameplay looks to be the same since tekken 4...
Tekken Bowl was fuvking awesomeThat is what Tekken 7 needs. A bunch of new, interesting fighters that can carry the franchise (if) the end of the Mishimas are near. We also need to tone down juggles and focus more on ground combos.
What makes it interesting is that Jin really is dead
Also, I love time release characters of Tekken 1-5. Adds replayability.
Add new modes similar to Tekken Ball, Bowl, Tekken Force, and the like.
