Mod shows what Fahkumram would look like if he were actually as big as his Tekken 7 trailer showed
When Fahkumram was first revealed in his Tekken 7 trailer, he was portrayed as a genetic freak of nature. A military helicopter hovers in and drops a kind of iron prison containing some kind of monstrous human form. The metal clamps dramatically release, one by one, and then-new DLC comer Fahkumram showed his face for the first time.
He was juxtaposed with Craig Marduk, a seven foot giant in his own right, but as Fahkumram made his way up to his foe it was clear that he had an easy foot or two height advantage over him. Fans speculated how such a big body might function in Tekken 7, but When Fahkumram actually made it into gameplay his model wasn't nearly as big. IAMOP recently posted a mod video showing what Fahkumram would look like if his in game model were the same as the one in his trailer.
