Yoshimitsu revealed for Tekken 7.

Brilliant, not sure how I feel about those new supers and those camera angles, but in Harada I trust.

Camera angles are just for special instances. Certain powerful hits, grabs, and of course, the supers. Oh, and when two hits come close to connecting at the same time, you get slow-mo.
 
Pretty weird. It reminds me of something, but I can't remember what. Oh jesus I know what it is. It was a weird monster girl hentai picture my buddy sprung on me a long time ago. Some weird alien girl with head tentacles and a vagina on the back of its head.

Aha, "'head vagina' monster girl" turned it up. It's called a zanburg apparently. I strongly recommend against looking it up.
 
so he's an alien now?

I thought I'd hate it but I actually like it. The head tentacles look more like horns tbh which makes it look cool to me. And he's got board shorts just like T3 Yoshimitsu (which is one of my favorite costumes for him) which is a nice bonus

FYI, this is his best design. from SCV

Soul_Calibur_V_13215668953619.jpg

Not the best but it'd be Top 3 for me
 
P1 was. P2 was garbagio.

Yes.

I feel like both Tekken and Soul Calibur have gone down the shitter in terms of art since the very first couple of games. I can't even recognize the series these days. The old designs had a lot more charm.

There are times when I think that some franchises began to go down a rather skeevy path when technology allowed developers to put more and more detailed shit on screen. Simplicity doesn't have to be a bad thing (even if Yoshimitsu kind of needs to be "out there").
 
I like yoshi new design .. it looks like it play the same , but with different timings for the follow-ups. The super attack was kinda lame IMO , lacked destruction even if it was somehow stylish ..but it didn't resonate within me.
As much as i like the character , looks like it won't be my main.
 
Fuuuuuuuck! What a great thing to wake up to. Somehow, this is just what I wanted to see. Especially after playing Bloodborne. My man, Yoshi living up to that crazy constantly changing design each game,. Love it.


Tekken 1-6 (including Tag 1) If anyone has similarly taken shots of his Tekken Tag 2 P1 and P2 costume, please share!

Love his new design, very much. And yes, he reminds me of that villain from Super Sentai. And I also get a flash of that one guy from onimusha 3, as stated before.
 
Reasons why i don't like it:

- I always saw him as a robotic, armory kinda guy
- How the fuck is he supposed to move his sword around without cutting one of his tentacles. It doesn't make sense... He spins around faster than a kid in Disneyland... how would he not touch his tentacles at some point... sigh

Exactly. Selective complaining. The boxing Kangaroo and Raptor don't bother ya, but the alien demon ninja man's tentacle covered body does.

Oh my god that's totally it. He's a Zanburg now.
 
takomitsu

This made me chuckle more than it should :P

I like the design, it's a bit strange with the tentacles but that's one thing that always made Yoshimitsu unique in Tekken, you never know what he will look like :D Wonder how a friend of mine who semi-mains Takomitsu will react to it.
 
Fuck off with this shit.

Spoilers for whoever hasn't played Bloodborne.

Mods fixed it.

takomitsu

Catchy!

I don't think that's changed since Tekken 6, even here. Not that you can't praise it, it just seems strange. It's been like that for 7-8 years

Ah, my bad, it's probably been that long since I played the series. I had kept up with the look but that was about it.

Google image search for "octopus samurai" gives some awesome results:

One alternate bonus costume that doesn't get brought up a lot is this one from 5.

I thought it was rather fascinating.
 
Always one of my favourite things to look forward to when there's a new Tekken or Soul Calibur game. This one's pretty ace! Freaky as hell, but that's Yoshimitsu for ya. I wonder what his alternative costume will be like... For the record, my favourites are all the Tekken 5 costumes and his Soul Calibur V costume.
 
the best thing about character reveals for tekken is not just if your character is going to be in but how they make yoshimistu look and this might be my favorite.
I don't know yet I need to see him in action more.
for the moment t4 is my favorite
 
This is random, but I just wanted to share. I always imagined Yoshimitsu as a kind of demon/alien, but more in the sense of him being interdimensional like the
Great Ones in Bloodborne
, not "flying saucer" type. He possessed a human body, that is not sufficient enough to sustain him. Thus, with Dr B's help in many instances, switches bodies whenever he is in need of it, or something superior comes around. Which explains his often cyborg appearances, or straight up large biological predatory creatures.


And then, maybe he is confronted by all of his old bodies in a massive showdown ala the final battle of The Bride versus the Crazy 88 in Kill Bill.

I apologize for my fannon. Anyway, for sure we know Yoshi in Tekken is not completely human. And that there are two Yoshi's in SC, with one being possessed in some form by the blade. And coincidentally, the blade consumed the second Yoshi's right half, leaving him with a mechanical arm/half like the present Yoshi 9which may not even be the case for the present one, since at least Tekken 3.

 
I suppose this isn't the first time they've gone for an octopus/squid-like design.

Although that was Soul Calibur.
 
Why does Yoshi change forms so radically each iteration?

What's that about?

No idea, but this one is the ugliest by farm IMO.
He looked really nice in Tekken 2 and that's how I'll always remember him.
Not that fond of Namco's design these past years (started with SC, I think SC4).
