I'm annoyed that we can't have a King vs. Gief wrasslin' matchup. Seems to defeat the entire purpose of the idea.

Remember the cast list is still in development. And from the rumors I've heard, Zangief is on the list of potential characters.

Not to mention the guy is very popular. He was left out of MvC3 probably so 'Gief could be saved for this game.

Alex C:
He better.


And to answer your earlier question, Tekken has never made sense. As with most fighting games a lot of what's going on between characters depends on when in the continuity shit is happening and which endings from the previous game is canon. Here's what my guess would be based on that trailer. According to the Tekken 6 plot, Jin Kazama seems to believe that facing something powerful enough in battle could cleanse him of the Devil Gene that he fears will overtake him. His father, Kazuya (who also has the Devil Gene but will ruthlessly leverage anything that makes him stronger) wishes to kill Jin and take over the world himself unopposed. I'm guessing that Jin suspects that Evil Ryu might be powerful enough to count as the kind of opponent he needs or that perhaps Ryu can help him repress the Devil Gene in much the same way Ryu submerges his killing intent. Meanwhile, Kazuya would then see Ryu as useful bait to draw Jin into a final conflict. Hijinks and dragon punches ensue.

Storm Rider:
I am basically the furthest thing from a Tekken expert but who the fuck are Marduk and Bob? I would think that they would want to use more recognizable characters for the initial reveals to get people excited.
