So reina was pointless character all along

[Critzone]

Now that real heihachi will be added nobody will play her

[SEATEK The_LEFTY]

None of this makes any sense.

[valkiriepumpum]

Not only that, the story of Tekken 7 and Tekken 8 too :) , also Akuma lol . I uninstalled the game, I´m fed up. Microtransactions, endless DLC, bad customizations, the last patches messed up my graphic settings on the game. Nah, I´m good. I have all the previous Tekken so I´m going back to the old school ones.

[Pih]

Heihachi was in 7 from the beginning and maybe 3 people played him in the end. Reina is way more of a crowd puller than he will ever be.

Tekken has the worst writing in gaming history. Why keep wasting money with these flash over substance story modes if they're not going to put a percent of effort in the writing anyways. I'm not asking for a tightly written shakespearean masterpiece. I just want SOME consistency at the very least. But Tekken's more concerned with jingling keys in our faces. I'm not even gonna touch the story DLC

[C.D.J. Grazza]

Tekken has always had zany writing, always.

But yea, some consistency would be nice, cause the lore and the stories bewilder me sometimes. But then again, I'm not expecting Shakespeare from a fighting game story - just good mechanics and good balanced game play please!

which tekken already has , a bonkers story to add some crazy lore is just a plus

We are in a fighting game. Don't care about the story, I want the characters to be here to fight. If they die, they can return... Geese, Rugal, M.Bison (Vega), Gouken, Tung Fu Rue, they have all returned from death. It's not a problem. We just want tto fight with them. Not follow a drama like it was Game of Throne or a serious thing.
The only thing that matter in a fighting game, is who win and who bite the dust !

[Lazer]

Glad that I kept my distance from the brain dead hype around her, you have been all played if you thought she was something special lol. And worst of all she took another slot from other potential characters (Kuni, Eliza, Changs, Lucky Chloe) All better designs who actually have a porpoise and are more unique than Reina.

[Spooky7.62]

Idk I still might play her, stomping on people is really enjoyable.

[JyoKun]

Sorry, but Reina is so different from Heihachi. People will continue to play her. The real ones in danger are Kuma and Kazuya.

Okay then why hyping up Reina this much like Tekken 8 did as replacment for Heihachi? If you only care about gameplay you wouldn't want a million clone characetrs of the same Mishima fighting style in this game.

[Castyles]

There are LOTS of people out there who play characters only because of how they look. I don't think such players will drop hot piece of ass Reina in favor of oldman Heihachi.

Besides, their gameplay is only similar. It's not the same thing. Reina has more in common with Lidia than Heihachi.

True but you said it yourself; "worst writing". Tekken has always had really silly or downright terrible cut-scenes & endings.
But to be fair since T1 Heihachi has had a pet bear, T2 has a kangaroo & a dinosaur with boxing gloves, Alisa exists, fighters keep coming back to life... I don't think the story was ever remotely trying to be good. The T4 "stupid woman!" ending with Julia is my fav lol.

[Apollyon]

I'm pretty sure people will still play the female knockoff character in a fighting game, bud, don't worry. Almost none of the Reina players were Heihachi players lol, the connection is absurd.

[Two IQ Champion]

I don't understand why there has to be a story reason for it. Why can't they just add him back purely for gameplay?
