>newly-introduced dark-skinned female fighter faces huge backlash again

When do the devs learn?

Shes getting backlash because she looks nothing like her concept art and tekken females look like dogshit

Other than the nose shape there's really not that much difference. Do people really not understand you can't copy a 2D drawing into 3D in an exact 1:1 ratio? She looks close enough, plus it's concept art, not finished design art.

>>717723930
She actually looks ethnic in the concept

>>717723773 (OP)
We need to acknowledge that there are serious problems with racism in the gaming community

>>717723773 (OP)
One on the left looks like one of those hapa looking characters from DOA or something.
She has Asian/European features but no African features except the skin tone and even it's too light for a full African person,

>>717723930
She's entirely lightened up, the black hair is brown, the lips are pink the skin is several shades brighter.
They essentially just race swapped her

>>717724127
god, goth niggas are so cringe.

>character repping Malaysia and an esoteric fighting style is well received by Malaysians
>only people screeching are degenerates in first world countries
There is no "backlash," just the typical evil freaks seeking attention.

>>717723773 (OP)
Wasn't this chick from Madagascar
if i remember right that island was actually settled by polynesians first, hence they end up looking the most asian-y out of the rest of Africa

She needs to be color corrected. The one on the right has a much better skin pallete. The one on the left just looks like a Mestizo girl, the right looks more Pacific

>>717723773 (OP)
She looks hot though

>>717724498
That's not allowed anymore.

>people ITT ignoring how people have been complaining about tekken femake sameface

>>717724127
>Black goth girl

How did they even grow up that way when they're surrounded by their anti-nerdy basket/rap loving family and folks in their whole life?

She looks like her concept art. Definitely less detail, but that's pretty common, and the tekken sameface. The lesson seems to be that people will throw a fit no matter what.

What I'd like to see is if you take her design, show her to some Madagascar people, and other east africans, and get their hot take.

>>717724395
Yes. Go look at SE asians, Also, east africans look somewhat asian to begin with, you could grab one, toss them in a market in jakarta and not get noticed.

>>717724694
There have been non-white goths in the movement pretty much since the beginning

>>717724694
Same type of pipeline as the black hyper anime nerds, the Mad Thad powerlevel types.

>>717724697
If I'm a dev, I think the new meta should be to throw out something with a deliberate obvious, easily adjustable flaw, and then fix it.

>>717724749
She does not look like her concept art, are you face blind?

>>717724818
>Latina
>They're literally all white

>>717724697
Lame

Tekken's character designer has a tan skin option that a lot of players use to make Steve and Hwoarang look like African rappers. Anybody that genuinely wants darker skin rather than controversy can change it easily.

>>717724818
Hispanic goths since the Gomez Addams almost 100 years ago. When was the first, highest profile black goth in media? Actually now that I think about it, I think the earliest ones came via haiti, , louisiana, french voodoo shit, but I can't think of any specific ones.

>>717724749
>She looks like her concept art.
Congrats, you're blind

>>717724895
White hispanics are apparently not white. Sometimes. I don't know how any of this fucking works anymore.

>>717724876
Worse. I'm asian. I'm told we are all face blind penguin people.

So how are the Malagasy locals reacting to her inclusion?

Do they like it or otherwise like Josie failed in her homeland several years ago?

>>717724697
Murray deserves to be bullied.

>>717725020
Clearly the devs should listen to professional sensitivity readers on their designs. Pic related. The results of their work. Both faces are fine. Besides, a design sketch isn't a death pact.

>>717724818

should of face scanned debra wilson.

>>717723846
That's cope criticism nothing ever matches concept art. Tekken pretty much has the same looking females but no one truly gave a shit until race grifters jumped onto it

they apparently updated her model but the concept art design is still looks better to me.
What the hell is with recent tekkens not being able to make their female characters look realistic and not doll-like?

>>717725520
I think they've been going for resolution, polygons, hair, accessories, clothing, facial animation, but losing some on faces.

>>717725729
I just find it funny that the Tekken 4 renders of their character released 24 YEARS AGO are way more realistic than modern Tekken characters of today
it's so fucking backwards

>>717725520
>recent tekkens
It's been a problem since game 1

>>717725890
>dat Christie
That's literally a man

>>717725520
Just say you want fat, ugly women instead of women with good jeans.

>>717724694
They probably are low/high middle class blackies. If daddy is a professional black man, it's not that hard to have black kids with white hobbies.

>>717723773 (OP)

I like the Asian girl on the left. I can imagine how hot her skin feels and how hot her feet are. I just wanna tumble with her on the beach.

