most of the character endings are comical, which is alright but I'd prefer if they were more serious even though the game' s story is probably non-canon
It's non-canon, IIRC, but theoretically there's nothing to stop it being canon if they want to declare it as such later. Something like this:
* Heihachi managed to reverse in age due to a special elixir involving the Devil Gene. Maybe he sold his soul to the devil just like Kazuya did.
* Jun hasn't aged due to the contact with Ogre, which forced her to turn into Unknown against her will.
* Michelle likewise hasn't aged due to her special pendant (was a big part of her story in Tekken 2)
* Alex could be a clone of the old Alex that's been kept in stasis for 22 years.
* Angel doesn't need an explanation - angels are supposed to be ageless!
* Kunimitsu can be either: a) the original Kunimitsu, who has been honing her skills in the shadows OR b) a replacement vowing revenge for the original Kunimitsu's death.
* P. Jack was lying around in Boskonovitch's lab for ages, and after a bit of TLC was able to fight again.
* Jinpachi overcomes the spirit that was possessing him, but retains his abilities.
* Forest recovered from his motorcycle accident.
Now all that has to be done is for Namco to hire me on their team, and TTT2 can become canon!
Cannot wait to give Ling/Ogre a try.
I kind of hope they have a decent story mode, or at least one where you actually get to fight and not play a beat em up style mode.
Also
TarkatanDentist any game is pretty much more balanced than MK, lbsh
OK... I assumed that the 'lbh' part means 'let's be honest'... but what does the 's' stand for?
And MK9's balance isn't horribad.
