Tekken 8 Community Gets Pissed Off At Paul Phoenix New Hair Style! Kai Cenat Gets Roasted At Awards!

Thomas Rozhon: I think his hair is weird, but I don't get the hate I think its a case of Japanese sensibilities not meshing with American sensibilities. Pauls deal in T8 seems to be him "letting loose" and relaxing, and it makes thematic sense to let his hair down His outfit is loose and messy, and his hair matches that. It might not be what people would typically call stylish, but Paul was never a stylish character to begin with Dudes just doin his own thing and I can appreciate that

Jim Screechie: Paul's hair in T8 was Not the same as T4. Nobody is complaining necessarily about the hair change but the hair style... I think they should give him something similar to T4 but with a low rise ponytail that would have been cool

clement castro: Paul ran out of hair gel and got the Karen cut

Gridscape: 3:05: It's not even a probably, they confirmed at the mechanics showcase (where they first showed Paul's gameplay) that you can change him back to his classic hairstyle.

Mario Mendiola Jr: Paul’s rage art should be him asking to speak to the manager.

88 Fingers Eddward: Don't really care for Paul's hair but Tekken mainly lets you customize and will probably give you the option to rock the classic style P.s back in T4 it wasn't as bad because he had a typical biker shaggy look. This time it's straight up Karen hair

WesreeGaming: Dude that Hairstyle is effing ridiculous I main Paul and when I saw it I was like damn I feel like he is going to report me to the police for breathing or something ‍♂️

Finicky: The tekken community is pissed off again, somehow that isn't surprising LOL

ToRa7a: Harada himself confirmed in the showcase that og Paul's hair will be available in the customization, and the case that his hair is down not to copy street fighters but he said we have started a tradition that Paul's hair will be let down every 4 games I just hoped that they did it like when it's was in tekken4 down the middle not swooped to the side Karen style but it is what it is.

NeonSamurai: I actually like Paul’s outfit since he is a biker, I just think the jacket should be black instead of gray and his shirt more red. As for the hair, anyone comparing this to T4 is crazy because that hair was normal and it fit his face. This Karen hair doesn’t fit his face or personality. His hair should be like Triple H which would look badass.

CONCRETE: Man Paul's hair style in T4 did not look like it does in T8. They aren't the same

322king: The problem with Paul’s hair is not that it’s not the OG pillar of power it’s that his new look is bad in general

The Real MC: T4 Paul and t8 Paul do not have the same hair style t4 Paul looked good also even though there is other costumes the bad design is still taking the place of a potentially good design

skyefox: The hair is an easy tradeoff for the facial expressions, for the first time in a decade it feels like Paul is kinda goofy but not a joke character.

PESCHARLIE: The difference with Paul's T4 hair and his T8 hair is that in T4, his hair gave a "no fucks given" vibe, as he just let it do its thing, but this new hair is clearly him styling it that way on purpose

JOHNNYBRAVO909: That ending had me dead

Ace: Paul's Tekken 4 hair looks way better than his Tekken 8 hair.

Penelope Whistledown: Tekken has always chased after others, using something to inspire them, it used to be VF and seems now SF. That's just how Tekken has been since around 3. Also no T4 Paul hair is not like T8 hair. PGC didn't really know what they were talking about there. Both have their fans but it isn't the same hairstyle.

Dybbuk: I don't know if it is more funny or sad that they would take a character loved by the community and make him look like the uncle no one invites to family gatherings because he was arrested for involvement in Jan. 6. I guess making Paul look like a huge dumb ass is the Tekken brand? lmao

madatyoutoob: With all due respect Ernesto... you didn't say princess's full name edit* oops I just saw the outro

TheDo-DoGuy: It's mainly that his hair is his default is what bothered people he did have the long hair in tekken 4 but that made him look badass this one is just weird different take on that.

The Puppet Master: I’m okay with characters get new design to keep them looks fresh. But man, Paul’s new design especially his karen hair looks like crap. I’m not sure why Bamco can’t do simple but memorable design like they did with Tekken 3 or 4?

