Wouldn't be surprised if it was something like that tho
Lazy?
Porting this from the Pokken thread (since no one posted it yet).
Seems that Pokken's development doesn't interrupt Tekken X Street Fighter, and Harada says that the crossover still exists.
That doesn't really detail in what capacity they're working on it, but it's nice to know it isn't dead.
Lazy?
So, Harada is also working on this. You use the Morpheus to nod your head to a schoolgirl's questions.
Is he working on, like, 3 or 4 games now? If so, I want to know which game is most on the back burner.
That makes me worry, really. I'm most looking forward to Pokken and Tekken x Street Fighter, and not a single one has anything more than a tentative release date.
Really bummed that there was no mention of Tekken 7. Makes me less confident that it will be at TGS in any capacity. If Harada really wants to start doing location tests this month, he's got to have something presentable, right?

Games don't usually get release dates until a couple months before they're out. And it seems lately that if you do announce a release date earlier, you're just going to delay it.
Given that Pokken Tournament's trailer specifically said "Japanese Arcades" in 2015, I think the implication is that we will not be seeing the home version until 2016.
Yeah, looking at Tag 2's arcade to home console period, there's almost a year in between their releases exactly. And that's apparently the quickest port/localization Namco's done yet, not counting the releases in American arcades.
Hopefully we're looking at a Spring 2015 release for Pokken, and something a little later for Tekken 7.
What exactly lead to London being a desolate wasteland with the ruins of Big Ben in the background, as seen in Prototype Jack's stage in T2?

Nah I'm good.

So I had a thought. Do you think that Kazumi Mishima had anything to do with how plain fucked up Heihachi is?
Like, ya think that Kazumi threw Heihachi off a building to prove if he was marriage material or something? Because I really want it to continue being a thing with the Mishimas and being thrown off shit.
Don't ask what's wrong with me, because I don't know either.
From the trailer, I got the impression that Heihachi's start of darkness was killing Kazumi after she Deviled out, and whatever happened there is what encouraged him to be a selfish bastard who treats even his own family like shit.

Welll let's say they started small.
- Jinpachi tossed Kazumi off the top of a lorry.
- Kazumi tossed Heihachi off the Tokyo radio tower
- Heihachi dropped Kazuya off a cliff. Kazuya bit back years later.
- Literally a year later Heihachi drops Kazuya into a volcano.
Not to mention those times when Heihachi broke convention, and launched his family off into space instead.

Aren't those only What If? type scenarios due to the Multiple Endings nature of fighting games?
One Strip! One Strip!

Technically, every ending in a fighting game is a What If?, seeing as you can't actually guarantee a sequel. Most fighting game plots revolve around either taking an ending and running with it, or not having one altogether. (Or if you're Capcom, just take the movie's plot.)
I can't say that I pretend to care about the lore of Tekken, but I know that with the exception of the Tag 2 ending, where Heihachi throws Kazuya (and Jin) out of a space shuttle, the events are actually canon.
Kazuya wasn't in Tekken 3 because his body was destroyed after getting thrown into an active volcano, which was restored in Tekken 4 by (I think) Dr. Bosconovich.

Actually, Tekken 4 establishes/retcons that Kazuya just barely survived the volcano thing and was found by G Corperation, but spent the timeskip and Tekken 3 basically stuck in a healing tube, and didn't get properly "revived" until right before Tekken 4.

Maybe I've heard Jin pronounced incorrectly, but aren't Devil Jin and devil gene phonetically the same?
Kind of a funny coincidence if that's the case.
No, they are not pronounced the same.
Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.
I've heard Jin pronounced like the drink by English speakers, and with an extended "e" by Japanese (and the dubbed cast of Samurai Champloo).
Can't say I'm qualified to say who is right, though.
They kind of are in some way.
But its so fucking narmy as hell for people to deliberately pronounce Jin as "Jean" with a VERY emphasized "ee" sound when the Japanese language barely does even that.
His dad pronounces it "gin"
, so I suppose that settles that.
Well, more like "shizin," but whatever.
