Is Tekken making fun of Americans?
>can't pronounce "Hworang"
>so we'll just call him "Bob"
>BanNam is like "NOPE, FUCK YOU, NOW WE HAVE A BOB"
Bob could be Canadian tho
>>345393843
Not at all, bob was a fucking beast in tekken 6/BR
Can he ever be balanced? His array of "lows into mids" is unholy.
Its a fact that all americans are fat
Bob pisses me off as a character. The amount of jump, spin, and flip kicks the guy does completely disregards the fact that you'd break your ankles being that obese. His whole story makes no fucking sense.
So who is master Raven? What happened to guy Raven?
>>345394396
Speed and weight equals power
>>345394163
Which is in North America.
>>345394535
>weight
>and speed
>>345394535
Wonder how he bulked up without making himself out of shape.
Usually things like protein shakes are there to build muscle, not gut.
>>345394535
except you'd have no speed being that fat. Ever. Not in a million years.
>>345394163
He is, actually.
>>345394610
To be fair, Rufus is even more egregious.
But that probably didn't make you feel any better.
>>345393843
Yes and No. Bob is a genuinely chill and cool guy
Bob's fighting style is specifically geared for his weight, as evidenced by the fact Slim Bob knocks himself down whenever he tries to use his gut to attack.
Oh I get it. You're making fun of the fact he's actually really fucking good.
>>345395207
Too good, actually.
He needs to be nerfed. He gets away with far too much shit. Only character more OP is probably Lars (and in 7 he kind of sucks so that could only help Bob's standing).
>>345393843

>>345396229
That's Raven's fighting style...wonder why they changed him to female.
>>345396547
it's raven's master not raven
>>345396547
He became a master, and in his clan, that means becoming a woman.Nah, just kidding. He just fell into a cursed spring.
>>345396707
She looks younger than him.

