User blog:Flippy2K/Tekken 7 Rant

Hiya, SecondOpinion here, and today, i have a rant about Tekken 7, nay, more like expressing my years of disappointment for this game for years. so, let us begin.

I started playing Tekken when i was 3-4 years old. Tekken 3 was my first fighting name. nay, Tekken 3 was my first video game ever. back then i didn't even care about anything. I just pop the game in and kick ass with Hwoarang (my fave character). since then, i got hooked and played every single Tekken game there was (okay, maybe not, but i have played all the main installments).

so when i first heard about Tekken 7, i was HYPED. the game of my dreams (next to Capcom vs. SNK 3), finally coming true. fast forward to a few months later, where the loketest results are available on YouTube, and it all goes downhill from there.

RAGE ARTS? seriously RAGE ARTS? that's the best the dev team came up with?.haven't they learned from SoulCalibur V?. and then we go to the characters.

first character to be unveiled was Katarina. sexy Latina kick chick. Personally, i don't really have much beef with her. she uses a realistic fighting sttle  and she's HOT. so what's to complain?

an then, Claudio.

oh my god, Claudio.

first of all, what is this Bleach reject doing in Tekken? second, he fights with SUPERPOWERS?in Tekken? okay, i know there's the laser-shooting devils, but this guy has a whole moveset of them!

and just when i thought it couldn't get any worse.

Two words:

Lucky

F***ing

Chloe

Edge: "That's three words, Paul!"

i know, i know, but still.

moe-moe kyun in my Tekken? HELL NO!.

first we have Alisa, tgen Claudio, and now we have tgis blatant Marie Rose (from DOA5) ripoff?.

in DOA, i had no complaints abiut Marie Rose, partially because i don't really give a shit about DOA, but also because that's a game with lots of girls that appeal to all types of fetishes, so a moe-moe kyun character is a natural fit there. but in Tekken? that's where i snap.

(and i'm not gonna adress the whole "skinhead" incident because that was confirmed as trolling in Harada's part)

next we have (oh boy) Josie Rizal and Gigas.

personally, i like that after all these years of us Filipinos loving Tekken out of all other fighting games out there, we finally get a Filipino character.

but first, her name.

"Josie Rizal."

which is an altering of the name of our national hero Jose Rizal.

again, personally, i don't mind her name, but here in the Philippines, ANY alteration of ANY national symbol is less than desired. really. this is a country where singing the national anthem wrong gets you a fine.

aside from that, she dosen't even speak Filipino. instead she speaks English. okay, we Filipibos are eloquent in English, but is it too nuch trouble to hire a Filipino voice actor? i mean, we have Christine Marie Cabanos, who's half-Flilipino. why not get her to voice Josie?

Gigas, meanwhile, i would rant about him, but i'm already desensitized to these types of characters, what with all the Alisa bullshit we have.

then came the unveiling of Tekken 7: Fated Retribution.

OMF it's, it's
