Tekken 8 launched last week Friday to mostly positive reviews from players and critics. However, the game’s extensive customisation options have opened the floodgates for plenty of inspired recreations to be posted online including Leon from Resident Evil, 2B from Nier Automata and even Jotaro from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The possibilities, while not endless, are certainly impressive.
Tekken 8 gained some traction over the weekend when players began posting videos and images of their close-enough recreations of popular video game and movie characters. Given the game’s decently sized list of possible outfit and colour combinations, as well as accessories for that added touch, it was inevitable that many would go to great lengths to create their favourite pop culture characters in the game using the available roster of fighters as blueprints.
