For fans of the fighting game Tekken 7, there is a new behind-the-scenes look at the development process in bringing the two new original characters Leroy Smith and Fahkumram.
Game Director Kouhei Ikeda and Producer Michael Murray discuss in-depth the steps in designing and animating these unique characters and their distinctive fighting style.
For each fighter, martial art experts were brought in for the motion-capture process. Leroy Smith studies Wing Chun, a traditional Chinese style that prioritizes self-defense with quick movements and a strong base. Fahkumram embodies the principles of Muay Thai, a combative martial art style with stand-up striking, clinching, and the fast-paced use of fists, elbows, knees, and shins.
The development process of these characters is revealed in the passionate dialogue between these two game leads.
