Tekken 7 Adds Character Pixel Art as Player Icons & Teases Secret Character

Tekken 7 recently updated to include the newest time release character Yoshimitsu but it's also adding another small little detail to the game. Available on Tekken-net starting today are a series of small Tekken character pixel art which you can have show up on screen during a Tekken 7 match under your Player portrait and DAN rank just as a small quirky detail. The amount of characters you can pick are small for now but more character pixel art is being added in weekly on Tuesdays starting with Heihachi then moving onto other characters like Gigas, Leo and Shaheen (which are available on the 2nd of June.) A more interesting piece of info regarding this announcement is that there is a small Tekken 7 'secret' character pixel art being teased, you can actually see it in the banner above on the top left. Anyone have an idea on who it might be?! I've added some more complementary images on this below to give you some ideas!

Tekken 7 - Josie Rizal Movelist Rundown

Josie Rizal has been out in Japanese arcades for a small period of time now but it wasn't until the 28th of April did Korea finally get the chance to play as her. And with that, the official Korean Tekken-net website has updated with her movelist and the Game Plaza Gao arcade has once again provided a complete movelist video for Josie which I'll be using for this rundown. Given a brief glance at her movelist, she shares a lot of similarities with Bruce Irvin from previous Tekken games however she has her little own spin on the moveset. She'd probably be a great place to start if any Bruce players were looking into getting into Tekken 7. Let's begin.

Soul Calibur Series Character Popularity Poll

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe is hosting a Soul Calibur series popularity vote on the official SoulCalibur Facebook page and they want the player's opinions on which character from the series is the most popular. The poll which was recently open gives everyone the chance to think over and vote for their characters from now until the end of this month (May 31st). It should go without saying that to participate in the vote, you need to have a Facebook account to send your player feedback which ends up in Bandai Namco as player research data. Alongside the poll, the Facebook page also teases that Project Soul is preparing something huge for the series so this may well be worth keeping an eye on if you're a fan of the series. And hopefully it's something not related to Lost Swords.

Tekken 7 - Josie Rizal Unlocked for Arcades on April 21st!

The newest character that was revealed for Tekken 7 is set to be unlocked in arcades (Japanese ones at least, Korea seems to be delayed.) on April 21st from the recent update on the Tekken Official website. For those who don't know, Josie Rizal is a fighter hailing from the Phillipines with the Eskrima and basic kick boxing fighting style. She was designed by Mari Shimazaki who you may remember from Bayonetta and the name was suggested by MarkMan as a homage to José Rizal. You can look forward to seeing her in matches and hopefully a complete movelist/combo rundown in Practice mode next Tuesday. (April 21, 2015)
