This Is the Best Tekken Video I’ve Ever Seen
This new clip for Namco’s Tekken: Vengeance CG movie — you know, the one they released in apology/retaliation for the unbelievably shitty live-action Tekken movie — has made me realize something profound: I don’t hate Tekken. I hate Tekken‘s gameplay. But a CG movie about a Chinese schoolgirl fighting a robot schoolgirl with chainsaw arms and a back-up head… well, I can get behind that. Just as long as the combat looks nothing like Tekken, i.e., terrible. Which Tekken: Vengeance seems to be avoiding. So yay! See how wonderful and fair-minded I am, Tekken fans? I even impress myself.
