However, Nina failed when she was defeated by her sister, Anna. Nina Williams had been hired during the tournament to assassinate Heihachi. 21 years later, Heihachi decides to test his son's strength and worth and announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Over the years, Kazuya travels around the world and competes in martial arts competitions, becoming an undefeated champion, with the only blemish on his record being a draw against Paul Phoenix, an American martial artist who seeks to settle the score with him. To further motivate Kazuya, Heihachi adopts the Chinese orphan Lee Chaolan and raises him as a rival to his true son, who he felt was too weak to lead his Mishima Zaibatsu company. Driven by his thirst for revenge, he climbs up the mountainside. Kazuya survives the initial fall, but left a large scar on his chest which causes a demonic entity within him, called the Devil Gene, to activate, offering Kazuya the opportunity to gain immense strength and power. When Kazuya Mishima was five years old, his father Heihachi Mishima carried him to the top of a mountain and threw him off a cliff to test his son's strength, whether he is fit to lead the Mishima Zaibatsu, the family business, and to see if he will be able to climb back up the same cliff. ^b Home version exclusive and unlockable and palette swap Plot ^a Unlockable character in home version, unplayable in arcade version In addition, unlike most fighting games of the period, the locations are not linked to a specific character, being randomised during gameplay with no ability for players to select a stage in Vs mode. The locations are representations of real places and included Acropolis, Angkor Wat, Chicago, Fiji, King George Island, Kyoto, Marine Stadium, Monument Valley, Szechwan, Venezia, and Windermere. The name of the location is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen. If the time limit for the round expires, the character with more health remaining will be declared the winner if one does not exist, the round will be a draw. However, the players have a choice from one to five rounds, as well as options for the time limit of each round. By default, there are two rounds of combat. The player can watch the animation on screen and figure out the appropriate command (if the character kicks low with their right leg, the move is likely to be executed by pressing down and right kick or a similar variation).

Tekken allows the player to control each of the fighter's four limbs independently. Players choose a character from a lineup and engage in hand-to-hand combat with an opponent. It is the first entry in the Tekken series, with a sequel, Tekken 2, being released in 1995. It was originally released for arcades in 1994, and ported to the PlayStation a year later.


Tekken ( 鉄拳) is a fighting game developed and published by Namco.
