Thoughts?

My take: Only if she's badass, everything-wise, like Street Fighter's Gen. Otherwise no for joke characters are, 9/10 times, just stupid, dumb and not even funny, to begin with.

It could be an interesting character.
I liked Lan of the recent Eiyuden chronicles game, a cross over would be pretty cool.
What's with that dumb comment in the link, the fool thinks he speaks for everyone.

[天佑中共🐥the light]

like Nyotengu and Cagliostro? yeah sure

[Mohsin_ramirez]

Use Victor as a match-up counter.

Think Dr Shipman.

Would be awesome with more diverse characters. Not in the woke sense, but a bit wider of a scope of what's allowed and especially with the ladies. I kind of want Wang back as well, he was cool. Would not mind seeing an older woman in the game either. If done well, it could be an awesome character.

Not every character has to be there to please the gooners.

Meanwhile it took Harada years to put Jun.
Project Soul removed Taki back in 2012 "cus she old"...

I'll just laugh on his thoughts. The man is a joke.

Depends how they go about her apperance.

If they go for a realistic portrayal of aging and decay this will be a very unpleasant character. But if they take some artistic freedom and suppress some of the more jarring effects of aging, we might end up with something good, like Sindel in Mortal Kombat 3.

Sindel is not a grandma

A granny is everything this game needs, right now. What an idea!
This will surely retain the player base, yes of course!
Usage rate? About 0.5%?
Tekken Granny Revival!

Ah, so he's talking literally a 80-year old grandpa sort of thing.

Yeah, that'll be pretty grotesque.

No, having grandchildren.
Like Heihachi or Wang

Ok, but he said he wants to make an "old woman character beyond Goketsuji Otane"

I looked her up and she looks like this;

Ah i read the guy replying not wanting a granny, so i assumed a granma
While i like the idea having a character like the Landlady from Kung Fu Hustle, i think it's kind of late? Because they are old, they should have been already established in the lore.

Like Leroy, where tf was he in the 7 previous tournaments? They tried to shove him in the Netflix anime, which is supposed to be Tekken 3 story.

[Merami]

someone like lady butterfly from sekiro? it would be absolutely sick
a joke character? then i prefer that tekken women stays the same

[ok i pull up]

This Harada dude is pretty weird. Did he ask Twitter for opinions when he made Victor, Azucena, and Reina? Nah

He knows what people will say; he’s just in it for those sweet internet points.

What I meant about MK3 Sindel is that she's an example of what an acceptable older female could look like.

Her face has SOME characteristics of older age, with the more grotesque real-life aspects toned down or omitted. Her body might be someone fit in her 40s or 50s, but with unpleasant details omitted as well.
