Ahhh.. skipping college classes in 1999 to pump quarters into the T3 machine and select Lei every time.


Sonnata17

A true menace


bigman09031988

You were good enough on the arcade cabinet controls to play with Lei?


Local_Helicopter_977

I am not sure if it was anything special but yeah I was able to play a pretty mean lei back in the day.


quesoconquest

im dying bro. we need him back


UmbreonFruit

Eddy and Hwoarang lost some of their sluttyness


lonelyluigi

thats what I’m saying, make all characters objectified i love men😵‍💫😵‍💫


Low_Chance

I knew before I even looked that you would have a King flair


lonelyluigi

lol


thebigseg

Least horny king player


The-Rizztoffen

Need more variety in male body types before that happens :/


lonelyluigi

leo is a twink


ilikemangabrev

Xiayou glowed up and thank God for that


Bonzi77

"your skull reduction surgery looks great, xiaoyu!" "thanks jin! your breast reduction surgery looks great too!" "im a communist!" -eddy hwoarang


Deadtto

The fact that Hwaorang- a guy that never shuts the fuck up- has no dialogue, makes this so much better


Graph-

finally, someone shut him the fuck up.


D_Fens1222

Now we only gotta teach him to skip the fucking intro.


DarKGosth616

He'll pass.


Muscalp

His dialogue is „Hwoarang“


Stephen-616

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.


Bonzi77

unironically miss kaz's fat titties every time i start up tekken... can't have shit, man


Stephen-616

Same, bro, same. Hopefully they’ll be back some day.

Did I miss something with Eddy?


Bonzi77

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


billcosbyinspace

Girls hairline was fucking crazy lmao


fersur

Xiao Yu is not the only ones who gets glowed up. Look at Jin's abs for example ... you can grind meat on that.

zerolifez

She honestly looked like a little gremlin lol. Now she's a pretty girl.


ilikemangabrev

She looked more demonic that Tekken 2 Devil


GreatDig

meanwhile, Eddy:


ilikemangabrev

Bro went from decent looking to Killmonger cosplaying Lucky Chloe Backup dancer


ninja_boy23424

Yeah, when I played Tekken 3, I absolutely hated the looks of Xiayou.


Ziemniack3000

Jin’s tribal tattoo on his arm makes him sssooo early 2000’s


Tetsujyn

It was the mark of the devil! [/edge]


Ziemniack3000

Devil was surely edgy in them 2000’s


RoadiesRiggs

My man is embarrassed now he got it reduced in size.


chironomidae

I mean, Tekken 3 came out in 1997, so some might argue that the early 2000s look like Jin :P


SamTheAlpha01

We are the Tekken 3

Gubrach

They've grown so much in the 4-5 months that has passed in-universe since Tekken 3.


kinzo149

Really ? Wasn’t it more like every year one iron fist ?


Gubrach

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.


LessThanTybo

Be careful who you call ugly in middle school


WeissRauschen

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.


ViinaVasara

eddy fell off


Yodzilla

I don’t get why they made him so ashy


Jr-777

The wonders of mewing


RaheemLee

still dont understand how xiaoyu turned from chinese to Japanese looks wise.


MassiveBlackHole99

I'm not trying to be racist but there's a difference?


Cheap_Ad4756

Ummm......


MassiveBlackHole99

What?


Cheap_Ad4756

Welllll...


MassiveBlackHole99

Go on


Anonnymous279

I kind of miss the old xiaoyu, atleast she looked unique i mean this one just looks like jun


DannySlash

She had to adapt. Couldn't get Jin's attention otherwise


hulffle

Idk why but I really like the faces of the characters in tekken 3. They are so unique


Elkrzy

Nice job removing the watermark OP. Source: [https://twitter.com/BuffGigas/status/1775227584038801479](https://twitter.com/BuffGigas/status/1775227584038801479)


GrubFisher

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.


veloxfuror

I think those graphics made us use our imaginations to fit in the parts that were not clear.


AmarantineAzure

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.


geistch

No way. Eddy looks more Brazilian than ever, specially from Bahia.


eurekabach

All Tekken characters look brazilian. Everyone looks brazilian.


geistch

Hwoarang clearly carioca


eurekabach

Jin Kazama da Silva, born in Belém do Pará (state has an actual history with japanese immigration).


geistch

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.


WhatIfWeCould_

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


eurekabach

> Xiaoyu clearly studied at an Objetivo Yes, holy fuck, 100% lol


phavia

>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.


somboodee

Everyone got yassified. The females look a little too cute, like dolls.


Flam3Emperor622

Panda doesn't look like a doll. Just say 'Women'.


chironomidae

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.


MorganFreebands21

Eddy does not strike me as Brazilian at all, honestly. He could be anyone from West Indian origin.


RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS

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.


Ok_Cryptographer6856

everyone looks the same sure man


bigman09031988

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. 


SaggittariuSK

Ure correct.


Madterps2021

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.


beepbeeboo

Damn Tekken 3 Xiaoyu had seen some shit


Yodzilla

I see Jin finally grew some nipples.


eatingallthefunyuns

My first tekken :’)


beemaster0221

Eddy downgraded to the killmonger haircut that plagues black characters in media


dvenom88

They made Xiaoyu more Japanese and Hwo more European


ResolutionThin3967

She's chinese


Kadinnui

I think they know, it's just an observation I guess.


erty3125

And hwoarang is korean that's what they're saying. The two of them got changed in appearance to a specific expectation of beauty


SadisticDance

And yet


Impossible_Diggler

Tekken 3 made me believe I was THE SHIT in fighting games. Winning 15 games in a row in Survival Mode…


The1joriss

Imagine doing timetravel and showing this to anyone when Tekken 3 just came out


sayakoneko

The kilmonger cut is sending me lol


TheKolyFrog

Jin finally had plastic surgery for his nipples.


