So. Heihehachi is back. HIs fans are very happy, most of them anyway. Thing is, I’m one of his fans. He’s one of my favorite fighting game charachters. But the thing is, Tekken 7 was supposed to be the fucking END. Thats what we were told, “the Mishima story is over, he’s dead now, for real this time”.

WE never should have believed it lol. But here’s the thing. IT didnt have to be this way.

Fighting game designers are scared to kill off charachters becuase people main them and want them to be in each game. OK, cool. Here’s the thing, bringing back a character does not mean they have to be part of the plot lol. You can just… have them be playable? But their prescence is totally extra canonical?

Thats what i wanted to happen with Heihehachi in this game. But no like. They couldn’t do it. They HAD to bring him back “in story”. Stupid.

They did the same thing with M Bison in SF6 this season but at least there’s sort of a new twist on how they’re doing it and at least I wasnt told that it was DEFINITLY the end of that charachter lol. For that one I’m just annoyed because there’s a ton of characters id rather be brought back (Dudley, Makoto, Poison, Menat, Alex, C Viper, Laura, Ibuki, Yun, Yang, Sagat, Vega, and Balrog all come to mind. Also Skullomania if they can get the rights). But its fine overall there.

I will be forever upset we don’t get the trans M. BIson we deserve. I want to see one of his dolls doing drag king Raul Julia. It could be glorious.

They gave up ruby rod as an cast member in 6. So I know they are willing to have fun. With it. We got voice training seth.

I want M. Bison to transition to female using psycho power. Then dress up as Raul Juila playing M. Bison. I am talking pencil mustashe. Martini in had. It would be the most amazing thing.

Yeah trans Bison has been on my wishlist for a long time. I thought it MIGHT be possible because of what they did with Seth, but they wimped out on it in 6 lol.

Fair, I for one dont know how to feel that a cyberpunk character, Lucy is going to be in guilty gear (I rlly thought if a guest character was added they would put a blazblue character in) it just kinda feels wrong. Idk maybe my opinions will change later

The first Guilt Gear guest should have definitly been Ragna.

Perhaps it should have been Amane Nishiki 🤔

(So I could play my bbcf main without arakune in the game)

I mean wire +gun zoner is straightforward, if kinda lame. Hacking was core to her character but idk how you pt that in a fg where 90% of the cast arent cyborgs

Tekken has a story? (I don’t play fighting games)

Pretty much every fighting game has some semblance of lore, Tekken is probably one of the more in depth ones though.

Wrong guilty gear is better

guilty gear’s story is great because it’s complete gibberish. the plot of the most recent game is that the entire white house gets kidnapped, and at the climax, the villain explains that his motivation is that he’s just a plot device to create conflict.

I’ve emerged from my sickness ascendant and powerful. I’m wearing my finest corduroys and I’m fully caffeinated. Do not fuck with me today. Mods, ban this post lest I rend this site twain over what fighting game series has the best story.

It is mostly based on throwing family members in volcanoes.

Bring my boy Necro back to SF already.

If they could do it for that ugly old man they can do it for funny opera man.

No need to throw Oro under the bus like that, it was enough of a miracle that he got in 5. I’m really pessimistic about Necro having a chance, especially since they have so. many. other SF3 characters to get through. Necro is at the back of the queue with Twelve and probably Remy, every single other character is getting in first, plus Vega, probably Balrog, definitely Sagat, fucking Mika probably . . . It’s just not a good position
