@@Eedorian Highly doubt it. Tailspin actually exists since Tekken 6 (Devil Jin's WR 2 and Jin's CH EWHF being examples) and changing existing moves property was what it only took to implement it
Yea as someone who loved Bruce since the early days of Tekken when I was a kid. When I didn''t see Bruce it was a bummer, and I ended up maining Josie. Now that Fahkumram is out, I feel slapped in the face again as his moves deal more damage, have more range, better combos than Josie. I wish Fahkrumram didn't look so absurd because I would have dropped Josie
This title is how I've been feeling for years. Not even a main but I LOVE Bruce and his style. Especially in tag 2. Loved him and Bryan together. I puke every time I see Josie from her launch. Fak is awesome but not at the expense if Bruce. Damn it man, bring Bruce back and erase Josie. Fak can stay. In either case, they will never replace what Bruce was and what he brought to the table. Wishful thinking. Slowly became more apparent that Namco has been pushing Bruce away slowly. So wack! But the future is unknown. I'm never giving up on his possible return. And the homie Pok Chop will FLIP! Haha No Round Browns for days!!

I hope so. I hope they change Jossie into eskima fighters with double sticks. That's kinda cool. I think this will possible because muaythai fighter is Fahkumram. Like Jin Kazama who has changed his fighting style in tekken 4

Hey i have a question about bruce. In tag 2 mainman showed he had 13 frame ws launcher. Does he have that in tekken 6 as well? Does he get any follow ups or oki after ws 21?
@@ConstantUNTILisnt Nope he doesn't because d3,4~pss transition was a tag 2 addition which was not a thing back in T6. In T6 doing d3,4 after ws2,1 set up a tech catch for his unblockable.
Fahkumram was a really cool addition in T7 but Bruce is a legacy character that needs to be brought back. Here's hoping they give Josie the axe and replace her with Bruce in T8
I appreciate this vid Main Man. The way I see it, Fakum and Josie are basically like the two sides of Bruce. Fakum has better pokes but is very sluggish, Josie has better sustainable pressure and is much quicker but has to take risks to get good damage. Bruce was the best of both worlds, he was a Fakum and Josie combo.
What does sluggish mean? The frames are the exact same? Or do you mean sluggish because of movement? Oh wait fahkrumram has one of the best movement of the game Idiot
I think he means Fahk is sluggish as in a lot of his signature moves either have a big windup or cooldown built into their animation. Yeah he has great quick pokes and it's not like he has bad frames, just that the way those frames are animated make him look like a big slugger rather than the kinetic speed of Josie or the viciousness that Bruce had
I'll always be mad at harada and murry.. Bruce still got that muay thai and that swag that makes his style look better. they just split Bruce into josie and fahkuram..if they wouldve just took their time like they did zafina, marduk,armor king,ganryu this character would've came back so strong! Especially being that tekken 7 is balanced and many things have been fixed.. great character design and they fucked over it! #BRUCEirving😔🤬
I like the idea of a crybaby kickboxer who’s also a model in her free time, but as a replacement for Bruce ? No thanks. I love Josie but if you asked me to pick between her or Bruce I’d have to go with Bruce. I would like if they brought Bruce back for Tekken 8, and gave Josie more of her own fighting style (because 3 Muay Thai fighters would be kinda excessive).
Just remove Josie and Keep Fahk if they aren't bringing Bruce back in the next installment. Though I'm not sure whether or not Josie has a high pick rate.
There was no _"Duality"_ in Bruce's character, nobody regarded him as a bad guy because he was Kazuya's bodyguard, are we *_literally_* forgetting these *major* plot points of the series, that: 1) The G Corporation, opposing the Mishima Zaibatsu, were fighting on the virtuous side of the war, Kazuya's dishonest intentions are irrelevant to the motivations of those who fought on the side of the G Corporation. 2) Kazuya's identity as the literal devil only begins to be revealed to the world throughout the story of Tekken 7???
