I think new characters get a bad rap. Leroy sucks but Jin sucks for the same reasons with the strings and parrys. Anytime they're -6 they can parry ( don't know how quickly the parry activate but roughly). I think Jim is as bad balance wise as leroy. HMM calls Katerina stance and gameplay eaay, if Harri er wasn't alright he would be saying she was terrible like gigas. I'm kinda saying that somethings work and don't work in tekken and sometimes the community agrees on 1 thing but doesn't agree on essentially the same issues with another character
My point with Katerina is that if she was DLC and her stance works everyone would call for nerfs and if harrier can be dickjabbed everyone would be calling for buffs on harrier. I don't know if harrier is any good but my point stands either way, the D LC gets different treatment
"Katarina looks like a Big Brother contestant" Nailed it. Also I used to say she looks like your cool aunt who finally got her vacation away from the kids.
Only kazumi akuma , geese and dlc(Leroy Lidia negan maybe fahk ) character are cool Lucky Chloe is fun but ehh I have seen memes about she is wearing jacket over BDSM costume lol Gigas is bland intresting playstyle tho Shaheen is boring like they did zafina which was better in design and gameplay lol Josie the only cool thing is her season 1 rage art and even that was a copy lol Katarina literally looks like a average Joe lol Maven why the og raven was so much cooler Claudio sure eh Who else is there eliza she's fine lol I can't even think of new character and definetly forgetting few ones
The problem with bob is what they wanted to do in t6 vs what we got Their concept was a sammo hung inspired character that had no problem with being overweight and works around that What we got was an obese american who is a stereotype for fat people and plays like mishima for some reason even though he is a tribute to a chinese kung fu master when it comes to his personality its just about speed and weight
Dude. Are you high or something? This completely useless blob of wasted roster space, with no personality to speak off, no proper storyline except for "Beat bad guys = Me hero, everyone admires me now" and simply being a blatant rip off (if that even means anything, because both are equally as pointless) of Street Fighter's Rufus, is a "good character"? If we have reached this level of acceptance for standards to call THIS "good character design"... you seriously need help. There is simply no point to how he looks. There is no punchline, there is nothing clever or witty about it, no likeable personality to actually make the joke more impactful and actually educational to a degree, like making him actually self-aware that his life style should NOT be replicated by anyone, otherwise you may day later on from diabetus or something, no. Fucking. NOTHING. So as far as I am concerned, this character is completely pointless and all he does is just inadvertently promoting unhealthy habits for people that may already be in a similar situation as him... except that they can't move around like freaking chimpanses, unlike him. And before you are even thinking about calling me overly sensitive about this and I am only overreacting over a freaking fighting game character, where fighting matters more than story and character design for the general appeal (yeah, who freaking needs that, right? *Sarcasm, by the way*), due to the fact that this character has NOTHING distinct about him, no proper point to him even existing, or hell, even having any moral values for us to learn about, this character feels more like a joke at the expense of the audience, not laughing WITH them, but rather, AT them. It's incredibly condescending the way it was handled and "Haha, you're fat" humor is like the unfunniest thing you can possibly do with a character like that. So predictable.
I think it’s interesting how bob breaks the fat character stereotype you see in other fighting games. Slow, stupid, gross and grotesque but hits like a truck. Pretty sure that’s what they were going for with him and i respect that
Exactly his point. He's a completely different take on fat characters. Respect TMM in other regards, but uneducated opinions like this are honestly disappointing.
Make Bob dlc and give him the option of being Fat Bob or Slim Bob. Slight changes on movelist, damage, movement and rage abilities. Would be an interesting dynamic between Bob/Slim Bob.
Honestly, I want Raven (male ver.) to come back. I could’ve played him simply cause of the look. Yes, style is the same with Master Raven but I simply can’t stand her
Why the hell the game doesn't have pallet swaps I don't know. It surely wouldn't be too difficult to have OG Raven and Master Raven occupy the same character slot. Same with Bruce and Josie, same with Eddie and Christie, same with both the bears. I couldn't care less if they had identical hit-boxes and the exact same moves/data.
Totally agree, I don't play Raven but he was always a great addition to me. I appreciate having a black female character but it could have been someone else. At least give us a palette swap with the same moves
I disagree with Bob, he's definitely not like Rufus who's presented as a total slob, while Bob is presented in a more dignified way in his lore. I think he'll stay since he has a playstyle that is very Mishima-like. As Aris recently said, he's a different flavor of the Mishima playstyle, like how Sagat is a shoto like Ryu but different enough.
Bob has literally no personality and is a joke character. His entire premise is "speed and weight". His gameplay is literally an easy mode mishima, no identity of his own aside from easy mishima with evasion, which is boring as fuck. We have enough popular mishima likes, we have like Armor King who's awesome, we have Jin who has mishima stuff but is different in his own way, same for Kazumi. He is a joke, they just were too cowardly to actually make fun of the joke, which is even worse than just making him an idiot like Rufus or Birdie.
Love you SWE and respect your gangsta, but Bob needs to stay. As a long time Bob player, gameplay wise he is a solid mishima-like. And like someone said in the comments, he's not like Rufus who is just a slob. He has a solid backstory and hes a great character, comic-relief or not.
Sorry mate, but at least Rufus's obnoxiousness is played for fun. Bob's half-baked edgy-weeb-like personality is meant to be taken seriously like half the shit he does isn't plain ridiculous.
If gigas' default clothes were the egyptian ones ( preset 6 ) he couldve been more interesting and his backstory couldve been that he protected the tomb of azazel and was awaken when he was defeated or something. Just soooo many things he couldve done to make it better. I actually play gigas but only if its preset 6 otherwise im like " what a useless bland character"
@@bugthesdaguy1316 yea and i hate how everyone uses op chars but im using gigas and say im bad lol use him please and get to my rank oh wait you cant!!!
I'd bump Marshall for Forrest Law and give him a new look and add some prankster like elements to his style. This way not only did we bring back his son, but he also has more of his own identity sprinkled into his JKD so he wouldn't feel like a total dad clone.
I mean I love law he’s been my main since I’ve started playing back in 2013 but I’ve been screaming for forest law to be in the game but having both of them in the game would be cool too because you’ll have two different styles of jeet Kun do I you’ll have law more traditional style like Bruce lee but have forest more tricky style
@@iimduu9287 Marshall is getting pretty old along with Paul but Paul's style doesn't require as much athleticism or flexibility as Law's so this would be a good reason to bring back Forrest, to help his dad out with his debts and to prove to his dad that he CAN fend for himself.
its a useless swap, since marshal law is just tekkens version of bruce lee. Forrest is also an easy mode watered down version of marshal in prior games since no DSS cancel. You basicaly gain nothing by swaping them.
@@BustedHax I'm talking lore-wise not character mainability mamón. Plus just give his better tools to Forrest along with some new gimmicks for the kid and boom, fresh take on a classic. Besides let's keep it a stack: does it really mean anything to still be a direct Bruce Lee homage anymore? Ain't nobody gonna lose any sleep over a JKD with some new tools and a new look. Real talk.
Feel like a lot more than 5 characters are gonna be cut from 8. I hope all the new original dlc characters and the ones that got newfound popularity like kunimitsu stay .
bro the moment they gave josie that annoying crying thing and bland happy/positive personality, she already lost lmao. also they need to really differentiate her moveset from looking like just a variation of muay thai and give her some fighting sticks or something
I think gigas should be given dedicated high and mid parries that are extremely rewarding to make him less of a sitting duck than he is. Like one goes into goliath stance and you're massively plus, and the other they hit you and recoil and you get a free overkill throw or a true +12 frames or something like that. Also getting rid of most of the marduk influence but keep 1 or 2 moves. I would also give him a low from goliath that is massively plus and resets the goliath rushdown, it would be fairly damaging and only -10 or -11. I think these changes would make gigas really fun for a lot more people and make his gameplay really unique. Lucky chloe I would have her inputs change entirely to be very intricate. She would have mixups in her pressure by changing the button route and giving some buttons different timing than other. It would be like actually playing a DDR game in tekken. Also give her some annoying trolly ass ground attack or throw that stomps on them, and give her some more king like set up stuff. I think the characters that should be removed are the characters who have little potential to ever have a unique interesting gameplay, like shaheen in my personal opinion.
Outside of generic design, Katarina does have good motivations to be in the game and are tied to Gigas. Who turns out to be her stepfather who disappeared and was at some point turned into the B.O.W. Gigas by G Corp. That for me is interesting enough. But yes the try-hard "look at how sexy I am" thing is unnecessary.
Bob isn't bland gameplay wise. He's hella fun and beautifully animated. He just looks so fucking stupid. Like you can be fat but muscular, look at strongmen. They all have bellies but they're solid with huge traps. He should gain muscle for 8 since he's all about power
I honestly believe Leroy will make it back and Fahkumram won't. This comes from someone who loves the weight and impact of Ram's moves and is partial to the big, scary design. Leroy's design is just too cool.
Josie is fine.. just needs to be retuned and give her a better personality. Just wished they didn't make her so close to bruce. Cuz I want bruce back but will be hard cuz fahkuram is blocking that slot. BOB??? Man bob is super popular and his Gameplay and style is interesting. Love the diverse aspect of putting a big boy in a game that's quick and hits like a train..bruh u buggin!!
Josie should be removed so that we can have fahkumram Vs Bruce.. Bruce has more similarities with Josie than Fahkumram, you know important things like CD 3, df4 mix ups etc.. I like fahkumram, I just wish he had some just frame moves... Josie is not even that popular so Brice actually could return instead of her in t8
@@JustAnte9557 that would be the only way if bruce were to come back..Josie can leave then.. I just don't enjoy fahkuram. Character design is nice it's just not authentic being he a big muay thai character like sagat.
@@therealmccoy2004 I just think that some fahkumram moves are too badass.. The animation of bf4 is so satisfying even on block, also 3+4, [43], b23, df3, the 4,4 counter etc
Bob's popularity is so overwhelming that there is 33 characters that are more popular than him. Remove this piece of shit character, there's more fucking Jack players and Gigas players than Bob players, it is impressive actually.
Josie if fine yes, i mean her gameplay is cool. But her personality is like... eh.. dumb. i don't know why Japan is so afraid of badass female fighters. they just make dumb lookin' girls , generic girls. just for the dudes to fap to
I think Josies character development could be interesting. She’s so fragile and scary and boom, trains to be tough and hardcore. Models doing physical activities aren’t that uncommon either, so I think that was an interesting choice. I think that there’s a char for everyone in this game and Josie does represent a demographic. Kat, the bears, shaheen (oh, shaheen) Chloe, and gigas can definitely exit
@@Vaygon that’s what I’m saying. A character development would do her so good. I like how she’s so different. Most of the main cast is cocky and arrogant. Seeing her become a badass fighter would be nice. I also want to see them work with shaheen
Yeah man. They should deepen his story with Jin like when he fought Jin and lost because of the devil form and he still swears vengeance and searches and old legend to acquire the strength of "el diablo" then he'll have diablo-form or somethibg and it becomes devil vs diablo which is pretty redundant, but I'm sure Harada-san can make a better story XD
So for Lucky Chloe I think you could actually do something interesting with the Jpop/Kpop idol thing. Dont get me wrong, I hate her and her design and I would also immediately remove her from the game but the dancing fighter approach could be interesting. Like have her dance an actual choreography in her combos. Or let her have stance transitions like Lydia where she goes from one iconic KPop/Jpop music pose to another, stuff that fans of these music genres would recognize. I still wouldnt play her but I think stuff like this could make the character at least more unique. And on a personal note, it always hurts me when someone shits on Leo. I get that Leos movelist doesnt look interesting but to be honest there is a lot of cool stuff that you can do with the character. Leo has a surprising amount of hidden moves and cancels that are not in the movelist. I also think the design itself is extremely underrated. Leo is a perfect character for everyone just like they intended and a beginner character done right ( something the Tekken 7 newcomers have failed to do in my opinion ). Leo has all the tools you need in order to learn every aspect of the game. Stances, cancels, crouch dash mixups, a ton of parrys with different inputs and applications and so muc more. Her movelist offers a lot for new players to learn and the more advanced players can go for some high execution stuff with her KNK cancels or all the other shit the character can do. So while I understand that not many like or play her, I think if you dive deeper into what you can do with the character and reflect on the design intentions and how they pulled it off, she is a very well designed character in my opinion. Seeing a Leo expert go crazy is so cool to watch.
@@EddieMorphling Yeah honestly she's one of those who should be cut off from the main roster of T8 and be DLC. Much like how Zafina was in Season 3 and the Tekken team had all the time in the world to make her even more interesting with the Azazel lore and attacks.
@@Lugent25 eddy has been in tekken for almost 25 years all the side throws that chloe has belong to him. they literally copied and pasted them on to a character that was supposed to replace him but didn’t
@@AzarathX. No moves belongs to anyone, since they have reclycled certain moves for other characters as well like Asuka's parry I think Nina has done as well, My point is Eddy is no better than Chloe, and if you're gonna complain about her, do the same to him, since they both play similiar with Eddy being more busted while Chloe is much more easier to defeat but that's just me.
Agreed with the list except for Bob (even though i don't play him). Really hoping we'd eventually get characters with martial arts like pencak silat from indonesia & Krav Maga from israel in tekken 8
as a middle eastern a 100 agree with the shaheen situation. his design is like they googled '' middle eastren man'' and found the first stock image. The voice acting is trash also.
Wait so one of your reasons to not like Josie is because you don't find a believable that a model can fight Yeah Kazuya being a devil is very believable
This is just one point that is not very convincing but taken that she has no motivation to be there, her personality and more just lets to think why bruce was replaced yet again for something very generic If josie would actually be more interesting overall then she would not be on a list like this
13:24 just give her machete! According to her lore, her fighting style specializes in eskrima and kickboxing. Eskrima is martial art, which emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives, bladed weapons, and various improvised weapons, as well as "open hand" techniques without weapons.
