Respect from his Tekken Rival

 

[The Mad Titan]

Respect from his Tekken Rival

Yeah I recall him speaking on him candidly in bits and pieces before.

There probably would have been a Tekken vs DOA or some kinda crossover if things were different with the IP.

I respect that kind of rivalry, low-key when harada is gone or retired it's going to be a HUGE blow to gaming but more so behind the scenes. Us fighting game fans gonna feel it the most, but low-key his aggressive and no nonsense push for his work and to understand and collaborate with others is gonna have a ripple effect.

Real nikka shyt from the GOAT

Really one of my GOATs.

Gonna hurt when Shigeru goes too.



He really deserved better.
Can't believe he basically fell off three generations ago.
shyt is crazy.
