The events between Tekken 5, 6 and 7 pretty much occur within the same year because each title starts off where the previous one ended. Though it does bother me that she's still so young, she should be 17 in t8, Jin is already confirmed to be 22, it's crazy cause Xiaoyu looks younger than Lili 😂
DAMN. I did not know Kazuya was 49 years old. I thought he was at most like 45. Also it really annoys me that Jin has accomplished more at 21 than i have at 26.
To be fair, Jin is the grandson of a CEO in a family company. He has access to more resources thanks to his family. It doesn't mean that his life was an easy one, though.
While Jin had accomplished something doesn’t mean those accomplishments are worth to pat someone in the back, in real life, I think many people will ridicule him or if he had supporters, Japan will be in chaos + the world. Then US president offer him asylum.
And Lee is 48 while looking 25. I guess he is a rich man and has access to the best anti-aging products and technology. While Dragunov is obviously stressed from doing his job, and Feng just doesn't give a shit about anything that doesn't make him stronger.
It's crazy that Tekken 5-7 all take place in one year. Makes you wonder just how much money the Mishima Zaibatsu is if it can host the fighting equivalent of the World Cup 3 times in 12 months.
@@mr.tramber That would be false. Some sources say (Heihachi's and Lee's Tekken 5 prologues for example) that one month has passed between Tekken 4 and 5. Paul's Tekken 5 prologue says it's been two months, however. The rest is very vague. All we know for a fact is that all Tekkens starting from the 4th one happen in the same year.

That's cuz Fahkumram is actually the tallest in all of Tekken trilogy, or so the creator says. I don't have the screenshot, but I remember seeing it in his tweet or somewhere. The reason why he is so small and have a deformed body unlike the trailer--is to make him playable. Bigger characters means larger hitbox, along with mid attacks becomes high attack, while low attacks becomes mid attacks. And hugh attacks would be impossible. Plus, whenever they nerfed some movement, it will be tough if one character is like 10 ft tall. I mean, u can already do an infinite combo if u use alisa's saw against Kuma, just cuz he is the tallest. Imagine if Fahkumram is as tall, if not taller. You could basically combo him much easier and more damaging. And he can do the same to u too.
@@7exon600 they could just make larger character to fly further getting combo alot. Like in tekken 6, if you combo more than 12 hits, the 13th and 14th is unhitable and characters can wake up and do punish instantly. I tried this on ppsspp with large hitbox cheats and it is confirmed.
@@khairuljapar3363 Hmm, no, that's not what's concerning. Because the problem is the wall attack. Kuma can be combo'ed infinitely by Alisa because of wall juggle, not because of the air juggle attacks. Plus, imagine some attacks that does not juggle, but rather sent the enemy to the ground. U shouldn't be able to combo any character after that particular attack, except tall characters like Fahkumram, cuz his hit boxes are huge. That would make the game unfair. Maybe it can be fixed, but the creator prolly think it's a hassle and requires more coding or something. I dunno. Not a pro at this. All I know is that I saw him said that Fahkumram is the tallest character in the Tekken trilogy. Though I doubt he's taller than Azazel. And to further prove this, Marduk is shrunked as well.

Then, later on after WW2 Japanese culture went largely into full on escapism. Culturally, there was never much or a want or need for grit or realism. In this case, Japanese devs are largely just following marketing trends based on previous successes (in this case not having ugly characters), but in the greater picture, that original artistic direction goes back centuries in explaining why Japan does it differently.
Panda is actually older than Kuma also it's kind of a shame Teken won't allow Female characters to actually be over the age of 40, and no the Williams sisters don't count, they weren't allowed to age naturally

Xiaoyu was always 3 years younger than Jin. She debuted in Tekken at age 16, while Jin was 19. That would make her a freshman, while Jin would be a senior.
Lee is supposed to be taiwanese. He was adopted by heihachi in taiwan. And Lee's name is in Mandarin Edit: lei wulong is supposed to be hong kong. His name is in Cantonese
Is just past Tekken games the character models made certain characters smaller until Tekken 8 which fixed most of that and some of the horrible proportions of Tekken 7. Kazuya is actually taller and bigger than his son. Tekken 8 actually fixed some of the character models with Kazuya being actually bigger and taller than his son Jin.
Mads Mikkelson would make a SICK Dragunov and I would usually choose a newer actor just so they could make the character their own and vice versa but he'd do so well after Casino royale
@@Baset_ I don’t think that in a Tekken story that’s it’s necessary for all of them to play a fighter’s role. To have Drago in the background as a general that works his way into TK6 would be cool.

