so, for 15 years, we tekken players have had to see that same silly subplot over and over. like, the characters in tekken since tekken 5 and after don't have new motives and have been doing the same thing, probably because of the little bit of time that transpires between 5 and 7įor example, asuka and lili have had that dumb rivalry ever since tekken 5, which came out 15 years ago. Tekken 5 and on, kind of flanderized most of the main characters, making most of them caricatures with little evolution and no backstory. Yoshimitsu 'Yoshimitsu' is a name used by the current leader of the Manji ninja clan, wielding a sword of the same name, head-to-toe custom armour, and a prosthetic right arm. Totally, also i make it a matter to point out that tekken 4 was the last game in the series to have a multiple year timeskip (2 years after tekken 3), tekken 5-7 happens within a year IIRCĪlso, tekken 4 was the tekken game that took a splash directly into the unique characterization of the entire cast, and it made it seem like it was a fighting game filled with real people and not super buff anime joke characters He is an English boxer and was introduced to the series in 2002's Tekken 4. What happened to the writer after Tekken 4 anyways? I even loved the stages with breakable objects too and uneven flooring! Ugh. Loved this game so much.Įven with the smaller roster I still loved it. So yeah, best music after 3 (which was legendary), best characterization, best story direction with a lot of stuff still making sense before things got messy again in 6 and so on. Honestly? since Tekken 4 and some songs in 5, I haven't really enjoyed the soundtracks as much. The game has two new additions to its original cast: The first is Christie Montero, a student of Eddy Gordo's Capoeira style who plays a lot like her teacher.
Tekken 4 roster update#
Just love the way the narrator tells the story and the music sounds so dramatic. But the huge graphical jump, quality-over-quantity roster and smart gameplay revisions make Tekken 4 a strong update to an aging series.
Tekken 4 roster full#
It made even the more silly stories sound so serious and cool: U ltra Street Fighter IV is the last iteration that SF4 got, and the ultimate edition that will provide you with the full roster of 44 characters It’s a must-have for Street Fighter fans, and the gameplay is quite more challenging and advanced than SFV‘s accessibility. I really like the story prologue song too called "fetus". Instead of the goofball from that point on yikes. It was also the last time we got the "real Paul phoenix". With the exception of the bears' endings. They completely remade him in the best way imo.Īlthough I main Alisa and think she is alright as a character, there are no kawaii robots in Tekken 4 either. The story and atmosphere (plus arguably the 2nd best soundtrack behind Tekken 3) made it a winner. Tekken 7 legacy characters include Alisa, Asuka, Bob, Bryan, Devil Jin, Dragunov, Eddy, Feng, Heihachi, Hwoarang, Jin, Kazuya, King, Kuma, Lars, Lee, Leo, Lili, Law, Miguel, Nina, Panda, Paul, Steve, Xiaoyu, and Yoshimitsu.
