Cause he's frickin nutty and solid as always. Besides, he's also just cool. Doesn't talk much, uses his actions and fists instead, builds model kits as a hobby, feared but doesn't really give much of a shit about his reputation especially these days, unamused facial expression at all times despite whimsical hobby. He's just a cool dude in addition to being really good.
>shaheen
Boring character with no personality. He literally just plays fundamental Tekken with no real gimmicks to make him unique >Leroy
Used to be broken, now he isn’t and his playstyle isn’t interesting enough for most people. >Zafina
Heavily nerfed to the point where she might as well be useless. >Ling
Difficult character to play, the whole demure Asian girl archetype isn’t as interesting to most people compared to cool fighting tomboy. >Panda
Kuma got Heihachi moves now so he’s the cooler bear. >Raven
This one’s weird because I expected him to be more popular because Blade is cool but I guess people just don’t vibe with his playstyle.
As for the top pics: >Reina
Cute waifu tomboy >Jin
Literally the main character of the series, is much easier to pick up and very beginner friendly in 8. >Victor
Easy to just spam and win with at low ranks, people haven’t really figured out the matchup yet. >King
Fan favourite.
Once Armor King drops he’s gonna be one of the most picked characters in the game and he’s black. Wonder how Bruce would fare since he has a pretty modest fan base too.
He’s really fun to play, cool mute badass character that still had a lot of levity in his endings. He’s also really good.
I mean, it makes sense to have a Thai guy as the Muay Thai practitioner of the game, especially since there weren't any Thai characters in Tekken before. The big problem is that frickyourmom has the most unappealing character design ever. Besides, we have like five Mishima karate practitioners, there’s room for two Muay Thai guys.
>Why is drag so popular? >Spacing is fundamental fro Tekken? >i bypassed your stupid spacing with fff2 >(also i have lows that have plus on hit and mids that are plus on block, guess what? its 50/50 all day and you are not allowed to press buttons)
He is most cheapest of all cheap top tier prostitutes.
He's the perfect online character. Oppressive mids that are either ch launch, or are + on block (in some cases both). Good lows to retain your "turn". Strong counter hit moves to remind your opponent that you shouldn't press buttons while they're minus. Bunch of "gotcha" moves with delayable extensions. Command grabs for each break, and grab mixups are scrubkillers because majority of the playerbase can't break them by looking at the hands.
On top of all that, he's actually top tier and people tend to gravitate towards strong characters, however I believe he would still be top 10 even if he was in his late Tekken 7 state because he's just a cool ass character.

It's a mystery.
Gamers will just pick which ever character is most over powered.
or sexiest. and reina is a fricking babe
Why is drag so popular? Marlin Manson looking ass.

i still wonder why they got rid of bruce, the archetypal muay thai guy, and replaced him with fahkumran two games later

Can't help but notice that the new characters all have a high usage rate.
I dunno, I'd play a bear
People will just use whatever character is the strongest.
>most played chars
>top tier cheap prostitutes
>waifu bait (Reina)
>perfect good boy (Jin)
>perfect ebil boy (Kazuya, good sells better)
shaheen is arguably top 3, but hes bottom 3 popularity
>shaheen is arguably top 3,
He is top but he is not CHEAP prostitute like victor or dragunov, or lolthrowsnowseeth king.

idgi
he was mid tier in usage in 7
but the reason is that he's COMPRETERY dead
Heihachi isn't unpopular, he's dead IRL.
You mean furries. Why isn't the population at large ok with furries. Because you are aids.

framewhisperer has a good vid for it
What happened to Bruce?
Got replaced by Bryan, Josie, and Frickyourmom.
Honestly this looks pretty healthy.
Almost all character has above 1% and diffrence between best and worst is 5%+
Looks pretty good
>ling
>1,67%
>hwoarang below Jin
We deserve a thermonuclear apocalypse.
A lot of noobs stick to Jin cus you play him in story mode. Also he is noob friendly.
Tekken players are by far the biggest tierprostitutes out of all fighting games communities.
Cmon, 18% on of top tier prostitutes is not that bad. Tekken actually have good distribution of played chars.
Charts like this make me want to play the bottom one just from spite
I only play the footgay fanservice girl. If a game doesn't have one, I don't play it.

wheres josie?
In Tekken 7
I pick King because he looks cool as frick is why
Same except I don't have Tekken 8 because I'm poor.
King is Cool
KING SWEEP
>Make a cute autistic girl fighter
>she's the most popular
really makes you think
>Paul's design was so ass he dropped multiple spots
What the frick were they thinking?

Why is Reina so popular as a waifu?
She double dips with coomers and edgelords.
her femdom attitude is what sells me on her
you fall on the coomer side
happily so

>morons can't wrap their heads around the idea of people having preferences.
>MUST be racism! can't possibly be anything else!
despite only making 2.94% of the population, Lili players make up over 50% of rage quits
