Initial Cast
Asuka Kazama
 |
Debut: Tekken 5 |
 |
A Japanese girl from Osaka who dedicates her life to the study of her family's martial arts. She is a relative of Jin Kazama (apparently his cousin on his mom's side) and the rival of Lili. In Tekken 5, she sought out Feng Wei for destroying her family's dojo and in Tekken 6, was on the trail of Jin Kazama following his wave of destruction caused by the Zaibatsu global war.
While Asuka doesn't like the idea of pairing up with her rival Lili, piqued interest in Pandora has her doing just that.
- Cute Bruiser: A very cute lady who packs a big punch.
- Fingerless Gloves
- Hot-Blooded
- She's Got Legs
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: She's not very pleased with the idea of working with Lili.
- Tomboy
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: When teamed up with Lili. And with lots of other girls in the cast, to be fair.
Robert "Bob" Richards
|
Debut: Tekken 6 |
|
Once a revered legend in the fighting scene due to his technique and looks, Bob disappeared only to return morbidly obese. Believing that he had found the perfect balance of speed, technique and power, Bob enters the King of Iron Fist tournament 6 to prove his worth once more.
Bob is hired to accompany Julia to the Antarctic, in order to secure Pandora. He nonchalantly accepts, saying "a job is a job" and making Julia wonder if he's aware of the danger this takes.
- Acrofatic: He ends up fighting fellow fatty Rufus in the TGS 2011 trailer.
- Bounty Hunter: According to his intro with Julia.
- Eagle Land: The sympathetic kind.
- Everything's Better with Bob
- The Fighting Narcissist: A benign version compared to Vega, but his defeat quote shows how obsessive he is over his body.
|
My perfect body! |
|
- Improvised Weapon: Dinner plates in the TGS trailer.
Heihachi Mishima
|
Debut: Tekken |
|
The former head of the Mishima Zaibatsu and host of the first, third, and fourth King of Iron Fist tournaments. Heihachi has mastered the use of his family's signature karate and proved himself to be an opponent who cannot be taken lightly. He is also known for possessing superhuman strength, shown in his fighting style and his survival of a cataclysmic explosion, aimed at him.
After hearing about the Mishima Zaibatsu's war with Shadoloo over Pandora, as well as the G Corporation's involvement, Heihachi seeks to obtain the box for himself, thus foiling his son and grandson's plans. He takes his pet bear Kuma with him as insurance.
- Badass Grandpa: In his 70's, and still able to match much younger fighters.
- Hypocritical Humor: He keeps mocking other people's hairstyles, despite his own being... abnormal.
|
(vs. Guile) "You have a hairstyle that is... how should I say this... Weird." |
|
- Turns Red: Heihachi's Pandora mode literally does this instead of succumbing to the usual effects of Pandora. Apparently, this comes from Executive Meddling - Word of God states that in Tekken canon Heihachi should never be taken over by external influences of any kind, so this is the alternative that Harada and Ono came up with.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: His Pandora mode. Instead of letting his teammates sacrifice themselves, he just shoves them off the battlefield and Turns Red.
Hwoarang
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
A South Korean ex-gang leader, now turned Taekwondo expert under the guidance of the well-respected instructor Baek Doo-san. Also the self-proclaimed rival of Jin Kazama, who he fought to a standstill. Hwoarang has since then been a frequent participant of the King of Iron Fist tournaments to face Jin once more and defeat him, once and for all.
A sanctioned fight between Steve and himself is violently interrupted by the Mishima Zaibatsu and Shadoloo. Outraged since he was fighting under Baek's orders so he'd get additional experience and training, he teams up with Steve in order to strike back at the organizations that had the nerve to ruin their bout AND keep him from filling his master/foster father's request.
- Badass Biker
- Big No: When defeated.
- Extremity Extremist: As a Taekwondo practitioner, the majority of his moves involve kicking.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Extremely snappy and Hot-Blooded, but not a bad person.
- Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: "You're not gonna like this ONE BIT!" Take note, this is before he performs an aerial axe kick on you, followed by "You're gonna taste SOME FLOOR with this one!"
