Kuma's ending is Roger getting thrown in to a volcano.

LMFAO

 

[Col.Asher]

Aren't kangaroos the deer of Australia?

Edit: I heard kangaroos are the reason almost every vehicle in Australia have grill guards.I bet the fuckers eat your flowers too.

 

[Catvoca]

Roger was never good.

I mean, they do have broads in Atlanta.

 

[Springy]

Can't tell if OP is in on the joke.

 

[Tyaren]

Kangaroos sure are no joke, look at the bloody slashes all over dog's neck. O: This dog will never again dare to pester a kangaroo, that's for sure.

I remember this being news, albeit handled as obscure/funny side news. Not that animal rights activists made a huge deal of it.

 

[Glass Rebel]

People on the internet have become terrible at spotting jokes.

 

[BasilZero]

Joke news right?


Not his reasoning but roger jr not being in ;(

 

[Foxy the Fox]

Someone should mod a lucha libre fighter and replace it with a Kangaroo. Those are jacked af.

Yes. A kangaroo could kick a hole through our chests.

Edit: Would you wanna fight this guy?

Most of the time, japanese devs use excuses like this but this time it may be true: Harada used an very specific example and probably they don't want any trouble or bad PR.

 

[Skyzard]

are they talking about this?

The kangaroo is waiting for the human to punch again so it can shred him with its feet, he only had a chance because he was moving side to side and he threw the punch at the right time. The man then backs off and the dogs both run around the kangaroo, it thinks about it (man notices and puts arm on knife and steps forward a bit) but decides against it.

Pretty nuts.

Kangaroos are tough. This is dumb.

I remember this being news, albeit as kinda funny side news. Not that animal rights activists made a huge deal of it.

it's a red belt not bloody slashes silly

 

[Kart94]

That sounds like a stupid reason. It is a video game. Kangaroos aren't actually getting hurt. Are we going to now just going to remove animals from games because they might be harmed and that someone might be offended by that? Please, this is ridiculous.

 

[Two Words]

King is literally wearing the head of a skinned leopard.....

 

[TheJollyCorner]

are they talking about this?

I know the guy and the dog are both pretty fortunate this roo didn't mess them up, but goddamnit this clip will never not be funny to me (especially knowing that the dog was ultimately ok).

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

Gotta save that character slot for

Spoiler

Lei...

 

[Yukinari]

I dont think harada realizes it but even if he is trolling hes just feeding into terrible organizations like Peta by saying things like this. Theyre gonna be all smug now.

Ah, I see! I was already wondering how that gog was even able to run around if this were indeed real slashes.

 

[YuriLowell]

are they talking about this?

Wow, Australia just get a gun like in the USA and shoot the thing.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

What in Heaven's name...? This just baffles me.

 

[TheOGB]

Very easily

This is my favorite kangaroo video

 

[tolkir]

Which is the message, it's ok to punch idols and pandas but not kangaroos? Harada please.

 

[Doomshine]

Have you guys also heard that Lucky Chloe won't be in the western release!?

 

[Creaking]

Oh come on Harada, that ain't cool. Roger was one of my most used characters.

 

[Numb]

What about Mokujin
It ain't due to some tree shit right?
Just add him already you bastards

 

[Arkam]

I dont want to live in this world anymore....

Seriously would like to see more devs/pubs ignore angry mobs and create whatever they want and let the consumers dollars decide.

 

[PantsuJo]

I agree.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Replace Roger with Mio Honda from The Idolm@ster.

I agree.

Guess you guys missed the joke.
Consumer dollars are the reason he's not in anymore. He's not popular.

 

[shiftplusone]

Obvious joke is obvious, but complaining about the loss of Robert in Taken is like being upset that Dan isn't in Street Fighter V.

There's a lot to unpack here

 

[Creaking]

I'm going back to sleep, and when I wake up, I want a better answer.

For real though, this nonsense just stabbed my enthusiasm in the gut.

 

[The Cartographer]

See you in Tag 3 little buddy.

 

[Malreyn]

Give us Alex and "maybe" I'll believe that weak excuse...

 

[The Fatal Englishman]

Aren't kangrooo's like protected by conservation laws in Australia?

No, not really. They are regarded as pests.

Also, Harada is likely taking the piss. He pulled a similar stunt regarding Lucky Chloe:

http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/12/09/tekken-boss-responds-to-fan-backlash-regarding-lucky-chloe

Oh, and Roger and Kuma are both terrible characters with messed up hitboxes.

 

[Alienous]

Well, that was unconvincing.

 

[Playsage]

I never expected to see Harada talking about that stupid

Spoiler

and hilarious

video lol

It's clearly bullshit, but it made me laugh

 

[GoldenCrow]

Thread is reminding me of the actual bullshit that is kangaroo boxing.

http://fightland.vice.com/blog/the-prolific-and-upsetting-history-of-humans-boxing-kangaroos

 

[Lightning Lord]

This thread just made me realize how my perception of kangaroos is different than how they really are.

 

[Needlecrash]

VG247 talked with Harada. It's a long article but the end is priceless:


Make me a bear if old.

It's a fucking video game for Christ's sake. Fuck off SJWS.

 

[cireza]

Whatever the reason, I find this sad because it is a fun character.

 

[Risible]

lool at the Kangaroo's reaction. First it's in disbelief, then it feels sorry for what it did and ran away.

Hell no you go that all wrong. First it's all "U WOT M8", then it gives the man the flex stare down, then it sees the two dogs flanking it and says "1v1 me next time fucker" and leaves.

Kangaroos are jacked and will fuck your shit up.

 

[E_Darkness]

I'm surprised Lucky Chloe wasn't cut because of anti-anime activists.

 

[Mechanized]

There's still time to cut Kuma too!

 

[Monocle]

Everything I know about pet care I learned from Tekken.

It's a fucking video game for Christ's sake. Fuck off SJWS.

lol

 

[Yappadappadu]

Would upping the age of the animals make it okay to hit them??

 

[ModBot]

having temper tantrums about SJWs over an obvious throwaway joke in an interview is embarrassing. someone should feel free to make a new thread about the character news framed differently.
