I dont really think about Tekken lore that often basically, what you need to know is that my favorite character, both to play and as a character, is Paul Phoenix. Fighting game lore to me is like, eh, I know it has to be there, but does anyone actually care about the plot to Mortal Kombat? Can someone out there tell me the backstory to, say, Sean from Street Fighter without looking it up? Someone out there probably does. So, Id never really thought about Tekken waifus in detail before. If youd asked me before I made this topic, I probably would have said Nina would be the best Tekken waifu, but really thinking about it, I now realize its Christie. This was an A+ nomination of like a mid-tier waifu in terms of how much people ever think about her. By the way, the game I was referring to is Street Fighter x Tekken, which was supposed to get a sequel, Tekken x Street Fighter, before the on-disc pay-to-win multiplayer DLC debacle blew up and Capcom just cancelled it.

Im actually completely shocked that Christie made #1 in attractiveness. This was not my plan at all, but really thinking about it, I think she actually is the hottest girl on this list sometimes. Some of her official illustrated art is hideous, and some of her CG faces are hilarious, but her official renders from Tekken 5-on are all beautiful, so she wins it. Im not certain I normally like ponytails, but Christie definitely pulls it off better than she does long hair. Anyway, Christie is the most blatantly sex appeal character in the entire franchise, but it actually works really well, so I wont complain.

Im actually not that into her I dont even know what piece of clothing on her chest is called. Boob ribbons? Like, does that actually have a name? The Wiki calls it a bikini top. Regardless, I could live without it, but its fine, it doesnt take away from her. Ive gotta say, though, I absolutely refuse to believe that her boobs arent flopping out of that when shes fighting. Like, not only is Christie a professional fighter, her specific form of fighting involves dancing and flipping around everywhere. There is zero chance those tiny strips of fabric are staying on her.

This isnt related to her waifuness, but I really enjoy how Christie was designed in Tekken 4 to show off how they could finally do long, flowing hair, then in Tekken 5 they gave her a ponytail because the long hair was too much of a hassle. It reminds me of that section in MGS1, where the Playstation version you can walk through a slowly-rising metal shutter once its high enough, but in the Gamecube version, they couldnt figure out how to program that in, so Snake just walks through it in a cutscene.

Shes also a huge pain in the ass to fight. Christie and Eddy exist for exactly one purpose, which is letting incompetent players button mash and have a chance at winning. I hope actual capoeira practitioners know how much I hate their video game incarnations.

Christies also just a really good person. Like, a friend to children, always helpful, never breaks down, doesnt actually like fighting type of person. I may have overranked her Personality a little, but its honestly fine, it doesnt change a lot. Christie is clearly the Tekken girl with the best personality and whos going to be the most capable of having a normal relationship, which is odd to say, but Im pretty sure its true.

If Christie does have a problem, though, its with her Girlfriendness. I dont really mind that she goes to silly fighting tournaments once a year, thats fine, its not a big deal. Heres the problem: I searched everywhere, and I could not find what the hell this girl does for a living. The best I could find was Occupation: Capoeira Student. Christie, you cant get a degree in dancing-fighting. And even if you could, youre not a student once youre the best dance-fighter on Earth. Thats like Albert Einstein calling himself a Physics Student when hes 60. I have no idea what you can even do with this skillset aside from opening a strip mall dojo. What does your girlfriend do for a living? Oh, she teaches eight-year-olds to kick your jaw while pretending to dance.

That aside, I still think Christie is a quality waifu. Shes not in adventurer territory, which is definitely to her benefit, but shes still worldly and fun. Honestly, I think shed be a 10/10 waifu if you could negotiate her into wearing a shirt.
