Jin might be one of the best visually designed fighting game character purely off the fact his costumed reflect his story way more than just about any character I can think of.
Tekken 3 and following that, Jin, was my first gaming obsession after Nintendo in my younger years. I'm still a die hard Zelda fan first, Final Fantasy second and Metroid 3rd, but alongside those since the genres are so different, is Tekken. 20 years ago I was nearing my 18th birthday and was dead set on getting a tattoo. I knew it would be gaming related since that's my biggest passion, but I wanted something generic enough that it wouldn't scream "Neeeeeerd" when someone saw it (early 00s, the stigma was real), but easily recognizable by other gamers. So obvious choice fell on Jin's bicep tribal. It's still my only tattoo and don't regret it for a second.
T4 hoody, T5 and T6 default customs has a very special place in my hard. Im a bland guy so I always pick the game protag, yet Jin always fit to my taste that's why I main him. The Black Tank top jin returns in T8
5:36 It’s a matching outfit with Xiaoyu. They’re inspired by Panda (hence the fur) except Xiaoyu got a cute gothic Lolita outfit and Jin got…that lmao.
Yeah. It was still ugly. Haven't played T5 is years and I completely forgot that hideous outfit. *Accidentally pick gorilla arms outfit* "What button did I press to get that suit? Yeah, never again."
Ohhh... That makes the context of the costume cooler. But it doesn't make the costume itself cool. Even then, it *does* look like Xiao made him put it on, even though he really didn't want to.
Literally the character who got me into Fighting games. Tekken 3 was my first fighting game I owned and played to death. Named my OC after him snd everything.
I didn't know Max didnt like Devil Jins design. I always thought Devil Jin looked badass af. The wings, the horns, the white eyes, the claws, bro... It's so sick. His best look is his T5 look imo. He looks genuinely terrifying and demonic. I especially love the leg gauntlets he has.
I really hope they put Jin’s Tekken 4 hoodie outfit in Tekken 8 in the future, especially since it was included in Tekken 7 as Playstation Exclusive, It would be cool if they also include Jin’s black and white outfit from Tekken 4 as well.
Devil Jin VA in Tekken 5 is the greatest. The way he laughed in that game, as a child, it scared me. I remember the first time I encountered Devil Jin in Tekken 5, it was midnight (no light turned on) and me and my sister were playing characters to see their ending story. When Devil Jin laughed, I still remember it.... we looked at each other slowly and turned off PS2 right away. 😂😂😂
I didn't get into Tekken before T5, yet the image of Jin in the hoodie on T4's boxart made such a strong impression on me from all the time spent on wistfully oogling games for consoles that my poor family couldn't afford. The blue-on-white with gold accents is a bold choice, yet it still looks effortlessly cool. They had to do something striking for a character who were known for wearing flame-embroidered clothing, so I admire how well both costumes managed to carry that loud late-90s aesthetic without aging badly. Jin's other primary looks in T4 and 5, which retained the flame motif while adopting a subdued black and white aesthetic does fit Jin's reserved persona more, but they also lack the eye-catching style that his traditional look and hoodie had. Luckily, T8's alt came along and offered up the perfect blend by using the white-on-black design as the base and then adding layers of red on top of that to create a complex and vibrant pattern that looks right out of an old Japanese painting. I still prefer the hoodie, but I also love just letting my eyes wander while taking in all of the subtle linework of his T8 alt. My first order of business in any Tekken game that doesn't have the hoodie is to head into the character creator and paint the closest approximation of the fit that Jin has in that game with those same colors.
It’s Crazy how Far this Character went is Fascinating that I can see why he’s the Main Character in this Franchise, Jin Kazama is a Peak Example that Next Generation Characters can Work and back then it felt like a Gamble that Surprisingly Worked, while 6 made a Controversial Choice, I will admit he has some of the Best Designs in the Series and 8 Improved and Cemented how the Character should look to Me with the Light Grey, Black, and Wine Red as it symbolizes his Journey of Facing his Demons and coming out or the Light and the Same goes to Devil Jin, personally I didn’t like it but now with Tekken 8 he’s the Best he ever Looked and Use in the Story.