3:01 and that people is why i never told many people about my interest in Kpop back in the days. Ive listened to kpop long before the big boom in my country and i knew that people would react negatively
@@hdbngrscrew I don't think that's a problem Unlike Panda and Kuma the Mishima family is the most important one in the whole game And every Mishima is different
Considering Tekken 8 could bring back actual story elements to each character, I think they could bring Shaheen to life. I would replace him with Josie.
You're giving the writers too much credit, pal. There are cool characters who haven't got anything going for them for a very long time. I don't see how they could make Shahin less bland than he is now. And they're too afraid to offend the community anyway. I'd like to be proven wrong, of course. But right now I'm not holding my breath.
@@chrisrockett5897 No slim bob was a string bean, I would say seth rogan at his fattest or like a chunkier Eric Jacobus that guy is flippy as f**k and he's a little thick.
@@narik6408 1.He already does sport karate stuff but he also does a bunch of random sh*t like a backflip punch and a roll butt bounce which I think are unappealing and take away from the character. His usage rate suggests agreeance. 2. So does streetfighter: Ryu, Ken, Dan, Sakura, Makoto, Akuma and that doesn't include Ryu's master or Sean/Allen. No to mention calling those tekken characters simply karate fighters is overly simplistic. Jin-kyokushin, Kaz/Hei-fictional quasi 2d Mishima do, Lidia-Shotokan, Lee-JKD Shooto Box karate mix, DJ-Mishima Do on crack, and Paul-American Karate/kick box/ bill superfoot wallace/Joe lewis style. What you don't have is ISKA/Gym Kata/flippy style of karate which Bob already somewhat covers, albeit in a slightly ugly jokey way.
Bruce is in his mid 50's, if we take logic into consideration Fahkumram will straight up whoop Bruce the way Ugas beat Pacquiao. Bruce is an old vet but Fahk is much younger and still in his prime and.. well, just LOOK AT THE GUY!
@@jonnymaldonado5974 interesting as i didn't think about 🧐 how old is Heihachi? If they tone down Fahk to more reasonable proportions, then Bruce should still have better chances than Lucky Chloe in beating him 😅
You realism argument of women not looking like a real-life fighter is rather strange. Especially that you play a character that literally turns into a devil and shoot laser beams - I am pretty sure MMA fighters never do that.
Hes not talking about what special powers the characters have, but how they look and what background they give, if you look at kazuya ( the character he plays ) , the guy is muscular and is wearing martial arts fighting clothes and gives off a serious vibe, if you look at the characters he complains about they dont give off any fighting vibe, the reason he likes lidia is because she has some muscle definition and some vibe going for her unlike the characters he was complaining about.
@@slimeyanimal7800 he is talking about how it is realistic or not. Like when he talks about Josie he questions how feasible it is to have such tiny limbs and be a fighter. So the argument is about realism. Therefore it is valid to point out how realistic it is to transform into a devil and shoot laser beams.
I think the reason Shaheen has such a boring movests and story is that they didnt want to offend Arabs by making him do weird and unique moves. They played it very safe
I guess that's good way of looking at it and it would've probably cost them more if they had some scholar/expert to explain what they could and couldn't do. I just wish they made him more regal like a prince or something.
@@bambieboybaboy5359 they did work with experts on his design but maybe not on his moveset Hopefully in Tekken 8 they can remove moves that other characters have and give him more unique ones...maybe a movie with the classic Arab eagle who knows
I just think Bamco is lazy af and wanted to just give their ME community a shoutout. A very beginner friendly character, most of their new characters are pretty stale and have no real compelling motivations/goals, that's what the real root issue is with tekken in terms of character design.
Less Launchers more ground game imo would make the game feel like two people are playing the damn thing, Instead of seeing 2 players fight over a juggler simulater
@@guidoc5772 this is hot take but I prefer T Revolution style over T7 since Revolution focused more on the ground game just take out the invincible red move and we're set for a ride.
Actually TMM Josie's lore was that her home was destroyed by a storm and she had to train in kickboxing and join the tournament to gain the money to fix her village. However, based her on design, in game personality, and story you never knew that(Did you know Josie was actually becoming a Tekken Force Member?). Katrina was actually supposed to be a badass bounty hunter(Who also lost her parents and become an orphan), again never would have known, they should've just went the full cowgirl western design with her. Hell all the newcomers should have gotten the Tekken 4 treatment lmao. That way just like in Tekken 4 they would have felt like real people and be given depth.
idk about christie, baek and maybe bruce (because of fahkumram). i think theyre just a waste of a character slot because of their same moveset ( mostly i guess) from existing characters
I agree on everything else EXCEPT Bob. I’m not a Bob player but it’s cool having a big phat guy martial artist who moves like he’s half his weight. If he was like how you described eating a burger and slop like I wouldn’t like him at all and no one would
Almost all new Tekken 7 Chars were just plain boring. Simply because there was no good Story behind it. Josie is nice and the Mishima Waifu. Gigas is a bad character by design, but absolutly fun to play.I like Alisa and Lars simply because I liked the story mode in Tekken 6. Bob was always just a meme char, I agree on removing him. I think Leo and Miguel are nice, but often overlooked. The Chars I would remove are Kat, Shaheem, Cloe, Bob and Leo.
i found her last year , im not a VF dude, but when i saw her i fall in love with her, Badass: Check , Strong moves: Check , Amazing personality: Check. But in T8 there's Lidia. which is badass just like Vanessa... i would love to have more badass females or lady females, like Kazumi which is a lady , not a dumb generic girl like lili or asuka
About mainman comment on Vanessa face, she has a more Africa vibe on Vf5us, so very far from the generic Nina Josie doll face now. It would have been also interesting to talk about Eileen, the original monkey fighter archetype who has inspired Lucky design. Eileen is by far the best version. Well, Tekken 7 has a lot of trashy newscomers, but i agree for Lydia, she's just phenomenal and makes me hope the best for Tekken 8.
I can see swe’s opinion on lucky Chloe. I don’t agree with the whole doll look shouldn’t be in tekken there should be a little bit of everything in fighting games. There’s isn’t any fun after awhile using her lol and she’s bland. BUT her design is adorable I think it’s mostly girls can come to like it. I don’t think she deserves to leave only because she didn’t do as well in this game. Tekken 8 should redesign the model and give her different moves. There’s nothing really memorable about the move set now that I think about it. Plus harada really likes lucky Chloe from what I remember so she might stay.
@@MEM-brain yeah I agree it can be awkward. That’s why I said they should change the model, I find it cute but it boils down to just gamer girl/vocaloid. I’d love to see new things in the future. :) no shade to anybody ofc
Yeah, she is a mix fighter. But like MainMan said, she is just too dumb, like cryin' because she won, is like... hm.. Why. and is like with the most girls of the roaster, they are too teen like personality. i want more girls like Lidia, just a badass female.
@@bambieboybaboy5359 Bryan "kickboxing" is not like real kickboxing, Bryan moves are more agressive , more like "street fighting" moves , he has some Kickboxing moves, like his punches or his kicks, but most of his moves are like street fight style... and other are unreal, like his Jet upper , snake edge, etc
Mostly agree with the picks though Josie doesn't bother me that much, I'd rather see Akuma gone. One of my favorite SF characters actually but he does not belong in Tekken.
ya, she should have some escrima /kali style of takedowns or a parry, and a new take of sighting stance that makes her unique. Sure escrima is weapon-based fighting but there have more techniques that involve hand to hand combat and grapplings.
@@kaloychrist She could replace Noctis in Tekken 8 with escrima fighting style. If Jin can do that, so can she. Give her double stick with escrima fighting style, and she's been recruted by Kuma as Tekken force. She'll be much better
You know this kinda hurt becuz I used katarina.. I been with her for a really long time. So I have to agree to disagree. But you onions is your own. So it's all good
My pick: 1. Katarina (Generic, boring, useless to the story, horrible design) 2. Lucky Chloe (Same as above / not even good for comic relief) 3. Bear OR Panda (Just because they're duplicates and both should be added in a Tekken Tag setting ONLY) 4. Shaheen (THANK YOU TMM. Shaheen is EASILY THE MOST FORGETABLE AND BORING character I've seen in a Tekken game) 5. Akuma (I don't think he fits in the Tekken storyline well, but that's just me). But if its playerbase loves him that much, then Claudio or Gigas are probably the 5th spot. This list isn't meant to be for "annoying" characters, but characters that are straight up boring, lazily made, dull, add nothing to the story.
@@musicm1rage623 I don't find him that annoying and the slide isn't unique. Lee and Law do it. Shaheen is a lazily made character to add more diversity. An Arabic character alongside Zafina is cool, but he has no personality lol. He is as bland as Katarina, but people don't hate on him as much because he's not as apparent as Katarina with tits and ass in your face all the time.
From what I heard a lot of Tekken players from the Philippines took her as an insult. They named a busty, air-headed cry-baby after a national hero, so it's not surprising.
I am a tekken7 player for almost 1 year, I chose Josie to start playing and learning the basics of fighting games. I chose Josie solely and exclusively for the fighting style that reminded me of Bruce's, but now I want to say one thing, I mean Josie Main, she would have been a good character for me only if she had been written better and if they had I gave her a sense, like what do I know ... Bruce's niece for example. however if Josie is removed I would be pretty bad, but at least I would like Bruce to come back in all this I love Josie equally, let's say that by now I am fond of the character ah I almost forgot, of course I quite agree with you.
@@janthestranger6036 Exactly bro, much more sense, it would be wonderful if that were the case, I also think the thing is solvable if Bruce ever comes back to tekken8 in order to connect Josie with Bruce finally...
one thing I thought is, can they really remove a character like that? I mean, Josie only appeared on tekken7 and they already remove her like that? I would love to write something better than a bear that brings back the earring ... BUT ARE WE KIDDING? however maybe a story that also makes them change a little character that finally makes sense in the world of tekken to exist etc etc
Josie was not intended to be a muay thai fighter, but I think they based her style from an FMA based unarmed style called Yaw Yan. Indeed i bet they couldnt make full pure FMA based style because FMA is a style designed to be used with weapons. It could also be said that South East Asian Martial Arts like FMA, Silat, and Muay Thai have a lot of similarities in their hand to hand combat application.
If I was to get rid of characters from Tekken 7 to Tekken 8, it would be the following: Josie Lucky Chloe Katarina Noctis (love the character but it's weird to see him in this game) Negan (Same with Noctis)
Omg, I second emotion... Zafina had enough nerf already. It doesn't make sense if they keep nerfing her since her fighting style is base on her evasiveness. I'm sure you can see other characters somehow share the same moves, but not Zafina. She is the most unique character in all honesty. My advise for you is keep practicing and study her frames. She is very punishable if you know the matches. However, she has good tools too. I would suggest, Akuma and Geese are two examples that should be nerfed not Zafina, those meter characters in all honesty... 👌😃
@@decimationjones2342 Man, compare what is comparable: Lei has no range, can't launch with his df2 if the opponent is crouching and most of his tools are border line, moreover not safe, etc...
I feel like all of his picks could just use a redesign. All of the characters look like models, especially the females. They could do better designs for everyone to make them look like they're involved with the world rather than just being pretty/handsome fighters. I mean... You can't complain about Lucky Chloe when Lili exists and we all know how popular she is. We have wrestlers,, sumo, animals and a bunch of weird stuff in the tekken tournaments. No one gonna complain about some girls twirling around. A good chuck of the rooster could use a redesign or a complete moveset overhaul. Heihachi and Kasumi probably won't return, unless they pull some plot armor bs or reveal a Robohachi. Kuma and Panda either need to be one character or get significantly different movesets to justify both being there. Jin and Devil Jin should be one character but be allowed to choose which one you start the round with and have a way to transform back and forth in a match. Also everyone can age a few years. Every female fighter doesn't need to look like their in their 20s.
I agree with them all except the Josie pick. While her visual design is weak, her gameplay is unique, and definitely more interesting than Fahkumram's.
Nah i dont agree with lucky chloe, you take a lot of risk with her and she had considerable nerfs to her rage drive, she is high risk reward i should say also claudio, at least he had a cliffhanger in his story, tekken 7 story didnt had the best story to go deeper with characters specially since like 70% of the stories was comedy only if not more :/
The ignorance is real when it comes to hating Lucky Chloe, she's obviously a fighter, just not a fighter in a general known way to everyone, I just think when it comes to alot of new female characters players are extra judgemental, and meanwhile no one is pointing out how generic Lars look while saying Kat is. 😎 Also I love how you give Shaheen the pass of a visual overhaul but Katarina is just "garbage" and should be scrapped, seems like a biased opinion imo. Sexist maybe😅 "Miguel's visual is decent enough to stay" meanwhile he looks like a generic male version of Katarina dude no better. "I want to have Shaheen stay because he is a middle Eastern character" well Katarina is a Brazilian female savate fighter, Master Raven is a black female ninja tech fighter, Alisa is a female robot fighter, Josie is a Filipino fighter since we want to go there, lmao dude your logic is so flawed how do you even have supporters. "Do we need two Muay Thai fighters" hey buddy we have enough wrestlers in the game and thats not stopping the introduction of new characters, King, Ak King, Marduk, Julia if you want to count her, gigas if you want to count him. So you want Female characters that more like tom-boys/ masculine like Lydia? is that what you're describing at the end of the video? because that sounds like you need professional help my guy. Caught you again lol, you just stated that we dont need two Muay Thai fighters but then said maybe bruce can replace Josie along with Fahkumrah, you people aren't to bright lmao, this whole video made no sense, yes it's your opinion but your opinion was sheer bias and possibly sexist in nature because the logic behind your opinion is flawed and contradicting. Peace!
Agreed 100% on the Leroy bit. If we could revamp his gameplan entirely he would be awesome
Also a higher execution barrier would be nice.
I think new characters get a bad rap. Leroy sucks but Jin sucks for the same reasons with the strings and parrys. Anytime they're -6 they can parry ( don't know how quickly the parry activate but roughly).
I think Jim is as bad balance wise as leroy.
HMM calls Katerina stance and gameplay eaay, if Harri er wasn't alright he would be saying she was terrible like gigas.
I'm kinda saying that somethings work and don't work in tekken and sometimes the community agrees on 1 thing but doesn't agree on essentially the same issues with another character
My point with Katerina is that if she was DLC and her stance works everyone would call for nerfs and if harrier can be dickjabbed everyone would be calling for buffs on harrier.
I don't know if harrier is any good but my point stands either way, the D LC gets different treatment

