Hayame Zero 08/05/19 11:24:00 AM #1:	https://www.pcgamer.com/snake-is-not-sneaking-into-tekken-7/ This weekend, EVO hosted a few fighting game announcements amid the relentless brawling of the tournament's competitors, and one in particular got folk all in a lather. During the Tekken 7 finals, it looked like Metal Gear Solid's Snake was being teased as an upcoming fighter. Hopes were raised and then, tragically, dashed. "That was some good-ass Tekken," said Snake in a codec that played for the EVO audience. The random appearance of a character from an unrelated series usually means crossover is due, so the clip quickly spread outside of the tournament. You can watch it below, courtesy of AllGamesDelta. Unfortunately, it was all a misunderstandingjust a joke gone awry that was just meant for the audience. EVO put it together without talking to Bandai Namco and it was meant to be a "little joke". The organisers posted an apology on Twitter: Just to clear things up, the Snake cameo video that we showed during Tekken finals was our idea of a little joke. It was not intended to imply a character reveal, and was done on our own, without consulting Bandai Namco. Sorry for any confusion! Snake's appeared in a few fighting games before, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Ultimate, so it wasn't much of a leap. Who knows, though? Maybe all the excitement will inspire an actual crossover. Bring him out of retirement. While Snake is absent, Tekken 7 is still getting some new characters. Bandai Namco revealed the Season Pass 3, bringing back Zafina and introducing a new character, Leroy Smith. Zafina will return in September, followed by Leroy in winter 2019. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame Zero posted [p:925650827] in EVO clarif...

Alpha218 08/05/19 11:41:22 AM #6:	What a stupid mistake, like of course everyone is going to think hes a crossover DLC fighter. FFS the game has Noctis and Negan for some reason, and SC has Geralt and 2B. Namco can get nearly whoever they want in their game as a guest character. --- I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite user on the Citadel.

dotsdfe 08/05/19 9:24:53 PM #14:	It's amazing how this little stunt managed to piss everyone off. Fans are pissed because it seemed like a tease at Snake but wasn't. Harada and Bamco are pissed because it kind of hijacked their reveal without their permission. David Hayter is pissed because he was tricked into recording that. It was just awful all around, and drew (deserved) ire from everyone on all sides.