Probably referencing Bruce's personality back in Tekken 2. Since he was Kazuya's personal bodyguard. And Kazuya was basically a mob boss that did everything under the sun. He's just assumed to be "as bad". I can't remember if he had any special convos back in Tekken 6 story mode.
@@Te_LaSoul understandably agree. Honestly, thought it was only me who hated Josie (as she replaced Bruce). Trully hate Leroy too for replacing Wang. Wang supposed to be dead, and Leroy substituting him.
Zangana I think what makes it bad, is there doesn’t seem to be a real interest in making new characters interesting. Kazumi, is the only new character who feels real, and essential. Everyone else is either a meme or a just mechanics attached to a body. At least Tekken 3, made the new characters feel important. Losing Bruce for Bryan made sense. Losing Bruce for Josie and Fahk doesn’t
Yeah its depressing, I still remember the notations, combos and enders. I really thought Fahkumram would feel the same but he's definitely not Bruce. They'll prolly just give his other moves like B2 to Josie/Fahkumram as season updates. Sad times.
This is how everyone at Tekken HQ works: We said no copy characters but Lets Add Armor King,Anna and Marduk also we can make A K-Pop version of Christie, Also Lets make raven but with tits and call them the Master and we can make a female bruce that gets nervous while fighting And another Bruce but this time he's a stereotypical body builder tough guy who has tattoos for skin and scars for personality
I started with tekken 2 and was immediately addicted. I got my first playstation when I was 11 or so (now 33). My first games were tomb raider and crash bandicoot.
another thing about bruce he has a decent chain grab game that deals more dmg than Armor Kings chain grabs l don't remember very well but its 70 or 80 dmg if the opponent eats the full chain.
I enjoyed playing as Bruce in TTT tagged up with Bryan. I noticed Josie had a lot of Bruce's moves but I just can't play as her because I just don't like the character.
I don't give a damn about him being a shallower character than josie and fakurmom, I miss so much his moves and animations. So graceful yet so brutal, like the real Muay Thai (or more like Muay Boran in Bruce's case)
What pisses me off is if they had to remove him from t7, there should have been a story reason or a foreshadowing in t6, just removing him for no reason is a smack to the face of those who love him as a character. If they wanted to bring in an authentic muay Thai character then what's josie doing in this game? Having Bruce and Fahkumram would have been a way better situation. In terms of aesthetics Josie is extremely boring and anyone who has played the previous entries knows that she has inherited a lot of moves from Bruce, so what was the point to omit Bruce? Personal dislike of the devs? If that's the case then they don't understand their own fans.
He can be easily implemented into T7 because most of his moves are Josie's moves. But wait out until T8 maybe he'll be back. Doubtful, but Tekken is sorely missing some black representation. And with the way the people are fighting the good fight, it would be good PR for them to add him. Although Bandai Namco is a Japanese country so they might not feel the pressure as much.
When TMM mentioned the part of Bruce’s movesets were placed to Josie and Fahkumram. Something is telling me that Harada doesn’t like Black dudes that much..except for MR and Leroy for obvious reasons. 😂 But seriously though if T7 needed more improved Muay Thai. They should probably get help from one of the badass movie star of Muay Thai...= Tony Ja.
i sometimes doubt what Bandi Namco think, erasing an OG character that has a unique fighting style, and then bringing 2 new muay thai fighters as if they are shutting down my hopes that my previous main Bruce is coming back. im sure anyone will be depressed if they lose their main.
@@drytears781 me too, haha. Fahkumram is better tho and the better replacement for Bruce, Bruce is still unreplaceable but Fahk is the closest of being bruce.
On another note, *Bound* to me will always be a better mechanic than *Tailspin* , they said its main purpose was to nerf wall combos but that wasn't really achieved I feel, it just makes ending your combos require you to travel the distance of the arena and it's purely aesthetic, and even in that regard bounding looked better and felt much more satisfying.