KOF, at least they did age since a year base sequel system up until KOF 2003, then the rest of the games work like any other fighting game and, of course, some retconing too
Because Japanes people love youth. Also Asians age slower so a young 30yo female jp girl often looks more youthful than average white American that looks like spoilt milk at that point. The guys do generally age though, T8 Jin looks older than 21yo for sure, and SF6 Ryu definitely is rocking that beard for a reason now. Paul and Law also looks older. Even Nina looks quite mature now.
The characters' ages always "baffled" me, but that is because, well, only about half a decade *at best* happened between Tekken 3 and Tekken 8. These characters, and their world, have gone through way too much in such a short amount of time
@@BilalKhan-ng3ex well, if we are going to get technical Jin, Kazuya and Heihachi in theory are not Japanese since their nationality was revoked by the Japanese government for crimes against humanity
Yea ur right. The heights in t7 is not always right if you compare them to info from the manuals and such (T3 - TTT1 manuals etc). And I guess you also have to pay attention to the character's foot wear and the Mishimas' long ass hair as well.
A lot of the developer stated heights do NOT match the ingame models , also akuma while not exactly tall is WAYYY more jacked than i realized he makes some of the other characters physiques look small in comparison
Heihachi is the tallest in game model he looks like 2 inches taller than Kazuya Jin looks taller than Kazuya by an inch and looks a little buffer him and Lars looks like the shortest out of this family it's so weird though because confirmed data Lars is supposed to be the 2nd tallest after jinpachi and slightly shorter is Kazuya and another slightly shorter is Jin than inch shorter is heihachi Mishima but he used to to be the same height as Jin when he was younger but in game model it's a different story. Tekken Characters heights a lot them are off despite confirmed data but the game model shows a complete different story I’ve always been wondering why?
The most convenient models for hitboxes and/or devs not caring about these details. Consider that the last game with height charts is Tekken 3. We don't actually know the height of characters from T4 onwards
Yeah accurate lore background wise Kazuya is suppose to be 2nd tallest Mishima after Jinpaichi, while Heihachi is the 2nd heaviest( weight wise) Mishima after Jinpaichi. Jin is the 3rd tallest and 4th heaviest Mishima, and Lars is the smallest
Dude heihachi is the tallest in game model he looks like 2 inches taller than Kazuya Jin looks taller than Kazuya by an inch and looks a little buffer him and Lars looks like the shortest out of this family it’s so weird though because confirmed data Lars is supposed to be the 2nd tallest after jinpachi and slightly shorter is Kazuya and another slightly shorter is Jin than inch shorter is heihachi Mishima but he used to to be the same height as Jin when he was younger but in game model it’s a different story.
@Eduardo Delgado Alfonso Lopez no from Tekken Lore and the actual background data. In the game until Tekken 8 they finally fix that in which many players complained that many character's proportions especially Kazuya looks weird and stated it wasn't lore accurate. Kazuya was supposed to be the 2nd tallest Mishima behind Jinpaichi Lore wise and 3rd biggest(weight wise) Mishima behind Heihachi and Jinpaichi. Jin is the 4th biggest and 4th tallest and Lars is the smallest Mishima unless you want to Include Lee aswell.
It's so weird to think I grew up with these characters back in TEKKEN 2 onward as a tiny kid Now in real life I'm older than majority of the characters I grew up playing LMAAAOOO
Lili being the same height even without heels is hilarious. Maybe all the women have similar feet models? Or they just let her have a few inches so the gameplay (as per Kuma and Panda) won’t be affected. For Noctis you can just put the Caelum emblem (as seen in car sticker in FFXV) but I understand if that’s more work lol. Thanks for this approximate reference! It’s nice to see these stats.
Xiaoyu was always 3 years younger than Jin, ever since their debut in Tekken 3. She was just a freshman, while Jin was already a senior in Mishima High School. Since Tekken 4, Xiaoyu is still a junior, while Jin either graduated, or dropped out.
I find the women’s height weird because Anna Williams was tall af in Tekken 3…she would literally be slightly crouching in their fighting stance and be the same height as most male characters lol
1:36 uhhhhh excuse me dude actually marduk is 7'10 And JACK-7 Is 7'8 Cause his head Looks 7'8 And Marduk his head Looks 7'10 and fahkumram actually he Looks 6'10 but i don know if he don look like 6'7 marduk don look Like 7'0 Cause why it Looks tha Same 1:40 Gigas and fahkumram and don look like a Same height 6'7 only gigas Looks 6'8 And Fahkumram Looks 6'10 jack-7 he Looks like 7'8 is good Same height size 235 and marduk he Looks 7'10 height size 237 thats what i had to say for these height size characters 0:19
I remember the issue of the official PlayStation magazine with the Tekken 3 review and there was an artwork on the front cover showing Eddy Gordo, Jin Kazama, Hwoarang and Ling Xiaoyu side by side, and because Jin and Hwoarang are both 5ft 11in making them nearly 6ft and Eddy looked taller that them both I could only see Jin, Hwoarang and Eddy because that particular issue came with a demo disc which covered the part of the image showing Xiaoyu which means she must be VERY TINY I'm guessing.
Regular pandas in standing position height between 150 and 180 cms (yup, they are small bears). Keeps triggering me that Panda in the game is THAT tall lol
Jin's height comes from Tekken 3 and he was 19 there. You could try and justify the fact he's taller than Kaz game model by saying he was still growing
There's a couple of corrections you gotta make to this video, pal. Check the comments. Other than that, very enjoyable to see this... even though some things kind of don't look "coherent" even in the game.
It’s never been officially confirmed but Eliza is from Monaco since she was discovered buried underneath Lili’s mansion & was also found to have ties to Lili (sisters?)

