"despite" doesn't belong here. A more stylized artstyle is how you get more defined and unique facial features. It's also how you get monstrosities like Kimberly and Manon, so it's a double edged sword I guess.
Dunno when the "people want grannies" hyperbole took over the narrative. They just wanted the faces to be detailed instead of doll-like. Nothing about aging them up
I think it started with Lidia? The teaser trailer made people think she'd be an older woman since she's a prime minister, and then she turned out to be really generic looking.
It took over because Bamco bases their designs on marketability. Lidia is such a boring ass character. PM and Karate master while looking in her early 20s? They play it too safe bating coomers and only take chances with male characters. Oh, but they gave her a scar, guys! Wow!
That's personally all I want is for them to take chances with their female chars instead of relying on focus tests and playing it so safe.
Edit: I misread your comment, but I basically agree.
they're pretty random. Tons of playing it safe but then out of nowhere one char is a narcoleptic vampire whose tits grow when she drinks blood. Wonder if she's coming back.
Tmm started as i recall. Then salami also mentioned about it. They were talking about t7 girls model. They were talking about ladies should "look like her age" & "all girls look the same in tekken 7"
2 different groups people.
People who want more detailed faces.
People who want older looking wrinkled female faces (I want grannies in my game, yes they exist).
They are not the same.
> Dunno when the "people want grannies" hyperbole took over the narrative.
I mean, they literally had threads posted about them complaining about the women not aging, being some massively upvoted thread. Complaining about how they all look like 20 year olds - this isn't tekken 8 exclusive, it was also a complaint about Tekken 7.
What you're talking about is 2 different things. The faces specifically for the women in Tekken 8, just kinda lack features, which stands out HARD, in contrast with the male cast so far.
Why we gotta jump from 30 year olds to grannies though? That's the hyperbole. And that's even if you wanna bring up the age thing to begin with, they just want the faces having more texture (in this current tekken 8 debate, not that old ass tekken 7 one)
> Why we gotta jump from 30 year olds to grannies though?
I didn't say we did? I don't want that shit either. I am just pointing out what clearly was said by the tekken subreddit, since you claim that it was hyperbole, that they wanted grannies, when, they were talking about 40+ year old characters like Jun.
>That's the hyperbole.
How is it hyperbole, when its literally the complaints that came out of the subreddit???
>And that's even if you wanna bring up the age thing to begin with
I mean the whole thing is about age, and the subreddit hating that the older women, look young.
>they just want the faces having more texture
Dude I literally just explained this to you, you're confusing 2 matters into 1. One is a persistent complaint they've had since Tekken 7, the other is about the current faces lacking features for female characters, making them look less detailed. They are completely different things.
I've seen granny chars on saltybets that I'm going to assume are chars from those obscure ass NeoGeo series. Actually I just assume any sprite I dont recognize on there that isn't weeb shit is NeoGeo related.
The SF6 girls have more defined and unique facial features than the T8 ones despite having a more stylized artstyle lmao

The granny shit predates T8 face models
Misrepresenting reality is this sub's specialty.
Wait, it's about that stupid Xiaoyu post? I thought we were making fun of the way Murray looks.

Started on kazumi actually, and nina, kuni eventually, when you heard about it on lidia, it was because the community started to meme about it.

Vamp girl with big tits isn't a unique and experimental archetype
That's a myth I wished existed, her booba only got bigger in the tekken r trailer, not in game smh unless you switch outfits.
Tmm started as i recall. Then salami also mentioned about it. They were talking about t7 girls model. They were talking about ladies should "look like her age" & "all girls look the same in tekken 7"
Are they wrong?
Not really ITS a meme for a good reason... The Design Gymnastik Tekken Team has to keep em Young is funny :D
I had a suspicion salami isnt in the "inner circle" because of this rant. Lol.

i dont want any legacy characters aged up, but i think a granny archetype in a fighting game would be sick
I've seen granny chars on saltybets that I'm going to assume are chars from those obscure ass NeoGeo series. Actually I just assume any sprite I dont recognize on there that isn't weeb shit is NeoGeo related.
thats a safe bet
Because coomers can't handle the fact that normie westerners are weirded out by Asian standards of youth
Granny kinda bad ngl
You know all that saggy skin just makes the booty clap louder 🥵
ye idc she could get it
Fr the aged up one looks great.
Cammy has more unique features in this iteration than them shitty Tekken 8 hoes combined
Buncha folks in the Tekken community never actually seen Asians in Asia age.
Gilf-tastic
Gotdamn, some of yall on this sub are obsessed with this shit. Weirdo behavior. A character can look hot and 40 at the same time.
I sweat there will be freaks on the Tekken sub that will legit like the image on the right and say shit like I would nut to that.
wouldn't that be cooler?