I feel like they should put bound and screw in Tekken 8, but you can't use 2 of them in a combo, I feel like that would buff a lot of characters like Lee.
*When it comes to fighting games that are style heavy I always go for the Muay Thai base character I love the fighting style and Bruce off the rip became my main. When I saw him replaced for Josie ass I was pissed, but Fake actually relieved my stress giving us a real Muay Thai fighter again*
This year I started to go back to tag 2 because most problems with TTT2 has reappeared in T7 season 3 anyway. Tag 2 is more fun in many other aspects. There's not much reason for me to play 7 anymore
junkyRyan138 I just deleted it again. Literally the first Tekken game that cant keep my attention and for years it was the only franchise I played. If there is a season 4...I might try again.
🐤🎷Bruce will continue being my fave and prime main as I had first tried him in TEKKEN 2 learned him when I had bought Tekken Tag 1. He became my prime main in Tekken 5 vanilla. #BruceRyuken lives on!
@@firstcooommment3675 A tag what?you think they will make a tag game again?lmao tag 2 was a failure and already bloated with 50 plus characters and you think they will make a tag 3
its weird because there were A LOT of bruces in TTT2 they didn't really have a reason to replace him, he was used way more than Anna in my experience i have about 3000 matches in ttt2
#BruceRyuken! 🐤🎷Bruce will remain as my prime Tekken main and long time favorite regardless. I had tried him in Tekken 2 arcade, learned him in TTT1 console, prime mained him in Tekken 5 (My first Tekken video upload is of Bruce from T5) up until TTT2 and Tekken Mobile. It was dumb as hell for Bandai Namco to get rid of him. 🕶🐶 Leroy Smith is the one in Tekken 7 to put on some neosporin for my Bruce pain, but that's not even enough. Well, even more of a reason to revisit Tekken Tag 2, Tekken 6, Tekken 5 DR, Tekken 5 vanilla, Tekken Tag 1, and Tekken 2.
Josie could've had a different style similar to Guro Dan Inosanto's Eskrima and Pencat Silat. What happened was some lazy devs copy pasting with minimal changes.
What Bruce had that Josie and Fakh didn't was charisma tbh; like you only need to look at bruce to know he's one of the coolest characters in Tekken that everyone loved. I stopped playing Tekken since T6 but looking at the new characters, their personalities were just really lackluster compared to how T5 and T6 introduced their new characters like Asuka and Bob but that's just my opinion.
@King of Iron Fist How is he played out? Bruce had an interesting story. Elements of Fahkumram's and Leeroy's stories were actually ripped off from Bruce's background. He has more depth than most characters by being a criminal, yet wanting to be a role model for kids. A good move list. No issue.
@King of Iron Fist That's been the case for basically every non-Mishima since T5 though. There was no point in singling Bruce out. If plot mattered to Bamco, they could have easily rebuilt his ties to Lei regarding Bruce's memories about the death of Lei's partner. Or finding out Kazuya was involved with the crime syndicate that tried to kill him for not throwing a kickboxing tournament. There was a lot there that they decided to not expand upon.
Yeah..I also mained bruce in TTT2 and T6...not that good of a player but I don't mind using Josie.. I see Josie as an insecure child who's trying to get more confidence by entering the Tekken tournament for the first time...and yes..people get nervous...It's a human emotion people seem to forget. Apparantly every female needs to be a bad ass kicking character. People complain too much. Yes..it's sad Bruce is gone...that's a fact but right now you got 2 options...an unarmed eskrima and a raw muay thai character. I also think it had to do with the fact they wanted more asian orientated characters in the game.
On the old arcade cabinet if Bruce was not unlocked you put the cursor over Lei, push up 4x and push start. Players had to figure that out "pre-internet".
