Why does Steve Fox look so dumb?

[Infevo]

He really looks absolutely stupid. His swaying is comical and his moves are generic and all look the same. How can a popular character like this have that kind of an uninspiring design and look so bad?

[[RNGR|x|GORO]]

Steve is cool xd

[Warmanreaper]

?? the bait? lol He probably has one of the best and most unique designs in the game. He's a Counter boxer. He looks and plays the way he should. "swaying is comical" LMFAO

[dprog1995]

He only looks funny in the end of his Tekken 6 ending.(Where developers tried to make him look sad which made him look kinda funny)

Watch a European boxing match.. And then critique.

As for the low blows well you cant have a boxer fight in the underground scene by true sport rules, or for that matter any rules outside of the Stand by EMT, & puncture type strikes like eye gouges, testicle pulls, or anything that would cause septic shock are usually the in-house underground fight scene.

Steve's design is fine, his movements are fine and balanced; his sway is for evasions, and his spin is for mind games after an opponent is properly confused/distracted in what to do next.

The player who is not fighting or understands what they are looking at basing it on Hollywood tropes of what fighting is supposed to look like.

Steve is a unorthodox boxer who used off circuit moves and was kicked out of sports boxing.
Kind of shocked he doesn't have a honest headbutt or blocking punches with his elbows since he is a dirty style boxer.

Law looks the dumbest but it's because he's designed to look dumb.

He's a comic relief character.

Yes, he definitely looks uniquely stupid. I have never seen a more stupidly animated character. His sway is the most unorganic animation they could've come up for a boxer. It is like a parody.

You misspelled Lei. (I don't think he looks dumb, but he is def the comic relief character)

Ah yes, man calling steve stupid, but has an anime pic and plays strive.. I don't think you know what you're talking about at this point in time. Steve's modeled after real life boxers, (Older generations) that were not so limited by the raw fundamentals in boxing, allowing them to strike in ways that normal boxers cant due to the loss of power.. maybe if you knew what you were talking about, you'd have some credit.. Playing games like DnD, SF and saying steve has a bad design.... that's laughable compared to like 40% of those rosters.

How is liking a sophisticated or diverse or even perverse art to effect their ideology of boxing and sports fighting.
How is a 2D fighting game going to blind their judgement of a stereotypical boxer..

I don't think it matters what they believe in or dance to.
Just like having Cthulhu doesn't make one wiser as both anime and GG strive is a open minded tool for exploration of ideas and the mind just from a different land is similarly expressive.
I'm more certain their age and new-ness to boxing reflects their confusion of why Steve looks like Steve.

Granted Hajime No Ippo would also explain why Steve looks and acts like he does as that anime is modeled after tributed Boxer greats.
And even the Footsies of GG Strive would explain Steve's specific pushback and mannerisms to control the opponents options to create advantages.

Any real boxer's movement comes mostly from the leg movement. Yes, watch Cassius Clay. He does not head bang his upper body as if he tried to break his neck twice a second.

Strive's characters are infinitely much better animated than anything in Tekken. In fact, Strive is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing game objectively out there. But that's completely beside the point. The fact you have to mention this, shows how offended and pathetic you as a person are.
Steve just looks stupid. If you can't acknowledge that, then you're biased. And no, he is not modelled after real boxers. He is a caricature of a beginner boxer on cocaine od who on top of that suffers from ADHD. Whoever says that he is modelled after a boxer, has no idea of boxing and probably never watched a single fight. Not only is he moving way to inefficiently but he is also moving way too predictable as he never changes his rhythm swaying left and right. A real boxer would burn through his stamina in a single round moving like that but that's fine because he would also lose every fight first round because his forehead moves in a perfect motion back and forth like an inanimate buoy.

I play Jin. Many of his moves are visually unpleasant to look at. But Steve hits the ball out of the park by his idle animation alone.
