Lol.
As I said. I don't think so. I don't believe the PS3's hacked yet. Give it time.

[kupo]

not even copied ps1 games?

Have you even thought of how long the console has been out? It's not like chips and mods are released the day after the console's official release date
Though it might look like it with the Wii...

[Gare]

not even copied ps1 games?

You're better off just getting a PS1 or using ePSXe for that reason, seriously...

[Elmdor Rizer]

....This is bullshit. They let Jin show up in devil form in almost every single ending, yet they decide to go with him becoming the head of the zaibatsu? Well, that's just wonderful. =.=

And how the hell can both Bryan and Yoshi still be alive? Does this mean that we can expect Kunimitsu to show up aswell? Huh, does it? And.. erm.. didn't Marduk kill Armor King?

Whatever. I do think all of this means that it's Hwoarang's time to shine. He'll kill Jin, Kazuya, Heihachi, Bryan, Kuma and just about anyone who gets in his way. Yeah, that's right..

This is what crazy sounds like.

Wave to the delusional man kids.

But don't make eye contact, he might try to force his rediculous fantasy world beleifs on you.

Also there's nothing to say it isn't just king going by the name "armor king".

[Curses]

Great. So she's moved from the most girly boy in tekken to the most boyish girl in tekken.

What makes it even more weird is that she lacks a chest lol.

Most likely. Although it's also highly possible Kazuya could be a boss/sub boss due to him becoming the head of G-corp.

If I had to guess the last 3 fights would likely be Kazuya-Jin-Some kind of new super powerful Devil Jin.

Although it's also possible there's some new "final boss" which hasn't been mentioned yet.

That sounds about right.

If it were to be true, I think Jin would probably - once defeated - pick up the fallen Kazuya, and absorb his Devil power. It's been done before in Tekken 3 (Ogre -> True Ogre), Kazuya's T4 ENDING (upon beating Jin) and in Devil Jin's EPILOGUE in Tekken 5. Scary, no?

Don't forget, there are said to be more new characters on the way as well as many more features to be revealed. This game will contain the largest cast to date.

....This is bullshit. They let Jin show up in devil form in almost every single ending, yet they decide to go with him becoming the head of the zaibatsu? Well, that's just wonderful. =.=

In the pics, he is wearing his classic karate attire. In the AOU trailer, he is shown in development phase sporting his cool hooded tracksuit and in his Tekken 5 ending, he wears a suit.
When playing Tekken Tag, I would always partner Devil with Kazuya and choose him in his Purple Suit.

I was warming to Jin in his white-flame bottoms but I suppose they can be customised.

And how the hell can both Bryan and Yoshi still be alive?

Yoshi was never going anywhere. Even if he did, someone would just replace him with the same fighting style. Yoshimitsu has had a reference in almost every Namco game, let alone being playable in all Tekken and Soul Calibur thus far.
Bryan has appeal to the fans...like me. Oh and he was rebooted into awesome in Tekken 4 (I only paid attention to him in T3 because of his laughing).

Bryan's ending could canon - He shoots Yoshi. Someone finds him injured in the forest. That person happens to be a genius, or related to one, and gives him a new body.

Yoshimitsu can now use two swords, so expect him to display a whole new range of crazy moves.

Does this mean that we can expect Kunimitsu to show up aswell? Huh, does it?

Of course.
Kunimitsu was around atleast 16 years of age when she participated in the tournaments. Bringing her back could mean playing as a woman who is pushing 40...They [Namco] could bring in a younger person whom Kunimitsu taught fighting to, and see her seek revenge or something. Or it could simply be someone completely unrelated who shares a similar fighting style.
I really think they should bring her back (she was starting to develop in Tekken Tag, then they gave Yoshimitsu one of her moves [^ X+O])

And.. erm.. didn't Marduk kill Armor King?

Yes.
Apparently, King I was killed by Ogre. Or not. In King's Dark Resurrection ending, Armor King gives him a powerbomb and as he recovers, he says he remembers that move from somewhere.
I doubt it is the same Armor King in the games prior, though. But wasn't King I a black guy...?

