tekken wasted characters

hai so ive been a tekken fan since i was five, ive played tekken tag tournament and tekken 5

but yk noadays i played it all on my laptop (expect for tag2, 7 and 8) and theres some sort a problem with wasted characters like

making a characters and theyre just     there 


First example, Asuka Kazama

Tekken Asuka GIF - Tekken Asuka Kazama - Discover & Share GIFs | Asuka,  Female fighter, Tekken 7

what was gonna (and probably) be another important Kazama character was wasted and turned into a joke character

new players see Asuka and go "haha look it's Lili's rival, #gfs omggg" like no wtf Asuka literally wants nothing to do with Lili and wants to defeat Feng Wei

Asuka's first appearance was in Tekken 5, the best intro ever made btw, and had a good start:

1. Kazama, related to Jin
2. Has Jun Kazama's fighting stance and some Jun moves from Tekken 2/Tekken Tag Tournament
3. In her ending, she "healed" Jin (turned him from Devil Jin to just Jin) but she's unaware of those powers, which is another refenrence to Jun, and that whole idea went TRAAAASHHHHHHHH because "oooh Asuka vs Lili hehehehehehe"

Example two:: Nina Williams

Nina TTT2 - Nina Williams Fan Art (32289831) - Fanpop

Badass character actually, she had personality until it was wasted and turned into the usual "cold sexy assasin who doesn't care about anyone"

Nina had a good start in the first 4 games, the rivalry with Anna was crazy sometimes even unnecessary (like their tekken 5 endings). Their whole rivalry is because their father showed more love to Nina than Anna.

Then yk later in Tekken 4 it's revealed that the british boxer Steve Fox is Nina's son and that was shocking for me at least. Nina's ending showed her about to snipe Steve and end him but hesitated coz she found out that she's his mom and felt BAD. 

Guess what happened to that           SOMEHOW SHE DIDN'T FEEL BAD BECAUSE TEKKEN 5 SAID:    "The Syndicate told Nina that Steve Fox was her own son, but Nina felt nothing." Total bullshit, ever since tekken 4 her whole personality was just ruined and stayed the same stereotype of a female assasin "cold sexy who doesnt care about anyone but herself"

Third one I'll be strong and maybe wrong: Armor King II

Wait there's 2 of them?? Yeah, Armor King 1 died in Tekken 4, that's why he ain't there same for King 1 but he died in Tekken 3.

First appearance in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection as a PSP only character, he fights after his brother Armor King 1 was killed. That's later on revealed in Tekken 6.

I wouldn't really say his character was wasted but oh my God why did he HAVE to befriend Marduk?? Armor King 2 started his appearance to avenge his brother not befriend the murderer. :sob:

Fourth one, okay but hear me out on this one, Anna Williams

Just like with Nina, their rivalry is because their dad loved Nina more, Anna is weak but her personality isn't.

Almost every game, Anna is either an unlock-able character or a DLC, why? Because the creators favorite Nina. Anna could have had some better story, I mean I think they tried in Tekken 5 or maybe even 7, in Tekken 5 her prologue said that after not seeing Nina she felt she was missing something in her life and that's because she loves Nina as a sister despite their hatred.

In Tekken 7 though, from what I know Anna finally found someone who loves her and they were supposed to marry but guess what. Nina killed her fiance, that's why Anna wears black and Nina wears white.

Anna's story writing in my opinion was always bland and boring, "I hate my sister, we'll settle this in the Iron Fist Tournament!" --> *ending is either Anna being bullied or something sexual like their tekken 5 endings*


Genuinely they could had wrote something about idk bringing her back in Tekken 8 on the G-Corporation since she was probably friends with Kazuya (Anna's t6 prologue picture and special win pose in tag2), OR give her some interaction with Steve Fox!!

Overall, Anna's character is WASTED!!!

Okay last one is, Jun Kazama

The Lover of Flowery Names — “Did you forget my teachings?” Tekken: Jun  Kazama,...

First playable in Tekken 2, Jun was always my favorite character.

Canonically ONLY in tekken 2. Can you believe that? Yes she's in Tekken 8 but from what I've seen, she's not in the main story, my friend who played it said that she only appeared when Kauzya's body was laying somewhere and she walked blah blah idk.

Come on, she's an interesting character and an important one!!!

Reasons:
1. Kazuya's wife, was supposed to arrest him but they fell in love instead
2. Jin's mom, has a HUGE impact in Jin's story
3. Defeated Ogre (in tekken 8 it said that)
4. Defeated Devil while being pregnant
5. Unknown form (only in tag tournament games)

Well can't say much about Unknown coz that was supposed to be her lost sister, but yk that got scarped. Jun has a character, personality, one of the strongest female characters in Tekken and all that went 

TO WASTEEEEEE

>return in Tekken 8
>playable yay
>not in the main story

how does that make any fucking sense wtf

She was a cool character, I mean she had no story in t4 since she was just like a 2nd version of Xiaoyu
I dont think they'll return her in tekken 8
