Though the more concerning thing is that Tamaki's design feels closer to Aoi than the morons that say Asuka. Hell, a big chunk of Asuka's moveset is basically Karate. I like Harada, but what the hell did he start here haha.

I don't even think it was trolling tbh, he seemed like he was just amused or maybe even amazed at how accurate to the style Tamaki's moves were compared with Asuka and Aoi's own renditions. I feel like DOA and Tekken fans just ran with it and started a mini who did it first war over nothing xD

Possibly, though some of the morons in there were just *smdh*. How is Aikido supposed to look? But yeah, c'mon Harada, Twitter doesn't need an excuse for people to act moronic haha.

Harada is stupid. Period.

I mean it’s pretty funny imo. People need to get tf out of their feelings though

Weird ass fans LOL. ಠ_ಠ

@KwonJigglypuff To be fair, Harada did try to push DOA into EVOJ and he was willing to put his own money for the DOA community. No other developer would do that from an entirely different company. It's not even Bamco's money, it's literally out of his own pocket.

Harada's fandoms is where it has to be aimed at. We can't exactly call him an idiot if he cares about DOA more than Koei Tecmo.

^ YES! I hate Koei-Tecmo's treatment of DOA.

I know, I'm just salty because Harada blocked me on Twitter...

(For calling him "stupid" because of the lack of Zafina back then lol)

I mean hey, that is a bit wild for calling him that. He can be a troll as well, but even Ed Boon is just now starting to block Mileena posts, and for good reason. Harada actually does in fact like DOA so I'm pretty sure his "wtf" moment is just being surprised that how every form of Aikido has a big similarity to how it's all made from each fighting game, instead of overused terms such as "copying".

I know. I wanted to apologize and recently I even wanted to thank him for bringing her back (with such an amazing design), but you know... I'm blocked because of my own stupidity

It's ok Kwon. You are not stupid.

Blame the higher ups from those same companies really.

Harada is that bitch; he meant no harm and has no beef with anything DOA related. No comment on the Teacan fanbase itself though because we all know how they love to blow things out of proportion

Hmmm

Yeah, the comments from the moronic Tekken fans are pretty bad here also. It's like they didn't know that Aoi and Aikido itself predates Tekken 5 haha. Though keep in mind that Micheal Murray is a helluva lot more of a tool compared to Harada.

Michael Murray is in fact a tool to Bamco's shenanigans, however fortunately, he was the only guy who convinced Namco to put in frame data. Otherwise Tekken wouldn't have had it at all. Namco's executives were the ones who put a price tag on it.

He's also the director for T7 and producer now.
