General Tekken Thread

Dude. I think you're trolling to be honest now but I doubt any here has that kind of working knowledge. They could be made up.

So those tanks aren't real tanks?

As for the Jacks, I think I heard somewhere that the girl who was associated with the Jack robots in earlier games started working for G Corporation after the events of Tekken 3.

You mean Jane, right? But my issue with G Corporation building Jacks is that why didn't the Russian government complain about it? I mean, it's not like G Corporation is Russian, because if it is, them having a facility in the U.S (which was where Kazuya was resurrected) would be problematic, given the current problem the U.S. has right now with Russian oligarchs?

The Jack robots were originally Russian? This has come up all of never in the games I've played.

For all we know, the Russians commissioned them from G in the first place.

But yeah, seriously, what a random and pointless nitpick.

Plus, Tekken is the silliest shit when it comes to story. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since the game isn't selling itself on that aspect, but I don't see the point in picking out one or two specific discrepancies or unanswered questions when the series has thousands.

I've been trying to get a feel for the strength levels of the more unnatural characters (Kazuya and Jin in their devil forms)Jinpachi, Azazel, The Jack Robots, Alisa, and now Eliza as well.

Considering they are all either possessed by demons, actual demons, Robots, or a Vampire, they should all have some level of Super-Strength Made of Iron / Super-Toughness right?

Well, maybe not Alisa, since she gets cut in half in the movie (no, not that movie), but I haven't seen that one, so I can't be sure what it is that fucks her up that much.

Whatever the case, how strong do you think these guys are? Capable of tossing small cars with ease and the like, and taking those cars to the face with minimal discomfort, or are they are fragile as the fully human fighters (since normal people lie Paul have defeated Ogre, and Heihachi survived multiple nukes to the face).

As always, Rob is rather curious.

everyone in this series has super strength......

The individual effectiveness of any given character's strength varies from scene to scene as it needs to.

and

Heh. I probably shouldn't be surprised by that. But I still had to ask and get it off my chest.

I'm assuming that some characters are still more likely to be flinging cars and pillars —if it was necessary— than others?

Or should I watch out for Xiaoyu to pull a Superman one day?

As everyone just said, this series largely runs on rule of cool, humor, and popularity. If Xiayou needs to, than yes. They will contrive something for it.

.....

Well, I'm not bothered by that, so cool beans.

Given the fact the Devil Gene may have came from Kazuya's mother, and the fact Azrael may have had a hand with the Devil Gene, would that mean Kazuya's mother isn't full Japanese, with the same applying to her descendants?

For all we know, the Devil Gene entered the bloodline millions of years ago before folks even settled into Japan. There really is no way of telling.

Thanks

So how did Marshall get outed as an American while working at that restaurant post-T4 that he got deported back to America post-T5?

Not speaking Japanese, being a fairly famous Asian American martial artist, just sheer bad luck on his part....

But if he can't speak Japanese, then how did he wind up washing dishes at a restaurant?

Let me run this wild mass guess past you guys:

Paul Phoenix would be the hero of Tekken if he had better luck

• A winning record over the Mashima Family (fighting Kazuya to a draw, and apparently beating both Jin and Heihachi at different points)

• Surviving fist fights with a bear. A very intelligent bear as well.

• He managed to beat Ogre. Yeah, not true Ogre, but if he could be a supernatural being like that in a fight when it's holding back, maybe he wouldn't have fared so badly if he'd stuck around for True Ogre.

If the guy could just catch a tiny break, he'd have stopped all the bad shit that went down in this series (for instance, Heihachi might not have gotten the opportunity to betray Jin if Paul had fought and beat True Ogre).

Crazy theory, or craziest theory.

True Ogre is more of a wuss than Ogre anyway, so Paul probably would have won.

But yeah, he isn't a bad fighter at all, he's actually probably pretty up there in terms of strength, but he is held back by a combination of arrogance, boneheadedness, and good ol fashioned bad luck.

4 almost made him a serious character even. He definitely has the potential to be someone more than he is, though if I had to guess, the writers don't know what his place in the story would be if he was. Kazuya is beyond caring about rivals at this point.

Speaking of T4, who won the Fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament anyways? Kazuya or Heihachi?

I don't think it's ever stated. All we know is that one beat the other, then Heihachi led Kazuya to Jin.

That's perfectly irrelevant to the plot, but officially it was Heihachi.

Thanks

Source on that please?

Why do you care?
