There won't. The set is already finished as far as I'm aware. We're just waiting now to make sure everything is printed in July =)

YOU think most Tekken fans want Heihachi dead. Good thing that's not the same as fact. Not having needing the devil gene to be a bad-ass is part of what makes him so appealing.
This post is filled with win.
Where is my Jin or Lei they were my favorites. One attack I hope they will print is Nina's ***** slap and crotch shot.

HDC - You ought to do yourself a favor and do some research. When I first saw King of Fighters, I thought it was just some cheesy rip-off of Street Fighter, and that KOF fanboys were nothing more than people who weren't around for the greatness of SFII.
Then I did some research, learned about the characters, the KOF world, and all the other worlds it was comprised of (art of fighting, fatal fury, etc), and I gotta say, I've completely changed my thoughts. The two are similar to an extent, but the differences are EXTREMELY present, and I can definitely say I'm quite into KOF, even MI2 (2006).
Fuuma - To each their own. I realize the time frame of T3-6 isn't really a huge one, but Namco is starting to drift away from Tekken's "let's introduce a TON of new characters, and leave some of the older ones", to "let's introduce a few new characters, and keep ALL of the older ones", which is one of the many reasons I hate Soul Calibur. Tekken 2, Tekken 3, and Tekken 4 all felt extremely fresh. New mechanics game-to-game, and a boatload of new characters, while cycling out older characters.
While I still believe T5-DR is the best Tekken, I gotta say, they're going to have to start getting rid of some characters eventually. Not killing them off persay, just not including them every game.
Yes, I am sick and tired of Heihachi Mishima. I had nothing but tears of joy when I found out that the only good Mishima in T6BR is Jin Kazama, and that, for the first time in Tekken's history, Devil Jin, Kazuya, and Heihachi, are all "mid tier" at best. But my hatred for Heihachi isn't that he's constantly top tier, it's that he's so old, somehow survived an explosion (no explanation there), and as Hatman pointed out, isn't really relevant to the story.
After T6, I'm looking forward to some new villains, and new groups that threaten the world, not just, "MFG here, Tekken Force there".
I don't understand when you say "good Mishima" is that referring to their tier? Lastly I check Jin is mid-tier(B), while Kazuya is top-mid tier(S-A) in BR. Also Lars which is Heihachi's son is upper-mid(A-B) tier from what I understand. Heihachi is SS tier, and Devil Jin did get nerfed, but is still upper-mid tier. Though this is all gonna vary depending which list you go off of.

SC2 ruined Heichachachachi for me.

Heihachi ruined the PS3 version of SC2.
Link, Spawn...and, um...an old dude who uses his fists in a weapons-based fighter, lol!
Er, I meant PS2. My bad.
The weirdest thing about the character list?
NO TEKKEN 6 NEW CHARACTERS!
No Dr. B's daughter, no bird lady, no Bob, no Spanish brawler. They're flagships for T6 (differentiating it from T5, etc.), so I find it really strange they didn't add one in. I hope to see them as early promos maybe?
---------------------------------------------------------------
I really hope to see Yoshimitsu in his Cardboard Tube Samurai costume as a promo.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I really hope to see Mokujin as a promo eventually. He can be done. Here's my latest idea.
6-diff, 6-control, Infinity Symbol, 7 HS, 22 Vit
"At the beginning of the game, search your deck for any number of characters not named Mokujin and reveal them. If you cannot reveal at least 8 characters with different names, you lose the game. Shuffle all revealed characters into your deck.
The first time you check a character card when making a control check this game, attach the checked character to your starting character. Your starting character gains all abilities and resource symbols of the attached character.
R: After you play an attack, your attack gets +2 speed. The attack also gets +2, +1, +0, -1, or -2 damage; decide randomly. Only playable if you do not have a character attached to your starting character."
Yeah, it's a bit long. But you get a speed boost representing the surprise of attacking with who-knows-what. As soon as you flip a character, everyone figures out who the heck you are, and there are no more surprises.

I use Tekken Zaibatsu's, the only place worth listening to.
Lars is absolutely top tier, second only (debatable) to Steve Fox.
None of the Mishimas are bad (they never will be), but Jin is hands down the best Mishima in T6BR. Not sure where you foudn your list, but Heihachi is nowhere close to even A tier.
Well here is the link I got mine from
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=953961&topic=47432773
I went to Zabatsui, I couldn't really find it.
Thats funny cause Kazuya must have got super nerfed since Bob, DJ, and himself were the SS class in Japan's version. Sad face

*realizes what you're talking about*
You're talking about the Tekken 6 tier list.
I'm talking about Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.
Unfortunately, the differences are huge. In Tekken 6, almost every new character is top tier, as well as most of the Mishimas.
In BR, however, the top tier is undeniably defined by:
Steve (homo tier)
Lars
Lili
Lee
Law
Asuka
Man, if Asuka wasn't on that list, it would've been a tasty side dish made of shredded cabbage.
SLLLLaw

Steve (homo tier)
Seriously, Steve needs to be nerfed BAD.
We're talking TO THE GROUND, BABY! levels here.
I'm very aware of the nerfness that happened between Tekken and BR, could you link me to the offical tier list? I'm sure a new has come out recently.
I'm hoping we get some promo Lars action when the set releases. I'm rather interested in seeing how he is gonna play out in the series, and see how powerful he is compaired to Kazuya/Jin etc.

