While other next-generation fighters are shooting forsexy, busty new character designs, it looks like the team behindTekkenis shooting for the chubby chaser crowd.
Namco Bandai’sother fightermay have just added a bit more “up top” as well as a touch more junk in the trunk on characters likeIvyand Taki, but inTekken 6they piled all the pounds on one new character, brilliantly named Bob. If you’re one of those gamers that always picks the cool-looking character, well… let’s just say that you’ll never use Bob. He looks like the cross between an overweight Ken Masters fromStreet Fighterand Dr. Eggman fromSonic the Hedgehog. I fully expect to see “Face Sit” as a special move.
Digital Battlehas a scan of the semi-Mario outfitted porker himself. The magazine says that Bob used to be a good-looking martial arts pro, but he could never take down the big guys. Discouraged, he left for some time and came back bigger than ever, ready to take the Iron Fist Tournament #6 by storm.
GuitarAtomik’sDestructoid community blog post “Tekken 6’s Bob!!…In Full Butterlust Action!!” has scans from more pages of the Arcadia Magazine (Japanese) spread this news came from. You may be suprised to see that the big guy can kick some ass. Note the fancy digs Bob’s sporting from the Big and Tall Store in thelower left corner of the picture. Classy.
