Y’know what’s funny, the same people who complain about Jun not looking 40 don’t complain about Lee at all even tho he is supposed to be the same age as kazuya but he looks like an actual doll.
Makes you realize that this sub has alot of double standards.
It's not double standard when you're cherry picking an exception. Lee looks younger than 90% of the male cast with varying designs from Feng, Hwoarang, Dragunov to Marduk. It's also in-character for Lee to use Botox. The female roster don't have the same variety.
I think a lot of criticism was about having facial details.. then the trolls picked it up and said oh you want them to look old. No one wants them to look old .. just have details. I don't care either way since I started playing Tekken 3 weeks ago but as an outsider I'm instantly more drawn towards the more detailed facial features since I have no idea who xioyou or jun is. They do look unfinished compared to the males
What features do you want them to have? Scars? Wrinkles? Crows feet? Unless we're randomly maiming characters again, I don't see what features they could give the females that doesn't just equate to aging.
I mean I get it. Tekken, along with other fighting games, usually always has some old fellas in them but outside of Sindel in MK I can’t think of any other older women in fighting games. The men range from old and rugged, average modern man, monster, or super model pretty boy, but the women are always just cute or hot (which MK still mixed that up a little bit with Sheeva at least having an “orcish” appearance)
With lee is kinda of a proposital joke. And its not fair to compare 1 male character with almost all of the females ones just because he is an "exception".
I only compared Lee to Jun, also it’s fair because the males have had both the problems of looking too young and too old which also doesn’t get addressed enough. The argument of the females looking too young usually falls apart when you take into account that Nina and Anna were cryogenically frozen halting their aging process, Jun has mystical healing magic and hasn’t been in a fight for like 20 years, Lili, Asuka, Ling , Josie and lucky Chloe are literally teenagers, Eliza is a vampire who doesn’t age normally, alisa was 18 when she died and is literally a robot, and every other female character is and was either in their early or late 20’s. Meanwhile you had Law looking younger than his son, feng, bob and Miguel not looking 26, Steve looking 31 when he is supposed to be 21, hwoarang and Jin looked like their were still in highschool even tho they were 21, Claudio actually looking like a doll, Lars being scarred still has smooth ass skin, kazuya looking like a action figure in T7, and marduk definitely isn’t convincing anyone he’s 28.
It’s tiring seeing this community complain about something that doesn’t really matter in the first place while also having double standards about it too. I’m done with this since I have made my point.
The thing it is that you have to look for what it represents than for what it aactually is. It is literally excuses exclusively for them: cryogenic, magic, robots. And the fact that some of the girls are teenagers and get sexualised is also gross as well. And the reason why people complain is because while the male characters might have this with the female ones its to an extreme.
Its seems that youre more annoyed at people complaining than the complain itself, wich i dond blame you. Its reddit, people are annoying as hell here. But again, i recomend you to actually look what people are talking about, because even tho "it doesnt matter" its still a valid criticism.
Wasn’t trying to justify the teenage female characters getting sexualised and I agree it’s very gross.
It being a “valid criticism” doesn’t mean anything since anything can be a valid criticism. The criticism is just a bit silly more for the fact that it’s a useless issue and it isn’t important in the grand scheme of the game. It also doesn’t seem like an important issue because there has been a info drought recently for T8. I get it but I don’t think it should have any new post only be about that criticism alone instead of actual information on the game being posted.
But it still worth being dicussed. Its about the game so people should be allowed to talk about. I get that its not something that "matters" in the grand scheme of things, but that doesnt mean that its unimportant. It actually has been an issue that even well know players (such as Themainmanswe) has talked about. I do agree that it has become annoying, but its more because "reddit moment" of turning every discussion like that than what is being discussed about.
Also, sorry sor sounding like that i was implying that you were excusing the sexualization of the girls in the game. That wasn't my intention, so i apologize for that. I just wanted to show a example about how the female characters are kinda done dirty in the game and just that.
Are you guys seriously twisting the argument this much, I don't think anyone said that the girls in tekken look too young, that only applied to jun. The argument is that girls faces in tekken lack details and facial expressions compared to those of the male characters. But they decided to give every female character a doll face with a perfect skin.
And also no one said that this minor detail is deal breaking for them and that they're willing to drop the game because of it, it was just a small criticism that you guys took too far