>>345397495
>It's a /v/ whines about a waifu episode
Just admit you're gay already
>>345394610
If you have the muscular framework underneath it all, you can. You'd be fucking surprised how fast a fit-fat can move. It's actually really scary. Seeing 400 pounds of flesh coming at you is intimidating as fuck.
>>345396229
This is fucking disgusting.
Like SCV tier garbage.
>>345394396
Why are there so many people like you, anon? I had a guy get extremely asshurt at a local after I mollywhopped him as Birdie and he wouldn't shutup about how much he hated fat characters for almost an hour. Same reason people get mad any time a Rufus used to take rounds.
>>345397756
I played college linebacker and am 6'2'' 270 lbs and people are always surprised how fast and agile I am even thoughI'm black
>>345397817
I get mad about Rufus because divekick pressure is for one-note tryhards.
>>345393843
>more weight equals more speed equals more POWER
>his skinny version is ashamed as fuck over his lack of weight
Bob's just a fun character that happens to be American.
Not if he's high tier again, I'm sure.
>>345396229
This one I'm not a fan of.
>>345397495
OH GOD, THEY WERE EVEN RUINING TEKKEN ALL THE WAY BACK WITH 4 WHEN CHRISTIE WAS THE DEFAULT, NOT EDDIE.
>>345397883
I tried picking up Rufus around AE2012 because I always kinda liked his design. You'd be surprised how much work he was outside of his winning matchups.
looks like jonah hill
I could tolerate her design if her hair was not an abomination
You were almost perfect Tekken 7
>>345398616
Tekken 7 has been fairly meh so far, no need to sugarcoat it.
I'm not sure if these recent additions did much, really. Akuma still remains the only really interesting shake-up so far.
>>345398723
I just wanted a Tekken game without Bob and the Capos
>>345393843
Is he gonna accidentally turn thin in his ending again?
>>345396229
Literally black Ibuki.
>>345398858
Did you appreciate Lars's reduced bullshit quotient?
Pissed me off a fair bit. Killed quite a bit of his effectiveness as someone who mains him.
>>345398948
I used him in Tag 2 too, and honesty he needed it. Shame about old df2 being gone though
>>345399676
Can't knock down with b+1+2, can't knock down with SE 2, 1+2 sacrificed to make room for the Rage Art...
How long til someone on /v/ makes a shitposting "sjws ruin Tekken" thread and all future Tekken 7 threads quickly devolve into sjw and /pol/ shitposting?
>>345399913
Idolm@ster already ruined Tekken.
And Harada has terrible waifu tastes.
>>345393843
WHAT THE FUCK GUYS? HOW DARE THEY FUCKING MAKE FUN OF US LIKE THAT!
>>345400095
>And Harada has terrible waifu tastes.
Forehead girl isn't that bad.
One of Bob's custom items in Tekken 6 was a burger that would sit on top of his head and teeter around during the fight.
Kind of humorous. Sort of wish it comes back.
>>345393843
I want that shirt
>>345396229
Fucking trannies
>>345394168
dude he literally stops bullets with his mondo belly
what a fucking badass, why can't fat people block bullets half as well as this nigga
>>345394594
>>345394610
IT'S A FUCKING VIDEO GAME
>>345394610
>tekken
>realism
>>345393843
Why is he wearing a button-up shirt under another button-up shirt? And what's up with that belt on his right thigh?
>>345400453
Well Heihachi caught a bullet in his mouth fired from about five steps away.
>>345393843
Look at slim Bob though. Plus even fat Bob is a bad ass
Fat people are funny and fat shaming is something I will endorse until the day I die.
>>345397876
It's just a skin color dude, no need to worry about it.
>>345400942
You can't exactly fat shame Bob since his plan worked like a charm.
>>345393843
I'm glad Bob exists because now I can cosplay as a video game character
>>345400308
Playing as Bob with that hat and the cammo outfit made Tekken 6 worth playing.
>>345393843
Was fat Bob good? He was better than skinny Bob I think right?
>>345396229
Raven's Kunimitsu?
>>345401359
Bob was high tier in all the games he's in. Slim Bob was only in Tag 2 and I don't know much about him.
>>345401359
He's really really good.
>>345401359
Very good. He dominated the Tekken 6 scene (IIRC the first year it was at Evo all you saw in top 8 were Laws and Bobs). Even after the Mishimas came back strong in TTT2, Bob still had a lot of presence.
I honestly don't expect a lot to change here. His entire moveset is built around overwhelming force.
>>345396547
Maybe Raven is a moniker
>>345402430
I already think that now. It's like Yoshimitsu naming himself after his sword.
>>345394573
>all of north america is the USA
>>345394396
>Mfw I main Bob and piss niggers off who play Bruce and Eddie
>my main is a girl now
I don't know what to think about this.
>Master Raven's walk during the trailer
My dick became fully erect.
>people kept complaining about there being no black characters
>instead of bringing one back, they take one's moveset and give it to a black scandily clad titty monster
As it should be.
>>345394521
That prancing beta SJW faggot Mark Julio/Markman happened. He's the reason why Bruce and Raven was replaced with Josie Rizal and Master Raven.
It bugs me because a few years back there was an anon that kept calling him out for doing shady shit when he was still employed at madcatz, but I wasn't buying into it because it sounded like a bunch of crap. In retrospect, I was a tier whore back then who thought SFxT was going to be the greatest thing on earth, so...
>>345396547
Markman suggested it to Harada.He probably complained and threw a tantrum until Harada caved.
>>345397495
It's not Harada. It's Julio/Markman. Same thing with Josie replacing Bruce.
>>345405098
What you're saying doesn't even make sense. Tekken has always had a lot of different ethnicities, nationalities, and a good amount of male and female characters.
Also the reason Bruce was replaced was because he was not a popular character. When he was really good people would use him, but otherwise he generated little fanart, fan devotion, etc... People didn't like him as a character so taking his moveset and changing it up makes sense. Besides Josie has a lot of her own stuff.
The thing with Master Raven is probably similar. Raven saw little actual play though that likely had more to do with him not being all that great as he is a fairly popular character and people were pumped for him in SFxT where he was much stronger.
And no one in their right mind can say Master Raven is pandering to liberals with how heavy the fanservice on her is. It's one of the heaviest in the entire game if not the heaviest since Anna is gone. She has the most jiggle, largest breasts, and a lot of exposed skin
Has anyone made a webm of the part where Master Raven is walking toward the camera? The jiggle is definitely next gen technology
>>345394396
That's the joke you idiot.
What is it with nips and athletic fat people?
>>345398164
The only SJW working there is Mark Julio. He literally came from San Diego and a few years back, there were a few anons that complained about all the shit he was doing when he worked at Madcatz.They went ignored and everything they complained about eventually ended up being true.
It's a wonder he never got fired, arrested or even prosecuted and even more insane that NBGI actually hired him.
How /v/ can turn around and act like it's a surprise now is just plain depressing.
>>345399913
That's already happened before when they announced one of the characters wasn't making it in the western release.
>>345393843
yes, so what? i'm a fat american and i love bob
anyone who can't laugh at themselves is a faggot
>>345393843

Well, no duh. He had a huge hate-on for Bruce when T6 was still only in arcades. The remarks like the 'half-baked tony jaa' line and the other stuff he bashed on about wasn't exactly subtle.

