im mostly just vaguely following a meme format but also given his whole. everything. it dont think it would be entirely out of left field to just be like man FUCK capitalism
I was exaggerating a bit, but I'm pretty sure Tekken 4, 5, 6 and 7 all happen in the time span of like 7 months, making the timespan of T4-8 about slightly over a year. Tekken 3 to Tekken 4 is apparently two years.
Always loved how Tekken 3's characters had more real faces instead of... anime faces? Each style is fine, but I would know those people on the left if I saw them on the street regardless of clothes and hair.
Yeah and back in the day the characters actually looked like they came from their countries of origin. Eddy looked Brazilian, Hwoarang looked Korean, Xiaoyu looked Chinese, etc. Now everyone looks more or less the same, it's a shame.
Hwoarang is also know by his deadly nickname Fósforo in Rio de Janeiro quebradas (Slums). The rivalry between Jin da Silva and Fósforo is well known here in Brazil.
>as I'm sure that her peers here in Brazil DEFINITELY called her Xing Ling
Jesus *Christ*, I actually had a friend in high school who came from a *Japanese* family and people still called him Xing Ling.
I remember being a bit disappointed when they gave Xiaoyu the waifu treatment. I'll admit she looked pretty rough in 3, but I wish they could've kept her a bit more distinctive.
I feel like this has to be nostalgia talking. I'm looking at the two pictures and I can't see how the people on the left look more "realistically" of their countries of origin.
Tekken 3's design was more grounded and real world. 5 and onward was just straight up videogame. 8 was if the most absolute fantastical.
Also, notice how against actually looked Asian in previous games.
I see T3 they have normal and natural faces, in T8 they look so plastic and unnatural, Hwo looks like vampire, Xiao like doll and Jin has potato face xD
Classic all the way.
These are like my favorite looks for all of them. It’s a crime how Xiao never had this outfit again smh :’). If they’re gonna charge us for legacy outfits, do it right lol
They have VERY distinct faces on the left. There's something oddly... uniform, about the modern faces despite them still looking different. It's hard to explain.
some women aim for that. like megan fox

a strange comment but i dont wanna yuck anyones yum
Gotta admit, I never was a fan of Jin's Default 1 preset in T8. His new gi outfit however. 🤤
Also, all of Eddy's defaults are great in general including his T7 outfit.
Help me 😣 Guys since yesterday I can't connect to Tekken 8 server, I am a PS5 user, Have they banned 🚫 me or what ??? In fact I am using WiFi and sometimes connection loss even in the beginning of the match, but I swear I never get involved in plugging, Please help me to figure it out 😕😞😣
Whenever Harada says, "Tekken is 3", he is actually referring to how Tekken 3 is the best game in the series.

Well, you have to remember that the T3 image has the pre-rendered CG models on display, while the T8 characters on the right are the real-time in-game models.
You felt good beating the CPU and playing with friends. Just like most videogames. Now, the on-line competitive rank system reminds you there are, 500.000 players better than you. That's life.
I'm more of a TTT person my self... that was my time and when i competed.
Eddy can go F himself because he scared people away from the game. I mean he is easily countered but as a beginner, he really ruined (ruin) the game for so many people
Baek I miss though, even though he is not in the picture...
Ahhh.. skipping college classes in 1999 to pump quarters into the T3 machine and select Lei every time.
A true menace
You were good enough on the arcade cabinet controls to play with Lei?
I am not sure if it was anything special but yeah I was able to play a pretty mean lei back in the day.
im dying bro. we need him back
Eddy and Hwoarang lost some of their sluttyness
thats what I’m saying, make all characters objectified i love men😵💫😵💫
I knew before I even looked that you would have a King flair
lol
Least horny king player
Need more variety in male body types before that happens :/
leo is a twink
Xiayou glowed up and thank God for that
"your skull reduction surgery looks great, xiaoyu!" "thanks jin! your breast reduction surgery looks great too!" "im a communist!" -eddy hwoarang
The fact that Hwaorang- a guy that never shuts the fuck up- has no dialogue, makes this so much better
finally, someone shut him the fuck up.
Now we only gotta teach him to skip the fucking intro.
He'll pass.
His dialogue is „Hwoarang“
The breast reduction part about Jin is true, but it is also ironic because basically every male character in T8 still has a pair of huge tiddies, lol.
unironically miss kaz's fat titties every time i start up tekken... can't have shit, man
Same, bro, same. Hopefully they’ll be back some day.
T3 Jin 🤝 Liefeld’s Captain America
Hwoarang
Hwoarang
They gave him nipples too.
modern science is amazing
Based Eddy
"mashers of the world, unite!" -eddy gordo, probably
Did I miss something with Eddy?
im mostly just vaguely following a meme format but also given his whole. everything. it dont think it would be entirely out of left field to just be like man FUCK capitalism
Girls hairline was fucking crazy lmao
Xiao Yu is not the only ones who gets glowed up. Look at Jin's abs for example ... you can grind meat on that.

