Deus Ex Alpha

If you're not a fan of either the Tekken or Soul Calibur series, I'd advise you to play those games or read the first and second articles.



Reading about the recent Soul Calibur 4 that is yet to be released, I've always wondered something:

Yoshimitsu is both a character in Soul Calibur II and Tekken 5, two games I've been playing more and more recently. Both of those games are developed by Namco, so you don't wonder why he is in both. He is one of my favorite characters simply due to the silliness of his attacks (he can do Harakiri for no reason, or fly with his sword)

However Soul Calibur II and Tekken 5 take place in two different times. Soul Calibur II takes place in 1591 and Tekken 5 in modern days, around 2000 or so.

Now in the first Soul Calibur, Yoshimitsu loses his arm in battle and replaces it with a prosthetic one. Which can spin and shit and do tricks.

However, in Tekken 5 the Yoshimitsu displayed ALSO appears to have a prosthetic arm, considering it spins and shit and does tricks as well.

What I don't get is, is Yoshimitsu one person that's been living for a long time, or does the Manji clan select certain people to assume the role of a masked ninja called Yoshimitsu over the centuries?

Hes basically a wooden puppet robot in Soul Calibur, Tekken is a more robotic mechanized creature. He is certainly alive, and the same entity in both games.

I used to love Tekkan 3, Soul Caliber too. Eddie's legs piss me off.

Better question

Why the fuck does Yoshimitsu look like such a faggot in Tekken 5, but much cooler in Tekken 3.

Devil Jin OWNS All.. Devil Kazuya works too >_>

after all jin is his son :/

About yoshi.... can any of you tell me that he is alien or.... Robot.... OR human..?

Devil Jin OWNS All.. Devil Kazuya works too >_>

What a baby scrub, did you know both can be taken done easier than their human forms?

He has no face...

Yoshimitsu's 'face' is just wooden, shaped like how a face should be, but he doesn't have eyes or a mouth just holes carved in where they should be. Maybe this is why he changes costume all of the time, maybe hes just a magical puppet who likes to wear all this gear. Also he rocks in SC4 because of his Quasi-Japanese and British accent.

DOES HE STILL HAVE THAT ONE MOVE

WHERE HE FLIES INTO THE AIR
SPINNING HIS SWORD
AND ITS ON FIRE


ITS CALLED "DEATH COPTER"

I think Yoshimitsu used to be a regular ninja until they gave him his special katana. Then it's like he went all puppet-like and wooden, but I bet he still has human rational thought and emotions.

Of course hes got it, he still has the stab himself while hes in helicopter to take 45% of his life and then 85% if you land on the opponent.
