[edit] Introduction
Bob is known as a genius of martial arts. Bob's appearance is a heavy blond white man with a slight goatee. Bob's first outfit consists of a red shirt with brown buttons and a yellow emblem featuring an insect of some sort holding something on it, brown suspenders, blue striped pants, black gloves, and black shoes. His second outfit consists of dark blue jeans, a matching jacket, a white shirt with red designs all over it, brown gloves, and brown shoes. His third outfit, shown in some Tekken 6 videos and an Arcadia Dec. 2007 scan ([2]) (full-size version), Bob is shown wearing a blue and white hooded jacket with black pants, with brown shoes and brown gloves. Only two specific things have been confirmed about his movelist. Bob has a Mishima style wavedash, and Bob can juggle off his d/f+1+2 throw ([3]).
[edit] Trivia
- Bob's stance is similar to Jin Kazama's Tekken 5 stance ([4]).
- Bob was shown wearing a third outfit in a video for Tekken 6 ([5]). It consists of black pants and a blue and white hooded jacket.
- In the Tekken 6 arcade opening, Bob is shown being ambushed by some men ([6]).
- The character concept for Bob was derived from the 1989 martial arts film "Qun Long Xi Feng" [or "The Pedicab Driver"].
- Because some people had found similarities between Bob's moves, as seen in the released images of him, and the moves used by other Tekken characters, some people speculated about Bob possibly being similar to Mokujin, Tetsujin, Unknown, and Combot (mimicking the moves of others). However, his official profile page states that he practices "freestyle karate".
[edit] Story
Bob was known as a genius of Martial Arts and widely popular for his handsome face and fit body. However, after being unable to beat opponents larger and heavier than himself, he disappeared from the fighting scene, determined to increase his own weight and power, while still maintaining his speed, so that he could return victorious.
After several years of remodeling his body, he returns to fight again. His former fans were stunned by his new looks and were unable to take him seriously anymore. Bob himself felt comfortable with his new physique, and wanting to test it out, he enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6.
