Gentlemen! Apologies for not uploading in almost two weeks. Had a lot on my plate for a while there! Hope you're all doing well and with some luck we got some more cool trailers soon. Apparently the next one is Kuma though which is sad. Not too exciting. And Devil Jin is the last one! Steve's face and voice might be fixed through modders at this point to be honest.

The voice actor hasn't changed since previous titles. It's not his fault, it's the director.

[@drongodyle3156]

​@@elitefortniteplayer177 Gideon Emory has been voicing Steve for 15 years without any noteworthy complaints before T8. I think it's safe to say it's the voice directors fault.

[@allbies]

People definitely had complaints before T8. At least as an Englishman to me the voice has always sounded like the direction was 'pretend to be a non-English person doing a bad English accent'. It's so off and has been forever.@@drongodyle3156

[@KingOfXB0XLive]

@@elitefortniteplayer177it’s the same guy from Tekken 6, Tag 2 and even SF x Tekken. He was always great as Steve, this is a fuck up on the director here

[@angryii5411]

I agree, it's like he recorded the lines from home or something

[@Dead-Lit]

The problem is Gideon Emery himself, who does not match the character of Steve Fox that they had already built since Tekken 5. If you listen to Steve Fox from Streef Fighter x Tekken, who was fully dubbed by Gideon, his voice sounds even worse and there it was just the Capcom directors who were in charge.

[@couldbeaname5138]

I really like the voice actor but wish he was given better voice directions, he did much better job in previous games especially in SFxTK

[@goob8945]

Is this the same guy who did SFxTK?! His voice in that one was perfect, really great performance

That was a different guy. This is Steve's T6/TTT2 VA

The voice actor is awesome, such a good voice for Steve,. The "Let's go" at the start, and the burn for Hwoarang fit Steve perfectly. But the direction is definitely flawed. Not at ALL the VA's fault in any way though, and I think that's really important to get across.

For those who are criticizing his voice, It's the same VA since T6, his name is Gideon Emery, and it's not that he doesn't sound good, if you see his T6 endings and TT2 intro he actually sounds great, then you will realize that here VA is not bad but the Direction is.

[@King-pv8fk]

He does not sound good. In T6 he didn't sound good, he still doesn't sound good in T8. 1 tone voice and has no British accent even though the character is British.

The thing is Kazuya got nerfed and dumbed down so he got nothing in return. Steve in T8 has bad natural hit launchers but his b1 remains untouched which is very powerful for T8 standards.

[@pyscho86]

So Steve seems to love Belts, he wears like 7+ of them and 2 around his leg 1 around his neck. There are like 5+ belts included into his Jacket even. Is this some kind of a Joke? who is in charge of this absurdity? Its starting to feel like a mental illnes problem, go see a doctor. his voice remembered me of soul calibur "Maxi" the voice is totally fine .... its just the implementation which is bad.

[@Beforezzz]

Pretty much agree with everything. Gameplay looks great, dialogue with Hwoarang was surprisingly decent, but the voice lines, the choker, Steve's face and the way he expresses himself at the end is ultra corny. Not to mention whatever that awkward cartoon clash between him and Hwoarang was all about. Imagine seeing that animation in real time during any of the old Tekken games; that's right you can't. Overall if I were a Steve main, I'd feel 'meh' toward the way he was handled.

[@ButsMcgee]

None of you seen Steve's endings? This is how Steve sounds and acts with Paul and Law. I enjoy it. But they need to balance him out with more cool voice lines and not be full meme. Also are his lips decaying? And his forehead is so small. Namco can get Claudio Kazuya Leo and Asuka right. But how did they mess up Steve so badly? He looks awful, yikes.

[@Argedis]

Steve was always more serious though, sometimes cocky. But never this over the top 'street fighter' type.

[@SpectralSound.]

And yet,steve's va is not so cringe compared to tmm's forced laugh.now that is such a cringe laughter.

[@maaramori3404]

Steve sounds like an announcer, not the fighter. Especially the knockout line.

[@Camohflage]

the voice actor is actually really good. he voiced Balthier in Final Fantasy 12 which was for many the best character in every way. idk what was messed up here but somethings off

[@anthonywheeler2805]

Steve sounds like a virtua fighter character now

[@Ram2rol]

11:18 Lets not forget that recoverable health is a thing in T8, this no juggle combo might not do as much damage as what a full juggle combo might've done, but it won't build much, if any recoverable health. Maybe.

[@grantgarbour]

Since it's a standing combo it won't build any recoverable health. I feel like it might be buffed in some way in heat too but we don't know yet

[@Sykes.99]

5:49 tmm's scream accrately rapresents the inners of a boxer when he wins..so much true words, this Steve (as I said under the namco reveal trailer) looks lobotomized to me, hope they will give him something better, voice acting speaking, gameplay wise looks good

[@alexdano96]

I'm just glad mods exist for pc. The voice itself is not that bad I think, just the delivery and the lines are too generic and cringe. Also I bet they gonna fix his face in some mods too. But to be fair he looks perfectly fine while playing, so it's just bad angles

[@LucidFlameX]

I had literally posted a comment on how Steve looks good only at certain angles, and I got to where MainMan just voices it himself. Lol. I'll just say I'm looking forward to that Clinch and how it will work.

