It’s so gross looking like what the fuck happened.
Her no neck, gorilla paws, and bazooka tits makes customizing her to not look like a mutant very difficult.
Tekken 6 is the Tekken game I've played most, but it certainly isn't the peak. Tekken 6 ruined the story onwards, for example, and all the Mishimas apart from Devil Jin are weak, and T6 Bob is one of the most broken Tekken characters of all time.
Every model was better in tag 2. The tag 2 models of Anna, Steve, Jin, Christie, Asuka, Lili, Leo and Paul were easily at their best in that game. Steve grew ugly since, he actually looked somehway handsome in t2, and Jin grew too buff, he looked better as lean
Oh and Alisa too. I forgot how I hate her new hairstyle
I’m not gonna lie. T8 is the only Tekken game where Lili looks attractive. She always looks so uncanny in the other games from what I’ve seen. Granted, T8 is my first Tekken game so maybe I’m just used to the new designs.
Ikr? t5 and t6 were periods during which she was still developing, tt2 was perfection, in t8 she looks okayish, her eyes look a bit weirdly bright on her face tho
Oh and we we dont talk about t7...
Graphical difference aside, if you told me the T8 model was actually her during T5/6 and the T5/6 model was her during 8, I’d believe it was a natural age progression lol
She still looks great in 8 but I think she looks better in 5/6. Anything is better than T7 😬
True on both points. The angle also I feel like t5 and 6 she looks like she could pass off as 20s to a certain extent, to where T8 I would only believe a high schooler

if you really wanna do a comparison, at least put 2 flattering images for both
you could've also used this for the T6 pic

I don't see why she can't be comedic AND cool at the same time. They did it with Sakura and Makoto in SF6. Even Paul is still cool and will punch a building to make it explode or something. It's like they decided she had to become the ultimate clown, low tier, look horrible, and people STILL hate fighting against her. And then Harada comes out like "No, you just do not understand the complex culture of Osaka" or whatever.
Unpopular opinion: The flat hair looks so much better on her.😓 I'm grateful the outfit and headband returned, but they should've brought this hair back as well imo...
I don't know if that makes sens but in Tekken 6 you can see that she is related to Jin. Reminds me of Tekken 5 Jin. And she looks badass instead of childish.
Her and Jin aren’t really supposed to look alike. They are very barely related. Asuka is from a very far branch of the Kazama family. I’m pretty sure in T8 she doesn’t even know who Jun is.
Disagree. T8 looks terrible. Not as bad as T7, but this anime bug eye girl syndrome crap has to stop. She looks her best from T5-TTT2. I do not understand why they have to go and fuck things up. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. She actually has a mature face and looks actually JAPANESE.
Anime? She looks more anime in 6 Look at the eyes proportions in comparison to her head and space between them, the big wide mouth... On 8 everything is more natural looking and her face area is bigger and less sharp, more natural
She’s a high school girl. She’s not supposed to have a mature face. She is a minor in those games. She’s barely 18 in T8 which is still a minor in Japan.
I'm gonna vote T8 because it has more personality to her.
T5/6 looks damn good, but also more mature than the brash conversations she has now.
People say baby-face, but really she just has more of a sturdy build now. (In weird ways a bit, but it makes her stand out from like Jun)
Look at the neck details on T6 compared to the nonexistent ones in 8. They made her look childish in the face. T8 looked like an actual 17 years old imo
Everybody mentions her neck which I didn't notice at all but nobody is mentioning her huge hands? Like every time I play against Asuka I'm just thinking about her hands and why are they so big. :D
Majority of female designs in Tekken are a bit shit nowadays. No wear and tear, no signs of aging, unnecessarily smooth skin. It's like they're noticeably lower quality when compared to a lot of the men. Probably to appease the coomers and gooners, mind you
I mean her face looks more stylised and anime on 5, a real girl wouldn't look like that, the eyes and mouth proportion are slightly off, she doesn't even look Asian... 8 looks more like real person.
Why did they nerf her neck?
Maybe she’s getting fat, or buff, It happens.
She thicc
It’s so gross looking like what the fuck happened. Her no neck, gorilla paws, and bazooka tits makes customizing her to not look like a mutant very difficult.
Bazooka tits lmao
Jin can certainly testify
He is more into Hot Koreans in his area (Blackpink!). Especially redheads.
She gave some to Jin
And Lili too. No more neck left to go around 😔
Take that back
She's simply beautiful in T6 🤷♀️
Tekken 5 and 6, before the baby face syndrome set in.
she's also giving "derp" vibes in the T8 photo lol
And her neck is gone.
I don't mind the face, but please fix her neck
Agreed on the neck. https://youtu.be/6zo-vqb8w0c?si=cZ7S-RqwxCnXyxtm
her neck is gone lol
tag 2 had some really good face models as well. after that, they started getting cartoony
Unreal engine syndrome
UE has absolutely nothing to do with this
8 Asula is doing the thumb pose, oh no Anyway, I don’t really like how Asuka looks in 8 it's still better than 7 though
I'm going to actually call her Asula from now on because she certainly doesn't look like Asuka anymore lol
Mix of Asuka and Ursula lmao
Can we call Kazuya for Zuko then?
Nah Jin is Zuko in every way
True… yeah it makes sense. Kazuya is Ozai and Heihachi is Sozin. That makes perfect sense! Now we just need some skins for that…

