Looks pretty awesome!

The past few Tekken games haven't been dubbed, right? I only ask because I think it would be neat if they used some of the VA's from Bloodlines.

Since Tekken 6, I believe, the Tekken games have been what I call "Naturally" dubbed. Meaning that each character is voiced in the language of the country they come from in game (with a few exceptions).

Ex:
Jin, Heihachi, Kazuya, Xiaoyu (because of her upbringing), and Asuka speak Japanese
Lilli speaks French
Eddy speaks Portugese
Miguel speaks Spanish
Hworang speaks Korean
King...growls (but its translated)
Raven, Nina, Steve, Paul, Lei, Julia, and Law speak English

The english speaking characters already have VAs. So it would be weird to recast them just to fit that show.
