Tekken 6's recently uncovered character Bob is a pretty big (read:fat) guy, but he has nothing on the newest character find: Nancy.
Nancy is big enough to take up half of the screen, but that's not because she's fat. You see, Nancy is a huge (and apparently unbeatable) robot. GamerCenterOnline says that she comes out on a bonus stage, and you'll be able to move on even after defeat.
Why defeat? Nancy uses missiles and lasers to attack, has a huge life bar, and can even attack while being hit. You'd think that because Nancy doesn't block and can't juggle that you'd have chance, but the poster says that they haven't witnessed a single successful defeat yet.
Nancy sounds interesting, though I don't know that she would be a playable character. I guess you never really know with Tekken.
Where do they get these names? Bob and Nancy? That sounds like a Middle-American surburban couple. What next? Harold?

Im coming Namco! and Im bring the 'Bore worms'.
I hate Tekken.
...I guess.
Though, I would enjoy a Nancy vs. Nancy fight. The novelty would last me a bit.
Tekken 6 should be dastardly good time!
It's like have a slightly over-weight middle-aged white guy as the bad guy in your movie. Truth be told, there's really nothing scarier.
The next is Wayne Holden...oh wait.
also tekken is lame.
Also, Tekken ball tournaments.
Namco's just gone way too far now.
I'm glad this shit isn't going to soil my 360. I'll take Street Fighter IV or Virtua Fighter 5 over this ass-fisting any day. Namco ruined the Tekken series when they made into a cheap-ass, air juggle contest with Dark Resurrection.
Also, I'm just curious.... why do they always waste space with such retarded characters?
Tekken 5 was the high point of this series (even that game had some pointless characters) and I don't see it getting any better any time soon.
Hopefully Namco doesn't add a giant fighting tree to Soul Calibur or something. I don't know if I could take it.
P.S. - Eddie Gordo and Christie are pieces of shit.
This guy owned Nancy.
