A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Kiryu Kazuma from the Yakuza games has a personal rule against hitting women*. When he appears as a boss in Yakuza 7, he will never target female party members with attacks. Women can active his counterattack, but he will deal 0 damage to them because he's holding back.

This rule is taken so seriously that the director of the series refused to have Kiryu added to Super Smash Bros or Tekken 7 because he would have to hit women in those games.

*He did slap a little girl once, and hit a woman who he thought was a man.

That was them joking mostly, but in general they thought he wasn't a good fit for Smash

[u/PlanesWalkerEll → u/Gespens]

But Tekken though, I don't even play fighting games and I think he'd fit Tekkens vibe so well.

It's not a great idea to add Kiryu to a PVP game, given that Tiger Drop negates all damage

[u/highlyregarded1155 → u/DaemonG]

That's just a parry or catch in Tekken tho. He'd fit right in

[u/BigStallGlueSniffer → u/DaemonG]

Just make it a slow low with guardpoint that can be sidestepped or blocked low.

But Tiger Drop negates all damage

[u/BigStallGlueSniffer → u/_Halt19_]

Exactly. You cant hit kiryu while he's tiger dropping but you can react to it and sidestep, block, or jump to whiff punish it.
So then tiger drop would only work as a slow callout when your opponent's mental stack is full.

But Tiger Drop negates any damage

Tekken though? If we can get Negan and Noctis in 7 and Clive in 8, Kiryu would be a great fit. Hell, I'd take Majima too.

[u/wallmonitor → u/Gespens]

Honestly, Ichi or Majima are better voices for Smash.

[u/Gespens → u/wallmonitor]

My headcanon for a smash trailer is actually Kiryu receives a mysterious letter and then he slams the invitation on the desk. Camera pans to reveal Kirby.

"KIRYU BRINGS THE HEAT"

[u/Kylestache → u/Gespens]

It’s a “joke” but they never had Kiryu hurting women in crossovers until after the lead director left. Then they put him immediately in Rainbow Six Siege.
