Tekken Tag 2 changed that up. Leo speaks German, Christie and Eddie speak Portuguese, Lili speaks French, etc. some still speak Japanese like Alisa and Ling.
I wanna see Chun-Li speak Mandarin. I like it that she looks more Asian. The mukkokuseki in some of the SF characters gets irritating after a while. Like I still can’t tell what Viper is.
But American isn’t an ethnicity, but we’re getting off topic. I can excuse certain characters not speaking their native languages. Lei’s in Interpol and Ling has been in Japan for a couple of years. If it can be justified plot wise, I’m fine with them speaking some other language.
Actually, the game is still so early in development that Harada asked for his Twitter followers’ input on whether it should be a tag game or 1v1.
Yes but that will be mindless banter as opposed to actual concerns with what’s being done to the game.
I am expecting some form of Meter Management, hopefully more health and longer rounds to accompany it (God knows I’ve wanted longer rounds and more health since 5DR)
Lars grew up in Japan afaik
Alisa is a robot? What would you want her to speak? And besides, what would go against: CUTE ROBOT UGUU
Nina/Anna: Aren’t they just english? S’pose a brittish accent could work, but that’s just semantics imo
I’ll grant you Zafina.
the Kings have always growled for some wierd ass reason.
Dragunov wierds me out. Why doesn’t he say anything at all?
Lars, according to his T6PSP’s backstory, grew on Europe - actually working into Tekken Force’s European division until shit started to grow worldwide. Alisa is also “Russian”.
Dragunov actually isn’t a mute - he clearly “speaks” if you play with him in some Scenario Campaign levels - but since everything is text-based, we’re yet to hear his voice.
I’m actually hoping there’s an option to hear Lili’s (and others of course) voice in English in TTT2 when it hits consoles, although I doubt it. I LOVE her voice.
But yeah, I’d expect everyone to speak their native language in TxSF. Makes sense.