>john belushi is back
fuck yeah. I love Bob
do you think that tekken 7 will be a good game for players looking to get into fighting games?
Fighting games are fucking dead
>>345393843
How old are you? Bob isn't new and he's far from the first character that is a tubby martial artist in film, animation or games..
>>345396547
I don't follow. Is this Bait? How are any of you surprised? I thought /v/ was the first board that got warned about this.
Not my loss anyway. So long as Yoshimitsu's in, I'm golden.
>>345405351
He was a wimp about admitting the SFxT con and he was salty about being blown up at the one KI3 press event when he pulled a Flava Flav with an arcade stick. At this point, I'm sure the FGC could just do without him.
>>345407453
I think pretty much the whole staff had it in for Bruce.
Lei barely acknowledges him in Tekken 5+ despite the fact that they both debuted as each other's rival in 2.
>>345408746
Dude I honestly forgot who the fuck Bruce even was.
Was it that much of a loss to some people?
>>345408862
I mained him since 5, but hey, the new Flip chick has his moves and then some, so nothing of value was lost.
>>345408746
>Whole staff had it in for Bruce
HAHAHAHAHA-no. Not after that T5 revamp he had, hot off the heels of the Muay Thai boom that broke out after Ong Bak and the Protector.
The whole staff had it in for Julia ever since T3. She's a huge non-factor and a huge deal of her moves looked like they were all better-suited for other characters up until T6 when they actually fixed her and stopped making her a hodgepodge of ill-fitting animations like Necrid from SCII.
>>345405098 >>345405582
>>345407453 >>345408746

Or we can say that those hemogenized Asians HATE Blacks with a passion. They think we're apes and such; and this is exactly why we should create our own video games.

???
>>345409616
Hate Black men, I mean.
>>345409798
Oh, who cares then?

Blacks are like a large chunk of demographics, next to Latinos, to look out for. Unless, of course, you don't like "making more money."

Canada is part of the Americas, therefore we are American
retard
So not only did they clone-over Raven, but they also did it in such a way that basically steath-deconfirms Kunimitsu.
W H Y ?
I never complained once about Lucky Chloe because she's a unique and new playstyle. Gigas was excusable because it was only ONE character who got cloned-over.
Josie Rizal was an absolute insult since that's two clones down from Bruce and a replacement over him, but now just putting this in over Raven is just plain lazy.

>>345410395
That's only a notion widely accepted in Latin America, mate, where the proper term for inhabitants of the USA is "Estadounidiense". Pretty much anywhere else in the world "American" would preferably refer to a citizen of the United States.

>>345401449
Exactly, and apparently this is an SJW tactic.
Same anon here as >>345411554
Let's slow this topic down for a second.
Last I checked Markman was an arcade stick peddler that only had a good public reputation with elitist fgc players that can't breathe without a tier list.
How is it that nobody approves of Anita's Loki-level SJW douchebaggery, but everybody's suddenly sucking Markmans' Thanos-grade bullshit?
If that asshole is actually employed at Namco, then what the actual fuck happened and how?
>>345394396
It's an old trope in fighting games. Japs love flying fatties.
Bob's hardly the first one. Him and Rufus in SF4 were just bringing it back.
>>345411892
The correct answer is to ignore and stop posting, otherwise, it's a catch-22 to defend yourself on an anonymous imageboard.
The worst bit of all is that it's actually an ingrained habit that SJW's can't leave drama alone, so they never stop replying and/or make efforts to stop trying to clear their name out of an old ego-protecting force-of-habit despite being anonymous.
Begin ignoring and cease responding and it will be the only proof that you aren't an SJW or potentially Markman... but you can't even do that because you have to much pride or your force of habit is just that damn autonomous.
>>345393843
I was away all day, Bob was announced for T7? He looks great. Love this new outfit for him.

>>345413119

This is why folks like you never get good things. You have shit tastes, and you'd commit suicide if your favorite places to be assholes (like imageboards) were taken away from you.

