They’ve yet to do anything remarkable in CG and this trailer indicates that they didn’t make any heavy attempts.
TEKKEN 1 MOVIE FULL MOVIE
The last quality Japanese-animated fight scenes died with Street Fighter: The Animated Movie and the first 3 episodes of Street Fighter II V. Japan has a recent hard-on for heavy power punches, slow motion effects, angry screaming, and powerful body-flinging/smashing moves (clearly depicted in this trailer as the highlights of Jin vs Kazuya 52 seconds) as opposed to actual fight choreography, footwork, interceptions and exchanges that give you the feeling that these characters are martial artists and not generic anime-depicted brawlers. speaking of “fight scenes” I expect this to lack what most Japanese-animated productions have lacked on several occasions: good fight scenes. If Paul and Law are lucky maybe they’ll get promoted to “Team Rocket” slapstick comedy status and accidentally kick eachother in the balls throughout the entire film and that’s it. less fanboy-driven) Tekken characters, no matter how veteran or interesting they are, to be reduced to background-cameo status. Can’t they just delete this worthless scene for something better and save it for the most-likely-to-happen hentai film instead?Ĭount on most of the other (better a.k.a. Stuff like this makes me confident that this film wasn’t meant to cater to sex-deprived males. By the way I’m glad that they’ve stayed faithful to the fighting game by including the move Nina does in Tekken where she spreads her legs up into the air to display her birth canal to the world. I’m pretty sure they’re only in this film to represent themselves as the designated skanks of the Tekken series. Are you fucking kidding me? Like this match-up & sibling rivalry hasn’t been milked over a hundred times and now it warrants screen time on a film feature? What happened to Kazuya vs Paul/Lee/Eddy/Leo? Law vs Baek? Lei vs Bryan/Bruce? Jack vs ANYBODY? Any of these match-ups & rivalries would’ve been more original (and are yet to be expanded) than this generic fanboy horseshit that was thrown in this trailer for obvious reasons. We’ve seen Jin vs Kazuya a thousand times but not Kazuya vs anybody else nearly enough. It’s getting tiresome and I don’t even see how Jin fans can still stand him and his stern, unmoving, endless revenge-theme crap (note how the film is titled “Vengeance” so score yet another typical Jin Kazama plot).
TEKKEN 1 MOVIE FULL SERIES
Kazuya got like 2 Tekken games to hog the spotlight (after that the series changed gears) yet Jin just got done with his fuckin’ 4th and is probably on his way to his 5th. Lone Dragon once made a good point illustrating how Jin has become overplayed and overdone and is no longer an interesting spotlight character. Jin Kazama will be about as drab in this as Leon was in RE Degeneration. It’s like something I would expect from Evangelion or Bleach. I can’t wait to see what kinda original, hokey Japanese anime story involving socially disconnected teenagers that they drag out of this. settings in this film include a school…with school boys diving off of rooftops. Japan just can’t get enough of it’s teenaged schoolgirl-obsessed bullshit and that probably explains the whole panty-vending-machine-on-the-Ginza-strip thing that they’ve got going on over there.
And in Generations? She DOMINATED Ken in screen time. It’s like the Street Fighter Alpha anime: they took Sakura, the most story-worthless character of the Street Fighter universe and gave her as much screen time as Ken (and most of her scenes were from a hospital bed). Just seeing them both on a flying panda tells me everything I want to know about what direction they’re taking this film in and the idiot writers that they got to do it.
Out of the entire ROSTER of the Tekken series they give major roles to the prime “little anime girl” archetypes with one of them, Alisa, being new-as-fuck to the series whom is not deserving of more screen time than any of the original eight (the default Tekken 1 characters). so out of all the characters in the Tekken universe that they could decide to give a role-push…they chose fucking Xiayou (who in this trailer is depicted like a government spy wearing a schoolgirl sailor outfit despite the fact that she has always been depicted in Tekken as a ditz with generic anime puppy love for the young male lead of the series) and Alisa (a Japanophile’s wet dream, robot-maid style).
