Decided to make a fan video for Angel because I thought she had some cool scenes and deserved love. I hope she gets a redesign with better moves and a more unique approach to her angelic concept while still maintaining her core identity as a symbol of good
Unknown was originally going to be Jun's younger sister, Hitomi "Unknown" Kazama. What do you think of this concept as opposed to Unknown being a sort of Devil Jun alternative? Hitomi might give Jun more lore action after the Mishima conflict.
This was the lowest point in T7's story for me, such a desperate forced attempt at creating nuance for this monster while Kazuya does random evil (this started before T7 but still). Good riddance to Heihachi and the bias Tekken has for him. I hope this foul retcon gets removed
This y'alls ship?
>Kazuya never/rarely ever mentions Jun
>0 Jun endings feature Kazuya
>They only have 2.1 seconds total on-screen time together in the entire MAIN series (Tekken 3 mini intro)
>Shows 0 emotion towards each other in spinoffs
>This is Kazuya's only ending with Jun

Such a waste of an interaction between Xiaoyu and Chun Li like this, was so disappointing and cringe of the writers to make her like this.
@holyknee
She needs it to help make her playstyle viable at higher levels. It's not like butterfly is an automatic punish for her anyway, Xiaoyu is an intense labbing character and her ducking stuff accentuates her demanding playstyle. It's a core part of AOP
It wasn't enough that you homogenized Kazuya and kept stripping him of things that made him unique, now you try to rationalize the abuse he suffered as a child? Changing Kazuya to wanting to avenge his mother instead of for being a child abuse victim makes him less unique as well
The story is so terrible, the only saving grace was Heihachi finally kicking the bucket. Introducing newcomers through DLC is a terrible idea that should never be repeated. No guest should be welcomed into the series while actual Tekken characters are made redundancies.
This is an old video and a fake skit, the fact that you would dig this up thinking it was relevant to her getting hit with a brick shows what a vile human being you are, same goes for all the others scrambling to argue against her.
Welcome to the Mortal Kombat fans interesting in trying out Tekken 8. Hopefully you will get comfortable with the game very soon if you practice in time, I recommend trying out Jun Kazama then.
Making the devil gene act like a reverse Kazama thing to support this disrespectful retcon makes me hate T7 way more but hey at least Hei looks better now right? They should've just kept him as a symbol of pure evil instead of dragging the series down even from a meta perspective
Asuka can't catch a break omg... Reina being so anti Jun is just so forced and cringe like okay we get it you hate Kazuya but don't take it out on her 😭
T8 Unused Dialogues
#1
Data from in game subtitles (credits to Ali)
- Jun vs King -
intro : That mask... Is it real fur?
outro : I was mistaken. It is a very well-made mask...
- Asuka vs Jin -
intro : I've got something special for you today, Jin!
outro : No more starting wars,
Raven's main design is inspired by Wesley Snipes in Blade (1998), and this inspiration seeps into his main outfit(s) consistently. Eddy gets ONE game with a KiIImonger inspired hairstyle, why does the latter cause more of an uproar?
I think the main reason Jin x Hwoarang is popular is because first of all they're both popular and second of all it's one of the few gay tekken ships that doesn't look like a random pair.
Character Popularity infographic for Tekken 8 one week after the official release. (These are numbers from Steam only, Warrior Rank and above. Due to the leaderboards cutting off at 10,000 players this is as best as I can do.)

I hit 100 followers 🥳 thank you all so much. Sometimes it feels like I'm just screaming into the void so it's good to get this kind of recognition even if you don't all interact and I only bring that up because it's important we all get that overtime for a thriving Tekken fandom
Zafina getting a slight identity rework and being overshadowed by Leroy on purpose, Leroy being a broken mess, Ganryu, charging for frame data, another newcomer with a crumb of lore that also should've debuted in a base roster and a mid stage. I hate T7S3.
I would like to see Xiaoyu go through an arc about handling Heihachi's d34th, starting off sad and vengeful but making it unique from similar stories by learning to deal with the fact that he was a bad person and she had a warped perception of him overall and moving on from that.
Kunimitsu shouldn't be in the conversation of "players don't want old women", she is a masked character. You shouldn't even be able to see her face, yet her age still bothers people? Was twisting her body and giving her a half mask in the tag games not enough?
To the people saying this isn't a problem or to just get over it need to learn to be more empathetic. Seeing this kind of thing that explicitly symbolizes racism and oppression can be extremely off putting and traumatic, they don't need this kind of thing ruining their experience
A reminder for everyone:
Heihachi lost his staple status
Kazuya's probably getting whacked by Jun
Ganryu and Lei are scrambling over the last SP2 slot
Conclusion? Every tongue that rises against Michelle Chang shall fall
I don't care if Xiaoyu has like 8 players she's still one of the best character designs in the game and always deserves to come back to the main roster
Great soundtrack, great art design and atmosphere, excellent writing, cool looking stages, iconic character design, good move lists, fun Tekken force mode... I don't care what anyone says this game is awesome
Maybe controversial but I prefer the previous Devil design. The new one is too overdesigned, the horns don't stand out, his hair is a mess and why did they decide to go against the concept of Kazuya and Devil being different people only to make this version look less like Kazuya?
Usage Rate isn't everything, developers also consider these factors to make characters return
- Country Representative
- Story Related
- Uniqueness
Not everyone needs to be popular, fighting games should have those characters who attract to niche fan base.
@ArmorKingTV21
Maybe, her name (Unknown not Hitomi) was among the rest found in the list of narrator voice lines for T4 but iirc since they decided to save Jun for lore significance, Unknown must've been out of the question for T5 and the 2004 part might've just been in line with when it posted
