Bullrage

With respect, sir, you need social media training. You have managed to piss off almost every corner of the Tekken community. Consequences do have actions and we are seeing that play out in Tekken 8. Claiming that you guys can't ban or penalise people for rage quitting or cheating due to law suits, not letting your player base know that a paid store would be in game ahead of release, claiming to buff defense and then dropping season 2, claiming we were going back to basics and then dropping season 3... and the list goes on. You absolutely DO NOT deserve death threats or even the playground insults, but you do deserve to be criticised for the product and your juvenile tweets. If Harada and Nakatsu left because of Tekken Twitter then that is entirely their fault. This app does have a lot of unhinged anime pfps on it, but it also has a lot of great people that offered genuine criticism in the most polite way possible, but all you guys ever did was hyper focus on someone saying something nasty, spend time addressing them and then block the people that genuinely love this franchise. You have ignored your core base, focused on arkham asylum inmates on this app and doubled down on your stances. As a leader, you should be able to shoulder the burden of negativity when you mess up and still steer the ship, offering explanations, clarifications and acknowledgements when you go wrong. You have done none of that. You still haven't clarified your "just block low instead of sidestep" comment from many moons ago. I don't hate you and i'm sure you're a nice guy in real life but watching you operate on social media is like watching a deer in headlights. None of us are perfect and we all mess up and say dumb things, but you are so incredibly consistent with your bad takes and disdain for the community that I do not think you should be in charge. You're clearly jaded by the push back you get on this app. It would be nice if you could put past grievances aside and actually address concerns directly instead of making silly comments, but maybe I am asking for too much. In any case, if you are the Captain now, I hope you make the best Tekken game possible and if you're not, then I hope you find happiness and joy in whatever you decided to move onto.

He's not random or obscure. He's from an extremely popular manga series called Baki that has sold over 100 million copies and spawned several successful anime adaptations. He is also the classical martial arts trope that Tekken is known for. Baki has literally inspired characters in Tekken like Feng Wei. Tifa had no place in Tekken no matter how many times people asked.
