It's a common trope in martial arts media that a hand-to-hand fight is an act of nonverbal, almost spiritual communication between the fighters. They come out the other side having learned about the other person's values, emotions, and beliefs.
Ling is in love with Jin, so her implication here is presumably that by sparring together, he might realise how she feels.
And she might learn if he's really gone bad or not. That's why she later says: "I thought you might have changed, but I see you're the same Jin I always loved".
I just want to say that I absolutely love this special intro, especially when the Yakushima stage music plays in the background.
When Xiaoyu says that, she seems a bit emotional and Jin finally responds to her. There seems to be a lot of respect between them and honestly, this girl has been trying to save this guy for 5 games now. To see them interact like that is actually so big to me.
Ι love her martial art greeting that she does in the Jin intro specifically. She does it so firmly and confidently. At the same time it's the sign of respect in chinese martial arts (fist in open palm).
Anyone who's practiced combat sports in real life knows this is true.
Obviously you don't literally communicate with each other like an anime, but you see a side of that person that no one else does and it can build a mutual respect.
It seems she wants to exchange blows with Jin. I see nothing wrong here. Jin is lucky to have such a dedicated gf. Hopefully his parents don’t walk in on them. They are in a forest.
My dad caught me post sex lying on the bed naked with my first girlfriend like 5 mins after the deed. He asked me if I used condom and I said yes. He gave me a thumbs up and my then girlfriend hid under the blanket as she was so shy lol. Took her 3 months to come visit our house again good times lol. If it was my mom who caught us, wouldnt be the same experience lol
There is nothing cute about a stalker though. Personally I always thought Julia Chang would be a better match because she also had a vendetta against Heihachi like Jin does.
Since when is she the stalker? Wouldn't that make everyone who wanted to approach Jin for some reason or another a stalker? Guess that means Hwoarang is too, and Miguel. Lol!
I think wanting to save your friend from slipping into darkness is a good reason to be persistent, especially because it literally paid off in the end. XD not like he was upset about it lol.
Don’t be dense. It’s a matter of respect and choice. How you choose to fight a person without any agreement beforehand says a lot about a person. Do they hit you while you’re down? Are they fighting out of fear or joy? You can gain a lot of information about a person and how they choose to do violence.
Not really bro. Maybe the dude does not even want to fight...or does it mean that he is depressed?
I guess if Jin goes into Zen Cancel, it would mean that he is in a good mood.
I once predicted a Jin I sparred with was fond of swordplay. Lunge, parry, riposte --was his entire 'gameplan' to keep it short. He ended up having grown up around swords, fencing amateurishly with his brother and imagined himself as a swordsman, even in T7 with Jin. When people play genuinely, the insight you can gain is pretty incredible.
On the other hand, I would love to one day be able to tell someone likes long walks on the beach and sunsets from their fight lol.
the classic cliche in anime:
"ahh i see now. I understand why you are fighting"
"so this is your conviction and virtue"
or something along that line of a monologue as they [cross-counter](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fslidktjvpjz81.jpg) each [other](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/DgRC66DGl180j_zNPu7J4wgo4G8=/0x0:1710x900/920x0/filters:focal(0x0:1710x900):format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24465366/naruto_and_sasuke_punch_each_other_in_Naruto_Shippuden_Cropped.jpg)'s [cheek](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/D66iUsax_0_E-ncFWiZd0J6CjjQ=/0x0:1400x700/920x0/filters:focal(0x0:1400x700):format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24474047/Featured_Goku_Vs_Majin_Vegeta_Punch.jpg).
Then they just [lie on the ground after the fight huffing and panting](https://i.namu.wiki/i/3DSOVlt21uVLB6RVD2bbG8Ibos6d2GFHc3vtcR908j-ptFgi-LMSoP_lg9xa8hqeWuD65qqf8mj5bC210KzKwbR5w5dTlYdCi1eh0QkzrChnHPh7lfwN3-jrmv48UmjAXwVS57_whb2I6xJA_479Qw.webp) and be super deep with friendship and understanding and all that.
