Robert Richards (Bob) from Tekken 6 (2007) is a martial arts legend in America. Bob becomes obese in order to increase his strength and defeat larger opponents. He still maintains his speed, accuracy, and discipline. Because he has become so obese many of his fans lose their faith in him, but he enters the Iron Fist Tournament to show the world that he is still a great fighter. He is a great example to people who do not fit into the so called "ideal body size".
Leo Kliesen from Tekken 6 (2007) still has Tekken fans puzzled about the character’s gender and sexual orientation. Leo’s father was a world famous spelunker and Leo’s mother was an executive at the G Corporation. Sadly Leo’s father goes missing during an expedition and Leo’s mother gets killed by an unknown assassin. Leo soon realizes that the G Corporation is behind it and enters the Iron Fists Tournament to face the man in charge of the corporation and get revenge. The designers of the game purposefully left the gender and sexual orientation of the character unclear. Is this like Samus from Metroid (1986), to show that is does not matter what someone’s gender or sexual orientation is as long as they are a great character? Were they afraid that the character might not be well received if players knew the sexual orientation of the character? Well it doesn't matter to me. Leo is a great character and one heck of a fighter. I have destroyed many opponents online with Leo.
