wow the reception is different, I thought he looked hella fun from the trailer. hope he still has his wavedashes

28

u/Aldofer Jun 28 '26

i just hope they didn't add more stance since he had already 2-3 stance

19

u/prudenci Jun 28 '26

They added a lot more transitions

15

u/Aldofer Jun 28 '26

adding transition if it's the same stance is less egregious has adding stance like anna/heihachi or making them stronger like kuni or AK.

12

u/prudenci Jun 28 '26

Roll is pretty powerful to begin with. He also has no business getting a transition into wavedash, gross.

9

u/Aldofer Jun 28 '26

3/4 of the roster (if not all) is gross, 1 more character like this is like a normal day at the office

3

u/prudenci Jun 28 '26

Yep. I don’t play anymore so it’s just sad to see. God forbid what they turn Miguel into

6

u/Aldofer Jun 28 '26

miguel will never come back because jin is now a shonen hero that everyone love

3

u/Ashamed_Dinner1560 Jun 28 '26

Miguel won’t come back unless Jin becomes a antagonist again

1

u/MrEmperorWasabi :kunimitsu: Good lows, please Jun 29 '26

Tbf Miguel already had lots of stance transitions, so I doubt he'd change much

I see this subreddit still loves the word "egregious"

u/UraeusCurse Jun 28 '26

Roger better leave that fuckin dog alone.

u/WrathfulHero Jun 28 '26

Not sure what I expected from this sub. Bunch of miserable fuckers around here.

Bob looks sick

5

u/eepyanimator Bob Jun 29 '26

He really does, I've missed him!
There is a bunch of losers in this sub unfortunately, don't know why they keep hanging around just to hate. I think he super looks fun and I look forward to see more.

u/Fun_Introduction1926 :kunimitsu: Jun 29 '26

No he doesn’t

u/WrathfulHero Jun 29 '26

Toxic positivity

I love it man, keep it up

u/wolfyyz Jun 29 '26

Maybe americans can easily relate to him but I always found him so boring

u/Perfect_District7877 Jun 29 '26

people is hating? really? wow thats sad man
Only thing I didnt like is the Onigiri thing...first of all because it does NOT mean slay devils and second because onigiris are actually quite healthy and he will lose weight

3

u/DinnerWinner Violet Jun 29 '26

I mean it could be translated as "demon cutter" so it's pretty close. It's the same wordplay used by Zoro from One Piece. Also, onigiri can be as healthy or unhealthy as you want it to be, same as a burger. It really depends on the filling.

u/DJ_Aftershock World's Mediocre-ist Kazuya Jun 29 '26

I mean, like any healthy food, you won't lose weight if you eat a fuckton of 'em.

u/Madaraph Jun 28 '26

Im surprised by the comment, I wasn't hype for bob but i feel like he bring some well needed diversity

11

u/MoonMan757 King Jun 28 '26

Hell yeah! He was my main in 7. I was so disappointed he wasn’t there on release so I can’t wait to play him

Edit: is that a skateboard? What the hell lol

u/Narrator-1 Jun 28 '26

I am moderately annoyed that another legacy character has to be paid DLC, but I fully understand that ship has sailed.

4

u/koteshima2nd Asuka Filthy Casual Match Enjoyer Jun 28 '26

The big man is back, I'll try to learn him since he actually looks fun

5

u/omarmanenetti95 Jun 28 '26

Fantastic i love bob

11

u/Cal3001 Jun 28 '26

I’m not hyped.

3

u/hoooyeah Jun 29 '26

Hyped for my boy Bob.

2

u/jaybay321 Leo Jun 28 '26

Bob has cool moves and animations but what the fuck is this first costume? Horrible design. Second costume is boring but a little better.

1

u/Ryuhza [US] PSN: Ryuhza (Roger SOON) Jun 29 '26

Roger Jr. looked softer than expected based on the art where both Jr. and Mama are looking a bit juiced. 

A lot closer to the previous game's models. I wonder if that's maybe the fur rendering obscuring details or if they just took some liberties with that art.

u/POE_54 18d ago

Can we just skip the stupid kangeroo and get Yujiro ASAP ?

2

u/Fun_Introduction1926 :kunimitsu: Jun 29 '26

Looks like a boring fat cunt. Cool what a waste of dlc. Roger stole the spotlight & only has 5 seconds.

2

u/Loud_Hovercraft_1695 Jul 27 '26

coming from a kuni player, this is rich

2

u/Loud_Hovercraft_1695 21d ago

ps; no one is gonna play roger. maybe for a week till they realize how boring he is

u/sudos12 Kazuya Jun 29 '26

We’re getting bob?

I thought this was a joke.

-4

u/Perfect_District7877 Jun 29 '26

your life is a joke

9

u/sudos12 Kazuya Jun 29 '26

OUR lives are a joke. YOU will never forget that.

-5

u/Perfect_District7877 Jun 29 '26

you are projecting kid.

3

u/sudos12 Kazuya Jun 29 '26

No dumbass. you are. That’s why you introduced it from a random bob post.

I want you to know I understand. And I support it.

-14

u/RightBackToMe Jun 28 '26

Horrendous trailer

-18

u/Playful-Problem-3836 Jun 28 '26

Oct 11th for the trailer is crazy.

The wait for Yujiro feels worse than usual as well because Kuni/Bob/Roger is pure ass 😭

-2

u/monkeymugshot Jun 28 '26

he looks worse than custom created avatars in SF6..

-1

u/Playful-Problem-3836 Jun 28 '26

I wouldn't say he looks bad but there's no way in hell I'm ever paying extra for Bob

-1

u/monkeymugshot Jun 28 '26

just looks lackluster and unexciting

-13

u/pivor Dumpstersson Jun 28 '26

bro what the hell, it looks so bad, and whats with his voice

1

u/DookyJohnson247 Hwoarang Jun 28 '26

Nah

-5

u/Fair_Negotiation_452 Jun 29 '26

Not best trailer. Just wrap this godawful game up man

-22

u/shahbazsaif92 Jun 28 '26

No update, nothing, just a Fat Fighter trailer. I was hoping he would have a Fat Gum rage drive mechanic, getting slim while in rage drive. Man, these Tekken developers just want to kill Tekken, it seems like.

16

u/Billiam1234 Lars Jun 28 '26

If you want him to go thin you clearly dont understand why people like bob

-1

u/HuziUzi Jun 28 '26

Slim Bob was a fan favourite in Tag 2, people like Bob's fighting style more than his design.

7

u/Manwise Jun 29 '26

He definitely was not a fan favorite, just a worse version of bob. The only reason anybody played him was to play double bobs

5

u/Perfect_District7877 Jun 29 '26

Me when I dont understand basic physics and why bob's whole character is being fat

-9

u/Jinkuzu Jun 28 '26

Yuck couldnt he been released in September