- Red Oni, Blue Oni - Savvy Guy, Energetic Other Guy: The Red Oni and Energetic One
- Spank the Cutie: His win quote against Poison (which he says using his "happy" portrait);
|
"Sorry, I like to spank girls. Not get spanked by them." |
|
Jin Kazama
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
The son of Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama. Also the current CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu, which he seized during the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Jin is a sad, angry and very troubled young man, haunted by the disappearance and apparent death of his mother and the curse of the Devil Gene as a descendant of the Mishima bloodline. He participated in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 at the behest of his grandfather Heihachi, led to believe that he would be able to avenge his mother by killing the God of Fight, Ogre. However, Heihachi simply had used him as live bait, betraying and attempting to kill him at the end of the tournament. Jin survived by awakening the Devil Gene and has sworn that he would once and for all seal its evil by eliminating his family and himself. Prior to hosting the sixth King of Iron Fist Tournament, Jin waged a global war using the Zaibatsu's resources, hoping to revive an ancient monster through the chaos and strife of warfare, believing it to be the key to freeing himself and the world from the Devil Gene.
The reason why the Mishima Zaibatsu has been so adamant on obtaining Pandora is entirely personal: Jin believes it to be the key in ridding himself of the Devil Gene. He decides to go to Antarctica himself, allowing his close friend/prospect Love Interest and Morality Pet Xiaoyu to come along.
- Anti-Hero / Anti-Villain: Jin's motivation for obtaining Pandora is to rid himself of the Devil Gene but he will use any means possible to acomplish his goals. His victory quotes are, with few exceptions, very callous and rude (though not actually malicious).
- Berserk Button: NO ONE should EVER harm "Xiao". Juri found this out the hard way in the fifth Cinematic Trailer: when she beat up the poor girl and even put her foot on her head, Jin was so furious that he almost released his Super-Powered Evil Side on her and Bison right there and had to hold a lot on his sanity to not do it.
- Energy Ball: He doesn't exactly fire them, but can punch them around.
- Eye Beams: As the final blow of his Super Art. Unlike Kazuya, however, it seems he uses this because his Devil Gene takes over briefly.
- Lap Pillow: Towards the end, Jin is knocked out after his attempt to use Pandora to eliminate the Devil Gene fails, and then he wakes up leaning on Xiaoyu's lap
- Precision F-Strike: When he defeats his cousin, Asuka, a known loudmouth.
|
"I don't have time to listen to your bullshit." |
|
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: He and Xiaoyu, in a nutshell.
- Shoo the Dog - Stay in the Kitchen: Often tells a mix of these to Xiaoyu, who had to pretty much force her way into their partnership at the very start of their path.
- Sub Boss: With Pandora Xiaoyu as Pandora Jin.
- Super-Powered Evil Side: Like Kazuya, Jin can transform into a bloodthirsty demon by unlocking the Devil Gene within him. Unlike Kazuya, he does not embrace this, and is actually trying his best to get rid of it.
- That said, his Super Art technique does briefly feature his Devil persona, but it seems more like it momentarily takes over his body, rather than him voluntarily using it like Kazuya.
Julia Chang
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
The adoptive daughter of former King of Iron Fist tournament participant Michelle Chang, Julia has picked up many things from her mother, including her love for nature and skill in fighting. Julia has participated in the tournaments in order to help her further this goal.
Concerned about the effects Pandora could have over nature, Julia wants to investigate the box herself. She hires Bob as a bodyguard to the South Pole.
- Amazonian Beauty: Capcom's penchant for handing out Heroic Builds to most characters of either gender seems to have rubbed off on Julia, who is shown to have a more muscular physique than usual (as compared to her home series, where she's a bit more slender and athletic). It's especially notorious regarding her abs.
- Apologetic Attacker: She would appear to be one here.
- Bare Your Midriff
- The Glasses Come Off/Glasses Pull: In her intro pose.
- Magic Skirt: She wears a VERY short denim skirt, but there are no Panty Shots.
- Martial Pacifist: Her taunt: "Why do you insist on fighting?"
- Nature Hero
- Savvy Girl, Energetic Guy: She and Bob border on this.
- She's Got Legs
- Took a Level In Jerkass: Even when she can be apologetic, she's also quite condescending and cold at times in many of her quotes. This comes off as a bit of a shock for Tekken fans, since in Tekken canon Julia is somewhat nicer than here.
