Comparison and evolution graphics of the characters in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - Tekken 7 - Tekken 8 - Side by Side - [4K-60FPS]
All the game captures, editing, thumbnail were done by me.
I need to say I'm very impressed with the work the Tekken Team did with TTT2. It's true T8 is the best w/o doubt, but I think T7 has worse facial expressions than TTT2; the job done in TTT2 was incredible.
T7 really was a disappointment in terms of graphics in my opinion
Lil
Tag 2 had a high budget but as you all know it failed to sell so it made tekken 7 barely have a proper budget
Tag 2's lighting tho
TTT2 had nice textures on the hair and all, but tekken 7 did so much worse and they all had spaghetti hair, now they figured how to make it smooth again, actual expressions and faces, also nice looking textures are back
It's incredible how 90% of Tag2's models look better than Tekken 7's graphics-wise
Because 7 was a terrible game that never used the unreal 4 engine to its potential.
Honestly tekken 7s graphics make their characters look as if they're made of plastic 💀
T7 was the first time on a new engine right? makes sense devs didn't know unreal that well
@@DeejayMC25 Not an excuse. Arcsys figured out how to use it. Harada was lazy.
@@BimboBagginsyt how dare harada make these models all by himself
I'm more surprised that Tekken 7 somehow looks worse than Tag Tournament 2, but there's definitely a big general upgrade with 8
Low budget because of ttt2 crappy sales compared to t7 selling the most in the franchise for t8 s budget
Law went from 48 to 38 in Tekken 8. He's got deep nasolabial folds in Tekken Tag 2.
Im pretty sure it's forrest law that we got in tekken 8, it's martial law's son
yeah I was thinking the same thing, Marshall Law's personality is wayyy off. It should've been Forest. @@2inla
@@2inla the announcer literally says Marshall, it's not Forest
@@2inla Forest has only been playable in T3 and both Tag Tournaments. People speculated that he might've been returning for T6, because Marshall had a moustache since T3, and it was gone in T6, but it was still an overhauled Marshall. Also, like mentioned earlier, both trailer and game announcers for T8 explicitly say Marshall Law.
@@2inla No, it's not. it's Marshall.
my complain with T7 is that it has a great hair texture for bears, but for the other characters it looks like plastic
Hair lookin like litter gone w the wind.
Yeah low budget from ttt2
Tekken 6 and Tag Tournament 2 are one hell of a looker. I'm sad they never get the credit they deserve. Especially 6, which is one of my all time favorites.
Definitely Tag 2 is impressive, but 6... To me still looks like Tekken 5 with slightly better lighting
@@liquidalumina7141 My man, I'm playing Tekken 6 right now on RPCS3 (it runs almost perfectly!) and, trust me, at 1080p and higher, it looks GORGEOUS and a little better than TTT2 (especially stages). Give it a try if you have the chance!
Tekken 6 is alright but they screwed Jins face and hair model in that game so badly.
JUSTICE FOR TEKKEN 6 I remember comparing the art book to the actual models. I remember Nina looking so manly, but I still enjoyed that they put effort into all the faces to make them look like different individuals, something Tekken 7 missed COMPLETELY Alisa and Asuka's faces in 7 were exchangeable. Copy paste
@@liquidalumina7141well, if you play Tekken 6 psp version it definitely is 5's xD
Timestamp: 0:00 - Jin Kazama 0:36 - Kazuya Mishima 1:14 - Alisa Bosconovitch 2:04 - Asuka Kazama 2:44 - Paul Phoenix 3:24 - Hwoarang 4:03 - Marshall Law 4:45 - Nina Williams 5:23 - Zafina 6:04 - Ling Xiaoyu 6:43 - Lili Rochefort 7:25 - King 8:06 - Bryan Fury 8:47 - Lars Alexandersson 9:28 - Steve Fox 10:06 - Yoshimitsu 10:47 - Panda 11:28 - Kuma 12:08 - Jack 6/Jack 7/Jack 8 12:45 - Lee Chaolan 13:25 - Leo Kliesen 14:05 - Sergei Dragunov 14:56 - Feng Wei 15:36 - Devil Jin 16:16 - Jun Kazama 16:51 - Raven 17:27 - Leroy Smith 18:03 - Claudio 18:36 - Shaheen 19:10 - Outro
Thanks
Tekken 8s graphics are incredible but the fact that ttt2 still looks this good after all these years is crazy. Such a good game art direction wise
Damn, T7s budget cuts are really noticeable from the comparison. Glad Tekken 8 received the treatment it deserved
Yeah it can thank t7 for that lol
0:32 Jin Kazama's face looks in Tekken 8 is the perfect face.
