I remember back in the day bruce was a hot character. People played him alot. Revered as a top and popular character. Do one for armor king, he was also a hidden gem.
He had as much right to be in Tk7 as Jin, Nina, Alisa, Eddy, Lars, Kazuya and Anna. Why is he the only character from the whole Zaibatsu VS. G-Corporation feud from Tekken 6 absent? Can't say he was underused cause people paired him with Eddy or Kazuya in TTT2 a LOT & he's a legacy character. No valid reason to not be in Tk7. I don't wanna hear "Fahkumram or Josie replaced him" They share moves with him but they aren't identical. Bruce has his own personality, idle stance animation, chain throws and stances & it's not uncommon for characters with the same fighting style or similar moves to be in the same CANON game. Mishimas? King and Armor King? Devil Jin and Asuka ? Ganryu, Jack & Kuma ? Nuff said. He could've narrated the story since he IS Kazuya's right hand man. And in Eddy's character episode, Eddy could've wanted revenge on Kazuya, but Bruce would say he has to go through him to get to Kazuya. Then we'd get the Mercenary of G-Corporation VS. The FORMER mercenary of the Mishima Zaibatsu. I'd take that over that bs with Lucky Chloe. No excuse!
If he come back in " Tekken 8 ", he's the 2nd character i'll play the most. I could only imagine how strong he can be seeing how characters like Law, Nina and Jun are SS tier 😳 !
I've used Bruce since I had first tried him in TEKKEN 2 and first labbed him in TEKKEN TAG 1 for PS2. Starting with TEKKEN 5, I had elevated him to being my top main in the series. It is ridiculous that he was replaced twice in Tekken 7, but hopefully he returns in Tekken 8.
T6 BR Bruce is a good wall carrier, Punisher and damage monster. Then Tag 2 Bruce is more fun to play with especially when they added moves that cannot be done in T6BR. Too bad Bruce was replaced by Josie and Fuckemram
I was about to type something similar. Yeah, what the hell happened to releasing characters like Bruce? His design is somehow simple yet cool and memorable. Jizzie and that gross tattoo monster are worthless.
If they ever bring back Bruce nerfs or buffs I'm playing him like I play Kazuya. I remember these combos in Tag2 also Bruce is and still a goat I even miss OG Raven
@@UltimateBallaPOM I mean, he really ties well into Tekken’s story, being the right hand man for Kaz, seriously. Does Josie have anything story related? Maybe Fahkumram can have something related with the zaibatsu in the future. I like Bruce more than these two
I just thought about something. Cause let's be real, they put Josie in for fan service. What if she was actually Bruce's Sister, or Girlfriend or Student. Cause as we Know Bruce showed. A soft side of helping and motivating a kid when he was beat down. So why not make her someone Bruce inspired?. Giving her some of he moves but she still feels like her own character. Sorta like Hwoarang And Baek
That last hit of f31, db214 wall combo also can be slightly delayed for 70% scaling and more damage. Thats 2 low wall hits on 1 wall combo🥲. And these combos weren't that close to optimal, guy probably had the most damaging everything in the game(punishes and combos)
Jeez how I miss my boi Bruce. He really brought a touch of martial authenticity with his muay thai style; he was both a blast to play, and an enjoyment to watch. Really pissed they cancelled him over a crying teenage girl.
This character was replaced 3 fucking times… Twice in the same game when 2/3 of his replacements are inferior to him in every which way. Such a shame… Bruce for Tekken 8!
Idk who started the opinion of Bruce being "boring" but his stances and some of his execution are what made him unique in general. Kinda sad that his concept is separated into bits and pieces to either Josie, Fahkumram, or Azucena. Fahkumram being the most interesting. The females just feel extremely gimmicky and boring imo. No this isn't me being sexist, lol.
I wasn't that great at Tekken back whe Bruce was in the game and didn't know much of his moves but seeing how much of it carried over to Josie... we're never getting him in T7 LMAO Josie is my most hated character ever too, hope we get Bruce in T8 at least
Bruce Irvin Season 5 The Return of the nightmare ? Or too late? What are your guys thoughts? Bruce Irvin is a sick asfck Character the fact that Josie ? Was in T7 over Bruce?? fahk? Man I’d trade those 2 over Bruce in heartbeat
Nah more like Josie is a female version of Bruce. Bruce was the original and is Mui Tai style. Josie is like new age Hollywood movie that ran out of ideas and just rips off from the original only to be more trash.
Say, is his movement good? I ask Because josie have godlike punishment but her movement sucks so kinda hard to capitalize on it. I never got to play tekken 6 properly so i wouldnt know.
he is just so cool lol. now we have josie and fahk. the first being quite an annoying character in terms of "personality" and the latter being very ugly and big..
They are more specialized interesting character archetypes than Bruce though. Fahkumram with range and pressure, and Josie with frame traps and evasion. Of course I still like Bruce too though as the original kickboxer. Let's wait for T8 story mode to actually show off the new characters a bit before we can say definitively that they suck. I mean Josie probably does but I still see potential in fahk. His backstory is very interesting, plus every character is too muscular in this game so maybe he'll be toned down there as well.
No idea why Josie replaced him , on a story perspective she has no influence in tekken 7 , she's not a popular character by any means neither.. We NEED Bruce back
We really went from I'm your worst nightmare to oh gosh I'm getting nervous
true
I wish she got more of his moved, they were so lazy some of her animations still look decent but Bruce's animations were god tier

