** Partially subverted with Tekken Tag Tournament 2's bonus movies and soundtracks, which WERE paid, but not essential content.
** When Tekken 7 finally DID bring in paid gameplay content, Katsuhiro Harada went on record as stating the classic characters would NEVER be paid DLC, with the season pass being purely [[GuestFighter guest fighters]] and a bonus mode, with him expressing great regret over even that.



** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwH8NAyO8os The E3 2016 trailer]] depicts the battle between Akuma and Heihachi within a burning dojo, ending with Heihachi seemingly claiming victory...only for Akuma to get up and use his [[OneHitKill Raging Demon]]. Heihachi takes the full brunt of it, but ''still gets back up from it''! Keep in mind that only two others besides Haihachi survived this attack: M. Bison and Akuma's brother Gouken, but M. Bison transferred his soul into another body and Gouken was put into a coma.

** When you fight Shin Akuma in Tekken 7, one 'correction' was done to his move set, in that the Raging Demon is finally LITERALLY a OneHitKill.

** In addition of this, [[spoiler:this scores one clean victory for Kazuya, who has been suffering TheWorfEffect since the first game. He outlasted Heihachi at his fullest and the final blow is done not by Devil Kazuya, but Human!Kazuya... with his usual gloves already destroyed, it's just his bare fist that finished Heihachi off. And this didn't tire him, he's ready for Round Two with Akuma after such grueling battle.]]

* The Character Stories may be a bit too short, but there's something awesome within some pieces. For instance, King, after having all his moves read by Jack-6, decides to [[AllYourPowersCombined unleash some other skills he learned from Marduk and Armor King (by just looking at them fight in the past), scoring victory.

[[spoiler: After absolving to let his sins be known to the world after confronting the painful memory of killing Kazumi, Heihachi sets one last fight with Kazuya in the middle of an ''active volcano,'' complete with it being broadcast to the world.]] What follows is one hell of a showdown, though it's also [[spoiler: Heihachi's LastDance.]]

* Heihachi's entrance at the start of the final boss battle of ''Tekken 4''. The fever-pitch audience and the pro wrestling-style entrance ramp gives the match a big fight feel that is hard to equal.

Just as an asteroid is falling towards Earth, Jack-6 takes flight towards the asteroid and starts hammering away at it, only to have minimal effect. It looks like Jack-6 is about to fly away from it, only to fly towards it full throttle and uses all his power to break the asteroid into bits and sacrifices himself in the process.