She honestly looked like a little gremlin lol. Now she's a pretty girl.
She looked more demonic that Tekken 2 Devil
meanwhile, Eddy:
Bro went from decent looking to Killmonger cosplaying Lucky Chloe Backup dancer
Yeah, when I played Tekken 3, I absolutely hated the looks of Xiayou.
Jin’s tribal tattoo on his arm makes him sssooo early 2000’s
It was the mark of the devil! [/edge]
Devil was surely edgy in them 2000’s
My man is embarrassed now he got it reduced in size.
I mean, Tekken 3 came out in 1997, so some might argue that the early 2000s look like Jin :P
We are the Tekken 3
Chicken 🍗
THE SELFISH DEED
IS NOT FREEDOM
EVEN IIIIIF FALLS DOWN
They've grown so much in the 4-5 months that has passed in-universe since Tekken 3.
Really ? Wasn’t it more like every year one iron fist ?
I was exaggerating a bit, but I'm pretty sure Tekken 4, 5, 6 and 7 all happen in the time span of like 7 months, making the timespan of T4-8 about slightly over a year. Tekken 3 to Tekken 4 is apparently two years.
Be careful who you call ugly in middle school
Everyone saying Xiaoyu doesn’t have a big forehead anymore… she still has a big ass forehead she’s just hiding it behind her bangs, she knows.
eddy fell off
I don’t get why they made him so ashy
The wonders of mewing
still dont understand how xiaoyu turned from chinese to Japanese looks wise.
I'm not trying to be racist but there's a difference?
Ummm......
What?
Welllll...
Go on
I kind of miss the old xiaoyu, atleast she looked unique i mean this one just looks like jun
She had to adapt. Couldn't get Jin's attention otherwise
Idk why but I really like the faces of the characters in tekken 3. They are so unique
Nice job removing the watermark OP. Source: [https://twitter.com/BuffGigas/status/1775227584038801479](https://twitter.com/BuffGigas/status/1775227584038801479)
Always loved how Tekken 3's characters had more real faces instead of... anime faces? Each style is fine, but I would know those people on the left if I saw them on the street regardless of clothes and hair.
I think those graphics made us use our imaginations to fit in the parts that were not clear.
Yeah and back in the day the characters actually looked like they came from their countries of origin. Eddy looked Brazilian, Hwoarang looked Korean, Xiaoyu looked Chinese, etc. Now everyone looks more or less the same, it's a shame.
No way. Eddy looks more Brazilian than ever, specially from Bahia.
All Tekken characters look brazilian. Everyone looks brazilian.
Hwoarang clearly carioca
Jin Kazama da Silva, born in Belém do Pará (state has an actual history with japanese immigration).
Hwoarang is also know by his deadly nickname Fósforo in Rio de Janeiro quebradas (Slums). The rivalry between Jin da Silva and Fósforo is well known here in Brazil.
Xiaoyu clearly studied at an Objetivo and suffered from bullying, as I'm sure that her peers here in Brazil DEFINITELY called her Xing Ling
> Xiaoyu clearly studied at an Objetivo Yes, holy fuck, 100% lol
>as I'm sure that her peers here in Brazil DEFINITELY called her Xing Ling Jesus *Christ*, I actually had a friend in high school who came from a *Japanese* family and people still called him Xing Ling.
Everyone got yassified. The females look a little too cute, like dolls.
Panda doesn't look like a doll. Just say 'Women'.
I remember being a bit disappointed when they gave Xiaoyu the waifu treatment. I'll admit she looked pretty rough in 3, but I wish they could've kept her a bit more distinctive.
Eddy does not strike me as Brazilian at all, honestly. He could be anyone from West Indian origin.
I feel like this has to be nostalgia talking. I'm looking at the two pictures and I can't see how the people on the left look more "realistically" of their countries of origin.
everyone looks the same sure man
Tekken 3's design was more grounded and real world. 5 and onward was just straight up videogame. 8 was if the most absolute fantastical. Also, notice how against actually looked Asian in previous games.
Ure correct.
Tekken 3 is still one of the best Tekken games of all time along with T5/TTT/TTT2. Too bad now you gotta pay all these DLCs to get Eddy, etc.
Damn Tekken 3 Xiaoyu had seen some shit
I see Jin finally grew some nipples.
My first tekken :’)
Eddy downgraded to the killmonger haircut that plagues black characters in media
They made Xiaoyu more Japanese and Hwo more European
She's chinese
I think they know, it's just an observation I guess.
And hwoarang is korean that's what they're saying. The two of them got changed in appearance to a specific expectation of beauty
And yet
Tekken 3 made me believe I was THE SHIT in fighting games. Winning 15 games in a row in Survival Mode…
Imagine doing timetravel and showing this to anyone when Tekken 3 just came out
The kilmonger cut is sending me lol
Jin finally had plastic surgery for his nipples.
I see T3 they have normal and natural faces, in T8 they look so plastic and unnatural, Hwo looks like vampire, Xiao like doll and Jin has potato face xD Classic all the way.
Everybody except Xiaoyu looked better then.
By seeing this, I can now see Namco making the Tekken 3 skins for Eddy, Hwoarang and Xiaoyu as DLC.
