What Tekken character would you want in VF?

You may be in the wrong thread. There is a thread against VF ads, but this thread is to ask what Tekken character you would want in VF in future games should such a thing happen.

 

Personally none but for sake of this topic, I guess I'd don't mind Julia or Lili. Julia because she's mixed with various known already MAs already included in VF, and Lili for the sake that she combines MAs with her own unique style of Ballet, makes for a great character in VF imo.

 

These are interesting choices. I find it really cool to read the input of everyone else on this topic because we are all collectively thinking of the best ideas to implement should it happen.

 

Yea but I'd still would rather it be a new character from scratch..maybe with the inspiration of a tekken character? I know they've done this before with Jean as I've heard comparisons to him and Jin in the past. and he turned out to be one of the cooler new VF characters for me. But I'd love for VF to take more risk and not only focus on real life fighting styles but also get creative and make characters with original MAs.

 

I would argue that adding a Tekken character should be essential for Sega to increase visibility amongst newer players. Of course new original VF characters should be included as well, but in my opinion Sega should smartly cast their nets as wide as they can to show people how to "properly" implement a character from another franchise, making them fun, but not over-powered.

That being said, Kazuya I think would be the best pick. There's bleed over from the Smash and Street Fighter scenes (SSBU, SFxT) more so than Jin or even Lars. During the Tekken 7 days, Kazuya was one of the 2 most played characters according to Namco's analytical data (Paul being the 2nd character).

From another marketing angle, Sega could create stingers showcasing Akira vs Kazuya as rivals. This would draw tons of hype for the game as a whole, especially considering if you look at the VF5US intro, Akira is fighting Dural, but how many people outside of VF players are really familiar with Dural in comparison to Kazuya?

Other possible to less likely (hopeful) picks could be Heihachi, Nina, Leroy. If this were back when VF5FS were released, maybe Bruce.

I wouldn't want Eddy as a guest character. Sega should simply use this as an opportunity to introduce a Capoeirista that has a different take on the style (perhaps the more original Angolan variant as opposed to the more familiar Brazilian style).

 

A well respected response! This would make more sense seeing how Ng Mui, the founder of Wing Chun was in fact a woman. Sega better play their cards right and pay homage!!

 

That would be awesome if they did so. Paying homage to the founder of wing chun while also increasing the role of female characters in the game would be a win-win.

 

Yoshimitsu, because he's awesome and weird.

 

I don't think that Yoshimitsu would fit with VF's focus on realism. I 100% agree that he is awesome, but I think that he would not fit naturally into VF.