Kazuya Mishima
|
Debut: Tekken |
|
The son of Heihachi Mishima and Archnemesis Dad to Jin Kazama, Kazuya won the first tournament and used the Mishima Zaibatsu further his hidden dark agendas. Kazuya hosted the second King of Iron Fist Tournament but was bested by Heihachi, leading to a near-death experience in return for the one he pulled on Heihachi earlier. He was saved by G Corporation and has since then frequented the tournament. He is currently the CEO of G Corporation, opposing Jin Kazama's global war but only so he may remove the obstacle preventing him from making himself the dominant global superpower. He has several demonic powers at his disposal, allowing him to fly, transform into a devil form and shoot lasers.
Kazuya, looking to amplify the Devil Gene within him, seeks to take Pandora for himself. When Nina offers her assistance, Kazuya allows it.
- Abusive Parents - Archnemesis Dad: Poor, poor Jin. . .
- Badass in a Nice Suit: In the first cinematic episode
- Corrupt Corporate Executive
- Eye Beams: He uses them in both the second CG trailer and as part of a special move in the game itself. Interesting in that he doesn't need to switch to his Devil form to do this.
- Power Gives You Wings: During his super, purple wings can be seen behind Kazuya as he fires his Eye Beams, evocative of Devil. He's also briefly shown sprouting wings in the SDCC 2010 trailer, and wings made of smoke materialize behind him momentarily in the Captivate 2011 trailer.
- Shock and Awe: While the Mishima family's strongest attacks are usually surrounded by an aura of electricity, SFxT actually allows him to shock his opponents.
- Wolverine Publicity: One of the first four playable fighters revealed for SFxT, and is among the most iconic Tekken characters.
King II
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
This jaguar-masked luchador fights to preserve the legacy of his predecessor, also named King, since he was one of the children from the Orphanage of Love that King sponsored. The first King was killed by the God of Fight, Ogre, prior to the third King of Iron Fist tournament. In order to prepare himself to avenge his death, he trained under Armor King. Before the fourth tournament, Armor King was killed in a bar brawl by Craig Marduk, setting King on the path of vengeance for his slain tutor. However, by the fifth tournament the duo have made amends (after King learned that Marduk, while quite the cad, has a family that he quite cares for) and are now friends.
King hears of a being with a disturbing resemblance to Armor King in the Antarctic amidst all the fuss over Pandora. King is adamant on getting to the bottom of it, along with Marduk.
- Badass: He sharpshoots devils (Kazuya, Akuma) and gods (Ogre) and swings around people twice his size. (Hugo)
|
(vs. Kazuya) The jaguar is the god of all living things! It will not lose to the devil! |
|
- Everything's Better with Spinning: His Giant Swing grab, which is way faster than usual.
- Masked Luchador
- Nice Guy: He's a rather kind-hearted fellow, if Hot-Blooded.
- Professional Wrestling: His whole fighting style, utilizing various wrestling grabs in his movelist.
- The Unintelligible: Generic jaguar noises. His win-quotes are readable but rendered in brackets.
Kuma II
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
The son of Heihachi's old bodyguard bear, also named Kuma. Like his father, Kuma the Second has been trained in the art of Advanced Bear Fighting; a personalized fighting style that was designed by Heihachi for use by bears. Kuma's main purpose is to defend his master from any threats. Holds a deep rivalry with Paul Phoenix. He has a crush on Xiaoyu's pet panda, Panda, but she keeps rebuffing him no matter what.
True to his purpose, Kuma accompanies Heihachi to Antarctica in order to obtain Pandora.
- Everything's Worse with Bears: Well, for his opponent anyway.
- Fartillery: Kuma's Super Art involves him slashing you, breaking your fall with his butt and farting.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: Inverted. His speech is translated to us in cutscenes. Not to the other characters.
- Only Sane Bear: Compared to Heihachi. Too bad almost no one can really hear what he's saying, and the only one who does (Heihachi) doesn't listen.
Emilie "Lili" de Rochefort
|
Debut: Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection |
|
The daughter of a wealthy Monegasque businessman, Lili learned to love fighting after an incident where she was kidnapped for ransom but managed to fight her way out. Traveling around the would to fight, Lili was later caught by her pacifist father and grounded for going against him. She now fights to prevent her father's business from going under and punish the Mishima Zaibatsu for putting him in such a harsh situation.
In order to obtain Pandora for her father, Lili requests the help of her rival, Asuka.
- Alpha Bitch - Upperclass Twit: Like a few of the other characters, her personality is far more exaggerated in this game than in her native Tekken - she's more eccentric, ditzier, and in the inter-fight cut-scenes, some of her expressions and poses veer towards the classic anime Laughing Mad aristocratic noblewoman type. In Tekken canon she is pretty stuck-up, but not necessarily to such a degree.
