What Tekken character would you want in VF?

    Hi everyone! With VF6 possibly on its way, I had a recent thought. Many of us are very skeptical about Tekken guest characters showing up in VF due to the drastically different tones and aesthetics. But if a Tekken character did show up, then who would you want most? Please don't reply saying that you don't want any character in Tekken because I know many of us don't want that to happen at all. My pick would be Leo Kliesen since Leo is very down to earth and could very well fit with the aesthetic of VF. But what would your choice be if you had to?

    Leo clashes with Akira given their shared fighting style.

    Nevertheless I hate to say it but perhaps Eddy Gordo - if they make capo transition to VF's gameplay.

    Excellent point @GustavoHeisenberg! Eddy would be an excellent pick for a Tekken guest character in VF. Both Eddy and Leo can fit into VF in a way that most characters couldn't (both aesthetically and mechanically).

    Lidia.

    Her animation is beautiful and I think it'll compliment very well with virtua.

    Lidia is also a great idea for VF. Jean is similar to Lidia in terms of fighting style, but they play drastically differently. It would still show character individuality.

    Personally none. But Eddy or Christie Montiero would be my choice.

    Eddy and Christie would really stand out without breaking the game.

    Leroy although i would prefer if they Sega made a Wing Chun user that had similarities to young IP Man or Master Z.

    That would be nice. Personally, I would enjoy a female wing chun user as the game has only five female characters (six if you count dural, but dural is not playable in tournaments).

    None,

    Also I will just main just very likely as usual main Shun even if I'd like to learn new character I would more likely pick another VF character (probably a waifu one) than a Tekken. Specially since I already play Tekken like what's the point it's imo none sens if I play VF it's to play VF.

    I specifically requested that anyone who responds to my initial thread do not say they do not want any Tekken characters in VF. I suspected that some people would do this, and that would miss the point. What I wish to do with this thread is to find Tekken characters that actually would be able to fit into VF, both aesthetically and mechanically.

    In a sens all Tekken characters would fit beside few exception like Victor (that I don't think he fits Tekken either as well tbh)

    Right now I only see Wang Jinrei, Ling Xiaoyu and Feng Wei as suitable, as I either don't care for the moveset, find it redundant with VF's selection or I simply dislike the appearance of most other Tekken characters I know of (most of them look to me as bad and out of place in VF as Goh and Jean already do); in fact, Feng's slippery fighting style is the only reason why I would play Tekken at all, but I don't know how would that work in VF —if it does, then indeed it would be lovely to have him onboard. In addition, considering Wang was killed off a couple games ago and DOA's Gen Fu left the stage as well, there's a severe lack of old wise xin yi liu he quan masters in fighting games, so seeing the return of either in VF would be nice. Speaking of DOA, seeing some reciprocity to DOA5's treatment of VF guest characters would be amazing: not just Gen Fu, but having characters like Leifang, Helena and Christie translated into VF would be very complementary to the current roster as they possess beautiful fighting styles that are appropriate but not covered by VF yet.

    Probably Ling Xiaoyu too.

    Xiaoyu and Pai are so similar to each other.

    True.

    Kunimitsu or Kuma, but if I had to guess what character would be most likely, it'd be Jin.
     
  18. Solomon Rayland

    Jin would be the most likely character to become a guest in VF should such a thing happen. Kunimitsu fights with weapons, so she is highly unlikely. Kuma is also highly unlikely because the VF cast is comprised entirely of human fighters.

    Jin has devil moves though. Lol.

    He probably would not mesh well with VF for that reason.
