  • With Tekken 8 right around the corner, it's a great time to remember all the amazing characters in this franchise. And an even better time to remember who could have been in this franchise.

    9:15 Believe it or not there is actually a reason why Nina is wearing a wedding dress, she assassinated a man at his wedding and she stole the brides wedding dress to get close to him...the bride was Anna. That also explains why Anna's costume is a widow's dress.

      Harada has some wacky ideas about who should be in Tekken. Dude wants Colonel Sanders in the game and considered putting Donald Trump in the game.
      (Although tbh some part of me hopes he does circle back around to adding a US president, just because I can't imagine the character not being insane. I don't want a real President, please don't put Trump, Biden, Obama, whoever in the game, just make up a new character who's President in the Tekken universe and is just an exaggeration of how Harada perceives the US/US President(s) generally speaking.)

    @NIDELLANEUM Před 4 měsíci +3

    Trying to imagine what it would have been like if the scrapped Tekken 1 characters stuck around.
    - Walrus Guy: he would have been an early Marduk. Perhaps, there could have been a history between him and King (or Armor King). Maybe, he could have even taken Marduk's place in Tekken 4 (I doubt they would have created Marduk if they already had a big, buff wrestler around), maybe making him more serious and keeping the storyline that Marduk had. I hope so, because try to imagine that infamous King-Marduk-Armor King cutscene, but "Marduk" wears a walrus suit and, probably, makes walrus noises;
    - Mr. Hanuman: Maybe, he could have been among the original generation, and being eventually scrapped. Perhaps, Tekken 7's Fahkumram could have been his apprentice, as we see an older version of him training Fahkumram;
    - Lula, the "Yoga Aura" girl: maybe she could have been an early Xiaoyu/Lili character in terms of "her story is full of typical high school anime shenanigans". Since she was a teenager, this means that, in the "current" generation, she could have been in her 30s. I would have appreciated it, because Tekken's female characters are either schoolgirls/20somethings or, when they are older, there's a reason why they are still youthful looking. Perhaps, she could have been a character akin to Zafina?
    - "Hulk" character: first of all, I can't wrap my head around HOW this was going to be handled, legally. Second, I wonder if he was going to fill the role of either Dr. Abel or Dr. Boskonovitch. Him changing forms could have been something fun, though, because this only ever happens with main characters, or villains (in case of Ogre);
    - The Van Damme-like character: first of all, I wonder how they would have handled having a Van Damme-inspired character while Street Fighter was having a movie adaptation where he was playing the main character. Second, I can see him being used in the same way as Lei Wu Long, with his own storyline inspired by Van Damme's movies. Perhaps, down the line, he could have been asked to voice this character;
    (Side note: for the Tekken live action movie, they planned on featuring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Now, imagine if there was also a character inspired by Jean Claude Van Damme, and then the movie tried to include him. We could have had a Tekken movie wiith Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Jean Claude Van Damme!)
    These characters do seem like they could have changed the tone of Tekken. It was clear that Tekken 1 was meant to have a more colourful, funny angle. What do you think?
