History Characters / Tekken3

* CrackPairing: Ever since the second trailer for ''Tekken 6'', Hwoarang/Lili has gained some popularity simply because the two were depicted as [[BattleCouple tag-teaming]] against Jin. That and, [[DistaffCounterpart she is Asuka as he is to Jin]].

* TearJerker: His reaction to Baek's death in Baek's ''6'' ending, wherein a very distressed Hwoarang screams "Sa buh nim!"[[hottip:*:"Master!" in Korean]] as Baek lays dying.

** TierInducedScrappy. Because of the button mashing, a lot of people loathe fighting him online despite the fact that he has been balanced out since ''5''.

* LawfulGood: He's a monarchist, believe it or not. His work for Jin, meanwhile, was impelled [[spoiler:under false claims of being able to save his master. He is ''not'' with the Tekken Force anymore, no...]]

* LawfulGood: Panda is always eager to protect Xiaoyu, even when she doesn't know Xiaoyu's reasons for entering the tournament.

* CombatStilettos: Moreso in ''3''.
* CrackPairing: With King II, due to the maybe 14 seconds of dialogue they shared in ''[=T5=]'', although that dialogue had a very [[SoulSeries Kilik/Xianghua]] feel to it. [[spoiler:If she's the new luchador "Jaycee" in ''[=TTT2=]'' (note [[http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5050/5288864131_d92048af25_b.jpg the pendant]]) then it seems like she's adopted a more wrestling-based style as well.]]

* BaseBreaker: Similar to the Bryan example above, it's not the character that fans hate. He's seen as TheScrappy mainly because his inclusion forced the removal of Jun from the roster, something that has yet to be rectified three games later. Only time will tell if his inclusion in ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' alongside Jun will rectify this.

* EpilepticTrees: The true extent of his connection to Devil/the Devil Gene. Heihachi sought the Devil Gene in ''4'' so that he combine his genetic material with Ogre's to gain {{Immortality}} or create a new lifeform. In ''Devil Within'', True Ogre's presence causes the Devil inside Jin to flare out of control. In ''Dark Resurrection'', Dragunov's ending has him revive an inanimate figure resembling True Ogre using Devil Jin's power/lifeforce.

* ThatOneBoss: In ''Devil Within''.
** SequentialBoss: For the FinalBoss [[BossBattle Battle]], you face True Ogre ''again'', and then ''his'' OneWingedAngel, Monstrous Ogre.

* GameBreaker: [[HitboxDissonance Due to his really small size]].

* CharacterDerailment: Arguably occurs in the sixth game.
** Er... [[spoiler:[[FakeDefector half]]-[[WellIntentionedExtremist true]].]]

* GameBreaker: In ''4''. His Laser Scraper combo (if properly-timed) and the fact that his recovery time was faster in most situations that most of the cast gave him viable tools to constantly apply pressure to his opponents. The end result? You're looking at the sole occupant of [[CharacterTiers top tier]] in high-level TournamentPlay. Jin endured quite a bit of TierInducedScrappy disdain during this time.
** Devil Jin is just as bad, as according to CharacterTiers, he's the ''only'' A+ tier character in ''5'' (true to form, his dad and grandpa are no. 2 and no. 3).

* MemeticOutfit: The [[InTheHood hoodie]] he sports in ''4''.

* {{Mondegreen}}: In ''3'', the audio for his (Left) Spinning High Kick (foward + left kick; that's f+ 3 for those of you fluent in ''Tekken'' lingo) sounds like "Guess who!".
* NeutralGood --> ChaoticNeutral --> LawfulEvil [[spoiler:(But only on the surface.)]]

* TheWoobie: Poor, poor Jin...
** StoicWoobie
** IronWoobie

* ChaoticGood

* NeutralGood

* NeutralGood

* NeutralGood

* BaseBreaker: In a bit of a subversion, people have no qualms with the character. It's simply a matter of which ''characterization'' of him you like: the more reserved {{Badass}} that debuted in ''3'' or the raging, power-hungry OneManArmy that emerged in ''5'' (''4'' was a bit of intermediate stage).

* ChaoticEvil
* CompleteMonster

* MoralEventHorizon: His slaughter of the Manji clan after they had JUST saved his life.

* NeutralGood

* TheWoobie: This guy seems to ''never'' have a good ending, or not least, [[YankTheDogsChain not for long]]. He's kidnapped by Kazuya, his daughter dies [[spoiler:but appears to have be reanimated to some degree in the form of Alisa]] and he's afflicted by a mysterious disease (thus requiring Ogre's blood), and Bryan severely injures him after Yoshimitsu ''saves Bryan's life'' and Dr. B. offers to ''repair Bryan''.
** This even extends to his cameo in ''TTT'', where you can actually ''[[ComedicSociopathy K.O. him with the bowling ball]]''.

** SchrodingerFu: What do you expect from a character whose intro involves him falling to the ground and having to rely on crabwalking for the rest of the match?

* ChaoticNeutral

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[KindRedEyes Averted]].

* YourSizeMayVary: His ending has some issues on this: Gon looks relatively big compared to a panther/bear, but then incredibly small against a ''gull''...

* PlayingWithFire: [[RealityEnsues Of course]], [[UnblockableAttack you can't block it]].

The list of characters who were introduced in {{Tekken}} 3.

