Tekken 7 will add many new character to the fighting roster. Some have already been announced, some will be announced in the near future. Director of the game, Katsuhiro Harada, hinted on twitter that one of the new entries, Lucky Chloe, could be available only in the European and Asian versions of the game.
Lucky Chloe is a living, moving and fighting big reference to japanese pop-culture and I love every word of that sentence. Tekken is historically a game that takes itself seriously, but it’s not short of peculiar and over the top characters like fighting bears or kangaroos, extremely agile obese men or mexican wrestlers. In a so diverse roster, there is definitely space for a fighter like Chloe. That’s why many american fans of the franchise are not happy with this decision.
At the same time, some other people don’t find that Lucky Chloe would be a valid addition to the game. Of course when you play a fighting game with a huge selection of possible characters like Tekken, you could just pick someone else to fight. But for some people the simple fact that a character they dislike is present is unbearable, arriving to ask Harada to add an option in game to make impossible to meet unwanted characters in arcade mode.
Chloe could not see the light in the USA then. Does that mean that there would be another character exclusive to that region to replace her? Apparently that could be the case. When asked by a fan, Harada stated on twitter that they’re gonna release another character hinting to “Looks well-muscled, Skin-head, Very powerful attack”.
In any way, more characters are to be announced for Tekken 7. If this rumor turns out to be confirmed, it’s legit to expect some of them to be region exclusive as well.
DISCLAIMER: Some people around the internet claimed that Harada’s decision to not include Lucky Chloe in the american version of Tekken 7, was caused by a thread on the bulletin board NeoGaf where the users were complaining about the looks of the characters plus some tweets to him carrying the same sentiment. Right at this moment, we have no official word from Harada if that’s the case. From what we know, Chloe is was a region exclusive character since her conception. We at TechRaptor don’t feel like making this allegation. We have, anyway, reached to Harada via twitter for clarifications on this point. Should there be news, we’ll update the article accordingly.