Bob is exactly the opposite of fat stereotype.
He is fat but still respectable.
I actually kinda like Bob's personality. He's always respectful and nice in his intros and outros.
His ending is basically "hes fat guys haha".
The problem with bob is what they wanted to do in t6 vs what we got
Their concept was a sammo hung inspired character that had no problem with being overweight and works around that
What we got was an obese american who is a stereotype for fat people and plays like mishima for some reason even though he is a tribute to a chinese kung fu master
when it comes to his personality its just about speed and weight
And he's fat but also not fat
Dude. Are you high or something? This completely useless blob of wasted roster space, with no personality to speak off, no proper storyline except for "Beat bad guys = Me hero, everyone admires me now" and simply being a blatant rip off (if that even means anything, because both are equally as pointless) of Street Fighter's Rufus, is a "good character"? If we have reached this level of acceptance for standards to call THIS "good character design"... you seriously need help.
There is simply no point to how he looks. There is no punchline, there is nothing clever or witty about it, no likeable personality to actually make the joke more impactful and actually educational to a degree, like making him actually self-aware that his life style should NOT be replicated by anyone, otherwise you may day later on from diabetus or something, no. Fucking. NOTHING. So as far as I am concerned, this character is completely pointless and all he does is just inadvertently promoting unhealthy habits for people that may already be in a similar situation as him... except that they can't move around like freaking chimpanses, unlike him.
And before you are even thinking about calling me overly sensitive about this and I am only overreacting over a freaking fighting game character, where fighting matters more than story and character design for the general appeal (yeah, who freaking needs that, right? *Sarcasm, by the way*), due to the fact that this character has NOTHING distinct about him, no proper point to him even existing, or hell, even having any moral values for us to learn about, this character feels more like a joke at the expense of the audience, not laughing WITH them, but rather, AT them. It's incredibly condescending the way it was handled and "Haha, you're fat" humor is like the unfunniest thing you can possibly do with a character like that. So predictable.
I think it’s interesting how bob breaks the fat character stereotype you see in other fighting games. Slow, stupid, gross and grotesque but hits like a truck. Pretty sure that’s what they were going for with him and i respect that
Exactly his point. He's a completely different take on fat characters. Respect TMM in other regards, but uneducated opinions like this are honestly disappointing.
Make Bob dlc and give him the option of being Fat Bob or Slim Bob. Slight changes on movelist, damage, movement and rage abilities. Would be an interesting dynamic between Bob/Slim Bob.
Well if you are very fat then you can't be fast but I get your point
Sammo hung
What fat characters are you talking about exactly?

