Tekken 7

I doubt Nina killed him for the greater good & all that jazz. That being said it's not like Anna was ever on side of good either, but if she's really is mourning as her profile says then this was still quite the dick move on Nina's part.

Something else to note. Tekkenpedia lists Jerry from Tom & Jerry as Anna's favorite character from the cartoon while Nina prefers Tom.

Now as stated by agent-trunks, neither of the Williams is really good. But it has been pointed out on this site that Anna is the more sympathetic of the two. So it's interesting that Anna's favorite character is the one who in many versions of cartoon is a villain while Nina's is the character who actually comes as sympathetic most of the time.

My guess, it's also a play on how Jerry usually comes out on top (like Nina) while tom often loses (hence Anna).

(4) For her fiance not to be murdered by her own sister while said sister was disguised as her?

For all we know Nina consummated the marriage before performing the act.

That we can be sure she didn't do. It's said that she used a bomb to take out both the groom and a number of guests at the wedding.

Though that does muddy why she needed to disguise herself to do so.

Maybe she didn't get an invitation to the wedding.

At least the wedding wasn't red...

More of a firey orange.

A Williams always repays her debts.

AND OUT OF NOWHERE, WE GOT DLC NEWS.

Armor King, Craig Mardauk, and Julia Chang are all coming soon!

Julia sounds a lot younger now.

I mean, I think she's only supposed to be in College, but she seems (and sounds) even younger than that now.

And Negan. Boy did they not half ass this trailer, even if they did the voice acting, his character model, animations, and lip syncing.

He looks like a pretty shitty character across the board.

He made Bob cry...

That monster!

Lets get him!

...well not me. don't have the game, but the rest of you show him what's for!

x4 I wouldn't say out of nowhere, since the Tekken World Tour was holding it's Grand Finals this weekend.

Craig and AK look great, though. Craig's Rage Drive being his ground and pound is interesting. Not super fond of their new take on Julia but I've never been a huge Chang fan, anyway.

Wow really? I'm kinda surpysuch an event swept under my radar. Must be because of all the smash hype in my mind.

oh yeah also the champion this year was rangchu

a panda player

Negan hates pandas!

...Does he seriously hate Pandas?

He doesn't like tigers so...

Compared to giant tentacle monster robot, or token Filipino crybaby girl, or giant-chested, open-shirt sunglasses woman, or Japanese Hannah Montana, or Kazuya's shrine maiden mom who exists to retcon Heihachi into an Anti-Hero, or that guy from the clan of "monster hunters" that suddenly became a thing in Tekken 7, or Miss "my boobs increase the longer I fight" vampire chick, or the black ninja lady who combines Katarina, Josie, and Eliza's fanservicey traits into one package and still manages to be irrelevant?

I'm honestly still tickled how much this Negan inclusion bothers people in a franchise of weird, exotic creatures, demons, robots, overtly sexualized females, and tertiary characters with storylines running nowhere (cough) Leo Zafina Bryan Fury Sergei Master Raven JACK-whatever King Armor King Marduk Law Lei Lee and so on (cough). It's not going to hurt the franchise really. I mean, Hamada seems to be okay with it. Negan's not taking up up a spot on the roster that could have gone to some vastly more deserving character like Forest Law or Bruce Irvin or, oh, Ganryu, the original wonders that those three were.

Devil's advocate: I admit if I was on the "Negan is a terrible guest character" side this trailer does feel like a mean-spirited middle finger and I do feel that was unnecessary.

But I also find it hilarious. After seeing many a work deprived of characters because one company didn't want their character getting disrespected, it's nice to see Bandai not being tight-assed and having fun with a franchise instead of adhering to rigid "rules."

And no, I don't think it was anymore half-assed than Noctis's was. It's impressive that they bother to make scenarios for these guest characters at all, rather than just making brief gameplay demonstrations.

...I mean, it's cool they're here now, but I've no idea why they're here after Lili, Asuka, Noctis, or Geese. Wouldn't it make more sense to get in the requested veterans first then try to push the zany guests and newcomers?

Bando put in a freaking android from the future in Soul Calibur. They don't let the "rules" of the fanbase limit them.

Apparently from what i heard is that the Negan trailer was an actual reenacted homage to a scene that happened on the show.

The various fighters there even stood-in for the specific TWD characters that were there.

I don't know if something like that happened on TWD or not, but Bryan Fury is standing off to the side among Negan's men early in the trailer like he sold the rest of the Tekken folks out.

Otherwise though, yeah. It's pretty much a PG-13 version of his signature scene.

When I say he looks shitty, I'm talking about the character's implementation into the game itself, by the way. His animations are uninspired, the voice direction provided for him is poor, his moveset isn't anything we hadn't seen before, his lip syncing is off despite the fact that the character speaks English in every version of the game - Tekken has quality standards that are not being met here.

I didn't like the fact that Noctis was included, but I have to hand it to them for bringing it with the character - he's got like 5 different costumes, a really flashy, distinct fighting style, lots of fun win poses and animations, and overall it feels like they really cared. I'm not getting that vibe here, but than this is just a trailer.
