So, talking about T7, i'll pick two of the characters you mentioned and get into specifics: Asuka and Josie.
I agree they share some similarities. Both young, pretty and as AAK has shown, body types are pretty similar. There are also a lot of differences. Josie -does- have some different proportions, a smaller head and longer limbs and neck (It's that Mari Shimazaki design). Also different facial features. A different voice, and they speak a different language. Different skin tone. A whole different outfit. Different fighting style and stance and such. Different demeanour. Pretty obvious that's a whole lot of differences.

How would one get up to 60-80% the same? That's (much) more the same than different. The same in many respects? They're the same in a few, sure. Homogenous? Maybe in part i guess.. ? They're both young, pretty females.. ? That seems an extremely broad brush to paint with.
Personally i'd say they are much more different than the same though. I'd say no one would confuse them with another, even for a short time. I'd say those claims are exaggerated. (Have been saying too. What am i up to now, four essays? My post history is gonna look weird <.< )

There's the 'childish behaviour' thing, sure. Talking exclusively about T7, how has Asuka shown any childish behaviour? Do we even know anything about that? I understand you feel she has before. Perhaps it will not be so bad this time? Characters have changed (see Paul for example).
Even if it won't be, is how Asuka acted in the past -really- that much the same as how one of the others has? Say Lili. Isn't their demeanour supposed to be opposite to eachother? I understand you don't like their rivalry but that's neither here nor there.
And how has Josie shown childish behaviour? Yes, she cries after winning. So do many grown men after winning in the UFC. (This well-known guy did.) Fighting can be an emotional business. Crying is not childish in itself. She hasn't shown much else that's so childish, has she? And none of the other characters you mentioned do the crying thing either, not much straight overlap there. Does she really act the same as Asuka?

I just don't see the mentioned characters being -that much- the same. Haven't seen much conclusive to support that view either. Broad generalizations don't really do the job. It would have to be specifics. i understand i'm asking too much here, don't really expect a huge retort or anything at all. But I hope i at least tried to outline decently how your statements raise questions with me. I'd best leave it at this.

You're over-analyzing things. Eventhough these young female characters have their obvious differences. I can say that they are way different in design and character compared to more matured women like anna, nina and julia.

Lol. Maybe would have worked better before they chubbed up her face in Tekken 7.

All jokes aside, I am happy to see facial hair customizations returning, whatever the form. Those were sorely missed in Tekken tag 2. Now where is Law's mustache?

Although that seems to be a full van dyke. I wonder if it's a variant, or just an evolution of his old mustache.

Either way, happy to see customizations in Tekken 7 getting something right for once.

Edit: oh man, Paul's new facial hair is amazing

Leo was always a guy until people from the west for some reason thought it was a girl. So they retconned Leo into a girl in Tag 2 and said Leo stands for Elenor which makes no sense. Now they retconned Leo back into a guy it seems. I prefer guy Leo. Leo as a girl does nothing for me.

Leo was a girl in T6.0. MarkMan confirmed it.

For T6 Console version, the Japanese story mode text used a gender neutral pronoun in her epilogue and prologues. For the US version they defaulted the pronouns to male since the English language doesn't have gender neutral pronouns when referring to people (unless you wanted to refer to Leo as "it"). T6 BR Leo could also equip pigtails which was only reserved for the female cast.

TTT2 Namco confirmed her gender again as being a female.

Right now it's pretty much Leo getting hormone therapy and gaining that facial hair.

Hey, they only showed Leo's boobs in Tag2 and that's not canon. :p

Harada had some UE4 presentation but I don't get some of the slides.

Some regular photoshop shit:

Tag2 with next gen effects? What's with the water splash on Kazuya's electric? Sparks on dragon kick? What are they showing off? Real stuff or photoshop skills?

Lol, what a nothing announcement. We all knew it would come to PS4 eventually. But there was no new content shown and no release date given.

I sure hope that's not what MarkMan was talking about when he said this'd be good month for Tekken fans. I mean, the facial hair is cool an all, but come on.

The console part was so set in stone it passed over my head as news and was looking for the announcement after it.
Even PC would have been news.
smh
