This is the new character, an over-enthusiastic white weeaboo.

People proceeded to whine and harass Harada after the reveal on Twitter and NeoGAF

Turns out, Harada wasn't too pleased. He's since responded to these complaints by saying the North American release of Tekken 7 [b]will not include Lucky Chloe[/b]. Instead, the NA version will get a [b]skinhead muscle girl[/b].

[quote]By the way, Are you "Western" only one bulletin board? Hello small world. I'll make muscular & skinhead character for you.
Remember, I said We've more new characters and She is ONE on THEM. [/quote]

[quote]Calm down and Don't worry. That character are East Asia and Europe "Exclusive".
and I'll say again. We've more new characters on TK7. She is JUST one of them.
and She will be country exclusive (or region exclusive) character. We don't include her for your region. That's why I said Calm down and Don't worry.[/quote]

[quote]Because you don't need that character right? It's simple thing.
And I'll say "Don't worry" again. I'll release another character for you guys. I said We've more new characters.
Example: Looks well-muscled, Skin-head, Very powerful attack (I don't like this idea but if you need).[/quote]
Now this may or may not be a big joke, but it's not relatively new that Japanese developers have a love/hate relationship with the Western market because of how loud the whiners and complainers can get when it comes to what they want.
I don't care that she's a 4channer parody, I do care that she's yet another another Move Saver on a roster they didn't need to shrink in the first place.
Lazy.
I don't think I'm buying Tekken 7...

To be honest I welcome this over generic blonde Mc.big titty anime girl No.22430
I could see myself buying this game, even if I can't pull off combos for shit. I personally don't mind this character, then again, I'm not that familier with the other characters. I only remember that android girl thing from Tekken 6.
I can't imagine getting mad over this.
I wasn't happy about that fucking joke of a character Rufus in SF4 but I wasn't mad like this.

my favorite thing on the internet is japanese devs taking the piss out of western dudes
and i'm not really getting how some people think this is evidence that lucky chloe is getting replaced with some skinhead. it's obvious that he's just joking about the west.
I think I find out why tekken mysteriously disappeared from fame while street fighter and soul caliber has taken over.

It doesn't matter, because this would mean that both characters would be banned in tournament play. Which is super shitty because that would remove a character from an already not huge roster. I wouldn't blame Harada for doing it, but people really need to quit bitching about games in this capacity.
Also, weird over-the-top characters is like a staple of Tekken. Removing one for a, comparatively, generic character would be sorta shitty.
I am apart of the western stereotype, and I am proud of it.
Fuck THAT character and PLEASE fucking add a skinhead muscle girl as a fighting game character.
So sick of overly cutesy anime garbage these days. I am fine with the rest of the "cute" end of the female cast of Tekken, it's tolerable. This isn't, it's too much Harada. It just comes off as obnoxious, everything from the character design, costume, and voice.
I would love a japanese take on a crazy skinhead muscle bitch as a fighting game character, it would be an interesting change for once. Unlike literally every new Tekken character added since 5 which all of them have been generic as fuck.
And here come the edgy remarks by the anime fans. Fine, I am "edgy". I don't really care. But sometimes you need a balance.
It's unfortunate when you can't have a catgirl in your Japanese fighting games without getting bitched at by Neogaf.

The character is SUPPOSED to be that obnoxious fan girl who watches too much anime. Everything about her design is supposed to annoy you. Even her moves look obnoxious.

Are you the guy who tweeted at him in the first place
and where are you guys getting the idea that he wants to make some musclehead girl instead? he's saying saying that westeners would rather have some macho muscle-bound male with a shaven head and a ~BADASS~ heavy-hitting fighting style instead.
they should make more characters like bob, he was the best new character

what are you talking about lmao tekken is still more popular than sc.
[QUOTE=Fish_poke;46665800]The character is SUPPOSED to be that obnoxious fan girl who watches too much anime. Everything about her design is supposed to annoy you. Even her moves look obnoxious.[/QUOTE]
And her design completely fits Tekken because it's [I]stupid,[/I] and I mean that in an endearing way. I don't think a cutsey idolmaster anime girl is going to taint the roster with characters such as a bear, a wood man, and a man with a lion head.

Where did I say he wanted to make a musclegirl instead? I was just assuming he was taking the piss, and I am retorting with "what's wrong with that idea?" It would be much more interesting than this character. This character is just another predictable japanese character.
Also no I am not the man in the twitter. I am not even following the twitter. I am just angry about how bad Tekken's character design has been and I am disappointed in Harada not taking this well deserved criticism well.

dude, it's a fucking american that is taking the piss out of weeaboos. that's a decent portion of their fanbase that they're making fun of.

Oh no I still want it, I love tekken to death. I have been playing tekken forever. It's one of my favorite franchises. I am just vocalizing my disappointment in this bad track-record of new characters, and I think it's about time the fans started actually calling out some some of the bullshit for once, and I am disappointed at Harada to reacting at criticism like this.
Also I am fine with other people enjoying the character, I have no quarrel with other people who like it. I am just saying it's too over the top with it, even if it's a joke character. There are other characters similar in vibe like Xaiou. Why over-enthusiastic girl again? Why not something new?

except the people complaining about this character aren't complaining because of bad character design, the satire is flying over their heads and they literally want it changed because it offends them one way or another.

I've skimmed almost the entire gaf thread and i don't see any of this at all, most of the complaints are "fuck off anime."

Dragunov, Bob, Zafina, Lili, Miguel, Leo, and Lars were cool moveset wise.

Satire or no satire, it's still what it is. An obnoxious overly "anime" character. I am not surprised by the reaction.
It could have been done so much better too. Like say for instance if they made a "weeaboo" satire character but have him/her be a really over-dramatic nerdy person and carry a Katana or something japanese, but actually knows how to use it well despite his looks.
Just anything than "oh hey look another brightly dressed over-enthusiastic girl in a japanese game"
wait a minute i forgot something about harada.

This is not how a weeaboo works. If a weeaboo isn't a dumb, obsessed idiot, then they're not a weeaboo, and the entire satire is broken.

True moveset wise, but I am just talking about the art design.
SHIT, I totally forgot about Dragunov though. Ok every character since 5 except Dragunov. The rest I feel are already similar to characters from other games, or just look really bad like Lars.

Oh no what I mean is someone who is a dumb, obsessed, misinformed idiot, but is somehow really good because he was so obsessed, and also just looks really nerdy, because everyone in fighting games always has to look buff or beautiful. I want an ugly Tekken character for once to sympathize with lol.
