Is Heihachi Mishima popular? lmao. Never heard of him before.
paybackprahl  +   321d ago
One of the main characters in the Tekken series? Popular? Idk. It depends on what genre of gaming you enjoy.
victorGma21  +   321d ago
They should also include Cloud, Sephirot or Crash
sikbeta  +   320d ago
@victorGma21

Totally True, they're playing too safe with known characters, but not the best characters, Cloud, Sephirot, Solid or Big Boss, Lara, Kazuma, Crash, Ratchet, Jak, RE Characters and I can keep going...

@ssikbeta

As much as id love to have all of those characters in the game, i think the game needs more variety. Having Snake, RE characters, or Lara kinda clash with Nathan Drake and they game has enough gun touting charaters.

What would be great is if they let you be the Hunter from RE1, or Tyrant or even a zombie, or even the Jumping Flash rabbit.
A-Glorious-Dawn  +   320d ago
they need Jin or Law
Hufandpuf  +   321d ago
If you've ever heard or seen a fighting game before, you know Heihachi.
Megaton  +   321d ago
Probably not recognizable to anyone who started gaming in the last couple years. If you've been gaming for 10+, I'd find it hard to believe that you haven't heard of Heihachi. Iconic fighter.
mafiahajeri  +   321d ago
Yes little kids that just started gaming with cod think they know everything. Heihachi is a great character great choice.

loool i would have liked the korean dude ( howrang ) he is my fav fighter in tekken but really a great choice from super bot cause they are making a wide variety of different fighting types
bishop-br  +   320d ago
I don't think Heihachi is anyone's favorite, I too would prefer Hwoarang, or Lei Wulong, but Heihachi is pretty much the face of the franchise.

He's the head of the Mishima clan, creator of the Mishima-ryu Karate (the only fight style claimed to be original in the game), creator and former head of the Mishima Zaibatsu (the obscure corporation that organizes the Iron Fist Tournament) and is either an ally or enemy of most other characters.

I too don't love Heihachi but he was the logical choice.
ChunkyLover53  +   319d ago
I've been gaming for 20 years and I've never heard or seen him. I have played plenty of fighting games, like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. I have absolutely no clue who this guy is, but then again, I don't really care.
TheFinalEpisode  +   321d ago
He's a signature character from Tekken and also got featured in Soul Calibur II so he's a pretty popular character.
Nimblest-Assassin  +   321d ago
It was EVO, a fighting game tournament (shame the audience in the stream were immature, trashing the game since its not traditional)

So thats why they announced the tekken guy there... no idea why the cat, but it explains him

Don't worry, next week they are announcing 2 more characters at Comic con
Errod88  +   321d ago
Really is that joke his from Tekken he was the main boss.

TheFinalEpisode  +   321d ago
Yea or Yoshimitsu would've been nice too but didn't expect any Tekken characters so it's still great news :D

Shouldve been Mokujin...its not nearly as iconic

Heihachi seems reasonable considering he was exclusive in Soul Caliber 2 for PS2
Skateboard  +   321d ago
I would use Heihachi and use him to F up Kratos, lol.
Why Heihachi? I would have preferred Yoshimitsu.

But that's just me.
Definitely. He's a much more interesting character. My fave in both soul calibur and tekken.
Watching evo now. He's pretty cool.

I think it's good to throw a couple of obscure characters. Snakes been done before. Heihachi is the perfect amount of obscurish iconic. I'm stoked!

There will be more for sure so I'm not super upset but I have no idea who the cat is (forgive me) and while I remember Heiachi from the Tekken days, it just feels weird to have a character from a fighting game in a fighting game as crazy as that sounds.

His moves looked kinda meh except his level 3 super which is just silly. Btw, since when did level 3 supers automatically kill everyone? All the other ones I've seen had something happen to the stage or the character and everyone ends up dieing anyway, but kinda disappointed it's auotmatic with these two.

