Damn, I really like Lee and Bruce and to a lesser extent Marduk. :(

There will be time release characters added later and hoping that it is not just new characters added but old aswell.
Having new characters is indeed very tempting, but bringing back old favs does service to the fans.

They cut the roster down to 40 characters (a little less even, I think), so a few of our favourite characters have to leave.
Yeah I know that but I'm just wondering if that report can be trusted. I think it was a gaffer who had talked with a representative of the team. So I guess it's highly likely true.

I guess they'll be adding characters in similar fashion as Revolution. The big difference is remodeling characters in new engine and artstyle. I have no idea if the models are build from ground up or upgraded from base T6/Tag2 models but that could be time consuming either way. Rest is straightforward.

1 character per 3-4 months seems reasonable. Unless like Revo they just stop working on the game.

Harada also said that there are gonna be time release characters who are new.

I'm just scared of what horror Namco might have planned for the other brand new characters coming as time release. After LC I can't trust Namco anymore. Of course I might get lucky with an awesome design like Shaheen, but their recent rack record isn't giving me a lot of hope.

Getting rid of Bruce would be a big mistake, and I don't even use him

Look at his popularity among American online players

Giving somebody else his move set would be a terrible idea

The casual players I know also REALLY like Lee's "Acid Storm" or whatever it's called lol

I'm repeating myself by I don't believe they are getting rid of anyone.(Tag2 clones don't count.)

The single only reason that not everyone is there right now is that T7 is clearly rushed and it probably will take them until late next year to put back all the characters in.

I mean guys, let's think logically here. Tekken, famous for cultural diversity, Harada himself proud of that.

You think they suddenly cut off all Black characters or most of the women? Not counting iconic characters like Kuma who's been in all Tekken's, more then Kazuya. Jack. Come on. Will someone bet one cent that Jack with number 7 won't pop in this game?

Same goes for the rest.

You're probably right when it comes to Tekken, but it's worth noting that Soulcalibur 5 did all of those things, and no update was thought necessary to change that

Just pointing out that Namco wouldn't stop them
 
SCV had a different director in charge for starters.
Lack of a good budget
Pressed for time
SC while has a big following is not as popular as Tekken
With the short time they had they decided to get rid of fan faves in exchange for carbon copies.

As bad as some exclusions in Tekken 7 might be it still wont be as bad as that game.
Shaheen's model gives me hope for the game in general as far as aesthetics are concerned.

I just want Bruce, Miguel and Jin back at this point. And some new characters. I know I won't get Michelle, Wang, Angel, Jun and those Tekken 2 characters but that is okay.

Also:

Shaheen > Lucky Chloe > Katarina = Claudio.

Bruce, Lee, Anna, and Marduk are the 4 essential characters that need to be in the final roster but are in danger of not making it. Other characters like Nina, Jin, Yoshimitsu, Jack, and Lei, we already know already know are too iconic and will make it in.

I wonder how often they'll release a character. It can't be every 3-4 months as mentioned, if we are at around 22 characters now, and we'll end up at probably 35, give or take. That would be 4 characters in a year. So I guess every few weeks we'll get a time-release character?

Weeks at a time makes more sense to me than 4 months at a time.
I have a feeling the console release wont be too far off from now like early 2016.

Yeah. Best Anna btw:

The fact that they didn't spill the beans about Jin makes me think I'm right on track with that Jin/D.Jin merge as one character and they are preparing big reveal.

The Jin/D.Jin flashbacks behind Kazumi in opening made me even more certain about this.

If it won't happen my jaw will hit the floor.

I wonder if they'll be filling in characters in order of popularity? If so then who's data? Japan? All Asia? World?

That's true. But is it possible to make a model, it's customs, outfits, Rageart and grunt work in just few weeks? It's the speed of Revo characters that only had faces updated.

Unless they already made the models.

I agree, and the wet effects made it look worse. It was so unnatural looking.

The improvement in such a short time was impressive. I remember watching countless Tag 2 videos and some even in HD but when i got the console game i was really impressed.
There will just be more improvements going forward.

Screens from what I can see look nice. Isn't that the Dragon's nest stage from Tekken 5 with Law and......wait, where did Bryan go? Did Law knock him off the screen? The last picture with Lucky Chloe might confirm that there are no 2P outfits. :(

..........The game got a REAL nice visual upgrade. And this I can tell just from the cell phone pics. Wow. Best looking fighting game currently already.

This looks dope. I'm super hyped!

And I have to say all of the new characters seems interesting. Unique in their own way. Katarina being mashing friendly. Claudio having his magic. Chloe being rhythm based. And Shaheen just being cool.

I also love all of the stages so far. And can't wait to see the lava stage.

The graphics looks great now.

I'm optimistic about Tekken 7. And I'm also excited.

Yeah the game looks amazing. It looks way better than back at the location test. There's no doubt that I'm gonna main Shaheen.
Katarina's movelist looks so dumb... 3,3,3,3,3 uf+4,4,4,4,4,4. Yeaah, that's what mashing friendly means nowadays^^

I'm excited. The only thing that kills my hype is the fact that I can't play the game myself.

Lucky Chloe is growing on me more and more, she's so cute.

All these pics and none of Kazumi and her pet tiger? I'm disappointed.
