Dragonfave723 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Lyrics translated via Google Translation @Darc_Requiem: Spoiler I'm not alone, but I feel lonely I'm zero point zero - in tune with my feelings I long for success but fear failure I'm dancing at the party, but I'd actually like to go home Rejoicing as high as heaven, saddened to death I would like the sun, but the moon is enough Just because I have excellent verses Doesn't mean my heart doesn't feel hollow And I honestly don't know where that comes from Even in broad daylight I see everything very blurry As if my core had been taken out at some point I've swam too long in this deep black sea I'm mentally unstable, I feel like a freak I am not waging war against the world but against myself I'm gripped by this cold, empty feeling after a victory No matter what I achieve, it will never be enough But I - keep fighting, my heart is my guide The self-doubter in me - my constant companion But I live on - quitting is not an option Fight your own demons and take the throne It runs like a red thread through my life Big deeds, little talking Because the - death awaits everyone Must face the - raw fear My heart is racing - memories painful But what doesn't kill me makes me stronger Feel the power inside me, call it core power And the force that pulls me down - gravity Breathe in - breathe out No turning back - just straight ahead The gawkers are standing at the garden fence When will his house of cards collapse? The pressure increases - lungs ask where the air is Blood, sweat, and tears shimmer quietly in the moonlight Need - not even a second, just a fraction Don't believe in good or evil, who is guilt-free? So focused - see everything in slow motion Haters look like ants from up here Break them down into protons - kick them in a high arc Through the galaxy back to the concrete floor of facts After a short streak of luck - setbacks follow Because so many want to see you fall like hyenas They don't dare to dream - they rob you of your joy Every day they see their lives being wasted But I wouldn't trade places with these people for even a day They feel pathetic, even if they deny it Feel free to laugh, I have a dream that means something to me Come on, boy, look into my eyes - do you see them shining? Bling Bling - I follow my instinct So call me the Kingpin - carry gold inside me Your motto is Lose Lose - my motto is Win Win They called me a little loser and an idiot While they slept, I continued training Write on paper - everything that is boiling inside me, no time to waste I died once already - because life shows you the bright side And some shit happens again But the Street Fighter in me wants to keep marching Maybe I'll get lost every now and then on the long journey He really has no manners - maybe they are prettier, taller, richer But in being me, no one stands up to me Ohohooo - And I'm not at the end yet Screw the little man with the scythe, tell him cancel your plans Don't wait any longer for gifts - I'm about to turn things around And they are now raising their hands for the living legend Was the taciturn choir boy - they called me a lab rat Didn't belong anywhere, passenger without a boarding pass I sold the mixtapes out of my gym bag Click click paper and pen became the murder weapon In every soul there is a king and a coward You have to decide whether you are a lion or a pig today I will release myself from the constraints within me until I am free Or do I listen to the choirs that just complain and doubt me And yes, timing is of course part of success But when the chance comes, I swear I'm ready I visualize myself killing and attacking How I spit and massacre and then bawl like a viking Let go of the traumas now, they taunted me as a toddler But I broke away, I'm no longer angry with them, I forgive them Only in battle do I make her cry terribly You feel the words penetrate you like a sharp katana This is a message to my former self The future scares you very much, but please don't be afraid Every word she says stings and is a burden for you But be sure that their light will soon go out shortly And of course I'm scared, the thought of it Failing cramps my entire mind That's why I don't wait long - because I'm growing from it I broke through this wall and I start the fight!

My reasoning for it was simple While i hope Dudley (or at least Rog, wich sadly is more likely) will make it in SF6, traditionally SF had one pure boxer in each chapter, with the exception of SF4 arc SF1 Mike SF2 Rog SFA Rog SF3 Dudley SF4 Rog and Dudley SFV Rog SF6 Ed? My fear is that now that they made Ed a more "pure boxer" (something he was'nt in SFV) they may feel satisfied and consider boxing covered in SF6 On reality i think by the end of SF6 i'm 51% confident i will get either Dudley or Rog, but still that 49% concern me as despite giant improvement i still don't consider SF6 Ed an ideal boxing rep for a SF chapter Imho Dudley >>> Rog >>>>>> SF6 Ed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SFV Ed Not listing Mike as in ideal world Mike is just Rog lol Edited February 14 by CESTUS III Dracu 1 Quote Link to comment

Hawkingbird Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I haven't checked into this thread in a while so I don't know if this was discussed already. I started playing Tekken 8's story and I fucking hate it. I've never had my intelligence insulted like this since the peak dark ages of WWE programming. How the fuck does this narrative treat war criminal Jin like a shonen protagonist and expect me to just buy into it? How is the villain of the story the only one making sense when it comes to Jin? How is Jin walking around free backstage in an arena and not having most of the people in try to kill him? The worst thing about this for me is that this story can work if someone else was the protagonist. This story would make far more sense if Lars was the lead over Jin. Quote Link to comment

