So it's more natural for NEGAN to appear in Tekken?

Fighting game devs are known liars.


Put Harada in a Yakuza game where he fights in the Devil Jin style, like he did in Soul Calibur 5.

They're right, I'm glad they picked characters that are much better fits like *looks at notes* Negan from the Walking Dead

The fact that he changed his profile pic makes me love Harada more.

Harada in Yakuza would be amazing. Sounds like a fair trade to me.

Those idiots put in Negan they don't know shit

That Hurts man....Harada would be a great character in Yakuza.

But man it feels like I've just been dumped. Kiryu. Dreams crushed right now.

I kinda agree. The yakuza games kinda come off as yakuza propaganda. Kiryu being this "heart-of-gold" yakuza is some bullshit and I imagine other devs dont want it tainting their games. I say this liking the series a lot, but Kiryu being a hero always rubbed me the wrong way.

Harada was shit on for years, clowned on and now he goes on and says this. Give that man respect for at least attempting to do it multiple times.

Like I said before, it's not on Harada's shoulders. Mans tried to square things away.

Besides how obviously Kiryu fits into the game and it's aesthetic, Yakuza is arguably at its most popular right now, it would almost certainly to high DLC sales.

This reminds me of one of my favorite gaming conspiracy theories! Sammy purchased Sega right before Yakuza 1. Sammy, being a pachinko powerhouse, has long had rumored Yakuza ties. Once the merger happens, Sega just happens to release a game showing that Yakuza with a heart of gold are good for the community.

Kiryu is only in the yakuza for like two of the 7 games he's in.

Why people asking for Baseball Bat Majima? That'd be like asking for Kiryu, but relegating his entire move set to his Beast stance... Majima's iconic and long running weapon is his dagger - Majima uses a bat for part of 0 as a stance and one cutscene in 1 (well, used as a stance in Kiwami as well because recycled assets), but every main story boss fight he gets in the series? He breaks out his badass dagger... I'd accept nothing less if Majima was ever used in a fighter.

I remember reading this same thing on a Shenmue forum. But you missed the bit about how in addition to totally making the Yakuza propaganda game, they also cancel the anti Yakuza game "Shenmue"... its crazy some people actually believe this stuff...

Kiryu stays in the Yakuza for like five minutes why is him being the hero a bad thing?

This dumb meme needs to stop.

just because he looks like a Tekken character doesn't mean he deserves a guest spot. What would he bring in terms of fighting style, design, appeal that isn't already represented in this game? He's just a lamer Kazuya.
