A friend asked me to describe Tekken in five words or less and I said, "Just the worst dads."

time contracts or expands in japanese games depending on how old the characters are getting. this is why resident evil required a half dozen CG films because of random long/short gaps of time between games, but everyone still looks 25

@@Hugsloth Ikr that’s the perfect example we’re not yet ready for an old Leon. The remakes helped give them filler injections so they could be in their prime for longer. Ngl it’s cool af that the characters age in real time. All of the games have the same dates as real life unless they are prequels but no one really cares about seeing old characters yet. Mario has existed for years but he’s still the same.

My favourite insane part of Tekken lore is Paul and Kuma have a generational rivalry and continuously fight each other in the earlier rounds of the KOIF tournaments - even after Kuma dies of old age and his son takes over the name, he still continues to want to stick his thumb in Paul's eyes.

Apparently the King that interacted with the live action children died between 2 and 3, and the current King was one of those live action children grown up. Don't know if that was said already

Even if you have a strong adblocker, the site itself spams incessant popups to 'engage' with the website or click here or there. Or you just straight up get an UNRELATED VIDEO marketing an upcoming piece of media headlining the page no matter what it is-- and it even replaces the thumbnails in search results!

I love Paul's official track record; Pre-Tekken 1: Fights Kazuya to a draw Tekken 1: Beats Kuma, Lost to Kauya but it's implied that was a semifinal match Tekken 2: Beats Kuma, is set to face Kazuya again but gets stuck in traffic, misses the match and is DQed Tekken 3: Beats everybody else up to the finals, beats Ogre, leaves. Jin then steals the win Tekken 4: LOSES TO KUMA II Tekken 5: Beats Kuma II but the forfiets due to injuries gained from fighting a bear as a 48 year old Tekken 6: No recorded wins in this one but it was happening during a war and was cancelled, so... Tekken 7: Beats Panda. We don't know who else he beat or how far he got we do know he recieved a small share of prize money so probably quite high
