Turn Tekken 8 characters into the protagonists of Resident Evil, Metal Gear or even One Piece using only the in-game character editor


Normally, if we think of a fighting game type all-starsthe most likely thing is that one from the Super Smash Brothers saga comes to mind, but how do you feel if I tell you that Tekken 8 can compete in that field thanks to its character editor? If you want to see characters like Ryu, Ada Wong, Luffy or Snake beating yourself up in the Bandai Namco game, here we give you some ideas.

One of the functions that many of us overlook at first in fighting games are the character editors. These tools allow you to alter the physical appearance of everyone on the game team, or directly transform them into different characters if we know how to combine the elements that make up the character editor with some skill.

Hence we want to give you any ideas to turn your favorite combatants into characters from other sagas or games. And in reality it is not something very complicated or expensive since the elements that can be purchased for customization are various and with a few hours of playor in the mode Arcade Mission you should have enough dough to recreate them.

Zafina as Bayonetta

Thematically, Zafina She is a character that is quite reminiscent of the protagonist of the Bayonetta saga due to her powers, but her initial appearance prevents us from seeing the ”witch” that she has inside. To ”unlock” a Cherry We barely have to make changes to the protagonist of Tekken:

  • Lee’s Middle Parted Short Hair (50,000 coins if we don’t have it)
  • Square Glasses
  • Fairy Wings (50,000 if we don’t have them unlocked)

We made a few color settings so that she resembles the protagonist of the saga and that’s it, Bayonetta can now beat up the Tekken team like she does with the Angels and Demons of the games she stars in.

Jin Kazama as Ryu from Street Fighter

In a boast of recognition (or at least that’s what I want to believe) to its main rival in the field of fighting games, Bandai Namco makes it possible for its main protagonist, Jin, to transform into Ryu (a fight that would certainly be worth seeing), and the best thing is that the options to achieve it are also very simple:

  • Japanese bandana (short)
  • karate jacket and gloves
  • Short Karate Pants with Obi (150,000 if we don’t have it unlocked)
  • Without any shoes

Although Jin reflects Ryu quite well with this outfit, you may want to try to adapt it with a character who has ranged attacks to somehow replicate his Hadooken, although it already looks good.

Jun Kazama as Tifa

Yes, we know, this character has already been requested but at the moment neither Square Enix nor Bandai Namco have confirmed his presence or that of other guests in the eighth installment of Tekken. But in case the initiative does not come to fruition or to kill time while the miracle is worked, Jun can act as Tifa with this clothing combo:

  • In head, we took off his headband.
  • Tank Top (150,000 if we don’t have it unlocked)
  • Miniskirt with double stripe (or cutoff jeans, both pieces for 150,000 if not unlocked)
  • Footwear to taste or as similar

Others so many color settings to our liking and list; There are other variations to offer Tifa in the game like Jun, but this is a simple one to do and that is quite close to who we seek to replicate.

Hwoarang as Super Mario

We choose Hwoarang for not repeating Jin as a basis for a character and because his posture and fighting style is reminiscent of that of Italian plumber in Smash Brothers. You have to play with color in all cases here:

  • delivery boy cap
  • Scruffy beard (mustache)
  • Long raglan sleeve t-shirt (red and blue colors and the detail of the gloves is white)
  • Formal Pants
  • Boots

The good thing about this pattern is that can representdepending on how we combine the colors, Classic Mario from the 90s or the one who reversed the patterns from the 3D era with Super Mario 64. Don’t forget to cchange hair to Hwoarangand so we are left with a Super Mario like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

Lars as Leon S. Kennedy

Due to its less oriental features, lars fits better than any other character act as Leonapart from also his physical form since his model matches more with his appearance in the Capcom saga:

  • Cut with bangs (50,000 if you don’t have it unlocked)
  • Aviator Jacket (adjust colors)
  • Pants to taste (preferably Cowboys)
  • Footwear to taste
  • Shotgun accessory on the back (50,000 if you don’t have it unlocked)

It’s a shame there aren’t more accessories to represent Leon with the other weapons; if anything the crossbowbut considering that what he is going to use in Tekken are his fists, we could even skip putting any on him, although it adds points to representing the former Raccoon City police officer in the opening stages of Resident Evil 4.

Leo as Luffy from One Piece

He small appearance of Leo makes it the perfect base to recreate the leader of the gang of the Straw Hat Pirates. Even his posture makes us think that he could perfectly pass for Luffy if he were a fan of Cossplays, although he lacks the goofy but affable smile of the protagonist of One Piece:

  • Straw hat
  • We changed to black hair
  • biker vest (150,000 coins if we do not have it unlocked; we change the color to red and the shirt to a light tone)
  • Ripped short jeans (150,000 if you don’t have them unlocked)
  • Barefoot

By request, I hope they add in the future the possibility of incorporate scars, since the immaculate face of the young fighter is missing the scar that the future Pirate King got as a child to show that he was not afraid of anything.

Victor Chevalier as Snake or Big Boss

The French agent and new addition to the history of the saga allows you to play with your base to represent well Big Boss (he is closer to his age) in Metal Gear 3 or a Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 2. It is not possible to replicate his operational suit as faithfully as one could, but you will see how it works:

  • Hair color changes to dark
  • Eye patch (for Big Boss, yes we take off his glasses just, Snake)
  • Long Japanese Bandana (color change; 50,000 if not unlocked)
  • We buy outfits for the whole body Combat Style (1,000,000)

Is expensive do it, but it’s worth it, apart from the fact that Chevalier’s movements, his use of blades and his other ranged weapons hit him likemain character of the Metal Gear saga.

Nina Williams as Ada Wong

If we have done Leon before, it is only fair that we try to replicate his ”crush” (at times) and mercenary co-star of Resident Evil 2 and 4. Due to playing style and physical proportions, Nina Williams She is the best candidate of the fighters of Tekken 8 to represent it with the following settings:

  • Short hair and bangs (changing to brunette obviously; 50,000 coins if you don’t have it unlocked)
  • We take off his glasses.
  • In ”All the body”, we choose TK Style 8 Option B (below I tell you how to unlock it), and we dye it red; we change the color of the shoes to black

Is a very simple recreationand you can perhaps add some weapons like Lars in Leon style, but by itself she already works, and as a Chevalier, her movements in combat match the mercenary that Nina wants to represent like this.

How to Unlock TK8 Style Option B

This character is the one who offers us the combat to unlock the Nina outfit that we need

To get this suit no need to spend money. You simply have to emerge victorious from a fight with the super ghost specified. You will find it in the corresponding Offline section (see image above). After fighting him and defeating him, the Nina Williams costume that you need to recreate Ada Wong will be available and you can edit it to put it on.

Note that if you want to find other ideas for ”makeup” for your favorite Tekken 8 characters, there is a generous amount on the Tekken reddit abundance of ideastips and advice for making your own creations, and it’s an equally great place to share what you make.
