Tekken 8 Fans Are Going All Out With The Character Customizer

Reddit user shmick28 posted a video of Tekken 8 protagonist and hot boy Jin Kazama cosplaying as Resident Evil’s Leon Scott Kennedy. It looks really good. So good, in fact, that folks in the replies thought it was a PC mod.

Another Jin Kazama cosplay, this time redditor Daniero1994 dressed the Mishima family member as David Martinez from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime.

User KneeVuna19 turned the vampire-like Sergei Dragunov into an MMA fighter, replete with a bald head and thick beard. The only thing missing is some tattoos.

King was outfitted with a green hat and shirt. Goosehoward23 captioned their Reddit post with “can’t beat what you can’t see,” which made me think of John Cena. But, the more I think about it, the more I’m inclined to believe this is Luigi.

The jaguar-headed wrestler is back, with redditor makan8 dressing him as Mario.

Jin Kazama’s half-uncle and the illegitimate son Heihachi Mishima, Lars Alexandersson, makes a good Son Goku, as redditor Gooddest_Boi demonstrates.

Reddit user Vectormus got Lars to don a different outfit, this time the super soldier is stunting on Tekken opponents as Metroid’s space-faring super-soldier Samus Aran.

One of Tekken 8's newest characters, and the one I’m most stoked to play as, is the katana-wielding, Colonel Sanders-looking secret agent Victor Chevalier. Thanks to Reddit user Silenti7, the Frenchman is showing up and showing out as John Wick.

Elsewhere in the Tekken subreddit, user Ricochu__ pulled off a great cosplay of Mortal Kombat’s blind swordsman Kenshi Takahashi using Victor as the base.

Redditor VarenOfTatooine took the humanoid weapon Jack-8 and put him in the outfit Monkey D. Luffy wears in One Piece. Honestly, though, considering Straw Hat Pirate Crew member Franky is a big-ass cyborg, too, that would’ve been a better fit.

I’m not sure how Spiritti came up with this one, but they posted an image of Paul Phoenix dressed up as the lovable cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants.

Another member of the Mishima Family, redditor Wintermute_088 thought Asuka Kazama would make a good character for a Weapon X/Wolverine costume.

This one makes total sense, as master ninja Raven already kinda looks like Blade.

Another one that makes sense. Since Kuma is a gigantic bear, of course, someone was going to dress them up as Smokey the Bear, and Mediveal answered the call.

There are plenty of other characters being customized, so I encourage you to peruse the Tekken subreddit, where you’ll find a bevy of cosplay and costumes to laugh at. Anyway, Tekken 8 is getting high praise from critics and fans alike. It’s shaping up to be one of the most approachable entries for a series that’s notorious for being “anti-beginner.”