Oh well, still looking forward to it as I've wanted to play Brawl for a long time but never bought a Wii for just one game
VanillaBear  +   321d ago
I'm just hoping they offer a mode where you don't need to rely on Supers to kill people and win the match since some Supers look better then others. More people will go for a character who's supper is better not the character they actually want

They need a health mode where normal attacks do damage.

I know I was saying this in another article, having a fighting character in a fighting game is a waste of a character....maybe as DLC but not for the main line up

PirateThom  +   321d ago
I'm not sure where I heard it, possibly Podcast Beyond, but it does have a health and stock system, but it's not the mode they're showing off right now for some reason.
goflyakite  +   321d ago
@PirateThom

I'm pretty sure the stock mode is still special kills only, not that it matters to me.

questions for superbot

1. where is my hero Crash Bandicoot?

2. where is the legendary Spyro?

3. why is big daddy in this game when Bioshock released on xbox years first?

4. why fat princess? that game was Nothing special let alone legendary

5. since fat princess made the cut. will Croc? because that game is legendary
Magic_Spatula  +   321d ago
1 and 2. Need rights from Activison (Acti owns both licenses now)

3. Guess he fits the gameplay?

4. Recognizable character

5. Too old to bring back?
310dodo  +   321d ago
dude Croc too old to bring back?

wtf its suppose to be a PS celebration
I played Croc like crazy on Ps1
Darth Stewie  +   321d ago
1. Activision owns Crash so Sony needs their permission.

2. Activision owns Spyro so Sony needs their permission.

3.Bioshock was only on the 360 first because it took longer for the developers at 2K to learn the PS3 architecture since it came out a year later than the 360. Also Micro$oft most likely had a time exclusive deal. Also Sony most likely including Big Daddy because they will be advertising Bioshock Infinite the same way Micro$oft does with COD. Big Daddy is one of the more iconic characters coming out of the current generation systems.

4.Fat Princess is including because Sony can put whatever 1st party character they want also it is the main character of one of Sony's best selling PSN titles so they needed a character to represent the PSN platform the Same way Parappa=PS1, Kratos=PS2, Drake=PS3.

5.As for Croc I am not to sure because he has not been seen in a while either 20th Century Fox owns him or Vivendi(aka Activision). Including Croc would be awesome though.

@darth stewiw & nimblest assassin

i get the points for 1 and 2

3 is still just terrible IMO
bioshock is an xbox franchise really

4 makes sense when you bring sony SM into it
trouble_bubble  +   320d ago
3 is terrible?! Huh? How is BioShock a "360 franchise really" when:

a) it's multiplat
b) BioShock1 has exclusive PS3 DLC
c) BioShock1 has exclusive PS3 extra difficulty
d) BioShock Infinite has exclusive Move support
e) BioShock Infinite PS3 will come with an exclusive free copy of BioShock1
f) BigDaddy is now in PS All Stars, a PS3 exclusive

If that's an XBox franchise, I'd hate to see the other guy.

Nimblest-Assassin  +   321d ago
1+2) activision owns both licenses now

3) Remember e3 2011? Irrational is now working closely with sony on Bioshock infinite, thus that explains big daddy

4) Superbot is a subsidiary of Santa Monica, who also published Fat Princess... thus it was close to home, so they put her in

5) No clue
TheLastGuardian  +   320d ago
I played Bioshock 1 and 2 on PS3 and my favorite FPS. How is it an Xbox franchise? I'm pretty sure the original released on PC and Xbox 360 simultaneously.

If anything Bioshock is a PlayStation franchise given that the PS Vita is getting an exclusive Bioshock game. Also the PS3 version of Bioshock Infinite is receiving Bioshock 1 on disc, 3D and Move support exclusively.

I'm pretty sure Crash and Spyro will be in the game since they're some of the top requested characters for PSASBR. I played Croc 1 and 2 as a kid and would love to see him in this game, I don't see it happening though.
numonex360  +   321d ago
Marshal Law, Paul Phoenix, Yoshimitsu are IMO better characters than Heihachi?
TheKindRoost  +   321d ago
This is awesome! Heihachi is one of my all time favorite fighting game character. Sir Daniel Fortesque better be in the game.

