The Tekken character resemblences.

[MoonSoo]

I'll be the first to say right now that quite a few characters from Tekken share remarkable resemblences to many others outside of Tekken, both from different video games and actual people. This thread here is to discuss about those who do and don't.

I will list those who do resemble others below.

Obvious Resemblences


Marshall/Forrest Law and Bruce Lee




Lei Wulong and Jacky Chan




Raven and Wesley Snipes as Blade



(Will do more later)

Sergei Dragunov and Goh Hinogami (Virtua Fighter)

Sergei Dragunov

Goh Hinogami


First of all, bear with me. There's more than it meets the eye.

They both have pale-white skin with a scar across their face (two for Goh).
Both Dragunov and Goh have a grappling-style of fighting (Dragunov does Combat Sambo while Goh does Judo).
Lastly, they both come from a more balanced remake of the series's most recent game (Dark Ressurection and Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution), added along with one other brand new character that is mostly a striker (Lili and Brad Burns) That and the fact that they're both evil.

Moon Soo, I'm surprised you didn't go for the OBVIOUS one. But, good job. I can see the resemblance. However, I choose Goh. Because, uhm, blue. Blue is better. And I hate Russia (not really).





The first is Sarah Bryant, of Virtua Fighter, and the second is Nina Williams, of Tekken. Obviously, the blond hair, the blue eyes. Also, the serious damage they do with kicks in their respective games. And the skin tight clothing they are oh-so fond of. They both also have a thing with tight bodysuits. Sarah's is blue, while Nina's varies in color. They are also two of the older characters in their games (Nina being all the way from the beginning with Tekken, and Sarah since VF2).

At first glance, they look like almost the same person, don't they... even the bangs... it's really quite amazing.

And I don't want to hear complaining about VF's lack of original characters. I beat people who say those things. (Rawr, Aoi Umenokouji is teh best!) Every fighting game has a blond pinup girl. Mary Ryan, Sarah Bryant, Nina Williams, Tina Armstrong, Sophitia Alexandra, etc...

Paul Phoenix and Ryo from KOF99 are really alike

Both wear a red/orange Gi. Both are trying to be the stongest even though they are sometimes a joke (Ryo making fun of SF and Paul of Heihachi and Wang and his ending) both have a trademark move of a hard punch...Paul = DF or phoenix smasher and Ryo has a Desperation move which is a single punch...so far i dont got anymore..  

[Kou - Leifou]

Eddy Gordo and Lenny Cravitz. It's like they were seperated at birth.  

[Sugihide]

Violet, Sarah made her debut in the first Virtua Fighter, not Virtua Fighter 2.  

[Violet Meira]

Oh, my mistake. Sarah's my second least favorite girl from Virtua Fighter, so I don't care. Thank you for correcting me, though (I only have VF3tb, VF4, and VF4Evo).

Eddy Gordo and Lenny Cravitz... well, I can see it... Sorta...  

[Violet Meira]

The first is LiLi, of Tekken 5 biggrin R, and the second is Rose, of KOF '03. They both have long blond hair, brown eyes, and are European (LiLi's from Monaco, and I think Rose is German... Sugihide?). Both are annoying, though Rose doesn't fight, she just likes being a brat. Both only appear in one game (well, two once Tekken 6 and the PS3 are released, and I'm sure Rose and Adelheid are going to make another appearance in KOF).

I'll probably come up with another one later.  

[Tekkensennin]

Do these count?


Kazama Jin (yeah yeah, I photoshopped the colors)


Uchiha Sasuke (Naruto)



Devil Jin


Uchiha Sasuke (Cursed seal)

Ok, I heard that Raven looks like Blade....and he does to..well in a way!



 

[Shadow__Dweller]

I was just about to suggest the Raven and Blade looklike thing, it was mentioned in a magazine I read criticising the game 3nodding sweatdrop

Moon Soo, I'm surprised you didn't go for the OBVIOUS one.

I felt like going for something a little more fun instead of just going too obvious.  

[Kou - Leifou]

Violet Meira

Oh, my mistake. Sarah's my second least favorite girl from Virtua Fighter, so I don't care. Thank you for correcting me, though (I only have VF3tb, VF4, and VF4Evo).

Eddy Gordo and Lenny Cravitz... well, I can see it... Sorta...

Especially when Eddy is wearing his rich boy outfit.  

[Violet Meira]

MoonSoo, you DID go for the obvious ones.

Everyone knows that Marshall Law and Lei Wulong are Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan tributes. I didn't see those at first.

And, yeah... Raven does look like Blade... only, Blade's better. It's the sunglasses and all black that do it.