I love Tekken 8 jin all around, he's been evolved into this really cool design that's no longer the same, but is still jin. His angel design is a 10/10 for me, simply because it looks like he's wearing Cloth armor like he's in the saint seiya series, it's simply ridiculous and cool. Jin is also my fave fighting game character of all time, I owned both Tekken 2 and 3, but 3 was the first one I put into my PS1. So, tekken 3 was my first fighting game ever and my 4 year old self fell in love with the cool flames and edgy "demon inside" thing he had going on with his devil form. Jin is just really cool.
I will always love his Tekken 3 look, but goddamn the 8 one just sticks with me. I don’t really understand why I like it so much since I’m not much of a fashion person, but he just looks really cool in that getup.
Jin's "Swap Costume" in SFxTK is a reference to Crimson Viper. Which, y'know, it's cool, her costume does fit if you wanna give Jin like a "Business" look... but man that just made me want C. Viper in the game, I really wanted to make a team with her and Nina. Team MILF lol
Honestly people see devil jin's design as something an edgy teenager would like but i fell in love with this character when i was 4 man. My brother and i used to play tekken 5 with all characters, we would even play mokujin mirror matches to have it random every round, but the character that i would always choose to play were devil jin, eddy, and hwoarang. I love his design and still think it looks better than the new coat, even tho i also like it.
@@RatchildUKYour point? Kazuya wasn't in PlayStation All Stars and was completely absent in Tekken 3. Heihachi was in PS All Stars and was originally going to be the Tekken rep in Smash. Does that make him the face of Tekken?
Because most people still think about heihachi & kazuya first when they hear the word tekken. Jin is there in the long run to take the poster boy title but in the mind of most ppl he is still behind those other 2
Given his absence now & the fact you did Jin & Kaz I feel Heihachi should be next even if ya might blownthru it it'd be nice to see the old man thru out the years in his iconic designs cuz he's had some real bangers too
Tekken 3 was the first fighting game I played that I loved, my dad gave me the PS1 in christmas and Tekken 3, probably the best memories I have, and to this day I still hope for a Mokujin in recent tekken or Gon, and the same design of Yoshimitsu.
I like how Jin has some artistic designs in the Tekken. The way they look almost represents his personality and where he's from and we supposed to be in the series. That's my opinion and how I see Jin's outfits.❤
The thing i really love about tekken 5 jin costume design that replacing the red flame with white flames it's not just resembles his mother color it's also resembles the purity is burning away the impurity inside him.
My uncle is the one who got me into gaming. His favorite character at the time was Jin and he even got the same tattoo on his arm. I never really got into fighting games but I very much enjoy watching people play them.
you missed the tekken 6 trailer and the tekken 7 ending costume witch is just a black biker jacket and some mix of jin tekken 3 gloves and biker gloves wich is pretty cool
T4 Jin will always have my fave design The white and black pants with the white and black top with the symbol on the back, plut the kazama symbol gauntlets. It's so good I esp love those pants with how it's pure white on one side and black on the flame side with the flames being white really showing a duality in the design much like his story with the Mishima vs the Kazama legacy It's my fave design by far
I like how Jin told a story through his costumes Tekken 3: a kid just getting out of school and into his family legacy while also having a biker hobby Tekken 4: a revenant cursed by his past,someone who died and is ashamed of the corpse he turned into. Covering himself in hoods and baggy clothes to conceal his shame Tekken 5: a man who was reborn and inspired by his mother to continue his life and start a new journey to take down those who wronged him Tekken 6 and Tag tournament 2: slowly turning into his corrupted father through rage and violence, conducting literal warfare and world domination just to seek revenge. Tekken 7: a man hellbent on burying his past by any means necessary even it means dying over and over he will rise above and prevail to stop this cycle of violence. Tekken 8: a flame reignited, Jin is truly ready to put an end to all of this madness, this evil that’d be infecting his family for generations and to hopefully lead a brand new generation of peace and quiet And then there’s Devil Jin who is literally a shitpost
Angel Jin looks litterally like a more modernized Saint Seiya gold cloth character. I dig it but, does it fit in a Tekken Game? Nhhhhh... I personally think it is a bit much as far as power looking armor goes.
This is the earliest i have ever been to one of Max's Videos, I started watching you early 2023 and LOVE your content dude, You fully got me into fighting games and i am LOVING tekken 8 rn, Keep up the great content!
