Some Tekken fans are PISSED Bruce Irvin, their original Muay Thai character, is being replaced by a REAL Muay Thai fighter from Thailand going by the name of Fahkumram(LMAO!!!!)

IMO, it's fake outrage. Bryan Fury was also introduced as another Muay Thai fighter long ago and no one gave a shit but now they introduce another one and some people throws the biggest fit.

Tekken 7 was a mistake

Three stupid ass season passes that cost more than the game itself

And one of them consists entirely of returning characters Harada promised would be free

The story mode you can finish in one sitting with that awful fucking narrator Harada personally wanted

Somehow having less content than SFV

AND it still doesn't have an Xbox One X enhancement so it looks like its done in watercolor on that console

At least I'll always have Tekken 3

Thankfully Soul Calibur 6 is better in pretty much every way than V

I like how you go from "fans are mad they are replacing an older character" to "fans shouldn't be bothered they are adding a new character".

Uh, Bryan Fury clearly isn't a muay thai fighter just because he sometimes kicks and elbow punches you.

His fighting style was definitely similarized to be a kickingboxing style.

But he was the new "Bruce". He had a very familiar move set in 3, and they were one of the special pairs in Tag

Never said he was Bruce

But it was clearly Bruce's replacement in 3. They have some of the same combos.

@RdVEHfJqAvUPIbk This is strait from the Wiki -

Fighting style

Bryan fights using a style of Kickboxing. Kickboxing is a popular combat sport that saw fruition in Japan in the 1960s. Kickboxing's punching techniques are almost identical to that of regular boxing, with kicking techniques being the aspect of the sport that differentiates itself from the latter, being an important part of a practitioner's arsenal. Elbow and knee motions also have heritage in the martial art Muay Thai, also defined as kickboxing in it's broader term. Bryan's kickboxing is not strictly traditional, with him putting his own sadistic twist on certain moves, notably the Fisherman's Slam. Many moves are also derived from Karate techniques.

Bryan Fury replaced Bruce Irvin, so they share many similarities, such as their nationality, fighting style, a single win animation (which Bryan no longer has from Tekken 4 and onwards), and an involvement with and hatred of Lei Wulong. Despite these facts, there is no confirmed relationship between the two in the storyline.

rain, you don't get it, do you? Harada stating one thing, that Bruce isn't replaced by Bryan, hence him being back in Tekken 5 trumps your editing of a fan wiki.
Now go back to the old gimmick instead of trying to flame.

I thought it was at first because someone said, "it's cool to have a Tekken character based on you," but I didn't see any real person with a quick Google search

Bryan was a replacement for Bruce like how Hwarang was a replacement for Baek. Like how Jin was a replacement for Kazuya.