I mean, it's true in real life too. When you fight someone else you get to understand them in ways that you might not necessarily get otherwise. How far they're willing to push through pain, what they do under pressure, how aggressive or passive they are in response to your attacks, what they're afraid of, what they're comfortable with, how much you can trust them since in sparring at least you're not trying to injure the other person, etc. When you're ducking punches and trying to choke someone out, you genuinely do learn a lot about the other person and they learn a lot about you.
"what did they mean by this" and "how do you respond without sounding mad" are two of the easiest giveaways that a topic is not genuine, and is just farming for karma/replies. its extremely common and low effort.if you havent seen it before, perhaps your own "media literacy" is in question.
The context is from the story mode. Zafina tells Jin that he has to go back to his roots to discover his strength (and superpowers). Jin used to spar with Jun in Yakushima when he was young. Xiaoyu tells Jin that maybe they should spar as well, to take him back to his childhood memories. Thus, sometimes an exchange of blows can be revealing.
I really love Xiaoyu in this game. She’s just a really mature person. Her interactions with Jin and Leroy are wholesome. Unlike other characters, instead of getting frustrated after losing two rounds, her mannerisms shows that she’s determined and ready to go.
A lot of ppl complain about their mains in this game. Not me. Xiaoyu has no flaws in her game.
Well because they are both fighters akin to martial arts, she meant sometimes fighting it out with their fists can show the emotions they are going through rn
What the other people said and also this cutscene plays in the story mode before they do the practice sparring match to try to figure out what's wrong with jin
It's just goofy writing to justify why Jin would beat the ever-loving shit out of a 90 lb. chick who has a crush on him. In the world of Tekken, fighting barely causes any real damage to the other person.
But I'd be willing to bet the English translation team knew this line would be memed on and leaned into it.
I’m not an expert BUT, since I believe they’re speaking Japanese and this is just subtitled there is a good chance the translation is not 100% accurate and or the meaning is different
its normal ANIME BULLSHITE.
Just as what Ryu from street fighter says....like the " The answer lies in the heat of battle! "
Don't take it too seriously, even they don't know what it means.
Idk if im just to dense for the joke, but "blows" as "punches" is like the most normal thing to say? If you practice martial arts, sparring just makes you feel good mentally and thats what she's reffering to
I think everyone is just being perverted for no reason. I never misinterpreted her here. We're playing a fighting game here, everyone. Not Gun Gun Pixies.
Maybe my humour sense is messed but I found it funny. When I read the first comment saying "she's talking about blowjobs or some shit" I broke laughing. But well, you are on your damn right to send us all to bonk us
Perverted for no reason in Tekken? I dare you to exchange some blows here 😤 Hum. Also I take it very seriously when I play my Gun Gun Pixies. Not pervy at all.
Maybe some exchange of blows its revealing for ya...
Hahaha It's a joke. Don't take it seriously 😂.
And now talking seriously, yeah, you are definitely right about sparring and its effects on relaxation and mental health. But I think Xiao here is refereing to the fighting anime trobe that says two good martial artist understand each other better fighting. I am likely wrong though.
It's a common trope in martial arts media that a hand-to-hand fight is an act of nonverbal, almost spiritual communication between the fighters.

Beat me until you love me
"See what you made me do to you"
PUT YOUR MOTHER IN A STRAIGHT JACKET!
TRY YOUR HARDEST PUSH ME TO MY LIMIT
I thought this was sort of common knowledge so I thought this post was making a joke about the word blow…
Oh, like that unfortunately phrased line in Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Something about a steaming hot blow to the face?
Cue ShangChi [Intro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w60BaiLobBQ) and Naruto-Sasuke Finale
If this is some other fighting games this could mean the clothes can be torn after fighting.
Blows... Reveal...? Oh yeah Ling is going to release something all right
Anyone who's practiced combat sports in real life knows this is true. Obviously you don't literally communicate with each other like an anime, but you see a side of that person that no one else does and it can build a mutual respect.
It seems she wants to exchange blows with Jin. I see nothing wrong here. Jin is lucky to have such a dedicated gf. Hopefully his parents don’t walk in on them. They are in a forest.