ok😊
It's weird but they always tried to replace him even as far back as Tekken 3.
He had as much right to be in Tk7 as Jin, Nina, Alisa, Eddy, Lars, Kazuya and Anna.
Why is he the only character from the whole Zaibatsu VS. G-Corporation feud from Tekken 6 absent?

Well said
Bro Bruce will forever be the man I wish Bruce Irvin was dropping down that Helicopter over Fahk tbh
They replaced bruce with josie lol. You can clearly see identical moves reused for thay bitch
@@dogeeee606 Not all of the moves. I've used Bruce for years, so I know.
Even the person who doesn't play Bruce still love him I believe he is the most lovely character in tekken series
true
Yeah he's one of the few I actually just enjoy seeing because hes just a cool dude
Bruce has always been an epic character. Ignore the clowns and trolls who claim "Bruce is boring". Bruce is amazing!
Bruce Irvin is my 2nd favorite character in the " Tekken " universe " so yeah, F them !
If he come back in " Tekken 8 ", he's the 2nd character i'll play the most. I could only imagine how strong he can be seeing how characters like Law, Nina and Jun are SS tier 😳 !
Bruce is damn strong back in t6br. Good punishers and range. And his juggle damage, my goodness.
An absolute Beast
Isn't he like top 10

yes... hopefully 😢
@@mwkan772 I'm glad they had brought him back for Tekken Mobile though and his rage art was epic.
Same here brother 🔥
Oh yeah, my boy Bruce HAD game in T6BR~! He was so devastating and fun to play with.

I know hes supposed to be a muay thai guy but some of bruces combos look more like lethwei, super interesting to me. Nice post.
thanks bro
they better bring him back in tekken 8
indeed
Fuck it season 5 bring him? Or to late?
@@Jurico_Noes to late now
I swear, I would love that this guy goes into Tekken 8 instead of crying Josie, or easy mode Fahkumram
he was easy mod too😅
Yeah, but at least he was an Og from way back Tekken, instead we get them ripoffs in Tekken 7
@@luxolars
So it's OK if a character is easy and strong as long as he's a legacy character? :/
@@UltimateBallaPOM I mean, he really ties well into Tekken’s story, being the right hand man for Kaz, seriously. Does Josie have anything story related? Maybe Fahkumram can have something related with the zaibatsu in the future. I like Bruce more than these two
@@UltimateBallaPOM yep. Have you seen Paul phoenix?
B+2 is on my top 3 favorite Tekken moves of all time (that with jet upper and EWGF). It was broken and I loved it
it's impact, damage and animation is so cool
"Black+2"
I just thought about something. Cause let's be real, they put Josie in for fan service. What if she was actually Bruce's Sister, or Girlfriend or Student. Cause as we Know Bruce showed.

My original favorite from way back in Tekken 2.

