Paul is canonically stronger than the Boulder puncher Chris Redfield.

You don't compare those two, Paul himself is said to be the strongest in the universe. If Akuma met him in the Tekken 7 story, I guarantee you he'd run scared.

@@pinkguycomments69 lol, no. The whole "strongest in the universe" thing is just his brand. He's lost to Kuma and hasn't canonically beat any heavy hitters except basic form Ogre, and tied with Kazuya when he was at his weakest.

Tekken 4 is the only serious Paul ending. From T5 to onwards he turned into comedic personality and I hate it.
@KenMasters.11 ай бұрын
I always thought Paul was always comedic since 1994. • The first joke about Paul in TK1 was his poorly drawn portrait of Kazuya at 0:19. • The second was him in Marshall's TK2 ending where Paul fumbles a Flash Kick. • Paul's ending in TK3 shows him throwing a child-like tantrum to a motorcycle cop. • In Law's TKTT ending, Paul and Forrest accidentally kicked each other in the ring-gongs.

@@KenMasters. it isn't just that, it's that Paul was also taken seriously back then because there were multiple times in the story where Paul could've won the tournament but due to the mishimas being the protagonist he always lost due to bullshit inconveniences In Tekken 6, they destroyed Law and Paul's character completely by making them cheat during the tournament, forgetting the fact that Paul's strength is in the same level as Kazuya's and that Law is based on Bruce Lee, would Bruce Lee ever lie to his audience? No. They basically turned them both into complete jokes forgetting that both of them had a serious side to them as well.

I disagree, just because Paul has way too much silliness that outbalances his potential coolness. Everyone agrees that he was the best in TK4 because it put some real energy into making him cool.

I bought it day 1. I honestly think it's just a timing issue because it launched In the videogaming prime era. Also most of tekken's current fans were way too young to play it, but old enough to play tekken 5. Most of the current fans of Tekken are from 5 onwards.
Paul in TK4 looks like Tyler Durden from the book version of Fight Club.