He have an uncanny resemblance to Kenshiro from Hokuto No Ken in Tekken 8
T7 Jin's face looked normal to me, but when put next to TTT2 and T8 face in this video... wow it looks so goofy lol
Hwoarang, Claudio, & Shaheen are such STUDS in Tekken 8 😍
They are cool, I agree
Gay
Males are overly looking amazing in T8. They're very detailed compared to females
@@trafikantes4204The female characters are still very much detailed. The reason why they look worse than the male characters is because of the fact that the men have huge muscles with basically fatless muscle definition, while the woman only really have flawless skin and body shapes. In hindsight, it's basically a cause of beaty standards.
@@MEM-brain Maybe it's just the art style. In TTT2 they looked more "realistic"
For me, Hwoarang looked like he aged perfectly, T7 axed him, still like his TTT2 version. But T8 is undeniably perfect
His neck keeps getting thicker which each game and I think it looks weird. Bro has Yujiro neck in 8
i disagree,his previous design in 7 was a little smoother than how they made him as Karate pony-tailed coach.
@@kolyasmirno9116 Oh fuck no. He looks like a completely different character.
Idk wtf they were cooking with T7 Hwoarang
Definitely biggest upgrade in Tekken 8 lol
Meth, probably
T8 Hwoarang's haircut is worser though.
I think it looks good. You can still use his old haircut in Tekken 8 though with customisation. @@kolyasmirno9116
And the fact that his eye is back lol
Claudio got one of the biggest upgrades, he looked so derpy in Tekken 7 and that was his debut game lol
They weren't cooking shit in Tekken 7
They weren't cooking shit on the graphics department cause tt2 weren't cookin in the sale no. Almost got the whole franchise shut down and so t7 was basically there last chance to revive plus with a new engine they never used and a very tight budget compare to tt2 with it's engine and the highest budget of the franchise
Hard to cook good on a shoestring budget
@@maejuse7601 Which is interesting and sad at the same time, because tt2 has far more soul, you could feel the creators love, the so many characters, interactions, unic items... I wish they would release it on PC, it would make wonder with the sales..
@@gregorgerzson1767yeah I agree and sad that people are also crapping on 7 with its garbage budget
Hworang has the craziest glow up
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 aged better than Tekken 7
No it didn't.
@@Sammysapphirait sure did
I love TTT2 art style
Random Details/Things I noticed: Jin - His expression in 7 is like ''whatever'', but he seems focused and a bit angry in Tag 2 and 8. Kazuya - His left face scar got a subtle change, he have more visible wrinkles now. Alisa - She seems to me shorter in Tekken 7, Her facial features in Tekken 7 and Tag 2 are quite different, but in Tekken 8 they got blended. Asuka - Her hair actually had a slight change, like Anna in Tekken 7. Paul - His hair looks a bit higher in Tekken 7, And his face is overall better in Tekken 8. Hwoarang - He looks like a different character in the 3 games... His eyes are closer to his nose in Tag 2 and went apart as the next installment arrived. His nose also got thin in Tekken 8. Law - His model seems to be the exact same from Tag 2 to 7 just to be a whole new model in Tekken 8. Also, his facial scar in Tekken 7 was removed. And his chest scar was moved from right to center. Nina - She also seems shorter in Tekken 7, her idle stance got updated in Tekken 8, and her face in Tekken 8 looks closer to her Tag 2 model. Zafina - She's fairly similar in both games. Xiaoyu - She got taller over the years. Her eyes also went bigger over time and her face is sharper now. Subtle way of saying she's growing up. Lili - Her chin and jaw were modified in Tekken 8 to fit her nose better, seems like they wanted her to have a long nose. Her eyes also changed. King - He seems to be ''Whiter'' in Tekken 8, could be a lightning effect. Bryan - He seems to have a more curved posture in Tekken 8. His old left scar from Tag2/7 is replaced with a new one in Tekken 8. Lars - Could be the outfit but his posture seems a bit more erect now. And as most of Tekken 8 models, his face is a bit longer to fit his facial features. And they also fixed his thin eyebrows from Tekken 7. Steve - He is paler in Tekken 8. Also, his model from Tekken 8 seems closer to his Tag 2 model. And he's smiling in TK7 for some reason while angry in Tag 2/8. Yoshimitsu - A new armor as always. Panda/Kuma - The eyes and fur got better over the years. Jack - Personal opinion... He got uglier by each game, but the textures were improving over time. Lee - He seems to be shorter in Tekken 7, His face in Tekken 8 seems to be closer to his Tekken 7 model. Leo - She seems to be taller in Tekken 7, Similar haircuts and the eyes went bigger over time. Dragunov - Fairly similar overall, but his eyes seems a bit closer to his nose in Tekken 8. Feng - Fairly similar in all games, but he also looks a bit less muscular in Tekken 7. Devil Jin - His Tekken 7 model seems a bit soft in comparison. And he feels more scary in Tekken 8. Jun - Her mouth have a different shape from Tag 2. And her eyes are wider in Tekken 8. Raven - He's taller in Tekken 8. And his jaw seems fuller in Tekken 8 as well. Leroy - Fairly similar. Claudio - They fixed his eye and nose shapes in Tekken 8. Also, he looks skinnier in Tekken 8 while VERY muscular in Tekken 7. Shaheen - He feels taller in Tekken 8. And his face looks fairly similar in both games.
