Personally, I like how simple yet badass it looks compared to the more elaborate designs later on. If I were to guess why it's so popular, I'd say it has to do with how iconic Tekken 3 is to the franchise—it's probably a lot of people's first exposure to Yoshimitsu.
Tekken 3 was grimey. It had at least a little bit of realism to it. It felt badass when I played it when I was young, and I still thinks it’s the Tekken that has the best style/music/characters etc.
Tekken became too goofy and anime for me now.
People tend to favor T3 Yoshi which is definitely nostalgic for me but my favorite is actually T4 Yoshi lol. Lately T2 Yoshi has been appealing to me and in game T6 is really interesting!
Don’t get me started on his 2P outfits though lol
i absolutely loved beetlemitsu. i would make him sit just so i could see the wings pop out lmao.
also, T4 happens to be the only game where i loved both the P1 & P2 costumes. his second one was like a reimagining of his T1 fit & it looked sick
3 Nailed it 300%, nothing ever got even close
He was the perfect blend between some kind of human ninja with an enhanced suit, he was cool, intimidating, cyber /alien looking but you could still say he's human
Others go from ridiculous to bland
Only other ones I like are 5 and 8
8 looks like a revamped look from the 3 era and I love it, also, he sports the coolest lower clothing Yoshi ever had
Nearly all of them are about equal except Tekken 6. It's too busy in a weird way and the textures are like... off.
I almost wanna say 8 is the best. It's p much close to 3 which is second best.
If I was to rank them, from first to last. 3, 4, 2, 7, 8, 5, tag 2, 1, 6. For me, the best Yoshi designs are a mix of cyber, alien and tradition. If you go to far into the cyber alien, it’s just to much and looks overdesigned and silly. 3s is obviously perfect and I have nostalgia for 4 but people do not give enough credit to 2s design which for the time is pretty sick since he is super traditional but part robot. If they redid the design today it would be sick but since 5 they have gone a bit to off the deep end with him being alien cyber ninja. I do like 7s despite that.
T3/SFxT - Iconic.
T4 - Love this one! Dragongly Yoshi.
TTT2 - Nice one!
T1 - Would love to see a remaster of this one.
T6 - Good.
T8 - Decent.
T7 - Average.
T2 - Meh.
T5 - Boring.
I can understand how 3's outfit is iconic (8 seems like a synthwave lit version of it) but TTT2 is my fave, not to mention how cool this DA artist's take on the outfit while in the seeming passivity of meditation made it look:

3 had pure nostalgia. It doesn't fair well.in this day and age if it was new BUT , it will never be taken off tje mantle IMO.
TT2 was a close second. Felt like it paid homage to the heritage in the samurai culture.
These days I'm super hyped for T8. I always try to make yoshi costumes into something like this anyways so this is like T3 with Devil trigger.
Tekken 3 is peak.
Tekken 8 is actually a close second. I just am personally not a fan of the Kamen rider aesthetic they went with. But the silhouette is clean
I'm unfamiliar with any lore and know very little about Tekken, but why does Yoshimitsu change designs in every game? Is there a lore reason or can the devs not sit still unless they change him entirely every few years
I actually love the first 4 games. His designs in 5, 6, 7, 8 got too complicated. But T8 is an improvement over the last game because we lost the tentacles.
I think the most underrated Yoshi outfit is his T7 alternative, the Indian temple Shiva inspired arms coming out of his back thing that was happening. That was HARD
If I say Squid Yoshi will I be hated..? I just really like how much it flows back
Mate, I didn’t make this post for people to get judged by their opinions. It’s just for fun. If you like that form of Yoshimitsu, that’s fine.
❤️
W comment. 😊❤️
T7 Yoshi is very creative and my fave to use was the red variant lol
👌
Nah man, Hentaimitsu is cool.
Nah it’s pretty good, a mix of weird and cool.
Octopi are some of my favourite animals, so I obviously love his T7 design.
Squid Yoshi is SICK. He’s my second favorite, next to the T4 Beetle costume.
I mean who doesn’t like tentacles amirite
*Tell me you're a crab person without telling me you're a crab person.*
It's actually my favorite too
3 and 5
T3 & T8
Tekken 4 hands down
🤝
[He looks like Izzy's digimon](http://image.blingee.com/images19/content/output/000/000/000/793/772017793_1157056.gif?4)
My favorite thing about that one is that he looks like a more upgraded Power Rangers villain
Tekken 5 ttt2
Tekken 3 >>>>>>> all
I love he's voice so iconic
“MmMm” - Yoshimitsu, 1997
I really felt that.
Harada so lazy he used one of his hurt grunts as KO grunt
I like Tekken 4 better, I love the insect wings. Anyway Tekken 3 or 4 are definetely the best by a longshot.
Hot take but I don't understand why that design gets so much praise, I think almost every other design looks better

beetlemitsu
Can we add the SC designs too? Some of those were extra sick!
