Tekken 7 reveals Ganryu and Fahkumram alongside fancy Leroy Smith gameplay video (See staff post)
- Thread starter Dreamboum
- Start date
Mr. Mishima I don't feel so good
Leroy is the best new addition to Tekken in ages, goddamn
That's why the season 3 update with the additional preset outfits was so good. Many of those actually look better, they have put some work into them.
It also comes with Minecraft Jack, though.
One is a bear, another a robot with human proportions, Yoshimitsu changes from game to game but is still with human proportions, and the last one a monster (genetic mutations or whatever).
New character is a terrible design of a human without human proportions (a bit like Abigail in SFV). If people can't see the difference...
But hey, Jiyuna defends absolutely everything in Tekken, including paid framedata and that year where the tournaments had nearly no money for competitors.
Man, at my level I am exclusively a fan of no-nonsense characters like Jack or Kazumi and Leroy seems like he'll be a very advanced one.
His design though... Is he one of the best designed gaming characters in recent memory?

People post crap like this every time there's a bad Tekken character design. Having robots and bears in your game doesn't excuse anything and doesn't mean whatever character design the devs create is immune from criticism.
Tekken has a diverse set of characters, referencing a broad range of fighting styles.
The character designs draw influences from famous martial artists, martial arts and action movies from a variety of countries, anime from the past three or four decades, modern Japanese popular culture and other fighting games.
In the past few years it has broadened that to include characters from a western TV show and a popular RPG.
I honestly don't see Fahkumram or any other designs from the past few years being particularly irregular given the influences they draw from. You're more than welcome to complain though. The development team clearly take fan feedback into consideration.

If Josie comes back for Tekken 7, maybe they'll make her more obviously an Eskrima fighter; give her the two sticks instead, since Fahkumram can cover Muay Thai.

Here's to hoping!
I waited 5 minutes before posting in the hopes you'd catch it yourself 😅
I've been playing Tekken since Tekken 3 and already know all about the franchise and its petulant devs. All of this still doesn't make any criticism of character design invalid.
Tekken is in a sad state. At this point at the end of a console cycle, we would have seen 3 new Tekken games instead of 3 season passes. They released 1 game and are milking its success as far as they can.
How dare they support the game!!
People love T7. It has a healthy player base and people love watching. It makes absolutely 0 sense from literally any perspective to want them to just drop support and make a new game. What in the world is this post
I feel this Leroy character is an excellent way to make a black character. He feel like an actual black man instead of just a character with dark skin.(based in n this trailer). Sure there are a few stereotypes in his design, but nothing I find offensive and it helps give his character some flavor that sets him apart from just another character with dark skin. Often people ask for representation and are just satisfied with a skin color change but the Tekken guys made something I could see an actual black person doing. Good job in my opinion.
I think these new characters look alright. Very stereotypical unfortunately so I'm not in love with them. I do appreciate the DLC support though.
Yo uh, I dunno if you play fightging games but most fighters are moving to 1 a generation bunch of dlc style thing
and IIRC tekken is more popular and profitable than its been in a while.
Like... have you played a fighting game in the past several years, did you crawl out from under a rock
I don't really like this line of thinking because what it means to be a black means means very different things to different black people.
But he looks cool, so that's dope
The game is frequently dead when I'm playing online so I wouldn't call it a healthy player base.
And apparently expecting an established franchise to deliver new games is now out of this world. What in the world is your post.
Is Tekken the only fighting game you pay attention to? One game and DLC/post-launch support has been the way to go since the start of the generarion.
Tekken 7 is also really really loved so it makes sense to give it even more seasons. Really healthy tournament and stream scene. Netcode is horrible so a lot of people don't play online
This is not true, especially when Netherrealm has released Injustice 2, MKX, an MK11.
Tekken is not even close to being as profitable as it was during the PS1 and PS2 era when there 3 new entries each new console cycle.
Read above
Actually MK11 specifically has been noted by neather realm themselves to be a game to last a while. So it might be the last MK you get for a long ass time. So yeah, even them it seems. Even the timing of the game is condusive to it being cross gen.
And ... how do you know that. Sales and DLC sales seem solid so. It works for them. How is tekken in a sad state? Its more profitable and popular besides ... tekken 3 the street fighter 2 of tekken? That's really good.
You just sound like an old man yelling at clouds man
No, they have been working and improving a good starting point and that has resulted in Tekken being better than ever. Two more games with no content or polish would have been a terrible alternative.
That's why Netherrealm games are extremely lacking when in comes to the competitive scene, eventhough they sell better.
Players prefer one good package instead of three bad ones. You are in the minority here, sorry.
And the game is definitely very active online, it's the most played fighting game on Steam, for example.

The only needed reply to any of your posts is literally "okay boomer"
Netherrealm is pretty much the only FG dev releasing multiple games and even then, they've said MK11 is gonna last a while. Its like you've only just now noticed how FGs work in the modern age.
Lol Tekken 7 is the only Tekken game that released in an unpolished state, with several missing features that past entries provided despite having 2 years cooking in the arcades
What? Never thought I'd see the day where people would rather have to buy three separate games instead of having one that's well supported for years.
Anyway, Leroy rules. Not hot on Ganryu or value brand Sagat but I guess they really don't want to bring Bruce back for whatever reason.
Also 3 full games in a single gen with the graphical fidelity of Tekken seems completely unrealistic. Dev times exist. Franchise fatigue also exists. it's much more feasible to develop one game and iterate over an entire gen, rather than make 3 different ones without fragmentation of the user base. For game development taking upto 5 years for a single game there wasn't ever going to be a case of 3 individual installments.
PSX era Tekken with 3 individual games is no way comparable to the current gen with exponentially higher budget costs and dev times for the release of a SINGLE game, let alone three, especially with an iterative series which tries to bring bigger production values over the previous title.

Yes how dare I want new, exciting content. Capcom should also just release Resident Evil 8 and keeping adding expansions to it instead of releasing Resident Evil 9.
Tekken 7 is one of the best selling games in the franchise and in the genre, universally well received.
"What a sad state, why aren't they milking multiple SKUs that would sell less and dilute the brand/goodwill instead of milking DLC like the new standard of consumption requires"

I never said otherwise. But it was still well received and that's what they've been bulding on.

King of Fighters XIII more played than XIV? That's a surprise lol
You can probably relax with the dramatics, but I don't even know what you mean here. We've had new, exciting content and you're making a real braindead comparison between a fighting game and a single player horror game.
What exactly are you even looking for?
