Is that him with the bandanna mask? That shit is so sick doe!
Like seriously.

Also that full trailer... i dunno what is being said. But it seems like the implication is that like Kazuma and Akuma are like related or something. which is like weird. Like she called up her brother because her husband is acting a fool or some shit.

Good, we'll definitely have some Tekken character next year in SFV. I wonder who, I believe all the iconic characters are already in Tekken 7.

Nina isn't in Tekken 7 yet.

But I will RAGE if NIna is left out of Tekken 7.

Just take Kuma. Everyone adored him in SFXTK.

So is this ue4? I also notice that a lot of the tekken models look remade. Particularly lili and xiaoyu.

Fuck me. This is how Akuma should be, less angsty and more badass. Was that a KKZ at the end or his taunt?

I wonder if this is Bamco testing the waters before dropping TxSF.

Edit: I wouldn't mind if they added some Tekken characters (like Kazuya) to SFV down the line. Those were one of the most interesting things of SFxT.

"Ono (producer of SF4 and 5) said TxSF got scrapped so Capcom is allowing Namco to use Street Fighter characters and re-envision them. Akuma's officially canon in Tekken and more SF characters are coming supposedly in updates."

Damn :-<

Wow that trailer was sick. Pretty hype news. I wonder if it means anything for TxSF? Also as already mentioned, it does perhaps explain Akuma's absence in SFV's first year. I'm not sure what to make of Akuma being incorporated into the story. Is this a formal fusion of the universes (similar to how Final Fight & Street Fighter are in the same universe)?

looks nice. but i mean...is it enough to regenerate interest in the franchise?

Tekken does pretty well, and they are as of currently in arcades making more money than they have ever made on tekken.

So... what ya talking bout? Like tekken 3 stuff? That's a phenomenon. If you use that as the metric than street fighter has been on a steep decline since two. And that's not true, though 3 happened.

A friend of mine translated it frome stream.
Edit: actually he got it from a comment on reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/3whv2y/tekken_7_fated_retribution_akuma_reveal/
 
New outfits or new customizations? Yes, there's a big difference.

Looks great and more in line with what I expect from a Tekken 7. Can't wait to see Yoshi.

Probably not

?

Tekken sells alot. It is the best selling fighting game franchise.

Tekken 6 for example sold more than vanilla SF4. After every console release they move on to the next Tekken game instead of re-releasing a new version of the same game with new updates/characters.

They also make alot of money. They already make a profit with the arcade release and with porting to console they make even more profit. That business decision (arcade first, year later console release) is usually something that pisses of Tekken fans but for Namco its ridiculous $$.
