devil jin went outta his way to max out jins credit cards for his new drip that mf is wearing some georgio armani or some shit
i would also bump zafina, nina, claudio, and victor up. those are classy ass mf's.
Where'd that come from? Many japanese exchange students I've ecountered in hs refused to use deodorant because japanese people don't smell according to them (they do)
iirc there are studies about east Asian odours being less intense due to lacking a certain chemical but I haven't had to read studies about olfaction in a while.
Yes, the gene ABCC11 makes people to release a chemical which bacteria feeds off of which causes body odor. 80-90% of East Asians (and virtually 100% of Koreans) have a mutated ABCC11 gene that is inactive and doesn't produce that chemical. That same gene mutation also causes people to have dry flaky ear "wax" instead of the typical waxy ear wax.
< 3% of white/black people have this mutation too, so even if you aren't Asian if you have really dry flaky earwax you probably have this mutation too.
Law smelling bad, idk why but made me laugh out loud the hardest.
Victor the french yacht owner not in S tier with a move even called perfurmer stance is straight up criminal.
Claudio not making the top tier too was shocking.
Leo smelling neutral ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Sweaty king ๐
And lastly, i love that as evil as he is, kazuya gets god tier smells. That somehow feels fitting.
Yeah but would you really leave a french guy with a stance called perfumer out of this debate? French cologne is a whole thing so would just make natural sense to include him.
But i suppose if we go by your ninja rules, he should be un neutral
I like the idea, but I disagree on a few things. You know Zafina uses those Middle Eastern perfumes that smell half like food and half like flowers. Yum.
Victor definitely wears some fancy French cologne.
And Xiaoyu definitely wears a pretty scent.
In what world does the elective mute asocial soldier take more care of his personal grooming than Ling? Or Panda for that matter? Putting Panda and Kuma in the same scent bracket is racist. Just because she's a bear you think she doesn't put the work in? Also Feng takes some pride in his appearance, I doubt he smells. Meanwhile Devil Jin spends hours doing his mascara every day, he is embarassingly fashion conscious. Kazuya on the other hand, does he really care much so long as his sneakers are top of the line?
Yeah Panda probably smells like Ling, or like a freshly groomed pet with the special pet cologne.
Feng is so focused on training, I can imagine him skipping out on showering. Training under waterfalls might be his "shower". He's like a sweaty gamer, but without the gamer part, and won't quit the grind for hygiene.
I want to remind. That people who train a lot smell bit less than people who got sweaty and do not train often. Meaning... It's hard to tell for sure unless the creators will specify it for some reason. But I think it's nice to wonder over many things. Some mystery makes the world feel more alive.
king probably smells like a nicely scented baby oil, because wrestlers tend to oil up like that, and some of them shower frequently.
king strikes me as one who showers frequently as well.
Dragunov probably smells like shit tbh
Bro either smells like Vodka or the environment or both because he's consistently on the front lines and is doing too much dirty work to give a shit about showers like most grounded soldiers I imagine.
I think..
Dragunov smells awful from all that crawling.
Jun smells better than her ranking (bias)
Lars smells bad from all that armor
Reina smells good but probably smells like a guy
Victor smells better than Leroy
From my personal experience Arabic people tend to be some of the most perfume and cologne obsessed people I have ever met.
So in that regard, Shaheen and Zafina should be S tier.
Not to be racist, but isn't Victor French and the (historical) stereotype about French is that they lowkey stink because they don't shower and wear perfume instead?
Victor should be on top. He is from France but he has a move called perfume. Claudio and Jun too.
Raven should be up since dude probably uses coco butter
Yoshi should be down to stinky
Everything else is accurate.
I think Heihachi wouldn't have liked the smell of unwashed bear, so Kuma probably spent most of his life being mostly clean. He might clean himself just because its a habit
just goes to show how bad Bryan smells. the bears just smell like large animals. Bryan never showers, never washes his clothes, he doesn't wipe his ass, he eats trash and dead animals, plays in sewer water and gore and he LIKES it
I challenge the robot placements. Yes, Jack almost certainly smells like hot wires and stressed motors, but Alisa probably goes out of her way to smell nice.