- Badass Boast: Before she executes her Cross Art.
|
|
- Blood Knight: This waifish-looking rich girl is borderline addicted to fighting.
- Dance Battler: She incorporates Ballet into her moveset.
- Glass Cannon: She has some excellent moves, great rushdown capabilities and does a lot of damage, but this means her health is akin to Seth.
- Hair of Gold: An Alpha Bitch, yes, but her heart's in the right place. Most of the time, anyway.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Lili seems to have a thing for doing this, like in her Tekken 5 ending. In her SfT ending, she fights with Asuka to determine which of them will claim the box for their own, despite Asuka saying constantly that she doesn't want the box. Due to their brawl, the box breaks free of the ice keeping hold of it and falls into, as Asuka puts it, a very deep hole.
- Panty Shot: Oh so many.
- Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: "Let's get beautiful!"
- She's Got Legs
- Skyward Scream: An absolutely nightmare-inducing one as she succumbs to the effects of Pandora, followed by a Primal Stance. Even more shocking because she always tries to be proper and in control.
- So Long, Suckers!: Gets a BIG one in the Asia Game Show cinematic where she leaves Asuka, Chun-Li and Cammy all in a heap whilst the Shadaloo Ship sails away with her on it. And Asuka is her partner.
- Spot of Tea: At the start of a match, she proclaims that she'll end the fight before tea time.
- Alisa's win quote against Lili has her say that she'll prepare beverages for her, presumably tea.
Craig Marduk
|
Debut: Tekken 4 |
|
The (accidental) murderer of King's mentor Armor King, Marduk is an unstoppable force whose love for battle powers him to continue his brutality. He would later befriend King and investigate behind the sudden reappearance of Armor King before the sixth tournament.
Hearing of the appearance of Armor King at the South Pole, Marduk seeks to find answers alongside King.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: His Melon Masher Super Art has him tackling then mercilessly pounding his opponent's face with his fists. Due to the graphical style of the game, this looks more vicious than it would if he was doing it in a Tekken game.
- Not Even Bothering with the Accent: He's Aussie, but as in his native series, he's voiced with an American accent.
- Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: "I'll crush ya to dust!" (at the start of the match)
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Delivered during the last hit of his Super Art:
|
Nice knowing ya! |
|
- The Unexpected: He was most likely included as a "tag along" with King, who is popular enough for the both of them.
Marshall Law
|
Debut: Tekken |
|
A chef and martial artist, Marshall Law is a frequent competitor in the King of Iron Fist Tournament scene. Having owned a dojo and a chain of Chinese restaurants, he was eventually ruined through a series of misfortunes, starting with the bankruptcy of his restaurant chain and compounded by a major freeway accident caused by his son Forrest prior to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Since then, he has been fighting to find the money to pay back the debt caused by the incident. He is both friends and rivals with Paul Phoenix and has also become friends with boxer Steve Fox.
As broke as ever, Law is still searching for his next big score when he hears of Pandora. Seeing the box itself as highly profitable, he decides to head to the South Pole. He is joined by Paul, who also looks to profit.
- Bruce Lee Clone
- Chef of Iron: A skilled (if perpetually poor) chef, plus a very good fighter.
- Greed: Taken Up to Eleven in this game.
- Kiai: As a Bruce Lee Clone, it's a must.
- Walking Shirtless Scene
Nina Williams
|
Debut: Tekken |
|
A mysterious Irish woman. Not much is known about her, other than her occupation as an assassin and her vicious, unending rivalry with her younger sister Anna. Following Tekken 2, she was placed in a cryogenic stasis for twenty years, waking up either when Ogre emerged or somewhat later; in the meantime, she was used in experiments that culminated in the birth of the young boxer Steve Fox. She had no memory of her past until Tekken 5. She currently serves as bodyguard of Mishima Zaibatsu C.E.O. Jin Kazama.
For unknown reasons, Nina offers her services in helping obtain Pandora to her former target, Kazuya.
- Author Appeal: Capcom's love for epic-sized thighs has transferred from Chun-Li over to her.
- Career Killer
- Combat Pragmatist: She has no problems holding Ryu in place as Kazuya winds himself up for an uppercut.
