Tekken: Which Mishima character do you like more? Heihachi, Kazuya, Jin or Lars?

[SDBurton]

my favourite character from the family is definitely jun. wonder if they ever bring her back. i also barely know anything about her backstory even though she's one of my favourite tekken fighters. also how did she and kazuya become a couple. is it like a vegeta and bulma type deal where you just can't imagine them going on dates and stuff but it still happened somehow.

Considering how T7 was the conclusion to the Mishima Saga and them teasing a coming conflict between Kazuya and Jin (which will most likely be dubbed the Kazama saga), I would be legit stunned if Jun didn't make her much anticipated return. Every time Harada made polls of who was the best character she has consistently been in the top 5, if not top 3. People want her back. It's now just a matter of when, not if, and Tekken 8 could be good chance for her if they decide to stick to the story beats of T7.

Jin in S3 was one of the most fun characters I've ever played in a fighting game. For some unexplainable reason Diablo Jim got insanely buffed and Jin got nerfed (and robbed by one of his most iconic move animation) in S4 but I can't see me maining any other Mishima anytime soon, he has a moveset which forcest you to utelize most of it instead of relying on just a few. It's fun to have a character where you know he won't carry you. You either put in the work with Jim or lose over and over again. He represents what I enjoy most in Tekken.

I personally don't care about the story at all, Tekken 6 went to stupid and 7 was bad too, I only care about the wrestling story line which wasn't ruined for now...

Also lol at Lars, what a disaster of a potentially great idea for a interesting character ruined by his shitty design and even more shittier character story and anime bullshit.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Who picked Lars? Show yourselves

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

Always been Heihachi with Kazuya a strong runner up.

 

[Kain]

If Lee is not an option then Kazuya rules.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

Heihachi by a country mile; Dude can be a douchebag AND be fun at the same time;

Kazuya and Jin are so one note.

 

[RailWays]

Of the poll choices, Jin. Tekken 6 and onwards ruined him plot-wise though.

Pretty sure we had this thread before, and the answer is as always Kuma.

Secretly the most level-headed of the Mishimas

Click to shrink...

Correct answer

 

[Siresly]

Jin for being more fun to play, Heihachi for being more fun.

 

[alpha]

I liked Jin before they replaced him with JINO (Jin in name only) in Tekken 6 onward.

New Jin is fucking garbage and he should have just stayed a good guy.

 

[Deleted member 2752]

I see you didn't use the pants-on-fire costume for Jin, now that's just poll manipulation.

Or his other costume:

Just awful.

 

[CJCW?]

You sounded sarcastic in the OP but Lee is the only one of these people I care about at all.

 

[Neoxon]

Until Leroy came along, I was a loyal Jin main since Tekken 3. Even now, he's my secondary. So yeah, Jin.

 

[Ishmael]

Heihachi is one of the greatest assholes in video games. Not only that, but he can talk to bears and travel through time. He's a true renaissance man.

 

[romey]

Asuka died?

 

[Zaied]

Kazuya got me through the Nightmare Train in Tekken 6, so I almost have to vote for him. I think Tekken 4 Jin has the best design, though.

 

[Deleted member 57758]

Probably Jin

The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one

 

[MarcelRguez]

anta yowai wa

 

[IMCaprica]

1. Kazuya
2. Jin
3. Heihachi
4. Lars

 

[Ryuhza]

Asuka died?

Click to shrink...

Asuka isn't a Mishima at all. Not by blood, not by proximity. All she does is futz around with Lili (and Feng Wei once upon a time in Tekken 5)

 

[BadWolf]

Jin easily.

 

[Kneefoil]

Heihachi > Kazuya >> Jin >>>>>>>> Lars

Heihachi and Kazuya are both delightfully evil. Couldn't tell you much about Jin that I like or dislike. He's "just another Mishima" to me, but less fun than the previous two. Lars just sucks.

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

Tekken 3's arcade intro with Jin was possibly the most badass thing 8 year old me had ever seen.
Not a fan of what he became later though.

 

[Jawmuncher]

All future versions of Jin should definitely keep the beard. It's a good piece that lets him stand out from his Dad.

Also Lars might not be popular but I don't think he's a bad character either.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Jin, but only Tekken 3/Tag Jin. Other than that I prefer Kazuya (well Devil technically but they're a joint package now lol ).

 

[SDBurton]

Asuka died?

Click to shrink...

She's a Kazama, not a Mishima.

