Yeah, I much preferred how the girls looked in TTT2, they're trying to them look like Soul Calibur women.

It will be the closest thing to playing as Talim again
They barely changed anything based on fans feedback.
He's the only one created with fan feedback and he's actually the only one that mostly EVERYONE loved. No mixed opinions. No overwhelming hate.

To be fair, not much really needed to be changed. It was a pretty strong design from the start, and they did make some adjustments.
The feedback went like this
1. Show concept art for character
2. Did the internet go berserk?
If yes, then go to 3a. If no, then go to 3b.
3a. Redo character design
3b. Ignore all minor complaints and finish the character
He's not gone for sure, it was just presumption. Have hope, and show him lots of love in the face of Harada and co.
Writing God's name on the floor that characters are stepping on? Yeah, of course that's not offensive. /sarcasm.
It's not even a contributing factor. The devs have said in interviews that they had wanted to create an Arab character for a long while. They tried with Zafina but that character didn't connect with the Arab fanbase (because she's more ancient Egyptian) as much as Shaheen is right now.

Yes, they did.
This was the original concept art.
Way too busy with all sorts of accessories and the Assassin's Creed look.
They also shortened his hair, made his beard cooler, and took off the gloves to give him dem rings. And made him more mature instead of that young look he initially had.
Not DLC. Tekken is only in arcades right now and working on a time release system for the characters. So we won't know the final roster for some time.

Huh, I just realized that they removed the waistband. Shame, as I think it would've looked good. But he did have too many weapons that he'd surely never use.
Time released characters. Staggered out for the arcade so that they have adequate time to work on each character.

Mary from Tobal is listed as being 32, AND is a mother. That's pretty much assured retirement in any other fighting game.

Half the budget and processing power in Tekken 7 is going in that trenchcoat.
As a Saudi myself I wanted it to be a bit more accurate. I appreciate the streamlining of the design but I hoped for more.
The problem being the games are either designed as cross gen, or on HW/engines much weaker/not designed for taking advantage of increasing polygon counts/shaders of the characters in that manner.
The fighting games today are a far more niche audience compared to years ago, so the trade off is usually using your budget for just making the game instead of upgrading the graphics and visuals.
60fps big dawg.
I haven't been into Tekken in a LONG time. I was still able to pickup Paul Phoenix and crush this Japanese dude. I'm not the best person to give you details. Sorry.
Bruce just hasn't been announced, along with half of the traditional cast. Check back in a year or so for a clearer picture of the full roster.

come on, man. if you wanna get into the details, i'm pretty sure in Islam no symbols are supposed to be given that much value - in this case, the arabic word for god which is somewhat symbolic is still not any actual representation of god whatsoever otherwise it would be consider idol worship, amounting to one of the worst sins in Islam. all things considered, nothing was intentionally OR inherently offensive, and I really just think the voice of Muslim people often just complain about things too much. a similar thing happened with a katy perry video, as well as littlebigplanet and both of those times I don't their arguments had merit either.
Zafina was supposed to be made to connect to the Arab fanbase? Hm, really don't see how. Shaheen looks like a cool character though, and a good guy ("I don't want to fight you", "I am not happy about this victory").
One of the worst costumes designs I've seen in a fighting game, up there with E-Honda and Rufus. His upper half doesn't fit with his lower half!

What really bothers me is that his boots are a noticeably brighter red than his gauntlet-sleeves. Just... why?
She would have connected with some if she actually reflected that outside just being her back story. I bet she connected with some spiders though. ;p
I don't think she was meant as a character for Arab fans, Tekken team mainly noticed the middle east thanks to Tekken 6's scene, not during its development.
Also, who tuck their leather jacket, which have zippers, under their jeans! I want to meat who ever thought of that brilliant idea, I need to see how do they dress.

Why is she crying for beating the crap of the other lady ?
Because it makes her look sensitive and kawaii.
She also did the concept art for Kazumi. Oh, and gave SoulCalibur: Lost Swords this little "treat" (and in-game)
I suppose things could've have been worse.
If only they look like Soul Calibur women. Tekken's characters don't seem as serious or fighter looking as Soul Calibur's characters.
On a serious note, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Other than some obvious examples like Lucky Chloe. Are they supposed to hold weapons that they won't use? Wear armor? Some do.
She's not crying for breaking people's bones, she's crying because she won

Ling and Lili and Asuka looks more like schoolgirls than fighters. And then you get a panda, a dinosaur, some more schoolgirls, and then a robot.
In Soul Calibur they all are equipped to fight and have a much darker and serious tone than Tekken. None are fan service. You see Josie and people complaining the way she acts after winning?

I actually prefer the more realistic look for the females in TTT2. Ironically, I think Dead or Alive 5 has the most realistic looking women at this point. The tides have turned. I like Josie's design though.
She also made Ivy's SCV 2P.
Not sure if serious...
Ivy's storyline and her past is much darker and serious than any Tekken's character. Read her bio.

Well, at least she is in her 30's. That's a start in the video game world. She would be 16 years old in the average fighter and equipped with much bigger.......eyes.
SoulCalibur has that too though. Dampierre is a complete goof. Pyrrha is a crybaby. Sophitia apologizes in mid-battle. Yun-Seong is a moron. Xianghua has an attack where she throws a tantrum while on the floor.
Also, while I agree about the excess of schoolgirls and the like (between the official cosplay, the kawaii ending movies, Blood Vengeance being 75% "Tekken School Daze", the Tekken team's Summer Lesson VR game, and the entirety of T7's current female cast being 21 and under [save for Kazumi and maybe Katarina] I have to wonder whether Harada and co. wouldn't rather be making something else) I certainly wouldn't want to fight a dinosaur or a combat-designed robot. Just saying.
And anyway, who says you have to be dark and serious to fight? I don't mean to excuse the likes of Lucky Chloe inexplicably beating up martial arts masters through the power of idol dance moves, but how many professional fighters in real life do you suppose have dark and brooding pasts?
But then they officially made her stop aging with an extremely weak excuse.
Also if I see Ivy in real life I would be scared as shit and wouldn't want to mess with her.
None of the fighters in Tekken look as scary as Ivy. Would you run away from Asuka or Josie?
I would avoid a BDSM dominatrix looking lady too, but not necessarily because I think she's got amazing combat skills.
lol, you can't be serious! Ivy is equipped to punish in an S&M dungeon, between the see-through dresses, lingerie, mini shorts, etc.... The only female really equipped for a weapon fight in SC is Hilde.
"None are fan service" actually make me question if you played the games. >_<
This is the real Pyrrha. Her crybaby form is just a fake.
Sophitia is just trolling when she does that. She plays a mental game which is important in a fight.
Xianghua's attack is a sneak attack which proves to be useful in a real fight as well.

That's reading pretty deep into thin air.
By that logic, the schoolgirl "forms" of the young Tekken girls are just fakes. The real ones are them pummeling each other within the fights themselves.
SoulCalibur is my second favorite fighting series just behind Tekken; I've got nothing against it at it's core. I just think that you're more than a bit biased in it's favor. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does tend to cause one to believe there's some objective way to go about arguments that begin and end with subjective opinions.
