... so is this a crossover now...?

[Mirage]

no, he is a 100% canon character and it's pretty damn stupid

... I'm trying to wrap my head around his story now being attached to Heihachi. Couldn't they have made a new character?

I do hope that the effort they've placed into developing his story, and linking him into the game's world, is also spent developing certain other characters' stories, like the Laws, Hwaorang, and others who have been in the series for a while but don't seem to progress story-wise. At the same time, I am pretty excited to see how an SF character will feel with Tekken's game mechanics.

I don't think you can smurfing side-step raging demon. I wonder if you can catch a bounding enemy with it? How will they keep it from being stupid powerful?

Meanwhile, King will get no love.

Which one of you crossed the streams?

King will always get my love!

I think I would've liked the reveal better if they didn't announce it. Like, you beat Arcade without getting KO'd once and using at least two supers, and BAM. Akuma shows up, uses raging demon on Heihachi, and suddenly Akuma's in Tekken 7.

I'm curious how they're going to balance him too, though. Maybe with the new gameplay mechanics they're using for this one, there's still some balance.
