Guest Character Ideas

[C.C. 折オリ枝 の 夫]

So, I decided to break the monotony of the monodrama that's crying about the shop with a more Light-Heart type of thread.

So the rules for our little game here are very simple:
- up to 5 picks total per player
- the character must not come from a fighting game (them being a guest in another game is fine, but their og game must not be a fighting game)
- argument your reasoning

So, these are mine:

5. Tifa Lockhart - Final Fantasy

I'll get her out of the way first, it feels pretty much a guarantee that she'll come to Tekken sooner or later because even Harada was apparently talking about her. Not much else really, I don't have nostalgia for her so in my eyes, she's just another waifu.

4. 2B - Nier: Automata

Honestly, 2B would make a really good pick. Project 2B which was turning Noctis into 2B was a very popular mod in T7, she's also one of the most popular "cosplays" in Tekken 8, and she's already been a feature guest character in Soul Calibur and Blazblue Fantasy as well as having an anime, which just got it's 2nd season announced for April was it? Perfect timing to bring 2B as the summer DLC for season 1.

3. Gerald of Rivia - The Witcher

Gerald has the potential to be a very interesting character gameplay wise, as well as it would be actually interesting to see an older man in Tekken that's a murder hobo. Would love to see the Witcher potions be integrated as a gameplay element in Tekken, maybe as unique items?

2. Eve - Stellar Blade

She's just perfect for a fighting game character, she looks amazing, her combat looks just as amazing as she does and the game is looking up to be a major success, so adding Eve to Tekken would bring some of that here as well.

And now, the best of the best:

1. Sparkle - Honkai: Star Rail

I know that some of you would love some edgy schmuck that cuts himself while listening to My Chemical Romance like Blade or to be stepped on by a dommy mommy bait like Kafka, but no, Tekken doesn't need more of that. What Tekken needs is a little bit of insanity, and I'm not talking the boring and bland kind of insanity that are Debilu Jim and Bryan, no, it needs the unique blend of insanity that only the Masked Fools can provide, and there is no Fool better to fool around in Tekken than Sparkle.

Who is Sparkle? Sparkle is...Sparkle.

Before victor i would say big boss but they ruined this opportunity
Vergil cause he is vergil
Wesker he could have some interesting heat mechanics
As for geralt sure but victor still kinda ruins such a cool character (yes people would still pick him cause he is geralt but i feel like they just went with victor as an old man colonel sanders flashy guy archetype)

I mean, if they use his potions as unique consumables that buff him for say "next 5 seconds" or "next 5 attacks", with a HUD indicator so both players know which potions he used and how many are left, it would create a pretty dynamic character that takes quite a lot of skill to master.

Three chars from berserk nah guts is enough

[Big Chaddus87]

There are many legacy characters that I would like first. But if there really have to be some guests Akira Yuki or Tifa, I don't want to see other swordsmen or 2D characters, too much anime or absurd characters out of place like Negan
