Theory On Our Mystery Character

Some clever Tekken fans out there have noticed that the new mystery character shares the same medallion worn by Julia. Could this be an excuse to bring back Michelle? Or perhaps this is a rival character to Julia in the story arch.

Iv'e even read on some zaibatsu forums of ppl calling her ''Queen"! which is wierd but I do hope it's an entierly new character. She look's pretty cool. Very agile and acrobatic.

For the sake of adding fuel to the fire, Julia herself was one of the special fights for King in T5...

Appreciate the close-ups by the way, Aris. Truly top-tier.

But Michelle was not a wrestler

@Forest
I think the post means that they changed Julia's style so they have an excuse to bring back Michelle to keep Julia's style in the game without Julia going away.

If they are bringing back Michelle by making her a wrestler or something like that due to the same fighting styles, then Jun should be a traditional Mishima this time around so her and Asuka wont clash on styles. TTT Angel/Jun would be super tight.

Michelle and julia both have wrestling throws

Alright, my new theory is this:

Ganryu is hosting/sponsoring the tournament (00:27 in the trailer) and he won't let Julia compete unless she marries him or something so she creates this new masked persona to trick him and compete unnoticed.

I don't think that's too crazy, but I'm kinda tired so maybe I'll think differently tomorrow.

Makes sense that its Julia since its Ganryu's dream and he'd want to see her in skimpier clothing..

Honestly I think this all is just a smart marketing strategy used by Namco to attract players by employing close-ups of cleavage :D

it is probably michelle

@ Rip: How could they possibly make Michelle/Jilia's outfits any skimpier? All they currently wear are short shorts and a bikini top/bra. I do not see them changing Julia Chang for TTT2. Why change such a well balanced and developed character? It might be Michelle, but I really doubt it. I think it is an entire new character who probably just shopped att eh same store as the Chang family lol! Joking. Why do people like insomnotek and many other people think Lee Chaolan is gay? In his ending movies he always has a girl with him. Maybe it is his win poses from the past. Like in Tekken 4, some of his win poses did not leave much to the imagnation.

In conclusion, no, I think it is a completely new character.

I also think it's Michelle. I was about to point out the Michelle did have at least one wrestling throw but yiggs beat me to it :)

@forest They could just give Julia's style back to Michelle you know, if she's in the game they have to change one of them.

Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 4:05 AM | Unregistered CommenterQuadrupledragon

More likely to be Michelle, because I don't see them changing Julia's moveset as it will fuck her up for future canon releases of the game. Tekken 7 and so on...

I also would like to see Jun as a female mishima. Kazuya could have resurrected her in G-corp or something. That would allow asuka's atyle to remain and we would have the female mishima people have been asking for,

They just better finally give Kaz his devil form back in this game.

I dont get why people are disbelieving that its Julia. there are ALOT of Clues on why it can be her. Personally i think Harada but those clues there to help people guess that its her then something completely bogus and retarded. i mean i heard some real stupid shit already, like its Michelle's other adopted daughter or it could be Michelle herself or my favorite one! its Christie. I mean come on, none of these even sound right. so please could you discuss this and say your opinions about "?" on the next Avoiding the puddle. thanks~

I think if could be another Chan, like Julia's older sister instead of her mom. She's too tall to be Julia herself, and her and Michelle are close to the same height. Or she could be a friend of the family or cousin but there is a connection to the Chan's though.

Harada confirmed that JayCee=Julia Chang. But they're kidding me -- Jay (^_^) is my favorite character, and I don't understand WHY they changed such a great character. Good that they didn't touch Asuka^^ :DD This ain't Michelle. As I remember, Michelle was at ttt2 herself.
Harada and others, you are dunnos! ><

P.S. Why did they make Asuka so dread-looking at ttt2?! >< I didn't recognize her 'til i found a text below.
