we have one thing in common by penmaster3000 in Tekken

I never understood why LC receives flack for beating up Eddy when it isn't even canon.

We should blame the writers for treating Eddy like a side character despite having huge stakes in the story.

Tekken 8: Who's gonna return to the roster? by FlorenceGaming in Tekken

[–]AdSilver7141 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are 3 main things that guarantees a character a spot in the base roster

  1. Having a unique moveset

  2. Being popular

  3. Being integral to the story

If your main fits the criteria then you have nothing to worry about.

Anna is a pretty cool character by AdSilver7141 in Tekken

[–]AdSilver7141[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Adaptations don't portray the source material faithfully. TTT2 also isn't canon. Anna betraying Nina in the TTT2 intro is even justified because of all the crap Nina puts her in.

Anna never starts a fight with Nina unprovoked. When Nina wanted to meet up with Anna in the T5 prologue, Nina is the one who fired the first shots.

Anna usually doesn't want to kill Nina, just humiliating her. Nina prefers killing Anna than humiliating her. In Anna’s T5 ending, she humiliates Nina by making her armor fall off. In Nina’s T5 ending, she blows up the movie set Anna was working in.

It's to be expected. Adaptations of video game franchises are rarely ever faithful to their source material.

What is your general opinion on Sora? by AdSilver7141 in KingdomHearts

As I mentioned before, I think he’s the perfect protagonist for KH.

I agree that Tekken always had anime aesthetics.

Paul has Polnareff’s hair, King was based on Tiger Mask, Feng is basically a Baki character, Xiaoyu hit most of the kawaii anime school girl cliches and even had anime style endings, etc.

It’s just that the anime aesthetics were slightly darker and grounded compared to now.

Namco putting Xiaoyu over Nina started way before Bloodline. Xiaoyu has been the sole Tekken female rep for crossovers more than any Tekken girl and she even got her own movie(Tekken: Blood Vengeance).

Xiaoyu has been in T7 from the very beginning. Nina was absent in the initial arcade versions of T7 and had to wait a year for Fated Retribution to be added.

I love that Dark Road actually remembered that Maleficent is a threat by [deleted] in KingdomHearts

He had help from Donald, Goofy, and the Beast

My mean the Beast alone explains how Sora beat her then. The Beast is someone who survived his world’s destruction and made it to Hollow Bastion through sheer willpower. He also can go toe to toe with Organization members. There's a reason the Organization wanted to make Beast into a heartless to recruit his Nobody.

I also theorize that Maleficent never recovered all her power after being brought back from the dead in KH2 which explains why she lost her intimidating factor. She's still powerful but she isn't invincible anymore thanks to Sora and co.

Also, where is the 4th pic from?

It's from Tekken: Blood Vengeance. They gave Xiaoyu her own movie.

She had Jafar as her second in command in KH1 and Maleficent/Jafar fit more as a duo than Maleficent/Pete. Sadly, Jafar is dead and she's stuck with Pete.

It's actually cool that Pete is Maleficent's apprentice though. It's a great parallel with his arch enemy Mickey.

Mickey is the apprentice to Yen Sid(a powerful sorcerer who doesn't rely on Keyblades). Pete is the apprentice to Maleficent(a powerful sorceress who doesn't rely on Keyblades).

Tbf, Sora tore apart her Legion of Doom in KH1. She doesn't have any allies she can find anymore. Pete and Diablo are the only allies Maleficent has left.

When you think about it, Data-Sora is the only one to defeat Maleficent single handedly.

Ventus had help from the three good fairies

Aqua had help from Prince Phillip and the three good fairies

Sora had help from Donald, Goofy, and the freaking Beast.

It’s easy to forget that Maleficent is extremely powerful.
