I have been playing OO for more than 6 years since it launched. It was the only gatcha I ever actually loved playing seriously because it fulfilled my craving for a proper FF crossover where FF characters interact with each other. So yes this is depressing for me. I'm sad that they never managed to add a lot of characters. Rikku and Red XIII are the obvious ones but there are also ones that I've wished for so long like Edea, Kiros and Ward.

I don't know which gacha I'm gonna latch on to next. I can't even play Ever Crisis since it's region locked in SEA and I lost interest in both WoTV and BE because of gumi being gumi. I'll probably just go back to FGO and continue where I left off in Olympus (fuck the Demeter battle).

I'd wager Tekken 8 being the official "finale" of the Mishima saga, hence why Jun is coming back. Jinpachi? dead. Kazumi? dead. Heihachi? dead.
Jun was literally the only one left to tie loose ends with Kazuya and Jin. I'm just a little annoyed that her return is so abrupt and so mishandled.

Remember when they set up Asuka to be important to the Kazama story? Especially after her ending where she seemingly repressed Jin's Devil curse? Bamco sure didn't. She got roped into her stupid shallow rivalry with Lili, stopped interacting with Jin and any of the Mishimas, and has been completely irrelevant ever since.

Claudio and his organization has seemingly replaced her and the Kazamas's role as the devil gene purifiers.

No males of course. Is this game on it's deathbed? They've deepdived into coomerbaiting and haven't turn back and I generally never hear anything about this game anymore unless a big crossover happens.

I've followed the Tekken series and it' story since the 90's. Excuse me if I'm being very passionate about my discontent in how they handled Jin's character. The story being "shallow" doesn't excuse it being shitty writing.

"I couldn't protect anybody."

Fuck off Jin you shitty fucking character. You're the same guy who started WW3 and killed millions of people all because of a fucking unsourced theory that Azazel was going to remove the Devil Gene in you. Didn't even excuse all the evil shit you did in T6 unrelated to all of that like lying to Eddie about saving his grandpa and forcing Lars and Alisa to kill each other while gloating about it. Didn't protect anybody my fucking ass.

T8's story is already setting him up to be a Jesus savior of the world completely ignoring everything he did in T6 and you know full damn well he's not going to die. He's going to be one of the biggest karma houdini in all of video games. What's worse is majority of people either ignore all of this, justify his actions, or just completely unaware of all the atrocities he did in T6. The general perception of his character is that he's still the noble hero he was before T6.

I used to love this character in before T6 but that fucking game completely ruined his character and the series's story as a whole.

The English localization on the website goes out of it's way to not refer to Bridget with any pronouns, which is very jarring to read, even though his bio still states that he's a boy who was raised as a girl.




Didn't stop them from referring to him with "she" in the in-game profile anyway.

None of the live-action based Disney worlds were ever cartoonishly colorful either. Quadratum is based on real life Tokyo with a graphical style akin to FFXV so the world's color palette is much more subdued. Even the forest area they showed is heavily hinted at to be Endor from Star Wars. Wait until they show Disney worlds based on animated movies. They already teased Hades in the end teaser so Olympus will once again show up as a world for the 100th time and that world in KHIII was one of the most colorful and beautiful worlds in the game especially in the Mt. Olympus area.

You know, I'm not the guy to go in and shit all over the place, but if the guys dared to redesign Ryu of all characters, and literally steal one of his copycat's designs for that, then I've got a bad feeling about this one...

And, I mean, you can't really shrug it off as his Battle Costume, Ryu did not have binding and sandals, but instead has Adon-like cloth on his hand. These mere details create a BIG difference.
Luke looks fine though, legitimately better than any of his SFV Costumes, IMHO.
Edit: changed an example image, the original one was his stance GIF from "Karnov's Revenge".

Fighters History did not invent shirtless Japanese guys wearing fundoshis. It's an archetypical look for 80's action anime protagonists. Momotaro predated them since the 80's and almost every guy in Sakikage wears the look. It's literally their uniform.

Great to see another SNK gatcha ending up becoming just another pure waifu trash. Metal Slug Attack is absolute garbage with this shit and has forever tainted the MS franchise.

bad news: another waste of a development time of sora has been revealed... disappointed!

Love Sakurai and his team go all the hoops for months and even years with various companies (we're talking about the extremely stingy fucks that is Disney here) and we get people like you saying their time doing it all was a waste. Sora was the most requested character in the world by a wide margin and they delivered. Deal with it.

This finally happenned. I'm in tears of joy...! :qq:

The most exciting crossover is now a reality, starting from today!

What is the point of this post? It has nothing to do with Smash and the game itself turned out to be pretty janky. It's not the Smash killer that it's completely overhyped to be.

That was a missed opportunity to call the class "Faker".

DW had one job.

Pretty sure Faker and Pretender are different classes. Faker is a special class Dr. Heart created and named for Fake Hephaestion. A class for fake identities, body doubles and the like.

Pretender seems to be for userpers, false rulers/saviors/prophets and the like which is why when the class's card is introduced it starts off as the Ruler class before changing into the Pretender.

As shown here (leak for Oberon's true identity)...

I wanna say RIP Gang-Il but there's still a slim chance for Kim to team up with him and bring Jhun or May Lee on board.

Now that the game is released on pc the game has finally been datamined.

As shown by the existence of certain folders in the Character folder the 5 dlc characters are...

Not that I don't think the DLC is wrong, but there's a chance that what was leaked may have just been story mode data.

Story character data are in a separate folder. Story NPCs like Vernon and Erika are there too. Those b5 characters are specifically in the folder for playable characters. Their 3d model data are inside too including for one character who didn't show up in story mode besides a cameo but they used a literal image file of their Xrd model for it.

KOF itself is already a crossover between various SNK franchises. If someone told you back then that characters from Fatal Fury, AOF, Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldiers would be in the same game together you would find it ridiculous too.

It's popular globally. One of the most popular shonen today. The hell are you talking about? Also implying Bleach is bad. Really now.