Honestly, I want Raven (male ver.) to come back. I could’ve played him simply cause of the look. Yes, style is the same with Master Raven but I simply can’t stand her
Why the hell the game doesn't have pallet swaps I don't know. It surely wouldn't be too difficult to have OG Raven and Master Raven occupy the same character slot. Same with Bruce and Josie, same with Eddie and Christie, same with both the bears. I couldn't care less if they had identical hit-boxes and the exact same moves/data.
dude totally, still waiting for a mod that turns Raven back to male again.
Master Raven is something I Can stand
Totally agree, I don't play Raven but he was always a great addition to me. I appreciate having a black female character but it could have been someone else. At least give us a palette swap with the same moves
@@RJALEXANDER777 agreed. They did this with Lee/Violet. Why can't they do this for others?
I disagree with Bob, he's definitely not like Rufus who's presented as a total slob, while Bob is presented in a more dignified way in his lore. I think he'll stay since he has a playstyle that is very Mishima-like. As Aris recently said, he's a different flavor of the Mishima playstyle, like how Sagat is a shoto like Ryu but different enough.
They need to add skinny Bob in the game
@@vontedpful that would change the characters move dynamics.. their is enough skinny characters on the game
Bob has literally no personality and is a joke character. His entire premise is "speed and weight". His gameplay is literally an easy mode mishima, no identity of his own aside from easy mishima with evasion, which is boring as fuck. We have enough popular mishima likes, we have like Armor King who's awesome, we have Jin who has mishima stuff but is different in his own way, same for Kazumi.
He is a joke, they just were too cowardly to actually make fun of the joke, which is even worse than just making him an idiot like Rufus or Birdie.
Sagat is a zoner with shoto elements, I really hope you don't play him like you do with Ken or Ryu for example (it might work in bronze rank).
@@ulurius He is based on poking , strings and panic plan B moves (good armor , back swing and shoryuken) and u/f ball stance mix ups
Chloe will be replaced in Tekken 8 by her twin sister, Zoe, who goes ‘4:3:2:1’ which will be also her signature move’s actual input.
I'mma screenshot this comment just in case....
I think he's a time traveler
Ill be back when tekken 8 comes out
Just to remind yall of this comment cuz we are getting T8 in probably one year or less
Love you SWE and respect your gangsta, but Bob needs to stay. As a long time Bob player, gameplay wise he is a solid mishima-like. And like someone said in the comments, he's not like Rufus who is just a slob. He has a solid backstory and hes a great character, comic-relief or not.
Sorry mate, but at least Rufus's obnoxiousness is played for fun. Bob's half-baked edgy-weeb-like personality is meant to be taken seriously like half the shit he does isn't plain ridiculous.

