Confirmed Barefoot Customizations in Tekken 7 (Home Version)

Tekken 7 is OUT! Well, actually, it isn't officially... but some places, like Peru, have broken street date and not a lot of gamers are streaming Namco-Bandai's latest and greatest KOIFT game online and spoiling things for impatient Tekken fans the world over.

Well, we have to wait a few days more for the release of the PC version, but I think it'll be worth it. I did take a look at some non-spoilery vids, such as the one above. It shows off the currently-available customizations for most (Eliza not included) of the fighters in the game. I say 'currently' because it is quite obvious that many items which exist in the arcade version (and should by all rights be in the home game as well) as as yet missing. These include the swimsuits (including the all-important Tropical Bikini) for both females and males. I assume these items will be added post-launch by a patch, or offered as DLC content; the Season Pass after all mentions 'more additional costumes'.

That aside though, all is not lost. There ARE barefoot customizations for our lovely Tekken babes available in the game out of the box, although not for all of them. So who got left out of the bus and who will be barefootin' it on Tekken 7's launch week?

The Bad News first- Asuka Kazama, Nina Williams, Master Raven, Kazumi Mishima and Ling Xiaoyu (and Leo Kliesen if you still consider the character female) all have NO unique barefoot customization options as of yet. I'm really not sure why that is so- does the Tekken Team draw lotteries to see who can go barefoot or not in every Tekken game? Is there some sort of unwritten law? It can't be by age with Asuka and Ling being grouped with the other ladies... I really can't figure it out.

Anyway, the Good News: Lili Rochefort, Alisa Bosconovitch, Lucky Chloe, Josie Rizal and Katarina Alves each have one barefoot customization option.

Alisa has a barefooted skirt called the 'Peach Beach Skirt'.

Josie Rizal and Lucky Chloe both have P1 Bare Feet customization, allowing them to go shoeless in their default bottoms.

Sassy Katarina has a full-body customization called 'No Summer Dress', which refers to her Summer Dress oufit. Equipping No Summer Dress leaves Kat in just a fancy two-piece swimsuit and her sexy, lethal bare feet.

Finally, Lili has her uber-sexy 'High Class Bikini Skirt', a lower body customization which pretty much goes perfectly with any top. This pretty much shoots up her hotness waaay over Asuka (who is just a frumpy hag compared to her hahaha). Can you say upskirts every time she moves? LOL

So out of the box, about half of the female cast can go barefoot- half can't. That should be remedied by the addition of the Tropical Bikini costume, which we may have to wait for a bit. But thankfully, even this early I can easily say that at least Tekken 7 is miles away a much better game for footfans than Tekken Tag 2 was, and thanks to the sexier outfits, a notch above our longtime favorite, Tekken 6.

Man, I can't wait for June 2! Have you preordered your Tekken 7 yet?

Angel (and Leo) Barefoot Battles (Tekken Tag Tournament 2)

My new favorite team in Tekken Tag 2, ready to brawl!

 It's kinda crazy, but it's only recently that I've gotten some game time with Angel in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3). This is odd since aside from lovely and luscious tomboy Leo Kliesen and Christie Monteiro, she's the only other babe in the game who's totally barefoot (Unknown has her goo after all). I guess it's probably due to her being basically a Mishima-style fighter (which I don't particularly like). But I've played with her a bit, and I have to say I like her moves- particularly her sexy stomp! I do find her a bit hard to play as (she seems a bit on the slow side and, perhaps due to her wings, makes for a large target to hit.


Still, I think I really like Angel, and her cool moves aside- MAN, those flawless, alabaster white feet are, in a word, HEAVENLY. Really, they look good enough to eat. And they probably taste like Angel Cake. Heheh. Anyways, here are several vids of me trying out Angel and Leo as my new Tag Team in TTT2. Nice views throughout of Angel and Leo's sexy, lethal feet of fury!











If only for these two adorable barefoot blondes, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a barefoot classic in my book. Angel can stomp those heavenly soles on my face anytime! Enjoy the vids!

Tekken Tag 2's Wacky 'Item Move' Knockouts! (Tekken Tag Tournament 2)

Asuka's expression is priceless.

I'll be the first to say that when it comes to Tekken, my favorite chapter is still Tekken 6 as of this writing. However, despite the frustratingly-truncated Character Customization, I have indeed been having tons of fun with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3). Of course, despite not having barefoot customization, the game does have a fair number of unshod or semi-unshod hotties to choose from. But even better, some of the Item Moves (of which there are a LOT now) in the game are pretty awesome- in fact, they provide some pretty cool knockouts- which is great since TTT2 did after all basically omit KO animations (GAAAH). I have to say though, some of the Item Move KOs make up for this and then some.
I've decided though to start off this probable series of Tekken Tag 2 Item Move KO vids with two of the wackiest but coolest in the game.

First off is Anna Williams' Unique Item Move. Her Item is called the Witch Mask. What does it do? Well, you'd think that a glasses-type item would give her something like eye beams or such, but nope- the Tekken devs thought up something far cooler. Like all the KO Items, you trigger the move, you have to finish off your opponent with a specific move- in this case it's Anna's df, df + LP throw. If you hit them, the animation plays out. Though I didn't notice it at full speed, I eventually realized watching the move in slow-mo that Anna apparently force-feeds her victim with a weird red mushroom- obviously a poisonous shroom that causes the poor sod to do a silly dance before they pass out unconscious (probably just as much from embarrassment as from the actual toxin).