The only thing that bothers me about the updated classic look in Tekken 8 is that the part of Jin’s gloves with two silver spheres it skipped over completely. Usually it’s supposed to be 11 of them, but it’s only 9 per hand. I know, it’s a minor nitpick. But it’s otherwise an amazing design. If anything, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the unlockable classic skin for T8 Jin that can be found in the customization menu. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jin was in the running for inclusion in the next Smash game since Tekken 8 did more work to consolidate regular & Devil Jin in addition to how important Tekken is to Bandai Namco. That said, Dark Souls is probably next in line for playable Bamco representation.
I will say, I wish the gauntlets Tekken 8 Jin has, if they had the swirl design from 4's gauntlets be the design for the forearms, I feel like that would be a perfect take for Jin in the next game. For a bit when I saw 8's default I thought that's what WAS going on, but then I got sad when I realized that wasn't the case.
Tekken 3 Jin is my favorite design for him. Closely followed by the updated version of it in Tekken 8. That being said, Angel Jin gives me vibes of the last phase for Kefka in Final Fantasy VI.
I have a huge hot take, lol, i, and im so sorry, but i actually like... tekken blood vengeance ik people hated it, but the movie wasn't bad and it deserves more recognition
Im about to smoke everyone who hates Devil Jin's design: I know edgelord characters were really overdone at the time, but DJ is perfect and one of the few who earns the edge. So Jin unlearns Mishima karate and uses his moms colors in T4 canonically. Then in T5, he embraces A BIT of who he is, by keeping the Kazama colors, but adding back the flames. Then finally, the character you saw for a moment at the end of T3 and at the end of T4 is now unleashed and playable. He USES Jins T3 moveset with Devil stuff added. They'd already established that DJ doesnt look like Devil Kaz. So how else could we have POSSIBLY wanted Devil Jin to look like? He reverts to his T3 pants-- His MISHIMA colors, corrupted by the Devil Gene, and he wears the chains Heihachi tried to bind him in during T4. Character-wise, you couldn't design a better DJ for Tekken 5, yet ppl hate it just so they can say "meh, edgelord, tryhard, sucks". What an original opinion smh. T7 was kinda trash tho tbf. But not bc its edgy, bc it makes no sense.
*TEKKEN 8 STORY SPOILER* ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Never realized just how perfect Shagaru Magala Jin is. Think about it-a wild, berserk evil power evolving into an even stronger but more divine looking form.
If you don't know, Shaggy Maggy is from Monster Hunter-it's the "final form" of Gore Magala, a draconic creature with a sinister black fog emanating from it at almost all times-"The Frenzy". Some of them mature into a giant, golden form with extremely powerful attacks; And the armor set you can create from it's parts is pretty similar to Angel Jin.
Think Max stretched his take on Tekken 3 Jin a bit. I remember playing it on a tiny TV in my bedroom (first bedroom tv I ever had) and hopping between Jin, cuz he looked like Ryu, and King cuz he was so fuckin cool and different.
The most perfectly timed vid ever Whatever happens, I Think TK4 Jin is almost level with the main one. I actually mean his karate suit and not the tracksuit Maybe the reason they included the tracksuit in TK7 is because they didn’t know that many weee asking for the other For them to do something so random and different but have it work perfectly I used to be so mad his main suit wasn’t in the game but now I live loading this up just to see the design His face also looks so different to TK5. In TK5 he looked plain and Caucasian but this here is just perfect Not much muscle definition but actually had a Japanese skin tone and looked like someone bulking and training
Love Jin but maybe I'm the only one who was hyped for Devil Jin since it was teased since Tekken 3. I liked that the Devil form was a twist on his Mishima Style fighting too.
Vague story spoiler: I like Jin and Kazuya's final stuff in 8 because they'll probably never go that far again so they might as well go all out. Them not being playable outside of the story adds to it as well because, other than things like this, you'll never really see them without the context of what led to them.
Tekken 3+Tag Jin is so cool because he wears like those nylon tracksuit joggers with a rope, instead of a karate pants. They brought his color scheme back a couple of times but those were all karate pants. And I missed your comments on the evolution of his gloves. Which are my favorite element of all the outfits. I never like a Kazuya or Jin outfit that has no Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Star Platinum 10 circled gloves.
I Think It's About Time That We Cover King Next, He's A Pro Wrestler For Tekken & Enter The King Of The Iron Fist Tournament, & Also Jin Kazama Wasn't Appeared In Tekken 1 & Tekken 2 Since
idk why Max hates horns on Devil Jin, without it it would be literally Jin with tattoos :D
Yea easily the worst take ever tbh
Yeah, I don't get it. I still think it's the best look for him.