>>345408283
not really, tekken is notorious for being cold and unforgiving to newcomers in every sense
the learning curve gets super steep very fast, you'd more than likely quit before you start improving
although they're supposedly designing T7FR in a way that is more welcoming to newcomers so take from that what you will
>>345415364
>uses the 'swings both ways' fallacy to dodge the accusation.
Not the same person here, but I'm just saying, I hope you realize it's a trap.
>>345415458
So I guess that means Michelle, Alex, Prototype Jack, King 1, Armor King 1 and Jun Kazama Also aren't Canon by your logic.
>>345416835
Yes.
>>345416638
tekken isn't cold and unforgiving at all. it's one of the most basic fighters out there. t. 7th dan after 200hrs of online play in TTT2
don't care about any of the new characters as long as best girl is in.
>>345417937
not trying to belittle you here, but green rank isn't something you should brag about, especially online and on a TAG spinoff
TTT2 is a very solid game, but the focus shifts from the core game mechanics, into the tag mechanics, which makes sense, its a TAG spinoff after all
not to say that the traditional tekken mechanics don't matter, they do, it's just that they're overshadowed by spinoff mechanics that possibly won't carry over to future tekken games (if we ever have more tekkens)
>>345418663
no I'm saying that I suck ass at the game but it isn't unforgiving, I just literally cannot get good because I don't pay attention to other characters. I know the ins and outs of Jin Kazama (he's my favorite character in the series), but what good is that if I don't know any other characters? absolutely no good. You can't fight ABC as 123 if you do not know ABC. there's a reason why the phrase "know your enemy before you strike the first blow" is common.
>>345418947
i probably worded that pretty badly, what i was trying to say was tekken is a hard game to "become good" at and feel good about it, the amount of effort and time put into learning the basics of the game is disproportionate and i feel that it is unfair for newcomers to get their shit pushed in because they can't backdash cancel as effectively or whatever
not to say i'd like to remove the definitive skill gap entirely, but a newcomer should be able to at least see and understand his own mistakes while losing, instead of getting consistently CH'd and launched without knowing what's going on, i believe this is why the tekken scene is relatively small compared to other fighters, it just throws you in there with no sense of direction
>>345409506
>this is exactly why we should create our own video games.
I agree that this is a good idea, and yet how long have blacks been trying to do anything on their own and failing? I'm not saying that they shouldn't keep trying, but it's been very slow progress. Personally, I would be impressed if a black game company made a game for black people.
As for Master Raven, I'm glad they finally put in a black woman with hair that's not as "white".
>>345410680
/v/ isn't white.
>>345419818
I guess it's a tough balancing job. I've seen other games go to the other extreme of making it "fair" for newcomers, but in the end those games do it by making the gameplay shallow. Personally I like what DOA did with the built-in tutorial in 5LR. Very helpful in explaining a lot of things. That at least gives newcomers a chance.
Still waiting for Julia
>>345401359
Bob is so good that they hit him with significant nerfs twice and he's still top tier. He's better than skinny Bob cause he doesn't reel back whenever he hits people with his gut and he has better options off his dash grab.
So is everyone gonna ignore Master Raven's fantastic latex tit jiggle?
>>345396229
Nice, I liked Raven for his moves but getting Hot piece of ass girl Raven seems like a good trade.
>>345393843
Nah, Bob's just got favoritism attached since he was pro's choice in Tekken 6 and I believe also pretty good in TT2. He's probably one of the better done characters of that archetype overall as well.
Still pulling for my boy Miguel though, and Julia would be nice. Supah cop, if there's any justice in the world, should be a lock.
>>345394396
Imagine for one fucking minute the amount of training those calves go through every day supporting this fat bastard. Now imagine this fat asshole lunging on those bison thighs, plowing through enemies harder than black men on your mother, with enough fat left over to hibernate for 15 years when he's finally sent to prison for murdering the entire cast of Tekken.

I totally agree with this. Though I admit that her outfit is a little out there, even by Tekken standards. Then again, we need female ninjas that look different in fighting games.

Never play fighting games ever again.
>>345405098
Whats wrong with Josie Rizal?
As a flip I find her cute. Still naming her after the nations hero is kind of a bit too pandering and perhaps they should've given her a more typical name like Kristin or Pepang or whatever the fuck we rice eaters usually use.
