When Okano was first revealed to have a very fresh gymnastics background, I was lowkey expecting her to have a similar fighting style as Lili from Tekken 😶

[eboni-napalm]

me, playing Tekken 8 and seeing that "Angel Jin" is now a thing:

[marshmallowloves]

Cecil: ...How the hell do you know about that?! Yoshimitsu: I, too, occasionally enjoy the wonders of the internet! Cecil: And you watch Dashie?? Yoshimitsu: I like it when he says "the homie Yoshi."

never in my life will I be good at drawing Yoshi in any of his costumes. but I'm still gonna make stupid shit like this anyway djfkg

Yoshimitsu canonically has "surfing the internet" as one of his hobbies in the Tekken 3 manual so I think he would know about memes and lets plays and such. but Tekken 3 came out in 1996 so I also think it would be surprising to hear him reference something modern and not like. hamster dance or whatever

(also his text says "100cc" but I spelled it out because I think it's funnier that way dkjfg)

finished watching all the mk games' story modes and characters' arcade prologues and endings.

astounding how even with the phenomenal production value, sheer artistry on display, and more or less good script writing, the nrs era games were such a bore to get through. maybe mk9 is the exception as that one had a tighter story with an ending that capped off on what the opening showed.

still, it feels like mk has lost that charming experimental feel it had in the midway era. even with the mixed results those games had, they never felt identical to each other. each one offered something that the others didn't have.

it feels like the nrs era, following the success of mk9, just stuck with that formula for the story presentation and over time exacerbated its flaws.

seriously, at point i was just skipping gameplay sections just to get the cutscenes (and tbh those cutscenes got WAYYY too long) and when that happens, when a viewer/gamer doesn't feel immersed enough to engage with the game as a game, then there's something seriously wrong in the formula.

not that it's all bad, there's a reason these games became so beloved by the casual audience.

mk9 was good for the most part, even if it had many unnecessary fights, weird power scaling, and the antagonists being all losers in these fights (I'm still not over stryker's chapter like damn why did they have him beat reptile, mileena, kintaro AND ermac back to back that's ridiculous if they wanted to introduce him like "you have much potential" like nightwolf says maybe just have him beat one of them. now I can't even take them seriously).

mkx did a good job with the introduction of so many new characters, even if I couldn't bring myself to care about any of them. it also reduces the feel of some fights feeling unnecessary or over misunderstandings that mk9 had. unfortunately, this game negated the whole point of having a reboot in the first place, placing us right back in messy, consulted storylines and too many characters and subplots that the overall story loses focus. i still think the lin kuei mission/test was the perfect set up to introduce frost to the kombat kids team as she would bring an interesting dynamic to the team.

mk11 is where it hits rock bottom for me, not only is the story too long and slow-paced, especially with the addition of aftermath. it's just... it's nothing. i struggle to think of any positives besides the amazing visuals and character designs. this is where the series become too concerned with making a movie-like experience rather than a video game one so that might also influence my feelings on it. the handling of characters like scorpion's death and sindel's retcon left me feeling too bitter to appreciate their subplots. even noob saibot's appearance didn't excite me as much as I would have thought :\

mk1/mk12 was much more entertaining than 11, it had the tall order of introducing a new continuity/setting and the re-imagined characters, and I feel it did okay for the most part. it still had most of mk11's issues but they were limited due to the smaller caste. too bad that the story caught fire and fell flat on itself when it entered the multiverse segment of the story. it was unnecessary and only trivialized the current story further. it would have been better to just have it be two timelines, liu kang's and shang tsung's, and have the final battle be between our heroes (the characters whom we spent the whole story building) and shang tsung's timeline counterparts. maybe this way we would have less awkward stair fights with surreal character abominations.

overall, it was alright. i just hope in the future they abandon the one or two characters per chapter formula as it's more detriment to the story than anything else. maybe also stay away from special forces, like man I know racism is a given with these games since the begging but all these references are making me cringe every time.

Hwoarang gameplay reveal trailer!!

Project X Zone Kazuya literally has so much more character in his personality than canon did. Like, come on, I need to see this man show his emotion more and not just be grumpy and frown for 24/7 straight 😂😭🙏

[eels-eels-eelsrobot]

Today was a pretty awful day for me all around but I did finish the Spiderman videogame. I rarely finish video games at all so finishing one so big is really special to me. My grandma has a decoration that says "there is always, Always, something to be thankful for". I saw that decoration first thing when I got back from my grandfather's funeral and almost half a year later it's still getting me through things.

