Wow, that is a fantastic design.

 

[Daemul]

He looks like that guy who got kicked out of his country for being too good looking.

EDIT:Beaten!

 

[fernoca]

Looks great. Can't wait to see him shirtless...and only wearing shorts or briefs!

 

[Draerf]

I came into this thread expecting to see a sabre or falchion at his hip.

Yep.

 

[Codeblue]

I'm always impressed by the attention to detail Harada brings.

The only real inconsistencies I could find are the gold rings he's wearing. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone complains about it.

 

[Sub_Level]

My GF swoons over this guy, wait until she gets a load of this.

A load, eh.

 

[neotokyo360]

Oh cool.

Whats wrong with the gold rings?

 

[AAK]

More of this and a lot less of Lucky Chloe please.

2nd Muslim after Zafina? Cool that the series is branching out to the ethnicities that have a negative perception in the West .

Street Fighter has Hakan too. Nice.

How is Zafina Muslim? Ancient Egyption was before Islam.

Muslim men can't wear gold. I suppose it's presumptuous to assume he's a Muslim though.

 

[m_shortpants]

Pretty cool. Nice to see Harada including a diverse cast.

 

[mazpratim]

WAYYYY too anime for this series, how will he fit in with the kangaroo

I really like his design

Laughed out loud at this post

I presume he is. I'm sure that won't be the final player model.

 

[catmincer]

He's really hot.

 

[wachie]

Female name for a male character?

Lol...d'oh

 

[toastyToast]

So the concept art was the final design. Surprised by the lack of falcon.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

That's not too bad, by Tekken standards

 

[m_shortpants]

Female name for a male character?

#facepalm

Shaheem would work but yeah Shaheen is a female name lol

 

[CountBlack]

Concept art released back in August

pretty sure thats Altair breh

 

[joeblow]

Omar Borkan gonna sue Bamco for sure

Like how Bruce Lee's estate sued for Law? And Jackie Chan sued for Lei? And Wesley Snipes sued for Raven?

 

[F0rneus]

Looks fantastic. That's a badass motherfucker. The T7 characters are all great so far. Even Lucky Chloe. I just hope that Harada doesn't bend to the fans, and that he'll make the Korean character a hot girl, like he intended too.

 

[neither]

He's handsome! Wonder what his fighting style will be.

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Female name for a male character?

#facepalm

That's what caught me lol.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

That concept art made him look more like an Assassin's Creed character. Glad they changed him around to be a little more natural. He'll probably have an AC like outfit along with some other wacky outfits to change into in their customization.

 

[Salex_]

Isnt that the brother that got kicked out of the country for being too hot?

He looks like that guy who got kicked out of his country for being too good looking.

EDIT:Beaten!

Those articles was fake btw. The original source which was in Arabic removed the article after the English articles came out.

 

[Se7enSword]

He has a Shamshir?

I'm sold.

 

[Plywood]

Cool, but ehh all at the same time.

Female name for a male character?

I've only seen girls called Shaheena (Desi here). Never saw a girl named Shaheen.

I know 2 Shaheens. Both girls. Heh.

 

[Codeblue]

I know 2 Shaheens. Both girls. Heh.

Where from?

Pretty sure it's predominantly a male name for Arabs.

 

[SDBurton]

They did an excellent job on him. Though I'll still be using Lucky.

 

[AAK]

Muslim men can't wear gold. I suppose it's presumptuous to assume he's a Muslim though.

I think that's an Aqeeq ring. Pretty common in Saudi Arabia.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I CALLED IT

Damn, they actually went and modeled it after Omar Borkan:

dat photoshop

 

[ZiZ]

Shaheem would work but yeah Shaheen is a female name lol

That's what caught me lol.

What ethnicity are you talking about?

in Arabic Shaheen is a male name.

 

[Korialstrasz]

Yeah Shaheen is mostly a female name in Arabic but it looks like it's a male name in Persian.. So he's an Arab guy with a Persian name lol.

 

[Boogalogist]

I hate to say this...but he's probably gonna end up being selected the most as training dummy.

 

[Lulubop]

I like.

 

[Navid]

Female name for a male character?

Shaheen (usually represented in Latin/Roman script as Shahin) is a pretty common Iranian name for a male translating to Falcon in English... No idea how common it is as a male name in Arabic countries however.


Edit: As far as the character design itself goes, I like it and hopefully they give him a interesting fighting style as well.

 

[RK9039]

Female name for a male character?

#facepalm

I dunno, all the people I've known who are called Shaheen are males. Means falcon/hawk I think.

 

[Stereogatari]

Where from?

Pretty sure it's predominantly a male name for Arabs.

And Turks (we spell it Şahin). Female form doesn't exist.

It means eagle. Epic name. I thought it had a Persian etymology?

 

[Cyber Caesar]

I like the character. I hope we get more of these real world character types. This guy looks great.

 

[odin9450]

Where from?

Pretty sure it's predominantly a male name for Arabs.

I'm from Saudi Arabia and can confirm that Shaheen is a male name. ٍShayhana on the other side is the female name.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I really want to play this character.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Hopefully he's not as shitty as Abdul was in Fighters Destiny.

 

[Bugs Bunny]

Very Handsome : )

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

dat photoshop

....dat eye liner what the fuck man.

 

[me0wish]

Remove his kitra (the thing on his head), and he will hardly be an Arab imo, skin needs tuning, so does his goofy clothes.
