TEKKEN REVOLUTION ORIGINAL CHARACTER POLL!!

Hello to all the members of the Tekken fan community out there! We have a very important and quite exciting event to announce.
TEKKEN REVOLUTION, our new free-to-play title for the PlayStation®3, has proved to be quite popular with the fans so we decided to unique and add some all new characters!
What do we mean by ‘unique new characters’? These are characters that existed previously in our undisclosed story setting materials, but have never made it into the game, or other unique ideas for characters that were proposed but never actually created. None of these characters have ever been playable in the series.
So, there are a few concepts, but it is not yet decided which ones we will actually make.

*Characters that are already planned to be released later in the series, obviously are not included in this list.

This event is a fan service project to allow everyone to take part in the process to decide which characters will make it into Tekken Revolution and to come up with something really unique!

PROCESS OF DECIDING CHARACTERS

1) The character concepts will be narrowed down to 3 by conducting a poll on the Facebook Tekken page. Anyone can vote, so make your vote count!
2) The Tekken development team will create character concept sketches for each of the three chosen characters.
3) The character concept will be chosen at the Fighting Panel at San Diego ComiCon on July 19th at 3pm by the audience and Tekken God, Harada-san(Twitter@Harada_TEKKEN). The method of selection will be a final vote, and discussion with members of the development team. We hope that the most vocal Tekken fanatics will show up to the panel. It’s your chance to speak your opinions directly to the development team!
4) Development of the chosen character will begin.
5) Release of chosen character in Tekken Revolution (timing of release is TBD, as the difficulty in development of the character depends on the concept chosen)
6) If the character proves to be popular after release, the chances of additional appearances in the Tekken series will increase!

(1) Sexy Female Tekken Force Character

A gorgeous and sexy female Tekken Force member, she is loyal to the Mishima Zaibatsu, regardless of who is in charge. As such, she was not a part of the rebellion started by Lars.
The original concept was proposed for Tekken 5, but the clothing was too revealing and the concept was scrapped for fears the rating would increase. The concept surfaced again for Tekken 6 but did not make the final cut.
There were several martial arts mentioned for this character, including Silat, Krav Maga, Savate, Taekkyeon, Systema, and Escrima.
If chosen, the design may need be altered in order to pass the ratings boards.

(2) Syake/Salmon

Originally planned for Tekken 3, punch buttons would cause the Salmon to flop around, and the kick buttons would make it release eggs, which was quite an idea at the time. However, arcades were still popular worldwide, and charging 100 yen (1 USD) per play with such a character was likely to be a problem. That, and the fact that character would be always be the target of Kuma, lead to the concept being scrapped.
If the Tekken 3 arcade board is hacked, you will notice there is placeholder data with the character’s name remaining. This has been discovered by a few hardcore fans in the past (video is on Youtube) . If, for some unforeseen reason, this character is actually chosen, development may be quite difficult.

(3) Female Vampire (A young girl, long imprisoned by the Rochefort family)

A young female vampire that has been imprisoned in a wing of the Rochefort Estate, where Lili was raised.
She has a dark personality, but her gothic attire and uncanny beauty are mesmerizing. During development of Tekken 6, she was proposed as a character that used an actual martial art, but also with fireballs, like a 2D fighting game character.
However, aside from Harada, a strange phenomena occurred in which many members got married or gave birth to children around the same time. As a result, not many staff were left at work to complete the character, and she was discarded. The concept was salvaged again during Tekken 6 BR, but the same strange phenomena occurred again and Harada locked the concept away in a safe, wanting to keep it secured within the development team since it (she) seems to bring good fortune.

(4) Shin Kamiya

A classmate of Jin Kazama who appeared in the 3DCG movie Tekken Blood Vengeance.
The fact that his implementation would impact the main story line, that he died in the movie, and that he doesn’t know any martial arts, make him a difficult character to be included in the game.
There were ideas to make him appear in the game as he was before he died, and also to have him be reborn as an immortal type of character.

