The Twitter feed tekkenbob, the official feed for Tekken 6, dropped an interesting twitpic today. Along with a tweet mentioning that he "got a sneak peek at something I can't talk about yet" was the above picture. Who does that look like to you?
Gamertag Radio called it: it is Cardboard Tube Samurai, a recurring character from the web comic Penny Arcade. Mind you, this is not confirmed. We'll do our best to get something more concrete for you this weekend, but we're with GTR in guessing that they'll hold their cards close to their chests until this year's Penny Arcade Expo.
If this is legit, it's amazing that Penny Arcade has nudged their way into the Iron Fist Tournament. Nicely done, gents.

Regardless, that's still pretty awesome.
Here's hoping.
@Sonc8jct
You are aware that Soul Caliber, Tekken and Pac Man are all owned by Namco, right?
END OF DISCUSSION!
NamcoBandai makes Tekken too...
But, I'm still bummed that this game just looks like Tekken 5.5. I'll be getting KOF and Blazblue most likely.
I have the image of the CTS attacking a panda...and...I am weeping.
Too bad I don`t like Tekken at all.
But what if this sets a precedent? Would we want to see a Ctrl-Alt-Del Zeke cameo? Or something else?
don't like tekken (or fighting games really) but this is pretty sweet.

Sure, if whatever developer wants to sell less copies of their game, that would be a great idea for them to put a CAD cameo.
Yes, that was the big clue. Now, would you think this is bigger news than the inclusion of Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur 4?
Well, Tekken is a Namco property as well.
Tekken 6 is already out in arcades and has been for over a year now I think.
This version of the game, although it's called "Tekken 6" is actually going to be the arcade's "Tekkken 6: Bloodline Rebellion."
Namco essentially SKIPPED the T6 home release and is now releasing T6.5 on consoles.
I was listening to Giantbombcast and Jeff Gerstmann was ranting about how Namco is making it difficult for people who try to organize sites such as themselves, because he said he will not list "Tekken 6" as being under more than just the Arcade platform and he'll list "Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion" as Arcade/Ps3/360 instead, despite the box covers saying just "Tekken 6".

At least the guy that draws the strip learned how to draw (slowly) over the years. It's a shame the dude (is that the fat, bald one?) that writes the "news" still is a pretentious hack.
