Yeah, they definitely overdid it with the beard again.

I like the wide-brim hat AKIs better than the mushroom hair we got. I'm glad Rashid didn't have a drone jetpack. 😛 I like the Ed with the hood over the cap.

I'll be honest, I don't really care about the avatar stuff. Because my avatar is pretty much exactly what I want them to be at this point, and I have no personal interest in making a bunch of different avatars. I have my Rude clone with a boxiing style, and that's all I need. I might switch out Specials/Supers depending on what we get, and I'd switch to Dudley's normals in a hearbeat. But other than that, I'm done.

I liked how the leak had 6 characters at least...

Nah. What they need to do is establish some kind of 'spirit realm' that's connected to Ki, so that, even once a character is dead, characters can still have battles with them. Even if those battles don't take place physically, they can still take place narratively. Gen's dead? Chun Li can still have a spirit battle with him. Guile misses Nash? Spar with him in the afterlife. etc.

Elena, Vega and Mika are all A+ picks. Bison is too soon, like you said. Sakura is what it is. A shoto every season is just expected.

Solid selection, and I'd be psyched to get 6 characters. Weird though to have Bison and Vega...but then Sakura instead of Sagat for the seasonal Shoto. "All they said about the new character is they look Middle Eastern or African." Aw hell yeah! Gimmie that Killmonger hair!

Just having his beard actually cover his chin improves his look SO much.

I could see Sean becoming more King Cobra-esque if he gained some confidence though.

Lol! Literally Popeye on the bottom left.

The FUCK did you just say?!

I was disappointed the Shadaloo Lab stage didn't factor into WT mode at all. Hard to get excited about these new stages if we aren't even going to visit them.

I'll be honest...ALL of Neo Shadaloo suck. Ed and Falke are boring, and the rest are fucking corny.

Lab F, Tube 14's.

I think it might just be a baby they found in one of the labs. They have monkeys and dolphins. A baby isn't impossible. Or that's just the visual effect of actually, ya know, wearing the sleeves.

Obviously. I just think it's time to get something besides the battlethong as her main. Just like Urien.

I'd really love to see what the SF6 team would do with Elena's design. I'd love to see her outfitted in something less rural.

They should have pulled a Code Geass. Have Jin kill Kazuya, then have Jin take up the role of the villain willingly, so that someone will kill him and erase the Devil Gene from the world.

What's their other option? Get rid of Jin, and then let Kazuya enslave the world instead? Because Jin is the only one who can stop him. It's not like they just gloss over it. It's gets brought up, like, 50 times during the story. Granted, he should probably be arrested when it's all over. But by the end, he's just saved the world. So according to Vegeta's Law, that cancels out the past atrocities.

Personally, I prefer that character themes not have lyrics in them. Yho is correct.

According to Oro though, all Ki powers are just different sides of the same power. Edit: Nevermind, you mentioned it later in your post.

I didn't think it happened during her creation. I thought it was because of clone degeneration as a result of Psycho Power. Yeah, the blog says he's still part of Neo Shadaloo too. Oh well. Neo Shadaloo is seriously some Blue Umbrella level dumb naming shit. "We hate Nazis and want to dedicate our organization to eradicating Nazis and helping the victims of Nazis." "What's your organization called?" "New Nazis."

Tekken 8's story is, great. Provided you don't care about more than 4 characters.

That doesn't make sense though, because Decapre's disfigurement is a result of some flaw in her creation process. I don't think either Cammy OR Decapre is the "original", if there even is one. I think they're both artificial. I don't care which lab it is. I just want it to have a remix of SF4's Crumbling Lab theme... Almost as cool as the first time I saw it. When it was called Metal Gear Solid 4!

Fantastic news!
