The thing that I've got mostly from Tekken 7 is that game has been built and marketed solely for the needs of the Japanese audience.

Lucky Chloe, the huge delay in the console version, the removal of Lei, Bowling and idol costumes and now FF characters all seem like things that would go over in Japan far better than elsewhere.

It really does feel like Tekken fans in the west have been an afterthought with every decision in this game.

I've talked with a couple of JP players before, I don't think it's fair to take the heat off Harada and any jackass above him at Namco who most likely signed off on a lot of the dumb shyt with 7. LC is one the least used characters in the arcades and is not that liked, although they're not as disgusted by her as we are. They're also not big fans of the roster cuts since Japanese players are known for being character specialists. Ranca, Tetsuo, and Furumizu were very popular Lei users, and he was used frequently in tournaments. The JP players who look forward to Tekken's console releases are not happy about having an empty, incomplete product with retarded roster decisions and crappy DLC either.

I totally forgot about Soul Calibur, the sword user's indeed would make a sensible appearance on Soul Calibur rather than Tekken. Is Soul Calibur gonna make a return or what?

Theres a 'leak' floating around that a new Soul Calibur will be revealed at playstation experience, which is sometime early December. We'll see.

Yeah I really meant that these decisions are being made at the corporate level, to better sell in the Japanese market.

I very much doubt hardcore JP or Korean Tekken players would be down for this shyt either. These are very much causal facing initiatives.

JDCR has traveled all over the world winning everything all year, with little resistance but lost to 1 guy in the tournaments they both entered. He was a lock to win TWT but that 1 guy took him out again. Qudans is a Tekken Lord :wow: rooting for him to take it all but Saint is no joke either

If this gets more people to play tekken competively tekken players should be begging for guest characters

I'm glad as hell I didn't buy the season pass. Total waste of money. I'll get Geese separately and that'll be wrap for me as far as DLC.
yeah i was waiting on a sale. gold costumes and the swimsuits, don't care. bowling, don't care. Noctis, don't care. I do want the stages and maybe some other content will come out with Noctis so hopefully psn has a good black friday/cyber monday sale and includes the pass

I personally didn't buy it, but the old lady did. She isn't even into gaming like that, just loved tekken from a kid. She hated akuma, Eliza and wasn't too happy about geese. She wants lei and Christie back, fukk all this nonsense.
