The rule of cool never changes though Cyber. Only personal taste.
100% chance IMO. I don't see why anyone thought T6 as the initial arcade release would not see improvements. Everything they are doing optimization wise is just their software rendering getting more refined, getting more comfortable with UE4.

He's just stubborn.
As lewis black said, the eviler you are the longer you live. As long as he's fueled by the fire of being a cheating coward. He will live forever.
I feel like Akuma would see a lot of Ryu in Jin, especially with Jin fighting his inner demon.
While still wearing his diapers
Ain't nobody more pimp than Mokujin tho. He won't even wake up from sleep unless there is bad enough dude to stop shows up
Maybe why he ain't in Tekken 7....

This trailer really makes me want to get into Tekken again!
I'm really interested to see how Akuma will fit canonically into the story and how he'll play in the Tekken engine. This should give us a nice preview of TKxSF.

Well in SFXT, Ryu and Jin were the legitimate heroes.

Based on the trailers, Jin wanted to meet Ryu as friends so he could help him in some way, presumably to find a way to control the devil gene like Ryu controls the satsui no hadou.
But Kazuya found him first and started his offensive.
So i think its basically assured that both Harada and Ono see this link between Jin and Ryu

My theory is that the player base is aging out. The average Tekken player can't "get it up" for what he once got excited about 21 years ago. I think a more mature grounded story could reignite the West.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was really freakin good, shame that it didn't sell better. Hope this entry is at least as good.

A shame this didnt get shown at PSX or somewhere else.
I want to hear a crowd react to that bad ass Akuma reveal.

Same deal as Capcom Cup with Fang
At the end of very hype Tekken world tournament.
PSX would have indeed blown it up way more too.
Never gets old
To be fair, Interpol didn't take too kindly to Jin's (successful) plan to lure out Azrael. Though Chun-Li does have respect for Jin, so she must be aware of the good he has done in the past.

What was the deal with TTT2 not doing all that well? Or at least not by the publishers expectations.

Oh ok. Didnt realise this was at the big Tekken Tournament. I thought Namco just randomly dropped the trailer.
If there is video of the live reaction I need to see it. Love me some crowd reactions.

I think I'll pick this up. I always get excited for Tekken before I realize I can't play it.
Does this game have like a weird green-yellow filter on all the visuals?

That's pretty much the order, though Heihachi did defeat Devil Kazuya in Tekken 2.
Kazuya himself hasn't decisively won a tournament since the first one. In Tekken 6 all he did was wait until Jin was unconscious after he fought Azazel and was like "look everyone I won"
And Blood Vengeance pretty much showed how strong Heihachi was compared to vanilla Jin and Kazuya as he pretty much beat the brakes out of the both of them (even juggled Kazuya in the air) until Jin was able to outsmart him at the end and thrown him through the wall down the cliff (of course he came back like he always does but still)
Though I do wonder where Jinpachi fits in the rankings, he was only in one mainline game but he's still a Mishima.
Then you have Lars...

Tekken 6 was a less than stellar console port with bad netcode. I think TTT2 was a great game but its less than stellar sales were problably just blowback from Tekken 6.
Here is part of the tourny and when the trailer is dropped. Starts at 7hr 21min with trailer and then reaction. Crowd is chill and commentators discuss.
http://www.twitch.tv/tekken/v/29458459
Game had nothing for casual players. I'm surprised it even managed to sell 2 million.
Do we really have to include Lars? Do we really?
I dunno, i've always hated Lars for some reason. Just some dude they added to over-complicate things even more.

I somewhat agree. It's a lot like UMvC3, online against regulars, it's competitive beyond words. I don't mind it because I can win, but if I had not played as much Tekken as I have in the past then it would have been kinda hard to get into.
I remember playing Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 in the arcades growing up. A lot of players would hit the machine if you knew the frame advantage. Chances are quite a few don't play because the bounce system can take crazy damage already. Throwing in the Tag option doubles the damage.
I haven't complained because TTT2 is a lot of fun, but I feel like I'm more of an automatic fan than some and that's after I get beat too.
Tekken to me, has always been a game that makes people stop and watch what's going on. I sorta lost that vibe with T5 and so forth, but I owned the vast majority of console and handheld titles ever since I had a PS1. I don't mind it at all. I know if I ever had someone from the past come back, who was competitive, they'd probably say a 9-12 hit juggle that takes 80% of your life away is cheap and not fun. Tekken is like MvC3 in a way because you just gotta catch them maybe once or twice and that's all their health.

Tekken 7 console release has gotta have some of those 'casual' extra modes like Tekken Ball. I miss that stuff.
Me talking out of my ass:
Asura's Wrath lore becomes part of Tekken Universe. Heihachi finds the statue of Akuma and stores him inside his dojo. Asura's statue is nowhere to be seen. One day, Kazumi enters the dojo and her devil genes are strong enough to bring Akuma to life. Akuma considers this his debt to her and here where are now.

Open to anything.
Especially if i get to have Asura again in either T7 or SFV.
That small thing wasn't enough
Then Asura comes out, rips Akuma and the Mishima's to pieces and then destroys the entire world. THE END.

I just look at him as Lee Chaolan 2.0
A pretty boy they try to shoehorn into the main storyline by making him related to Heihachi in some form then a few games down the line they forget about him.
Then lord Raiden travels back in time to destroy the statue and take control of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Tekken abandons its story arcs to soon. Very few of them are ever satisfying in any way.

Okay Ono, can I have canon Kazuya in SFV now please?
I'd rather have Jin after the way he played in SFxT.
This is pretty dope, though, and maybe will make for some pretty dope character additions in both games. I'd guess this is the reason we don't have Akuma at launch in SF5.

Only to be stopped by a reawakened Soul Edge fragment which transforms him into the new Nightmare.
On topic: Was glad to see this earlier today. It's been a while since I last heard of anything Tekken-related so this are the best news I could have.
Now, it's all a matter of getting a PS4...
Heihachi seemed to have only fought regular Kazuya in T2.
"Unaware of Devil's presence, Heihachi casts the lifeless Kazuya into a fiery volcano."
http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/tekken3/
Yea.
Akuma is one of my favorite characters in SF but he always seemed very one-dimensional as a character. It's great to see him get more depth in this story.
But what's the actual depth? Did he have an affair with Heihachi's wife? Is he her bodyguard? We need more.
Isn't the current Kazyua a clone that came back in 4?

That's odd, seeing as how Devil Kazuya is the final boss in T2.
I just assumed that Heihachi threw his ass in a volcano to kill Kazuya and the Devil for good. He knew about Jin having it, that's why he wanted the devil gene to see if he can combine his and Ogre's DNA
Nah, his body was blown apart and they(G Corporation) managed to reform him through cellulite technology
Another weird thing is in T4, Kazuya needed Jin's devil gene to become Purple Devil again.
But in Kazuya's T5 prologue, he became Purple Devil anyway.

don't forget that it was Paul that beat regular Ogre in Tekken 3. He thought he won the tournament and walked away, but then Ogre transformed into True Ogre and that's when Jin defeated him.

Very excited to see how they wrap up the story - I've always loved the narrative and hope it ends on a high note.
I've always been a Jin man myself so hopefully he finally puts an end to it all.