It's definitely Bosch and they're definitely teasing his survival/return; https://x.com/82kmnr_works/status/1759008481074364694?s=20 The person with the cap running with the other Buckler recruits has the same hair and scar across the eye that Nakayama recently posted for Bosch (which you posted in the reply I quoted). I'm not sure if Bosch had this scar before being blown up at the end of World Tour because you can kinda see something similar to it under his hair in the other artwork Nakayama posted; Also to add a bit more fuel to the fire, Luke's birthday artwork has someone wearing the same hat as the NPC/Bosch. It's coincidentally just obscured enough to not see who it is for sure, but it's pretty obvious it's Bosch (thanks @Lord_Vegafor pointing this out on Twitter, I never noticed this until I saw you point it out); At the risk of being completely wrong in the future, I'm calling it now; Bosch IS alive and will be playable in the future, maybe as soon as Season 2. There's way too many deliberate nods here to chalk it up as just asset reuse or some random NPC we're not meant to notice.

You can kinda see it in the game too, before his brainwashing and sacrifice. Not only does the pink hat guy have Bosch's scar on his face, but also his shoes and same-colored pants. The pink hat just seems to be a recolor of his traditional red white and blue cap. I would go as far as to say that Bosch is indeed alive after the events of the World Tour.

bakfromon Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Totally forgot that the pink hats were part of the tutorial mission that the Avatar picks for both of them.

Yeah, we spoke about it before but the pics you posted are super clean compared to the material we was using (screenshots made by the first dude who noticed it and made a reddit post), wich help us get final confirmation is indeed Bosch 👍 Another kinda anime foreshadow was his lil sister Yua words, she's sure he'll back no matter what 8 hours ago, bakfromon said: The pink hat just seems to be a recolor of his traditional red white and blue cap. I would go as far as to say that Bosch is indeed alive after the events of the World Tour. The pink hat is the same he bought in the first mission with our avatar (timestamped) Bosch started have good time after passing bit of time with our avatar, there's a cutscene where clearly imply that would love continue that life but he can't (as he have his mission to free Nayshall from JP) I like the idea he refused help first time, but now changed his mind The hilarious part is how useless has been under story pov Avatar beating JP's (JP himself laugh about it) We did'nt killed him We did'nt captured him We did'nt achieved shit lol Guess one possibility is Avatar at least took Bosch body to give him decent funeral, only to discover that he was still alive and transported him somewhere (Nayshall rebels cave-HQ?) then was chosen live undercover at Buckler being safest option for him I think in S2 we will find him as NPC at Buckler HQ, curious to see his moveset if is changed... very first Bosch used Luke style because was training at his gym, but after we seen bit more of his unique style, even if was Psycho Power version, would like see a version of the latter without purple shit lol Speaking of PP wonder if he's clean now or got still some inside his body EDIT: @bakfromonbeen faster on the hat 😄 Edited February 19 by CESTUS III bakfromon 1 Quote Link to comment

Kinda like how Bison implies Nash is dead after shooting him with aircraft and then throwing him from a waterfall , or how Akuma implies the same with Gouken. They both turned out to be alive after even after having suffered mortal wounds (although Nash had some help from Illuminati.) There seems to be a running theme in SF that even if a character has canonically suffered severe damaged and is implicated to be dead it doesn’t mean they’re actually dead.

Yeah lol iirc back when we was discussing this, i made the joke in SF if they say you're dead you're probably alive lol Btw as said also Yua's words where huge hint, was something like "does'nt matter what happen to him, Bosch will ever return to me" Another point made in the past, speaking of Yua our avatar words were even bigger hint... if he was dead, after beating JP avatar would have took the body (wich looked charred but still entire) for the funeral and his family/Yua will know Avatar had to tell that because can't break the secret Bosch survived Quote Link to comment

It seems to me, at least from the outside, that Namco royally fucked up with Jin and more or less tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Like they regret that arc, if they were insistent upon going doing that route with Jin, maybe they should have had Devil Jin just take over. For all the insanity with Devil Jin it seems, not deep into to Tekken, that "regular" Jin did far more evil. From a story standpoint, what evil had Devil Jin actually done? From my basic understanding, the only time Jin went "Thanos" he did so of his own free will. Quote Link to comment

Pre-T8 he had no control of the transformation and would go berserk. In T6 he takes control of the zanbatsu, declares war on the world and starts mass murdering people around the world so he can awaken Azazel, the originator of the devil gene. This was a conscious decision on Jin part. What T8 is trying to do with can fuck all the way off. Quote Link to comment

Dracu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Man, I hope Tom becomes playable sometime in the future, keeping his Jean Reno inspired design. If he's stronger than Alex and has ties to the Secret Society, he would certainly be a fun addition with plenty of intrigue around him. I think you can easily tie Remy in their story too, considering his rivalry with Alex in 3rd Strike was never really explained. Maybe they're estranged brothers, or maybe Remy is Tom's son, who was forced to abandon his family after getting entangled with the Society and wanted to keep them safe from harm. This would make Remy more involved in the story, while also demonstrating some of the reach The Secret Society has and their influence on the SF3 cast, much like how Shadaloo have been for the SF2 cast.

