@Everyone - I miss Zafina, too. She was by far the most interesting addition to Tekken 6. The other characters are uninteresting or just stupid in my opinion. Her design was cool, fun and interesting... I play Lili/Zafina in TTT2. I'll miss her a lot.
This I agree with 100%. The new characters used to be amazingggg. A bunch of great characters who all debuted but apparently aren't coming back in T2 (this is interesting, never thought of this before). Bryan, Eddy, Ling, Hwo in T3. Steve, Marduk, Jin remade, Combat T4. Feng, Asuka, Devil Jin T5. Great character additions during that time.
From T5 DR and forward all the way to T7 the majority of the new characters I either felt meh about or didn't like altogether.
T5 DR
Lili- despise
Dragonuv- meh, good design though
T6 and BR
Zafina- Excellent well made design
Leo- Great character
Miguel- meh
Alisa- I use her some. Still meh
Bob- lol Namco please
Lars- Please delete from game. Tx
Azazel- stupidest boss character in the series
T7
Claudio- LMAO! Really?
Shaheen- meh
Josie- Godlike
Gigas- meh, Marduk was better
Kazumi- They got this one right
Katarina- Not bad, but Anna was better
Lucky Chloe- I would pay money out of my own pocket to have her replaced with an OG character or different new one
It's funny because we all may have a few differences in our lists, but mostly agree that the majority of newer series characters aren't up to par with the old ones lol.