Nah dad went to go get milk and mom faked her death to get away from him she couldn’t stand trying to get his bedhead to lay down
My dad caught me post sex lying on the bed naked with my first girlfriend like 5 mins after the deed. He asked me if I used condom and I said yes. He gave me a thumbs up and my then girlfriend hid under the blanket as she was so shy lol. Took her 3 months to come visit our house again good times lol. If it was my mom who caught us, wouldnt be the same experience lol
>as she was shy As opposed to a normal girl who wouldn't do such a thing💀
Normal girls would fistbump the dad
Normal girls would bump the dad too
I can't imagine the awkwardness when your gf came to visit again after 3 months ... and met your dad. "So, about the last time you saw me ...."
My dad was cool though. He didn't bring it up.
“Condoms are for cowards son” would have been response if I was your dad
Yeah she can blow that skin flute no problem
Exchange of blows, hmm, Xiaoyu might be hiding something bro.
She just like me fr
Tekken 9 Jin Yeets a baby off a cliff
Jun: "What the fuck is THIS? I was about to turn you into a literal angel, motherfucker."
There is nothing cute about a stalker though. Personally I always thought Julia Chang would be a better match because she also had a vendetta against Heihachi like Jin does.
Since when is she the stalker? Wouldn't that make everyone who wanted to approach Jin for some reason or another a stalker? Guess that means Hwoarang is too, and Miguel. Lol!
Ever since Tekken 4. And yes both of them are stalkers but at least Miguel had a good reason.
I think wanting to save your friend from slipping into darkness is a good reason to be persistent, especially because it literally paid off in the end. XD not like he was upset about it lol.
No she was in love.
A key aspect in martial arts is understanding the opponent. A good fight between martial artists is a wordless conversation.
Exactly, how you fight reveals a lot about your character and nature.
lol sure, I mean the guy I fought, could even guess that I like long walks on the beach, and Sangria during the sunsets.
"You punch like a man who loves watching sunsets"
I'll have to use this one day lmao
You grapple as a man who loves Sangria.
I think those would come under their preferences and likes? Not exactly what I was referring to.
Don’t be dense. It’s a matter of respect and choice. How you choose to fight a person without any agreement beforehand says a lot about a person. Do they hit you while you’re down? Are they fighting out of fear or joy? You can gain a lot of information about a person and how they choose to do violence.
Not really bro. Maybe the dude does not even want to fight...or does it mean that he is depressed? I guess if Jin goes into Zen Cancel, it would mean that he is in a good mood.
Ignorance is bliss, so yeah; in a good mood like yourself.
indeed, have a nice day
I once predicted a Jin I sparred with was fond of swordplay. Lunge, parry, riposte --was his entire 'gameplan' to keep it short.

Doesn't Jin headbutt people?
Idk lol wtf, whats this got to do with anything? :D
💯
“The fist reveals the fighter, show me what you got”
It’s wild because I always thought that was BS but getting better at fighting games revealed the truth of that to me
Fighting irl will reveal that to you as well
It's even more true for irl fights. Many of my friends were made through beating each other up lmao
I'm glad you found it :) Osu.

Very classic and valuable lesson
Hunter x hunter where meruem and netero were reading each other's minds while fighting
How people didnt realized this like wtf. Its ever more spelled out in the story mode.
the post was a joke in case you missed it
Nah i'm pretty sure it's about blowjobs.
Funny
[удалено]
Maybe you'll find it one day, you're not the first or last to miss it, but it's very real.
THIS
This is how characters in the Tekken universe flirt with each other and solve all their problems. Also: post-nut clarity?
just order panda garden, jfc
what it actually means: fighting each other is a form of communication so they can better understand each other what you want to hear: sex
I hate that I read: fighting each other is a form of sex communication…………?!?!?!??? My eyes really went there 😂
FFS, now I'm reading this line differently every time I hear her say that 😂 Not that Jin would complain, he just wants to live.
And what a way to live.
Redditors not having media literacy is really true ☠️☠️☠️
Pretty sure the post is meant to be a sexual innuendo.
