Tekken 8 Director Katsuhiro Harada shot down fan discussions claiming that the developers dislike Anna Williams. Incidentally, Anna is not part of the base Tekken 8 roster, which further added to rumors and fan speculations regarding her status with the devs. While part of the reason is that Anna and Nina are somewhat parallel characters, the two are still completely different, which has prompted the community to discuss the unfair treatment of the former.