- She does it in the CG trailer against Ryu to allow Kazuya a shot with his laser eye. Good thing Ken threw off his aim.
- Irony: Despite being non-canon to her native series, she is nonetheless paired with Kazuya. While this is for reasons of Wolverine Publicity, her role in Tekken 6 would require her to eliminate Kazuya at the behest of her current employer (Jin Kazama, head of the Zaibatsu and opposing force to G Corporation, and Kazuya's much abused and thus heavily resentful son).
- Conservation of Ninjutsu: Implied heavily in her ending, as she reveals that someone else wants Pandora more than Kazuya. Having sensed this betrayal from the get go, Kazuya orders a small hidden squadron of G Corp soldiers to open fire. Seconds later, Nina is nowhere to be seen, and the soldiers are left beaten.
- Kiss of Death: In typical Femme Fatale fashion, she blows one to her foe at the beginning of her super.
- Oireland: Her native place, although she doesn't have the accent.
- Only in It For the Money: The reason why she's even with Kazuya in the first place.
- She's Got Legs
- Wolverine Publicity: One of the first four playable fighters revealed for SFxT, and is among the most iconic Tekken characters.
Ogre
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
Ogre is the legendary "God of Fight". No one really knows where it came from but rumors speak of its immense power in battle. Some say it is a weapon left behind by an alien race eons ago. Heihachi uncovered this being during a Tekken Force excavation project prior to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. Once unleashed into the world, numerous martial artists fell prey to it, as it seemed compelled to expand its fighting repertoire. Heihachi, knowing this, declared that he would host the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, believing that such a collection of fighters would surely bring the God of Fight to him. Ogre conceals a second form that is much more monstrous than its normal form (which resembles an Incan god). Paul Phoenix bested Ogre's normal form, but it was revived and continued to absorb other fighters' abilities until it transformed into True Ogre (its second form). After this, Jin Kazama (whose mother Jun disappeared after fighting him) engaged True Ogre in battle and defeated the being for good.
Ogre believes Pandora to be a relic from his race, so it decides to obtain it.
- Blood Knight: It feels compelled to find those with great skill in battle and defeat them.
- Fan Nickname / Just for Pun: If YouTube comments are anything to go by, due to his SFxT-model's uncanny resemblance to the boss of S.I.N., albeit with a green tint and some additional flimflam, some have taken to call him Seth Green.
- Final Boss: For Street Fighter characters.
- Mayincatec: The basis of its design.
- Your Fighting Style Is Mine/Mega Manning: Absorbs the combat skills of those it defeats in battle.
- Worthy Opponent: Played Straight and Subverted. He considers Akuma to be the only decent opponent on Earth. Akuma on the other hand has nothing but contempt for the God of Fight.
Paul Phoenix
|
Debut: Tekken |
|
A hot-headed fighter and avid biker, Paul has participated in every King of Iron Fist Tournament held to date. Always looking to prove he's the best fighter in the world, he has a rivalry with Kazuya Mishima due to their first meeting ending in a draw, and was the one of bested Ogre in a fair match, but unknown to him the god was pulling his punches by not going all out as True Ogre, which in turn was killed by Jin. He also has a rivalry with Kuma, having been bested by the bear on several occasions. He is good friends with Marshall Law, despite some friction caused by his son Forest's recklessness, and also trains with Steve Fox on the side.
Looking to score some big money, Paul sees much monetary potential in Pandora. To this end, he teams up with Law and heads for the South Pole.
- Anime Hair
- Boisterous Bruiser
- Large Ham: "I am the top fighter... IN THE UNIVERSE!!!"
- Megaton Punch: The good ol' Phoenix Smasher.
- No Indoor Voice: "PAAAAUL!!! PHOEEEEENIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!!!!"
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: "Oy, that bear is my enemy! Ya lay a hand on him and I swear I'll beat you down even harder!"
Raven
|
Debut: Tekken 5 |
|
A member of a shadowy agency, Raven was ordered to infiltrate the fifth tournament to investigate the Mishima Zaibatsu and the death of Heihachi Mishima. Now, Raven fights in the sixth tournament to defeat both Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima to end the global war.
Having been ordered by his agency to obtain Pandora, he allows Yoshimitsu to join him on the mission, but only if the eccentric ninja follows his every order.
- Darkskinned Blonde
- Flash Step: Taken to an extreme with his Super Art.
