Hiroyuki Endo of Japanese website ''Game Watch'' called her father-daughter dynamic with Bass one of the best aspects of the ''Dead or Alive'' series, and further described their relationship as one of their charms, "somehow warm and comforting" in how he supports her privately. He was particularly glad to see her return in ''Venus Vacation'', stating her "activeness is still alive and well in this game", and additionally praised how her background as a model worked with the ''Xtreme'' titles, fitting the game's "dress up" aspect through various outfits and swimwear while also bringing a sense of cuteness to her. Endo expressed that while there was a lot of emphasis on the character's breasts, he found the hips in her character design more appealing, and enjoyed the humor in how her gameplay in the series allowed her to use them as a literal weapon against opponents, and furthermore called the proportions of her character design "perfect from any angle".<ref name="endo">{{cite web |url=https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/kikaku/1382956.html |script-title=ja:「DOAXVV」についに登場！ アメリカンなパワフルヴィーナス、ティナのベストショットを大放出!! |date=2022-01-28 |accessdate=2024-06-17 |website=Game Watch |first=Hiroyuki |last=Endo |language=ja}}</ref>

In a discussion with Takashi Kurokochi, orthopedic surgeon and director of the Yurakucho Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, Japanese magazine ''Game Criticism'' asked him to comment on female characters in fighting games and what made their designs particularly beautiful in the eyes of Japanese audiences, among them Tina and Helena. Kurokochi noted the emphasized lower jaw and cheekbones of their character designs, feeling it gave their faces a distinctive contour. He drew comparison to actress Audrey Hepburn as a prominent example of Western beauty, stating she had similar features but was not considered beautiful by Asian standards due to her small face. In contrast, Tina and Helena had more balanced facial features, something he felt helped set them apart.<ref>{{cite magazine |magazine=Game Criticism |script-title=ja:ゲーム業界だけじゃものたりない そうだ、整形外科医に聞いてみよう |language=ja |pages=14-15 |volume=43 |date=March 2002}}</ref>
