I was wondering when someone was going to correct the thread title. Still waiting on that release date.
Isn't Asuka his cousin? A little late for the Leia/Luke storyline
He'll also have a pet panda
Isn't asuka his cousin? Does this apply incest?
Blasphemy! Why would jin snuggle her boobies???!!!!!
Welcome to the darkside.
Buy Tag 2. Quick!

Isn't Asuka family? A cousin or maybe half sister? I don't think they've really explained her background. Although if you look at Lars ending in TTT2, she does seem to be family.

I'd like to see Heihachi and Kazuya killed off... then doing another Tekken 3 style time skip with Tekken 8 with an older Jin and just represent some of the established playstyles/movesets with new characters like they've done with Gigas/Josie/etc. But still really not age Nina at all because why not Tekken.
True. The Lili and Asuka thing ended up consuming any character development Asuka could have had in the main storyline. Which is a shame, she could have done something, since they showed she had the ability to suppress the devil gene like Jun.
Named Panda.
That vid is non canon.
But their canon relation is that she's his cousin. Her father is Jun's brother.
But Jin doesn't end up knowing her in the storyline. I think she probably knows who he is, but it would be hard not to as the one time leader of the Zaibatsu and the starter of a world war.
It was just for comic relief.

I'm waiting for Josie Rizal's updated look so I can officially declare her my main.
Then why would they have announced the console versions officially at the Paris show for a 2 year later debut?
Makes no sense
Im not defending Harada but is common now to announce games that are years far off.
This. Though the idea of having Jin & Xiaoyu's kid mentioned earlier in Tekken 8, especially with a time skip, would be interesting if the kid had a mix of both their moves.
This also lines up with my next point. If they're gonna bury the Mishima storyline & keep Jin around, cure Jin of the Devil Gene in the story & give him his happy ending. And please don't give the possible kid from earlier the Devil Gene. Though I suppose someone has to take up the Mishima fighting style if both Kazuya & Heihachi bite it.
It WAS an accident. It was comic relief. Asuka KAZAMA is the cousin of Jin KAZAMA.
I hope Harada gives her a darker skin and makes her a man.
And a new name, something like Bruce Irvin
Fuck no. And Bruce Irvin is one of my favorite characters. Josie will be my main.

Why did he rest his face on her boobs for almost a minute before getting up?

Out of all the OG Tekken characters Bruce is the most replaceable.
Comedy relief? It was only for 10 seconds.
I guess they don't like money. Unbefuckinglievable.
Its a 2016 release most likely. Pretty much every Tekken was released on console 1 year after the arcade, only exception being Tekken 6.
Also I remember MarkMan saying something like next year is going to be a great year for Tekken fans, maybe also a hint that it's coming to console in 2016?
Maybe is a hint of Arcades coming to the US.
The thing is that it doesn't make too much sense to release the console version in 2016 when they can squish another year on the arcades with that update. Each of those arcades cost 15,000 USD. The arcade companies wont buy those if they suspect they cant pay them back and make a profit out of it.

I love these story ideas. I hope we get something similar to this.
I hope that once we get more news regarding console versions, they'll stop being vague about a possible PC release. I think Harada threw a few hints out about it a while back if my memory isn't letting me down. Would be cool if it has some form of cross-platform netcode as well now that SFV has it.
Here's the current Tekken 7 roster:
And our very fine community thread if anyone's interested in joining.
Harada have talked nice about PC for years, and nothing have ever come of it. I still don't think Tekken 7 will come to PC, but if it does, I hope it supports cross-platform play.

I'm hoping we might get a fresh take on the way story content is delivered. I like the format of Tekken 4. Let's hope they can take that format and extend it to full CG introductions and endings. I would hope focal characters could get a solid 5 to 7 minutes of CG animated story. I wouldn't mind a little more focus be put here.
I also wouldn't count out bonus offline modes.
The game still has a lot to do to improve match making. Also I don't think the game should do demotions until after 19th Dan. This will keep new players engaged in online longer I think. A sense of achievement can go a long way, demotions can be so deflating.

I don't think Nathan drake would bring a gun to a fistfight. But we'll see.
Nah bruh
Kazuya doesn't really need to die. Heihachi is the only one who caused such much shit culminating to a point. A dramatic death would be needed or even worth something.
Kazuya kills heihachi. Then he takes his satan looking ass home and stops fighting
I can see you being right but I feel that doing another Tekken 6 (waiting stupid long before releasing on consoles) will only hurt the game. They gotta release it when people still have a lot of interest and hype going for it. Gonna be a lot more quality options on the market by 2017. I have no solid basis for my argument other than I don't want to wait 1.5-2 years more to get to play this >_>
Tekken 6 was formally announced for ps3 at e3 2006. It never came out until fall 2009. It sucks but this is the reality for being a Tekken fan.
Holy shit, a real TEKKEN 7 reveal. My body is ready. It looks great.
Also,

Kazuya is actually Gouki's son?
Akuma always finishes the job, & he owes Kazumi a Kazuya kill. The only way a Mishima is gonna live is if they aren't on Akuma's debt-fueled hit list, with Jin & Lars being the only ones to dodge that Satsui no Hadou-fueled bullet.

what happened to her?

I was super impressed with the small story segments in TTT2 for both Steve and Leo. I hope Tekken 7 could feature a good 7 minutes of CG on their story. I'd like to see this quality of writing for all the cast. I think Western fans will respond to story content that matters to these characters. I really did enjoy Leo on the train. That was very Hong Kong Cinema with a splash of 007. Also Steve has been my favorite tormented character since Jin Kazama in Tekken 3. Don't waste these wonderful stories on slapstick. I would prefer if the Tekken team treat all their characters with the same amount of craft. Yoshimitsu's been neglected when it comes to meaningful story content for a long time now. smh
Nothing. She turned into JayCee in Tag 2 but that is not canon. I do hope she returns as JayCee in Tekken 7 though.
Ey, I might ship these two as a couple now. Looks good.

HAHAHA, No. I'll take this time to say your avatar is very badass. I see Leo and Steve as little sister and big brother. I hope Tekken 7 sheds more light on this.
She never said kill kazuya. She just hopes kazuya doesnt fall into the darkness. So dunno where you got that from. Also akuma never finishes the job. The only kill he has actually gotten is gotestsu, though argably bison did infact loose his body.