Lidia in tekken 8 first impressions. still as fun as she was in 7 to me, and tbh some of her tools are easier to use.

The QCF 2 string doesnt require a back forward input before the 1+2 at the end which is nice.

Seems like political storm has less inputs and is a heat engager which makes sense.

In general some of her moves require less inputs. for instance red tape auto does the extra attack on counter hit instead of having to manually confirm 2 if you get the counter.

She did lose her degen down 3 kick string for that easy quick high low mix and the 1 1 into stance which is a lil sad, but all her new stuff more than makes up for it.

Im over the moon she's back. i put a lot of time into her at the end of 7 and resigned my fate to never get her back. The main is in fact back tho.

Time to make an updated post on the Guilty Gear artwork I've made up to this point!

First things, gotta include Bridget and Elphelt since these were made this year in 2023. Baiken, Testement, and Giovanna were done back in 2022. I think I'd like to do a Jack-O illustration at some point, and a friend of mine wants to help fund a Ramlethal print, so those might be coming up in the future at some point.

I've made some updates to the chibis as well to include a handful of the male cast! A few noteworthy mentions include an Axl that was inspired by an animation that my friend DoovadHohdan made, a Potemkin that works as a Pot Buster when you use it as a sticker on another sticker, as well as the husbandos in general being paired with plushies of their partners (well, missing Nago and Elphelt because that wasn't a thing at the time)

A little after the Elphelt illustration I also made an Elphelt chibi as well! This one will be double-sided once I convert it to a charm~

Finally, a sneak peak at something that isn't Strive related...well, not yet, at least (maybe). Here's a value comp for an ABA illustration I'm working on based on her Accent Core design! Hoping she makes it into Strive at some point.

I might want to explore doing some Accent Core related artwork in the future. Accent Core is a lot closer to the point of when I first got into the series in my middle school/highschool days, and there are some designs from the older games that are still hecking rad. Plus the music is awesome :D

It's kind of funny; I have to confess that I actually don't play Strive. Truth be told, the GGST movement and limited combo structure never clicked with me when the game first came out (and I was always more of a 3D fighter guy for gameplay with games like Tekken and Soul Calibur). And even though I am pretty sure I would actually thoroughly enjoy playing I-No and Elphelt with the season 3 changes, I just don't really do as much gaming these days since I'm more enamored with making art (and a few other things like biking). Plus I'm kind of just waiting for Tekken 8 at this point (dear god I hope the online is good just this one time god).

But as an artist? You bet your butt I hecking love coming back to Guilty Gear. I've been a fan of the series since the early 2000s (back when I stumbled across an abandonware PC version of Guilty Gear X and became sold on the series). The characters from this series check a lot of boxes for things I love to draw, from the way they are designed and all of their classic rock references all the way down to their zany personalities and backstories. And I feel like Guilty Gear is really special in this regard for me. Even though I'd rather play other fighting games (like Tekken or maybe even SF6), Guilty Gear is probably the one fighting game fandom I want to do art of the most.

If you are a Guilty Gear fan stumbling across this art collection post, hope you are enjoying the art! I will enjoy the series vicariously through you as I get back to working on some Tekken 8 artwork for Frosty Faustings, lmao. And if you're someone who is new to the series, give Strive a try! It's neat and the characters are great.

My dearest enemy

I admit, despite being a certified tumblr user, I can be very thick when it comes to ships. I just never... see them, even though everyone else speaks as if they were obvious.

And it took me three games to start to see this one. Because ever since Lili got introduced, to me she just came across as the annoying bastard who thinks she can walk on everyone because she comes from money. And let's be clear: she is. But I thought that's all there was to her character. She'd get on Asuka's nerves, and she'd get her comeuppance. End of story.

But Lili is... singuraly determined on pushing Asuka's buttons. Strictly speaking, based on their interactions, she doesn't even seem to be necessarily stronger than Asuka. What I think is happening, what I don't think I was equipped to understand back in 2009 when she was first introduced, is that she's crushing on the girl and, coming from a probably disfunctional family, never learned how to display affection in a non-toxic way.

And I think it's rubbing off Asuka by Tekken 8. I like Asuka because she's simple and straightforward, she's the kind of person who struggles with the advanced concept of "ulterior motives", and takes everything as face value. Frankly, I can relate. So of course all she takes away from Lili's interactions is that she sucks.

And yet... For someone who apparently hates her guts, Asuka ends up spending a whole lot of time with Lili. Sure she'll bitch and moan, and she'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming, but in plenty of cutscenes in Tekken 8 the two of them are shown together. And while Asuka isn't exactly doting on Lili, what I think happened is she grew used to her attention and company, to how she filled every day with her teasing, making her pokes a habit more than an annoyance. She legitimately misses her when she's not around.