im still wondering where Hwoarang got his eye back? that's something no one talks about
@@kolyasmirno9116 Is probably a temporary eye patch. I believe he just had an injury and it's fine now. But if you have a headcanon where his eye is lost, he got a new eyepatch.
Bro hworamg misses an eye?@@dzastin0713
I will forever miss Tekken 6 and TT2's identity and character aesthetics. Tekken had its own identity back then like no other game.
Yeah that era is what defined Tekken for me in terms of visuals. 8 looks good and all but at times it feels like they want to be SF6 so bad
Tekken 7 characters really looked like clay
You're really saying this when TT2 characters look like playdough? T7 looked great when it came out and you're all just falling for recency bias. It was the best looking fighter of the 10's period.
@@Sammysapphira yeah i hate all that trash talking about 7 here,game is still holds fine imo.
like ffxiv ? xD
@@Sammysapphira you're high on crack
@@Sammysapphira You might wanna get your eyes checked
Wow TT2 really had good facial animations!

The tekken 7 face😂
@@Jonggun35He was like "😏"
Without a doubt Steve from Tekken 7 looks better 😏
Botox will do that.
The 😡, the 😏 and the 😐
Tag 2 still has the best facial expressions and eye movements. Really well put together vid, especially at 12:20 with the announces announcing all the Jacks.
i like how dragunov looked in TTT2 but tekken 8 did amazing, we dont talk about tekken 7 because i hate everything LMAO, graphics were ugly looking on every single character
They look like shiny plastics oml 😭
@@jolynecujo711 RIGHT, ITS SO AUGHHHHH
@@b0ltun0 the side profiles in T7 are crazyy 😭 TTT2 looks so much better in every aspects of graphics and models
@@jolynecujo711 oh i love how this game looked! tho tekken 8 kinda made them look even better, and tekken 7 isnt real LMAO
they had no budget
The graphics now❤ Claudio looks so good Lili is so pretty
If Newer technology offers better graphic then to be fair everyone of them stand out by themselves Bro. They're the representing Graphic and technology at that time. But this is great comparison Yodo Dodo❤❤❤
Goddamn, the massive leap between each one is crazy. Not just the characters, but look at the textures, lighting and stage. The explosion of detail is crazy. Tekken Tag 2 looks nice, but it is clearly showing its age. And Tekken 7 is not holding up as well as I thought it would going into this video. Hell, T7 has some crusty looking design decisions for the faces compared to TT2 and 8.
The surprising decadence of hair graphics quality in T7 is something that really stands out in comparisons. I dont know how these things work, and dont know much of the "behind the scenes" of these games... can that result be explained just by the low budget of the development? Or a possible (but pretty likely) inexperience with the engine could be also related?
Tag 2 sold so poorly it hurt the budget of 7. Tekken 7 also had an engine swap from their in house engine to unreal 4. So the low budget and new engine were hard on the team. Tekken 7 sold the best the series has in almost 20 years so 8 had a nice big budget to get the series rolling again. It's excepted to be worked on for 10 years similar to how tekken 7
The ps3-4-5 comparison also helps to highlight the differences of graphics direction in the series through that time. The most interesting part to me is the muscles. In T8 the devs apparently decided to use the new tech to flex their 3d abilities by making the guys look more ripped than before. But the way i see it, the difference is bigger than a mere natural graphics progression between generations. Its seems to be a real 3d art style difference.
The muscles looks great when they are sweeting, but they look weird when they are not wet
6:43 My favorite one.
I’m glad the Tekken Team figured out how to use the Unreal Engine fully! Tekken 7 looks like a transitional period from TTT2 in house engine to Tekken 8 use of Unreal Engine 5
I am really digging Xiaoyu. She used to be just okay for me. But man am I in love with her now. Love to use her and see her in all the actions.