until tekken 8, devil jin was just a pair of jorts away from being a digimon
We're not gonna talk about how in game T7/T8 Devil Jin looks like he's wearing Crocs?

The best Tekken character for a reason
Hell yeah
Tekken 3 Jin is peak , a simple design that looks cool AF , but i also likes his Tekken 4 with the hoodie the colors , is also a cool costume.
Tekken 4 Jin's costume so completely describes his throught process at the time as well. Verrry broody moment for him.

He suites the look very well on an aesthetic level.
Aged well
@@HiImAiden sadly behind a paywall…
You missed the ACTUAL best Devil Jin outfit, his alt in T8 with the fur collar.
He rated that one in rating all the T8 outfits of all the characters some days ago. I recall him admitting that it is a pretty good upgrade.
Devil Jin VA in Tekken 5 is the greatest.

I think Angel Jin looks okay...ish. I just REALLY don't like the feather mullet and the makeup.
Angel Jin looks litterally like a more modernized Saint Seiya gold cloth character. I dig it but, does it fit in a Tekken Game? Nhhhhh... I personally think it is a bit much as far as power looking armor goes.
Tekken 8 Devil Jin looks great because they went with with a more "elegant" take on his demonic persona, almost Dracula-like.
Ah yes Jin, his edgy emo look in Tekken 3 is what sparked and started my journey with Tekken up until now, Jin is a legend
Devil Jins design is so fire, max ur trippin. And how is edgy given a bad connotation for devil jin but you use it in a good way for Jins T3 look.
ok these visual history videos are literally MADE for Max to do and I'm all for it
i find it weird to say that it's good that tekken went with a bit more edgier look, but then give all the shit tekken 4 got, way more than it deserved
If Max, a huge Nomura fanboy, says there's too many belts... then there's waaay too many belts lol.

Tekken 3 was an exclusive.
I actually want a Blood Vengence Devil JIn mod for story's Angel Jin.
It seems more accurate for me
Ik Tekken 4 is hated from a gameplay perspective but it was peak character design imo
The only thing that bothers me about the updated classic look in Tekken 8 is that the part of Jin’s gloves with two silver spheres it skipped over completely. Usually it’s supposed to be 11 of them, but it’s only 9 per hand. I know, it’s a minor nitpick. But it’s otherwise an amazing design. If anything, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the unlockable classic skin for T8 Jin that can be found in the customization menu.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jin was in the running for inclusion in the next Smash game since Tekken 8 did more work to consolidate regular & Devil Jin in addition to how important Tekken is to Bandai Namco. That said, Dark Souls is probably next in line for playable Bamco representation.
You should do a Lee Chaolan visual history. Bro changes costumes almost every game.
Angel Jin reminds me of Seiya's Holy Cloth from the hades arc, specially because of the wings, I love it
tekken 8 feels like a true modernization of jin like sf6 redesign levels good.
Can you please do a ryu Hayabusa visual history!!!
that is a very large set
@@WeeWeeJumbo but it would be cool 😎
King next
Hoodie and jacket Jin from 4 is best Jin.
I will say, I wish the gauntlets Tekken 8 Jin has, if they had the swirl design from 4's gauntlets be the design for the forearms, I feel like that would be a perfect take for Jin in the next game. For a bit when I saw 8's default I thought that's what WAS going on, but then I got sad when I realized that wasn't the case.
Why do people ignore Tekken revolution 😔
If daddy issues had daddy issues with an identity crisis. The sequel.
I always thought T8 angel was a reference to Saint Seiya
Tekken 3 Jin is my favorite design for him. Closely followed by the updated version of it in Tekken 8. That being said, Angel Jin gives me vibes of the last phase for Kefka in Final Fantasy VI.
My All-Time Favorite Character in the series man how much he has grown 😊
Blood Vengeance looks like he's a reference to Baoh, a character that Jojo's creator Hirohiko Araki made before the jojo series
I have a huge hot take, lol, i, and im so sorry, but i actually like... tekken blood vengeance ik people hated it, but the movie wasn't bad and it deserves more recognition
Same, i wish we got more Tekken movies like Blood Vengance
Im about to smoke everyone who hates Devil Jin's design:
I know edgelord characters were really overdone at the time, but DJ is perfect and one of the few who earns the edge.