 

[Mubrik_]

Heihachi >> Jin

 

[Swimble_87]

The answer is:

1) Purple tux T2 Kazuya
2) Blue flame TTT Jin
3) Fur coat T3 Heihachi

 

[Gol]

I main Lars.

But Lars is lame.

 

[Scrappy-Fan92]

It'll always be Jin.

Lars lol even his name is lame.

Click to shrink...

It's just a common name. No less common than Jin.

Anyways, of the four in the poll, I'd say Heihachi is the most entertaining, but Jin is probably who I gravitate towards the most. Lars is the only one who I would say is an actual good person. Jin would've fell in the same boat before Tekken 6 happened.

The best members of the combined Mishima-Kazama clan are Lee, Kuma II, and Asuka.

 

[Paragon]

My first Tekken game was 3 and Jin is on the cover, has the canon ending, and was my main in that game. I've moved onto other characters now but Jin is always going to be the first thing I associate with Tekken in my mind.

 

[Lunar Wolf]

Asuka isn't a Mishima at all. Not by blood, not by proximity. All she does is futz around with Lili (and Feng Wei once upon a time in Tekken 5)

Click to shrink...

I remember when Tekken 5 brought Asuka to replace Jun as a fighter, ship teased her with Jin and started implying she might be important to the story only for all that to mean nothing.

Now all she does is flirt with Lili

The only way Asuka is gaining relevance again is if the next saga is called the Kazama Saga.

 

[Rolento]

Kazuya and Hei are pretty close, but Kaz is the right kind of asshole

I agree, and I also feel like people who aren't all that familiar with Tekken would be most likely to know Jin out of all the characters due to being front and center from Tekken 3 through 5. Ironically, though, I feel like Heihachi is the least likely to be known among the Mishima family when it comes to casuals, and yet he is the one that most fans seem to associate Tekken with.

Lars on the list but no Pimpachi
Can't be trusted

 

[The Artisan]

I hate what they did with Jin after Tekken 5, but he's always going to be the main protagonist of the series to me.

 

[Darkwing-Buck]

Kazuya cause he got drip

 

[Neiteio]

This series is amazing, lol. It's been fun learning about Tekken lore through Smash.

 

[emperor bohe]

I lean towards Heihachi because he holds his own without devil gene

He also didn't start World War 3 like Jin did

 

[BetterWorldz]

Jinpachi is real to me dammit.

 

[CeVee]

Jin, then Lee, then Kuma, then a Kazuya and Heihachi tie, then finally Lars.

 

[Numb]

Jinpachi is real to me dammit.

I could not in good conscious put him in because he would destroy everyone else.

Jin in S3 was one of the most fun characters I've ever played in a fighting game. For some unexplainable reason Diablo Jim got insanely buffed and Jin got nerfed (and robbed by one of his most iconic move animation) in S4 but I can't see me maining any other Mishima anytime soon, he has a moveset which forcest you to utelize most of it instead of relying on just a few. It's fun to have a character where you know he won't carry you. You either put in the work with Jim or lose over and over again. He represents what I enjoy most in Tekken.

Diablo Jim is one of the best typos that I've ever seen, unless I missed a joke

 

[Beth Cyra]

Jun, she may not count but by the goddess do I love Jun.

I know Lars isn't popular, and while he looks goofy…like a lot of characters look fucking dumb/ridiculous so I always find it weird when he is called out so much for it when I rarely see it for any other character.

 

[Arklite]

Tekken 3 Heihachi when he dawned the baller coat. Heihachi has had a lot of my favorite scenes throughout the series and I'm glad they did his end justice.

 

[ZeroX]

Jun and Asuka don't count, at all

Jinpachi is a g and the fact that he isn't in the poll invalidates it

Kuma 2 arguably counts, he's literally born and raised into the family


anyway the answer is Heihachi. He's the goat. He's a human who's faced a demon grandfather, devil son, devil grandson, devil wife as their equal. The best hammy villain. You can't top him.

If Lars is getting like 20 votes, Jinpachi wouldn't even get 10

There are many like you.

We all know that Resetera is the type of forum to gravitate toward Lee 'cause he's funny, charming and has nowhere near as many war crimes to his name as Kazuya, Jin and Heihachi do.

Not even lying.

Also mandatory Uncle Lee >>>>>> Uncle Lars

Lee is actually my Tekken main ever since they started cutting Lei, haha

He is still KINDA evil, but his evil is usually more cheeky shenanigans vs. outright world villainy.
