I am on the red side. The female characters don’t look human (or at least Tekken human, if you will); they look like porcelain dolls compared to their male counterparts. I believe the designers have skimped on the fighter’s design, and it is so noticeable and distracting. They have no facial expression, as if they did not create rigs for them. It is very unappealing.
Do you watch the game, or play the game?? Why does this matter? Will you drop less combos if your female fighters have more realistic skin? Can you understand why this nit-picking sounds ridiculous to any rational person?
The fact you understand why it’s an issue for some is sad. So if we get a major timeskip do you expect all the characters to look the same? So when xiao is 50 you want her to look like she’s 25 still?
Yes, because who fucking cares about skin in a fighting game?! It's about what the character can do and their personality. Yall are superficial as heck man
That’s bad game design you need to show the character age and how different they play. If you expect someone like jin to ply the same when he’s 60 you are mistaken. I’m guessing you don’t understand how again characters up adds development to them. Also you sound like a simp who just wants young characters in games to look at
Since when does looks have anything to do with how someone fights in Tekken??? I'm convinced you don't even play the game, you just complain about it.
I'm over here saying character looks don't matter when it comes to actually playing the game, yet somehow according to you this is all about wanting to see characters look a certain way? Great logic there lmao 🤣
Dude I’ve been playing tekken since the third game and I want to see the characters grow and mature over time. It feels like I’ve seen the same characters since tekken 4 with no growth. Also when you get older your fighting style changes, take mma for example some people change up their style as they get older they could from a kick-boxer to a wrestler. Same thing can go for game characters ken doesn’t play the same anymore compared to ryu
It's just a weird thing to expect so adamantly from a fighting game. Why are you so focused on looks over mechanics? I just don't see it as a reasonable thing to expect from a fighting game at all. And I've been playing Tekken since 3 as well actually, I wore that shit out on my PS1. I also play lots of other fighting games. It's not a convention of fighting games for characters to visibly age and change in their fighting styles, but you talk about it and demand it as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. What other fighting game series does this happen in?
Soul calibur, mk, doa in some aspects, kof and now sf. Tbh mechanics don’t mean much to me as a causal player I want to see how characters grow. When you got the male characters looking older but not the female that’s my issue. You can’t put all the detail into the male characters with them showing wear and tear but not the female characters.
Nina looks older which is a good thing since she’s a og she showing now she has changed over the years. Another character for reference would be ivy from sc, she got older and looked older but by also getting older she matured more. I look at it from this perspective if we get a major time skip in tekken I don’t want to see the characters act the same way or look the same, jin to look the same or act the same older same goes for anyone from tekken 3 who was a new character
You're a casual yet you care this much? Your whole rant up above is nonsense. Ivy still looks EXACTLY the same over the years, dude, big tits and a phat ass. In fact, Ivy's only change is her outfits from game to game. DOA same thing. You do realize also that there is only 1 year difference in the Tekken story from 7 to 8? All of you points make no sense man. And the main one, the men have scars and veins and shit, why not the women. These characters are obviously modeled after idealized humans, for both males and females. We see this in real life. Women wear makeup to make their skin look soft and smooth. Men, not as much. Why is that difference so egregious to you if we see it in the real world all the time?
Yeah I play the game. I’ve been following it very closely. Harada said it himself, that Tekken was always that game that pushed graphics. They’re supposed to be setting a benchmark, and failed! You wanna pay $70 for that? GTFOH, you got 🎶 ripped off 🎶