BainesMkII: I commented on one of the trailers, Paul's new look makes me think of Jeff Portnoy, the comedian/actor Jack Black played in Tropic Thunder. It's something about the hair color, the style, the physical build, etc...

bitterman: If we get tekken 4 hair as a customization option all is forgiven

b00ty bu77ch33ks: I think the idea of his hair down is cool but they should have swept it to the side instead of in the front

wolfafe: Like sure, his hair isnt great and im not a fan of it, but i dont think its worth all the fuss especially considering you will be able to change it. Personally i like the idea they went for, just the execution is bit weak. Maybe if his hair was not infront of his face that much he wouldnt look so karen like. It's actually great when he does some of his abilities how his hair moves and his face is so well done and expressive. It's a massive step up. Tekken 8 just looking amazing by the day.

Eric Diaz: people hating on the way a Tekken character looks is like hating on your own fast food order. They're always customizable and you don't have to take it how it is.

Keith Anthony: Tbh I feel like they did this to sell us the classic outfit. Lol

wetfusion1986: about tekken biting street fighter. if you watch some old tekken documentary harada openly admitting at first he did take inspiration from sf. he looks up to ono high. thats why they are best friends. about people hating on paul hair. i think its good. it means tekken is making significant changes, and with changes you will have different opinions. some people will like it, some people will not. i personally like the new paul hairstyle, its more tidy, he smiles a lot in the trailer, maybe in t8 story his life have gotten better.

Cruel Deity: Paul looks like a mighty Karen, it's un-mistakable.

nate: They did paul dirty with the hair but his kit still looks good. If i were to play him i would just make a customization.

Mestre: You know that could be his tall fade but in a laid down style. All he needs is a comb and some hair gel and there you go traditional Paul Fade. Pretty sure his other customizations will have the OG hair.

donkeydarko77: Maybe you unlock Paul's classic hairstyle when you PAY FOR FRAME DATA.

Docta Afrikan: I'm loving the quality increase of your videos!

Troy Solano: THE STRONGEST KAREN IN THE UNIVERSE!

Darth Misogyny: The funny thing about T4 is that harada said people bitched about everything even the costumes.

Leo Aerts: I dont see whats wrong with Pauls hair... to have it gelled up that way takes a lot of time and he is getting older and I get it. He can't be wasting all that time gelling his hair

CrimsonInquisitioner: I dont know..... I'm starting to see the Karen Phoenix with the "I want to punch the manager" move

Zexy Swami: People worried about his Hair, I'm itting my pants about how much stronger is death fist looks lmfao

AdversaryOne: I dont think the issue is that they changed Paul's hair. I think the issue is how stupid it looks with his face. Also, customization options don't matter when the default hair style is what we will see officially for the next decade. But in the end, I don't really care. Guile still has his.

Rashod Mason: It's just resistance to change really. His hair is fine its just not the norm. There's only ONE design tekken could change that could ruin the franchise: making Yoshimitsu human.

Levi Ackyman: Harada BEEN confirmed this last year that Paul’s original hair look can be selected if you’re not feeling the new look. People just aren’t up to the know and complaining for the sake of complaing In the end no one is gonna use default costumes, Tekken games usually have customization, let’s not bring pitchforks without getting full context sheesh FGC King has a cape, you will be able to play without the cape…chill I didn't like Ken’s new costume in SF5, his original along with other ones were available EZ CLAP

basicsyphilis8: Don’t really care to much for the hair but I do like the original a lot more

Unchained Demigod: So nobody gonna bring up Akuma’s lionsmane? Ok

Roy: 8:30 FR!! If they did that to Guile!!!... Unforgivable

eduardimusprime: Paul’s never looked better.