- Knife Nut
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He dislikes Yoshimitsu because he thinks Yoshi isn't a true "ninja". He agreed to go with him in the condition that everything is done Raven's way. Needless to say, that doesn't necessarily happen.
Steve Fox
|
Debut: Tekken 4 |
|
A British boxing champion and Oxford graduate. Bears a large scar on his arm that has perplexed him since as long as he can remember. Discovered he was the product of a Mishima Zaibatsu project and rejected his past, vowing to crush the Zaibatsu in order to prevent more of "his kind" from being created.[1] Is good friends with Marshall Law, Paul Phoenix and Lei Wulong.
During an official match with Hwoarang, the Mishima Zaibatsu and Shadoloo decimate the arena, effectively ending the match. Steve, logically, does NOT take well to have one of his matches interrupted, so now he looks to strike back at the warring factions alongside Hwoarang as payback for ruining their fight.
- Accidental Pervert: In his Rival Match, while trying to break up an argument between Poison and Hugo, Steve accidentally grabs her breast.
- British Accents: Of the Cockney variety, which provides good contrast with the Street Fighter team's RP-accented fellow Brits, Cammy and Dudley.
- Deadpan Snarker: He turns out to have a very dry wit.
- Extremity Extremist: Subverted in he has one regular attack (a foot stomp) that uses his feet. One of his titles "I can kick too" lampshades this.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: Staying true to his Tekken design, he uses his fists for all of his attacks bar one.
- Hair of Gold: A good-hearted blonde.
- Nice Guy: Especially compared with his Hot-Blooded partner.
- Mr. Fanservice: A very handsome and fit blond man, who fiths shirtless like near all boxers.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni - Savvy Guy, Energetic Other Guy: The Blue Oni and Savvy One
- See You in Hell: Steve belts out a variation of this ("I'll see you... in Hell!") at the end of his super, a flurry of punches ending with an impromptu Spitfire.
- Walking Shirtless Scene
- Wrestler in All of Us: Has a grab where he clinches the foe, as you would expect from a boxer. He then throws them over him much like a Belly to Belly Suplex.
Ling Xiaoyu
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
A Chinese girl who is determined to save her close friend and crush Jin Kazama from the darkness that clouds his mind and heart. The two met at the Mishima Polytechnic Academy and ever since, Xiaoyu has been trying to convince Jin to turn away from the road he has taken. She dislikes the Mishima family (even though she cares for Heihachi, who brought her to Japan), as she hates their endless struggle and the grief it has caused Jin. She has a panda named 'Panda'.
Hearing about Jin's decision to retrieve Pandora, Xiaoyu is worried to death about what might happen to him. Refusing to allow the man she loves to go alone, she accompanies him to keep him safe somehow, despite Jin trying to push her away so she'll neither get in the way, nor be harmed.
- Anime Chinese Girl
- Anti-Hero / Anti-Villain: Again, Xiaoyu isn't actually evil since she only wants to help and protect Jin. But she IS set a sub-boss with him for the SF characters and will not stop at anything when it comes to staying by Jin's side.
- Bodyguard Crush - Declaration of Protection: Towards Jin. Some of her opponents take note of her devotion and either criticize it (like Steve and King) or are sympathetic (like Ryu and Guy) in their quotes.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She will often declare to other female fighters that Jin is hers.
- Covert Pervert: See Getting Crap Past the Radar.
- Everything's Better with Sparkles: During her enhanced moves and even her Super Art!
- Genki Girl: As long as she's not moody about Jin's struggles (or feeling jealous of other girls around her), she's a pretty peppy and friendly girl.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: "Don't touch me with your grubby hands! Only Jin is allowed to do that to me!" (Even more notorious since it's Dub Text)
- "*sniff sniff* So that's how a grown up woman charms a man... I may have won the match, but I still feel defeated..."
- Girlish Pigtails
- Green-Eyed Monster: A particularly weird case comes with her alternate costume. According to the Excuse Plot blurb, Xiaoyu was extremely jealous of Chun-Li when she came to arrest Jin, and she chose to wear a derivative of her Alpha-era costume in order to prove She Is All Grown Up.
- Love Makes You Evil: To a degree. She's a co-sub-boss because she wants Jin to have Pandora at all costs, so he can heal from his Devil Gene.
- She Fu: One of the more agile characters in the game.
- Sub Boss: With Pandora Jin as Pandora Xiaoyu.
