Josie's fighting style looks awesome. Her design, though... Ugh (with all due respect to the people that designed her).
Why do the Tekken character designers insist on going after a "Japanese pop idol" look/demeanor for almost all of their female characters? It's a slightly annoying trend. I wouldn't have had a damn clue she's Filipina if it wasn't mentioned in this thread.
Long gone are the days of the Tekken 2 female roster, which was awesome :-(

They had a lot of shared moves in T5, but yeah that's what I'm saying. They're completely different now.
Heh yeah.
I'm just disappointed in the design, after all these years.
Her fighting is brutally cool.
Such as? I'm struggling to think of any moves that share the same properties between them and only a few with similar animations. Looking at a move list the only move that seems to be the same is d+1.
Ya maybe, but like the camera angles and stuff also make them seem like an afterthought.
Yeah it's kinda annoying. I don't have an issue on a personal level but yeah, design versatility's kinda lacking.
Harada is a huge Idolmaster fan so that's probably a likely reason. It's also to do with Japan itself having a major shift in what is considered appealing character design. 90's anime and videogames were partly inspired by western media and fashion trends. The modern Japanese industry of games and anime have somewhat moved away from that. This is why the art design comes off as more polarizing.
Very much agreed, don't think I've seen a single memorable one yet.
That new slow motion during critical exchanges is genius though.
Corpse Thrust had the same animation back then. Same frames as well. Some throws. f,f+2 (don't remember the name) was same. Double lift kick as well I think, although I think DVJ has the first kick on low.
That's his best outfit for me as well. I usually just change the colour of his trouser flames to blue and that's it.
So all of five moves? That's about the same as Hei and Kaz and is certainly not a lot of shared moves. Not clones and it was never even close.

Josie's fighting style is Yaw-Yan, a contraption of Sayaw ng Kamatayan or in english, Dance of Death
So she have a Filipino fighting style after all!? Gonna check out the video when I get home.

Interesting to see a brand new fighting style. Although it really looks a lot like Muay Thai. But Bruce Lee once said something along the lines that many fighting styles look similar since humans only have 2 arms and 2 legs and you can only do so many different strikes using those.
Well there was WS+2 as well.
And b,f+2,1,2 was similar.
WS+4
But I'll admit I'm exaggerating. There really were not too many moves that were similar. Maybe it felt to me more because all his moves felt like variations of his original moves.
So, was there like any actual confirmation that she actually replaced Bruce or was that just a bunch of nonsense people wanted to throw out for more negativity?
You know, showing that there are time-released characters now kind of bolsters the chance that by console release, more old faves will probably be in the game.

Yeah it's Yaw Yan, you can tell by the hammer fists, something that isn't a common trait of Muay Thai.
I wonder if they will introduce a Pencak Silat fighter with the popularity of The Raid Redemption
Since when a fair and politely expressed dislike has started to get labeled as 'negativity'? I find it so silly, it makes me think of some fans as 'tekkenists', more than anything else.
Is that a thing for other fighting games too? I've never read such comments in DoA/SF/GG threads.
There have been a lot of repeated "negativism" going on in our Tekken community toward Tekken 7, but people's complaints are pretty much valid.Since when a fair and politely expressed dislike has started to get labeled as 'negativity'?

Josie reminds me of Elena from Street Fighter.
I heard the Philippines is one of those few places where Tekken is significantly more popular than Street Fighter or any other fighting game out there. In that case, I think this serves as a rather nice acknowledgement of that, in a way.

According to Harada her fighting style is Eskrima and kick boxing: https://twitter.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/582104312018382849

I haven't played Tekken since 3, i might need to get back in. Jin looks fucking cool.
I changed my mind on that though.
She is Filipina so she will be my main and a worthy replacement for Bruce.

I was honestly asking if there was any official word whether or not characters like Bruce and the like were actually 'replaced' by these new characters, and as such were never gonna be in the actual game.
I mean, even as a fan who's not super-into the series, I find it somewhat hard to parse what is and is not true when the first 2 pages of the thread are stating "Bruce is replaced", "hate that this new character is replacing Bruce" in all seriousness.
EDIT: Or does "Replaced" here mean more akin to "More people would use her now instead of Bruce if he was included" kinda deal?...I'm honestly confused.
I will admit that I like Josie and her fighting style though, especially since I've been looking for someone I'd be interested to learn since my previous Main hasn't been confirmed or released yet!

Lucky Chloe is the best addition to the roster so far. Together with Josie.

Josie was cool until she started crying that she won.
Lucky Chloe? Damn right I will. The sweet sensation of wrecking someone and top it off with Chloe's BYEEEEEEE victory pose. Sweet tears.
They're a very emotional people. What can you do about it.
I meant Josie.
We are already at least three here who's gonna main her.

DoA characters almost seem progressive compared to the new female fighters revealed for this game.

Really liking Josie. She looks stunning and seems to have a bright and happy disposition. On top of all that her fighting style looks brutal.
The Lucky Chloe vs. Josie battles will be tons of fun.