I think most Tekken players have the same concensus. He was pretty stupid in both 5 and DR, but in 6BR? Oh yeah, the guy has the same lame safeness he's always had, with added toys (lol@super boxing gloves).
Teric I'll try to find that tier list. I also know that such characters as Bruce Irvin and Jin Kazama are near the top.
Lars better be amazing in UFS, especially when compared to Jin and Kazuya. I'm not too familiar with competitive KOF, but I've seen Lars compared to Iori in that he's extremely fast and extremely safe.
Yeah I'm not really a big fan of Steve, he is like a boxing pirate, have you heard this guy?! When he punches he makes like a YAR!! sound.
O.o like Iori?? Yum...
Yeah I was just reading up on 6BR, I see were Jin didn't get nerfed.
I wish they would give him back the Laser Scaper adjust frame.
I agree with you on giving him his old (not oldest) laser scraper back. One nitpick though, it's "just" frame, not "adjust". The term started from an old game on psx called Tobal, where you had "just" one frame to execute certain moves, or to input in the frame to change the way the move hit. That term has carried itself into other games and is used more generically. EWGF (Electric windgodfist) moves from tekken have been called just frame moves, though they typically have had up to three frames for the input to take place. Sorry to nerd out like that, but you know how it is. I'm pretty passionate about tekken as it was my first and favorite game that I played competitively at a national level. Only other one was SC, but even though I was probably better (definitely placed better in tournaments), I never liked it as much as Tekken.

Ah man is all good, yeah now that you mention it is a "just" frame. See I started playing Tekken when it first came out but really never understood the game play that well. It wasn't smashy smashy, then I started hanging around these guys who play Tekken 4 prettty heavy. So I bought and learn frame data, just frames, etc. Overall its a pretty scientific game, but I love Kazuya, JIn, Lee, & Devil Jin. I actually prefer the Kazuya from T4, I felt he flowed better, and I really liked Jin's Laser Scaper (blue sparks!). So I really excited to see them in Tekken 6.
I've always wanted Tekken in UFS and now I have it, so I'm pretty pumped about Kazuya, and more than likely if he has Evil as a symbol I will play him at worlds. I hope he is Chaos/Evil/Fire or Chaos/Evil/Death.
Kazuya shouldn't have Chaos.
In my fan creations, I've made Kazuya's symbols Air/Evil/Order, with Air and Evil being the two he keeps for each version I make. Not sure where FFG will take him, but Kazuya simply HAS to have Evil.
As far as my Tekken knowledge goes, I'm getting ready for Tekken 6 console version. I used to own literally every Tekken game...before my half-brother took ALL of them without my permission, leaving me without a way to practice. As such, I'm reduced to nothing more than reading around the TZ forums and watching videos to get a hang of it.
I've always wanted to be a competitive King player, and in 5DR he's definitely in the top10. However, the problem with his chain grabs is that any good player will know how to escape them.
I have a good feeling Kazuya will have Death/Evil, not quite sure on that third symbol though. Order woul be nice, cause Death/Evil chains well, and Death/Order does too. Add in the fact you got Charismatic, BRT, and Cutting Edge, that share Evil/Order, you could make one powerful deck.
Idk but I'm just excited as heck, I hope he has some bonkers attack like Knight Breaker or Infiltrating lol.
Also I'm looking forward to King, probably a good control character. Now Paul will probably have some big dumb attack for his UR.
Oh I like the Nina, really interesting.
I don't want the premier Kazuya to have Death. Death is all about killing and finality, and really, Kazuya isn't necessarily that epic (although that isn't to say he can't or won't kill).
Some symbols that make sense for Kazuya are:
Evil
Order
Air
Fire
Earth
The Kazuya I had made was like *Zhao Daiyu*, except even MORE on crack =D
I also look forward to King. As I said, this King HAS to be Throw-oriented, or Combo (Throw)-oriented. As I said, I've always wanted to use King in Tekken, and UFS i no exception. I'm expecting King to have Earth and Good, or Earth and Life, or all 3.
Paul I'm expecting to be Powerful-oriented. This game has like, no Powerful support whatsoever.
Nina I'm extremely excited about because, while she is extremely nifty on her own, her support will inevitably make her ability look that much more handy.
And seeing as how Christie had to be remade because she was broken, I'm also looking forward to seeing her and her hopefully kick-based Water support.
