He only had the large chest scar from when he was a child (from where the devil ripped out his soul before the retcons). The red eye and other scars came from his fall into the volcano.
It wasn't technical limitations, characters like Bryan Fury had facial scars in Tekken 3 on PS1 and there are no hardware limitations on artwork.
"I mean where did he get the all his scars over his body?"
He got the vast majority of his scars from Heihachi tossing him into a volcano after Tekken 2, but since he didn't return canonically until T4, 20 years later in the lore, we don't see those scars until then. The only scar he had before that was the large one on his chest from when he was 5, when Heihachi threw him from the cliff.
He managed and survived the lava and sulfur thanks to his newfound devil form which he used all the time he was trapped inside the volcano. So it´s very odd that he got those scars on his body that has the same pattern as the one on his chest in contrast of actual burn marks.
If you look at his Tekken 4 prologue, you'll see he never actually touched the lava and landed on rock (at retcon of the T2 ending which clearly shows an eruption). He also wasn't in the volcano for very long as his T4 prologue also states he was revived by G Corp "a few days later".
Well, that´s some bs move from Namco. You can clearly see Heihachi trowing his body to be consumed by the lava on Tekken 2.
Throwing "people" into lava is exactly Kazuya´s finishing animation on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
What they did on Tekken 4´s prologue doesn´t even make sense. He was thrown into an active volcano because his father was aware that he would survive a fall from a cliff.
Now according to Tekken 4´s prologue he DIED from falling and landing on freak rocks which did not kill him at the age of 5?
I can´t even describe how ridiculous is such idea.
During T2, Kazuya supposedly had an inner battle between his good side, the character Angel, and his bad side, Devil. Apparently this conflict left him in a weakened state, allowing Heihachi to beat him and 'kill' him.
I've followed Tekken since 2 and Kazuya is my main, so I do have a passing interest in his story, but in general, most fighting game stories, especially Japanese ones, are utter trash and Tekken really gave up after T4 in that regard.
I'm past my prime in SoulCalibur and all the friends who i used to play with are gone. But this series still has its place in my heart and memories and it's always a special time when a new game is out, for better or worse all the same.
I just love the game play and character creation. My wife is all I need for the game as we play it so much. We stopped a bit after last season pass but really would love for another one.
We tried tekken again and it's just not as good for us, but we know tekken has to come out first in order for soul to come out at all.
Oh I was just googling Tekken 7 yesterday I hope it’s a new one 8 or PS5 upgrade of sorts. Maybe a Tag they often do a tag then a numbered one. Maybe tag 3. Who knows excited to see what it is.
Remake?
Good, get this launch out of the way so we can get soul calibur 7 hopefully within 5 years
I will literally shit my pants if they announce T8. I hope this old outro is not a troll for a remake.
Textbook Tease, get'em talking...
