Penny Arcade's Cardboard Tube Samurai a playable in Tekken 6 photo

#Penny Arcade #Rumors #Tekken #This is my jam

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.

covah

If anything PA just did a costume for Tekken 6 like CLAMP did, but still, that is fucking awesome!

Matthew Razak

that is fucking epic even if it is not a character.

Paustinj

Thanks for helping getting the word out Dale. This looks so awesome, can't wait for some more info at PAX.

Guagloves

Holy shit. That rules

Ben PerLee

Very cool. I'd think CTS would do better in SoulCaliber, but seeing as his swords are, well, cardboard, I can understand the Tekken shift.

Jaren Face

Yeah, like Covah said, after looking at the hands, it definitely looks like a costume for Yoshimitsu.

Regardless, that's still pretty awesome.

Bodb

Check out the hand though, it looks like Yoshimitsu's. It might just be a bonus costume, like the series is wont to have. If he was Yoshimitsu, though, he's missing his back wheel, so hopefully it's an original character. Soul Calibur seems like a better fit for the character, but what the hell, it's PA, I can't wait.

Sonic9jct

I'm surprised he's not in Soul Caliber seeing how he, you know, has Pac-Man on his outfit.

chuchoyei

Anyone knows what happened to penny arcade adventures? they were supposed to be 4 but they stopped at 2

Tron

and suddenly, Tekken 6 is relevant to my interests.

jediyoshi

Holy.

Video Cognito

Definitely Yoshimitsu. CTS has the Yoshimitsu flag right behind him. Regardless, this is AWESOME. Say what you will about Penny Arcade, but those dudes are what's up.

Doomsday Forte

Even an outfit sounds pretty nice. Though I'm sure by SC5, we can make our own CTS.

Here's hoping.

DaedHead8

Is it April 1st? HOLY SHIT IT'S NOT APRIL 1st! This is awesome!

@Sonc8jct
You are aware that Soul Caliber, Tekken and Pac Man are all owned by Namco, right?

GoldenGamerXero

Tekken 6 is now the fighting game of the year.

END OF DISCUSSION!

Necros

This is pretty awesome!

covah

@Sonc9jct

NamcoBandai makes Tekken too...

CallMeRotten

Hah that's pretty cool.

mekklesack

O_O;; That is awesome.

JLanphear

That's MAD epic.

SWE3tMadness

...I may just have to play this game now. :D

Analoge

I was excited about tekken 6 on general principal, but this has thrown it into fever pitch mode.

Magnalon

This is pretty cool: Yoshimitsu is my favorite Tekken character of all time.

But, I'm still bummed that this game just looks like Tekken 5.5. I'll be getting KOF and Blazblue most likely.

Monodi

OH. Hell, yeah!

eternalplayer2345

I need to lay this now

TheCleaningGuy

Cool, a CTS costume for Yoshimitsu is some nice fan service, even if I think the actual CTS comics are self-indulgent pap.

-PL-

Love Penny Arcade, hate Tekken. Pass. :(

stafax

If that is Cardboard Tube Samuari, wouldn't it have made more sense for them to put him in Soul Calibur instead of Tekken?

Havoc Fang

GURK.

I have the image of the CTS attacking a panda...and...I am weeping.

Video Cognito

Backing off a bit from Tekken, how about some Virtua Fighter? Eh eh?

Video Cognito

Ooh, confirmation from Gabe's Twitter: http://twitpic.com/7uojn Yes this is for real. Cts costume will be in tekken 6!

Arch649

Not big on Tekken, but this is awesome.

Teta

This is great.
Too bad I don`t like Tekken at all.

Roager

The PacMan on the clothes is proof.

But what if this sets a precedent? Would we want to see a Ctrl-Alt-Del Zeke cameo? Or something else?

trueb7ue

love tekken, not a fan of PA. pass : (

peachboy

yeahhh clay fighter! i mean..
don't like tekken (or fighting games really) but this is pretty sweet.
<3pa

Im OK

Ha ha, that's pretty cool. Almost makes me care a little bit about Tekken, even.

stafax

@ Roager

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.

Dexter345

I can dig it.

Batthink

@ Roager;

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?

AgentMOO

@Sonc9jct

Well, Tekken is a Namco property as well.

Wedge

Seems more appropriate for SC, but neat. Too bad I hate 3d fighters, especially Tekken.

BlackFreefall

They announced Tekken 6 back in 2006. Is Namco competing with Square Enix to see who can wait the longest to produce a game. (Duke Nukem doesn't count)

DinnertimeNinja

@BlackFreefall,

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.

stafax

@ DinnertimeNinja
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".

infinity

fuck yessssssss. i like penny arcade, i love tekken, and this is the perfect combination of the two.

Danielzilla

This is great news. If it's just a costume, as I'm sure it is, I won't be nearly as happy though.

mudkip5000

This is the greatest thing i've heard all week.

annahe

The very real feeling��

<a href="http://www.macosvideoconverter.com/tutorial/quicktime-mac.html>Why the image disappears but you can hear the sound?</a>

JamnOnTheOne

Ugh...This is worse than including Star Wars into SC.

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.
