History Awesome / Tekken

* Chapter 11 sees Lars as the final obstacle between Kazuya and a Jin that still hasn't awaken yet. Thus it's Lars vs True Devil Kazuya and Lars is hanging in there withstanding everything Kazuya throws at him. If this fight proved anything, despite not learning the Mishima style, Lars is still a Mishima to his very core. It gets so bad that it retraumatizes Kazuya back to his fight against Heihachi in Tekken 7. If Kazuya is correlating you with his father, than you know you're bad ass.

** And worth noting is the segment when you play as King II. He's just being himself, a genuinely good-hearted wrestler, but at the same time, he's taking on a bunch of G Corporation soldiers with his wrestling moves. The Yggdrasil and UN soldiers are ''moved'' like the audience watching his wrestling bouts, and they start cheering, "KING! KING! KING! KING!". King II certainly knows how to generate audience hype in-universe, even when he's not in the wrestling ring!

* Let's face it: Jin's '''entire character arc''' in this game is just a love letter to ''Tekken'' fans and especially Jin fans. He finally accepts Devil Jin as a part of himself and masters his Devil power once again, learns how to use his Kazama spiritual powers, combining them with his Devil powers to become ''Angel Jin'', successfully purges himself and Kazuya of the Devil Gene, and then proceeds to defeat Kazuya without killing him, all while embracing '''every single fighting style he's mastered over the years'''. Just the feeling of getting to play a modernized version of Classic Tekken 3 Jin is something that needs to be experienced firsthand to be believed.

* Bob's endings certainly count. He dresses up as a superhero to protect innocent civilians from dangerous situations, using his [[CatchPhrase SPEEED and WEIGHT!]]. Made even more awesome by the comic book style they're done in.

** Hwoarang vs Devil Jin ends either indecisively or total victory... for [[BadassNormal Hwoarang]]. This is the ''only'' time in any story mode that Devil Jin has taken a loss.

** It's also a meta example for Namco Bandai as ''NO ONE'' saw this coming as many were too focused on Akuma not having been revealed in [[VideoGame/StreetFighterV the most recent game]] in the Street Fighter series. That and the WhamShot that revealed '''he was the mysterious figure''' seen in the past trailers Kazumi was asking to kill Heihachi and Kazuya in case of her death. Again, no one saw that coming.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hPuRQz6IlM trailer]] has Jin and Kazuya squaring off in the same area where Heihachi met his end at the hands of the latter. During the fight Jin taps into the Devil Gene and delivers a powerful blow to Kazuya. That's right folks, Jin has finally managed to take full control of his darker half!

** Even more awesome, this part of the intro was faithfully recreated in ''7'', complete with ''gameplay''! Not only you get to relive Kazuya and Heihachi kicking lots of Jack ass, you get to '''play it''', taking on several robots in a row with the two Mishima warriors and making it clear why they are two of the biggest badasses in the whole franchise. One hell of a NostalgiaLevel!

* King's ending. King is in a wrestling ring getting the crap kicked out of him in a tag team match, when he's able to make the tag to Marduk of all people. Marduk [[CurbstompBattle curbstomps]] them before he and King finish their opponents off with the [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} Muscle Docking!]]

* But wait, there's more! Who's the other character that comes with Season 4? Lidia Sobieska- the (in-universe) ''Prime Minister of Poland'' herself! That sounds pretty cool and all, but... OhCrap She's a Shotokan karate practitioner? Like [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Makoto]] and [[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Hitomi]]? Get outta here, surely that can't be it, right? Wait, what is that? IS THAT POOLSIDE [[CallBack FROM TEKKEN 5]]?! It got a [[https://soundcloud.com/orbicube/tekken-7-island-paradise-1st-poolside-remix remix]]?! No way!! It's so good to see Lee chilling in the background just like in the ''Tekken 5'' original. Oh, hold on. It's got a Balcony Break. Wha-- '''[[https://soundcloud.com/orbicube/tekken-7-island-paradise-2nd-kitsch-remix KITSCH?!?]] FROM TEKKEN 4?!''' A [[BeachEpisode BEACH STAGE]]?! [[HellYesMoment YES!!]] Meh, it's quite a ways out-- MARCH 23RD?!? Boy, does it feel good to be a ''Tekken'' fan now!

** Negan's proper reveal trailer mirrors the infamous scene from The Walking Dead's ''"Last Day On Earth"'' episode, showing the cast of ''Tekken 7'' kneeling before Negan as the Saviors watch on. Then Lars, similar to Daryl, actually tries to fight back, getting to his feet and slugging Negan in the face. The rest of the ''Tekken 7'' fighters rise up against him only for Negan to single-handedly beat them all back down to their knees before delivering his final attack to Paul, who "Takes it like a champ", just like [[spoiler: Abraham]].

*** That being said, it's clear that Heihachi made him work his ''ass'' off for the win, as throughout the fight, he stands in absolute defiance of Kazuya ramping up his use of the Devil Gene, choosing to use his rage in a clear, concise manner rather than lashing out with overwhelming force. It allows him - a normal, mortal man - to trade blows with a far younger, far stronger man with his skill and grit alone. By the time Kazuya's dealt the final blow, he's not just angry - the fight has ''retraumatized'' him, and in that moment he felt just as helpless as he did when Heihachi first tossed him off a cliff.

** 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.
** Also, for anyone that knows Akuma knows how much of a badass he is by literally name alone. His backstory in Tekken 7 is that he was indebted to Kazumi because she had saved his life. Whatever she did to save Akuma's life that he would be indebted years later says wonders about Kazumi.

** Negan's proper reveal trailer mirrors the infamous scene from The Walking Dead's ''"Last Day On Earth"'' episode, showing the cast of Tekken 7 kneeling before Negan as the Saviors watch on.
