[@dark_nightwing_xl2797]

@@romiarkan450yes but it oooks clean tho

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Soul Calibur pioneered the display of full body 3d models early on, then MK popularized it in the past generation with a stylish presentation, and now SF and TK got in the trend. I wonder if Arc Systems and SNK will get in this trend in the future, and hope they do. This is a kind of thing that I don't mind to become a standard, because it shows special animations, so there's extra effort from the devs to add personality to each char and strength to the game's presentation. It's only boring if it's the full body display of plain idle stances like in recent GG games and DBFZ. That is no different than early MK or early Marvel select screens from the 90s, just with 3d models.

[@solid7442]

Jin's fighting style: Karate Also Jin's fighting style lorewise: - Mishima Karate - Kazama Traditional Martial Arts

[@jamesmason7979]

Canonically, Jin discarded Mishima Style Karate and Kazama Traditional Martial Arts in Tekken 4 and switched to Kyokushin Karate. That said, I think gets back some of those moves in this game.

[@southeastpaw1722]

That lore fighting style was pre-Tekken 4. He changed it to Traditional Karate (should’ve been Kyokushin) in Tekken 4 onwards.

[@grinbrothers]

Interesting that you can choose to play in the right side, even as player 1, and the travelling shadow effect as the character is selected looks pretty cool. 0:11 - Xiaoyu's little hands behind her back pose is cute. Her silver dress sparkles rather nicely in whatever area this character select screen is supposed to be (seems to be behind two giant curtains leading to the Iron Fist tournament arena. 0:26 - That starting moment where Lars is pure silhouette aside from the blue glow of his electronics is neat as well. 1:08 - Love the energy that King displays; looking awesome as ever. The character boxes seems pretty small, so they seemed to have allowed room for plenty more characters if need be. I've also noticed that Yoshimitsu has yet to be announced. His absence is striking. 1:59 - The extending arm and "yeah" of Jack-8 is nice and Paul's big grin is ever so charming.

[@ericksonureta8291]

I'm not a fan of the music (the "oh oh oh" hooks are pretty grating) but the dark-to-light lighting effect when hovering over a character is perfection

It's interesting to see how a sudden turn of events made modern MK (since X) a big influence on japanese fgs in many non gameplay aspects. The select screen and more realistic aesthetics on SF and TK... the MK11 super effects on SF6 lv3 supers... the intro dialogue on GGST... An adventure-like Konquest mode on SF6... some sort of body damage on SF6 and SC6... elaborate cinematic story modes on all them, etc.

I am glad that they went this route, better graphics, more dynamic interaction between characters, is a big upgrade from tekken 7