So Jin unlearns Mishima karate and uses his moms colors in T4 canonically. Then in T5, he embraces A BIT of who he is, by keeping the Kazama colors, but adding back the flames.
Then finally, the character you saw for a moment at the end of T3 and at the end of T4 is now unleashed and playable. He USES Jins T3 moveset with Devil stuff added. They'd already established that DJ doesnt look like Devil Kaz. So how else could we have POSSIBLY wanted Devil Jin to look like? He reverts to his T3 pants-- His MISHIMA colors, corrupted by the Devil Gene, and he wears the chains Heihachi tried to bind him in during T4.
Character-wise, you couldn't design a better DJ for Tekken 5, yet ppl hate it just so they can say "meh, edgelord, tryhard, sucks". What an original opinion smh.
T7 was kinda trash tho tbf. But not bc its edgy, bc it makes no sense.
Love you Max but your taste in art is not you strong Point 😅
Great history....do Nina (and Anna) next!!!
I absolutely loved Tekken Tag . Cemented as part of my childhood
*TEKKEN 8 STORY SPOILER*
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Never realized just how perfect Shagaru Magala Jin is.
Think about it-a wild, berserk evil power evolving into an even stronger but more divine looking form.
If you don't know, Shaggy Maggy is from Monster Hunter-it's the "final form" of Gore Magala, a draconic creature with a sinister black fog emanating from it at almost all times-"The Frenzy".
Some of them mature into a giant, golden form with extremely powerful attacks; And the armor set you can create from it's parts is pretty similar to Angel Jin.
I really hope you do King and A. King
Jins's Design in Tekken 6 was pretty nice.
After that they made his eyes and eyebrows look so bushy and ugly it was mad crazy.
Tbh after Tekken 6, they’ve made him look like kazuya with bangs for better or worse.
This is the best max has ever looked like
Crazy how it took Devil Jin 5 games to look good
Max: "What does this remind you of?"
Chat: "Nergigante?"
Max: "Not Nergigante, NO!" 😂
People are still in the honeymoon phase with his transylvania look.
Devil Jin looked fine y'all wildin. He started to look bad when it was just Jin with wings.
Think Max stretched his take on Tekken 3 Jin a bit. I remember playing it on a tiny TV in my bedroom (first bedroom tv I ever had) and hopping between Jin, cuz he looked like Ryu, and King cuz he was so fuckin cool and different.
Tekken 4 hoodie Jin is my absolute favorite!!
starting to think you have bad tastes
The most perfectly timed vid ever
Whatever happens, I Think TK4 Jin is almost level with the main one. I actually mean his karate suit and not the tracksuit
Maybe the reason they included the tracksuit in TK7 is because they didn’t know that many weee asking for the other
For them to do something so random and different but have it work perfectly
I used to be so mad his main suit wasn’t in the game but now I live loading this up just to see the design
His face also looks so different to TK5. In TK5 he looked plain and Caucasian but this here is just perfect
Not much muscle definition but actually had a Japanese skin tone and looked like someone bulking and training
Tekken 3 is one of my top 5 games of all time, and the best fighting game of all time, over Street Fighter II. And I fucking love Street Fighter II.
Love Jin but maybe I'm the only one who was hyped for Devil Jin since it was teased since Tekken 3. I liked that the Devil form was a twist on his Mishima Style fighting too.
Vague story spoiler:
I like Jin and Kazuya's final stuff in 8 because they'll probably never go that far again so they might as well go all out. Them not being playable outside of the story adds to it as well because, other than things like this, you'll never really see them without the context of what led to them.
Tekken 3+Tag Jin is so cool because he wears like those nylon tracksuit joggers with a rope, instead of a karate pants.
They brought his color scheme back a couple of times but those were all karate pants. And I missed your comments on the evolution of his gloves. Which are my favorite element of all the outfits.
I never like a Kazuya or Jin outfit that has no Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Star Platinum 10 circled gloves.
its crazy how you say dj has too many layers when you count multiple pieces of clothing twice
Tekken 3 was so good, you could just look at the boxart and know it was worth all the money.
I Think It's About Time That We Cover King Next, He's A Pro Wrestler For Tekken & Enter The King Of The Iron Fist Tournament, & Also Jin Kazama Wasn't Appeared In Tekken 1 & Tekken 2 Since