For me, it's the same thing with Alisa
T8 law really looks like Bruce Lee Fr
I liked the idea of triple comparison using Tag 2 for the ps3 representative, since i get the feeling that most people facing the situation would pick T6 because its the mainline game... but the fact is that Tag 2 is the updated ps3 release. Also i was really curious to see the claims about Tag 2's great graphics put to the test in this way. Like, i can see the quality of course, but an actual comparison video obviously works the best (if its well edited and with good capture).
Kasuya facial detail were improved alot. Well done!
Almost everyone got broken necks... I know they twist and turn so you got a better view of the model while you're playing from the POV of the player, but is crazy to see Brian's for example and how uncomfortable that stance seems in 7
7:17 Lili‘s eyes really turned blue.
Caucasian
Nice compilation, nice music, nice characters, nice graphics, nice voice, acting, nice video, nice games.
Tag 2 and T8 models are better than in t7
jin looks so tired in tekken 7 bro 😭 like bro is gonna fall asleep any second

16:02 Devil Jin finally look like an actual menace.
Still not as menacing as his look in Tekken 5
I can only imagine how these characters would look like by Tekken 10.
Personally, I think Nina's TTT2 iteration is the best. With every new game she looks younger and younger. More like a Barbie doll instead of a grown-ass woman
Exactly ! And she looks less intimidating
Can you make a comparison between Tekken 7 & Tekken 8 with Tekken 7 outfits? I'm just so mind-blown by the huge graphical improvement.
Jun Kazama looks hot in TTT2 but yeah Tekken8 give us MOMMY Jun
I still want them to add Ninas old hairstyle and blue/velvet assassin suit from Tekken 5 in character customization of Tekken 8. And all Yoshimitsu suits from the all Tekken series...
The hairstyle alone would fix Nina’s design for me. I don’t know why they tried to make her into Ada Wong.
I think they will add it sooner or later.
@@iatepacman745 yeah for at least 4 dollars with a costume that should’ve been in the game already maybe
@@TREVORVADER hey man at least it’s better than nothing😂
@@iatepacman745 debatable
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Ultimately the history of comparison 😄👍🏻
Nina Asuka jun xaioyu Lili all had a glow up
Don't forget law
@@joshuaooi753 law got ripped
Asuka, Xiao and Lili look great in 8 especially compared to 7 though I still prefer TTT2. Jun looks not good to me in 8. At least straight on. Everyone’s face looks weird to me from the front like they get a weird flat waxy look to them in 8. If you see it from an angle where the details of her nose and stuff are visible she looks fine. Nina’s hair kills her design in 8 for me
They just look softer . I mean it’s not a bad look but I liked when they looked more intense.
Tekken 8 the best
Except for Steve ngl
exactly! he looks like he went to Dubai to get his cheekbones done! @@kennetjavil7777 His best appearance was in TTT2
@@kennetjavil7777TTT2 steve takes the win
@@jolynecujo711 his tag 2 design is just better overall
Tekken 8 the worst
Thank you for using Plucking Tulips 🙏🙏🙏
The only wish I have for Tekken 8 is for more classic outfits, like Tekken 5 Asuka (the one from literally every art made for this game)
I want some more classic outfits or at least reimaginings like Jin and Kazuya got. Nina could use an actual assassin outfit like she usually has as well as her signature ponytail back. Asuka I’d like her blue jumpsuit back. I’d like Law’s white Kung Fu outfit back. Hwoarang’s full biker outfit to go with the hair and goggles they gave. Xiaoyu’s old T4-6 hair. Kazuya’s classic tuxedo. There’s lots they could do.
Asuka looks amazing in t8 😍😍😍
Her outfit looks goofy tho
Devil jin's front look is so demonic
Kuma's glow up is insane 😳
I've always known Tekken tag 2 was graphically superior to T7. Even T6 could contest T7 in certain character models. T6 should also be included in the comparison. T6 has a lot more distinctive cultural features for the characters and was captured more accurately. T8 has of course become the Goat for graphics and gameplay now but this is 2024 vs 2011. Tag 2 was a phenomenal achievement. Unfortunately it came out at the end of a console era and wasn't quickly unsupported by the developers due to poor sales. Nothing a balance patch couldn't have fixed.
From T7 to T8, it's a improvement (especially if you play the game "live", the youtube streaming quality does not make it justice), but it's not a "leap" or anything. I did noticed how the female character now have different faces, I guess this is more a art direction thing than actual graphics. And it's cool, the lame robot waifu's face looks way different if compared to Asuka for example, and so on, the females all have distinctive faces. The male characters had more variety even in early Tekken games, but again, they are even more distinct in T8. All of them shares the same body model tho, the same "skeleton" so to speak
GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE !!! 🎉 _ Tekken Tag 2 (September 2012) _ Tekken 7 (June 2017) _ Tekken 8 (January 2024)
16:02 I like how they make Tekken 8 Devil Jin looks different from the previous games.
