Posted by SFilp

The guys over at Did You Know Gaming have been doing a daily release of interesting and not widely known facts about various games. In particular, they recently noted a secret character for Tekken 3 named "Sake."

In the past, Harada-san has gone on record stating Sake was supposed to be a salmon. Noting that no matter what button you pressed, the salmon would simply flop around doing nothing else.

Additionally, Harada once again confirmed this on Twitter just a few days ago.

It's true

He would have been the ultimate troll character.

This also reminds me of that Tekken 3 milk commercial that had Lovely the Cow as a playable character lol

Here's a link to that vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nceIY...

Namco, afraid of angering their customers by making a useless character that does nothing. Capcom, adds "Mega Man", Pacman, and two cats. I love SFxT but that difference.

@7 Well in the arcades you would have to pay each time to use that character whereas SFxT is on console so it's really only the one time you pay for the other characters and some bonus characters. That said, Sake should have somehow made it into the console version of the game.

Glad they cut it...there's nothing especially clever or funny about that.

i agree with Freyzii #7 completely all of the guest characters expect Cole are useless, they could of used these character slots for characters that matter like the yin yang twins jun angel evil ryu or devil jin/kaz etc etc

They should have added Sake as an accessory item. Just have it flip around if used. Like one of the demon skull but you throw it on the ground and it just flops around the stage for the rest of the fight.
