It's quite simple, actually:
1.- No Hwang.
2.- No Li Long.
3.- No Rock ( Nor Bangoo , for that matter.).
Plus, the addition of popular characters from later editions makes the current timeline sort of a mess only previously seen in JJ. Abrams' Star Trek.
I would redefine and vastly improve Li Long's dual nunchuck wielding capabilities as seen in SC3. It would be awesome to see 2 entirely different approaches to nunchucks.
People are of course entitled to say whatever they feel like but the truth is that not releasing Hwang in a reboot of the series is a crime. From being the Ryu of Street Fighter, the Akira of Virtua Fighter in the series, he was unfairly mistreated by turning him into a cheap assasin in 2 and...
Developers should stop experimenting with SC. If they want to do that, try creating a new franchise. I bet none of them dare to touch Tekken in any way. Keep the old players, bring on the new, give us a huge roster a lá Tekken and let's roll.
I don't know what to do to beg for Hwang to return. It seems everyone and their grannies just ditch him to Li-Long's long forgotten backyard for good. Incredibly sad for me, as all the love I got from SC on Dreamcast came through his moves. A reboot would be so much welcome.
Well... some issues have been effectively described and discussed. Now if we could get a special edition of sorts to at least compensate for the shortage of classic players in this version, Namco would definitely be pointing in the right direction.
They wanted to copycat cheap SF style bars...
I'm sure it is one heck of a product from a technical point of view. Unfortunately, that is not the point, so let me ask you this: Have Tekken developers ever eliminated a character in their rosters from their game?
Picture yourself playing the next Tekken, what would you think if you found...
Personally, I have oficially abandoned this franchise, as NAMCO has dumped my favorite characters not once, but twice; ergo, I do not feel compelled to make this purchase at all.
Surely, I might be curious once its price drops below 20 bucks, but, after ditching Kwang, then Yung and even Seoung...