And it's entirely possible she hasn't even realized it herself.

And... well, that's it. That's probably what everyone else had already figured out 15 years ago when Lili was first introduced. But hopefully this insight into the mind of somebody who is too dumb to understand ships was at the very least educational.

Random, useless Tekken headcanons, this time not at 6 am, but still, part 2.

• Xiaoyu and Jin cuddle obviously, but he's very awkward and clunky about it, and she's SOOO clingy (he doesn't care at all, he loves her so much).

• Kazuya had a childhood blanket that he's hidden away somewhere. He had it as a baby and after Kazumi died, it was his clutch. Until he got older and Heihachi tried to make him throw it out, so he lied and kept it very hidden - and eventually, as a 50 year old, he had it tucked away, safely somewhere, and sometimes brought it out in his giant shoe room, just to have some privacy and a little support with it. (I know it sounds weird, but I love giving my comfort characters as much comfort as possible 😭)

• Adding onto childhood endeavors with my favs, I think Jun used to crochet and knit all the time as a child, to pass the time :(. But when she started going out into the forest more, greeting the animals, she was knitting for them!! She would make scarves or little blankets and cuddle up with them all, and I still think she does. She and Kazuya go out into the hills or forest and she knits or crochets, while he tries to be gentle with the animals, and that's their downtime...

• Bruce Irvin and Anna Williams are the only 2 people Kazuya considers friends, and even then, he doesn't like that term, he considers them 'close acquaintances'... He's been out to restaurants and bars with them many times before. He and Anna Williams have a platonic relationship - even if it seems she's flirting with him all the time, I believe that she is his best friend and it's the like joking flirting kind of thing.

• Feeding off of that one, Tekken 2: Jun and Anna were besties!!! They met and would gossip and go shopping, and I hope Anna returns in 8 so I can see my girls together again.

• Bruce Irvin's bisexual with a heavy male lean. I love him, please ALSO come back to 8...

• Lee and Lars practically took Jin under their wing, but I believe Jin lives primarily with Lee - and Lee loves to baby his 'most excellent nephew' a bit. Not like baby-baby, Jin's a grown man, but give him a little comfort. Like if Jin's having an off day (which I think happens a lot, just thinking about how he is with the Mishima side, or him thinking about Jun and missing her). Lee sits him down, makes him tea or a meal and just holds him or sits with him for company... (I LOVE UNCLE LEE HEADCANONS.)

• This is more of an interpretation, but still a headcanon: I think Reina's relation to the Hachijo clan, is that she's a distant cousin of Kazuya. Because Kazuya is technically a part of that clan, as he's Kazumi's kid. So I think maybe one of her siblings had a baby before Heihachi killed them, and he took Reina in... Good to know he doesn't kill infants but will throw a barely past toddler off a cliff 🤔

• Steve Fox isn't trying to get Nina to be his mom, which is what I see a lot of, it's hard to explain... It's him trying to redeem her as a person, not a mom. But I do think he cares deeply for Nina...

• Adding onto that, Anna found out she was his aunt and took him shopping because she felt bad...

• Jin used to sleep on Jun's floor as a teenager. Like she'd be asleep, and he'd come in with his blankets and pillows, throw them on the ground and sleep in there, just to feel his mama's presence.

• Kazuya and Lee obviously treated one another as rivals growing up, but I think they had a trustful bond as teenagers. Like, if one had a secret that would either get them killed or they could NEVER spill around Heihachi, the other would keep it for eternity. They HATED one another, but they were both trying to survive the same threat.

• Lars takes time every morning to style each and every point in his hair. Like the Mishimas got crazy hair, but I know damn well they STYLE it like that. As proven by Heihachi having his down in Tekken 8 -

• ADDING ONTO THAT: THEIR HAIR IS LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR WEIRD POWERS OF ELECTRICITY. They style it like that because it always finds a way to stick up...

• Paul Phoenix is only that stupid because he was hit on the head so many times. Not saying he was a genius before, but he's got some bad brain damage. Like he's not super stupid, he's just... Got some troubles.

• Bryan Fury has a super, mega crush on Dragunov, nothing can change my mind. 'Deeply admires', okay bud...

• Dragunov's favorite color is hot pink, that's why he collects the hot pink army vehicles. Love a Barbie kinda guy. I also believe Dragunov wears lipstick and eyeliner, there is no way his lips are naturally almost black...
