Tekken 8 Director Blasts Fan for Criticizing Anna Williams' New Look, Saying 'The Content of Your Argument Are Entirely Unconstructive, Utterly Pointless'
Tekken 8 veteran Anna Williams is back, and her redesigned look is sparking a mixed reaction. While many fans are embracing the change, some are less enthusiastic, even drawing comparisons to Santa Claus.
When a fan requested a return to Anna's older design, Tekken's Katsuhiro Harada responded firmly, stating that while he understands not everyone will appreciate the new look, the previous designs still exist. He criticized the fan's presumptive claim to represent all Anna fans, highlighting the unproductive and disrespectful nature of their demands for a reversion, especially considering the extensive redesign work already completed. He further pointed out the inherent contradiction in criticizing both the new design and a potential reversion to the old.
Despite some negative feedback, primarily concerning her outfit, the overall reaction to Anna's new design is largely positive. Many fans appreciate the edgier, more vengeful aesthetic, aligning with their expectations following her fiancé's death. Specific points of contention include the coat's resemblance to Santa Claus attire and a perceived decrease in her mature, dominatrix-like appearance, with some feeling she now looks younger and less like a "woman."
A separate comment regarding the lack of rereleases of older Tekken games with updated netcode prompted a curt response from Harada, who dismissed the comment as pointless and muted the commenter.
Reddit user AngryBreadRevolution, for example, expressed satisfaction with the design, particularly praising the hair and outfit elements, although acknowledging potential issues with the coat's festive resemblance. Other comments highlighted specific elements like the white feathers, considered reminiscent of Santa Claus, and a perceived shift in Anna's age and overall appearance.
What do you think of Anna's the new outfit coming from Tekken 7?