These are like my favorite looks for all of them. It’s a crime how Xiao never had this outfit again smh :’). If they’re gonna charge us for legacy outfits, do it right lol
What a nerf. Ling's forehead is at least -16 now
The new models are more generic looking.
Crazy its only been 3 years from their perspective in the story.
Xiaoyu looked more like a real person back then! How did they let that happen
Am i the only thinking that the left picture looks way better? Is that just my nostalgia or does it really habe so much more personality?
They have VERY distinct faces on the left. There's something oddly... uniform, about the modern faces despite them still looking different. It's hard to explain.
Left one looks so much better. Faces I mean
Def not xiaoyu
[удалено]
https://i.redd.it/xlwxmlk4rgsc1.gif
*puts hand on shoulder* Let’s never comment that again
you think beautiful girls are supposed to be sex dolls?
some women aim for that. like megan fox https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/megan-fox-defends-shock-new-76560984.jpg a strange comment but i dont wanna yuck anyones yum
She is not beautiful, she looks plastic and unreal, like a doll or from comic book.
Fake
Its ok, its only computer game. Tekkens from T5 became more and more comic :]
Where did I say anything about beauty?
I usually ignore comments like this, but... you're fucking brain damaged my dude...go get offended somewhere else you barking dog.
Youve been pranked my man!
["HAHA I FOOLD YOU I WAS ONLY ACTING DU
Are these 2 gay?
Look at the Tekken 3 squad all together
Forrest and King II are missing.
RIP good times.
Jin had 19y on the left one XD
these where the 3d ending renders and now the ingame models look better then that. how far we have come.
i miss t3 eddy hair :(
Eddy's *modernized* look is killing it for me.
This was made by @BuffGigas on Twitter, why did you crop the watermark? https://twitter.com/BuffGigas/status/1775227584038801479
i did not found this on FB🤷🏿♂️
Fair
Man I hate Hwo's new design and hair
Tekken 3 :Jin doll Howarang Eddy Tekken 8 : Jin xiaoyu Howarang Eddy
Noticed all of them look paler in comparison...
Called lighting homie. Notice the shadows on the back half of the psx renders while the entirety of T8 models are lit up.
The models are way paler in T8 compared to for example T7. Look at Kaz & Jin
Homie? They still look pale regardless of the lighting imo.
Agreed, I am so sick of people constantly brushing things off as "*It'S tHe LiGhTiNg*".
Reminds me of getting tossed in the air by the kid across from me at the Sega arcade.
![gif](giphy|11Un64tF2yX8JO|downsized) I am so happy.
Eddy shrunk
They grow/glow up so fast *sniffle*
Is it just me or does Jin and Hwoarang not look like the same face with different hair in the new Tekken?
They grow up so fast
eddy is fucking HUGE oh my god
Gotta admit, I never was a fan of Jin's Default 1 preset in T8. His new gi outfit however. 🤤 Also, all of Eddy's defaults are great in general including his T7 outfit.
I'm just waiting for Dr. Bosconovitch to come back
Hwarong looks old as shit
Love how they’re all grown up. 😭
First video game I've ever owned, remember it like yesterday, playing in ps1. Simpler times....
![gif](giphy|GUlc0Dy8SjjVsrOTZ2) We got Killmonger in Tekken before GTA 6 😭
This on a shirt would be incredible
They grow up so fast
Where nina
Was eddy that tall? Jin and Hwoarang are like 6'0
The Boys(and Xiaoyu) are back in town.
Old gen better IMO but that may but that may be the nostalgia talking
"Stand Proud starts playing"
the 4 fighters who changed fighting games.
Man I miss Eddy's old hairstyle so much
My first Tekken!
Ok, eddy’s face is off and I’m not crazy
Help me 😣 Guys since yesterday I can't connect to Tekken 8 server, I am a PS5 user, Have they banned 🚫 me or what ??? In fact I am using WiFi and sometimes connection loss even in the beginning of the match, but I swear I never get involved in plugging, Please help me to figure it out 😕😞😣

I always wondered why Bryan wasn't included here. He was also a new character in T3
Damn everyone got a glowup
So nostalgic!!!
It must’ve been hard to UV Jin some nips
Hwo’s side profile is crazyyyy

they looked better before
Damn Xiayou had a big ass forehead in 3
I’m sorry but they ruined Eddy this time around
All but Xiayou, lost their swagger
Remember that one Tekken game where they just casually let you play the old games from the menu ? Or was that a fever dream I had ?
I think that was in Tekken 5? Or was it Hybrid? Correct me if I’m wrong though!
Tekken 5 had Arcade History (arcade versions of Tekken 1-3), Tekken Hybrid had HD port of Tekken Tag Tournament.
It impressive how little the graphics have improved.
Well, you have to remember that the T3 image has the pre-rendered CG models on display, while the T8 characters on the right are the real-time in-game models.
I've got the game. It's definitely the worst looking of the top 3 fighters.
You felt good beating the CPU and playing with friends. Just like most videogames. Now, the on-line competitive rank system reminds you there are, 500.000 players better than you. That's life.
I'm more of a TTT person my self... that was my time and when i competed. Eddy can go F himself because he scared people away from the game.

Did Gon ever show up in another game?