I got a feeling he will be revealed during Sony's Gamescom Press Conference.
Sir Dan is to awesome to be left out.
Skateboard  +   321d ago
I just saw the reveal trailers. I'm getting the bundle that comes with Vita version too. It look sick!!!, I'm a huge Smash Bros fan and this looks like a high quality rip off of Smash.

I need more games like Smash Bros cause it's one of the best games to play with friends and having Sony characters with 3rd party, gangsta.
smashcrashbash  +   321d ago
Only ten characters so far people. Not sure what the uproar is about.There are still ten more to go.
Darth Stewie  +   321d ago
It's gonna be more than 20 because thats what it says in the product description released today for places like Amazon. But your right so many more characters will be revealed. They already said 2 more will be announced at Comic Con plus there are other events like Gamescom,Pax Prime, TGS, & etc.
smashcrashbash  +   321d ago
That is good to hear. So that means it could be eleven, twelve even thirteen more characters to be revealed. Or even more then that. I am not sure why people are griping so much about these characters. If you don't like them. There are at least twenty more you can use. Also this means there is still room for Crash, Jak, Cole Sir Dan, Ratchet and Spyro *crosses fingers*
Ascalon94  +   321d ago
they should throw in Snake or Big boss..
Pana  +   321d ago
Heihachi's a good choice, he was exclusive for PS2 back with SC2.
nerdkiller  +   321d ago
i think nintendo might want to find a new partner for this betrayal lol jk.
princejb134  +   321d ago
Heihachi and a cat hmm, would have preferred jak or ratchet or someone more interesting like sora
Afterlife  +   321d ago
I would have preferred Jin or Kazuya over Heihachi. They are more popular than Heihachi and have a better move set potential like transforming into devil form.
Shagohad  +   321d ago
If they don't include Sora as a playable character I will rage with all of my Kingdom Hearts fanboy fury.

Try me.
r21  +   320d ago
yep Sora better be in the game, KH did officially start on the PS2.
Hicken  +   321d ago
"Why so few characters, Sony?"
Sony reveals more characters.
"Why characters I personally didn't want, Sony?"
People notice a two-at-a-time approach at various events.
"Why not reveal them all at once, Sony?"

There will always be something to complain about, I guess.
Kobe357  +   321d ago
What are people complaining about, these are solid characters!! And btw, whoever said that don't know who heihachi should be ashamed of themselves.
wnek9  +   321d ago
heihachi is a solid toon
MoreRPG  +   321d ago
I want Sora, Cloud and Sephiroth didn't knew who this guy was. N
ot a fan of Tekken
Btw where is Sackboy i think his fighting would be similar to Kirby
sonic989  +   320d ago
i think cloud is enough also sora
because if you noticed they are shooting for a different fighting types and most importantly different characters form different worlds ( each company represented buy there iconic character or one of them at least )
btw sackboy boy a perfect fit in this game
EDIT : i didnt disagree with you at all you got your point

Honestly as of right now I am not buying this game since the characters are pretty meh.

As of now I will not buy but if Snake, Cloud or Dart from LotD make it in I will buy it. Otherwise I'll just wait until its 17.99
JussBlazn  +   320d ago
quick question...how many characters/fighters announced so far?
Acquiescence  +   320d ago
10 so far...
Kratos
Radec
Sweet Tooth
Fat Princess
PaRappa The Rapper
Sly Cooper
Nathan Drake
Big Daddy
Heihachi
Toro

Apparently there's "over 20 characters" in total regarding the final roster.
Acquiescence  +   320d ago
Heihachi seems like a wasted third-party slot to me...
Especially when everyone is screaming for the inclusion of Snake/Cloud/Crash/Spyro/Lara. etc. So that's disappointing.

Toro on the other hand is a stroke of genius, and looks like a hilarious character to use. So that's great.

I'd be concerned about third-party support right now if we didn't know for certain that Snake is going to be in. We need the big guns.