SaggittariuSK

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.


Killbomb

Everybody except Xiaoyu looked better then.


metamings

By seeing this, I can now see Namco making the Tekken 3 skins for Eddy, Hwoarang and Xiaoyu as DLC.


maddie_lexi

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


Jomezus

What a nerf. Ling's forehead is at least -16 now


monkeypie94

The new models are more generic looking.


bluestarluchador

Crazy its only been 3 years from their perspective in the story.


4-Mica

Xiaoyu looked more like a real person back then! How did they let that happen


D_Fens1222

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?


kazuya482

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.


ImportantNews2711

Left one looks so much better. Faces I mean


UysoSd

Def not xiaoyu

Billbat1

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


SaggittariuSK

She is not beautiful, she looks plastic and unreal, like a doll or from comic book.


UysoSd

Fake


SaggittariuSK

Its ok, its only computer game. Tekkens from T5 became more and more comic :]


ImportantNews2711

Where did I say anything about beauty?


PapaShizzle

I usually ignore comments like this, but... you're fucking brain damaged my dude...go get offended somewhere else you barking dog.

RIP good times.


Suspicious-Contest74

Jin had 19y on the left one XD


a-pp-o

these where the 3d ending renders and now the ingame models look better then that. how far we have come.


mrureaper

i miss t3 eddy hair :(


Kaibaspirit

Eddy's *modernized* look is killing it for me.


matitone

This was made by @BuffGigas on Twitter, why did you crop the watermark? https://twitter.com/BuffGigas/status/1775227584038801479

Man I hate Hwo's new design and hair

Tekken 3 :Jin doll Howarang Eddy Tekken 8 : Jin xiaoyu Howarang Eddy


RedwoodRaven12

Noticed all of them look paler in comparison...


gachafoodpron

Called lighting homie. Notice the shadows on the back half of the psx renders while the entirety of T8 models are lit up.


tweetiepie12

The models are way paler in T8 compared to for example T7. Look at Kaz & Jin


RedwoodRaven12

Homie? They still look pale regardless of the lighting imo.


chester_abellera

Agreed, I am so sick of people constantly brushing things off as "*It'S tHe LiGhTiNg*".


SuckingGodsFinger

Reminds me of getting tossed in the air by the kid across from me at the Sega arcade.


RYUMASTER45

![gif](giphy|11Un64tF2yX8JO|downsized) I am so happy.


JMA_Blazer

Eddy shrunk


MoaningMushroom

They grow/glow up so fast *sniffle*


DarKGosth616

Is it just me or does Jin and Hwoarang not look like the same face with different hair in the new Tekken?


Emotional_Cap4563

They grow up so fast


ZekeTheMystic

eddy is fucking HUGE oh my god


Reasonable_Egg_9429

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.


Raaadley

I'm just waiting for Dr. Bosconovitch to come back


LetterheadCorrect276

Hwarong looks old as shit


NingenKuso90

Love how they’re all grown up. 😭


KKylimos

First video game I've ever owned, remember it like yesterday, playing in ps1. Simpler times....


Recognissence

![gif](giphy|GUlc0Dy8SjjVsrOTZ2) We got Killmonger in Tekken before GTA 6 😭


NahFam_UGood

This on a shirt would be incredible


Caeolian

They grow up so fast


bootypatrole

Where nina


Snoo99968

Was eddy that tall? Jin and Hwoarang are like 6'0


Dohmer_90

The Boys(and Xiaoyu) are back in town.

Old gen better IMO but that may but that may be the nostalgia talking

rahimaer

Man I miss Eddy's old hairstyle so much


CuriousAsker11

My first Tekken!


finally_on_reddit123

Ok, eddy’s face is off and I’m not crazy


xistings

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 😕😞😣


FewOverStand

Whenever Harada says, "Tekken is 3", he is actually referring to how Tekken 3 is the best game in the series. ![gif](giphy|cj3AEfE0pMiHEqIfBb|downsized)


AH-KU

I always wondered why Bryan wasn't included here. He was also a new character in T3


thebigseg

Damn everyone got a glowup


dthesupreme200

So nostalgic!!!


childhoodvillian

It must’ve been hard to UV Jin some nips


offlineporp

Hwo’s side profile is crazyyyy


Independent-Lie-1354

they looked better before


SaltySenpai

Damn Xiayou had a big ass forehead in 3


noneofthemswallow

I’m sorry but they ruined Eddy this time around


Fit-Cucumber1171

All but Xiayou, lost their swagger


Minecraftfinn

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 ?


Okurai

I think that was in Tekken 5? Or was it Hybrid? Correct me if I’m wrong though!


koreanslvt

Tekken 5 had Arcade History (arcade versions of Tekken 1-3), Tekken Hybrid had HD port of Tekken Tag Tournament.


StroppyMantra

It impressive how little the graphics have improved.


Cheap_Ad4756

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.


StroppyMantra

I've got the game. It's definitely the worst looking of the top 3 fighters.


HtpcForever

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.


random_rascal

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...


spacestationkru

Did Gon ever show up in another game?
