Here\u2019s what DMX would look like in Tekken 7 DMX, Instagram \/ Bandai NamcoTekken 7 is taking the fighting game community by storm, announcing its third season and introducing a new character at EVO 2019 \u2013 but that isn\u2019t stopping fans from creating their own additions to the cast. EVO 2019 saw the addition of Leroy Smith, a Wing-Chun master with unbeatable style and a mysterious backstory who is set to release later this year. Leroy is already a hit with fans, with many in the Tekken community anticipating his release \u2013 and his inclusion may have inspired a fan concept that is similarly storming the fighting game community. Rapper DMX posed for a series of photos with GQ in late September, donning a series of Matrix-inspired, early-oughts\/sci-fi cinema looks \u2013 one of which seemed perfect for a Tekken fighter. The internet is never slow on the draw to whip up a photoshop, and neither was Brockhampton designer \u201chenocksileshi,\u201d who quickly inserted one of DMX\u2019s looks into the Tekken 7 character select screen. Complete with a slick pair of sunglasses and a python, DMX certainly looks like he could throw down with the rest of Tekken\u2019s cast \u2013 and even trade blows with Leroy Smith. In fact, DMX\u2019s \u201cTekken-inspired\u201d look seems oddly reminiscent of scrapped Street Fighter IV character \u201cKing Cobra,\u201d who was replaced in favor of Rufus \u2013 although we have to imagine his mix of Kung Fu and breakdancing would have been a sight to see. 500DMX wouldn\u2019t be the only rapper to take an interest in Tekken, either, should he respond to the photoshop: music artist T-Pain even cosplayed as Leroy Smith shortly after his EVO reveal, marking a major moment for the FGC in light of one of Tekken\u2019s most hyped original characters yet. Even rapper Snoop Dogg appeared in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, complete with his own stage and a theme song titled \u201cKnocc Em Down.\u201d It\u2019s no secret that rappers seem to love Tekken, and considering T-Pain\u2019s stunning Leroy cosplay, it would come as little surprise if he ended up making a theme song for the character \u2013 nor DMX, for that matter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
