Summary

Tekken is a fighting game and the first entry in what would become the Tekken series and franchise. It was one of the earliest 3D-animated fighting games, incorporating many of the concepts from Sega's Virtua Fighter. Unlike traditional fighting games that require inputting commands as rapidly and accurately as possible, Tekken slows the action down by emphasizing rhythm, strategy, and deception over speed.

Storyline

A worldwide martial arts tournament is nearing its finale, with a large purse of prize money awarded to the fighter who can defeat Heihachi Mishima in the final round of the competition. The giant financial group, the Mishima Zaibatsu, sponsors the contest. Eight fighters remain after winning death matches all over the world, with the winner of the tournament receiving the King of the Iron Fist title. Only one will have the chance to defeat Heihachi and take home the prize money and fame. The player can initially select one of those eight fighters, each with their own reasons for entering the tournament aside from the prize money.
