Big body type characters typically get the short end of the stick in fighting games. They are big targets, almost always slower then the main cast, and typically end up getting hit by higher damage combos because of their frame. Additionally, hitbox problems are common in fighting games–and 3D fighters are no exception to this.

But if you go searching for strange interactions in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, there’s one character that seems to show up on the losing end more often then others. For whatever reason, the new cybernetic golem Gigas can’t seem to catch a break, no matter what the situation is.

Here’s some examples of Gigas’s massive hurtbox liability…

It doesn’t just happen when he’s on defense, either. Those big limbs of his will find ways to pass through his opponents, even when the attacks themselves are true mids.

It would also seem that his tall height is a problem too. The beast can occasionally find himself too tall for his jab to hit properly, even in punish situations.

Given the humorous nature of many of the videos, it appears that Gigas’s problems are something of a meme at this point in the Japanese arcade scene. This is exactly the sort of thing that gets scrutinized and polished as games near their console release, so hopefully the new guy can get some love before June.
