Yoshimitsu revealed for Tekken 7.

latest
xion lives on!
 
Tekken 3 version will always be my favorite.

I agree, but this a close second. I didn't care for his ghost samurai suit from T5 and TTT2. I like the silver suit and this. The octopus fits him well IMO.

I'd like to see Eddy next

yoshimitsu's style in T5 killed it for me. His moves felt different and everything. He wasn't about short jabs but jump ins and overheads.

yoshimitsu needs to feel grounded like he did in TTT1.
 
Hmm, I just checked my copy (literally in a drawer 4 feet away). There's no mention of him being a space ninja in the US Tekken Tag 1 manual.

Here's a picture of my copy. It must be the different for the PAL version.
I have no idea what it means by "None (originally from Japan)". Probably something to do with being human at some point.

Mine is similar, but only says "Yoshimitsu".

And rather than "point/place of origin" it says "nationality" which makes a little more sense. Nationalities can change.

I hope those 2 blue spots on top of his head are not supposed to be his eyes cos that would be dumb.

Nah, his "eyes" are under the red visor thing. They're just skeletal recesses though.

They could still be eyes somehow. He had 3 eyes in T5 so having 4 isnt a big deal. As long as the small ones down there are the main ones otherwise he might be from Kamen rider with the bug eyes.

I like the design overall but i would not mind a color swap to maybe Red and black but he might be too close to Gigas like that.

lol. "mechanical space ninja"
 
not really feelin it

Ah, but it's feeling you.

Well you'll be able to fiddle with the colors to your heart's content when the game hits home consoles.

Looking forward to it. I wanted him to be on the level of Tag 2 Yoshi where i did nothing to his default. I bet the arcade players will customize him in the most stupidest ways tho. I have to deal with pink Yoshi with fish in hand and a monocle for a few months.
 
I'm not a huge fan of this design, but I guess the only exposure to the character was in Soul Calibur II, so I'm not used to his design changing so drastically between games.

It's not too late to change your opinion...

I still like this default alot. Looks like an ancient warrior got awoken in modern times or something. Looks baller.
 
I have the t2 manual and he is uhm...some kind of bandit that got his hand cut lol. I guess they made him full cyborg later
 
I can't get jiggy with this shit. He looked baller as hell in 3. Especially that full suit alternate with the beam sword.
 
Tekken 3, Tag, and 5 are the best Tekken games. These newer games lost touch. The costumes in Tekken 7 are the worst in the series. I was hoping by now they would be dominating the fighting game scene.

Look at the intro on the ps2 game. Ps4 games look like this now. A Tekken game has no excuses not to be this cool.

Damn, that is some weird ass design for Yoshimitsu. Not sure why he's been getting more and more tentacles since Tekken 5.
