@@Hugsloth Ikr that’s the perfect example we’re not yet ready for an old Leon. The remakes helped give them filler injections so they could be in their prime for longer. Ngl it’s cool af that the characters age in real time. All of the games have the same dates as real life unless they are prequels but no one really cares about seeing old characters yet. Mario has existed for years but he’s still the same.
My coworker has been explaining Tekken to me for the last couple months. It’s all over my head but I get a huge kick out of him explaining the T8 character trailers to me. I’ve never seen a person so excited to see a man who owns a pitbull before. Thanks Owen
My favourite insane part of Tekken lore is Paul and Kuma have a generational rivalry and continuously fight each other in the earlier rounds of the KOIF tournaments - even after Kuma dies of old age and his son takes over the name, he still continues to want to stick his thumb in Paul's eyes.
Great to see King included in this. As a member of the King Kommunity (We aren't stealing Mortal Kombat's idea) I think you should make another video chronicling the life and times of King and Armor King detailing all the wacky highjinx they get up to, like death.
Apparently the King that interacted with the live action children died between 2 and 3, and the current King was one of those live action children grown up. Don't know if that was said already
Yeah, King's background and story is basically copied from the Tigermask manga/anime, Tigermask was so successful that it later became a real life pro-wrestling gimmick in Japan.
It is absolutely tragic to see how bad wikis have become under the Fandom banner. Even if you have a strong adblocker, the site itself spams incessant popups to 'engage' with the website or click here or there. Or you just straight up get an UNRELATED VIDEO marketing an upcoming piece of media headlining the page no matter what it is-- and it even replaces the thumbnails in search results!
If there's anything I've learned from the Infinite Review, it's that Jin just needs to kill 149 more Azazels and the whole "killed billions in a forever war" thing is water under the bridge.
Walk into this expecting something extremely informative an educational and ended up walking away having seen the funniest video I'll probably have seen this week. Extra win!
I first played Tekken 4, got really into it but I didn't understand the story. Here I am years later rediscovering it. I love the story, is so stupid, so weird... But so good at the same time 🤣 This was a great explanation
My favourite reviewer, reviewing my favourite game series, which involves my favourite passtime of throwing people off cliffs. I doesn't get any better than this.
According to one of the manuals Nina's da was in the ira and her son Steve Fox, is adorned in a big union jack as his default costume, such cruel irony.
I was given a special edition of one of these with a huge figure of two of the dads hitting each other. I never bothered opening it as the game was on game pass, and so I use it as a bedside table. Thanks for giving it some context.
I love Paul's official track record; Pre-Tekken 1: Fights Kazuya to a draw Tekken 1: Beats Kuma, Lost to Kauya but it's implied that was a semifinal match Tekken 2: Beats Kuma, is set to face Kazuya again but gets stuck in traffic, misses the match and is DQed Tekken 3: Beats everybody else up to the finals, beats Ogre, leaves. Jin then steals the win Tekken 4: LOSES TO KUMA II Tekken 5: Beats Kuma II but the forfiets due to injuries gained from fighting a bear as a 48 year old Tekken 6: No recorded wins in this one but it was happening during a war and was cancelled, so... Tekken 7: Beats Panda. We don't know who else he beat or how far he got we do know he recieved a small share of prize money so probably quite high
Not even remotely interested in Tekken as a series, but your commentary is excellent and now I know its plot despite never even touching any of the games.
this is hella funny , entertaining and very factual . if i did this video i would have said everything the way you said it . this game story is definitely complicated asf 😅
"All-round bad bastard science" Won a subscriber with that one simple turn of phrase, fair play to ye 🤣 Edit: ok a number of turns of phrase. Personal favourites are "knocking back a pint of white rhino tears" and "his home burnt to the ground by a chip pan fire that Ogre started". Class stuff. Bualadh bos.

Tekken is like the fever dream of a pubescent teen with no friends and an abusive family. There so much random shit going on, it's both amazing and cool, yet confusing as fuck and makes no sense. That's why it's an amazing game...plus the dinosaurs, robots, sexy women, and leopard guy are cool.
A friend asked me to describe Tekken in five words or less and I said, "Just the worst dads."
Worst dads? If you're not lobbing your children off cliffs can you even call yourself a parent?
"mutual throwing off cliffs competition"
@jsh020 I mean it's never killed anyone in tekken before lol
@Razie1201 well heihachi died
@@Specialk1982 Until Tekken 9 brings him back.
Hell, or T8's season 2 DLC
I had no idea that the last four mainline Tekken games took place in the same canonical calendar year. The world of Tekken is absolutely jam packed.

And people say the story doesn't matter in fighting games.

Leaned it in the bloodline anime
Tekken 8 must make Hwoarang's lust for Jin canon

I think that if you turn off the scripts on fandom, it works like a proper website and not a catastrofuck.

I feel like Tekken somehow owns how insane the lore is
I first played Tekken 4, got really into it but I didn't understand the story. Here I am years later rediscovering it. I love the story, is so stupid, so weird... But so good at the same time 🤣
This was a great explanation
Was very grateful that you kept the Jin/Jun recap grounded by including Al Pacino in the shot.
We finally get the real story of how Kuma saved the world
Thank you 🙏
thank you. I will definitely remember any of this in 5 hours
Dear newcomers to the Tekken franchise,
This is all the guide you need for its story. really.
Sincerely,
a Tekken story aficionado
This is simultaneously super cool and makes me want to get into Tekken but also like holy shit this has so many plotholes and fickle writing decisions
Nice, cause there's this 1:30 hour video and I had hoped it wouldn't be necessary to watch it all
My favourite reviewer, reviewing my favourite game series, which involves my favourite passtime of throwing people off cliffs. I doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you for sharing the story with us in detail 🙂👍 must of took hours of gaming & researching, thank you for the hard work 👍
Thank you for this video of The Complete Storyline of Tekken (So Far).
The Infinite Review has got to have the most clever comments section on this site.
Best Infinite Review in years
Finally it all makes sense, been wondering ever since tekken tag 2
Great video, very witty and informative.
Amazing japanese storyline.
Wondering if kazuya gonna die again
Goddamn man, best story recap I've seen in any game I like your touch of humor you put in. I laughed.
According to one of the manuals Nina's da was in the ira and her son Steve Fox, is adorned in a big union jack as his default costume, such cruel irony.
This is the most brilliant and hilarious although super accurate video on the Tekken lore !!