(5) Tougou

Fellow Tekken Force member and friend of Lars Alexandersson, he joined Lars in the coup against the Mishima Zaibatsu.
He appears in Scenario Campaign in Tekken 6. His fighting style is similar to Lars’, but he also uses the sword on his waist for certain attacks.
He could also call in air strikes via his radio. Since he died in the game, he was never implemented as a playable character.

(6) Zombie Bride

A zombie bride to be in a wedding dress.
The idea first came up around Tekken 3 as the first fighting zombie in a game. The idea resurfaced again for Tekken 6, as the sister of Miguel, who was called in an air strike and came back to life.
Since the fighting style for a zombie would be quite difficult to create, the idea was scrapped.

(7) Female Paul

For some inexplicable reason, Paul is transformed into a girl, but the appearance is of a very cute girl. The concept was thrown out in 2 seconds, as it was too off-the-wall.

(8) Giant Praying Matis

During development of Tekken 3, a bug caused the joints of a character to move backwards, and the character model was deformed. It looked like it would be a strong fighter, so there was an idea to actually implement it, but the idea was discarded for lack of development time. Like with Syake/Salmon, the Insect blank data can be found when the Tekken 3 arcade board is hacked. This was also found by some very hardcore fans, and video can be found on Youtube.

(9) Average, run-of-the-mill Old Man

You average old man, like the one you find in almost any neighborhood. He is not a martial artist, so he is pretty weak.
It was an idea mentioned early in the series, and thrown out the instant it was mentioned.

(10) GANMI-chan

A teenage female Sumo wrestler who idolizes Ganryu.
The original idea was proposed for Tag 2, but was discarded 5 seconds later in order to focus on increasing the popularity of Ganryu.
A character sketch was completed several years ago, and the result was of a cute character, like you would find in Idol Master.
 
Sumo character? Sounds neat.

KOF already did that with Hinako! :D copycats! :D

i have a hard time choosing between 1,3,5,6,9,10

3 seems like something intresting but i would be happy with any of the above !

I'm very intrested by the good fortune event ... ( would be nice if they integrate that into the story afterwards )
 
Sadly, Shin will most likely win this despite not actually being a fighter.

I'll be pretty upset if this is Tougou's only chance to join the roster.
 
Shin is was a forgetable character. So much so I forgot he even dies or what he even did in the movie...

Voted Zombie Bride and hoping it'll be Miguel's sister. Anything for Miguel.

Voted 1, even if I am a bit concerned over the fact that she was ditched for T5 because they thought her clothes were too revealing. If the idea is for some kind of partially-armoured bikini thing, I will immediately regret my decision.
 
Sounds about as bad as the proposed list for the Skullgirls PC beta.

That said, Tougou and "Sexy Female TF character" sounds interesting

being a pratictioner of krav maga,i have no idea how a krav maga user is supposed to work in a fighting game
 
Dammit, couldn't rename the thread in time.

Can any mod reading rename the thread so it says that you vote for only one character? I made the thread too fast. :(

If I could be bothered with Facebook it'd be a toss up between a salmon and a praying mantis.

It's probably for the best that I can't vote.

Sexy Female Tekken Force would have been my pick, but man, I love salmon.

This makes me want to pull out TTT2 and actually try learning it but then I'll just be sad that the characters aren't as crazy as the ones in this poll.

Will Shin Kamiya - Heihachi be a 0-10 matchup?

Cause it seemed like it in the movie even though Shin was supposed to be immortal.

Oh my god this is driving me mad, every time I go to vote in the poll it says "You must like this page before voting!" and guess what, I do like this page!


Kept happeninng to me too... :/


All options are bad: weirdos, dead characters and "sexy" options...
The female Tekken force member sounds interesting, and I'd like to see Tekken's take on Krav Maga, but the concept could do away with the "sexy" factor, there are already enough characters in the series catering for that, namely the Williams sisters. Something like a female Dragunov (or Mortal Kombat's Stryker, but with no weapons) could be cool and welcome.

Also, Tekken-chan should be one of the options - does Namco Bandai not have full ownership over her or something?...
