Who is Leroy Smith - His Story - Tekken 7 lore

Taking a look at the Tekken's new Wing Chun Master Leroy Smith.
covering leroy smiths story and fighting style.
Tekken 7 new character

[@mrvercetti6014]

He's the most interesting black fighting game character since Eddy Gordo's first appearance in Tekken 3.

[@agonleed3841]

fucking Bruce Irvine

[@robertdavis6917]

Bruce Irvine for me!, if I play Tekken Tag, Bryan Fury is always teamed up........

[@neonstewart6858]

@@robertdavis6917 nah he is one of the best to play as (bruce) but his story was so dry😭

[@vandagylon2885]

Well, Eddie is Brazilian

[@BigBoss-sr6ur]

Van Dagylon Brazilian people are black, the fighting style was created during slavery. To try to separate black people by nationality is even more racist. That’s like saying I’m not black because I’m American, ignorant ass.. mind your business

[@Joeykm1972]

In World of Warcraft, there was Leroy Jenkins. In Tekken, there is Leroy Smith. They'll both be remembered for their infamy in their respective games.

[@Saiyanryu]

Leroy gets a 20 / 10 from me, especially when compared to all the other Tekken 7 newcomers.

[@crushglobalists8640]

Best girl Josie?

[@NuLORD66]

@Based Hip Hop Lover na Shaheen doesn't fit as a hero, should've been a villian like heihachi going after dragonov but lerpy definitely the best new comer for T7

[@Xannyphantom905]

You have terrible standards

[@coolunclesip858]

He and fahk are definitely fresh air to the lore

[@neuro1073]

Smith then what’s the best newcomer by your standards?

[@zichithefox4781]

I just really got into Tekken. I decided to main Leroy just because of how sick he looks, and he's genuinely fun to play.

[@feelthecrash]

10/10 one of the coolest new characters in any fighting game! 🐐

[@domminicamalan8713]

He gets a 10 out of 10 for just being a Wing Chung practitioner.

[@belteshazzar5179]

It worked for me

[@domminicamalan8713]

@Embodiment of destruction I have no problem with it either.. And I live in Baltimore City.. sooooooo.....

[@domminicamalan8713]

@Embodiment of destruction I too am a retired soldier.. and have not had a problem with the application of Wing Chun with my fights.. I don't claim to be the best at it nor am I the best fighter (we both know there is always someone out there that can beat you). However I'm short and wrestling never fit with me. Wing Chung allows me the speed, precision, and effectiveness to beat most of my opponents. The only fights I've lost while utilizing Wing Chung are when I was out numbered. Every person has something they do well. I box and am a Wing Chung practitioner. Those two styles of fighting suite me and suite me well. Plus it helps that I don't take traditional stances when fighting.. I understand that you don't have any faith in martial arts and that's fine. However there is no better fighting style.. just better fighters.

[@domminicamalan8713]

@Embodiment of destruction This has nothing to do with the culture or race.. (although I see your true feelings on the matter). It is simply about fighting. Whether or not you can beat your opponent. No one should ever fight from a fighting traditional stance.. THAT is stupid. It's also bad form to flat out dismiss something you either don't like, see useful, or utilize yourself. I don't wrestle because I'm short. Puts me at a disadvantage. However W.C. and Boxing get me where I need to go. Jet Kun Do was made from Wing Chung.. you do know that right?? It's basically W.C. and Boxing mixed.. Not sure if you just watched videos on this or where your disdain for martial arts comes from but I see that this is a dead end conversation. You have your view on the matter and I have mine. Good luck to you and I hope you don't have to use what you know anytime soon.. Stay safe. Hooraaah!!!

[@domminicamalan8713]

@Embodiment of destruction ah, i get it now.. bot didn't work for you and your father so it's ineffective.. ok, next time just lead with that so we can avoid all the the banter..

[@brandonmuse5532]

He looks like a "Kung Fu Pimp"

[@Resvrgam]

Imagine what happens when his bitches don’t gots his moneys?! Crikey!

[@djnosleeves85]

Legend has it when leroy was born he parried the doctor from cutting the umbilical

[@corpsedesecrator2612]

So basically Axel Stone, Cody Travers, Ip Man, and Wang Jinrei but in a blender and you got this badarse. I didn’t know who he was but LeRoy Smith single handedly puts Josie, Lucky Chloe, Kasumi, Gigas, Katarina, Shaheen in their place. I’m still going to miss Wang one of my favorite Tekken characters do a Who Is Wang Jinrei next!!!

[@TheDanTheDan15]

He looks badass and awesome! His wing chun fighting style is amazing! 10/10 In my opinion.

[@XxhadoukenxX]

His family got Washed lmaoooo. I'm done 🤣🤣🤣

Leroy smith definitely has one of the best character designs and back stories thus far.

[@brandonontama2415]

Cool character, however I fear that because his aiming to get revenge on the Mishima family he will become an jobber. Hope that doesn't happen.

[@straightlead8]

Whats a jobber?

[@christianraines3032]

Someone who is used to make someone of a higher rank look good. Like in wrestling when a star wrestles some random person

[@thegreatpage5912]

His story was good until they somehow shoe horned the Mishimas into it. And given the 50 year timeline, wouldn't the Zaibatsu have been under Jinpachi's control during that time?

[@togucvinw7]

Heihachi is old af man Nigga was already in his 40´s by Tekken 1

[@jevonsims900]

Jinpachi helped train Kazuya as a kid and at that time Heihachi Mishima was leader of Mishima Zaibatsu.

[@mr.awesome6011]

@@jevonsims900 But Jinpachi was chained underneath Hon Maru by Heihachi and left to starve to death in order to control the Zaibatsu and take it global like he did. This is why Kazumi tries to kill Heihachi and Kazuya in order to prevent their (and Jin's) war.

[@LeonidThe90sKid]

The coolest character after Eddie Gordo probably. Took them a couple of decades but namco finally made an original character - without occult references either!

[@arx3516]

Never found Eddy cool, capoeira movements are quite ridiculous.

[@LeonidThe90sKid]

ARX 351 i'm going to have disagree with you... i understand if you mean capoeira isn't practical or effective for real fighting because it's very rarely used in mma. However there is this guy named Marcus Aurelio who is very successful using capoeira - he knocks out people with exotic kicks. But i don't think any martial arts fan can argue that capoeira techniques can be very acrobatic, spectacular and fun to watch. And personally i think Eddie's design is the epitome of cool as far as tekken characters go (with the exception of his "training bra" P1 costume in tekken 3).

[@davedanmodesto904]

Honest to god.. Say what you want but Leroy Smith's story is so damn good, Bandai could easily create a full movie based on Leroy's backstory. I don't know about you guys but I would pay god knows how much just to see that happen. XD

[@gaarablack2653]

10/10. Easily the best new comer in tekken 7.