Wow King has gotten so expressive over the years
Tekken 8 has the best looking character models.
Why does Tekken 7 suddenly looked bad in between Tekken 8 and Tag 2? 😅
Tag 2 looks by far the worst. They just put a lot of bloom on the characters to make it look better, but all it really does is making it look cheap and unrealistic.
T7 barely had a budget so yea
@@TheShocker650you’re just wrong Tekken 7 looks the worst visually, and most textures in 7 end up making characters look like zombies
@@t1red3yez27 Tekken 7 has more detailed textures and character models. Even a blind person can see that. If you can't see it that a PS4 era game has better graphics than a PS3 era game then I don't know what to tell you.
@@TheShocker650 I guess 80% of the people in the comments are blind then lol No you just don’t know what you’re talking about, Tekken 7 had a WAY lower budget than tag 2 which is why the offerings of the game at launch were lackluster compared to other Tekken games You can’t with a straight face say that Tekken 7’s Lili model looks better than Tag 2’s version unless you just don’t have eyes
I'd love to see a comparison of these 3 games as well as Tekken 6 with it.
It seems Tekken 8 animations based on TTT2's which is already good and polished them out. I don't know about Tekken 7 skeleton structure but it seems the neck and head vertical point were merge with the body. Which make the head tilted altho not that much Also Look at Kuma and Panda fur after Bandai Namco groom them in T8 Feels neatly fl00f
the evolution between 7 and 8 omg
TTT2 and T8 WINS 🔥
Tekken 8 just 🔥
How did you get such a clean HD capture of TTT2? Wasn't it locked at 720p?
Maybe the upscaled version on Xbox Series X
RPCS3
Most characters in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 were very angry.
I love how some characters look exactly the same, but then their design has small but drastic changes. Like The shape of Law’s head or the Eye placement of Lili
Man Tekken Tag Tournament 2 still looks amazing to this day. Even better than Tekken 7's
I think this shows how the characters who were added to tekken 7 after season 2 just had so much more care and budget put into the modeling, zafina really does look like a natural progression from tag 2 to T8 unlike Kazuya who went through 7.0....
TTT2 definitely looks better than T7
I don't think Im the only one to have noticed it, but Nina Williams over the years looks like Android 18 from Dragon Ball
Nina never looked better to me since Tekken 5
Yoshi and Hwoarang definitely got the best glow up in T8
Man Hwoarangs glow up in tekken 8 is just incredible
Devil Jin in Tekken 8 is fierce. He boastly laughs. haha
Tekken 8 may have better graphics, but I still prefer the wider chins and dark eyes in the older models of Tekken 6 and Tag 2 tbh, somehow it gave a more realistic look to them
nahh they all look mad in there lol
@@ataparag232aggree
Nina went from Im here for Business to Trying to make Business to I Stand on Business
Interested by the fact that Lee never aged
Does anyone know what the first song in a video call? Been looking for it everywhere. It feel like tekken but im not not sure
Plucking Tulips from Tag 2
I just want ONE last tag game! Imagine how amazing it’d look with tekken 8 graphics
TT2 models = look decent T7 models = look like plastic trash T8 models = look like anime dolls
Tekken 8 models look like anime dolls is because the 'shader' (I'm MMD animator so I just know how to use this term lol), if you render the model in another animating software (or engine) like Blender 3D, you will see how organic they actually looked
You can mod the t8 shaders thank God
@@Jogyot3260so it's unreal engine 5's fault?
Ehich version of Moonlight Wilderness is this?
Nina's outfits were good and stylish.
Can l ask what this theme is plz?
I dont think they design a proper neck joint for T7 exept for Devil Jin. Their heads are all tilted.
1:53, 5:57 I think decided added eye tracking during fight in T7 and remove it in T8 since it's not noticeable
I almost thought Law was gonna say “I’ll break your nosey.”
There's a mistake. Former Tekken 7 characters are marked as TTT2 characters. (Leroy, Shaheen, Claudio)
Hmm... I'm confused at 1:56. Can't decide which one's better...
Lili and Nina Williams genuinely had the biggest glowup in tekken 8
Tekken 8 è incredibile ❤❤❤ Amazing game
I like how Nina's face is longer again like in Tag 2
Which song is this in the background?
I'm glad most people here agree TT2 was better looking than T7. T8 takes the cake, though.