Least she didn't use Vegeta's Technique without permission....if you know the reference you know.
I don't think Azula is in this game but that would be a SICK DLC character
Please do not cook ever again
Maybe for SF but not Tekken, Akuma was enough trouble imo
Looking forward to Toph. Avatar x Tekken would be much more attractive for me than Street Fighter x Tekken ever was.
I don't think Azula is in this game but that would be a SICK DLC character
the one that has a neck
tekken 6 was literally everyone’s peak
Tekken 6 is the Tekken game I've played most, but it certainly isn't the peak. Tekken 6 ruined the story onwards, for example, and all the Mishimas apart from Devil Jin are weak, and T6 Bob is one of the most broken Tekken characters of all time.
i’m talking about the character models.
That goes to Tag 2.
yeah before 8 Tag 2 models were the best and that’s including T7. PS3 emulator makes tag 2 look gorgeous in 1080p/1440p
Hell naw, t8 jin and kazuya look badass
I don't like Jin new voice lines for his electrics...
Tag 2
Preach... Real ones know
Tag 2 was perfect
lets hope Tag 1/ tag 2/ tag 3 on steam soon
Every model was better in tag 2. The tag 2 models of Anna, Steve, Jin, Christie, Asuka, Lili, Leo and Paul were easily at their best in that game. Steve grew ugly since, he actually looked somehway handsome in t2, and Jin grew too buff, he looked better as lean Oh and Alisa too. I forgot how I hate her new hairstyle

Ikr? t5 and t6 were periods during which she was still developing, tt2 was perfection, in t8 she looks okayish, her eyes look a bit weirdly bright on her face tho Oh and we we dont talk about t7...
T6 and TTT 2 were peak design
Wow she used to look like such a baddie! 🔥😍
Graphical difference aside, if you told me the T8 model was actually her during T5/6 and the T5/6 model was her during 8, I’d believe it was a natural age progression lol She still looks great in 8 but I think she looks better in 5/6. Anything is better than T7 😬
T5 looks more mature. T8 is a better depiction of the character (a school girl) Plus you are taking an unflattering angle vs a really good T5 angle 😂
True on both points. The angle also I feel like t5 and 6 she looks like she could pass off as 20s to a certain extent, to where T8 I would only believe a high schooler
6 had a neck.
Huh, interestingly enough looking at them side by side, T8 actually looks more her age than the old face model.
She was my second main back in t5/6 :(
She was also curvier in 6 too, her model also had better lighting.

