This is a world where Bruce Lee didn’t die a tragic, young death and is still carrying on to the point that his best days might be behind him. Tekken has several robot characters, and while Combot isn’t the best, it’s still a fun alternative to Mokujin. Something I always dug about Fury is how he started off as a rival of sorts with Lei Wulong due to their whole Hong Kong cop connection, but since Fury was able to shrug off blasts from tanks and then tear them apart, he just moved away from that and got involved in a sweet feud with Yoshimitsu in a story that made Yoshimitsu look noble, made Fury look like the biggest asshole, and led to various cinematic endings based on the two of them killing the fuck out of each other in awesome ways. Street Fighter, Dead or Alive, Mortal Kombat, and even ClayFighter have one to spare. Forest showed that just because you could do a new generation legacy fighter after a twenty-year time jump doesn’t mean you should. Bryan Fury is 4/5 Roy Batty and 1/5 Ryuji Yamazaki, giving us a ridiculous undead cyborg of a man who wants to smash your jaw off as he laughs maniacally. On the surface, he’s a proud martial artist who just wants to be the best and prove himself. Gon is a tiny orange dinosaur that first appeared in 'Gon' for the SNES, and became an unlockable fighter in the 1998 fighting game Tekken 3. Although Heihachi and Kuma are playable in all home versions of Tekken, they are both unplayable in the arcade version of the first Tekken and only appear as opponents. Kazuya and Devil Kazuya are the same. There are better late-stage fighters in Tekken lore, but Lili’s self-entertained presence is definitely a welcome one. With Tekken being about taking the main hero trope and turning it on its head, Lee is an extension of that who has unexpectedly become the coolest guy in the whole series. Before we start, let’s go over the guidelines for the list: – Original Tekken characters only. © 2020 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. He died of old age, and was replaced by his son, Kuma II. The series tried to keep him as being a top-level fighter with humor mixed in to keep him from being the King of Iron Fist champion, like some kind of narrative nepotism putting a glass ceiling over a fictional character. On paper, Dragunov should be a villain of the week. That’s not to say that Marduk is a saint. Character from the Tekken series. In fact, of all the “next generation” guys in Tekken 3, he felt the freshest. He kills off several characters and sends several more to the hospital, leading to a tournament created for the sake of drawing him out of hiding. Much like Balrog in Street Fighter, Steve shows the creativity of working in an engine that won’t allow him to kick while 100% pulling it off. Feng Wei could potentially respect you, but, by God, you certainly need to earn it. Luckily, Steve is beaming with charm and style. I’ll update the list to include the Tekken 7 cast sometime after its release. Eddy still has a big, flippy, twisty leg up over Christie because seeking revenge is way more intriguing than seeking the guy who is seeking revenge. Tekken 3 was enough and it springboarded the Mishima bloodline feud into a new direction upon his death. Alisa really came out chainsaws blazing upon introduction. Kuma added a wonderful novelty to the series as a powerhouse bear with limited training in the martial arts. She’s Xiaoyu best friend and…that’s about it.