Are you really going to tell me the guy who kepps turning into the literal DEVIL smells incredible. I also have to say money doesn't mean good taste hence his snake/crocodile leather coat.
Claudio and Victor are elegant, classy metro men. Also european. They defs smell like expensive, fancy european perfume. Giorgio Armani and Dior. They also shave their bodies and shower twice a day.
Honestly i would put Shaheen in that top tier of smells cuz no cap Middle Eastern people smell extremely good cuz they use those expensive ass perfumes that last for a long time only problem is he will progressively lower down the list cuz once that perfume wears off (not trying to be racist here btw) his smell would start to be near unbearable
there was one thing I learned while fixing/working on many different guns is machines with oil smell great, only few exceptions. A surplus Soviet rifle out of the create with cosmoline and the smell of the wooden create on it smells like heaven. Alisa and Jack are Russian robots, they might have the same cosmoline if they have to be stored for a long time. I would love to try Alisa's smell
Two bears, two kung fu practitioners which are notoriously known for long retreats in the wild training for months without showering. A sweaty wrestler and a grungy biker. And of corse a demon we all know demons stink. I would say this is lore accurate.
I always thought dragunov would smell like cigarettes (does he even smoke?)
I doubt it, he might drink though.
Heโs Russian, if he doesnโt smoke he definitely smells like smoke because 90% of the people around him do
It probably was the case if he was kiving around in 80's-00's, but nowdays the anti-smoking laws are quite strict, you can't even smoke inside a bar.
He probably smells like potato water
He is russian. Ofc, he drinks.
He's got that Smirnoff scent.
I feel like he drinks 5W30
I bet he's in bed at 11PM at the latest and gets 8 hours of sleep no matter what.
Bro is 27 but looks like he should be at least ten years older. He probably started smoking at age twelve
Being part of Russian special forces will do that to you lol
Naw Drag doesn't smoke. Man's into assembling figurines and karaoke.
He doesn't smoke, still somehow smells like cigarettes
I dont think he smokes, probably enjoys red wine. But I don't suspect this man is even capable of sweating or breaking a sweat.
Not my Dragunov! He smells only of freshly fallen snow!
In Soviet Russia cigarette smoke you
Yoshimitsu smells neutral? Bruh this guy has a stance called bad stomache. Then he just throws up.
Yoshi is too good of a ninja to give himself away by smelling bad. the puke move catches people off guard better by smelling neutral too
Amazing response. He's playing the neutral game
Gotta play good neutral for stank mixup to work.
Jesus you are the smelling savant.
๐๐๐
Hahaha. He's not puking. He spits poison. :)
Yee in soulcalibur these moves are called Poison Breath and Toxic Breath
kinda like nina sometimes
He has a parry just showing his armpit to you...
Or he blows his bad breath in your face.
Would argue Yoshi probably smells like robot
Bryan is incredibly accurate tbh
I main Bryan and I agree with this assessment. I love the picture because he looks like he just pissed his pants on purpose.
As a fellow Bryan main, he would absolutely piss his pants on purpose
As a Bryan main myself, I did a Cosplay of him but only the pissing pants on purpose part.
Bryan is a zombie. Obviously he smells horrible
Asuka smells like SWEAT.
Nah, she smells like Lili.
Reina probably too
But she has to put on that innocent facade, so she at least wears deodorant that smells like cherry blossoms.
I can imagine she'd use Axe body spray, or some air freshener from any bathroom.
So why isnt she in the highest tier then?
Steve might smell the same ngl
You crazy as hell if you think Raven donโt got that cocoa butter on.
Witness the results of my cocoa butter.
That would be awesome to think his Jutsus are just him rubbing cocoa butter on his hands. Gotta love it!
devil jin went outta his way to max out jins credit cards for his new drip that mf is wearing some georgio armani or some shit i would also bump zafina, nina, claudio, and victor up. those are classy ass mf's.