[@devilquake_]

The mixing/mastering sound team could have better blended the voice actor properly in the track with the rest of the music and sound effects. The voice is fine, but it doesn't blend properly in the context of the trailer.

[@kuirkiz]

They gotta remove the, "That's a knockout line" and "These are the fists of a champion!" Waaaaaaay too corny. He sounds cheesier than Paul. I think I'd enjoy a trash talking Steve considering he's a boxer and boxers usually trash talk each other to get the masses invested in the fight. Also that line he said to Hwoarang, love it.

[@FutureWorldX]

Steve looks to be a replacement for Bob based on the looks. Steve and Weight!

[@naiiin6949]

"Steve and weight" LMAO

[@IAMOP]

What he said at the start of the video lmao

[@lucastonoli3256]

My theory is fucked up normal map around the cheek bones area. It has like a weird glimmering/transparency that is noticeable at like 45° views of his face, and when he talks, especially while he is roasting that K-pop artist.

[@MJfp6lx]

😂😂 Tekken devs are like why work hard with Steve and Bryan and their complicated combos that barely do 40%. Here have Azucena Viktor Reina enjoy spamming. On a serious note though even if I'm not a Steve main the Steve matches in tournaments are most entertaining to watch and Steve players shouldn't get smacked in the face with further nerfs because even in tekken 7 the character barely shows up in competitive unless a Steve specialist shows up

[@danknstein6504]

This game is really gonna need the Street Fighter 5-style "fix ken and chun-li's fucked up faces" patch for a pretty solid chunk of the roster. Hopefully the hypothetical patched face actually looks GOOD and not just "somewhat less bad, still awful" like sf5 patched chun-li/ken. To emphasize, i'm still gonna play this game to hell and back, but i'm glad the community's no longer looking the other way. As much as I hate to say it, I think it's time we ask harada for shit. I'm not a doomer, i'm not burying t8, I just don't think we're asking a lot here. I think the steve players have suffered enough since the last round of nerfs in 7, but even if you disagree with that this is still all of our problem: we gonna see thousands of hours of this face on streams and in game for the next 10 years, lets not want to puke looking at it 😂 I'm glad people are complaining about it now, but paul, law, feng, and steve look like completely different people now. They are off-model as fuck and don't look like any prior version of themselves. There's an argument to be made that it's the hairstyles for paul and law, but paul new hair is both bad in isolation AND very out of character making it extra bad, and law looks like Romulan Liu Kang. I can't imagine those being the only design ideas they had for them but that's what we got. Feng got addicted to Bogdanoff surgery like that episode of Aqua Teen and steve just straight predator'd someone else's skull onto his body like dmc5 Nero. Murray lookin at sf6 luke hair like "OH THAT'S GOOD, WRITE THAT DOWN" and sent that shit to the paul designers. Why does he suddenly want to look like a tween who listens to mumble rap despite being in his 50s? Paul already had and resolved the "i'm old and washed up, who even am i anymore" crisis four games ago. It boggles the mind considering how good kazuya, jin, jack, p much all the ladies, and even gone-for-a-decade-ass raven and jun models look facially (like as in exactly like they should) but these models managed to make Feng "Intentionally Ugly Baki Pastiche" Wei's model too fucking ugly even by baki standards of such. I don't want Handsome Feng, I just want these guys i've been hanging out with for 20+ years who suddenly have different (worse) voices to at least LOOK like themselves even if they can't sound right. Please harada, murray, whoever: I know you can't revive dead voice actors, but you totally can fix feng's fucked up face.

Its the worst Steve look ever!"

Except it is. He ugly. When did he look worse? Also who gives a fuck to compare it to old ass games. Everyone's got T7 in mind when they think about what Steve should look and sound like.

Tekken 3 and 5 will always have special place in my heart, but this is not Tekken anymore. They went full anime BS since tekken 7 and T8 is even more anime than 7, i mean both art/character design and gameplay. Maybe anime fans will dig it, and pro players really don't care because their goal is to earn money. Quite sad tbh.

[@Perofgloves]

With a triumphant position at the end and everything, so far everything is fine with the trailer showing Nina's veteran fighter son, but... his face looks like buzz lightyear from the last movie, counter-punching paragon does the trailer really say?... well, his current face contradicts it a lot, if before Nina didn't want him... now with that pawpaw face with a wig... LESS , greetings🤣👍

[@terrain4132]

I have a theory the same artist that worked on Feng's head worked on Steve...😂 3:21 From what i can see his hair looks too squared on top, his forehead is too small. His ears are too far back giving the big cheek long jaw look and under his chin needs a little lipo. Does anyone remember the TTT2 trailer with Anna... she looked like a dude, however it was fixed by the time they launched the game. Meaning there's still hope.

[@Dead-Lit]

I hope you're right, but I don't really trust the developers to listen to criticism. Steve Fox must have been in the beta tests.

The writing of his lines are pretty wack - if he's this playful when he's fighting someone why not just have him do snarky and smart remarks like instead of "good night", have "having a nap are we?". Everything feels a bit bland and the line delivery just isn't there lol
