I mean, you can have both funny yuri ship baiting, and give her a plot to do stuff in. But ya know.
Eh to be fair its not like Law, Paul, Lee, JACK, Bryan, Michelle, Julia, and Hwoarang haven't been spinning their narrative wheels for a while now.

After seeing some T8 gameplay. I can glad that they are testing their builds before shipping the game. They really needs some polish in network and balance seeing some hilarious gameplays (Kazuya's 70 dmg field strings, Kings unavoidable 50-50, unavoidable counter grabs etc...)

Yes, I'm aware there's a Tekken anime. Several in fact. I know nothing much about them, however, so I dunno if they fit that particular trope or if they do something different. (And to be honest it's quite likely I'm missing something else, I did admit at the start I'm not as big a fan :V)

Weird how the japanese fighting game with bears and alien ninjas since the very beginning is not anime enough.

Deleted the post because I threw it together on a whim and, on reflection, it came off as far more critical when I only intended to compare and contrast Tekken and Street Fighter without suggesting one was better than the other. It probably could have done with more polish, for sure.

Not really sure where that statement came from, though, nobody was arguing Tekken isn't anime. I'd argue it's very anime. :V
Going back a bit, though, since the series' treatment of Asuka and the reaction of this thread towards was what prompted me to think about this in the first place. Is this negative reaction towards the focus on the Asuka/Lili rivalry and the demand for her to be more plot-relevant a widely-held sentiment? Is it a region-specific thing? Like it turns out that the Western audience want her to be more central to the plot while the Japanese audience is perfectly fine with her comic relief angle, or something like that.

That freaking anime sword guy from Final Fantasy is in Tekken.
Dude has Sasuke Uchiha hair and everything. Dude uses swords in a martial arts competition. To be fair a competition that lets people fight fully grown grizzly bears, but still.

It didn't seem that critical to me, tbh
Mr
It is kind of sad that Ogre went from a being believed by us fans as having killed every fighter that didn't appear in Tekken 3 either as playable characters or in cutscenes/endings to the guy with only one confirmed kill to his name. The one person Ogre killed is King.
"May your heart be your guiding key"
I was only aware he'd "killed" Jun, Armor King, and injured Baek.

Ogre didn't kill Armour King I, Marduck did.
"May your heart be your guiding key"
Oh yeah. Well then I only remember 2 people he supposedly killed then.
EDIT: According to the wiki King 1, Jun, and Baek were his victims. The only one that died was King 1.

He was also meant to have killed Anna and Wang. Every move he copied is taken from a victim of his.
Meaning everyone that didn't make it to 3 except Kazuya was killed by Ogre.

Yeah the Wiki mentioned that, but also mentioned it doesn't make sense for Ogre to have those movelists since those fighters weren't confirmed injured or dead.
AFAIK Anna and Wang's storyline doesn't mention encountering Ogre at all.

I mean its not impossible for him to just copy the moves he saw them perform without killing them.
Fair.

Can someone spell out to me who all those blurry images are besides the new characters? I recognize a few of them but some just look like nothing (and I'd rather not have to sift through the salty Reddit whining comments to find an identity post which will probably get contradicted anyway :V)
"If you think like a child, you will do a child's work."
I haven't seen that T7 ending in a while. Lili's basically just Asuka's stalker crushing on her and taking ridiculous means to be close to her. And that line that suggests she's trying to save Asuka from getting involved in the Mishima mess is basically the devs saying "yeah, forget that, she'll be spending her time with Lili now."