Aary Scare: Paul started dating a Salon worker woman. She said, "Just trust me." He won't shave it because the cat is too good.

exclamation mark: what does Kai Cenat have to do with fighting games and/or the fgc?

videogameadventure: Eh… I just wished that they didn’t give Paul Phoenix the karen hair style. Still think the trailer is awesome and glad that they give him his mannerisms back, but just the hair is getting in the way. Not mad, but just questioned why they gave him that hairstyle. I’m just waiting for him to ask to speak to the manager. Lol! Looking forward to playing Tekken 8 regardless.

jblue88hoodgamer: Some people Mad about Paul's Hair some of them must of didn't play Tekken 4 and not only people must of forgotten in Tekken that you can change every character hair style in character creation

Tavian Floyd: Tekken has never not had character customization so these complaints are pointless lol

galactor24: I don't mind it, sorta reminds me of tekken 4 Paul. But I'm sure there's gonna be customization options and he's gonna have is normal slim him hair style back. Or even his alt costume might have the classic hair. Idk why people are so pissy about it. He's a fictional character lol

Tariq Shakoor: Why they couldn’t bring back the Kurt Cobain hairstyle from T4, we will never understand , it better be a customizable option

Mage Nichlas: The only change to Guile's hair that is acceptable is his flat top going gray/white in 2085's release of "Street Fighter 28: Retirement Home Heroes".

Lenin Ceballos: Paul went to the same hair stylist Ken visited for SF5.

Rovi Dela Rosa: Tekken 4 Paul's hair looks nothing like Tekken 8's... No one would complain if they just make it like Tekken 4.

Huge Jackedman: You can tell who the posers are vs who actually follows Harada.

ZO_LEO: You probably can customize the hair who knows, but it looks horrible and people are allowed to give their opinion on it. So Perfect legend needs to calm down.

Ashley Andrew: Wow I could never care that much about a character's looks in a fighting game. I care about gameplay and frame data. Especially when most fighting games have alt costumes and mods these days

rkrippler: Lol. I knew the name but couldn't remember his OG character model. DAMN

Ran Tayo: This kind of hair style is actually very trendy with man of his appearance. Don't really mind it, i know his original hairstyle is kind of his trend mark, but try to change it sometimes won't hurt anyone especially when there's customization, also if there's a game in the series that they should try and do all kinds changes, even appearance ones, is Tekken 8. Now being honest most of the people who are "REALLY" offended or weirded out by that are north americans. I'm not north american, so i can't tell. Do north americans have a hard time dealing with things that they consider different from their culture? Because it's been a while since this kind of behavior keeps repeating and repeating itself. It's normal for people to dislike things and be open about it, the problem is when people start to be toxic and really annoying or the worst that is being xenophobic.( Not talking specifically about the Paul hair drama).

The GratefulGamer: Paul's hair down in Tekken 4 was perfect. Because most people were still WWF(now WWE) fans. So he just looked like Triple H. Nobody was mad about that haircut. This new Karen style is emasculating for the character. And just looks bad at every angle. Ken's banana bangs looked better.

Niree: Paul got that soccer mom cut that be overdoing it on the sidelines.

Harrison Zahn: Hair down Paul is good. All these complainers don't even play him anyway most likely.

David Μυρμιδόνες: I think I speak for a lot of Paul Mains when I say that, "They've done this before.." is a COMPLETE Bullshit excuse. The First Time they "did" it/this.. it looked more authentic. More Character/Lore Based. It was Loose and Carefree.. it was Great. It was even BETTER in His Ending on The Same Game, because it was neatly tied and properly kempt. THIS.. I don't even know what the fuck this is. It doesn't look like his hair is free or loose at all. It appears to Gelled down specifically to that angle.. and from The Side too. I thought I could get used to it, but every time I look at it, I feel like that Guy reacting to The Mr. Bean Painting. That's what annoys me about The Whole Thing. This is HIS Main Face for The Game now. From this moment on, regardless of what "Alternative" haircuts you switch too.. this will be his Default Character Select Picture going into Tournaments etc. It's not right, man.

Tony TheTGR: Look, I get that you think Paul's hair is a fail, but as a Maximillian Dood fan, hear me out: ALL HE'S MISSING IS THE SQUARE-FRAME GLASSES

Mike Rotchitch: Paul had his hair down as default in Tekken 4. It's nothing new ‍♂️. He will no doubt have the 10 foot flat top as a custom/alt costume. Calm down folks.

