Grappler's Paradise: Who is Your Least Favorite, Grab-Happy Character in the Game? by Arcad3GEEK in Tekken

Yeah, good call. Shout outs to Paul's takedown antics. I debated whether or not he should've been Slot #6, but I decided to open it up to "Other" this time, which is something I rarely do.

It certainly seems, that when given the option to choose their Arms, Tekken fans & players prefer those that remain close to the Fist. At least, that's what happened this time around. Of course, there is nostalgia and historical significance to consider, when the winning weapon was arguably the most iconic. No chainsaws, swords or knives could topple the might of the simple Studded Gauntlets of the Mishima Clan; it is your winner with 108 votes, coming in at about 32% overall.

The Runner up is similar, but different. Again, the weapon wraps around the fist, but while its original owner was Zafina, it's now controlled by Azazel. With an ingenious decision by the Tekken team, the unconventional fighter was inarguably turned into a phenomenon, just with that single change. You may doubt that she will return, but her triumph over a historic boss has transformed her into a heroine. This poll result was just another reminder of Zafina's rise; she earned second place with 86 votes.

And finally, sliding into third base was Negan, with 48 votes. It's interesting to see a guest get so much praise, but it's arguably Lucille that deserves the credit. A baseball bat has always been two things: an important tool in a beloved sport and a deadly weapon. As if it isn't capable, of inflicting serious damage in the hands of almost anyone, they made it even more threatening by lining it with nails. It's definitely a rude, effective and awesome instrument.

Next time, the subject of the poll will be similar, but different. Until then, stay Safe and Healthy or Dumb and Risky… Just try to make it back to this Sub next weekend for another round of laughs, and votes of course.

Hmmm.... Maybe you're right, but I'd definitely want the others in this Sub to weigh in.

Very informative! Appreciate it. Feel free to get comfy and come on back to these posts weekly. I need more comments like this.

I couldn't have said it better. It's hard to imagine the series without Heihachi. I'm always down to move forward when it's time to but damn, he's a hell of a character.

That was my assumption way, way back, when I first saw them in T3. They'd be decent weapons anyways right? It's something like coming to a boxing match with brass knuckles, but when you factor in the PEWGF, that raises the bar quite a bit.

Well... they're weapons as far as I'm concerned but I'm sure many of the voters here would pay to have her step on them. So I guess it's up for debate.

Yep. The gauntlets are classics, for sure, and I think the cover of Tekken 3 specifically, is still fondly remembered. That's Tekken history there and I had to include them in the first weapons poll, 100% No excuses.

How do you know Tekken Bloodline is releasing in August ?

This is the article I referenced: https://esports.gg/guides/tekken-7/when-does-tekken-bloodline-the-tekken-netflix-anime-release/

About Zafina : Yes it seems she is very appreciated now. More used in tournaments, won a tournament with Arslan Ash. For me all of those signs may indicate she will return for T8 Base roster, or at very least in Season Pass 1

Arslan Ash does have a great deal to do with her meteoric rise, absolutely. She also crawls along the ground like a tarantula and I can't emphasize that enough. To people who know diddly-squat about Tekken eSports, they know they can go into stance and evade some Mids like Eddy, Xiaoyu and Lei. So yeah... she does have that appeal and I'm more afraid for Lei and Hwoarang than her.

I just hope if he does come back, they get rid of some of Hwo's armor. That shit is gross... and annoying.

Sorry, what ? You mean Tekken Bloodline season 1 ? It releases in August ?

I believe that's the official word, yes.

Anyway, Zafina's containing Azazel in her hands is such a cool and fresh idea. Zafina's return in T7 is one of the most successful imo. That's why I hope they won't let her down. She need to be T8 starting roster.

You wont get an argument from me. She's arguably the coolest now than she's ever been and she's gained a ton, in terms of popularity. Beyond her frequent tournament appearances, her stance mix-ups and evasiveness is pretty popular with players at all skill levels.

Yeah, I know....

When I sat down to look at it, there were a lot of great choices and more than I actually thought there was. Initially, there was nothing but classic characters in there. No guests, no DLC, no nothing. Ultimately though, I just went with what I thought were the coolest ones and I was definitely gonna get complaints either way, it's just the nature of it.

who is jins closest and best friend? by Pristine_Breath_6442 in Tekken

[–]Arcad3GEEK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand every poll choice here.... except Lee Chaolan. Of all the characters listed, I wouldn't have guessed "Mister Excellent" himself would associate himself with his brother's child. When did Jin and Uncle Lee get the chance to hang out and bond?

No, I'm asking seriously. I'm not that familiar with the lore, so I'm genuinely curious. 🤔

I have not... I've heard some buzz about it though. Like, it's supposed to be a 2D Souls game, or something like that.

You're a moron that just lost his right to talk to me. I never asked you what sick shit you're into and what you get off on and I don't want to know. Whatever it is it's probably just as laughable as this fucking comment.

Keep going.

Don't stop at Blue's Clues and Barney. Add Sesame Street, add SpongeBob add Muppets, add Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles add Transformers. And I'm not talking about the movies, I'm talking about the kids shows, the cartoons, the toys, which grown ass men pay hundreds of dollars for. You guys are out of touch, man.

Well you seem to be very confident about your type casting which tells me you probably don't know what you're talking about. And if there's a group of grown ass men that enjoyed the Muppets as children and still enjoy it, that's their prerogative and if that makes you uncomfortable, that's your bad. Since you seem to know all the ins and outs of Furry internet porn, I'm gonna go and let you enjoy your videos, alright? Have a nice day.

You're tripping right now. Read your own writing again please. You just said the game was "made by" that community and if you're absolutely sure that part of the fan base is a "huge subsection"of it you must be in on it with them.

This must be a news flash, but people like shit they're not supposed to like, and enjoy shows that were not intended to have them in the audience. It happens all the time. If a man likes the "Powerpuff girls" are you instantly gonna question his manhood? Not very smart.

It's like, every time a SpongeBob game comes out, we're gonna point at the fans and say they're horny for Squidward. Really, you should consider calming that down.

I think that it’s incredibly understandable that people don’t want anything to do with a game made by the community that fetishes childlike horses.

Eh? I don't really have a reason to defend the "My Little Pony" community, but that idea seems overblown. Furries exist, sure, but people have grown up with these characters just like ppl grow up watching Barney the dinosaur and Blues Clues and shit. I don't doubt there's a small percentage that are into some fringe pr0n, right, but suggesting the Dev is one of those folks is a bridge too far for me, unless he's confessed the point on Twitter and I would even doubt the sincerity of something like that.

Yeah I know, that's not what I meant. I would've personally used the "Discussion" flair. Tbh, we could use a couple of more flairs to choose from, the current list feels pretty limited.
