I don't know what all this commosion is about the characterdesign. Who really gives a shit? If they're doing it not to offend some special group, ok then. No biggy!
But the main thing Namco should do about the characters is to cut the roster, remove fucking dinosaurs, bears and whatever. And remove fucking silly things like costumizing with cake on the head, Heihachi in thong, fish in hands, trafficsign on the back etc etc.
It's those things that makes the game look silly, not some random design of a dude. Visually Tekken has always looked really good! I hope they bring it to the next level with Unreal 4 engine!
Remove all customization and animal characters agreed. Leave the silly ting characters for soul calibur. The thing I don't like about the design of the Arab chacter is that he looks too much like ezio and assassins creed characters which are like in every game lately. Do something cool like Hakan in SF4 , okay maybe don't give him blue Lego hair though and red skin.
Tekken always has that anime feeling to it since it started (look at Heihachi's hair style for example) and Kazuya's hair too.
although there are simple costumes but there are complicated design too such as Nina, Xiao, Jinpachi, Lars.. etc
do you know in Yemen (Arabic country) wearing the dagger as part of the their outfits as accessories (they don't necessarily use it)?!! do you know a lot of part in Iraq and arabic countries still wearing their traditional cloths which it looks to foreigners belongs to ancient Arab!!!.
I understand that you guys have a very little or no idea what Arab culture is. so I understand where it comes from that you guys feel he belongs to SC world.
There are manny Japanese characters in Tekken wearing their traditional cloths but you don't feel it's ancient Japanese because most of us know Japanese culture and we know it's a big part of their culture.
Thanks
Who cares how he looks. Animation and move style is most importants. All noobs do is complain.
Just fix Zafina...
I like his oldschool look, but yeah, what is he doing with so many weapons? Are they just for show? He had better not play like SCV Ezio, with lots of projectiles. I hope Tekken does not have any projectiles, or maybe if it does, make them really slow and punishable like Jinpachi's 1+2.
Customisation is an important part of Tekken because there's a huge contingent of arcade players in Japan, Korea etc. who plays Tekken more for collecting items and customizing than necessarily competing.
Where is his suicide vest? Rocket launcher?
Will he have a special tag move where he pushes a burka-clad pregnant woman in front of him so you can’t attack? If we're going for realism, she would then explode in your face screaming Allah Akbar, but that might make him OP.
I will be disappointed if they don’t include this. The Tekken creators never seem to care about making realistic characters though, so I don’t have much hope.
But seriously, we already have Zafina, and she's perfect. Why do we need another arab character?
At least she got a potential bf, lol.
