tyler2k: aris asked about the next wave of announcements, Harada said that it's coming but on hold because of Evo and other tournaments,, they don't want to pull a Mortal Kombat.
tyler2k: second question Was about cutting characters, Harada said it's based on player data
tyler2k: otherwise they make similar characters to basically revamp them, keeping them fresh
tyler2k: aris asked if there will be a mid season releases, of sorts, not sure if Namco understood the question
tyler2k: new characters will be free when released, confirmed by Harada (hint at characters added after console release?)
tyler2k: aris asked if some characters moves are on other characters, should we presume they're dead? (ex rip anna)
tyler2k: no, shared moves doesn't mean dead, confirmed, rejoice Anna fans, she's not dead yet
tyler2k: aris asking about the tournament being annual, e.g. not one and done this December (the world tournament). namco is dodging the question. they want to but there's no guarantee.
tyler2k: they're considering more RA (rage arts) but nothing in the near future
tyler2k: Harada saying they tried revamping everyone's look in T4 but people complained, it sounds like Namco isn't touching costumes for now
tyler2k: Namco has time for console but won't be doing it for arcade. sounds like they're planning on doing it for console but no time for arcade.
tyler2k: I'd ask about the lack of black people in Tekken but I think I'd get banned (lol)
There were some other messages. Summary is that Namco has considered Tekken Crash for America but don't have much say in it. Also, Snoop's involvement with TTT2 was a marketing decision and the Tekken team had no say in it (lol @ this question).
Right now they're doing an audience Q&A and Tyler stopped giving us updates.
tyler2k: stages are planned but will be released in waves, They release characters based on emerging markets not race. e.g. Josie to replace Bruce because tekken is gaining steam in the Philippines.
tyler2k: asked about console release. they didn't answer the question.
Panel is over. Apparently there was a SFV ad at the end.![]()