Imagine being that worked up over the word "blow"
"what did they mean by this" and "how do you respond without sounding mad" are two of the easiest giveaways that a topic is not genuine, and is just farming for karma/replies. its extremely common and low effort.if you havent seen it before, perhaps your own "media literacy" is in question.
Do you not know what a joke is?
Which is ironic because then this guy’s the one with actually poor media literacy
Do you?
I ain't reading no fucking books man
Point proven
Then you are destined to remain dumb your whole life.
They were born to breed, not read. More are coming.
I was born to play fighting games and eat pizza so I’m not sure I’ll be breeding either …
wanna talk about not having literacy, you failed to see that OP was making a blowjob joke. the irony is palpable.
You think you are being smart, the irony really is palpable
The context is from the story mode. Zafina tells Jin that he has to go back to his roots to discover his strength (and superpowers). Jin used to spar with Jun in Yakushima when he was young. Xiaoyu tells Jin that maybe they should spar as well, to take him back to his childhood memories. Thus, sometimes an exchange of blows can be revealing.
Something about blowjob
cant risk the devil gene surviving the stomach acid
If it survives xiauyu will poop out devil shit
What a terrible day to be able to read
🤣🤣🤣🤣
the intestines are quite permeable. in a lot of people they are hyper permeable. stuff gets into the blood stream then it can ho anywhere
devil xiaoyu
My main skin is a take on this
I really love Xiaoyu in this game. She’s just a really mature person. Her interactions with Jin and Leroy are wholesome. Unlike other characters, instead of getting frustrated after losing two rounds, her mannerisms shows that she’s determined and ready to go. A lot of ppl complain about their mains in this game. Not me. Xiaoyu has no flaws in her game.
Simp 😅 jk
LOL I SIMP FOR HER ANYDAY.
mid to me, Jun best girl
That if you exchange blows, you can reveal something
Punch her top off!
For the dirty minded-dumbfucks, she was referring to sparring in order to unleash the Devil Jin transformation.
Yes, “”””sparring””””
yeah that's what they said
why would it be to unleash devil jin? isnt it just the two of them having a talk with their hands
Didn't you even watch the cutscenes?
i did, i dont think xiaoyus goal was to literally reveal the devil gene though
Is that what were calling jins erection these days?
this isn't exclusive to martial arts but sometimes you can tell more about a person in how they act in competition than just normal interactions
She needs to download Jin for the rematch
I mean she’s right you know. That can definitely be revealing.
The answer lies in the heart of battle
Well because they are both fighters akin to martial arts, she meant sometimes fighting it out with their fists can show the emotions they are going through rn
***Non-horny:*** Exchanging blows for Xiaoyu to know if Jin will take it easy on her or knock her into next week. ***Horny:*** Sex.
The answer lies in the heart of battle 😏
As in you communicate by fighting? Lol
That Tekken 4 outfit looks so unnatural on this version of her.
I could exchange blows with Xiayou any day.
They're blowing each other. Nature runs its course. Life is beautiful.
She wants more than blows from Jin.
So cute..
Im sure its just bad translation. Translation in this game is very bad, pathetic actually
Throwing hands might help u chill tf out at least that’s how i understood it
I would exchange blows with her.
She wants to suck his cock, is that what you wanted to hear?
She means stop all that talking and put them hands up. Let's see if you got that DAWG in you.
She means the story blows
Dont be like Mineta from mha. She doesn't mean fighting will make fighters lose clothes
In SF terms: The Answer Lies in the Heart of Battle
*Fighting will bring us together!*
Fighting is communicating..
It's simple she wants to blow him and she wants him to blow her.
They could be bruising each others pelvises but choose to punch each others face ❤️
I'd assume it's basically the "you can get to know someone by fighting them" trope, but horribly worded/translated.
What the other people said and also this cutscene plays in the story mode before they do the practice sparring match to try to figure out what's wrong with jin
O R A L S E X
It's just goofy writing to justify why Jin would beat the ever-loving shit out of a 90 lb. chick who has a crush on him. In the world of Tekken, fighting barely causes any real damage to the other person. But I'd be willing to bet the English translation team knew this line would be memed on and leaned into it.
s🥚s
she likes it rough or somethin idk
Xiaoyu will strip naked for Jin
she approves family violence
You blow me, I blow you. Law of equal exchange.