It's not like I wouldn't mind seeing him back, but I like his replacement a lot more because it's not just another American character. It would be nice to have a more varied character list, seeing as we still don't have a character from Africa, and we still don't have an older woman character (Kazumi doesn't count because she looks young, same with Nina/Anna).
@@ryanwest4088 that is because there is no Bruce anymore, put them in the same game hardly doubt any of those Josie mains won't switch(back) to Bruce. Same with Master Raven, def prefer Raven, his moves, costumes and teleports. The character switch def went along with the feminism and all that jazz. You see a character concept like Lucky Chloe, perfection for a female gender, but Bruce or Raven? They were perfection and never needed to change.
I much prefer Bruce as a character than Josie and Fahkumram. He’s an OG, and the fighting style is more appealing, to me at least. Imagine the redesign he could of gotten
Let's face it. They cut Bruce up and gave away all the pieces to the new kids. Josie gets his moveset; and Fahkumram gets his fighting style and backstory. GIVE JOSIE HER STICKS, DAMMIT!

Everyone else is either a meme or a just mechanics attached to a body. At least Tekken 3, made the new characters feel important. Losing Bruce for Bryan made sense. Losing Bruce for Josie and Fahk doesn’t
@@Te_LaSoul totally agreed. The old ones feel like they have a purpose in the game.
What gets me is that he has all these Muay Thai techniques and awesome animations, yet the devs never thought him to be a proper MT fighter.
Still waiting for Mainman to analyse my favourite dilf from Tekken.

I love the weirdest tekken characters in the entire series, who had a very interesting play style. Nothing wrong with that...
@@emberz3778 You're damn right there's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah its depressing, I still remember the notations, combos and enders. I really thought Fahkumram would feel the same but he's definitely not Bruce. They'll prolly just give his other moves like B2 to Josie/Fahkumram as season updates. Sad times.
The way I see it, Bruce is basically the black sheep of the Tekken franchise. No one has been replaced more than him
At least he got more than one canon game, unlike Kunimitsu or how Jun got replaced.
@@Shiratto true. Still, out of all the veteran characters that got replaced, Bruce has been replaced multiple times
His character design shits on Josie and Fakumram. Give him a godly redesign they have armour king and you're golden
I would give up all my knowledge for the characters ik how to play with to get Bruce back
This is how everyone at Tekken HQ works:
We said no copy characters but
Lets Add Armor King,Anna and Marduk also we can make
A K-Pop version of Christie, Also
Lets make raven but with tits and call them the Master and we can make a female bruce that gets nervous while fighting
And another Bruce but this time he's a stereotypical body builder tough guy who has tattoos for skin and scars for personality
AK is different from King. Anna is different from Nina. Marduk is better than Gigas.
Why in gods name did they remove him anyway
Way too many black characters.
@@reppinseattle7974 da freak tk7 only has 3 black characters
It was a marketing test I believe someone said.
Leonel Garcia 4 actually. Eddy, master raven, armor king, and Leeroy.
@@853Nynn I keep forgetting AK
i started with "Tekken " and Tekken 2 on the Gray playstation one,that console had alot of classic franchises come from it
Metal Gear Solid and Tekken 2 made my childhood epic
I started with tekken 2 and was immediately addicted. I got my first playstation when I was 11 or so (now 33). My first games were tomb raider and crash bandicoot.
another thing about bruce he has a decent chain grab game that deals more dmg than Armor Kings chain grabs l don't remember very well but its 70 or 80 dmg if the opponent eats the full chain.
85 damage but easy to break by spamming 1 or 2
I always thought Bruce was a bodyguard strictly for money but always was a good guy or at least an antihero
I enjoyed playing as Bruce in TTT tagged up with Bryan. I noticed Josie had a lot of Bruce's moves but I just can't play as her because I just don't like the character.
I don't give a damn about him being a shallower character than josie and fakurmom, I miss so much his moves and animations. So graceful yet so brutal, like the real Muay Thai (or more like Muay Boran in Bruce's case)
Don't forget how satisfying his B+3 on counter was and how it makes the opponent slam on their back with their legs swinging back lol.
