** Very much YMMV. While it does depart from the game storyline, it also maintains a lot of the core story and character elements. The actors look and dress like their counterparts, and the fighting styles displayed are fairly distinct. Taken on its own merits, it is well-written, well-acted, and well-paced. I doubt it would have done well had it been released in the US theatrically simply because so many people would hide behind this trope.

At most, you'll get a joke ending on how your character had the snot beaten out of them, or won a tournament... only to be upstaged, such as Paul beating up Ogre, then leaving for Jin to fight True Ogre.
** Kind of a half-subversion. Seeing as the host of the tournament has always been a Mishima and the fact the overarching plot of the games as a whole exists to tell their story, this might not be that big of a problem (while there are lots of characters who suffer for the overbearing plot domination of the Mishimas, in a sense they "bought" the spotlight in the first place). Besides, a lot of endings do become canonical (minus actually winning the tournament) and the character's role in the next game is built on the result of their ending (such as King'sCrowningMomentOfFunny: "BRING IT ON, YA ALIENS!"
* CompleteMonster:Kazuya, especially from ''Tekken4'').4'' onwards, shows a lot of shades of this, being far worse than his father.

* DesignatedHero: Heihachi was, more or less, the central charater in ''Tekken 2'' alongside Jun.
* DracoInLeatherPants: Kazuya
* EpilepticTrees: There has been some fan speculation that Angel came into existence because of Jun's presence.
** Heihachi's tenure as a GuestFighter in the [=PS2=] version of ''[[SoulSeries Soulcalibur II]]'' (most notably, [[spoiler:Heihachi accidentally cutting his hand with [[ArtifactOfDoom a fragment of]] [[EvilWeapon Soul]] [[TheCorruption Edge]]]]) has a few fans wondering about a possible connection between [[spoiler:Soul Edge and the Mishima bloodline]]. It is, however, quite likely that his participation is non-canon.
** Quite a few people are convinced that Ogre is holding Jun's '''''[[PoisonOakEpilepticTrees severed head]]''''' in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0JM1QdafWg arcade intro]] to ''3''. Alternatively, this could be how Jin ''interpreted'' the events, seeing as he was knocked unconscious by Ogre.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Nina, Yoshimitsu, Jun
* FanDumb: One of the biggest in the series. [[CrossingTheLineTwice Fans even sent death threats to series director Katsuhiro Harada]]'s Twitter and Facebook accounts, demanding that she be brought back for ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2''. Sadly, [[ExtremeDoormat he caved in to them]]. And that's not all. When they finally got what they wanted, [[UnpleasableFanbase they STILL complained]], this time about the new look Jun debuted in the ''[=TT2=]'' trailer.
** Actually if he got six thousand tweets he'd bring her back. [[FridgeBrilliance Looks like fans shored up the numbers and he'll give them Jun, just not the Jun they remember.]]
* {{Fanon}}: They believe Xang to be Xiaoyu's grandfather due to Xiaoyu addressing him as such. In this case, Xiao was calling him "Grandpa" in the same way that a person would say "Gramps" to a random elder. They ''are'' distant relatives and Wang trained her at one time, but Wang is not her grandfather.
** For a long while, most fansites had the story of Bruce being Lei Wulong's police partner, who lost his memory on the plane crash and was manipulated by Kazuya into becoming his bodyguard. This seems to be a confusion from his canon story, where Lei's actual nameless partner was with Bruce in the plane.
** Most of their story in ''Tekken 2'', probably due to them having little to none back then. This includes being trained by Armor King and being saved/sent to a safe wild area by Jun.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[DaisukeGouri Heihachi Mishima...]] [[AuthorExistenceFailure is dead.]]
* GameBreaker: Heihachi's incarnation in ''5''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXw4s3DV3uE As you can see]], his jab combos can punish you like there's no tomorrow and his juggles are dangerous. Summed up by this comment:
-->"[The] thing I love about Heihachi is that all of his moves are soo overpowered and seem really cheap. Well, I guess if ''I'' was 70-years-old, I'd need cheap moves too. lol"
** In ''4''. Jin's 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]] Jin sports in ''4''.
* {{Mondegreen}}: In ''3'', the audio for Jin's (Left) Spinning High Kick (foward + left kick; that's f+ 3 for those of you fluent in ''Tekken'' lingo) sounds like "Guess who!".
* MoralEventHorizon: Bryan's slaughter of the Manji clan after they had JUST saved his life.
* SavedByTheFans: Kazuya
* ViewerGenderConfusion: In the first ''Tekken'', Kunimitsu was nearly identical to Yoshimitsu in terms of looks and the two even shared the same voice.
** Kunimitsu's japanese profile in ''Tekken'' actually uses ''He'' when speaking of her (him?).