Whatever. I do think all of this means that it's Hwoarang's time to shine. He'll kill Jin, Kazuya, Heihachi, Bryan, Kuma and just about anyone who gets in his way. Yeah, that's right..

lol
Let's hope Steve tripped and fell down a well, too.

Also, I believe earlier I mentioned something about "Item Moves"; It is speculated that these "items" (e.g. shotgun) will be customizable features and not default moves - they can only be used if equipped on your character. It would make sense to limit the amount of times they can be used in fights i.e Bryan shotgun = quick + unblockable x long range = cheap victory. Unless he runs out of rounds.
I expect you will be able to toggle the options on/off, aswell.
Another example would be Lei Wulong + handcuffs: Attacks and knocks you to the floor, then slaps cuffs on you True Crime style - one-hit KO. Or he could use them to bind you for free hits.
...I'm starting to feel sceptical on the whole concept.

I don't see any plausable reasons why Devil Kazuya can not join the roster.

For the naysayers of "Tekken doesn't have good graphics" :



Nice stages. ^__^

[Raype]

What makes it even more weird is that she lacks a chest lol.

Indeed. That's got to be the smallest rack of any female fighting game character ever. Well, not including demons and/or monsters. And even then...

If it were to be true, I think Jin would probably - once defeated - pick up the fallen Kazuya, and absorb his Devil power. It's been done before in Tekken 3 (Ogre -> True Ogre), Kazuya's T4 ENDING (upon beating Jin) and in Devil Jin's EPILOGUE in Tekken 5. Scary, no?

Sounds like it would work, although it does raise questions. Namely how Asuka somehow loses the ability to cause the devil powers to deactivate. Although:

Don't forget, there are said to be more new characters on the way as well as many more features to be revealed. This game will contain the largest cast to date.

It's still possible one of these "new characters" will become the final boss. Although my money is indeed on the devil jin scenario.

Of course.

Maybe Kuni 2 (if she's included in the game) could become "classic Yoshi", copying a lot of his moves and attacks from earlier tekken games (since his new sword would probably give him new/different moves)

But wasn't King I a black guy...?

Yes, but I don't see what that has to do with anything

I see this either being limited or being used along with some sort of "special attack meter" which needs to be filled in order to use the item, and which drains when this item is used. In some cases these items may just unlock additional regular moves (those handcuffs for example may just be used in some sort of special throw). Each character may get a few "special items" which can be used differently, which can put some strategy into the game, since you must decide whether to go with a slow but powerful subweapon, a weapon which adds a couple new attacks to your movelist, or a weapon which is pretty balanced but "nothing special".

While these items do sound kind of odd and like they may impact the game negatively, I'm sure things will somehow be balanced and these items will be done properly. Or at least I hope so.

[Curses]

She doesn't.
She and Jin have yet to realise her mystic power.

Maybe Kuni 2 (if she's included in the game) could become "classic Yoshi", copying a lot of his moves and attacks from earlier tekken games (since his new sword would probably give him new/different moves)

Yoshimitsu will take up dual-sword fighting (and pure-fist fighting). If you look back to that pic I posted of him, you'll see he has a sheath - in a similar style to Taki in Soul Calibur, the extra weapon will only serve as a benefit to the movelist adding more. Nothing should change.

Tekken Tag's Kunimitsu is still fully capable of life in the series given her movelist.

Yes, but I don't see what that has to do with anything

...No, I don't like the sound of that "special meter"...it somehow commercialises the game.

[Raype]

Yes, but the moment Asuka punches the "devil" and it doesn't revert the whole thing goes right out the window. Actually, scratch that, it went out the window in Tekken 5 already. I really need to pay more attention to what I'm typing.

Yoshimitsu will take up dual-sword fighting (and pure-fist fighting). If you look back to that pic I posted of him, you'll see he has a sheath - in a similar style to Taki in Soul Calibur, the extra weapon will only serve as a benefit to the movelist adding more. Nothing should change.

