Law in Revolution..... Paved the way for the online community memes xD. Law was one of the most used, yes. But Julia (Jaycee) was used a bit more is what I'm getting at. Law was definitely not underplayed by any means though. Jaycee was just literally one space above him and Paul.
Everyone in EU on PS3 had AK as a supporting character for some reason. In Tag 2 JDCR was just tearing shit up with him and Heihachi as you already know, and that's probably what sparked the player base starting to use him more.

What sucks about T7 is that all my subs are deleted xD. Bruce, Armor King, and Julia are gone, Miguel is in but I can't play him armless. Josie is NOT at all like Bruce despite having a lot of moves from him, and Eddy is my main but only playing him at a competent level and everyone else barely scraping Yellow Ranks and Vanquisher is boring. I'd have a lot more hours on Tekken if AK and a Chang was in it.
