Your Ideas for new character concepts / Fighting Styles in Tekken

[Molle_Kontrolle]

I was wondering what fighting styles (and character concepts attached to those) everybody wants to see in Tekken.

Please don't spam your wishes for returning characters here. This is about NEW concepts.

Skip the rest of my introduction if you don't care and post your idea.

Here is my idea for a rivalry:

Pascal - Member of the voluntary fire brigade, who lives in a German village near a small university town. He enjoys booze, playing Fifa on PS4 and getting in bar fights with students on his free weekends in said university town because "they think of themselves as something better".
Fighting style: Drunk Brawler with a beer mug.

Konrad - Student in a small German university town. Has never delivered or received a blow in his entire life. Deems himself a proficient fighter though, because he spends his nights watching Matial Arts demonstrations on Youtube and visited a seminar for medieval sword fighting once before it was cancelled. Can destroy the opponent's moral by saying: "This would never work in a real fight". Also very difficult to hit due to his very evasive "duck away and run" stance.
Fighting Style: Running and a mixture of poorly executed moves adapted from Youtube.

Jokes aside, I am curious what you guys come up with. I would like to see a female badass Krav Maga practitioner.

King Armor King. He's just King, but he has a cool and edgy costume, so no one needs to ask for Armor King anymore.

King Armor King...genius concept. The roster is too large anyway.

Misha. He's a polar bear adopted by the russian army and Dragunovs best friend. He has the same move set as Kuma but his lows are 2-3 frames worse on block. All ws punishment will whiff if you try to punish him. Instead you gotta crouch cancel and do standing moves.

edit: also he has a different unblockable.

I would like to see what would develop if the idea of tekken force soldier was used...they had the stripper concept.
I am not saying we need a stripper, but idea of a tekken force character could be cool, and it could fill holes in the story.

I agree. They don't have to stick to the visuals that were suggested but it would tie into the game'ss story. Now, I don't expect a great story from a fighting game but it is nice to see some coherency at least. For me it would be most important to see actual martial arts represented. And if not that, then at least new chars should be interesting and not super easy and generic to play. I really don't like the chars that were introduced in Tekken 7. Very bland and overly simple.

My Tekken OC do not steal.

A Jackie Chan that actually fights like Jackie Chan and doesn't just lay down. Real Jackie can parry mids and lows while backdashing. And his cat style where he jumps up and wraps his legs around the opponents torso so he can claw the face repeatedly is nuts.

I love Jackie Chan too. Was mesmerized by his movies as a child and teenager. But Tekken has Lei already. I understand you know that of course. But I think Lei is a magnificent omage to Jackie Chan. There is no need to change him. And even if you wish for it, it is not going to happen.

A Tekken Force character who believed he was left to die in the midst of chaos when Lars rebelled. Life was sustained by technology within the Mishima Zaibatsu, holds a huge grudge against Lars.

Martial art "pencak silat" from the movie "the raid".

DOA6 nico got it all very wrong on pencak silat. I believe tekken will do us justice like wing chun leroy. Theres never been pencak silat in FG.