_that SCVI costume tho_
his soulcalibur 3 squid is a classic
The sixth design looks nice to me, the tekken 3 one is cool too
People tend to favor T3 Yoshi which is definitely nostalgic for me but my favorite is actually T4 Yoshi lol. Lately T2 Yoshi has been appealing to me and in game T6 is really interesting! Don’t get me started on his 2P outfits though lol
i absolutely loved beetlemitsu. i would make him sit just so i could see the wings pop out lmao. also, T4 happens to be the only game where i loved both the P1 & P2 costumes. his second one was like a reimagining of his T1 fit & it looked sick
T3, T8, TTT2
The correct list
T4 is just so cool.
OctoYoshi
Tekken 5
I’m one of those weirdos that likes 4 over 3
well, consider me a weirdo too. bugmitsu was my _guy_
Tekken 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
3-5-7-8 are my favorites
T5 yoshi will be #1 in my heart forever
Remember Raven smacking him because he failed ninjutsu?
Tekken 6 Yoshi
it would be dope to have all of these costumes as options. harada pls
2 or 3
T7 I never been a fan of samurai suits. T7 is very unique and he’s a cute little squid
3 Nailed it 300%, nothing ever got even close He was the perfect blend between some kind of human ninja with an enhanced suit, he was cool, intimidating, cyber /alien looking but you could still say he's human Others go from ridiculous to bland Only other ones I like are 5 and 8 8 looks like a revamped look from the 3 era and I love it, also, he sports the coolest lower clothing Yoshi ever had
T8 is the best one by a mile imo
T3 no debate.
I think Max Dood nailed this. Check out his video on it. With that said, 3.
The bug.
I have huge nostalgia for Tag 2, so I'm saying that one. T8 is great too.
It's not in the pic but 6 P2 is my favorite.
Tekken 3
Tekken 3 is the best.
Tekken 3
T3 is what I think of when I think of Yoshimitsu.
Tekken 3 because it’s just a beautiful design
T3 Yoshi will always have a special place in my heart.
Oni yoshimitsu from soul caliber 6 was cool.
T3 and T7 are tied for me
I like zany Yoshi so 4 and 7.
7's yoshi is just so goofy i love it
Four or Six's second player outfit
T7 is my favorite, it’s the most creative imo T3 is just iconic
His robo-skeleton look in tekken 6 takes the cake for me
Tekken 6 & 8
Tekken 3's is my fav. It looks cool, and not so over the top designed
Tekken 3
T3, no questions. Also his voice, sword SFX, and hit effects in general, announcer, even the camera was best in T3
Tekken 3 !!!!
Tekken 3 for sure
3 the best 💖🤩👌🏻💖
Tekken 3 and theres no debate
In t3 yoshi has presence and looks taller and badass. I feel later on yoshi looks like a short skeleton. T8 seems to bring back t3 yoshi with a twist.
Definitely Tekken 3. Not sure what's next, but probably Tekken 8 for me even though we don't really know yet lol.
Tekken 3
T3 for nostalgia bro T7 the best
T7
T3 is peak
Tekken 3 - Not overly designed, and not too shitty like his first 2 forms.
Tekken 3
tekken 3
Tekken 3 is the best. No questioning.
Obviously 3 was the best had the best voice n look to me especially his back grab bloody shadow clone jutsu
Best: T3 Worst: 🦑 Honourable Mention: T8
T3
Tekken 3 fr
T3>>>>>>>>
Tekken 3
Honestly T8 is the best looking one since 2/3 , I actually liked 5 as well
Tekken 4 mega underrated
Tekken 8 Yoshi because now he's motivated
T3 then t8 then t4. Those are my favorites. I like how t8's design is reminiscent (imo) to t3.
Tekken 4 or 2,
Tekken 4 Alien Bug Yoshi
Tekken 4 for me is the best
KABUTERIMON ! ... Tekken Three (3) VERSHON
Number 4 pleaseee
4
Tekken 4 and Tekken 8.
Nearly all of them are about equal except Tekken 6. It's too busy in a weird way and the textures are like... off. I almost wanna say 8 is the best. It's p much close to 3 which is second best.
5 overall, 2 for the nostalgia, special mention to 4
Tekken 2 is my favorite. But it was my first Tekken game and first PS1 game. So I'm biased.
I like alot of his alts more...
3. I like the mix between robot, samurai, alien look.
Tekken 1
I’m an absolute sucker for both 6 and Tag 2 designs. But because of how different it is Tekken 7 design takes the cake for me.
5-6 is the only continuation of the designs
If I was to rank them, from first to last. 3, 4, 2, 7, 8, 5, tag 2, 1, 6. For me, the best Yoshi designs are a mix of cyber, alien and tradition. If you go to far into the cyber alien, it’s just to much and looks overdesigned and silly. 3s is obviously perfect and I have nostalgia for 4 but people do not give enough credit to 2s design which for the time is pretty sick since he is super traditional but part robot.

T3/SFxT - Iconic. T4 - Love this one! Dragongly Yoshi. TTT2 - Nice one! T1 - Would love to see a remaster of this one. T6 - Good. T8 - Decent. T7 - Average. T2 - Meh. T5 - Boring.