Ain't no way. This would insist that the king of iron fist tournament is not annual. Xiaoyu been a teenager easy too long. Jin gotta at least be 23 now.
In game Fahkuram is shorter than Marduk and yet in his promo trailer his far taller than him. Kinda shocked the new characters apart from Lidia their official age hasn't been revealed.
Well, Harada confirmed that Fahkumram is THAT tall. But for gameplay purposes, they couldn't make him so tall because that would be pretty broken, both in his favor and against him

There's something odd about Xiaoyu's age, she was Jin's Classmate wasn't she? she should've the same age
They went to the same school but must be in different classes.
Xiaoyu was always 3 years younger than Jin. She debuted in Tekken at age 16, while Jin was 19. That would make her a freshman, while Jin would be a senior.

You're right.

Is just past Tekken games the character models made certain characters smaller until Tekken 8 which fixed most of that and some of the horrible proportions of Tekken 7. Kazuya is actually taller and bigger than his son.

Canonically, Nina is in her 40's, but because of that cryogenic sleep, she's still technically in her 20's
There's no universe where Dragunov is in his twenties lol

@@Baset_ I don’t think that in a Tekken story that’s it’s necessary for all of them to play a fighter’s role.
To have Drago in the background as a general that works his way into TK6 would be cool.
Don’t need to give coverage to everything and have fights like Lilli v Paul in a would-be cinematic game or animation
Am working on something like this and starting with Jin n Kaz, by the way
@@TheTyroofToriyama I love how the entire Tekken community collectively agree that if another live action was made, we want Mads for Dragunov
Since Gigas is most likely Katarina's father, he must he brazillian as well. Also, Katarina looks like she's in her late 20's
Adoptive father, but it still makes sense for him to be Brazilian. Nothing indicates otherwise.
Nina and Anna were placed into Cryogenic Sleep for 15 years, that is why they are physically young in the current game.
NINA 43 years old ( physically 28 years old)
ANNA 41 years old ( Physically 26 years old)
In japanese games (not only but most notably) it's common to depict young characters unrealistically and stop their aging, or at least make it minimal.
Kids and elders have mostly realistic looks in the sense of signs of age... the problem (apparently) is that the devs don't want late teens and late adults to age correctly. It's almost like it's a taboo.
SF, TK, SC, KOF, DOA, etc. If you pay attention, in all of them there's minimal to no aging of chars from those mentioned age groups.
KOF, at least they did age since a year base sequel system up until KOF 2003, then the rest of the games work like any other fighting game and, of course, some retconing too
Because Japanes people love youth. Also Asians age slower so a young 30yo female jp girl often looks more youthful than average white American that looks like spoilt milk at that point.
The guys do generally age though, T8 Jin looks older than 21yo for sure, and SF6 Ryu definitely is rocking that beard for a reason now. Paul and Law also looks older. Even Nina looks quite mature now.
Yeah I mean, Lili 16? Sure.
hm, in the game files we can see an abbreviation of Zafina is "qt" (sometimes "qa"), so i was always sure she is Qatarian
Maybe she's just a quick time event
The characters' ages always "baffled" me, but that is because, well, only about half a decade *at best* happened between Tekken 3 and Tekken 8. These characters, and their world, have gone through way too much in such a short amount of time

