Kazumi paying homage to Jin and Devil Jin with her b,f+2,1,4 and b,f+2,1,1+2 came as a pleasant surprise to me, as did her Tiger Uppercut being executed with a simple d/f+2.
Cody Fuqua me too, very surprising why the tiger uppercut is a simple df2 , and not qcf2 or something. and yes Her moveset is too small ,still have rooms to add and improve .I heard people discussing about her not having a good low move. The tiger grows on me.Its not bad like other haters complain everthing new and I think its not broken or OP, the damage with the tiger in a combo actually fall as below average at times
Kazumi reminds me of Eliza, because they both have introduced new unique styles of fighting in the game (Eliza has 2d fighter-like projectile attacks, while Kazumi's tiger attacks are similar to the "assist" moves of 2d fighters). I didn't expect Tekken to go to this direction, but it's nice to see some elements of 2d implemented in 3d. Also if Mokujin's in this game I hope he will be able to mimic Kazumi; I wanna see his own version of her tiger
james It sure enough is! That move is actually one of the first things that sold me on Kazumi. I hate that they've taken it away from Heihachi (it worked especially well against Tekken 5's AI), and it pleases me to see it live on through her.
After seeing this, yep. Kazumi is definitely the new character I want to play as the most. All just my opinions of course: Claudio's design is okay, but I don't like his moves. Lucky Chloe's moves look pretty nice for the most part, but I don't like her design. I don't like both of Katarina's and Giga's moves and designs. Shaheen looks okay and his moves look pretty cool, but I'm not as interested as him as I am with this one. Reason being is that I like how Kazumi's moves flow more in combos and juggles than Shaheen. Also for the fact that it's been a while since we had another mostly hard-hitting woman. The tiger attacks will take some getting used to from me, but they do flow well with the moves she'd doing, and it seems that they do take a good amount of recovery for herself too, so I don't mind them that much. My only problems with Kazumi though is that I wish she was older. Don't really care what her reason for staying so young looking would be. I just wish that she looked older is all. Another is her clothes, or at least in the model. They look pretty bland since they are mostly gray/silver. There were supposed to be flowers designs lightly radiate from her clothes _(as seen in the CG art if you look closely enough)_, but they blend in so much in the in-game model that you can't see it at all, so it makes her clothes look empty full of silver or white with a bit of red.
***** I agree completely. There are *very* little older women in fighters while there are a ton of older men. It would be awesome to play as an elder woman in a fighting game for a change. I can think of only one series that have the courage to use older women as playable characters, and that's Power Instinct. In the latest game, they have *four elder women* as playable characters. They all are pretty popular _(mainly Oume Goketsuji and Elizabeth Belti)_ and are said to be some of the cooler characters by many of it's players as well, despite that Power Instinct is usually known for being quite a bizarre series. An older lady in Tekken as a playable fighter would have been awesome, and they had that potential with Kazumi, but unfortunately that didn't happen with her. They could have been the first 3D fighting series to ever have an older woman as a playable character. It's a shame to me, even though I still want to play as her.
Solar Kazumi looks very beautiful though. But yeah, I hope we get a 50+ aged grandma (biological age). I like how the cast is diverse when it comes to their age (from 16 to about 100) in this game. That's why I like the idea of Chloe in here (a childish young dancing otaku who can kick ass) however the game's getting crowded with schoolgirls, so an old woman is a good idea for taking a break from these schoolgirls.
james Oh, she's a pretty woman to me too. Just a bit of a shame that she isn't older looking. She didn't necessarily have to look extremely old, but just older than how she seems now. Like, she looks like she's in her early 20s. Wish she looked over 35 or 40. My main problem with Chloe is her clothes, mainly the jacket. Find that overdoing it for me regarding what she is trying to pull in her design. Get rid of that and she already looks better to me. I can understand people's complaints about her such as her voice and personality, but it's the clothes that got me. Also, yeah I agree. There's a lot of schoolgirls, or extremely young looking girls. Xiaoyu was definitely fine, seeing how she was the first, of course. Asuka and Lili were fine for me too. Alisa was rather odd, but she wasn't that weird and I got used to her. Then they added two more _(LC being bizarre to me and Josie likely replacing Bruce rubs me the wrong way, especially with her randomly crying)_ and yeah, there's a ton of them now.
Solar I actually don't consider Josie that typical "japanese schoolgirl," the only reason why some people think of her as that is because of the anime-ish look. She barely resembled a Filipino and looked more "Japanese-y." Judging from her intro and victory quotes, she isn't that typical annoying young teenager character that people hate in this game. But the definition of "schoolgirls/kawaii anime girls" differs from each person though (for some, it basically means just a young girl), so it's kinda difficult to prove my point. Tbh I hate some fans of the game who immediately hates a new char when it's a young female as if they only want the game to have hunk males and the anna-nina type females. Josie replacing Bruce(still not confirmed whether true) doesn't bother me that much but it's still sad to see someone getting removed, but the common reason people hated her is because she's a young girl replacing a male char that has existed in the roster for a long time (comments like: So bruce is getting replaced by another "annoying kawaii bitch schoolgirl cunt" fuck you namco). If you didn't really like Josie, then I respect your opinion
james My reason for calling her one of the young looking girls is because not only does she look like that to me, but also due to her random crying, which also sounds pretty baby-ish for some reason. I don't know why. I don't call any of these characters "kawaii" though. School girls? Sure. Young girls? Sure. "Kawaii"? No. I find when people use that instead of cute, they are talking about it as a way of being anime-like or an exaggeration of it, but I guess that goes to LC since that's one of the general approaches of her design, I think. I don't really have a problem with Josie because of the fact that she's a young girl and for even replacing Bruce _(still rubs me the wrong way tho)_. It's mainly because of her crying at random and weird moments, and due to her shirt. I don't like her shirt at all. Very shiny, bright yellow and whatnot. Even though it still looked bright in her concept art, I honestly liked how she looked in there more than in here. To be honest, I liked how Josie looked in there in general. I don't think the look that was in the concept art transferred well into the game as her model. I find that she lost a certain flare that was in the art that made her pretty in there compared to the model, but that's just me. Do I dislike her? Not really. She rubs the wrong way in some areas though, of which the ones I've already said, of course. Overall though, she is far from being as how bizarre I find Lucky Chloe, but not really that interested in her. I forgot to mention her in my initial post actually. lol Either way, I don't mind if anyone likes any of these characters. Go nuts if you like them, folks.
I’m sorry, but is this tekken or virtual fighter? Is this seriously the final boss or is there a computer only version that actually has a moveset worthy of a tekken boss? A tekken boss hasn’t been this simple and boring since heihachi from the original game.
jelaninoel The real final boss is her devil form. It has a moveset worthy of a boss but unfortunately the current version of the game still has her AI set to easy.
devil jin and jinpachi were competitive and they shoot laser beams and shit. They cant give the boss of the game ANYTHING that says I’m a boss?? Its just laziness