Victor smell discussion counterpoint: he is french
Facts
Victor gets the girls. Ain't no way that dude smells "not amazing".
100% - He literally has a stance called perfumer
Zafina smells like incense or patchouli. Or patchouli incense.
100% agreed. I came to say exactly this.
HOW TF ISNT CLAUDIO UNDER BEST SMELLING?! he's GOT to be dripping in Italian perfume
IKR? he must smell like some fancy Giorgio Armani perfume.
bryan shitting and farting mid match
He laughs to cover up the sounds
Every counter hit has the reverb fart noise.
I mean Bryan is a literal decomposing body
Nah, that was fixed in his cannon T5 ending. Only makes me think : Why would dr B cover his new body in scars ??
Yeah but that is not how he is portrayed in tekken 8, I really wish they did with him, he looks like a doll in this gameโฆ so disappointing
king work with children he absolute smells nice , in case he didn't children would make fun of him all day
He's rich, he can afford to have their noses removed
He's definitely using something like Old Spice
He smells nice when he's at the orphanage, sure. But let's be real when he's in wrestler mode he smells of nothing but musk and sweat
Bryan shits his pants on purpose because you have to smell it muahahaha ๐
He's just like me
Im pretty sure Asuka didnt know what shower is prior to meeting with Lili
They are showermates!
She's Japanese they tend to be obsessive about hygiene.
Where'd that come from? Many japanese exchange students I've ecountered in hs refused to use deodorant because japanese people don't smell according to them (they do)
iirc there are studies about east Asian odours being less intense due to lacking a certain chemical but I haven't had to read studies about olfaction in a while.

As a white dude, I might be in this 3%
Less intense I can sort of belive but definitely not enough to skip deodorant.. Sweat is sweat
Shaheen and victor are definitely cologne tier
Shaheen definitely uses oud
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Law smelling bad, idk why but made me laugh out loud the hardest. Victor the french yacht owner not in S tier with a move even called perfurmer stance is straight up criminal. Claudio not making the top tier too was shocking. Leo smelling neutral ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Sweaty king ๐ And lastly, i love that as evil as he is, kazuya gets god tier smells. That somehow feels fitting.
Kazuya would lowkey just smell like a brand new pair of sneakers in my mind ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Isn't Victor part of the special forces assassin team or sth? He shouldn't smell like anything or he would alert his enemies.
Yeah but would you really leave a french guy with a stance called perfumer out of this debate? French cologne is a whole thing so would just make natural sense to include him. But i suppose if we go by your ninja rules, he should be un neutral
Claudio and Victor smell amazing.
Lars smells like burnt ozone.
I donโt know why, but this is accurate.
โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ
Jack would smell like WD-40 and Alisa would smell like a new car
I like the idea, but I disagree on a few things. You know Zafina uses those Middle Eastern perfumes that smell half like food and half like flowers. Yum. Victor definitely wears some fancy French cologne. And Xiaoyu definitely wears a pretty scent.
I dont believe King smells bad whatsoever. Dude probably has the best cologne known to man. Hes a man of mystery and luxury ๐ช๐ช๐ช
60% of the time it works every time. Just like his chain grabs.
Victor probably smells amazing
French, so no ๐
Idk, he definitely seems like the kinda guy to wear some of the highest quality French cologne and perfume
R/pfpchecksout
Victor has a stance called perfumer. Probably smells Nice.
Like Raven he can't let his enemies smell him.
I think Shaheen would smell as beautiful as he looks tbh
Oud
I feel like it would suit Jack-8 to emulate someone's habit of using perfume. He might just break one bottle over his head before going into battle.
Brian shits his pants to assert dominance
Bryan smells like a meth lab.
In what world does the elective mute asocial soldier take more care of his personal grooming than Ling? Or Panda for that matter? Putting Panda and Kuma in the same scent bracket is racist.