* AntiHero: Type IV

* CharacterDerailment: arguably occurs in the sixth game

** [[FanNickname DJ]] is just as bad, as according to CharacterTiers, he's the ''only'' A+ tier character in ''5'' (true to form, his dad and grandpa are no. 2 and no. 3).

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: Has the same [[IsshinChiba seiyuu]] as [[JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]].

* MemeticOutfit: The hoodie he sports in ''4''.

-->'''Devil Jin''': "I will teach you the meaning of fear!" [[hottip:* :While the subtitles read ''"Fear the wrath of God!"'', this translation is incorrect. Devil Jin's words ("Kyoufu wo oshiete yarou!") are something more along the lines of the above.]]

* MeaningfulName: Named after the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwarang Hwarang]], an elite group of young male warriors located in Silla, an ancient Korean kingdom from the 10th century.

** He's all but ''[[TemptingFate asking]]'' to get inaugurated into StreetFighterXTekken with that comment.

* FluffyFashionFeathers: Her dress in [[http://tekken.wikia.com/wiki/File:LingTekken5.jpg 5]] and [[http://tekken.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ling-6.jpg 6]] is trimmed with feathers at the shoulders.

-->[[RuleOfThree * even more jaguar noises* ]]

* GenerationXerox / {{Expy}}: The original King was patterned off of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fray_Tormenta Fray Tormenta]], who was succeeded by an child from his orphanage.

* LawfulGood: He's a monarchist, believe it or not. His work for Jin, meanwhile, was impelled [[spoiler: under false claims of being able to save his master. He is ''not'' with the Tekken Force anymore, no...]]
* [[{{Mentors}} Mentor]]: Christie's grandfather is one to him, and he is one to Christie.

-->* more bear noises*

* BootstrappedTheme: In a sense. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TIkjRonjAg BGM]] that accompanied all of the hidden characters (sans Heihachi and Ogre) in ''3'' was reworked to become [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYnjHcB3DM8 Julia's theme in the home port]].

* CrackPairing: With King II, due to the maybe 14 seconds of dialogue they shared in T5, although that dialogue had a very [[{{SoulSeries}} Kilik/Xianghua]] feel to it. [[spoiler: If she's the new luchador "Jaycee" in [=TTT2=] (note [[http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5050/5288864131_d92048af25_b.jpg the pendant]]) then it seems like she's adopted a more wrestling-based style as well.]]
* [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Does This Remind You of Anyone?]]: Julia's custom options and ending in ''6'' implies she is a big big fan of [[TombRaider Lara Croft]].

-->* wood noises*

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted.

* TheVoiceless: Subverted slightly; it has a conversation with Roger Jr.'s mother in its and Roger Jr.'s storyline modes in ''Tekken 5''. However, this is ''heavily'' abjured in the Scenario Campaign in ''6'', where it's flat-out referred to as a talking puppet/doll/etc. in several cases. Not that you get to actually ''hear'' the voice in that text-based dialogue, though...And it's in parentheses, like with Kuma, Panda, and Roger Jr., so who can say what's going on...

* BaseBreaker: Similar to the Bryan example above, it's not the character that fans hate. He's seen as TheScrappy mainly because his inclusion forced the removal of Jun from the roster, something that has yet to be rectified three games later.

* PlayingWithFire: [[RealityEnsues Of course]], you can't block it.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Base-form Ogre is shirtless and resembles an Aztec god.

* JamesBondage: His role all throrough the series.

* TheWoobie: This guy seems to ''never'' have a good ending, or not least, not for long. He's kidnapped by Kazuya, his daughter dies [[spoiler:but appears to have be reanimated to some degree in the form of Alisa]] and he's afflicted by a mysterious disease (thus requiring Ogre's blood), and Bryan severely injures him after Yoshimitsu ''saves Bryan's life'' and Dr. B. offers to ''repair Bryan''.
** This even extends to him cameo in ''TTT'', where you can actually ''[[ComedicSociopathy K.O. him with the bowling ball]]''.

* GameBreaker: Due to his really small size.

* WaifFu: With a height of 157cm and a weight of 42km, Xiaoyu is the smallest of the female competitors, but can throw around guys like Jack or Marduk. Again, justified; Piguaquan (the other discipline her style draws inspiration from) is known for its explosive power.

* CrackPairing: With King II, due to the maybe 14 seconds of dialogue they shared in T5, although that dialogue had a very [[{{SoulSeries}} Kilik/Xianghua]] feel to it. [[spoiler: If she's the secret "Queen" character in TTT2 (note the pendant) then it seems like she's adopted a more wrestling-based style as well.]]

* GameBreaker: In ''4''. His Laser Scraper combo (if properly-timed) and the fact that his recovery time was faster in most situations that most of the cast gave him viable tools to constantly apply pressure to his opponents. The end result? You're looking at the sole occupant of [[CharacterTiers top tier]] in high-level TournamentPlay.

** [[spoiler:The first in-game footage of ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' confirms this has been taken this to the logical extreme as, yes, she is indeed Jaycee the luchadora.]]

** [[Spoiler:The first in-game footage of ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' confirms this has been taken this to the logical extreme as, yes, she is indeed Jaycee the luchadora.]]

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Seeing as she takes after Michelle, this was inevitable.

* GenerationXerox
