I know, that's the point. They didn't want to age them so they put them into cryostasis.
Kazuya has aged, they resurrected him almost immediately after his death, he is 48 or 49 years old.
Look at Lee or Bruce, both in their late forties and they are glorious bastards. Even Baek. But the ladies? Michelle? Nope, let's create a sort of daughter. Nina and Anna? Nein. Kunimitsu? Who? Jun? Hah.
And now Kazumi, mother of Kazuya, is a beautiful young woman with a pet tiger and whoknows powers. Yeah right.
I think this is the only elder woman we have ever seen in a fighting game and she is a caricature:
Bloody Roar had a middle-aged woman in the roster. She never appeared in any of the sequels tho, smh

Probably a boss

what is the purpose of these old images from the previous games in the mobile app? are they related to some sort of unlockable?
I thought Kazumi was the boss this time.
Tekken has had sub-bosses before. Mostly playable, but there was Nancy in Tekken 6.

It's weird, all through Tekken I always had respect for Nina, thought/think Anna was/is hot but hate playing against or as her.
I guess that confirms Anna + Nina is a single character in T7 now. Oh and they are now super kawaii.

That makes sense. I don't understand why he did not get a trailer while everyone else who got leaked received one. Making it seem like there is something going on with him.

I like the theory that he's the one standing at the doorway in the first Tekken 7 trailer. Not Heihachi.
Dr.B combined all the old guys not in Tekken 7 like Wang, Jinpachi and Baek into the ultimate being.
RED GUY!!
Power Crush, can absorb any attack that isn't a low.
Yeah, that's pretty fucking disappointing. Doubt we'll see Harada in Atlanta again. Pokchop won't be happy to see him.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.

You are going to get Tekken 7:Kawaii Edition, and you are going to love it!
!!! Them's fightin' words
Nina >>> Anna (& Chloe)
Yeah, Nina is badass like a character attending the KING OF IRON FIRST TOURNAMENT should be. Only the strongest of the strongest fighters should be there. No place for moe young kawaii anime pop idols with the mannerisms of a tween. Kappa.

I agree with wha you are saying, but kazuya doesn't even look that old. ESPECIALLY in the cgi trailers for 6-7. Heck is tekken 6 ending he looks super young. This isn't to take away from your point, i just wanted to point out kazuya doesn't even look that old. But there is a explaining for that.
There isn't an explanation for, oh nina and anna got crio'd for whatever reason.
Jin and DJ have the advent of being a main character though, and much more popular than Bruce. Bruce's popularity is probably around one tier above the old folks and animals.

Jin still has the arrogant/evil persona in his intro/win poses that he had in T6. I thought he would've gotten back to normal after all that shit.
in devil jin's t6 ending he goes sorta purple-black.
That's just in my experience. I hardly see him get love by the community. I don't often see him being played. He never gets attention in the games. His fighting style is good, but he's so often sidelined.
The only thing is that I don't see him getting actively disliked, like the animals. And I don't see the fans saying "oh he's dead for sure this time" like Wang and co.
You misunderstand. I was laughing because of the description of how you tiered him. Not because it's an inaccurate placement.
A middle aged woman with the physique of a giant body builder. A female character with one of those two traits is rare but with both it's like seeing a Unicorn.

does anyone think this could be why harada wanted to add an arab character --> http://megagames.com/news/namco-changes-tekken-floor-pattern-appease-muslim-fans

I remember that. It might not be the entire reason but it certainly had an effect.
Googling arabic words and using them without knowing the meaning is stupid. For any language infact.
Bandai Namco just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but girls below 30 are a huge part of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by drawing a granny. If you design an old woman in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to play Tekken 7 at arcades, nor will they purchase any of Bandai Namco's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Bandai Namco has alienated an entire market with this move.
Bandai Namco, publicly apologize and get rid of the old ladies in Tekken or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Nobody who was familiar with Tekken's roster choices thought DJ was out. Too popular, too good.

Damn I hate Josie's outfit but her fighting style looks so sick.
She's such a qt too

but they obviously didn't mean to be offensive with it. moreover, there wasn't anything offensive about it.
I should've said contributing factor, I didn't mean that it could explain the sole reason why.
LOL this quote is never gonna die on this forum. XD
Oh ok I see what you mean. Yeah in hindsight it's all excuses to make them look younger because they don't want to draw them old. Weird I guess. I don't think anyone would mind a old women or two in the game.I know, that's the point. They didn't want to age them so they put them into cryostasis.

Having it on the floor and people stepping on it is frowned upon.
Especially with shoes. Actually very offensive.