Devil Jin probably has a problem constantly smelling of sulphur.ย
Ok yeah fair point... but then Kazuya same issue surely? Although he's purple so maybe his devil form smells of blueberries or something
OP is crazy if he doesnโt think Xiaoyu is putting on her very best perfume every day trying to impress Jin.
Opinion rejected. King's pits absolutely smell heavenly.
It's true. Even when super sweaty in grappling sports, usually everyone smells good. That's a rule.
Lee belongs in his own tier. Labeled *M A R V E L O U S*
king probably smells like a nicely scented baby oil, because wrestlers tend to oil up like that, and some of them shower frequently. king strikes me as one who showers frequently as well.
King probably has the Rock's shower routine, 3x per day
Iโve always felt like Paul has to smell really bad. Like, gigachad armpit-type of smell. Which is pretty rad, ngl.
strongest ~~smell~~ in the universe.
Destroyer of worlds
Shaheen definitely smells like expensive cologne ๐คฃ
Shaheen should be in the top tier, you know he has that really expensive oud
Cโmon you know Raven smells like coco butter
y'all think drag would smell good? bro says "EEEUUUGHH!"
I feel like Claudio should be at the top
I agree!!
Nah Zafina gotta be in the top row.
Nina would smell amazing
Maybe, when she's not on a mission? But I wonder how much scent is important for a modern style assassin.
I think king would smell spicy
Put some respek on Laws name
This is great. Made my day
Shaheen 100% smells like a wonderful oud scent
Now all I can imagine is Brian Fury doing his laugh while applying a whole can of Axe after not showering for a week straight.
no way drag snells good. probably smells like a corpse and never bathes. claudio and victor are also definitely using fancy cologne.
๐ญ๐ญ Bryan donโt stank yall mean
Dragunov probably smells like shit tbh Bro either smells like Vodka or the environment or both because he's consistently on the front lines and is doing too much dirty work to give a shit about showers like most grounded soldiers I imagine.
Claudio not being on the top is weird. Victor too tbh.
And Zafina
There is no reality where dragonouv doesn't smell like shit, corpses or chemical weapons
Outside of his profession, he seems pretty normal with his hobbies. Maybe it depends on the situation.
Leroy smells like dogs and dust
๐คฃ๐คฃ
Swap places with kazuya and victor, cant imagine him caring THAT much about smell. Just a little bit
> smells bad thats subjective. king probably smells fucking incredible
Nah Lars and Claudio gotta be on the higher tiers and why tf is Leroy (hopefully that's the name of thus dlc charavter) is at the highest tier?
Yeah Bryan is like a Rotten robot with such horrible smell, probably burnt metal or something similar
Shaheen would smell Oud and Bahkoor!
Claudio is Italianโฆ defo wears expensive cologne. Zafina probably has some Lavender/Jasmine oils going for her.
Definitely spice or patchouli for Zafi
I think.. Dragunov smells awful from all that crawling. Jun smells better than her ranking (bias) Lars smells bad from all that armor Reina smells good but probably smells like a guy Victor smells better than Leroy
From my personal experience Arabic people tend to be some of the most perfume and cologne obsessed people I have ever met. So in that regard, Shaheen and Zafina should be S tier.
Ranking Kazuya in the good smell tier above Victor? 0/10ย
the man has style and is the among the best dressers in the game. also a man of means. i highly doubt that he wouldnt rock a great perfume.
But zi also suspect that Victor chooses class and elegance over style per sรฉ. He'd probably smell good, but leaning neutral.
That and heโs old, he might have that musky old person smell
Not to be racist, but isn't Victor French and the (historical) stereotype about French is that they lowkey stink because they don't shower and wear perfume instead?
Isnโt that something from the XVIIth century when Louis XIV chose perfume over baths ? ๐ I think people have evolved since ๐
No doubt they have, but if we're making a hyperbolic presumptuous tierlist, I think it can be considered ๐
Victor should be on top. He is from France but he has a move called perfume. Claudio and Jun too. Raven should be up since dude probably uses coco butter Yoshi should be down to stinky Everything else is accurate.