Gas video , fellow Irishman , remember getting Tekken 3 from Christmas a few years ago
This was hilarious. Subbed.
I love the narration laughed so hard the whole time haha
The “… no stranger to counters” line is gold
I think this is gonna blow up
The commentary here was absolutely hilarious!! 😂😂
Best of the Tekken lore videos on CZcams. Thanks for not being cringe.
Alright this video's pretty top. Very solid gags all over. Got some good giggles out of me.
LOL I love this. Thanks for the research and story.
Looking forward to the "explained" video to this explanation video.
cool that the URL ends in "WHY"
another BANGER video
i wish you would just do these for other games as well it’s so enjoyable
I love Paul's official track record;
Pre-Tekken 1: Fights Kazuya to a draw
Tekken 1: Beats Kuma, Lost to Kauya but it's implied that was a semifinal match
Tekken 2: Beats Kuma, is set to face Kazuya again but gets stuck in traffic, misses the match and is DQed
Tekken 3: Beats everybody else up to the finals, beats Ogre, leaves. Jin then steals the win
Tekken 4: LOSES TO KUMA II
Tekken 5: Beats Kuma II but the forfiets due to injuries gained from fighting a bear as a 48 year old
Tekken 6: No recorded wins in this one but it was happening during a war and was cancelled, so...
Tekken 7: Beats Panda. We don't know who else he beat or how far he got we do know he recieved a small share of prize money so probably quite high
Not even remotely interested in Tekken as a series, but your commentary is excellent and now I know its plot despite never even touching any of the games.
The thumbnail is a work of art
This synopsis is hilarious. 10/10
need a summary of Dead or Alive next.
this is hella funny , entertaining and very factual . if i did this video i would have said everything the way you said it . this game story is definitely complicated asf 😅
This is truly a lord of the rings 3 moment
Thank you
The Fandom joke was one of your best ever.
This video is legendary
Its great to be INFORMED about the tekken LORE!
Good Stuff!
I am using revedgy from now on to enhance and uplift my daily life.
The Nina Williams bit fucking GOT ME GOOD.
I’d forgotten just how hilarious Tekken lore is
I just got into Tekken this year and I've gotta say this was really incredibly helpful.
Topical, informative, humorous, and screwed by the algorithm haha😂
This is e3 will be amazing
this is so underrated
Apparently the William sisters are Irish, never brought up in the story though
Finally the countdown is relevant.
You forgot that Yoshimitsu makes it canon that the Soul Calibur series is the same shared universe

7:05 Some men are dead
9:15 Queen Elisabeth is dead
9:37 Heihachi Mishima is dead
11:23 Jinpachi Mishima is dead
Couldn’t remember what happened during 7 so I’m glad to see this 🤣
“Is dead” 😂
Both the volcano and jun errupt in their own unique ways as jin enters the world 😂
don't know why it never occurred to me until seeing this video that tekken has a plot
Don’t know anything about tekken, so finishing this whole video I still have no idea why Nina taking her sister’s shoe was so important 😭
comment for the algorithm
Tekken is a laugh and a half and I love it for it.
I wonder if Jin, Kazuya or Heihachi will die in Tekken 8
I need a full 8 hours.
Tekken is like the fever dream of a pubescent teen with no friends and an abusive family.
There so much random shit going on, it's both amazing and cool, yet confusing as fuck and makes no sense.
That's why it's an amazing game...plus the dinosaurs, robots, sexy women, and leopard guy are cool.
And that makes 5 deaths so far goddamn heihachi you’re a tough cookie!
I hope Owen gets to go All In
Jimmy Bennett for president of the Zaibatsu in Tekken 8
Ive not played since the PlayStation 1 so this is helpful 😂
I just wanted to say thank you for a good amount of laughs I was fucking weezing by the end of it.
20:17 Wait, are those...Anna's shoes?!
Nina Williams is from Kerry apparently, former rose of Tralee.
But what would you rate the Tekken Lore out of 10? Each individual piece of Tekken media? Each character in Tekken? WE SIMPLY MUST KNOW OWEN
Alright but did anyone ask yoshimitsu his opinion on the war? I feel like he'd have a lot to say.
"Because I was waiting for you to get stronger"
You'll be telling me quake has a story line next
Love to hear you explain metal gear solid. Yes I am back with another comment because dammit I love this video. 🤣
I hope that Claudio senses John Yakuza
I'm Tekken deez nuts
16:51 when I’m balding, I’m gonna do my hair like this
Damn, the stories like all over the place
"Reveal she does have anna shoe this will be important later" IMPORTANT TO WHAT
The QEII is dead joke made me giggle
QEII?
I didn't play Tekken since the third episode, tried the demo of 8, was like "wait why Jin and Kazuya are fighting ?" and now I understand...
kinda
Were the shoes important? Did i miss that part?
basically just affirming that nina is a stone cold bitch, but so is anna, and it becomes a sort of ever-escalating competitive hatred of each other.
Jin sure didn't. He was waiting for those to come off, alright
I haven’t played this since taken 2! What happened to Law?
