Character movement through Traits (Tekken 7)

characters
  stance
    the stance depicts their fighting style, and this shows us that a character is either a "Hero" or "Villain" or has any of the characters roles from Propps character theory.

  I'm going to be talking about some examples from a game that has a variety of characters, all represented and depicted as different character roles and traits.

      Lucky Chloe
        Shows the traits of an all-out Japanese girl that is westernised and there is clearly an anime influence on her appearance. There's also the cultural aspect of an idol from the way she acts. Her visual representation feels heroic and positive using a freestyle dance fighting style.

      Shaheen
        Clearly depicts an Arabian vibe, his stance shows strength like a soldier which reflects his fighting style from a military background, the light colours help identify that he looks like a "Hero".

      Sergei Dragunov
TK7
        Just from his stance, we can already clearly identify that he's Russian using a Commando Sambo fighting style, his appearance also reflects his body language and attitude which also identifies that he looks like "Villain" trying to make orders to others.

  Why is this important?
    This is important for myself to understand what it is, from these specif stances and body language these characters depict. This will help make the character I present in my animation so that it is easily recognisable to the viewer what each character depicts