>>717726080
stop acting like a woman with your over emotional over exaggeration and actually have the balls to say something.

anime sameface doll shit is you celebrating lazy devs reusing the same model instead of actual making a unique face between characters.
It's especially retarded because this bitch is supposed to be a specific ethnicity but it'd be hard to tell otherwise.

>>717725963
this is what happens when all you consume is the same anime shit

>>717725520
I'm not even sure which one is supposed to be the corrected one here, especially with the lighting difference.

>>717727467
top was her reveal
bottom was the update

>design a SE hapa woman
>call her African

Lazy devs.

I originally thought the backlash was some stupid Twitter shit, but comparing her to her concept art, I get it now. Tekkens got a bad case of same face.

>>717723773 (OP)
I don't care. She cute.

>>717723773 (OP)
>>717725520
don't you braindead retarded cocksucking faggots realize she is not supposed to be black?????????????

>>717725520
>they apparently updated her model
They did?
She still looks the same.

Maybe they should just go the face scanning route…nobody seems to be happy

>>717728369

to nobodies surprise it turns out they're brown

>>717728902
Yeah, why don't you try making games, movies and tv shows with average looking people. See how well that goes.

>>717728902
>natives
the first inhabitants of madagascar were southeast asians half nogs and nogs are not natives, she is supposed to look like the president of Madagascar

This not-Elena seems to have the usual mistake on her hands and feet. (Black people have lighter soles + lighter palms and japanese artists make that mistake a lot)

Just say you want ugly people so the series dies.

The term "Gothic" originated as a pejorative description. Giorgio Vasari used the term "barbarous German style" in his Lives of the Artists (1550) to describe what is now considered the Gothic style, and in the introduction to the Lives he attributes various features to the Goths, whom he held responsible for destroying the ancient buildings after they conquered Rome.

You know it's funny how everyone was complaining about Tekken being sameface until it happened to the new chick who is black and now people here are defending tekken face

>>717728902
Try Yandex.

>>717729041
Nobody is asking for average looking characters (although I personally wouldn't mind more of that), but if you're going to make a character from a specific country, they should actually have the character look somewhat like they come from that country, or at the very least have something exaggerated about their design that positively represents their nation.
You never saw anyone complain about Hakan not repping Turkey properly even though he's got the skin pigment of raw meat and baby blue hair because he's fucking based and makes Turkish oil wrestling look cool. This chick is just another samebody sameface character that blends into the rest of the Tekken girls. Nothing about her design tells me about Madagascar.

>>717729048
>actually these brown people listed as natives officially don't count
>look up videos of Madagascar people
>they look exactly like the image I posted.

>>717729359
I understand basic things such as people will not pay $70 plus season passes to look at ugly people for hundreds of hours.

>>717729557
>celebs look less African than regular locals do
>the locals be like "they literally represent us!"

>>717729048
>first inhabitants
Don't do this retarded shit it's like saying an American character like Paul should look like a fucking native American and not a modern white American dude. And she isn't supposed to look like the president of Madagascar where the fuck did you get that idea from when her concept art looks maven and raven tier black like this?

>>717729635
>Nothing about her design tells me about Madagascar.
It tells you something about the type of celebrities they like. See
>>717729557
A fighter similar to a popular celebrity in Madagascar is in the game because she was designed for the small group of people who like Tekken there, not for you.

>>717729642
just because you're ignorant to the history of madagascar doesn't mean your google search disproves actual history

>>717729652
You keep going back to your literal made up schizo voice implying I ever said I wanted the character to look ugly when I never said that even once.
The concept art they showed is very beautiful and has a unique face. I would've liked the final model to look closer to concept art but it doesn't.
For some reason with what you keep implying with your post you think generic anime doll same face is only definitive way to ever model any female character and I'm completely against that.
I have to also reiterate this at the end because you come off as completely unintelligent, being against sameface doesn't fucking mean I don't want the character to be beautiful you stupid fucking illiterate nigger.

>>717729987
You haven't seen the final model in every stage. The complexion will change depending on the stage. You just like complaining.

>>717724127
We don't owe niggers anything. We did nothing to them, and they did nothing for us.

>>717726080
You mean genes, you dumbfuck. But no, I want big, fat men.

>>717730070
Again you're illiterate.
It's not about the fucking skin it's about the face. LEARN TO READ. I KEEP HAVING TO TELL YOU TO FUCKING READ.

>>717723846
>tekken females look like dogshit
What the fuck are you talking about

>>717729978
>just because you're ignorant to the history of madagascar
This is incredibly ironic because you're trying very hard to ignore the evidence presented towards you
She should look more like her concept art which is a cute brown woman. That's literally it, I don't know why you're so against this notion. she barely looks ethnic.