I'd bump Marshall for Forrest Law and give him a new look and add some prankster like elements to his style. This way not only did we bring back his son, but he also has more of his own identity sprinkled into his JKD so he wouldn't feel like a total dad clone.
I mean I love law he’s been my main since I’ve started playing back in 2013 but I’ve been screaming for forest law to be in the game but having both of them in the game would be cool too because you’ll have two different styles of jeet Kun do I you’ll have law more traditional style like Bruce lee but have forest more tricky style
@@iimduu9287 Marshall is getting pretty old along with Paul but Paul's style doesn't require as much athleticism or flexibility as Law's so this would be a good reason to bring back Forrest, to help his dad out with his debts and to prove to his dad that he CAN fend for himself.
You’re right I always wanted Forrest law to carry the torch for Marshall he always had an exciting movelist his B121 was godlike
its a useless swap, since marshal law is just tekkens version of bruce lee. Forrest is also an easy mode watered down version of marshal in prior games since no DSS cancel. You basicaly gain nothing by swaping them.
@@BustedHax I'm talking lore-wise not character mainability mamón. Plus just give his better tools to Forrest along with some new gimmicks for the kid and boom, fresh take on a classic. Besides let's keep it a stack: does it really mean anything to still be a direct Bruce Lee homage anymore? Ain't nobody gonna lose any sleep over a JKD with some new tools and a new look. Real talk.
Feel like a lot more than 5 characters are gonna be cut from 8. I hope all the new original dlc characters and the ones that got newfound popularity like kunimitsu stay .
tbh I'm hoping for like 25-30 characters
Thats a good thing.
@@tongpoo8985 so pretty much only long-standing tekken chars and no newcomers, never gonna happen
bro the moment they gave josie that annoying crying thing and bland happy/positive personality, she already lost lmao. also they need to really differentiate her moveset from looking like just a variation of muay thai and give her some fighting sticks or something
I think gigas should be given dedicated high and mid parries that are extremely rewarding to make him less of a sitting duck than he is. Like one goes into goliath stance and you're massively plus, and the other they hit you and recoil and you get a free overkill throw or a true +12 frames or something like that. Also getting rid of most of the marduk influence but keep 1 or 2 moves. I would also give him a low from goliath that is massively plus and resets the goliath rushdown, it would be fairly damaging and only -10 or -11. I think these changes would make gigas really fun for a lot more people and make his gameplay really unique. Lucky chloe I would have her inputs change entirely to be very intricate. She would have mixups in her pressure by changing the button route and giving some buttons different timing than other. It would be like actually playing a DDR game in tekken. Also give her some annoying trolly ass ground attack or throw that stomps on them, and give her some more king like set up stuff. I think the characters that should be removed are the characters who have little potential to ever have a unique interesting gameplay, like shaheen in my personal opinion.
Outside of generic design, Katarina does have good motivations to be in the game and are tied to Gigas. Who turns out to be her stepfather who disappeared and was at some point turned into the B.O.W. Gigas by G Corp. That for me is interesting enough. But yes the try-hard "look at how sexy I am" thing is unnecessary.

