Nahh that's just bad for venue ticket sales

[@sliippy2152]

doubtful but I'd be happy to be wrong here. usually tweets like these are pretty much absolutes

[@BrymalDX]

Maybe But I think that would only work if they just stay silent and then Harada is just on stage pretending there's no trailer Straight up announcing that there will be no trailer would just hurt their audience ticket sales/participation

[@Affiliate067]

Buying Armor King as DLC TWICE is diabolical.

[@Ace-of-spade]

not diabolical but more like greedy and selfish

[@Affiliate067]

@Ace-of-spade agree

[@christianjeanbaptiste9441]

theyre gonna have to introduce some characters from the old dlc into the new ones as dlc if theyre returning its not like they were just gonna add all of them for free in the base roster, that doesent really make sense imo, just my opinion tho

[@afabor]

did it with lidia tbh lmao

[@ohpeep3723]

That's how video games work. Street fighter does it, Mortal kombat does it. Every character-based games does this.

[@LukeCooksey]

This is just my opinion, but I don’t want guests. I just want to Tekken characters

[@lilmajin]

I'm with you on that unless the guest character is from Virtua Fighter and his name is Wolf Hawkfield lol.

[@redre1ated]

Whats good homie its Red, the character will be a Guest and it will most certainly not be Wolf. Guest characters are a big deal as we know. However, Namcos decision to go to the upcoming game awards is telling that this will NOT be a legacy character at all. And they opted to go to an event that will have more eyes on it. Also, Namco will need to pay to be at that event and go on stage to present. So, its a worthwhile investment for them. Namco was FORCED to unveil Heihachi earlier than expected due to the backlash of the Sea1 dlc leaks becoming true. As a result, they need to have a character that will move the needle. After all, how do you follow up HEIHACHI? It cant be a regular character. So, imo Heihachi was probably meant to be a late Season 2 or 3 addition. So, i can see this caused major changes. So, guaranteed, this reveal at the G.A show will be a Guest character. The easiest and safest would be Akuma as story wise it would make sense as the battle between h and Kaz was not addressed. But, it could be something entirely different ​@lilmajin

[@GOTTA_RUN]

Buying characters that should've been in the base game already

[@mexitalican99]

​@@lilmajin I can absolutely get behind that 🤘🏻

[@redre1ated]

​@@GOTTA_RUNI partly agree...however It's all subjective for us players...Hell, i would love the return of MY main *Lei* but who knows... Irregardless, the leaked Season 1 dlc ended up being true and resulted in a massive backlash for the game shortly after the reveal of Lydia and the next characters would've been the Cancer that is known as Marduk followed by Fakum... So, Namco called an audible and released Heihachi ahead of schedule. No way was he going to be this early let alone NOT being the Final character of a season. So Namco is kinda scrambling to have a character to close out Season 1 that can surpass Heihachi's shadow. So, Namco is aiming to go big and the TWT isn't a big enough stage. Had the Sea1 dlc not caused such a fuss....We would NOT have Heihachi and there would've been a reveal at TWT.

[@ericalfon1620]

"meet everyone's expectations" is the keywords here. Most requested char is Tifa, I know not everyone like her, but she might be the surprise Harada kept from us.

[@cvonia3745]

Majin, Yakuza is the perfect series to have a guest character from, so many people want Kiryu (the MC) as a guest character but it’s unfortunately unlikely due to his creator saying that he doesn’t fight women so it wouldn’t be possible. But the people in charge of the series now have changed so it could be a possibility! You should check out some gameplay of that series to see why so many people want him in it

@ Fahkumram is an original tekken character as well, I think he should come back if anything because this man lost his family and I wanna know how is he gonna get his family back after they’ve been captured. Fahkumram is such an interesting character I hope and pray that his the final dlc character for season one

[@ZiyaB3ast]

The season 1 pass states that "all characters will be playable by December 31st 2024" so unless they're falling behind on schedule, it's a very strong likelihood we're getting a reveal at the game awards. Now if they are falling behind schedule, harada will send us 500 pity coins and the character will be released in February

well its not an unfortunate news since its very likely they gonna show it on Game Awards a few days later after TWT since it has more audience and possibly a guest because... who else can top Heihachi reveal?

i wonder how many of your viewers beat tekken 6, that story mode section near the end was very difficult.

[@calebryan4602]

I feel the next dlc fighter should be Ogre. We got a glimpse of Jun's story in Tekken 8. It'll be nice to have a story centered around Jun and Jin, their journeys, history of the kazama clan, teachings and ect.... There we can experience the Jun story we never got to see, as well as her interaction with Ogre We'll fight as Ogre against Jun in the final chapter to see how she escaped.