Dual sword fighting and pure fist fighting. Sounds a bit unlike Yoshi. Sure his one sword wasn't heavily used or relied upon, but it played into a few of his better attacks. Throw in another sword (or a sheath, whatever the case may be) and it seems possible that there would be considerable movelist changes. That's the way I see it anyway . Considering the number of fans to yoshis old style of fighting, it would seem possible that there'd be someone who uses the "old style".

Tekken Tag's Kunimitsu is still fully capable of life in the series given her movelist.

Yes, I just saw it as a possibility. Especially considering that apart from Tag she hasn't been seen in a long time. It just seemed more likely that she would show up as an "old style yoshi" as opposed to a (nearly) complete copy of tag/old style Kuni.

< Armor King - Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Yes, but Armor King I was also black. So it doesn't exactly prove anything. (if I get this right you're saying that AK II may be King I? It's entirely possible, but it wouldn't explain where all the other people "eaten/beaten" by ogre have been hiding out)

...No, I don't like the sound of that "special meter"...it somehow commercialises the game.

How so? I don't feel it commercializes the game to any major extent. Sure it makes it seem a bit more like certain other fighting games, but then again so would these "items", seeing as at least one shown so far is a projectile attack that can be used by a normal character (previously projectile attacks were limited to bosses and secret characters). And taking limits off these items would commercialize it further than meters would, at least in my opinion.

Nice stages. ^__^

I am not getting a ps3 to play this so it better be out on the ps2. And wait does that cover say tekken 8 or 6?

[Elmdor Rizer]

If it were to be true, I think Jin would probably - once defeated - pick up the fallen Kazuya, and absorb his Devil power. It's been done before in Tekken 3 (Ogre -> True Ogre), Kazuya's T4 ENDING (upon beating Jin) and in Devil Jin's EPILOGUE in Tekken 5. Scary, no?

Yeah, that does make sense. Aww, doesn't that Tekken IV ending leave you with tears in your eyes? Tears of joy, mind you.

Sidenote, one of my all-time favourite Tekken endings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3NGd...elated&search=

Yoshi was never going anywhere. Even if he did, someone would just replace him with the same fighting style. Yoshimitsu has had a reference in almost every Namco game, let alone being playable in all Tekken and Soul Calibur thus far.

Bryan's ending could canon - He shoots Yoshi. Someone finds him injured in the forest. That person happens to be a genius, or related to one, and gives him a new body.

Oh, of course not, but this is pretty ridiculous. Some of the endings are supposed to be "true", after all, and that should mean that either Yoshi or Bryan's dead. Then, like you said, they could've been revived or whatnot, since they're hardly human, and they both have a few clever scientist friends.

Yoshimitsu can now use two swords, so expect him to display a whole new range of crazy moves.

Sweet. Yoshi hasn't been very good since Tekken II, as far as I'm concerned. He's always fun to play with though, unlike Jin.

Of course.

Bringing her back could mean playing as a woman who is pushing 40...They [Namco] could bring in a younger person whom Kunimitsu taught fighting to, and see her seek revenge or something.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he got killed by Ogre before Tekken III. King II is some orphan that had to take up fighting after King died to keep the orphanage running, and that's when Armor King stepped in to train him. Oh, and Armor King were stronger than both normal kings, lolz.

I'm pretty sure both Kings are/were mexican.

lol
Let's hope Steve tripped and fell down a well, too.

That'd be so rad. He's my brother's best character, and so fucking annoying/boring to fight.

Gonna watch the trailer now.. =3

[Dinosaurman]

Thread soon to be renamed:
"Tekken appreciation Guild"

[Raype]

She's dead, remember?

Didn't stop Kazuya.

[Elmdor Rizer]

Didn't stop Kazuya.

Oh, right.

Ghost-Kunimitsu will be my favourite character, after Hwoarang. ^_____^

Oh, the trailer was silly. Too little Hwo. Err, come to think of it.. I don't think I saw him at all. Then, I was half-asleep, so who knows.

[Seraphis Cain]

So the Virtual Console's got Street Fighter II Turbo, Final Fight, TMNT II: The Arcade Game, and Ninja Gaiden coming up soon. There's four guaranteed purchases from me.