What pisses me off is if they had to remove him from t7, there should have been a story reason or a foreshadowing in t6, just removing him for no reason is a smack to the face of those who love him as a character. If they wanted to bring in an authentic muay Thai character then what's josie doing in this game? Having Bruce and Fahkumram would have been a way better situation. In terms of aesthetics Josie is extremely boring and anyone who has played the previous entries knows that she has inherited a lot of moves from Bruce, so what was the point to omit Bruce? Personal dislike of the devs? If that's the case then they don't understand their own fans.
He can be easily implemented into T7 because most of his moves are Josie's moves. But wait out until T8 maybe he'll be back. Doubtful, but Tekken is sorely missing some black representation. And with the way the people are fighting the good fight, it would be good PR for them to add him. Although Bandai Namco is a Japanese country so they might not feel the pressure as much.
they got leroy
When TMM mentioned the part of Bruce’s movesets were placed to Josie and Fahkumram. Something is telling me that Harada doesn’t like Black dudes that much..except for MR and Leroy for obvious reasons. 😂
But seriously though if T7 needed more improved Muay Thai. They should probably get help from one of the badass movie star of Muay Thai...= Tony Ja.
I don’t think he’s forever replaced. He could make a return in t8 considering Josie isn’t that popular
Josie is popular she is on the top 10 list of character usage
Ryan West it’s interesting u say that coz I never see her
khalidibnwaleed989 I see more often than black raven, yoshimitsu, and bob
i sometimes doubt what Bandi Namco think, erasing an OG character that has a unique fighting style, and then bringing 2 new muay thai fighters as if they are shutting down my hopes that my previous main Bruce is coming back. im sure anyone will be depressed if they lose their main.
Josie art is not muay thai lol ua-cam.com/video/8uIL0DCDMBs/v-deo.html
Bruce fighting style.unique?
I still like bruce a lot even tho hes been replaced
I like both fahkumram and bruce...both are awesome
Shoutout to all the Bruce mains in T6 😢
Thank u :c
Bruce was dear to my heart. I'll never have my main again ;-; I'll miss ya. I have to put up with Fahk. I refuse to play Josie lol
Can't blame you for not using Josie.
@@Adam7180 fahk is cool and as close as I'll get. Josie's personality is my only problem xD
@@drytears781 me too, haha. Fahkumram is better tho and the better replacement for Bruce, Bruce is still unreplaceable but Fahk is the closest of being bruce.
On another note,
*Bound* to me will always be a better mechanic than *Tailspin* , they said its main purpose was to nerf wall combos but that wasn't really achieved I feel, it just makes ending your combos require you to travel the distance of the arena and it's purely aesthetic, and even in that regard bounding looked better and felt much more satisfying.
This right here!!
I feel like they should put bound and screw in Tekken 8, but you can't use 2 of them in a combo, I feel like that would buff a lot of characters like Lee.
Bound definitely looks and feels so much better than tailspin
*When it comes to fighting games that are style heavy I always go for the Muay Thai base character I love the fighting style and Bruce off the rip became my main. When I saw him replaced for Josie ass I was pissed, but Fake actually relieved my stress giving us a real Muay Thai fighter again*
I played Bruce alongside Armor King Dragunov Heihachi and Bryan I miss those days
Hopefully we see Bruce in T8 and they don't mess it up this time around
Agreed
This year I started to go back to tag 2 because most problems with TTT2 has reappeared in T7 season 3 anyway. Tag 2 is more fun in many other aspects. There's not much reason for me to play 7 anymore
The only thing better in T7 are side steps and throws are easier to break. The side steps are very risky in TT2.
junkyRyan138 I just deleted it again. Literally the first Tekken game that cant keep my attention and for years it was the only franchise I played. If there is a season 4...I might try again.