[@dizzyforyou9469]

Hi! Its a Yakuza character. Tekken 8 already has a heat gauge mechanic (yakuza 1) a character named Reina (main yakuza 1 character), and the millenium tower (yakuza). It also releases in the same time frame as the next yakuza game! Harada really likes Yakuza!

[@lilmajin]

You might be onto something, Dizzy....

[@mexitalican99]

I've been hoping they would either have kiryu or majima since the beginning of T7. Really doubt it will happen but I will lose my shit if it does.

[@drkong2806]

Unfortunately the yakuza team has addressed there characters being added to tekken and they’ve gone on record saying they won’t because there characters don’t hit women

[@RickRockerMusic]

They also said Heihachi wasn’t coming back 😉

[@ItsDonBro]

Viewership is going to drop the second the final hit lands in the grand finals of this year's world tour..

[@tn_mateo5974]

It will be a Virtua Fighter character. VF5 REVO coming soon and they could announce VF6 at the show. Who knows though.

[@SM......]

Would be so weird to drop Heihachi and Armor King on the same season. Didn't even think about him coming back in S1 but tbh if is a non guest character AK is the most likely

[@faraj2576]

what i'm expecting is that they're waiting for The Game Awards and showing a guest character which i don't mind whatsoever

[@stevenchatman4892]

I am spreading this on every tekken KZbin channel. New characters Baki and Yujuro Hanmah! Go hard or go home! The game wants to be aggressive. What series is more aggressive than Baki!

[@CalibreMirai18]

I bet the 4th character will be a guest but honest i just want miguel to make it to t8. His movement in t7 was boring but i want him to make a comeback, man needs a good rework

[@SprussellSpout_Gaming]

Oh my God lil Majin I thought it was going to be something bad LOL I thought we was going to get a mortal Kombat "this is it for season 1 no more future DLC" type of news but if they're letting the new character cook for a minute that's totally fine because like what we got now is okay and we'll just wait till the new year might as well bring somebody new in on the new year hopefully in my opinion Julia Chang or Anna Williams

[@2-tone989]

The only character for me that would be more hype than Heihachi is a "Hanma" preferably Yujiro.

[@ADukesJustice]

I hope they announce team battle, (with actual matchmaking, unlike Tekken Ball) at TWT

[@D4r1n_04]

Man you gotta somehow convince Kingsman and you to 1v1, hes a very strong King player and I think you against him would be a super epic battle!

[@shiki8437]

I like anna don't give me wrong but since heihachi return is already a really really high bar to reach for any other tekken characters, so i think it gonna be a boss character or crossover bc there is no shot they make season finale less hyped then mid season.

[@mobilegamer4956]

The most popular character this year is Eve from Stellar Blade. She would be the most likely for a guest character.

[@AllThingsAction]

I would prefer legacy characters over guests, but they are gonna do what they think is best. I'm not sweating it.

Honestly this 4th dlc character needs to be able to top heihachi cause he’s the best thing to come out of tekken so far to me it has to be a guest cause anna bob kuni miguel aint going to do it i dont think armor king will be in season 1 he for sure comes season 2 though, but the last character has to be a guest i would love to see scorpion or sub zero in a tekken game might be just me but i would love to see it happen

[@5ninthavenue]

KIRYUUUUU KAZUMA!

[@thorcolossus]

@@5ninthavenuedoubt it will be him or any mortal kombat character. Mk is banned in Japan because it’s too violent. Reminder, Tekken is a Japanese company and if their own people can’t legally get the game, what’s the purpose for them. Plus mk1 is ending its content cycle. I don’t think it will be kiryu because the devs aren’t too keen on having him in a fighting game and they want to venture out, cross-medium. So I’m thinking, it has to be a game that’s popular, willing to collaborate and not too difficult to negotiate with. What games needs more attention and sales. A super popular franchise that will also be at the awards, winning big. The smartest move to make is Tifa. She’s a cultural icon at this point. Plus she the most requested character since before Ff7 remake released. Idk if it will be her, but it will be the smartest, most financially successful move they could make.

[@idontgetscared]

Not necessarily more hyped than hei8. But definitely needs to sell more or as much as him. The sales are important because it’ll forecast the sales for season pass 2. Which the investors need estimate sales for the earnings guidance. In order to sell more than hei8, they need Existing player base + new player base. So it’s likely a guest character because it’ll draw in people that’s outside of tekken. My guess is likely from another fighting game. Like Mai from SNK is pretty likely. I don’t think a random fan service character like tifa is coming. Tekken community might care about her but FF fans don’t care about Tekken and it’s a small incentive to attract FF fanbase to migrate over to Tekken just because of her as a DLC. I think Mai is likely but they can surprise us. Maybe Chun li lol.

As consumers it should be mandatory to know exactly what we are buying. With the previous leak, with the full cast illustrations, Capcom was forced to annonce the full 1rst SF6 season pass and finally they did the same for the season 2.