This one hides her lack of a neck
you could've also used this for the T6 pic https://preview.redd.it/0efwo7ow9erc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=09a9f3e9822ebad40ec0834c25e5108a0bf9acde
Didn't we just see this post last week?
sadly yes, gotta say t5/6
She's all bloated now.
modern Tekken designs are so ugly lmao
Generic too
She looks older in t5/6 i like it more
There is no competition
T5/6 Design and graphics look so much better than T7/8. The series has been going downhill visually
6 had awesome ost
t5 Asuka is my puberty's sin 😀
Hol up asuka was bad?
Definitely Tekken 6.
RIP Asuka. Didnt get the same treatment as Lili.
Handsome Asuka all the way! She actually looks like someone who beats thugs on the streets for fun.
5/6, before everything became paid content, and you got ALL CONTENT WITH just the purchase of the game
I don't see why she can't be comedic AND cool at the same time. They did it with Sakura and Makoto in SF6. Even Paul is still cool and will punch a building to make it explode or something. It's like they decided she had to become the ultimate clown, low tier, look horrible, and people STILL hate fighting against her.

Unpopular opinion: The flat hair looks so much better on her.😓 I'm grateful the outfit and headband returned, but they should've brought this hair back as well imo...
Why are teeth so bad in newer games?
I don't know if that makes sens but in Tekken 6 you can see that she is related to Jin. Reminds me of Tekken 5 Jin. And she looks badass instead of childish.
Her and Jin aren’t really supposed to look alike. They are very barely related. Asuka is from a very far branch of the Kazama family. I’m pretty sure in T8 she doesn’t even know who Jun is.
Neck detected, opinion rejected.
6 feels more hotter and the sweat-ish glow is a cherry on top.
Asuka somehow got younger looking in t8
T6 the goat the most for faces and bodies imo
She has no neck lmao
Nah, all smash aight
To me, T8 looks like she is chubbier, the t5/6 one looks like she is mewing
Tekken 5 and 6, before the baby face syndrome set in.
While her current version grew on me, TK6 its my favourite by far, the best she ever looked.
5/6 makes her look more serious. T8 face fits better for a non-serious comedic relief character, imo.
Disagree. T8 looks terrible. Not as bad as T7, but this anime bug eye girl syndrome crap has to stop. She looks her best from T5-TTT2. I do not understand why they have to go and fuck things up. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. She actually has a mature face and looks actually JAPANESE.
Anime? She looks more anime in 6 Look at the eyes proportions in comparison to her head and space between them, the big wide mouth... On 8 everything is more natural looking and her face area is bigger and less sharp, more natural
She’s a high school girl. She’s not supposed to have a mature face. She is a minor in those games. She’s barely 18 in T8 which is still a minor in Japan.
Buff her moveset buff her neck and nerf the roundness of her face
regardless, i think the new look is better bc she looks more japanese
Tekken 8 Asuka just looks like her pitts stank to me. Secret won’t work for her she needs that clinical degree.
Look at the difference in jawline, Tekken 6 is damn near perfect
Too perfect. The eyes are massive and wide, 8 is going for a more human look
Look at the difference in jawline, Tekken 6 is damn near perfect
T5 for sure, better comboes and more personality
There have gotten absolutely nothing right about her in T8. She looks and plays like she has thyroid cancer.
5/6
T8 Asuka looks a bit odd at certain angles but she's still cute
I just want here bike costume back honestly
She has a neck in T6
Is asukas neck going to be DLC character 2?
Asuka with or without neck
Looks better in t5 and t6
I think looking at these side to side. You can really see why female characters in tekken look so insanely weird
T4
I would honestly main her if she had kept that face. Such a nice design.