@Tcb bct TT2 characters can track their opponent even on side steps. The game code didn't work properly as T7 actually does.
I feel the same.
🐤🎷Bruce will continue being my fave and prime main as I had first tried him in TEKKEN 2 learned him when I had bought Tekken Tag 1. He became my prime main in Tekken 5 vanilla. #BruceRyuken lives on!
Bruce should have been in Tekken 7
Just wait for Tag 3. Like the rest of us Jun fans.
_cries in Kunimitsu_
*cries in roger*
@@firstcooommment3675 A tag what?you think they will make a tag game again?lmao tag 2 was a failure and already bloated with 50 plus characters and you think they will make a tag 3
@@Apostolis444
You must be new around here.
Bruce was my main in T5 T6 and Tag 2 sucks he didn't make it in T7. Maybe we will get him in Tekken X Street Fighter LOL
I don't mind the new characters tbh. But for Tekken 8 make Josie less of a crybaby and Fakumrhams body more proportionate to his head and waste.
Fahkumram body looks fake and so unnatural I would have made sense if they added that he did steroids in his story
its weird because there were A LOT of bruces in TTT2 they didn't really have a reason to replace him, he was used way more than Anna in my experience i have about 3000 matches in ttt2
Damn I miss tag2
he'll be back. just wait 😉 regards from Philippines
#BruceRyuken! 🐤🎷Bruce will remain as my prime Tekken main and long time favorite regardless. I had tried him in Tekken 2 arcade, learned him in TTT1 console, prime mained him in Tekken 5 (My first Tekken video upload is of Bruce from T5) up until TTT2 and Tekken Mobile. It was dumb as hell for Bandai Namco to get rid of him. 🕶🐶 Leroy Smith is the one in Tekken 7 to put on some neosporin for my Bruce pain, but that's not even enough. Well, even more of a reason to revisit Tekken Tag 2, Tekken 6, Tekken 5 DR, Tekken 5 vanilla, Tekken Tag 1, and Tekken 2.
Same here!
Should never been replaced.
Imagine this T8 roster. 3 muay thai fighters: Josie, Bruce and Fahk. 5 capos: Eddie, Christie, Tiger, Chloe and new capo.
Probably in Tag 3.
Josie could've had a different style similar to Guro Dan Inosanto's Eskrima and Pencat Silat. What happened was some lazy devs copy pasting with minimal changes.
Josie is a kickboxer with eskrima.No muay thai is used in her arsenal
Bruce just went to the supermarket to get his milk, he will be back you'll see.
Bruce in tekken 6 is not dead and i'm sure is going to be back for sure
Before i clicked on the video it had subtitles and it said Whats Up Guys Main Man Sweetie Here 😂😂😂
Bruce in T6 was dripping with so much swag. I'm a Steve main (since T4) and I despise Bruce when I had to face him in T5DR & T6.
Josie has a 1+2 right hand only parry, it has a very cool animation but I don't think it works the same as Bruce's parry
What Bruce had that Josie and Fakh didn't was charisma tbh; like you only need to look at bruce to know he's one of the coolest characters in Tekken that everyone loved.
I stopped playing Tekken since T6 but looking at the new characters, their personalities were just really lackluster compared to how T5 and T6 introduced their new characters like Asuka and Bob but that's just my opinion.
It makes no sense how they keep replacing Bruce. Bruce is a great character.
You always pick the best flower.
@King of Iron Fist he might not have but Josie has even less
@King of Iron Fist it's Murray who killed bruce.. he said he wanted a real muai Thai character from Thailand
@King of Iron Fist
How is he played out? Bruce had an interesting story. Elements of Fahkumram's and Leeroy's stories were actually ripped off from Bruce's background. He has more depth than most characters by being a criminal, yet wanting to be a role model for kids. A good move list. No issue.