We need Bruce back in Tekken 8!
true

Jeez how I miss my boi Bruce. He really brought a touch of martial authenticity with his muay thai style; he was both a blast to play, and an enjoyment to watch. Really pissed they cancelled him over a crying teenage girl.
indeed 😢
Kick boxing not Muay Thai
I'm still wondering why they replaced him with Jozie and Fahkumran, he's badass
true
Cause they better characters
@@trashsombra2793 nah both of them are just garbage and do not have the cool factor of Bruce
For josie, they probably wanted a bigger range of female characters while Fahk is more does the traditional Muay Boran
Miss Bruce and forest law 💯
true
*Its a damn shame they refuse to bring back this marvelous, legendary, OG character ,even after years of fans requesting him back smh*
Agree bro , pretty good Chrachter specially in TT1 he was a beast !
This character was replaced 3 fucking times… Twice in the same game when 2/3 of his replacements are inferior to him in every which way. Such a shame… Bruce for Tekken 8!
@Dick Faggotson Bryan! The only good one IMO
Idk who started the opinion of Bruce being "boring" but his stances and some of his execution are what made him unique in general.
Kinda sad that his concept is separated into bits and pieces to either Josie, Fahkumram, or Azucena. Fahkumram being the most interesting. The females just feel extremely gimmicky and boring imo.
No this isn't me being sexist, lol.
The smoothness of T6 was something else
true 😂
ngl, Josie got one sweeter deal with cd3 on counter hit. But other than that, Bruce lived up to be the true nightmare
She don't got Bruce Up forward 3
@Kosorou Gaming Studio Archives
Cause even though I hate facing off against a good Bruce, there is one thing we can all agree on
He's too damn badass.
Bruce was like my OG main next to Feng, AK, Eddy, lei and Wang since he has personality and hits like a truck.
BRING MY BOY BACK HARADA
Ah yes, the infamous "black+two"
I really hope he makes a comeback in tekken 8 because I really don't want fahkumram or Josie.
Almost all of his launchers is 60 to 100 damage
Big guys Worst Nightmare
😂😂
Let's hope Bruce returns in Tekken 8!
So why did we get Josie instead? Seems like a misplay to me. And honestly Bruce could of had some interesting story dynamics with his boss Kazuya.
Idk why they replaced him with josie
Casual Fans (weeaboos) wanted waifus instead of a badass fighter
He was easily top 5 in t6
true
Not to mention his unlockable tech catch
I see 😊
Bring em back, Please.
yes🥺
Bruce in tekken 2 was nasty
0:43 punch parry what is the input of this move ?

I'M YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE (Bruce in tag2)
They should bring Bruce and Ancient ogre back for t8
yes🔥
1:05 i just realized Jose has a similar low
yes
His unblockable could tech catch at the wall as well
I see
Every time ppl ask why he gone, I'ma show em this video
please cover 5.0 (and possibly DR) Roger Jr., he is somehow rated as A-tier character in those games by Koreans
ok
Yeah, very good and unique character)
Roger was definitely strong! Wish he was in T7, or even Alex
It's so weird seeing his d3,4 not immediately transition into stance
yes😭
Josie mains are crying watching this
:(
I personally thought law was really broken in Tekken 6
I'll take a look at him 😊
No wonder pokchop was hella good in tk6 with this character
indeed
Everyone is good with Bruce
Yes finally! My main
😊
Bruce is the Best versión Muay Thai characters, josie is pretty, but Bruce is an other level
indeed
I wish Josie got to keep some of his good stuff, like his +3 low from normal and that b434 thing
yes
And b2.. does she have b2?
@@kevinwilliams8644 her b2 is different. It's a high but +1 on block
she has b434 just a different animation
Great video, can you do one jin and the Mishima characters?😁
I'll try bro
We have Bruce in tekken 7
Tekken7: Josie+Fahkumram
😂
I wasn't that great at Tekken back whe Bruce was in the game and didn't know much of his moves but seeing how much of it carried over to Josie... we're never getting him in T7 LMAO
Josie is my most hated character ever too, hope we get Bruce in T8 at least
Bruce Irvin Season 5 The Return of the nightmare ? Or too late? What are your guys thoughts?
Bruce Irvin is a sick asfck Character the fact that Josie ? Was in T7 over Bruce?? fahk? Man I’d trade those 2 over Bruce in heartbeat
Tekken 7 is already at the end of its lifespan.. Bruce for tekken 8
i think tekken 6 br and psp had different HP's, bc that 78 damage was no close to quarter in psp lol
i belive they replaced bruce with fakumram he has some of his moves and he looks kinda like him but smaller
Bruce was better with cooler animations
If Bruce and Fahkumram were put in the same game who would you pick up and why?
both 😂
Bryan has that 10f punish though, no? Plus Josie inherited it.
yes😊
The 1,4,3,3 string?. but it's not a natural combo. Only the first two hits
Do you play anyone from the US? Would love to mirror match your Paul
No bro.. I get 1 bar with people from the us
Probably won’t see Bruce again since Jaycee and Faukaram are both Muay Thai characters
:(
"prettier than my crush"
😂😂😂😂😂
Korean want bruce return
Why was he not in tekken 7? 😢
I don't know 😭😭
Fahkumram feels like shit before bruce 😢😢😢
Bhai Jo tekken 6 Kiya h waise hi mujhe bata do kaise karna h Bina lag ke please bhai
Why’d they even replace him with josie

I see Josie but male version?