- Took a Level In Badass: If Tekken: Blood Vengeance didn't cement her status as one, the mere fact that she's now a Sub Boss should do the trick.
- Took a Level In Jerkass: She willingly takes Pandora to please Jin.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: As a Sub Boss.
|
"That's right! (Pandora) belongs to Jin! And Jin belongs to me!" |
|
Yoshimitsu
|
Debut: Tekken |
|
The latest inheritor of the title (and sword) "Yoshimitsu", a title and weapon handed down through generations of the Manji Ninja clan. Is a strong associate of Dr. Bosconovitch and a vicious rival of Bryan Fury for his indiscretion and violence towards his clan and Bosconovitch.
Yoshimitsu seeks to appease his Evil Weapon, which has been resonating with all the violence Pandora has caused. To do so, he joins Raven on his mission.
- Confusion Fu: He employs a variety of very odd tactics; teleporting, rapid spinning backhands, and even harakiri.
- Highly-Visible Ninja: Much to Raven's frustration.
- Honor Before Reason: He pulls a Leeroy Jenkins against Vega and Balrog becouse that's what warriors do apparently.
- Legacy Character: Yoshimitsu is a title, not a name, that goes back as far as the first Yoshimitsu hundreds of years earlier in Soul Calibur. This leads to something of a Mythology Gag: Yoshi's involvement in the plot is kicked off because his demonic sword tells him of great evil, something that tended to cause the original Yoshimitsu to enter plots as well.
- This also leads to a Missed Moment of Awesome, as in this game he does not share his ancestors' famous lines from Soul Calibur, such as "Shikisoku Zeku!"
- Starfish Language: Rather than speaking English, Japanese or another Earth language, he speaks some type of alien language. English-speaking people commonly confuse it for Japanese though, and the lack of an English voice option makes it seem like a case of Non Dubbed Grunts.
- Strange Syntax Speaker: The Yoda variety, of which it is.
Downloadable Content characters[2]
Alisa Bosconovitch
|
Debut: Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion |
|
Alisa Bosconovitch is an android designed by Dr. Bosconovitch in the image of his dead daughter (also named Alisa). She is used by Mishima Zaibatsu CEO Jin Kazama as a window to the outside world, allowing him to observe the ongoing war as well as keep tabs on Lars Alexandersson, leader of the Tekken Force rebellion movement. While she is well-meaning and non-violent, she obeys her programming first and foremost; still, she and Lars have grown close as a result of their shared experience. Alisa conceals a myriad of unique weapons in her body (such as chainsaws and rocket arms) as well as detachable body parts (she can use her head as a bomb, for instance).
Lars has found out about Pandora and seeks not to obtain it, but to destroy it before either the Zaibatsu or Shadaloo people use it for evil. He asks Alisa to tag along with him, and she complies.
- Chainsaw Good: Hidden in her arms
- Detachment Combat: She can do this with her head or her hands
- Ridiculously Human Robot
- Robot Girl: Think Astro Boy but female.
- Rose-Haired Girl
- Ship Tease: With her partner Lars, both here and in Tekken canon.
Bryan Fury
|
Debut: Tekken 3 |
|
Bryan Fury was once a corrupt police officer who worked alongside Lei Wulong in Hong Kong but died during a shootout. Rather than taken to be buried, Bryan's body was given to Dr. Abel, who resurrected him through cybernetic enhancements. He competed in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to help Abel gather data on Dr. Boskonovitch's research into robotics. Later on, he reaches out to Dr. Boskonovitch himself, in order to modify his body so he may live on. Despite the aid, Bryan brutalized Boskonovitch and the Manji Ninja clan that he worked with, which is how the rivalry between Bryan and Yoshimitsu came into being.
As always, Bryan looks for strong opponents and now he wants Pandora for himself. He manages to break into a G-Corps hangar and steals one of the Jacks to do so.
- Ax Crazy: Beats up pretty much anyone whenever he feels like it, whether or not they're on his side.
- Blood Knight: Many among the biggest ones in Tekken
- Evil Laugh: Now actually sounds legitimately creepier than his original Tekken 5 & 6 laughter.
- Laughing Mad: Especially during his super.
- Kick Them While They Are Down
- Slasher Smile: All the damn time.
- Suddenly Voiced: This is the first time Bryan has ever spoken full lines of dialogue. He did have lines in 5, but these weren't voiced.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: And the voices behind him are none other than Zasalamel and Johan Liebert (in English) and Domon Kasshu or Sousuke Sagara (Japanese).

