#TEKKEN 7 SLOW GETTING INTO SESSION ROOM SERIES#

That way characters like Nina or Michelle aren't left in the dust compared to say, Armor King, Paul, or Kazuya, whom of which are EVERYWHERE online. A smaller roster not only means an easier time balancing each character out, but also more DLC character sales, and more usage for each character as well. Why 27? Well, for one, so that the devs have a much easier time balancing out the roster.

:jp: Kuma I (Tekken) | Age: 20-24 in Human Years.:jp: Kazuya Mishima (Tekken) | Age: 26 | Devil Kazuya available as a skin/costume for Kazuya.:jp: Kazumi Mishima (Tekken 7) | Age: 27 (at the time of death), 48 (Posthumously).Jack available as a skin/costume for Jack. :jp: Heihachi Mishima (Tekken) | Age: 52.:grey_question: Armor King I (Tekken) | Age: ?.With that being said, here's the roster. To compensate for some of these characters' absences, however, new 'predecessor' characters will be introduced to the most popular post-Tekken 3 characters. Right off the bat you have the faces of Tekken in both Kazuya and Heihachi, iconic breakouts like Law, Paul, and Yoshimitsu, and the OG Tekken waifus in Nina, Anna, and Michelle.Īnd while a few of these guys have been put on a bus for quite a while (i.e., Wang, Ganryu, and Kunimitsu), with this remake, not only will they be fully fleshed out even better, but also see much more use than they did originally with the smaller roster (especially compared to Tekken 7).Īdditionally, even though this is a remake of the first game, you will expect characters introduced in Tekken 2 (such as Jun, Bruce, and Baek) to appear here as well.Īnd we cut to Noctis giving Xiaoyu the boot, as it'd be anachronistic (unless she traveled 23 years into the past) for her to be in Tekken Shinsei.Īnd for those of you wondering… 'But where's X character?', 'Why isn't my main X in this game?!', 'What the shit kind of roster is this?! Where the hell is X?', do remember that this is a remake of the original game and that it'd be very anachronistic to bring characters introduced from Tekken 3 onwards (such as Jin, Bryan, or Raven) since they're either too young for the game's setting or they weren't born yet. The original roster itself was surprisingly pretty decent. Of course, with this being a FTGU (From The Ground Up) remake, there's very obviously going to be some key differences between the original 1994 game and the 202X remake.Īs such, this is where I come in to talk about those differences.

Not just that, but don't you think it'd be nice if, after everything the series has gone through in the past 25 years, Namco decided to go back to where it all started?

And it's still arguably one of the most popular fighting games to this day, bringing in EVO entries by the thousands and giving Smash a run for its money. Think about it Tekken is turning 25 this year on December 9th. This might sound like a crazy idea, but what if, instead of giving us Tekken 8, Namco instead surprises us with a remake of the original game?
