She's doesn't play anything like Eddy/Christie but she still shares enough similarities with them for me to come to the conclusion that she is meant to replace them.
T7 will probably be my first Tekken game since T5DR that I go all the way in. Man, I remember how I played at least 10 characters and I was great with all of them. Loved T6 and TTT2 but I never was invested as much with them as I was with previous entries. I'm not sure what it is about this game but I feel like diving on in full time.
You question who Lee is and ask for Lei, when Lee has been in almost every game but Tekken 3. Not even counting the fact that Lee predates Lei as Lee is a Tekken 1 original.
I think Lei will be back, but they have to adjust his play style so it fits with Tekken 7, unlike in previous games were they could just add him no trouble.
Love everything else but the new special attacks. Just like in SCV, they look horrible and I hate it's effect on combat flow. I also really dislike the music in this one. Usually fighting games have pretty baller music but this is by far the worst OST in a fighting game I've heard during the past few years. Really disappointing stuff.
