Should SEGA let Tekken fans get Kazuma Kiryu?

With the new trailers of Season 2 of Tekken 7 a ton of people got angry that Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima from Yakuza weren't featured. Do you think SEGA is reserving them for VF6? Would all those Yakuza fans try VF if they announce any of their characters in VF6? Just take a read at the comment section and see all the people asking for Kazuma Kiryu/Majima:



An this year's articles about fans wanting the SEGA character to be in Tekken:

Don't touch at Kiryu, Majima, Ryo... from SEGA games.

These characters are for VF6.

 

sure it doesn't matter anyway, they can pipmp out any character to harada

 

It's kinda cool, that they want sega characters, in Tekken.
And it shows, that sega's characters, are still loved to this day.

But me,........I'd tell sega, to do something way more cooler.

Eg. Take all of those characters, and put them, in a brand new
Fighters Megamix sequel.

And we can call it:
Fighters Megamix: Battle Colosseum.

 

I think it would be a massive stupidity from SEGA to not capitalize the popularity that Yakuza has to promote other company's game instead of VF6! In this day and age fighting games sell because of the hype value the generate with announcements, like it or not.

 

It's not that VF will have problems getting the rights of their very own SEGA characters for future VFs.

Look at DOA with Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden and KOF with Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Psycho Soldier, Ikari Warriors, Buriki One, Savage Reign, Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown. And SF with Rival Schools and Final Fight. Tekken/Soul Calibur with Yoshimitsu.

Fighters Megamix is cool if you want a battle royale of freak characters like a Daytona car, a balloon bear and dystopian cyberpunk characters like Last Bronx and Fighting Vipers.

Not that VF will put a character with no relation with hand to hand combat or martial arts like Negan from The Walking Dead. Yakuza has such a massive reception in the west that I keep reading that people who aren't fighting game fans are willing to buy Tekken or even Smash Ultimate just to play as Kiryu or Goro and that is huge.

Marvel, Super Smash Bros. and Tekken showed how successful shared universes are. They sell and bring attention beyond their hardcore realms.

I'm pretty sure all of us want VF to be successful worldwide. It's the right time to do it.

 

Tekken should be proud to receive new challenger:

• D-Trump

 

It does extend the life of a game considerably with constant announcements in form of trailers or just a simple troll tweet from the developers. People get attracted to that kind of contact with the consumers even if they are not fan of the game itself. It does give you press too. And what they say about press. All kind of press it's helpful.

I think the seasonal updates instead of re-releasing the game with "Super/Turbo/Ultra/R/FinalTuned/FinalShodown" kind of stuff it's a thing of the past. Why buy the same game with some updates when you can patch it without any additional fee? I hope VF6 takes this approach like Killer Instinct and SFV. SFV started horribly but managed to climb to the top with their updates. KI was super interesting with their seasonal announcements even though I never played it. Because I loved the constant trailers they put on.

There's something about teasing the silhouettes of the next season's characters that make people TALK. In the case of VF I hope they have some kind of a fine curation for the selection of characters they want to put more in the line of what KI did where every character for the most part feels unique and not just a mere palette swap or clone character.

I think SEGA has such a rich roster of characters that it can make it possible.

 

No but i wound't like to see guest characters in VF even less this season DLC stuff, if SEGA is gonna put random SEGA characters in a game then that game has to be Fighters Megamix 2.

 

It seems so yes. He is a hardcore Yakuza fan. Too many coincidences. There's no way he visited SEGA for VF.

 

I think he went to Sega to maybe try and get VF at EVO Japan. I'm sure it was nothing to do with Sega guest characters in Tekken

 

If Kiryu or Ryo come in Tekken instead of Virtua Fighter, that would be very disapointing and maybe that means VF6 is not coming soon.
