Bandai Namco Games is preparing to release Tekken 7 in Japanese arcades on February 18, and it's been said that the upcoming fighting game would be getting a global launch sometime this March.

Game Director Katsuhiro Harada added quite a few colorful characters to the cast of fighters, including the divisive Lucky Chloe, and a very well-received Arabic fighter, Shaheen.

The Tekken 7 website has recently opened its gates to visitors, further informing that the game will launch with 20 playable characters, namely Claudio, Katarina, Lucky Chloe, Shaheen, Kazuya, Heihachi, Lars, Asuka, Lili, Alisa, Xiaoyu, Feng, Paul, Marshall Law, Steve, Leo, Hwoarang, King, Dragunov, and Bryan.

In case you can't wait till the game goes live and don't know what to do to sate your thirst for everything that is Tekken-related, you can watch the video below, showing a funny live-action battle enacted in the style of the game, featuring the mad kicking machine Hwoarang going against Bruce.

Probably the best thing about the video is that the two athletes tried to stay true to the game as far as the characters' moves go, and it even features in-game sounds for added effect. Unfortunately, it doesn't have Bruce's dreadlock mohawk.