>>717723773 (OP)
This is always why its just easier to make white characters because you're not scrutinized by depicting them in any sort of specific light

>>717729871
Where can I find a pretty Black girl like her who aren't the regular wide-nosed huge-lipped Afro woman?

>>717725520
>look realistic
They're stylized, just like the guys.

>>717730234
stop defending lazy copy pasta face

pic related is for everyone ITT being fucking stupid enough to not recognize the blatant sameface problem in tekken.

>>717730152
>It's an island, so there's not a huge population, but it's quite unique in the fighting game community as in, they have these tournaments locally where you can earn points for the Tekken World Tour, obviously. We first saw that they actually had it quite often, once a month or so, which is quite a bit for such a small community. So we wanted to learn more about what motivated them to be participating in the game so much. So there are several facets that we actually got to hear about directly from them. And actually to view the population and see the characteristics from our point of view, but to ask them as your people go, what are the typical visual characteristics, whether that's the style of hair or the color of their skin, et cetera. To hear this directly from their perspective of what signifies someone from Madagascar.
From IGN. This is what the Tekken community there wanted. Stop trying to tell them what she should like like according to Google.

>>717729978
Hey question do you think bob, Paul, Bruce, Michelle and Julia chang, Leroy and Marshall law and Bryan fury should all look like redskins because of the history of America? Maybe make Marduk look like even more of a pitchblack wide nose aboriginal while we're at it.

>hey they changed a few millimeters of the same face model here and there for the whole cast! that perfectly acceptable! there's no sameface doll problem at all!
That'll be $70 plus $40 for the season pass :)

>>717723773 (OP)
Didn't really face any backlash. She's considered boring but that's not a huge backlash. My schizo brain tells me that transparent attempt to create a backlash is genuinely a marketing scheme from Namco

>>717730993
Not just same face but same body type which makes no fucking sense.
Howarang and Steve shouldn't be as buff as they are, makes sense for Kazuya and Paul.
Just blatantly lazy.

>>717731095
Also want to add, they completely removed Dragonuv's battle scars which have been present since he was introduced.

>>717731095
This is worse than NRS using all the same bodies in MK9

They post it like it's some kind of gotcha but everyone with a functioning brain can see how different the faces actually are.

>>717731071
Why does Tekken differentiate women through neck size? Why is that the thing that's allowed to be super different and distinct between girls?

>>717729048
it's not like 99999999 asians landed there you fucking autist, it was a tiny tribe that's been mostly absorbed into the south eastern african races

Youre the current problem with the industry.

>>717732073
I'm sorry you need your characters to look like hilarious caricatures in order to tell the difference between them but that is literally a (You) issue.

>>717723773 (OP)
Concept art includes two shade lips while the model doesn't what the fuck is up with that there's nothing model related that should have them fucking up textures

>>717730745
I think people are just too stubborn to admit they're wrong. This complaint of sameface and cutting corners has been a thing for a long time now.
Could also be they think this is some woke vs anti-woke shit when it clearly isnt and their political brainrot had fucked up their logic center into thinking people wanting her to look more unique is code word for making her ugly

>>717723773 (OP)
>Pretty soon we won’t have any White or Asian phenotypes to even model characters after because their “men” are constantly getting cucked by more masculine Black and Brown men who actually go out there and Have Sex instead of gooning it to 2D weeb slop like the sad pathetic incels they are
Grim…

>>717731813
Genetically, they're half SE asian. And the eastern african tribes look asian sometimes anyways. Even in the casual shots you see some people that look like the both models.

It's terminal anime brain. It has infected both the people who play the games and the people who make it. Anime was a mistake.

>>717732320
>This complaint of sameface and cutting corners has been a thing for a long time now.
Yes.
A complaint made by blind retards.
There are plenty of genuine problems with Tekken 8. Faces are not one of them.

>>717732320
Really, you think it's a coincidence that the woke activists, people who literally justify their employment as advisors on this game are raging hard and demanding changes? And we've seen SBI's track record on shit like this. Finally, the blizzard/activision diversity matrix literally has a category for being conventionally attractive, so you're already blatantly wrong on that part from the start.

And that's not even getting into the reactionaries.

I do agree with the part about political brainrot. The drawing is fine. The original model is fine. the revised model is fine. There's some dumbing down of the design process since tekken 4, but that's not anything new.

Are the Tekken fans in Madagascar embracing her design or has it already brought out a controversy or something like Josie did in the Philippines years ago?

>>717732552
The ones complaining about this are mostly burgers, as always.

>>717732523