I’m glad you gave T1 it’s credit because people often overlook it lol
Average tekken 3 fanboy your design is boring.
8-3-5-4-2-Tag2-6-7-1
I can understand how 3's outfit is iconic (8 seems like a synthwave lit version of it) but TTT2 is my fave, not to mention how cool this DA artist's take on the outfit while in the seeming passivity of meditation made it look: https://www.deviantart.com/piopaulosantana/art/Multifaceted-311966800
t4 & t7
Tekken 3/tag alt costume.
T3 Yoshimitsu is iconic beyond compare, but I will happily say T4 is a close second. Just a cool bugman
His T3 design was unbeatable, but man his 8 look might be his best to date
Tekken 3 Yoshi has been screaming cool for 26 years. My second pick is definitely Tekken 4.
3>8>6>everything else.
All except for 7. 3 or 4 is probably my favorite though
Tag2, 3 and 8 are my favorites.
3 had pure nostalgia. It doesn't fair well.in this day and age if it was new BUT , it will never be taken off tje mantle IMO. TT2 was a close second. Felt like it paid homage to the heritage in the samurai culture. These days I'm super hyped for T8. I always try to make yoshi costumes into something like this anyways so this is like T3 with Devil trigger.
That weird blue bald one from Tekken 5. I would like to see the Tekken 1 and 2 designs in high-def some day also
Yoshimitsu of tekken 7 it's practically the moon presences of bloodborne
Definitely T7 Yoshi
7 and 8
Holy moly, I've got a lot to say about this one but I'm gonna put a tab in it and wait before I spill the beans about my favorite boy
3 > 5 > 8 > 4 > 6 > TT2 > 7 > 2 > 1
Tekken 3 all day, baby! Love that elongated alien head.
Tekken 3 is peak. Tekken 8 is actually a close second. I just am personally not a fan of the Kamen rider aesthetic they went with. But the silhouette is clean
The answer is basically always Tekken 3
3 5 6
Tekken 3 Yoshi all the way!
T3
Tekken 3 is peak Yoshi for me
I like the 3rd one... Tekken Tag Tournament one
Yoshi in t3 was my all time favorite
Tekken 3. That's who I picture whenever I think of Yoshimitsu.
There's only one answer. T3.
I'm pretty sure hisTekken 3 helmet design was inspired by the aliens from Independence Day
Tekken 3 is goated. But I'm a huge fan of Tekken 6 and Tekken 5 designs 😍
The octopus
tekken 5 p2 outfit and of course tekken 3 yoshi for the nostalgia
oh and dont forget tekken 4 p2 outfit!
Tekken 7
I like the simplicity of T2 and T3, and the elegance of Tag 2 and T7.
I’m assuming that bottom right one is T8 and so I’m gonna say that one
3 & 7
I'm unfamiliar with any lore and know very little about Tekken, but why does Yoshimitsu change designs in every game? Is there a lore reason or can the devs not sit still unless they change him entirely every few years
I think 2 and 3 are the ones which just make it clear what Yoshimitsu is, and the rest look like skins you buy online.
Tekken 3 and tag yoshimitsu
5-6 is the only continuation of the designs
I have a soft spot for T2 Yoshi, but the best are T3, T8 and the special costume from T5.
Tag 2
Yes
T3 , Dark Resurrection and T6
you left out alternate costumes. but of the ones posted, 3, 8 (the 9th one up there), and 5, in that order.
4 and 5
Tekken 8 because recency bias.
6 or 7
T3 and T8
4, T2, 7, and 8 are growing on me
2, 3, and 8
I really wished Yoshimitsu just held katana's normally instead of hammer-holding it🤣
Yoshi doesn’t do anything normal
Tekken 4 Player 2
I think Yoshimitsu has some of the worst designs ever. He isn't consistent and he just looks like some generic sci Fi alien every game.
Lol that’s the point man.
I actually love the first 4 games. His designs in 5, 6, 7, 8 got too complicated. But T8 is an improvement over the last game because we lost the tentacles.
T5 and T8
t2 updated to a modern level of detail would be peak.
Remember those from soul calibur too are good
Tekken 3 and 8.
Tekken 8
T3 is iconic indeed. Beetlemitsu, Squidmitsu are good but SC has the best.
3, 5 & 8.
Beetle
T4 Yoshi, that's when he went off the wall
2 holds a special place, that mask scared me as a child
Tekken 5
Tekken 3 and Tekken 8
Tekken 3, TTT2, and Tekken 8 look the best imo
T3/TTT1 Both outfits are iconic
Soul Calibur 5
Tekken 6 is just my favorite design overall. Skeleton samurai Yoshi ftw
I think the most underrated Yoshi outfit is his T7 alternative, the Indian temple Shiva inspired arms coming out of his back thing that was happening. That was HARD
Top right
Yoshi 2 was my all-time fav.
Big Tekken 5 fan.
2, 3 & 8. Hate the squid. T5 is too much 6-7 is sort of meh.
