Fighters, DOA, Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, KOF, BlazBlue etc

If I had a pal here in Nagano who was gonna pick it up day-and-date and we could play together regularly, I'd be keen for either SF or Tekken. To play solo, online or maybe in the ocassional session with y'all or when I have friends round . . . I'm not into fighting games enough.

Tekken 8 was the one least on my radar of the numerous upcoming fighters (KoF XIII is even coming back) but this past week we've seemingly got more character trailers including Jun Kazama who is playable in the mainline game for the first time since Tekken 2



Also been a few hands on previews and after listening to the KF one, I'm more keen than I was. If all these fighters can be spread out nicely (June SF6, Sep T8, Feb MK12 for instance), could see me getting the big three and hope to see maybe Andy & Jay (Muss might even make a round or two) on as well.

I know it doesn't seem like it with all the character trailers but Tekken 8 is apparently a year away from release.

Really, how previews talking be out soon. Maybe switch T8 and MK12 on what's coming and when, still lot's of fighters.

The official line is "out fiscal 2023 or later" so it could technically make this year but I've been watching a lot of Maximilian dood/YoVideogames lately and they seem to reckon it'll be in 2024.

Oh that's weird- like Mas, I assumed it was imminent.

Yep especially when you see previews of Star Wars which out this month, same with Advance Wars, yet this might be next year.

My boy is back


Also seems MK12 won't be 12 but Mortal Kombat 1 and the second reboot which I'm not sure how I feel about then again Mortal Kombat (9) was 12 years ago.

I mean, a franchise that is about the characters brutally killing one another presumably needs to reboot regularly.

Not far off and from the trailer seems to be a sequel due to Fire God Liu Kang and a reboot of the universe he's made.