is that troll or his gigas really her stepdaddy

Bob isn't bland gameplay wise. He's hella fun and beautifully animated. He just looks so fucking stupid. Like you can be fat but muscular, look at strongmen. They all have bellies but they're solid with huge traps. He should gain muscle for 8 since he's all about power

I honestly believe Leroy will make it back and Fahkumram won't. This comes from someone who loves the weight and impact of Ram's moves and is partial to the big, scary design. Leroy's design is just too cool.
Josie is fine.. just needs to be retuned and give her a better personality. Just wished they didn't make her so close to bruce. Cuz I want bruce back but will be hard cuz fahkuram is blocking that slot.

I think Josies character development could be interesting. She’s so fragile and scary and boom, trains to be tough and hardcore. Models doing physical activities aren’t that uncommon either, so I think that was an interesting choice. I think that there’s a char for everyone in this game and Josie does represent a demographic.

Josie would be badass if her personality was changed. Like Lidia a strong , badass female, that nobody can break

Yeah miguel is cool
So for Lucky Chloe I think you could actually do something interesting with the Jpop/Kpop idol thing. Dont get me wrong, I hate her and her design and I would also immediately remove her from the game but the dancing fighter approach could be interesting. Like have her dance an actual choreography in her combos. Or let her have stance transitions like Lydia where she goes from one iconic KPop/Jpop music pose to another, stuff that fans of these music genres would recognize. I still wouldnt play her but I think stuff like this could make the character at least more unique.
And on a personal note, it always hurts me when someone shits on Leo. I get that Leos movelist doesnt look interesting but to be honest there is a lot of cool stuff that you can do with the character. Leo has a surprising amount of hidden moves and cancels that are not in the movelist. I also think the design itself is extremely underrated. Leo is a perfect character for everyone just like they intended and a beginner character done right ( something the Tekken 7 newcomers have failed to do in my opinion ). Leo has all the tools you need in order to learn every aspect of the game. Stances, cancels, crouch dash mixups, a ton of parrys with different inputs and applications and so muc more. Her movelist offers a lot for new players to learn and the more advanced players can go for some high execution stuff with her KNK cancels or all the other shit the character can do.
So while I understand that not many like or play her, I think if you dive deeper into what you can do with the character and reflect on the design intentions and how they pulled it off, she is a very well designed character in my opinion. Seeing a Leo expert go crazy is so cool to watch.
Leo has had a great moveset since Tekken 6, but as a character she's super bland and boring.
@@pappico Agreed, I hope they do something with her design in Tekken 8 if she makes it in.
@@EddieMorphling Yeah honestly she's one of those who should be cut off from the main roster of T8 and be DLC. Much like how Zafina was in Season 3 and the Tekken team had all the time in the world to make her even more interesting with the Azazel lore and attacks.

@@AzarathX. No moves belongs to anyone, since they have reclycled certain moves for other characters as well like Asuka's parry I think Nina has done as well, My point is Eddy is no better than Chloe, and if you're gonna complain about her, do the same to him, since they both play similiar with Eddy being more busted while Chloe is much more easier to defeat but that's just me.

Hes not talking about what special powers the characters have, but how they look and what background they give, if you look at kazuya ( the character he plays ) , the guy is muscular and is wearing martial arts fighting clothes and gives off a serious vibe, if you look at the characters he complains about they dont give off any fighting vibe, the reason he likes lidia is because she has some muscle definition and some vibe going for her unlike the characters he was complaining about.

@@guidoc5772 this is hot take but I prefer T Revolution style over T7 since Revolution focused more on the ground game just take out the invincible red move and we're set for a ride.

