Tekken is huge at EVO, mind you.

Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, Akuma/Gouki announced as playable character
- Thread starter Rajang
- Start date
Yeah, this is a planned update for the arcades and will be what console versions will be based on. The same as what happened with Tekken 6 and Tag 2.
Yes and most likely will be called Tekken 7 without the sub title.

No reason to suspect it won't be. The console release of Tekken 6 was based of Bloodline Rebellion.

Woah. i won't be surprised if one of the mishima suddenly appear in SF5 as a bonus character. Do it capcom!
Maybe we'll get Jin in 2017.

Akuma looks fucking awesome in Tekken 7. I'll probably pick it up down the road now.
what the...
hard to find proper screenshots for Vanilla version..and FR has weird filters on their screenshots..
Maybe i'm wrong but imo this upgrade seems to be mostly Physic Based Rendering's merit, materials in the second picture are more realistic and different than in the first picture.
bruh, this was announced at a big Tekken 7 tournament in Japan.
Tekken has always been taken seriously in the East. it's less popular in the US, but so what
Akuma is a test bed for TekkenXSF no doubt....
Although i wonder who would win in a fight, Devil Jin Vs Akuma, considering Heihachi is the weakest out of the Mishima's that we know and Jin is canonically the strongest.
I wonder what Akuma's relationship to Kazumi actually is though...

Akuma's footage looked straight out of Street Fighter. I suspect those Hadokens will be op in this game. The few projectiles that exist in Tekken are slow and can be sidestepped or ducked. I wonder how they're going to approach them here.

Crossover characters are becoming increasingly popular in Japanese and Indie titles. Part of their strategy to remain relevant against AAA behemoths.
Also, I have no idea where you are getting your impression from.
This is the first time I have doubted Akuma as a secret character in SFV. It makes sense that they would want to temporarily give T7 Akuma exclusivity in next gen fighters to increase the draw.

Wasn't Tekken 3 pretty much a reboot? Certainly the most successful time jump in a fighting game series commercially... although SF3 and MOTW are still fantastic games in their own right.
it's definitely not huge at evo
yeah I know, it was inaccurate to say nobody, but I feel it's very odd how small the competitive scene is in relation to Tekken sales. I think Tekken as a competitive fighter has declined since its peak (Tekken 5).
As seen from the snippets of footage in the trailer, can be sidestepped. Also no block damage in Tekken
Digging the 4,3 kick into !S
Not sure if it would be considered a reboot but I do agree it's the best time jump in fighting game. Tekken 3 basically established modern Tekken.
You weren't trolling? More lol.
Tekken just had close to 1000 entrants at MasterCup.
I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm impressed, yet disappointed. Now that akuma is in the this, then Tekken X Street Fighter is not forgotten. I'm disappointed that this trailer should've be announced after Tekken 7's release.

"I don't have time for street fighting. I need to destroy the Mishima bloodline!"
And thus ends the Mishima saga.
I expect this.

"Kazuya.... I am your father."

Surprising how much more they've managed to push the graphics... especially when Tekken 7 is known to have short freezes here and there.
I wonder if they've upgraded the hardware in line with an inevitable PC version announcement.

So you're changing the narrative already? It's easily the largest 3D fighter in the west and one of biggest fighting games world wide competitively.
And you people need to stop calling Lili ugly. Cold hearted monsters.
I have no words right now. Legit shook that Akuma is in T7, and instead of being a guest character they're actually tying him to the canon, making him a part of the universe? Fuuuuuuck yesssssssss!
And the graphic updates, hoooooly shit. Our little Xiaoyu finally grew up! ;_;
I never stopped believing in TxSF!!!
All of my hype yassssssssssssssssssssss!
My main, my bae, looking good!
I wanna see Jun with this upgraded tech. Harada-san pls!!

To think she became my main 11 years ago.
Tell me about it. OG T7 looked really underwhelming. It's starting to look actually current-gen.
More like they had not polished up their engine enhancements for the initial Arcade release and have been doing so since then. Comparing SF5 launch trailer to today, its similar in jump.
I don't think it has much to do with stronger HW.

Harada, you surprised me. I didn't expect the graphic upgrade and Akuma. Well done, now there are multiple reasons to buy tekken 7.
Wait a minute, this is from the Tekken 5 intro.
What a statement, they're pushing real-time graphics that surpass the CG Tekken 5 intro.

That tragic moment where the only way to get people interested in Tekken nowadays is to include Street Fighter characters. How the tables have turned.