Stop Being Ratchet: I know street fighter of all games aren't tryna give hair advice lmao. They got banana peel hair, ramen noodle hair, potato chip hair, like, c'mon bruh.

Devin Roi: Seeing all the hate comments feels like actual Karen's complaining

TheJetParadox: Ppl are going to forget about his hair in a few weeks time.....I guarantee.

RayYogaFire: The only homework Tekken should copy from Street Fighter are hard knockdowns and better physics. Yeah, I said it.

akil charles: I say it before that Paul's hair looks alright not great but is more believeable than what he was rocking before and from the trailer he looks happy about it,LIKE REALLY HAPPY! Also lately when it comes to the fighting games in general people don't like certain changes of their characters, Cammy is an example of that and some didn't like her new look or hairstyle. Also also considering both Nina & Paul have a new look for Tekken 8, much of us should expect more characters with new hairstyles and other outfit changes, like Leo with long hair or Lei with short hair or even Bob with no hair. And you can bet your ass the FGC will be whiney b****es complaining about that on YT/Twitter.‍♂

H V: Everyone need to chill the f out. They already said you can swap back his old hair. That’s why harada keeps saying don’t ask me for S!

Anonymous Nate: Poeple whining over Paul's hairstyle are the kind of players to play a game for a week mash buttons against bots and never actually jump online and really play the game. If a character's hair is the dealbreaker for you on a game you obviously don't enjoy the gameplay and mechanics very much.

My Linux Struggle: How many people even played with the default hair lmao I'm weak.

Just C: I don't like Paul's hair but for the most part, it was a giant "WHO CARE'S?" It's subjective af, It's no different than people IRL getting hairstyles you don't like cuz you find them weird and goofy. Do you cry and demand they change it? No, they don't phase me, so why should Paul's? Everyone don't need to be attractive to me personally. *FYI:* Paul usually rocks a high top hairstyle cuz he's a FAN of Jean Pierre Polnareff, from the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" series........... Yes, he's a WEEB. SFV hair like Alex & Ken's hair is different cuz it legit look like banana peels rather than actual hair.

cycodamo: Paul's hair is objectively terrible, he's an old man with a 20 year old Japanese boy band hairstyle - luckily you can change it in game

hella GRAMZ: the creators already said his hair with prolly be like this every 4 tekken games .

The1Kreator: The reason for the hair is because times we are living in now people will complain about cultural appropriation

StarDragonJP: Yeah you can change it with customization, but it's still his default & looks terrible.

AlexxxPerales: He has not done this before. You’d have to go to a stylist and have it layered and cut to get this look. Lol. Tekken 4 hair was better.

Aaron Johnson: Hair down Guile would be neat.

Fighting Game T.V.: You can probably customise it anyway

quic grid: They did it to Cammy... not her hairstyle in SF6, but her chest. It went from Dcup to Acup. Not cool.

Kyornik: Listen, the man is getting older, and his hair mousse is discontinued. Leave him be.

YHabiki: Paul is just out of product to get the hair to stick up

PharaohsKingdom: It's not that serious. Just enjoy the game.

DuckSwayBobWeave: Hair gel got hit with inflation.

Alvin Mercado: Cap cap cap cap , tekken 4 hair Paul was amazing

James Thomas: Silly to be upset by a fake person's fake haircut imo

nevermind: Whahh things change sometimes. Wait till they start noticing how the human body works in real life.

Mr Gooey: Tekken bit Virtua Fighter. As for character designs. People that afraid of change? Selective change acceptance.

ArtofAries111: Yea...his hair is busted. I liked his signature high top

ENERSHA: One too many Hair layers is combed over

Travis H.: Namco playing 4D chess. Making the default skin ugly and encourage players to buy customizations.

E Cube: I thought you said 'gobbleGum' then I looked closer LoL

Vinsensius: You all hating paul new hair, but you all forget tekken had customization, so you guys can just change the hair too the OG hair duh

ArtMaster09: Ppl know that there's a customzition options in tekken right?‍♂️

Underground VGT: that Karen's Hairstyle aint it

OneAboveAll Ferrari fan: Paul looks like a drunk
