Tekken

Do you think Zafina will be cut in favor for that new Saudi Arabian character ?

Maybe she was too controversial in T6/TTT2. Please say no that would be a shame.

I think she'll be ok, she's new and can be redesigned... again.

Plus the only Tekken 6 character is Leo.

How was Zafina controversial?

How was Zafina controversial?

. Well I don't have interview stating this, but I heard that she was redesigned in TTT2 because some muslim communities found her dress offensive or too "provocative". That's why they gave her white pants instead. I found a tweet supporting this theory.

. There was also a debate around her nationality, she went from "somewhere in Middle East" (T6 bio) to "Indian" (interview) to "Egyptian" (TTT2). And lately to "unknown". (July 2014)
Look at this tweet. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/nf4a2l

. Also I might be wrong, but I think she's the only character not to speak her native langage in TTT2 (not sure though).

That's why I'm asking if she might be cut. I feel like this new arabian character - Shaheen - is to make up for her loss. His fighting wasn't revealed, he had some assassin gear in his concept art (knifes)... so I'm worried.

In my opinion she was the best addition in T6, and she's my best friend's main (mine is Leo, another amazing newcomer from T6). Not having her in the game would make me feel sad.

I see.

Zafinas just a troll character people fall back on, everybody has been playing her recently from tekken gods like KNEE to intermediates like ricksteezy. Just do some danny with her and then at the last leg of the match just twerk your way to victory.

 

[UncleKitchener]

Look look at you amigo 'danny'

Oh Aris, you fat fuck. Funny, but still a real dickhead. Lovably dickhead.

Zafina has great crushes but outside of that, she still can't elevate herself that high. Good anti-mishima character like Lee, but she ain't that amazing. Her low-crush lows and tag fillers are actually pretty good.

 

[CFW]

Zafina really isn't that great of a character that's true. The only thing that really REEEAAAALLLLY helps her is matchup ignorance.

For tag I think it's good to pair her with someone who has a good wallcarry. This is her best version tho.

Let's hope not. She was the only reason I actually wanted to play Tekken without being force-fed by peer pressure or because the music was great.

Even so, given the way the story went, Zafina has served her purpose in T6 and supposedly killed herself. So I'm not getting my hopes up too high.

 

[CFW]

Lmao don't take those T6 endings so seriously. A lot of elements can be used from TTT2.

Actually, TTT2 opened up a lot of possibilities.

Tekken has always had a lot of characters so just do some soul searching if she doesnt make it.

Like making Feng a potential main antagonist?

Like making Asuka a potential main protagonist?

Like Jin and Hwoarang being best friends and rivals again?

Like Xiaoyu, Panda, Miharu, and Alisa being a vigilante magical girl gang, with Xiaoyu possibly being the alter-ego of Lucky Chloe?

Like Nina finally getting along with Anna and becoming their own clients, assassinating who they like when they like, and having Steve Fox share their wealth?

Like Kunimitsu officially revealing she was born a man?

Like Lili finding out who her mother was?

Hey that T5 ending of jin being the next heir/may be current heir to the mishima zaibatsu became true.

 

[petopia]

Unless your referring to this picture. Smexiest female character in the tekken franchise.

Does no one find it disturbing that not a single d@mn girl revealed in Tekken 7 (minus Katarina possibly) is older than 19? I mean jesus they're even beating DOA right now in the number of teenage girls. Characters like Zafina, Anna, and Nina (in addition to their moveset) provided some variety to the cast. I don't like the path T7 is heading...

Yeah but unlike doa they arent being juvenile about the panty shots and quote on quote being a tease. Tekken sure has females under 19 but they dont emphasis the body parts like how DOA does it. Hell you can even make the guys show some skin like the but flaps, neat aint it.

 

[Jyakotu]

We have to keep remembering that Tekken 7 on consoles won't be here until 2016 at the earliest. A lot of characters have yet to be revealed. You honestly think they're going to have a Tekken roster with no Nina or Yoshimitsu, staple characters who have been in the roster since the beginning? Let's just keep calm and enjoy whatever information Namco is providing at the moment.

I always found it amazing that Nina is the only female in the series to be in every game

Sadly, that's because nina is one of the most important female character in the series

Apparently she only gets netsu with Jin in TTT2 since he saved her from the clutches of ogre's brain washing during tekken 3.