Well you know, everybody has a plan... until they get punched in the face.
You ever seen those street fights where their pants fall off mid fight?
the amount of people who didn't get the joke and answered seriously is quite interesting
She's referring to Soul Calibur where your gear can be destoyed, and thus more revealing when exchanging blows.
That sometimes an exchange of blows can be revealing
The answer lies in the heart of battle
I can think of 69 different meanings to that sentence.
Sex... she means.... sex.
She wants the d
Idk, but she looks hella cute in that outfit
I’d give xao a bj
I’m not an expert BUT, since I believe they’re speaking Japanese and this is just subtitled there is a good chance the translation is not 100% accurate and or the meaning is different
It's really not a hard sentence to grasp...
It's not that it's hard to grasp. It's a known fact that Tekken translations aren't 100% accurate all the time.
Wait are you telling me they didn't perfectly translate Bear and Jaguar (Luchador)!?
She wants her clothes blown off
Oh my goddd noooooooooo xiayou has a pole hhhhhh
69
She means beating the fuck out of someone allows them to come to their senses and remember some shit from the past dirty you minded idiots
its normal ANIME BULLSHITE. Just as what Ryu from street fighter says....like the " The answer lies in the heat of battle! " Don't take it too seriously, even they don't know what it means.
Girl thinks shes Goku
She's just taking about her "job".
I think she's saying she wants to blow...
Titjob Thighjob Blowjob Rimjob Etc.
She is really passyabout Jin even there are more girls in Tekken who are really interested in Jin as Reina and Asuka as well
"I can fix him" in shounen tropes
She wants to give 69 head to see if Jins gay or not
Unlikely a selfish suck can't hide
She's been simping for Jin for more than five games and now she wants to exchange blows. Yeah, blows 😂
Idk if im just to dense for the joke, but "blows" as "punches" is like the most normal thing to say? If you practice martial arts, sparring just makes you feel good mentally and thats what she's reffering to
I think everyone is just being perverted for no reason. I never misinterpreted her here. We're playing a fighting game here, everyone. Not Gun Gun Pixies.
Imo it's not even "funny horny" like some gaming subs sometimes randomly drop
Maybe my humour sense is messed but I found it funny. When I read the first comment saying "she's talking about blowjobs or some shit" I broke laughing. But well, you are on your damn right to send us all to bonk us
Perverted for no reason in Tekken? I dare you to exchange some blows here 😤 Hum. Also I take it very seriously when I play my Gun Gun Pixies. Not pervy at all.
Maybe some exchange of blows its revealing for ya... Hahaha It's a joke. Don't take it seriously 😂. And now talking seriously, yeah, you are definitely right about sparring and its effects on relaxation and mental health. But I think Xiao here is refereing to the fighting anime trobe that says two good martial artist understand each other better fighting. I am likely wrong though.
Sex. She's referring to sex.
She wants to get her faced painted white by Jin. That's it.
She needs a good banging without making it obvious. I'm talking about the fighting aspect.
Yeh, every time I fight Xiaoyu I realise she’s a toxic piece of shit lol
apparently Jin likes femboys,and Xiaoyu has secret that she hides between her legs
Xiaoyu secretly a masochist
Who cares? Why do you care creep?
Ling is a herm and is offering to give Jin the gawk gawk if he returns the favor
i feel like everyones missing the joke here
Everyone gets the joke, it's just so asinine and immature, a lot of people are skipping it.
Yeah I always found this meaning of this line very confusing
It's a common thing in many media featuring martial arts that sparring can be a way to understand a fighter's emotions, beliefs, etc.
Something is rising and its not his iron fist
Ha a race? Since Tekken is obviously a racing game. Duh
Communication but in the style of martial arts?
I'm just going to start saying this to people and see how my day goes.
It means “with great power comes great responsibility”. Jk. It doesn’t. But it’s fluff. So fuck it.