Hey Buff Gigas, you're channel really is slowly but surely growing. Just wanna say good job.
Thanks a lot
Yea ur right.
The heights in t7 is not always right if you compare them to info from the manuals and such (T3 - TTT1 manuals etc).
And I guess you also have to pay attention to the character's foot wear and the Mishimas' long ass hair as well.
A lot of the developer stated heights do NOT match the ingame models , also akuma while not exactly tall is WAYYY more jacked than i realized he makes some of the other characters physiques look small in comparison
Heihachi is the tallest in game model he looks like 2 inches taller than Kazuya Jin looks taller than Kazuya by an inch and looks a little buffer him and Lars looks like the shortest out of this family it's so weird though because confirmed data Lars is supposed to be the 2nd tallest after jinpachi and slightly shorter is Kazuya and another slightly shorter is Jin than inch shorter is heihachi Mishima but he used to to be the same height as Jin when he was younger but in game model it's a different story.
Tekken Characters heights a lot them are off despite confirmed data but the game model shows a complete different story I’ve always been wondering why?
The most convenient models for hitboxes and/or devs not caring about these details. Consider that the last game with height charts is Tekken 3. We don't actually know the height of characters from T4 onwards
Lili been the same height ever since she was 3

Yeah accurate lore background wise Kazuya is suppose to be 2nd tallest Mishima after Jinpaichi, while Heihachi is the 2nd heaviest( weight wise) Mishima after Jinpaichi. Jin is the 3rd tallest and 4th heaviest Mishima, and Lars is the smallest
Dude heihachi is the tallest in game model he looks like 2 inches taller than Kazuya Jin looks taller than Kazuya by an inch and looks a little buffer him and Lars looks like the shortest out of this family it’s so weird though because confirmed data Lars is supposed to be the 2nd tallest after jinpachi and slightly shorter is Kazuya and another slightly shorter is Jin than inch shorter is heihachi Mishima but he used to to be the same height as Jin when he was younger but in game model it’s a different story.
@Eduardo Delgado Alfonso Lopez no from Tekken Lore and the actual background data. In the game until Tekken 8 they finally fix that in which many players complained that many character's proportions especially Kazuya looks weird and stated it wasn't lore accurate. Kazuya was supposed to be the 2nd tallest Mishima behind Jinpaichi Lore wise and 3rd biggest(weight wise) Mishima behind Heihachi and Jinpaichi. Jin is the 4th biggest and 4th tallest and Lars is the smallest Mishima unless you want to Include Lee aswell.
@@mareo187 Lars is confirmed to be 183 m/ 6 foot tall
I agree Jin Kazama is the 3rd Tallest
Lars is Swedish so he should be the tallest
It's so weird to think I grew up with these characters back in TEKKEN 2 onward as a tiny kid
Now in real life I'm older than majority of the characters I grew up playing LMAAAOOO
I didn't know Panda couldn't connect that move. Tekken is truly amazing.
GODDAMN LEE IS 48 YEARS OLD
At least in Tekken 7 that's the case but in 8 he and Kazuya are 49 and 50 respectively
They need to buff Gigas's nationality.
Lili being the same height even without heels is hilarious. Maybe all the women have similar feet models? Or they just let her have a few inches so the gameplay (as per Kuma and Panda) won’t be affected.
For Noctis you can just put the Caelum emblem (as seen in car sticker in FFXV) but I understand if that’s more work lol.
Thanks for this approximate reference! It’s nice to see these stats.
Well at least we know Josie is a professional kick boxer and a model. Sounds like an adult to me 👍🏾
I swear Xiaoyu is around Jin's age. Like 1 year below or the same age.
Its funny l always thought that they were pretty old as a kid but now l will be 21...and l think that they are very young
Xiaoyu was always 3 years younger than Jin, ever since their debut in Tekken 3. She was just a freshman, while Jin was already a senior in Mishima High School. Since Tekken 4, Xiaoyu is still a junior, while Jin either graduated, or dropped out.

