Maybe in Tekken 9 King will be the one that beat the next devil. Setting the stage for King 3!
@Hilversumborn Ай бұрын
The fact that King got the most views of all the character trailers of Tekken 8 proves that King is the most popular Tekken character.
@Sextus70 Ай бұрын
@@Hilversumborn It's a pity that, just like Paul, he went from being one of the strongest characters in the entire verse to just a journeyman at best. I know that the King introduced since Tekken 3 is actually one of the orphanage kids who took up the torch of the original after he died (the one that Loresmith shows in this video as a nice fanservice), but still I think he deserves some moments to shine in canon.

My favorite of this Teken series so far. The introduction is especially touching. As a Latin American, I appreciate the detail of making the priest speak Spanish (and with a Mexican sounding accent!) instead of English, or worse, some weird Spanglish lol. I thought this one was going to be tough due to the prompts required to render a character as "unique" as King, but surprisingly whatever Gen AI you used did quite well (it even nailed his "family man" attire).
@TheLoresmith Ай бұрын
I like to honour the countries and cultures the characters come from because I think that’s such a cool aspect of the franchise, the variety. I only speak English so i can’t really authenticate, i did try to make a point give him a Mexican accent though, I hope it came across well enough because I can’t tell! 😫 Honestly, yeah it was tough, it took a while to do king, with his “unique” look as you say. you can probably see, it’s not perfect, but it’s something at least 😂 his freaking jaguar head! probably one of the hardest characters, I have a feeling yoshimitsu will be a pain too.
