He is easily counter-able as a newb, but if you want to beat the arcade mode or Tekken Force without looking at the screen then Hwoarang is your go to pick. Come to think of it, Hwoarang is usually house ruled out due to his impressive kick juggling from spamming both kick buttons. He is also a fucking cheap ass cheat character, who is usually house ruled out. He was exclusive to this game and came out of the Anime. Gon is a gimmick character, he is a small knee height dinosaur. He was always my least favourite character in the series and was always a personality sponge to me. *I* think he is a bad guy, but apparently isn’t. Picking Tiger vs Eddy is allowed, but you are both due a genital punch.īryan Fury is a human/cybord robocop. Tiger Jackson is the 70s Disco pallette swap. he is the cheat character that if your mate picks you are automatically entitled to punch them as hard as you can in their genitals. FYI, I totally bagged on Tuff E Nuff for having a similar utterly terrible story but nobody plays fighters for the story or even pays attention… Or do they?Īfter this there are 13 or so more new characters:Įddy Gordo is the Oddjob of the Tekken universe. Ogre whomps Jun and Kazuya, and Jin shakes his fist shouting “CURSES!” towards the then joins up with Heihachi to learn fighting skills.Įveryone else turns up for money and or revenge and off we go punching and kicking for world peace. One of these unlucky (presumed) dead chaps and chapettes killed by Ogreare Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima who in the intervening 15 years have passed they have birthed Jin. Ogre patiently waits a further 3-4 years before going about killing martial arts experts which inevitably leads him to killing main characters family members keeping a nice and convenient plot device to round up the usual suspects of pre-existing Tekken characters. Things go to pot and Ogre kills the Tekken Force team and escapes into the night. Tekken Force are sent to investigate a temple deep in Mexico’s jungle where they awaken a massive fucking Ogre,an Aztec god and the final boss. StoryĮasily the worst part in any Tournament Fighter is the story I never know why they bother to shoehorn some of this in, but on the whole the main story avoids some of these issues that afflict the genre.ġ5 years pass from Tekken 2 and Mishima Zaibatsu still led by Heihachi, has set up the Tekken Force a paramilitary organisation to help “keep the peace”. I’m basically a god at pulling off the Paul power punch. It adds skill and depth to a genre that requires both to be successful, but Tekken 3 successfully lowers the bar to entry on these things. It allows you to dodge spam kicks such as a newb Hwoarang, but a douche like Eddy is too quick with good tracking so becomes harder to dodge away from. A well time dodge will allow you to unleash your own attacks and quickly turn the tide of battle. But also certain characters can stance switch during a game meaning you can jump around like a speed demon and you’re opponent won’t know what is coming next.įurther depth comes from the introduction of the Z axis, or moving in an out of vertical plane. Subtle nuances such as a right handed player versus a south paw (leftie) having disadvantages which can change a game. 4 buttons, 4 limbs, it means you can tactically jab to hold people off, stronger/weaker feet, and almost complete control over how you attack. Tekken 3 is obviously a Tournament Fighter, and if you have played any entry in the series then you will know the buttons are associated with a limb. Whereas I tend to 100% Tekken 3 once every year or so. The only other Fighting game that gets this much of my attention over the years would be Street Fighter 2, but even then, that is a few bouts with each characters a couple of times a year. More to this however, Tekken is one of those games I return to and revisit over and over. Tekkenwas a game that to us, had depth and that depth is what kept us interested. Mortal Kombat kept our interest for a while by virtue of a frequent release schedule and expanding gore. But more than that it was the only fighting game that me and my mates had where our interest in playing the game lasted more than a few weeks (or months) together. Tekken 3 was easily one of my favourite games of my youth and it was the first game I ever bought on release day.
