About:

"Raging Beast"

“A ferocious bear who uses a variation of the Heihachi Mishima style of karate.
He is more than a mere pet to Heihachi, and stands as sort of a partner with him.
When Jin was in control of the Mishima Zaibatsu,
Kuma rescued the company in Heihachi’s stead.
He has also sat on the Mishima Zaibatsu’s board of directors.”

I love the whole fart thing. Capcom-Unity can cry me a river.

Ignoring the fact at how awesome Kuma is (and looks. I know people have been bitching about how cartooney he looks in SFxT, but it fits the character well), I kinda see him playing as a grapple-intensive version of Rufus (quick character with a bizarre hitbox and an ability to stay in close once in), especially considering that so far it looks like it will be hard for opponent’s to get Kuma off of them once he gets in with his heavy swipes and pokes.

I wish we knew more about how the Tekken characters played and were used. It seems every in-depth look at the game’s characters is only on the SF cast.

Viva La Bear!

Wait…What is with the eye lazer attack?

I think(hope) Kuma will be good for poking, I mean hes a bear with long arms and claws. I also hope he has some damaging combos.

It’s his Grizzly Claw from Tekken. hcf+2,1 is the double; hcf+2,2 is the single followed by that swipe (in SFxT, it seems like they made it an overhead rather than a low)

Fixed for ya.

Kuma has short limbs for a huge character, he was this also in Tekken

All I want, is that he gets eye lazors!

[S]God damn this bear makes the entire SF cast ('cept If Gen gets in) look boring.[/S] :rofl:

[S]Scratch that still no signs of Hunting Bear Stance around.[/S]

Oh wait there actually is Hunting bear stance. :bluu:[S]
[/S]

Oh thats what it was supposed to be. Couldn’t recognise it, Thanks. o_O

Any footage of his Circus throw? That looks hilarious. And if he can combo into his launcher special he could be really scary.

Also, the lasers explain why he looks so menacing. He had a traumatizing experience, after all.

Nobody took the time to do the circus throw yet. :annoy:

Also… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r5qBsC2U7Q#t=2m15s

Wonkey hitbox or taunt with some invicility frames? You decide!

It’s probably his hitbox. He’s supposed to be incomplete, so it might be just a mistake on their part.

i cant wait to main him in this game

Why did they make Kuma’s tackle look so awkward and goofy?

The gym class Kuma took in high school proved to be…unbearable.

Found some gameplay for you guys too.




I think i should just gather up a list of the channels with Street fighter x tekken gameplay

Would have been nice if they gave him windmill punches.

A bear that farts… why wouldn’t I main dis nigga?