Anna inflicts an embarrasing (but quite cute and sexy) knockout on Leo...

Have to say, I LOVE this KO. I love the idea of how the opponent is kinda hypnotized or entranced, then falls out cold after. If I could tweak it though, I'd wish that the character would have just slumped to the ground out cold without any KO scream, but then this is Tekken so everyone screams when they pass out (why I love VF5). Anyway, the vid shows off the lovely Leo Kliesen doing the fatal dance, so that's pretty nice- never thought you'd see the tomboy dance like that... heheh.


Say 'Cheese'? How 'bout 'Nighty-night'?

Next up is the Unique Item Move for newcomer Miharu Hirano. This Japanese schoolgirl is Ling Xiaoyu's best friend and classmate, who just recently became unlocked for use in the game. Well, her unique item is the Schoolbag which, when equipped, gives her a new throw that has a pretty hilarious and VERY Japanese style to it. Miharu grabs her opponent and inexplicably gets them to pose with her for a souvenir snapshot!  After the pic is snapped, Miharu hops away, leaving her opponent, who's apparently transfixed in their silly pose, to fall to the ground (causing quite a bit of damage). I wish it were a KO throw but at least this way you can do it many times in a round to both enemies, if fighting a tag team.

You'll notice in both vids there's footage after the Item Move at the end showing Leo (and Asuka) lying unconscious afterwards. This footage comes from another Item Move- Marduk's Championship Belt which I'll probably make vids for another time. Suffice to say, that move has proven invaluable in making cool KO vids for TTT2- such nice views of both slumbering babes and their sexy, fleshy soles... Mmmm. Don't you wish you could just give those sleepy soles a massage? Or something else? Heheh. With that in your minds, enjoy the vids! More to come soon from TTT2 and other vids. Later then!

Leo Kliesen: Tekken Tag Tournament 2's New Barefoot Babe!

Makoto, move over- another barefoot tomboy just stole my foot-loving heart.

Okay, I knew going into my purchase of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 that the barefoot babe count wouldn't be stellar- but it actually turned out better than I thought. We've still got Asuka, Jun and Kunimitsu to customize into Hakama and Footguards, and a fully-barefoot Christie Monteiro and Angel. Eventually we'll also have Unknown and her black goo-covered but bare feet as another playable. But in all my predictions I would never have thought we'd get a new fully-barefoot babe from TTT2 in the person of Leo Kliesen. Yep, THAT Leo- the androgynous youth first seen in Tekken 6, whom we had written off long ago due to her insistence on appearing male in pretty much every way.
But really, this isn't another case of 'Poison' transsexual gender-bending; at most, it's just cross-dressing and masquerade. Prince Sapphire ring a bell? Leo is 100 percent all woman, flat chest and all. There is no ifs or buts about it- Leo is Eleanore from the very beginning, though the mystery of her actual gender was used as her schtick to much effect. Even after a pretty public reveal of Leo's true gender by Katsuhiro Harada during a Tekken Blood Vengeance screening in Germany, there were still those who doubted. I guess it's the same with Bigfoot or the Lochness monster- you have to see a body before people believe... and well, take a gander at Leo's bod!

Yeah, she's got broad shoulders (well, everyone does in Tekken) and a flat chest, but those hips, calves and feet are definitely, unmistakably female...

Like everyone else in Tekken Tag 2, Leo gets several swimsuit costumes as part of the game's "Bikini Bundle" Downloadable Content. Leo actually is a bit special- she gets not one but two sets of swimwear. One is a set of three Bikini Shorts outfit (kinda like Asuka's) where we do see her usually hidden breasts perk up a bit thanks to the bikini top. Yep, they're real, folks. But sadly, like every other character, Leo is wearing sandals with her bikinis... DAMN! It would have been over there but for Leo's second set of beach clothing- three 'Surf' Outfits that consist of a tight, long-sleeved top and pretty short shorts. And as a surfer should... Leo's barefoot in these outfits! So if you take a gander at Leo's bare footsies, I think there's now really no doubt that this person is a girl- no guy has feet those pretty.

Leo shows off her body- particularly her nice, very-female feet, in her fetching surf outfits.

So now I think Tekken Tag 2 just became that much hotter- still not as awesome as Tekken 6, but now at least it actually is a lot better than games like Dead or Alive 3 and DOA Ultimate- both classics whose barefoot appeal lie in just one girl (Hitomi). And there's quite a bit more to love from TTT2, even if a lot of stuff from Tekken 6 was omitted or changed weirdly. Plus there's hope- the game may receive more content as DLC in the future- who's to say barefoot outfits or characters are out of the question? Well, we can always hope.

I just can't keep my eyes off Leo's legs... nice to finally see them out in the open!

For now though, I'm really happy with a new barefoot muse to see in action- and well, I'm seeing Leo in a whole new light. I really AM a foot guy after all. A week ago, Leo wasn't anywhere on my radar as a prospet. Now, after seeing her show off her legs in TTT2... I'm thinking of all the things I'd want to do with her toes. Heheh.

Leo and Asuka face off against a solo (and barefoot) Kunimtsu!

For now, enjoy the vids with this kick-ass tomboy- actually TWO since Asuka's in the vids as well- and expect more from her (and other babes in TTT2) to come. It's been a long wait to Tekken Tag 2, and I'm glad it has paid off quite well. From here, I'm hoping for more barefoot content to be added, and perhaps word of the next Tekken game to come. Later then!
