I was called a deranged conspiracy theorist for saying Tekken 8 characters have little chest size variety—and when they do, it’s tamer than past games. Then we were told to “trust the director” when he said, “No ESG rules here, I’m fully independent!” Time always proves you right

>>717120184 (OP)
Why are the females in Tekken so weirdly designed?
Those giant shoulders look disgusting

Why did asuka go from a pretty but tomboy japanese girl to a hulking asian gorilla woman

>>717120184 (OP)
>Time always proves you right
what happened?
i haven't been following tekken 8 at all

>>717120276
>>717120184 (OP)
Having never played tekken: my guess is that they have a base model which is male and then everything else is tweaked. That is clearly a DUDE's shoulders with a girl's head plopped on top.

>>717120184 (OP)
Tekken was never good

>>717120441
tekken 3 was fun

>>717120184 (OP)
The only thing fighting games have ever had going for them is sexy broads.
Besides that it's a completely moribund, stagnant genre.

>>717120419
They have been reusing the same exact animations since the original game for the original Playstation, even with retarded shit like their necks and spines snapping, so yeah, have to go with just laziness.

>>717120441
T5DR is better than your favourite fighting game.

wow not surprised

What makes it so good?
I played through the basic story mode last week and wasn't too impressed.

>>717121074
It was pretty impressive for the time, having a full playable portable Tekken that replicated the original very well at the time was awesome, remember that beforehand we only really had stuff like pic related to play Tekken on the bus or whatnot. That, and Tekken 5 is one of the better entries iirc.

>>717120276
Laziness, they don't want to rig new models

>>717120419
They got lazy with asuka after tag 2 where she started to look progressively worse. t7 is where the game became a true asset flip that made tekken revolution look higher effort in looks. It was also the last tekken game on it's engine.

>>717121295
Tekken Advance is impressive too for feeling ok with two buttons and having some of the best ported music I've ever heard to a gba that still sounds like the original tracks.

>>717120363
she's angling her shoulders forward in this pic you retarded mongoloid

>>717120874
>>717121074
way I see it, Tekken 5 was Tekken 3 but better. It stood true to Tekken 3's style (unlike 4) while also improving on it massively. It took the perfect Tekken and made it even better for the next generation. Look at what came after. Look at Tekken 6, it was the patient zero for the cancer Tekken became later. Endless fucking juggles and wall carries, one match costing you almost all your health bar, stupidly overdesigned anime-looking characters compared to the earlier, simpler character designs that just worked.
real Tekken should be about well placed attacks, precise like a surgeon. not what 6 and 7 did.

>>717122159
one mistake costing you almost all your health bar*
sorry.

It legit looks like a tranny

>>717122497
>ambitious, tried to do its own thing
>nobody actually liked it
>ended up ruining more than it fixed
it T4 the Dark Souls 2 of Tekken? kek

>>717122497
T4 will always be the aesthetic peak of the series without question. The best graphically too in my opinion.

>>717122604
I'm a street fighter fag at heart and tekken 4 is the only one I like. Just like how dark souls 2 fags only like dark souls 2 and not 1 or 3. So it checks out

>>717122605
Without question

>>717122324
tekken really can't do female bodies lol, it's like they just made a gears of war character thinner in unreal engine

>>717120184 (OP)
Tekken devs are lazy, more on this at 11

>>717122706
well said.
cheers anon

>>717120184 (OP)
has anyone posted this shit to harada?
i doubt he hasn't seen this, but i'm still curious if he defends shemale asuka

>>717120184 (OP)
even abby's shoulders and arms look better than hers. wtf were they thinking?

>>717120276
they especially fucked up Asuka by removing her neck so she looks extra wide

>>717120184 (OP)
I think it's just the nobody cares bout Tekken 8 I bought it and sold it I'll go back to playing tag instead

>>717123376
He's checked out from the franchise since 7. He said on Twitter how they'll be moving community interaction to some discord server or some shit. None of the devs in the DLC team for T8 are part of the base game team.
He'll probably retire soon. He does not give a shit.

>>717123526
Only decent thing to come out of that shitshow was Reina who was cute, but everything else was ass and when they broke the meta it died.

>>717123708
good thing i didn't fall for 8
or any latest fighting sequel
SF6, MK and Tekken have all been utter disappointment

>>717123813
dark times

>>717120184 (OP)

OP i know you are correct that Asuka body looks horrible on Tekken 8. But why you are quoting a Twitter faggot?!

>>717124124
>>717120184 (OP)
Holy shit fucking kill yourself OP

>>717122138
this has to be bait

Christ, 8's been a fucking disaster so far. They should consider ditching it after S2 is over.

>>717125816
Agreed. Probably the fastest I've checked out of a Tekken game (80 hrs compared to like 1k in T7 and well 24/7 in T3 back in college).
It's not just an unbalanced shitshow (especially the new meter mechanic), but the infinitely dumbed down customization, all the lying and the predatory monetization were the last straw.
Maybe they'll get their shit together for Tag 3 but I have literally 0 hopes after T8.

>>717125816
>>717126804
nobody would care if the women were hot
but they aren't, so the other flaws are more glaring

>>717127524
Why is the average 4tran poster so shallow?

>>717127626
cause that's the mentality of the average gamer
we used to look past errors and bugs as long as the game was an eye candy

>>717120276
Their proportions are just fucked. Hands bigger than their heads and feet twice as large. Giant square shoulders. No definition or detail on their skin of any kind. And if you can believe it, the women are actually better proportioned than the men who are all just gross hulking monstrosities of roids.

>>717120276
I think its because those animations & rigging skeletons were made for lower poly models, if they wanted them to look accurate to the concept art theyd have to make brand new animations from scratch. I wanna say its that, but I could be wrong. iirc Soul Calibur alos reused animations from the 6th gen era and some of the models looked fine.

>>717120184 (OP)
Look at those broad shoulders