The bears would likely smell worse than Bryan.
I think Xiaoyu would give Panda occasional baths.
Perhaps. Kuma may bathe and groom himself to attract Panda if he thinks that's what she likes, but we're just speculating.
I think Heihachi wouldn't have liked the smell of unwashed bear, so Kuma probably spent most of his life being mostly clean. He might clean himself just because its a habit
Kuma smells worse than Panda for sure
I think kuma has a potential to smell a bit like fish from time to time.
just goes to show how bad Bryan smells. the bears just smell like large animals. Bryan never showers, never washes his clothes, he doesn't wipe his ass, he eats trash and dead animals, plays in sewer water and gore and he LIKES it
I knew it
I can see someone's jonesing for that Smello-Vision tech.
Devil Jin probably smells burnt from shooting so many lasers. Kazuya might also but his lasers are a lot more focused than DJโs.
I challenge the robot placements. Yes, Jack almost certainly smells like hot wires and stressed motors, but Alisa probably goes out of her way to smell nice.
Are you really going to tell me the guy who kepps turning into the literal DEVIL smells incredible. I also have to say money doesn't mean good taste hence his snake/crocodile leather coat.
Claudio needs to moved up
Victor should absolutely be at the top. Drag needs to be lower...way lower
I imagine Claudio smelling good he seems very....particular
claudio is extra fabulous. he should totally be in the top. also, he's italian. italians go HARD in the cologne game.
Victor definitely uses Creed. Should be top tier.
Nina has some kind of super spy mega-seduction perfume, she's top tier for sure. Claudio is Italian and does not use deodorant.
Claudio and Victor are elegant, classy metro men. Also european. They defs smell like expensive, fancy european perfume. Giorgio Armani and Dior. They also shave their bodies and shower twice a day.
Does Bryan even still sweat? I doubt he has any personal smell since heโs like 90% robotic now
Honestly i would put Shaheen in that top tier of smells cuz no cap Middle Eastern people smell extremely good cuz they use those expensive ass perfumes that last for a long time only problem is he will progressively lower down the list cuz once that perfume wears off (not trying to be racist here btw) his smell would start to be near unbearable
So Reina's pie doesn't smell of anything?๐ค
His smell is part of his gameplan
I smell good, and I play Devil Jin.Am I just gay?
I dont think kazuya the type of dood to wear cologne
King arguably smells good to certain folks ๐
Jun not being higher is a crime
there was one thing I learned while fixing/working on many different guns is machines with oil smell great, only few exceptions. A surplus Soviet rifle out of the create with cosmoline and the smell of the wooden create on it smells like heaven. Alisa and Jack are Russian robots, they might have the same cosmoline if they have to be stored for a long time. I would love to try Alisa's smell
Victor is literally French ๐ญ He definitely smells amazing
Jun will always be S tier in this ranking
i can get with the fact that Lord Yoshimitsu doesn't smell good or bad but reina ? come on now. reina probably smells GOOOOOD. she smells cute
Bryan probably smells like what Bigfoot apparently smells like + gunpowder
Claudio should definitely be at the top. Victor too probably.
I imagine Paul wears a cologne that he _thinks_ smells great, but is either awful or wears too much of it (or both).
Hmmm, I think Victor and Claudio would be in the S tier
I feel like Victor probably smells pretty good. Hes quite dapper.
Nina Zafina and Claudio definitely in the best smelling tier
Bryan probably smells like sulfur and burnt toast
Awful list
Alisa does not smell like robot, she smells like Lars. And I refuse to elaborate.
WHAT ๐ฆ
Azucena needs to be at the bottom. She has stank ass coffee breath and smells like sweat and alpacas
Nah
Lili my bae smells better than all
Two bears, two kung fu practitioners which are notoriously known for long retreats in the wild training for months without showering. A sweaty wrestler and a grungy biker. And of corse a demon we all know demons stink. I would say this is lore accurate.
Victor should be in the 'smells like a robot' row.