Christie Monteiro
|
Debut: Tekken 4 |
|
Christie is the granddaughter of Eddy Gordo's Capoiera master. The two have become close friends because of this. She participated in the fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to find Eddy, who had said he was planning to get vengeance for his father's killer. Later on, she tries to help her grandfather, whose health had deteriorated greatly due to his years in prison.
Christie has learned that Eddy is involved in the Mishima Zaibatsu deals, so she tries to use the race for Pandora to find him. She teams up with Lei, who's investigating the Zaibatsu itself.
- Dance Battler: As a Teen Genius Capoeira practitioner.
- Does Not Like Shoes
- Foreign Fanservice: Natch, she's Brazilian.
- Kick Chick
- Nice Girl: A very sweet young woman, she sees the good in near everyone and her win quotes are almost always very friendly.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: The Energetic Girl to Lei's Savvy Guy.
Jack-X
|
Debut: Tekken |
|
The Jack-series of robots are autonomous fighting machines designed by various military technology developers. They are designed as cybernetic infantry, used for combat and high-risk situations. Throughout the Tekken series, there have been six Jack robots (in order of appearance): Prototype Jack, Jack, Jack-2, Gun Jack, Jack-5, and Jack-6. Jack robots are usually entered into the King of Iron Fist Tournament as a measure of combative prowess.
The Jack here, known as Jack-X, was stolen by Bryan Fury from under G-Corporation's noses so he can reach for Pandora and grasp it.
- The Comically Serious: Being a robot, it takes near everything around him VERY seriously and VERY literally.
- Super Prototype: Jack-X was designed to be a backup to the Jack-6 series.
- Theme Naming: Keeping the tradition of naming the current Jack with the number of the current Tekken; this crossover has no number, but it has a X, and so it was born Jack-X.
- Its Pronounced Tropay: Similarly, it is pronounced "Jack-Cross", like the game is pronounced "Street Fighter Cross Tekken".
- Top-Heavy Guy
Lars Alexandersson
|
Debut: Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion |
|
Lars is the illegitimate son of Heihachi Mishima, born to a Swedish woman. He leads a resistance squadron of Tekken Force soldiers who are revolting against their leader, his nephew Jin Kazama. Following a raid on a Zaibatsu labratory that ends in disaster, Lars loses his memory of his mission and his purpose. However, the raid awakens Alisa Bosconovitch, an android who accompanies him as he tries to recover his lost memories. Together they seek Jin and plan to end his global war.
As said above, Lars' goal in the game is to grab Pandora and destroy it before any of the corporations looking for it claims its powers. To do so, he leads a small Yggdrassil Rebel Forces squad and has Alisa as his personal partner.
- Anime Hair
- But Not Too Foreign - Mukokuseki: Half-Swedish, half Japanese - though he clearly looks Western. Understandable in Tekken terms: both Kazuya and Jin physically resemble Heihachi, so having Lars do so too would've ruined The Reveal.
- The Hero: One of the very few 100% heroic Tekken characters and the White Sheep of the Mishima clan.
- Ship Tease: Very kind and almost affectionate towards Alisa.
Lei Wulong
|
Debut: Tekken 2 |
|
In the world of law enforcement, there is none better than Lei Wulong. A legendary HK-Chinese police detective, Lei's record is unmatched. He has a firm sense of justice and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that it is served. His entry into the various King of Iron Fist Tournaments is often to pursue targets who have been difficult to reach and are drawn to the tournament for whatever reason.
This time Lei wants to investigate what exactly Pandora is, plus stop both Shadaloo and the Zaibatsu from catching it. He hears that Christie is looking for Eddy and he also wants to contact him to get info, so they team up to go to Antartica.
- Ass Kicks You
- Drunken Boxing
- Flirting Under Fire: He and Chun-Li engage a bit in this during PS Vita Episode 2. Much to Christie's surprise and Cammy's indifference.
- Hypocritical Humor: "There's a Brit and a Kenyan? That's an odd combination."
- The Inspector: And very good at it.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Took the worst beating in the Vita Episode 2 and is missing a tooth by the end. Claims it's nothing a few drinks won't solve.
- Nonchalant Dodge: To Vega in PS Vita Episode 2.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: The Savvy Guy to Christie's Energetic Girl
- Stance System
