The man known as the King of Iron Fist, a formidable figure whose incredible strength betrays his age. He is usually a callous and heartless individual, but from time to time shows a softer side.

Capcom included Dr.Wily?

Slayerslice

They included my favorite Tekken character of all time, I am super-hyped about him.. and this game!!

ZeroX03

I kid, Tekken is my #1 fighter. I do hope he retains his EWGF.

Westlo

Honestly.. not feeling this look.. hopefully his alt is his younger version...

d3v

The look is expected since that skin colour is what Capcom seems to prefer for old farts.

What I really can't stand is his voice. Maybe I'm just a big fan of Gouri-san, but the new voice doesn't fit old Hei as much as he did.

Westlo

My problems are more so stuff like his mouth.. I dunno I think they could've handled it better. He's looking like a joke character right now.. but I guess that's fine since he's pretty much a joke character in all his Tekken endings anyway lol.

AYO?!

True, he went from a threat to rather comical...not so bad though since he has some of the best endings in the game and is a great character all around. If they can fix his mouth up to look like he doesn't just have gums it's cool. But eh I doubt it, Capcom is fucking lazy when it comes to graphics in this game. Six months and counting and they still have the "everyone is covered in dirt" look to the game.

I'm glad he's in but that model is horrid. I can undersatnd why everyone hates SF4 art style so much.

Slayerslice

Who changed the thread title? I liked it..
Funny thing is about Heihachi, he has a hella of a big head with a quite small frame

blitzfu

So hyped that Hei is officially confirmed!! Thank you Ono.

I'm gonna wait for more pics and vids, but so far I'm not liking his 3D model or voice actor. I do like the hair though, but he does look and sound like comic relief right now. A deeper voice and more "serious" animations are needed (why is he talking thoughout his Super and Cross Art? the real Hei would slam you down silently like a ninja and possibly just laugh or say "Nishtanu!").

Hei is supposed to be the most feared Mishima and one of the most vicious gangsters in the world, not some crazy old man who is "eccentric". If you agree with my post, head over to capcom-unity.com and make your voice heard. Cuz if we, the fans, don't say anything, Ono will turn Hei into the Dan of Tekken.

About his voice: His VA is the same as in TTT2 and Tekken Blood Vengeance, FYI. If anything, they followed Namco's choice (as they did with the other characters, especially the Japanese characters). So don't expect that to change.

Unless Capcom mean that his real age is revealed by his strength, I suggest they buy a better thesaurus.

His Voice Actor is fine. It's the overall package that is not good. His body language is eccentric, his stance seems to be comical, during combos he's yapping like a chatterbox. That's just not Heihachi.

One thing I always loved about Tekken's endings, the characters don't say shit, and that's what makes them so interesting. I wish Ono would incorporate that aspect of Tekken into SFxTK.

Hecatom

so we have Dr. Willy on SFxT

Da Stunna

I'm really glad to see Heihachi in the game but I can't get past how underwhelming his model is...

In the Tekken series, Heihachi is an OG with a good sense of humor and is built like a tank despite him being 70+. SFxT, he looks like a goofy geriatric cartoon character. Even his stance looks whack.

Damnit, Capcom.

Need more Heihachi love up in here. Ugh needs more gameplay vids too, I wanna see some hell sweep mix ups!

Slayerslice

Does Heihachi have some power-up stance orsomething? His skin is red and when he gets hit he gets normal again

d3v

Heihachi players who team him with Kaz (or Jin) should be forced to use Pandora in every match.

BalloonMonkey

Geez this is confusing, its either Pandora or a second super which he powers up or one of his specials charges his up.

Ahh found the Tekken reveals vid. Its his unique little pandora facelift.

Westlo

Heihaichi, not a fan of Tron.

chrisofrays{)

heihachi looks like Dr Wily. Hei vs Megaman :D

masked rider

Not a fan of the model either. Heihachi was goofy in Tekken because they often put him in silly situations in his ending. Making his model look like Dr. Wily is just pushing his joke aspect too hard.

ruthless_nash

is it me, or is Heihachi model based around Dan? look at it carefully... aslo agreed that he looks like shit, what a joke, this guy should have looked like a bad ass... but oh well.

Heihachi looks very solid from what I've seen, great pokes a fast overhead like Ken, it seems it's even faster then Ken's overhead

comicbaztard22

did everyone saw the ''Pandora'' trailer ?? heihachi has a move preaty like makoto where he becomes like red and make a preaty deam combo that was preaty deam cool :eek:

mowr

Heihachi is looking good. Slow walkspeed though so that might be a problem. Hope he doesn't turn out to be the Dudley of SFxT. Good damage and a fast overhead but not much else.

Slayerslice

Vegeta looks better, I mean Kazuya.

Kazuya has a godlike AA, I haven't seen Heihachi's AA yet.. does he have OTGF?

ruthless_nash

so seriously guys, heihachi = dan? also, whats the deal with him turning red instead of black/purple like the others in pandora mode?

Westlo

Nah compare them, there is differences.

Heihachi is a fucking boss, also he thinks Tron is shit.

BalloonMonkey

Turn on Pandora mode with Heihachi and you got yourselves infinite BIONIC ARMS with the super.

But above that, where the hell are my hellsweeps?

EDIT:

Oh and I just noticed, the artwork on the OP is slightly different then the one now on Capcom's site.

Funny thing is, if you have enough life, you can probably let yourself be hit and he'll still lose.

Psychoblue

I'm so pumped for Heihachi's reveal, and he looks like the exact kind of character I like playing as: massive damage in exchange for crappy walk speed (but isn't a grappler). His Super looks effing sick!

melflomil

He has a quick dash

HenryVape

i love that heihachi turns red during pandora mode instead of tron-lite. dude is the only one in his family that didnt get the devil gene and he still survived an explosion at point blank range, he sure as fuck dont need no weak ass purple glowy stuff to get really pumped!

Starhammer

ALL HAIL THE DEMON PIMP!!! HEIHACHI MISHIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

though instead of a command throw he seems to have some wicked mixups like that standing command normal that hits low

Lemres

now that I see heihachi in action, I don't think he looks as bad as in those screenshots

Westlo

Yeah I agree, I think my initial impression of him was ruined since he looked goofy as fuck when they showed him with his mouth open.. was fucking massive.

Genistar

This is what i got from the video for him
qcf-p (Counter)
qcb-k huricane like kick

Super (Near full screen and some fireball invicibility)

mowr

Heihachi's super needs to have its damage distribution redone. The last kick should do no damage so that the upward gut punch is the strike that gets the super finish background graphic.

Actually that's how they do it when he uses it to end a Cross Art. I've noticed a few changes like that for the end of Cross Arts, they've played around with angles and points of finish for some.

Shoryu Reppa

So Heihachi either has an anti projectile counter, his regular counter catches projectiles up close, or theres some wierd "rolento knife doesnt really count as a projectile, similar to Ibukis knife" stuff going on.

Well inSSFIV you can punch Ibuki's Kunai out of the sky, so I don't think they have projectile properties. Just like how the twin palms ARE considered projectiles.

Shoryu Reppa

Yeah, thats what I'm talking about. Ibukis knife doesnt count as a projectile, so maybe that means Rolentos doesnt either.

I just find it wierd that Heihachis couter caught Rolento for throwing a knife.

It's because Rolento was close enough for the counter to register. In SFIV, Gouken's counter would work on projectiles if they were fired close enough.

Yeah thats what I figured, proximity.
