You're right, that shade of purple makes her a COMPLETELY different character.
Also, I love how your comment over backstory having nothing to do with character design still can't stop you from using nothing but to try and create differences. Please stick with one set of arguments. Doesn't help that Sarah was also an assassin that sometimes works with and sometimes fights against her sibling.Why would people name later similarities after the ripoffs? I also await your actual response as to why the man dressed in nothing but white pants with red gloves is a totally different design from the man dressed in white pants with red gloves and matching shirt. I imagine it will have something to do with the way RP responds.And if Kazuya is just Ryu without a shirt, why aren't people referring to that as the "Kazuya Costume"?
Because Tekken 6 is the first fighting game that ever built off elements from other fighting games!
Then they need to get more people playing it! But then again we have seen what happens when Sega tries to make a game franchise more "interesting".... poor Sonic.

Has it been brought up yet that Tekken is one of the few game series where characters actually speak the language of the country they're from and not just English or Japanese? It'd be cool to see if Namco would do that for TxSF.

ultimate showdown
Nina and Sarah are both blond haired females. In the early days they both wore their hair in ponytails (it was hard to do long hairstyles in the early days of 3D, so most of the time girls had ponytails). Both of them have halter tops. Sarah is wearing pants, a belt, boots, and racing gloves. Nina is wearing long stockings, high heels, and some kind of arm stockings. Purple and blue are different colors! (and I'm pretty sure Sarah wore black in her original design) By your logic, any 2 Japanese characters in any game are pretty much the same person since they both have black hair. Do you think PAUL PHOENIX and Ken Masters are the same dude since they both have blond hair and red Gis as one of their costumes?

Even with similar outfits, those dudes look the same to you, really? And that's completely discounting all of Kazs other costumes, which is how he's usually depicted.
And how the hell would you know the Sarah story without going to wikipedia? The only VF game with any kind of endings or cutscenes is VF Kids. Nina has had 8 games worth of ending cutscenes, is involved in many other characters endings, and had a whole (terrible) game to herself to flesh out her story.
That's the thing with Tekken characters... even if one outfit is a rip-off, they have several more that are often unique... and change from game to game.
It's so funny to see people talk about these characters like they've just never taken more than a second look at them over the last 15 years of games... like Itagaki spread a virus or something, lol
Tekken-haters are coming to terms with ideas like "Welp, I may have to figure out how to fight a bear."

wow this thread got mighty stupid mighty fast
here let me finish this dumb argument: in fighting games, everything is ripped off from everything else and there hasn't been an original idea since at least 1998
edit: not 1998, probably 2002/2003 when virtua fighter 4 came out and introduced character customization
Rock n Roll. People hit people.
Seriously, shut the fuck up, fight people with fists in video games, don't attack our brains with this inane horse shit.