@King of Iron Fist
That's been the case for basically every non-Mishima since T5 though. There was no point in singling Bruce out. If plot mattered to Bamco, they could have easily rebuilt his ties to Lei regarding Bruce's memories about the death of Lei's partner. Or finding out Kazuya was involved with the crime syndicate that tried to kill him for not throwing a kickboxing tournament. There was a lot there that they decided to not expand upon.
Josie and Fahkumraum are a spit on the face of Bruce players.
Yeah..I also mained bruce in TTT2 and T6...not that good of a player but I don't mind using Josie..
I see Josie as an insecure child who's trying to get more confidence by entering the Tekken tournament for the first time...and yes..people get nervous...It's a human emotion people seem to forget. Apparantly every female needs to be a bad ass kicking character. People complain too much.
Yes..it's sad Bruce is gone...that's a fact but right now you got 2 options...an unarmed eskrima and a raw muay thai character. I also think it had to do with the fact they wanted more asian orientated characters in the game.
Neither Josie nor Fakumram can replace "Bruce".
On the other hand, Not a single move of them is equal to Bruce "B 1".... 😭
Agreed
Harada basically hoed us all. Damn shame
Kazuya basically replaced Bruce with Lucky Chloe.
On the old arcade cabinet if Bruce was not unlocked you put the cursor over Lei, push up 4x and push start. Players had to figure that out "pre-internet".
God I love tag2. Still my fav Tekken to date
Poor Bruce got replaced twice in one game OMEGALUL
Bruce, Baek and Mokujin will always be my favorite characters of the Tekken universe!
It's not like I wouldn't mind seeing him back, but I like his replacement a lot more because it's not just another American character. It would be nice to have a more varied character list, seeing as we still don't have a character from Africa, and we still don't have an older woman character (Kazumi doesn't count because she looks young, same with Nina/Anna).
Ripoff is good word. It was a huge mistake to switch Bruce with Josie.
Actually it was a good idea that he was replaced by josie, therr are a lot of josie users especially in america area and asia area
@@ryanwest4088 that is because there is no Bruce anymore, put them in the same game hardly doubt any of those Josie mains won't switch(back) to Bruce.
Same with Master Raven, def prefer Raven, his moves, costumes and teleports. The character switch def went along with the feminism and all that jazz. You see a character concept like Lucky Chloe, perfection for a female gender, but Bruce or Raven? They were perfection and never needed to change.
@@ryanwest4088 actually it was a BAD idea, your dumbass is probably one of those idiots that supports the shit Bandai does, quite sad
I agree man, if they just kept Bruce and put him in Tekken 7 then we wouldnt have so much trouble like we do now
they should remove Josie and give us Bruce and Jun kazama back.
Still play ttt2 because if bruce and baek.
Watching pokchop get hype after a win with him
0:36 Nope, Tekken 3 on PS1 was my first fighting game when I was like 10.
I much prefer Bruce as a character than Josie and Fahkumram. He’s an OG, and the fighting style is more appealing, to me at least. Imagine the redesign he could of gotten
SAME!!!
Tekken Tag 2 isin't his the toppest tier of TMM list, but he has been revisiting it lately
Let's face it. They cut Bruce up and gave away all the pieces to the new kids.
Josie gets his moveset; and
Fahkumram gets his fighting style and backstory.
GIVE JOSIE HER STICKS, DAMMIT!
I see!...Eskima Use stick or knife
Then give Bruce a Double Revolver.
Can you do a video explaining Bob in tekken 7 and explain how viable he is? Also I could really use some helpful hints
I straight up want them to remove fakhumram and give us bruce
I'm not a mainer of bruce and I don't know so much of him I play with mishimas and asuka jun jin law hwoarang lee king armor king and lei
If no old character was ever replaced or axed how many characters would tekken have by now? 70+ ?
6:29 Bruce's homeplanet needed him
Mainmanswe over here trying to make me go on another drunken rant.
Josie 14 frame punishment with rage is ridiculous and she has a butterfly edge, two best things in the game
