The Soul Calibur version of Yoshimitsu

a couple of years ago I made a Kazuya Mishima vs Kazuma Kiryu thread, and Kiryu won, by 2 votes. there were 420 votes. it was perfect.
No they don't. Kazuya is voiced by Masanori Shinohara and Kiryu is voiced by Takaya Kuroda
Well, in Project X Zone 2 not only does Kiryu share a game with the Mishimas, in the end he teams up with Kazuya for a "friendly" match with the other martial artists in the game, so there's a licensing and questionable lore precedent.
I gotta take care not to expect too much from this announcement through, dreaming up of a NamcoCapcom/SNK/Sega crossover and things not developing quite like that won't do me any good... on the other hand, Harada has expressed the desire of putting together something like that, although cool as he may be, Kiryu isn't exactly a primary sega fighting game character for this sort of thing... Gouki isn't either for Capcom, but he's pretty damn close, not only for his 1-on-1 fighter history, but also for basically getting the MvC ball rolling back in X-Men Children of the Atom...

and the soul calibur version of heihachi
these will be the only 2 characters with 8-way step
I rather see returning or original characters than two guests, but they'll help bring attention back to Tekken 7 by the time they're finally ready.
They could add another character from Street Fighter to go with Akuma. I don't expect them to add a guest from Soulcalibur. They've added content from Tekken to SC a bunch of times but not the other way around, so I don't expect that to change. I wouldn't mind Geese or some sweater richards from DOA added to Tekken.

would be amazing, but hardly a "season pass seller" for the masses
i think they are trying to go for a more mainstream and known characters. I would expect something like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat and Kasumi from DOA.

I know, I mentioned that in the thread. Was it canon though?
how you figure that? he may not be from a fighting game, but all he does is fight.

Capcom, Namco, and SNK characters in the same FG? When's the crossover.
Throw Sega in too pls.

5 had a low budget and bombed so that's the end of that chapter.
I feel like I made a mistake getting the disc version of Street Fighter V. Games like these should be digital so it can always be available. Oh I wish the PSN store at least did 20% off of new releases like Amazon Prime.

more sf charac5ters would make sense.
SC5 sold really well.

not as well as sc4.

it's all relative
Sakura and Sagat. Been saying that since DLC was announced and it makes the most sense. Sakura can give us the classic Tekken school stage too and she can have a costume that's NOT a schoolgirl costume as well. They also play different from Akuma to a degree but not too a large degree that they wouldn't be using them to test SFxT.
Let's get it.

Guys, I think I know who the two guest characters are:

SC4 had a larger budget and Darth Vader, Yoda, and Starkiller as guest characters.
Relative to what? Sold as well as TTT2, SF5, and pretty much any fighting game not Smash or NRS.

i get that man but my point is it just did not sell as well as its predecessor. regardless of circumstance

Not a very interesting season pass... unless the 2 guest characters are really worth it, a new mode and some costumes doesn't do the trick...
And my point is that it sold well, regardless of how much better its predecessor did.
But enough derail. SC5 sold well (1.7 million copies at least), and Project Soul has been teasing something for a long time.
I think the series is dead, too, but it wouldn't be SC5's fault. SC5 barely got made after SC4 sold over 2 million copies. SoulCalibur is just not a priority at Namco.

Disappointed at them putting characters behind the season pass, but at least they're guest characters.
Jotaro Kujo and Boruto lets go!
I saw a ton of people that paid $100+ to play as Seong Mina in that F2P game. Really surprised they didn't even try to do a Tekken Revolution style game.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Pac-Man and Nightmare. Pac-Man will be a Dr. B creation with a slightly mechanized look, and he'll come with an arcade stage filled with classic Namco cabinets. Nightmare will have a new costume designed by Soulcalibur artists and come with an Ostrheinsburg Castle stage.
I think Geese is a good fit, but I don't know if he's "mainstream" enough for this. He'd only excite the most hardcore of fighting game fans.

I can easily pass on this. Pay now for mystery content a year later? That's clearly only for the superfan completionists.
I assume it follows Super Robot Wars rules (which it's canon to) - everything in the source games is canon to it, what happens in it isn't canon to the source games.
So if there's a PXZ3 where both the Mishimas and Gouki return, expect both Gouki's shenanigans in Namco X Capcom and Tekken 7 to be canon to it and referenced there, but the NxC events aren't really expected to count in the Tekken series.
And manage an orphanage and businesses and stuff, not to mention some shooting in Dead Souls - it's just that Yakuza games are closer to the 1-vs-many school of fighting games, while Tekken seems more likely to include characters from a 1-vs-1 series (which tend to have more more and account for more possible states, like crouching and jumping attacks, for example), and Sega has some famous enough characters in that domain they could resort to before someone like Kiryu.
Mind you, I still think it'd be cool to have him in, I just don't expect him to be the first choice - his move would probably be simpler to adapt to Tekken's control scheme while still making him feel like himself, and Yakuza also has some item-specific attacks which would play well with the fact recent Tekken games have had attacks modified by characters equipping items which are otherwise purely for aesthetics, so there's that too...
There aren't that many that would blend well with Tekken's aesthetics and weaponlessness though... still, I guess someone like Slayer could make it, especially with Eliza in the game...
Makoto and Alex seem like much better fits for Tekken to me, even if the Tekken engine by now has learned to coexist with projectiles...
And that's the game that people want that company to be after?

So we already know one of those is Akuma. Hmm, I wonder who the other could be? Maybe Li?
NipplesAndToes23

THAT WOULD BE FUCKING STUPID!
No. One of those is not Akuma. Akuma comes with the base game, not the season pass.

well then there we got our answer then.
if I had a 3DS i would've loved to play this game. the idea of kazuya and kiryu in a game together is just, yes!!!
so basically if the events of yakuza and tekken happened in X but not the other way around, basically it is an alternative universe.
in terms of the gameplay shit you're talking about yeah, Yakuza is very different but bandai namco knows how to adapt foreign video game characters. they'll make it work for Kiryu if he's there.
As for talking about Kiryu's personal life...yeah, he has one, as does Kazuya - running G corp and striving for world domination. Dead souls is also not canon so for all we know, the only time Kiryu seriously needed to use a gun was Yakuza 0.
yeah you're probably right in that he's not gonna be the first choice. so I suppose the best chance I have of seeing kiryu and kazuya going at it is a hypothetical playstation allstars battle royale sequel =P
I would rather have Gai Tendo from Buriki One. But I would be excited to see Ryo.

Gai Tendo is my #MCM
Gai Tendo the type of dude to make you forget about Hwoarang. Which is fine, because Bamco made him look like a Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist in this game.
