Namco just dropped 16 piping hot screenshots from their upcoming brawler, Tekken 6, into our quivering hands. They're worth checking out in the gallery below -- while they're all pretty gorgeous, one image in particular stuck out in our minds. We are completely ensorceled by the picture you see above. Not only because we can't wait for PETA's imminent protestations to the strong imagery shown in the screenshot, but also because it's given rise to one of our new favorite idioms. Observe:
"Man, I've had one of those days that just make me want to kick a panda in the throat."

I've had a few of those days before.
I'd like to go all slow-mo with the camera revolving around me as I make the kick.

But, the panda is the Dragon Warrior and cannot be defeated!

I love how the characters are getting hit from at least 3 feet away and not touching each other to inflict pain. Innovation triumphs every time.

Well, they just leave room for those painful blue and red balls of energy emitting from their hands and feet....nah, you're right there's no explaining that mess.

while it may look like the panda has been hit, in reality brian is launching the vicious kick to the throat as the panda is lunging towards him to rip his brians eyes from his sockets.

IIRC, Tekken had a character that was a panda before Kung Fu Panda even came out.

The Panda has been around for eons of Iron Fist Tournaments.

There is no humor on the internet, only flaming and the attacking of easy targets.

Why they use animals in a fighting game anyways? Use Nazis, aliens, dinosaurs or women with big boobs, but not fucking animals.

have you played a Tekken game before? Gon, Kuma, Ogre, True Ogre, King, Mokujin are all crazy fighters based on animals (or a tree)

Yeah, I played Tekken before, but just the idea of fighting animals or a tree is just stupid.
I'll fight a animal or a tree in a RPG, but not in a fighting game.

I'm sure Tekken has all those things and a stupid wood trainig doll. All that's missing is a rude, crude, Sumo Santa Claus.
But take this to heart: at least it's not a car, like in FIghters Megamix.

I've had one of those days where I want to kick Jack Black in the face. Not really a panda though.

You know I haven't like a Tekken game since Tekken 2. Tekken 3 was OK but the only fighter I have ever liked in Tekken was Baek. 4-3-3-4-3-3-3-4-3-3 is his infinite string combo.
I'm just not into any fighting games anymore. I tried getting into SC IV and just couldn't do it and the same went for MK vs DCU. I have thought about getting SF IV and TEK 6 but figure that money is better spent on Killzone 2 and importing Yakuza 3. The genre is just so stale and people are just mad cheap online. ALl my favorite fighters are the second iterations. MK2, TEK 2, SF 2 ... well except for Killer Instinct.

In the defense of Panda Combat I will say this: It's better than fighting dinosaurs. "Yeah, welcome back frmo extintion...(Roundhouse)

Yeah, I know. And a Boxer at that. THink about it. Fragile, hollow raptor bone, being impactet by Paul's(or whomever's) mighty fist. You know the effort it would take to bring a raptor in time/to life. Somewhere in Tekken world, a scientist is wondering if all his years of study and research went into putting this ancient beast in a fucking MMA tournament.

Next will be a Winnie The Pooh fighting game, and they'll give Piglet and ability to beef up, hulk style, and he'll be called Pork.

In all seriousness, I'm excited for the game. The last Tekken game i got into was 4, and its been a while since I've played a fighter. Guess who I'll be choosing...
That's right! Marshall Law and Hwoarang

I don't see why peta would get mad about that panda. He's totally kicked my ass plenty of times. I hate that damn mammel. Besides, they do more harm for their cause than good with their moronic antics. How can they expect to be taken seriously when they do stuff like trying to get Ben&Jerry to use human breast milk for their ice cream? In the long run, it hurts them, and by extension the animals they try to protect. They do manage to do some good despite themselves.

PETA would get mad because they're fucking psychopaths. They hold animal life in higher regard than human life.

A human is an animal, which makes it confusing as all get out.

Still looks too plastic. The clothes are pretty detailed but the skin of the people...
is it just me or have the characters gone a little bit uglier?

If you'd fought through that many games, you'd be a bit beat-up too.
I just wanna see a fighting game include this:
