Are we sure that preview was canon? Paul had the upper hand on Bryan if that's the case. I'm not disagreeing, just wondering
Bryan is uppermidtier mostly. he has great feats but he never really did much in any tournament, let alone win or come close to winning. Paul went til the semis in T1, semis in T2, practically won the thing in T3. remember that he was UNDEFEATED in T3....a tournament that had Bryan, Jin, Heihachi, Hworang and other tough fighters.
So says the man who faps over any conceivable chance to discredit SFer so much he can fill a supertanker or 10
Seriously though, E.Ryu or current Ryu both have feats over Paul, breaking boulders? hows about lifting them.
Gouki beats out any Devil in the feats department, and Ryu hung with him, (Beat him more than once, which is better than anyone elses record against Gouki)...
the devils really don't get even a quarter of the screen time that Akuma has gotten over the years. what little we've seen of them, however, makes them insane.
-Devil Kazuya was able to smack and oneshot Heihachi in T4 with just a glare of his eyes...makes you wonder how powerful the beam is.
-Devil Jin was able to crush and destroy bob's bike without effort
-and remained immune to burning fuel and the explosion and didn't evne flinch
-Devil jin wrecked up a huge part of the forest
-healing factor: jin got shot like phuck in T3 but had not a single scratch on him 3 seconds later because of he turned into Devil Jin
-Jinpachi Mishima actually was a threat to all existence on earth....something akuma can't even hold a candle to

why not. Paul's always been a higher tier than Bryan anyway. not to mention that Paul actually has been able to tango and (very possibly defeat) Heihachi and pre-fullyawakened-devil-powers Jin in T3, pwned Ogre and had a stalemate with Kazuya in T1 and (according to one Jun fansite) defeated Jun in T2 as well. the man's a toptier since T1.Bryan is uppermidtier mostly. he has great feats but he never really did much in any tournament, let alone win or come close to winning.

I've always maintained that Paul is one of the more powerful fighters in Tekken canon and I don't have a problem with him beating Bryan. I'm saying that we don't know if that little preview was actually canon material, or if it was just a graphical display. Fighting games, games in general really, have been known to showcase new graphics by simply having characters give a little demo. I just don't think we should start mentioning those feats yet.
btw, long time no see dude. where ya been? 🙂

Not sure if this was mentioned. Paul and Bryan created a lite version of the force by Jin and Kazuya in one of the BR trailers. The following shows Paul pretty much beating up Bryan Fury, a person who doesn't get impacted as much by machine gun power or a tank assault. Then it shows Paul and Fury's punches stalemating considering Bryan can toss the top part of a tank for about a hundred yards.
-Edit- Oh, I guess it was brought up but not discussed in detail.
Not canon? I don't remember Namco ever introducing something in a trailer for an upcoming game that wasn't canon, at least not for Tekken.
As for the JinvsKaz part, why would it not be canon? The fact Jin and Kazuya will be facing off is a given. They're the leaders of the opposing organizations and the trailer(s) all hint that they will fight each other. Heihachi wants revenge. 'Nuff said.
Then there's the fact that even if it isn't, thread maker can allow it as he or she pleases.

maybe, but i feel that Namco wouldn't go out of their way to show stuff their character can't actually do just to show new graphics. i think they establish tiers or at least hint at tiers through those anyway. like Jin>Lee and Xiao>Nina back in the TTT days or stuff like that.
oh and needless to say, whatever they showed in that add doesn't really negate anything either.btw, long time no see dude. where ya been? 🙂

Nowhere special really. I just don't get as deeply involved in these threads as much. I do miss the old days though. *Reminisces*

True, but he didn't specify. Typically, we'd stick to canon unless otherwise stated.
...that makes little sense...and it seems you forgot the reason you made this thread. 😛
I'm saying Namco has not released non-canon stuff for their trailers for Tekken, ever. They only used part of intro sequences in their trailers, so there's no reason to think that for their 5th (or 6th) project they're going to show non-canon material. I know it's a guess, but a much greater guess than thinking it'll be part of a person's non-canon ending...
So it's allowed regardless? Paul undeniably has the edge as of this point. I guess SFIV didn't add enough to Ken's list, if it did anything.
what are evil ryu's feats? 🙄
bullets bounce off his chest? great. they do the same for Bryan.
he can cause little earthquakes with a power up? great. Kazuya and Heihachi shake the ground with their stomps. Ogre shook the entire planet with a power up. Jin and Kaz practically levitated the ground just getting in the position of throwing a punch, shattered the entire glass off the building with the force of their blows that didn't even connect.
please, Evil Ryu is more overrated than Ryu..............and i didn't think that was possible 😐
