>All 3 main characters are villains

>Tekken 7 isn't even focused on the story anymore
7 literally has a whole mode called "story" user. A Mishima actually really dies in it by the hands of another Mishima.

Hellsing Ultimate did it

t. zoomer who thinks heihachi will ever permanently die

I thought Jin was a good guy

>zoomer
unless you were playing in 97 don't reply to me

If Heihachi comes back Akuma will fail to kill him again and the circle will continue.

Jin is actually worse. Heihachi and Kazuya do bad things and say "yeah? So what? Do something about it if you are so great, im the bad guy? Boo hoo."
Jin on the other hand does ATROCIOUS things like take multiple countries to war under the sanctimonious belief "im not destroying the world! Im saving it! Im the only one who can and it MUST be this way! Im the good guy!"

Jin isn't really a villain anymore. He's a tragic anti hero that resents his bloodline and his parental figures that betrayed him. He could've killed both at the end of Tekken 4 but wasn't evil enough.

Heihachi is dead user. They wouldn't build the entire story to end with Kazuya throwing him into lava only to bullshit him back into Tekken 8 canonically. He will obviously reappear in sequels as a vision or ghost like Kazumi.

>t-t-this time he's dead!
You kids never learn

The beauty of Tekken's core story is that it constantly blurs the lines between hero and villain.
>Kazuya starts the series as the protagonist, only to be corrupted by power and the devil gene to become a recurring antagonist. He is driven by revenge, but he is more complex than merely being a villain, as you can argue that his fate was fixed when he was thrown off that cliff as a kid. The way it is framed initially in T7, you think his need for revenge is justified, despite his morally questionable actions. But the backstory of the devil gene flips this on its head, leading you to question whether him going down this dark path was inevitable whether Heihachi threw him off that cliff or not.
>Heihachi, on the other hand, starts the series as the antagonist, becomes the protagonist of Tekken 2, only to become the antagonist again until Tekken 7, where his deeper motivations reveal him to be an anti-hero of sorts. He's done bad things, but for what he perceives to be a good reason.
>Jin is a very interesting character as there is seemingly a constant battle between good and evil in his characterisation: being the son of the altruistic Jun, and the devilish Kazuya, leads to this conflict. And despite being the protagonist for a time, it seems his own search for revenge leads him down a similar path as Kazuya, when he becomes the leader of the Zaibatsu and starts a war. Like Kazuya, you must ask whether this quest for vengeance led him to break bad, or if his fate was predetermined in his blood. Will he gain redemption in Tekken 8? Or will this constant cycle of hate and revenge continue?

I know this is a tad over-analytical for a fighting game series, but this series presents an interesting character study, with nuanced, morally gray characters. The devil gene, while a supernatural element of the lore, can be considered a metaphor thematically imo: a representation of inherited hatred, hate breeding hate.

As you can tell, I love this series.

>oh nvm about all my dead family from the war, that one countries corporate dictator was actually just tragic and misunderstood all along

Back in T3/T4, yeah. Not anymore.

Completely agree, despite some nonsense Tekken's story is K I N O

Just bought Tekken 7 and I’m having trouble figuring out who to main with so many characters. What are some good easy characters for a beginner to learn.

Claudio, Shaheen and Kazumi are the easy mode beginner characters. They're also pretty boring to play though, but Claudio at least has a sort of unique gimmick I guess.

>What are some good easy characters for a beginner to learn
There is a reason Paul Pheonix is the most played character in the game. If you REALLY want to go low IQ mode though there is Law and if you REALLY want to be a fucking fraud asshole about it there is Katarina as well.

Kill yourself.

Katarina was designed for maximum new. You can do some pretty decent combos using only one button. Also eddie has always been masher friendly.

Noctis is no Katarina but he can do decent damage without requiring you to be big brained.

What kind of retarded conclusion is that

But Death by degrees say otherwise.

>throwing him into lava
He's a Mishima, he's used to it. That shit was probably like a facelift for him, he's gonna show up in T8 looking fine