I was more or less spot on thinking Tom having greater technique and Alex compensating with being larger/stronger... to some extent how i ever tought Nash and Guile, with the latter that ever felt like less skilled but stronger/tougher guy One guess i made back then was that further hint Tom is that good, is that ill usually does'nt fuck up fighters, as see them as valuable precious creatures for his new world... this made me guess Tom was so good to force him into a serious fight rather than hold back/soft sparring I also have the theory Tom may have defeated Urien, as Urien for some mysterious reason hate Tom (add that maybe also know Gill defeated him, would further worse the humiliation) But learning Tom is supposed to have big gap above Alex, actually by the answer even physically Alex consider Tom the superior fighter All this make me think even more that Gill vs Alex may have been to some extent a troll job (like often Gill does) We know Tom admitted Gill fucked him up in a fair fight... and Tom seems to be much better than Alex Later with Oro we learn Ryu and Gill are around same level, and we know Ryu it's absolutely superior to Alex (literally perfect him, showing him there's a whole league above) -Vague answer about him having brothers/sisters is interesting, open door to bunch of theories (in particular involving Secret Society) -The vague answer about Ryu maybe it's related to Q&A covering just NG, while later in TS they fought 4 hours ago, Dracu said: Man, I hope Tom becomes playable sometime in the future, keeping his Jean Reno inspired design. If he's stronger than Alex and has ties to the Secret Society, he would certainly be a fun addition with plenty of intrigue around him. Would love that, hope they did'nt gave up on Alex lore to focus on Luke... lucky SFV ASF still recognized a future ahead for him Btw yeah even without rights hope they stick with Jean Reno look, at least to some extent 4 hours ago, Dracu said: I think you can easily tie Remy in their story too, considering his rivalry with Alex in 3rd Strike was never really explained. Maybe they're estranged brothers, or maybe Remy is Tom's son, who was forced to abandon his family after getting entangled with the Society and wanted to keep them safe from harm. To help that one cool detail about Tom profile is his "likes": Patricia, training, croissants, Alex Croissants may link him to France, be it wink at Reno or hint about potential link to Remy's story (or both) Being italian (where is pretty common breakfast food, just got one lol) no idea if for americans/New Yorkers croissants are a bizzarre choice or common there too, but would not be first time Capcom use food in the likes thinking at the character national/cultural background 4 hours ago, Dracu said: This would make Remy more involved in the story, while also demonstrating some of the reach The Secret Society has and their influence on the SF3 cast, much like how Shadaloo have been for the SF2 cast. Would be ok with Remy making it into SF6, guaranteed new design would help him lot too lol If ever happen hope they would take it as chance to make him Savate rep... or better to be more accurate Remy using open hand for slaps and palms make his style more like Chausson or very early street Savate, the "ancestor" of what later became the "sport Savate" we know today wich like kickboxing for arms strikes just use normal boxing techniques Considering how anachronistic SF is it's possible Remy without father could have learned it in Paris streets Dracu 1 Quote Link to comment
Dracu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 He doesn't have to be 100% lookalike. Just keep the crooked nose and his wide shoulders. Just don't use the look Kiki gave him in the CFN profile, where he looks like a twig haha CESTUS III 1 Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 (edited) I found the answer about Ryu's favorite type of woman interesting. I maybe reading too much into but the meaning Sakura's name makes me wonder. Cherry Blossom's bloom to signify the beginning of Spring. Ryu's favorite type of woman "looks good in the Japanese Spring time." 🤔 Edited February 21 by Darc_Requiem YagamiFire, Hawkingbird, Shakunetsu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

It's a Twitter Thread. You click the Alex one and you see the others. At work, so I only read a few of them. Alex, Ryu, Sean, Elena, and Oro to be specific. Sean and Elena are 17 years old. So that means Laura would be 23 at the time and Fabio would be 24. It makes me curious about SFV's time line. Sean looks 15 at most when he runs into Ken.

The rest should all be below Alex's. Edited February 21 by Scotia ShockDingo, Darc_Requiem, Shakunetsu and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment
