Without a solid criterion to choose guests, choices may be made just to bring some spotlight to the game. A new Tekken Force is welcome for sure, but to feature zombies even in Tekken could make it look less fresh, since we’re seeing them basically everywhere in games.įrom what we’ve seen on social media, many people are perplexed by this move. Many shooting games like Call of Duty offer some form of zombies because it’s ‘cool,’ but this fad could start to bore if overly done and used even in fighting games. Fighting games can basically feature any kind of enemy for sure, but does Tekken need a ‘zombie mode’? Over the past few years we’ve seen countless games proposing such a mode because it’s trendy, and zombies in video games are as popular as dinosaurs were during the nineties. Some suppose that Negan was chosen to introduce a new Tekken Force mode, but using zombies as opponents instead than Mishima soldiers.

Since it may be a location seen in the TV show, could there be other survivors cheering for their leader in the background, or even worse, zombies? While the first seems a quite common scenario, the latter could be a horror parenthesis as compared to usual Tekken stages. Just as other guest characters, Negan will likely have a dedicated stage, and here is where things start to get weird. He’s going to be very angry and condescending with a laugh as sadistic as Bryan Fury. I can see Negan have a fighting style that mashes Miguel (brawler) and Noctis (weapon in hand ie, Lucille the bat) together.

He’s just a normal person accustomed to violence. The baseball bat could have basically the same range as the short sword of the young prince, and the brawler techniques are fitting the theme, since Negan is not a martial artist.

As our chief editor Zee the CEO said, it could be interesting to feature the brawler fighting style of Miguel with the short weapon range of Noctis, since they are both fitting the character. The fighting style that Negan will use to fight is a much better thread instead, since we can wonder about something that can have a real impact into the game. But this time it’s really hard to find a good link for putting Negan in Tekken 7, and it all seems an even more bold marketing stunt like it was with Noctis, who was at least a video game character.

For example, introducing Yoda and Darth Vader into Soul Calibur 4 because both were blade users, or horror movie characters into Mortal Kombat because there was the gore factor to make them compatible. When exceptions were made, there was always a specific theme to justify it. At least there was a common theme with guest fighters, sharing a kind of imagery with the video games’ genre, comics or mangas with Spawn (SoulCalibur 2) and Gon (Tekken 3), which were extremely rare occurrences. How does it feels to have such character coming to Tekken? It sounds strange for sure. So, as Geese was threatening Heihachi about the Mishima Zaibatsu, or as Noctis was going fishing with Lars, will Negan challenge someone to pick a brawl with? Will he be swinging Lucille around just to be stopped by one of the good guys, which seems quite possible since there is an artwork going around the web with him and Jin Kazama opposed to one another. How does he fit?īut how is Negan linked to the rest of Tekken 7 roster? The new DLC characters – Geese and Noctis – were paired to existing members of the cast during their introduction. What makes it even worse is his habit of singing lullabies, like he’s a peaceful person, while on the verge of doing something ruthless.

However, it’s the same weapon he uses to perform many brutal killings, even against some members of the original team of characters, making him a sort of scourge. As a homage to his deceased wife, Negan has named the bat Lucille, meaning it has strong sentimental value to him. The importance of this is not small, since this object assumes a dual role in characterizing him. He’s a man in his late forties, wearing a leather jacket and using a baseball bat with barbwire around it as his personal weapon of choice. Negan is played by actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan. We’re focusing on the latter because Tekken Project team has pretty much let us know that they chose this version of Negan as the character they’re introducing into their game.

There are some differences between the comic book and the TV show though.