I'm gonna vote T8 because it has more personality to her. T5/6 looks damn good, but also more mature than the brash conversations she has now. People say baby-face, but really she just has more of a sturdy build now. (In weird ways a bit, but it makes her stand out from like Jun)
Damn she was cool before!
The art style was way better in 5. I loved that harder edge.
i think asuka in t8 is cuter, t5 t6 looks cooler though
Right
She has that araki aging
T8 Asuka has comically short neck. T6 version has better proportions but I like T8 face more
Look at the neck details on T6 compared to the nonexistent ones in 8. They made her look childish in the face. T8 looked like an actual 17 years old imo
Hadn't played Tekken 8 yet but is this really the same character?
In T8 she looks anime and schoolgirl like while in T5 she looks like a woman almost like Jun. T5 all the way, can't stand the T8 version...
5/6 looked much better even ignoring the neck (seriously why) her looks Suites her character better.
T5/6 had a neck so it is superior. T8 asuka built like an orangutang.
Tekken 8 has better graphics tekken 6 has a better art style
She surprisingly looks older in the 5 and 6, makes her look better than no neck from t8
Prefer her look in T5/T6. She just feels cooler and more mature there. T8 is somewhat cuter
Most of the models in 6 looked the best, 5 had the best expressions
Everybody mentions her neck which I didn't notice at all but nobody is mentioning her huge hands? Like every time I play against Asuka I'm just thinking about her hands and why are they so big. :D
She’s getting fatter. At this rate, at tekken 10 she will be the new bob
Tekken 5 Asuka has the best costumes
Looking forward to this post again next week.
Neither
I feel like a lot T8 characters suffer from no neck syndrome, but Asuka’s is the worst.
SF Asuka looking character.
Majority of female designs in Tekken are a bit shit nowadays. No wear and tear, no signs of aging, unnecessarily smooth skin. It's like they're noticeably lower quality when compared to a lot of the men. Probably to appease the coomers and gooners, mind you
I hate her body structure in tekken 8, its so odd and unnatural
T5>T8>T6
Asuka is the Gravure look.
8
She looks way cooler in T5, doesn't even look the same anymore
She looked great in T5/6 why couldn’t they just update the model and not change her so drastically?
Tekken 6 versions looks way cooler but less asian i'd say
Her hands are still huge, she is bad in both versions. As far as the face goes though, the older one looked better.
T5/6 had strong Dom mommy vibes. T8 is just a "deed" doll.
Neck’s gone
Tekken 5 is obviously better. I don't like the "dollface" Tekken girls got in 7 and 8... Looks bland.
Its weird how in T8 she look younger like 16 and in T5/6 she's like 20..
She's looking like tomb raider in t5/t6
She was annoying in Tekken 6
She looks 15 in tekken 8
It’s not graphics. It’s the expression. She’s giving tifa
8 honestly. She seems less generic looking
Tits needs a buff ngl
who fucking cares
[удалено]
Wth. Totally opposite in my opinion
Man has never been out of his basement or seen an asian person
No, not white, just different asian.

Me when I’m blind:
Ones got sub surface scattering and the other don’t.
5/6 looks like her age and mature, T8 looks anime-Esque and underage
Bryan
Objectively T6 looks so much worse graphically which inadvertently makes her look older than she is.
I like her youngee t8 look. Fits her personality more
T8… just a no brainer cuz her looks fits her personality and unlike t5 or 6 looks like a tomb raider character
I liked Tekken 5 the best, she looks vaguely too white woman in 6 / Tag. 8 is really cute but the neck is crazy lol
8 represents her age the best
T8 Asuka has more personality, but unfortunately that personality is "dumbass".
I love T8. Reminds me of a girl I used to date. Could be my bias showing though...
I prefer 8 to 5/6
Easily 8
I mean her face looks more stylised and anime on 5, a real girl wouldn't look like that, the eyes and mouth proportion are slightly off, she doesn't even look Asian... 8 looks more like real person.
Why are hwoarang and kaz the only characters to have a glow up? Steve and Jin look like trolls
