@Randolph: Sorry Randolph, but i did not make that statement. I did ask the question if it was on purpose, but 20 years is a long enough time to at least ask the question. Tekken is not a new series.

You might read my full text or my other posts. But please don't make it seem as if i have deposited any claims that i did not.

I have merely stated FACTS about Namco's roster of the past 20 years. Maybe you're 50 years old and 20 years doesn't seem long to you. In that case ... i apologise. I'm in my 30s and 20 years is a big amount of time to me. If it's all coincidental i still want it to change and even though "game designers can make the game they want.... I STILL don't have to play the happy silent consumer.

If you must laugh and ridicule all you want. I'm not bothered at all. For i have a goal. Don't need approval, just need to urge the publisher to action. So i will campaign on.

Sorry, don't pay attention to me.

@Randolph:

Forum Posters should be allowed to make the posts they want, the way they want to make them. Your entire reply is baseless speculation mixed with a dash of hyperbole and topped off with a thick and ripe smelling helping of steamy hot pseudo intellectual keyboard diarrhea.

In short, this is a bad reply, and you should feel bad for making it.

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao for Tekken 7! 9 years of Steve Fox as the only boxer is a joke!

Digital Apartheid?
After 20 years of Tekken the makers have totally ignored the most populous nations and created characters only from a small part of the world. Are certain people not welcome to the party? Are some ethnicities being censored on purpose?

Amazingly Namco Games has published a MARTIAL ARTS game that has NO CHARACTERS from several countries that are globally recognised if not famous for their martial arts.

Not 1 character from Thailand. Not 1 character from Indonesia or Malaysia. Not 1 character from the Philippines. Tekken has not featured a single South-East Asian character, not ever....

I just had to speak out. No offense meant but it's hard to stay silent while the crowd cheers for Pokkén.

It seems Namco is more likely to add new animals or digimon to Tekken than Thais, Filipinos, Indians or Indonesians. Yes, according to the makers of Tekken all Asia and it's martial heritage is represented only by Japan, China and Korea. The rest of you don't exist in the Tekken universe. (for 20 years)

I'm urging Tekken fans to urge Namco and Katsuhiro Harada to make Tekken more ethnically diverse.

You can read my full post here on my blog. It's a loooong text, so i only posted the opening.

Want to take action? #HelpHarada