"Do we need 2 muay thai fighters?" There's like 6-7 karate fighters, 3 Kung Fu fighters, and 3 wrestlers, bro
Lol exactly, just his excuse to get rid of Josie because its popular to hate on the darn character.
Honestly, I want Lucky Chole's movelist to be redesigned for tekken 8.
Is cupsize Jupiter possible, even for anime waifus?
Actually TMM Josie's lore was that her home was destroyed by a storm and she had to train in kickboxing and join the tournament to gain the money to fix her village. However, based her on design, in game personality, and story you never knew that(Did you know Josie was actually becoming a Tekken Force Member?). Katrina was actually supposed to be a badass bounty hunter(Who also lost her parents and become an orphan), again never would have known, they should've just went the full cowgirl western design with her. Hell all the newcomers should have gotten the Tekken 4 treatment lmao. That way just like in Tekken 4 they would have felt like real people and be given depth.
Katarina isn't a Bounty hunter.....

idk about christie, baek and maybe bruce (because of fahkumram). i think theyre just a waste of a character slot because of their same moveset ( mostly i guess) from existing characters
i really dont get the alisa hate; shes such an interesting and fun character. shes not even hard to beat
@@TTboi69 the hate mostly come from her dumb movement and weeb looking design
Remove Lucky Chloe and bring back Christie ❤
Why do you need clone characters as eddy is going no where there should be a skin slot in eddy for tiger and christie
Get raven out over Josie. People play Josie a lot. I literally have never faced a raven online.
Me neither
Atleast Raven has a cool design and moveset. Josie is literal trash.
I agree on everything else EXCEPT Bob. I’m not a Bob player but it’s cool having a big phat guy martial artist who moves like he’s half his weight. If he was like how you described eating a burger and slop like I wouldn’t like him at all and no one would

Almost all new Tekken 7 Chars were just plain boring. Simply because there was no good Story behind it. Josie is nice and the Mishima Waifu. Gigas is a bad character by design, but absolutly fun to play.I like Alisa and Lars simply because I liked the story mode in Tekken 6. Bob was always just a meme char, I agree on removing him. I think Leo and Miguel are nice, but often overlooked. The Chars I would remove are Kat, Shaheem, Cloe, Bob and Leo.
Been a fan of Vanessa Lewis for years. Should be the prototype for 3d strong female characters.
i found her last year , im not a VF dude, but when i saw her i fall in love with her, Badass: Check , Strong moves: Check , Amazing personality: Check. But in T8 there's Lidia. which is badass just like Vanessa... i would love to have more badass females or lady females, like Kazumi which is a lady , not a dumb generic girl like lili or asuka
About mainman comment on Vanessa face, she has a more Africa vibe on Vf5us, so very far from the generic Nina Josie doll face now.
It would have been also interesting to talk about Eileen, the original monkey fighter archetype who has inspired Lucky design.
Eileen is by far the best version.
Well, Tekken 7 has a lot of trashy newscomers, but i agree for Lydia, she's just phenomenal and makes me hope the best for Tekken 8.
Pretty much anything after T5DR can go IMO. Lucky Chloe, Shaheen, Katarina, Josie, Alisa are my five. Give me back Bruce.
Agreed
But i like Leo and to some extent Bob aswell D:
Miguel is fuckin sick and i'll dam well fight you about it
@@BigChow420 Miguel is the only T7 addition I like and think fits Tekken, aside from DLC like Leroy and Lidia.
@@NoobyNick0710 he's actually from t6 but its aight we cool hahaha
I can see swe’s opinion on lucky Chloe. I don’t agree with the whole doll look shouldn’t be in tekken there should be a little bit of everything in fighting games. There’s isn’t any fun after awhile using her lol and she’s bland. BUT her design is adorable I think it’s mostly girls can come to like it. I don’t think she deserves to leave only because she didn’t do as well in this game. Tekken 8 should redesign the model and give her different moves. There’s nothing really memorable about the move set now that I think about it. Plus harada really likes lucky Chloe from what I remember so she might stay.

