There are two distinct matters in which to differentiate Tekken’s cast – the serious contenders and the comic relief. It’s worth mentioning that this is the uncut intro from the Japanese version of Tekken 3, as the North American and European conversion were edited as a result of its ‘explicit content.’ Enjoy. However, Nina soon lets her jealously get the better of her as her sister laps up the attention of the local meatheads, and promptly embarrass her in front of her male admirers. Here we find the two relaxing by the pool following Anna’s victory at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, seemingly getting along with one another. Quite content to engage in hand to hand combat or fire rockets at one another as much as spend a day shopping at the local mall nattering about the opposite sex, the Williams’ have a tempestuous relationship to say the least. Tekken siblings Anna and Nina Williams haven’t quite yet observed the meaning of sisterly love. Indeed, as made abundantly clear in his ending, Armor King appears to have other things on his mind when approached by his former student, and greets him with a swift kick in the gut followed by a rather painful looking tombstone pile driver. Still, after going AWOL for a few years, you’d have thought that the Jaguar mask-wearing wrestler would be pleased to see his old buddy King, right? Apparently not. The masked Mexican and Kings former mentor made his triumphant return in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, despite having supposedly met his maker some years earlier at the hands of big brute Craig Marduk. Indeed, we doubt we’re not the only ones who enjoy nothing more than devouring every ending like a well-oiled ritual upon the release of a new Tekken game, taking us in to the early hours of the morning in the process.

in a fine display of joypad dexterity via a meticulously timed juggle combo, there’s another reason we all love a game of Namco’s veteran brawler – unlocking and viewing those utterly absurd ending FMV sequences.įrom the ubiquitous, moody Mishima’s to the perpetually bumbling Ganryu, Tekken’s ever elongating cast of colorful combatants form the backbone of one beat ‘em ups most convoluted narratives in videogame history, featuring everything from feuding families, love struck grizzly bears, a bloke with a penchant for walking around in a Jaguar mask and tail, a fighting chef, boxing Reptiles and a Devil-infused emo kid among others. While we revel at the opportunity to dish out a thorough beating to our cocky mates or pummel the less than competent A.I. When it comes to Tekken, let’s not kid ourselves.
