If you've seen the injected humor into the entire series of Tekken, you would not be surprised at all.

AT ALL

I just saw a clip of Lee's Tekken 5 ending. It was.....something.

[satsugaikaze]

Or see Asuka's, etc.

Tekken 6 also takes the piss out of a lot of the characters (Law, Steve, Paul, Kuma, Xiaoyu, etc. etc. etc.), and tbh any ending other than maybe Jin's, Heihachi's or Kazuya's, shouldn't really be considered as part of the plot (lol).

New teasers.

The top-runners for the two reveals are Heihachi (who will receive a new Japanese voice actor, if it is him) and Rolento, although Sean's trademark basketball appears in the Rolento video, probably to throw people off or tease something else.

More teasers, this time for Lili and Zangief.

Now two dream matches can happen: Hugo vs. Zangief and Zangief vs. Kuma

But of course they needed to add jailbait to the game

Well, Sakura and Karin are now canonically 20-somethings, and Ibuki is around college-age (18-19), so someone had to fill that spot in. I mean, did you expect Necro's girlfriend Effie to suddenly develop a fighting style and join the fray?

3rd strike on xbl and you guys are still waiting for this? Fighting games don't get any better than the fight for the future.

3rd strike on xbl

As the wise guys from Two Best Friends Play once put it

"it's like I'm time travelling... into the future of the past"
So no, thanks

The TGS (cinematic) trailer, starring Rufus....who confuses Bob for Ken. Also, the debate over whether Zangief is gay or not gets more fuel thrown on it, thanks to Julia. No word on whether Rufus or Marshall Law (who gets a nod in the trailer) are in, though.

^Still images for: Rolento, Zangief, Lili and Heihachi. Also, now each character art has a "shadow version" of themselves. This little detail is going to be explained at TGS, according to producer Yoshinori Ono.

^Super Arts and Cross Arts for everyone except Zangief and Lili, who have yet to be assigned a partner.

^Main site for the game. Contains all the bios for the cast (and explains the tag teams) and reveals some details about the plot. Apparently, a mysterious item called "Pandora's Box" (shortened to Pandora) has been found in the Antarctic, and Shadowloo and the Mishima Zaibatsu are mobilizing to obtain it. And other people are also looking into it for various reasons.

TGS Trailers. Explains the "shadow versions" of the characters as a new....mode/thingie called Pandora. It kinda works like X-Factor from MvC3....but kinda not.

I spot Juri and Viper.....and....Mecha Zangief? Maybe alternate costumes will be part of the next reveal, I guess. The rest.....hell if I know.

If Capcom's ridiculous DLC tirade with SSFIV Arcade is any indication, yes.

Prepare for a buttload of alternate costumes. 



Funny, that - Tekken these days has always had an absurd amount of character customisation, whereas Capcom prefers to turn it into a cash-cow.