Josie is more like a kickboxer than a muay tie fighter, she can't be replaced by Fahk
Yeah, she is a mix fighter. But like MainMan said, she is just too dumb, like cryin' because she won, is like... hm.. Why. and is like with the most girls of the roaster, they are too teen like personality. i want more girls like Lidia, just a badass female.
But isn't kickboxing Bryan's thing?
@@bambieboybaboy5359 Bryan "kickboxing" is not like real kickboxing, Bryan moves are more agressive , more like "street fighting" moves , he has some Kickboxing moves, like his punches or his kicks, but most of his moves are like street fight style... and other are unreal, like his Jet upper , snake edge, etc
Mostly agree with the picks though Josie doesn't bother me that much, I'd rather see Akuma gone. One of my favorite SF characters actually but he does not belong in Tekken.
They should change Josie fighting style from her representative country. That would make her much better in tekken 8
ya, she should have some escrima /kali style of takedowns or a parry, and a new take of sighting stance that makes her unique. Sure escrima is weapon-based fighting but there have more techniques that involve hand to hand combat and grapplings.
@@kaloychrist She could replace Noctis in Tekken 8 with escrima fighting style. If Jin can do that, so can she. Give her double stick with escrima fighting style, and she's been recruted by Kuma as Tekken force. She'll be much better
Safe to say Tekken 7 has the worst cast of new characters ever. I much rather have Bruce over every new character that they put into the game.
Tekken 6 had the perfect roaster for me.(aside of Bob but only gameplay wise)
Че вы все до Боба доебались
@@gl350cdi я же сказал геймплейно
You know this kinda hurt becuz I used katarina.. I been with her for a really long time. So I have to agree to disagree. But you onions is your own. So it's all good
My pick:
1. Katarina (Generic, boring, useless to the story, horrible design)
2. Lucky Chloe (Same as above / not even good for comic relief)
3. Bear OR Panda (Just because they're duplicates and both should be added in a Tekken Tag setting ONLY)
4. Shaheen (THANK YOU TMM. Shaheen is EASILY THE MOST FORGETABLE AND BORING character I've seen in a Tekken game)
5. Akuma (I don't think he fits in the Tekken storyline well, but that's just me). But if its playerbase loves him that much, then Claudio or Gigas are probably the 5th spot.
This list isn't meant to be for "annoying" characters, but characters that are straight up boring, lazily made, dull, add nothing to the story.
I can see you r getting shaheen slides a lot 😂.
@@musicm1rage623 I don't find him that annoying and the slide isn't unique. Lee and Law do it. Shaheen is a lazily made character to add more diversity. An Arabic character alongside Zafina is cool, but he has no personality lol. He is as bland as Katarina, but people don't hate on him as much because he's not as apparent as Katarina with tits and ass in your face all the time.
Shaheen is extremely boring. I often forget he's in the game until I match up with one once in a blue moon.
@@dave9020 yeah, totally agree. they could have given him more moves but I guess Harada is lazy..
@@musicm1rage623 Not just that, I fail to see anything interesting about him. None of his moves strike me as "oh that's cool".
Well, that Josie pick will literally anger a certain nation I will disclose. Prepare for that, because those people are vicious.
Lmao Filipinos can get feisty
Lol i'm filipino and i don't even like josie, she's cringey af.
@@dr6563 she's just too easy to forget in the roster
@@kripplepenix9829 she is, she is very uninteresting.
From what I heard a lot of Tekken players from the Philippines took her as an insult. They named a busty, air-headed cry-baby after a national hero, so it's not surprising.
I am a tekken7 player for almost 1 year, I chose Josie to start playing and learning the basics of fighting games.
I chose Josie solely and exclusively for the fighting style that reminded me of Bruce's, but now I want to say one thing, I mean Josie Main, she would have been a good character for me only if she had been written better and if they had I gave her a sense, like what do I know ... Bruce's niece for example.
however if Josie is removed I would be pretty bad, but at least I would like Bruce to come back
in all this I love Josie equally, let's say that by now I am fond of the character
ah I almost forgot, of course I quite agree with you.
It makes sense if they make Bruce as Josie's teacher
@@janthestranger6036 Exactly bro, much more sense, it would be wonderful if that were the case, I also think the thing is solvable if Bruce ever comes back to tekken8 in order to connect Josie with Bruce finally...
one thing I thought is, can they really remove a character like that? I mean, Josie only appeared on tekken7 and they already remove her like that? I would love to write something better than a bear that brings back the earring ... BUT ARE WE KIDDING? however maybe a story that also makes them change a little character that finally makes sense in the world of tekken to exist etc etc
@@ZuJ2K Also I wish Josie added more personality and a Filipina voice actor. As a Filipino, I want to feel like she's really from the Philippines
@@janthestranger6036
I agree
Josie was not intended to be a muay thai fighter, but I think they based her style from an FMA based unarmed style called Yaw Yan. Indeed i bet they couldnt make full pure FMA based style because FMA is a style designed to be used with weapons. It could also be said that South East Asian Martial Arts like FMA, Silat, and Muay Thai have a lot of similarities in their hand to hand combat application.
Do not remove Josie. She’s doing her best
not enough
Pov: TMM kidnapped you and forces you to listen to him talking about the tekken roster
As far as the base game new characters in Tekken 7 go I can only see Claudio being in Tekken 8, the others just aren’t all that interesting.
And he's the "exorcist" in a game full of demon protagonists/antagonists.
@@jinkazama7587 he wants to capture devil jin
You can clearly see the anger and the hatred when he talks about bob
If I was to get rid of characters from Tekken 7 to Tekken 8, it would be the following:
Josie
Lucky Chloe
Katarina
Noctis (love the character but it's weird to see him in this game)
Negan (Same with Noctis)
Noctis and negan well they are cross over so we wont see them in t8
Hands off Claudio! I really like him, he is fun to play and his style looks amazing.
Remove the bears, Jack, Gigas, Bob and Chloe.
I agree with this list. Nerf Paul, Julia, Zafina, and Marduk as well and we'll get a great Tekken.
Omg, I second emotion... Zafina had enough nerf already. It doesn't make sense if they keep nerfing her since her fighting style is base on her evasiveness. I'm sure you can see other characters somehow share the same moves, but not Zafina. She is the most unique character in all honesty. My advise for you is keep practicing and study her frames. She is very punishable if you know the matches. However, she has good tools too. I would suggest, Akuma and Geese are two examples that should be nerfed not Zafina, those meter characters in all honesty... 👌😃
Nerf Zafina? Lol, shes already difficult to play, what’s to nerf.
@@zafo103 I’ve heard this nerf Zafina movement crap, but funny how no one says anything about Lili’s bs movement, or Lei’s and fangs
@@decimationjones2342 agreed... 😃
@@decimationjones2342 Man, compare what is comparable: Lei has no range, can't launch with his df2 if the opponent is crouching and most of his tools are border line, moreover not safe, etc...
Claudio Shaheen Lee Leo and Miguel are all identical
I feel like all of his picks could just use a redesign. All of the characters look like models, especially the females. They could do better designs for everyone to make them look like they're involved with the world rather than just being pretty/handsome fighters. I mean... You can't complain about Lucky Chloe when Lili exists and we all know how popular she is. We have wrestlers,, sumo, animals and a bunch of weird stuff in the tekken tournaments. No one gonna complain about some girls twirling around. A good chuck of the rooster could use a redesign or a complete moveset overhaul. Heihachi and Kasumi probably won't return, unless they pull some plot armor bs or reveal a Robohachi. Kuma and Panda either need to be one character or get significantly different movesets to justify both being there. Jin and Devil Jin should be one character but be allowed to choose which one you start the round with and have a way to transform back and forth in a match. Also everyone can age a few years. Every female fighter doesn't need to look like their in their 20s.
The Bob section was hilarious.
I agree with them all except the Josie pick. While her visual design is weak, her gameplay is unique, and definitely more interesting than Fahkumram's.
Nah i dont agree with lucky chloe, you take a lot of risk with her and she had considerable nerfs to her rage drive, she is high risk reward i should say also claudio, at least he had a cliffhanger in his story, tekken 7 story didnt had the best story to go deeper with characters specially since like 70% of the stories was comedy only if not more :/
The ignorance is real when it comes to hating Lucky Chloe, she's obviously a fighter, just not a fighter in a general known way to everyone, I just think when it comes to alot of new female characters players are extra judgemental, and meanwhile no one is pointing out how generic Lars look while saying Kat is. 😎 Also I love how you give Shaheen the pass of a visual overhaul but Katarina is just "garbage" and should be scrapped, seems like a biased opinion imo. Sexist maybe😅
"Miguel's visual is decent enough to stay" meanwhile he looks like a generic male version of Katarina dude no better.
"I want to have Shaheen stay because he is a middle Eastern character" well Katarina is a Brazilian female savate fighter, Master Raven is a black female ninja tech fighter, Alisa is a female robot fighter, Josie is a Filipino fighter since we want to go there, lmao dude your logic is so flawed how do you even have supporters.
"Do we need two Muay Thai fighters" hey buddy we have enough wrestlers in the game and thats not stopping the introduction of new characters, King, Ak King, Marduk, Julia if you want to count her, gigas if you want to count him.
So you want Female characters that more like tom-boys/ masculine like Lydia? is that what you're describing at the end of the video? because that sounds like you need professional help my guy.
Caught you again lol, you just stated that we dont need two Muay Thai fighters but then said maybe bruce can replace Josie along with Fahkumrah, you people aren't to bright lmao, this whole video made no sense, yes it's your opinion but your opinion was sheer bias and possibly sexist in nature because the logic behind your opinion is flawed and contradicting. Peace!
