Captain Falcon would be an awesome Tekken 8 character
Many Nintendo fans only know Captain Falcon as a Smash Bros character (despite his racing origins), and his melee-based fighting style seems well suited to a traditional fighting game. It stands to reason that his moves from Super Smash Bros., translate perfectly into Tekken 7! The Captain Falcon Tekken 7 mod by JSRRemix and Mr. Fletch completely rework Noctis and impressively “shows his moves” like the powerful Falcon Punch and explosive Falcon Dive.
The mod has been blowing up since content creator UMIN uploaded an impressive reel of Captain Falcon’s attacks and model on Twitter Saturday with almost one million views. In the past, they’ve debuted trailer-like videos for mods based on Overwatch 2‘s Kiriko, Final Fantasy VII‘s Cloud Strife, Soul Calibur‘s Ivy, and Hatsune Miku.
An impressive Captain Falcon Tekken 7 mod
Captain Falcon fits right into Tekken 7. In this Showcase video, he demonstrates the ability to juggle his opponents in the air with his precise kicks. He can also do a flip kick that looks impressive in Tekken 7. The Falcon Kick does seem busted as it’s so fast, but Noctis’ abilities with his sword are also astronomically quick.
Captain Falcon’s Up-B in Smash, the Falcon Dive, is used as a flashy conclusion to an air combo. Not many characters in Tekken 7 have this set up in the air, so it’s a neat change to the flow.
What does the mod do?
With the TKDataPatcher mod tool, you can add him to the game by using Noctis as the base character. You’ll have to go to the Character Customize menu to get Captain Falcon ready.
Then, you can alter the shading of the hero; you can go with a darker, shadowy look to the racer. There’s also a brighter toon shader option that fits his Smash Bros. look. Either way, you can’t go wrong. UMIN has provided a download link to the mod featured in their video description. There’s also a tutorial you can follow here to install TKDataPatcher.
Keep in mind that UMIN claims in the comments of the video that the mod is currently unfinished, but you can play the custom character right now.
