Would have been so much better without the tattoo and thong up there

lol If she was in Dead or Alive her thong would be on the outside

I don't think you've seen or played DOA from what I'm reading. Only comparison you could have probably made is her breast size.

 

[Infinite Justice]

looks kinda like Christie

should be interesting

Leo is female.

Leo's a girl, though.

This is finally official now?

IIRC the staff and the series itself usually danced around the whole thing

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

I'm not digging it. The concept for the Middle Eastern guy was awful too.

Yes, Harada himself revealed it during an event for Tekken: Blood Vengeance back in 2011. She also wears a bra in one of her swimsuit costumes in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

Eleonore Kliesen is her full name.

So what is the character count up to now? I'm not as familiar with the series, but I remember the character pool in tekken being quite large. Unless they are retiring older characters, is the game threatened by character bloat?

 

[strafer]

mmmm...tattoos. <3

TTT2 was arguably way too bloated. This game is cutting the roster some.

 

[Kain]

So, Vega without a claw and with tits? Let's see how that plays out...

She sure looks pretty.

Also, I'm sure when they say Central/South America they mean exactly that. If she was from Mexico they would outright say it as there are already Mexican characters in the series.

I'm guessing she is Colombian.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

What is Lili's fighting style?

Pain-in-the-ass-learn-to-sidestep.

 

[Exr]

Looks boring but Savate is cool, glad it's not some stupid anime fighting style like Lars or Lili

 

[Gherid__lacksGPS]

I was trying to be sarcastic but I guess I failed.

No, you did just fine, some people are just so syrs.

Yeah, looks / sounds hella like t4 Christie, though I do like the actual art style of the concept, reminds me of the t4 designs - which I actually liked quite a bit.

Do we know who's all on this particular dev team, in terms of core responsibilities for art, design, mechanics, previous work, etc?

Are you Sherlock? not sure how you could gleam such information from that one post. It was a joke about Christies shitty main costume.

I echo the Silat recommendation, in fact just model a character after Iko Uwais.

 

[Casimir]

That's probably for the best. Have they given any hints concerning who is getting cut or does the public have to wait for the roster to be confirmed?

 

[Randam]

I've never seen a female in a fighing game wear heels before.

Mitsuru Kirijo

any one else?

 

[HeelPower]

any one else?

Mature and Vice from King of Fighters.

Possibly Shermie too ?

 

[Eolz]

Sorry about that then, just tired of bad jokes/assumptions when it comes to DOA. Game deserves better.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Leifang duh..

 

[DryEyeRelief]

It's expected than clone characters are out. we just have to wait for the rest.

 

[popyea]

Cool design. The peacock motif is a nice idea for a character who likes to show off.

 

[the_batman]

Tekken 7? when the hell did 6 come out?

and i always appreciate more women in Tekken :3

 

[Binabik15]

Long before Tag 2. Or is this some sort of "T6 is terrible so it doesn't exist" joke?

 

[Creaking]

Tekken 7? when the hell did 6 come out?

Um, 5 years ago. 7 if we're counting the arcade release. Did you miss Tag Tournament 2 as well?

I don't get that. Tekken 6 wasn't even bad. The worst thing about it were the load times on consoles.

 

[ZeroX03]

A lot of people enjoy button mashing with those two because it gets them results against other beginners.

Yeah but it doesn't mean shit against a remotely competent player.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

not all..

Some of them are pretty bullshit.Alisa, Lars,Lili,Zaf,Bob, and bears, and Jack.

Well in Zafina's case her fighting style looks a bit like Shéquán. Ancient Assassin's Art could be based on anything real world. The point still stands "a lot" fighting style in Tekken are based on real world fighting arts.

 

[MrCookiepants]

About 7 years ago in the arcades

To be fair Team Ninja bring it on themselves. You just need to roll with with the punches.

Anyway can't wait to see what my man Yoshimitsu looks like in 7.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Looks generic. I don't like it.

 

[TheHollowNight]

Blurgh, another pretty uninspired female character design to be honest :/

 

[the_batman]

wow, 6 came out a long time ago. i remember Tag Tournament 2 though.

 

[HolyBaikal]

Oh...

Well, unfortunately, I don't think her character design appeals to me all that much. Sorry.

 

[sleepykyo]

Those tiny mosquito bumps?

Tiny?

Looks at username. Oh ... carry on.

French kickboxing. Hm, King was pretty awesome in KoF. Wasn't quite as fond of the pirate in World Heroes.

edit:

Maybe we'll get an Australian lifeguard in a speedo too. Tekken 7, everyone fights in their underwear & swimsuits!









Probably not. ;_;

Well not as a default, but Tekken has had plenty of customization options.

 

[AAK]

Looking back at Wonkey's article:

There is another 'yet to be revealed' character to be playable at the October location test, is described to have an emphasis on a new mechanic which the Tekken team hasn't tried before but you may be familiar with in 2D fighting games.

Sooo what are things unique in 2D fighting games?

Y axis gameplay (Jump in's, anti-airs)
Meter management (supers, roman cancels,
3 frame jabs
charge moves
No ground hitting moves

Wonder what that'll be?

 

[StayDead]

I really like her design. Hopefully the game will actually be good too.

Based Harada!

 

[Cider X]

Fucking perfect use of this GIF.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Well that's a fighting game female alright. Awful.

 

[HolyBaikal]

Leo has boobs? :<

 

[the_batman]

Well that's a fighting game female alright. Awful.

how would you design her?

 

[toastyToast]

Awful tattoo, would not main

The guy that's gonna be revealed BETTER be a silat fighter!! I want to see this battle in T7:

Damn well better. Now I wanna watch The Raid 2 again

Probably charges.

 

[AAK]

A charge character would completely destroy Backdash Cancelling. I definitely do wonder if the movement is gonna be completely changed if they do that. I personally think it's gonna be Y axis gameplay as another test before Tekken X Street Fighter.

Also, Via Purifico make a very keen observation:

If you look closely you can see she has guns. I wonder what her story is.

Yeah, jumping/cross ups would be my guess as well considering it was the mechanic Harada seemed the most unsure about in regards to TxSF.

Latin American with guns? Colombian perhaps?

 

[BadWolf]

Very weak design tbh.

 

[F0rneus]

She looks fantastic IMO

 

[Shredderi]

Maybe I should get into Tekken.

Why is your avatar so applicable to so many things?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Reminds me of Michiko Mallandro, love it

 

[AkelisRain]

Just as long as I get back Anna, Lili and Dark Resurrection Julia!

 

[IvorB]

I haven't seen a good, new Tekken character since part 5 and it looks like the trend continues. While there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this character design it's just not as iconic as Tekken characters used to be:

She looks like a cool chick you would invite over for pool party not badass Tekken character.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

the peacock feathers on her jacket are lovely.