I remember the issue of the official PlayStation magazine with the Tekken 3 review and there was an artwork on the front cover showing Eddy Gordo, Jin Kazama, Hwoarang and Ling Xiaoyu side by side, and because Jin and Hwoarang are both 5ft 11in making them nearly 6ft and Eddy looked taller that them both I could only see Jin, Hwoarang and Eddy because that particular issue came with a demo disc which covered the part of the image showing Xiaoyu which means she must be VERY TINY I'm guessing.
It would be cool to see a Soulcalibur VI character height video!
Damn i keep forgetting that jin is in the same age as me
i love that jin has been in his 20s for 30 years
Lars is now 5’11, Jin 6ft, Leroy 6’1.5”, Nina 5’6”, Asuka 5’5.75”, Claudio 5’11”, Hwoarang 6’0.5”, Lili 5’11”. Some close others not lol.
Pretty sure Lee Chaolan is a Chinese orphan, who then moved to Japan once he was adopted by Heihachi
All the Mishima heights are wrong Lars is the smallest while Heihachi is the tallest and Jin looks like his inch taller than Kazuya
It's inaccurate in game but Wikipedia said that Kazuya height are 181 cm while Jin 180 cm

Regular pandas in standing position height between 150 and 180 cms (yup, they are small bears). Keeps triggering me that Panda in the game is THAT tall lol
These ages are so unexpectedly absurd that I was half expecting Leroy to turn out 17 or something

It's really weird viewing all these characters as older when I was a kid and a teen, now I'm older than half of them 👴
Jin's height comes from Tekken 3 and he was 19 there. You could try and justify the fact he's taller than Kaz game model by saying he was still growing
Yeah Jin's taller than in game Kaz, Lars as well Hwoarang, he's probably 183cm

Armor King II may have the same age as the Original King(from tekken 1 and 2)
Imagine being shorter and still look bigger than kazuya and Jin (look at heihachi)
They are a lot of characters who are my age, 28. Especially my dear Lars :) I thought Jin was more in between 20-25
I was today years old when I found out that Marduk was actually Australian
Feng Wei and Dragonov are 26??? wtf I thought they were like in their late 30's or early 40's..
How did you make all of the characters do the same pose?
Because some characters do their fighting pose
They used a mod to make every char assume the pose the do when you customize them
They are queuing to get into Tekken 8. 😁
(Yea, some of them already skipped the queue to get in)
I just do not understand how Panda told Kuma that she is older than him in Tekken 5 (I think) and Kuma is 1 year older than her.
Jin and Xiaoyu were highschool classmates, how is Xiaoyu 18 while Jin is 21???
Jin was probably a senior while Xiaoyu was like a freshman or sophomore which is like 3-4 age difference
Ganryu is 35 years older than Julia Chang?
bruh whole time I though dragunov was in his like 40s or something but bro a year older than me
Armor King is from Mexico as well, its some other guy from the orphanage if i remember correctly, Gigas is Katarinas dad so hes also from Brazil
Wow, I always thought Nina would be a 170. She's pretty smaller than she looks on screen
Nina is short lol
It’s never been officially confirmed but Eliza is from Monaco since she was discovered buried underneath Lili’s mansion & was also found to have ties to Lili (sisters?)
They created all new character models for tekken 8 so hopefully we’ll have accurate and officials heights
Okay, Marduk, Fahkumram, Bryan, Dragunov, and Eddy are all older than Feng, just let that sink in🤡
I think when characters are in the air either their size reduce or increase matching the enemy character.
I guess Jack is from Russia but since the newest Jack is from G corp and kazuya is the leader of ag corp I guess Jack 7 is Japanese
Ling Xiaoyu, being fluent in Japanese and never speaking Chinese(at least I never heard), might even say:
"Years ago I was Chinese"
That’s because she was pretty much raised in Japan, staying in the Mishima residence & and attending Mishima Polytec, so she became fluent
@@aisuru6690 I was just making a reference to Shenmue. I know her story(whether I remember or don't is another question, I have a really bad memory of things) since I played Tekken 5 and watched movie. God, I love typing a lot of words.
Ain't no way. This would insist that the king of iron fist tournament is not annual. Xiaoyu been a teenager easy too long. Jin gotta at least be 23 now.
They’ve always been 3 years apart, 16 and 19 when they debuted, 19 & 22 now in T8
Street fighter characters are always designed to be like they are all on steroids.
If all characters are same from Tekken 1 to Tekken 8. Then, no any confusion will create?
Wait, how is Kuma a year older than Panda? She says she's "too old for him" in Tekken 5!
In game Fahkuram is shorter than Marduk and yet in his promo trailer his far taller than him. Kinda shocked the new characters apart from Lidia their official age hasn't been revealed.
Well, Harada confirmed that Fahkumram is THAT tall. But for gameplay purposes, they couldn't make him so tall because that would be pretty broken, both in his favor and against him
