The amount of OP's lately with just a link. Come on guys a little effort!

Edit: Cropped properly and larger.

 

[Creaking]

yup

No.

In Soul Calibur, "Yoshimitsu" is more or less just a title. The name of the one who leads the manji clan and wields the "Yoshimitsu" sword.

 

[LiK]

FYI, this is his best design. from SCV

 

[DR2K]

That's not Nina or Anna.

 

[TheOGB]

Yo what the fuck, that new look is nuts haha

Spoiler

Soul Calibur V design still the best

 

[PureYeti]

Lol I will be mad if they didn't gave him a new design. This is crazy like his Tekken 4 costume.

 

[Neff]

It's probably trickery. He is a ninja after all.

Yeah, his sword's gotta be laced with something.

 

[entremet]

soooo he has to be an alien or a demigod or something, right?

Well they killed one Yoshi in SCV.

The Yoshimitsu is SCV is called Yoshimitsu 2. He decapitated his predecessor Highlander style.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Something I've never got, are the Yoshimitsu from Tekken and SoulCalibur supposed to be the same guy?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshimitsu

An ancestor of Yoshimitsu with the same name first appears in Namco's Soul series in 1998's Soulcalibur...... By the time of Soulcalibur V, the first Yoshimitsu has been ritually executed and succeeded by a younger, eerily similar protégé (hailing from Taki's Fûma village), who shares his fighting style, voice, mannerisms, and even his clockwork arm. This secret line of succession makes "Yoshimitsu" appear immortal to outsiders and is implied to continue into modern times with the Tekken incarnation of the character.

Kind of....

Something I've never got, are the Yoshimitsu from Tekken and SoulCalibur supposed to be the same guy?

yup

No. Yoshimitsu is just a title of the leader of the Manji Clan, it's not the same guy. Hell, iirc the Yoshimitsu in Soul Calibur 1-4 is different from the Yoshimitsu in Soul Calibur 5. So i'm sure that the one in Tekken is different too.

i know

 

[RK9039]

He should use octopus ink instead of the poison breath now.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

That is... one heck of a design

 

[Numb]

The amount of OP's lately with just a link. Come on guys a little effort!

You don't even need to crop properly!

Somehow looks like someone threw an octopus at him and its hanging around his chest and head. Like he is wearing an octopus if you look him from the front.

 

[Brazil]

He looks bizarrely awesome.

 

[nynt9]

Kinda looks like a Warframe. I like it.

Was gonna say this, very Warframe

 

[jbttwin]

Ok but where's Nina and Ganryu

 

[boredandlazy]

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

Game is back on my radar now.

Spoiler

Not that they were going to cut him or anything, but confirmation is nice.

 

[Creaking]

i know

Then why did you provide FALSE information on the INTERNET!?

I mean, how could you?

He should use octopus ink instead of the poison breath now.

Well his breath did leave a stain on opponents in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

 

[entremet]

I'm curious at his P2 costume now.

 

[Creaking]

I'm curious at his P2 costume now.

No P2 costumes for anyone because a bad selection of generic customizations apparently makes them redundant.

 

[Numb]

Ok but where's Nina and Ganryu

Nina has the biggest chance of getting in out of all the the characters not revealed yet and Ganryu has the least. I have a feeling he might be in tho.
I still can't believe Mokujin has not been announced. He is weird but even a phantom slot would be cool.

 

[SDBurton]

Oh boy, the doujinshi are going to be awesome.

Was expecting this. Can leave satisfied.

 

[entremet]

Wat?!

Is this the first time they're doing this?

 

[scarlet]

he's gone tentacle monster.

We're gonna see a hentai about this aren't we?

 

[LiK]

We're gonna see a hentai about this aren't we?

i'm expecting some in 24 hours after this reveal.

what if it's because of the return of the Tekken 4 version of Combot

 

[SDBurton]

His arms and legs are giving me some AoT vibes. :lol

The days of getting a unique looking P2 character are over.

I can see Yoshi in Splatoon as dlc. Tag 2 was on Wii U so T7 might be too.

 

[Creaking]

Wat?!

Is this the first time they're doing this?

Tekken Tag 2 was similar, though that had the excuse of having to provide for 60+ characters.

And that did have "alts" but they were ugly customs slapped together and called "official".

Tekken 6 had them, so I'd figure they be back in the main series.

 

[Numb]

Combot is a dude we wil never hear from again. I was shocked to see him in Tag 2 even though it was supposed to be a dream match where everyone was game.

 

[foxuzamaki]

If there ever was any doubt that yoshi wasent human before...

LOL

 

[Creaking]

Harada said on twitter that alts don't make "sense" when they've got customizations. But the customization system and offerings are currently weaker than Tekken 6 too.

It's all rather annoying.




Anyone else see this as kind of a more "organic" take on his Tekken 6 costume?

 

[Arjac]

God I loved the premise of Tag 2 Combot

 

[Neff]

Some of the 'alt' customs in TTT2 were pretty elaborate (not to mention specific to characters), so I think we'll be alright.

I admit though I would like an option to disable random CPU customs to prevent more characters from looking like

 

[Two Words]

Tekken 3 Yoshinitsu is still the best looking Yoshimitsu. This one is cool too.

 

[Kyzon]

Namu Namu Namu!!!!!


My boy!

 

[Bishop89]

My 2nd Main...

God I love this design.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Already see the fan art that is going to come out of this. 😝

 

[benzy]

 

[Americanmushroom]

Wait, the fuck is that?

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Awesome design. Up there with Tekken 4 Yoshi

It does seem to look like that.

God I loved the premise of Tag 2 Combot

Fighting Combot online is one of the craziest things. You can never know what move he will use. Especially if you fight those guys that use multiple Combots.

 

[Creaking]

Only the guest-designed alts really. There were... what, 6 of those?

 

[abstract alien]

That's the best design so far for me. I'd nearly given up on the game to be honest, but I guess I can play with King and Yoshi now.

 

[eyeball_kid]

So...Yoshi's been moonlighting as a sushi chef, eh?

I don't see any radical changes to his moves, though I don't main Yoshi.

 

[popyea]

I don't really like it. I've been okay with most of the different versions, but this one is awful to me. Looks like if Yoshimitsu was a guest character in Anarchy Reigns.

So were people really not sure if Yoshi was an alien or not? I always thought he was since he had the denomination of Space Ninja. I assumed that didn't mean he was an astronaut.
