Bob (Tekken)
Bob (Japanese: ボブ Hepburn: Bobu?) (Full name: Robert Richards (ロバート・リチャーズ Robāto Richāzu?)) is a fictional character from the Tekken fighting game series released by Namco Bandai Games. Bob was introduced in Tekken 6 (2007), and he has returned for all other subsequent games. Bob is a renowned martial arts prodigy from the USA. An alternate version of himself named Slim Bob is playable in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (2011). Slim Bob is, as the name suggests, a skinny version of Bob who made an appearance in his Tekken 6 ending.
A once charming and slim fighter, Bob participated in numerous tournaments and was not only beloved by the fans but also by the spotlight. With immeasurable speed, Bob's only flaw was his lack of power, causing him to suffer greatly when fighting against opponents heavier and larger than himself. Determined to triumph, Bob increased his body mass by fattening himself, all the while making sure that he would not lose his speed in the process. After successfully reforming, Bob made a surprise reappearance in a recent martial arts tournament, dubbing himself as "the perfect combination of speed and weight". The crowd however, did not see eye to eye with Bob, and simply thought of his current appearance as someone who was a shadow of his former self. Not to be affected by such rumors, Bob immediately entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to return to the spotlight and prove that his combination would be supreme.
Bob also appears in Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tekken Revolution, as well as in Capcom-made crossover fighting game Street Fighter X Tekken, with Julia Chang as his official tag partner. His alternate Costume is modeled after Ryu. It gives him Ryu's bandana, gloves, white belt and karate gi where the upper part is white and the lower is black. According to the download blurb, Bob was impressed by Ryu's never-ending dedication to the fight. He decided to pay the original world warrior his respects with a special outfit.
Slim Bob (スリムボブ Surimubobu?) is an alternate version of Bob, playable in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. As the name suggests, he is a skinny version of Bob who first made an appearance in his Tekken 6 ending. Slim Bob made his playable debut as one of the DLC characters for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, released on October 9, 2012. Bob became famous after winning The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 6. He was seemingly showered with never-ending popularity, with interviews that came day or night. Without noticing, he became slimmer. The Slim Bob was shown in a weight room measuring his weight. Only reaching around 70 kg (154 lbs), he became frustrated. Unsatisfied with the results, he stepped back on. But, the scale showed the same results. Even more infuriated, he started to beat his head against the wall, and then became exhausted and lay down. Slim Bob has a similar fighting style with his obese counterpart, with an almost identical move-list and slightly different range-some of his moves that require a relatively large weight have changed. He often complains that he does not have enough weight. He is depicted as a skinny version of Bob who wears red nylon-hooded jacket and red pants with blue gloves and blue sneakers.
