Tekken 4 characters series#
It’s amazing how well a concept holds up when it’s executed just about perfectly and as someone who enjoyed both the Virtua Fighter and Tekken franchises, Tekken 4 has remained one of the most replayable entries in either series to just pick up and play for a while. As a result, it has aged remarkably well across the board for an eighteen-year-old game. Tekken 4 offers up a level of gameplay depth that wasn’t seen before in the series and hasn’t been seen since. Every new element brings with it more strategy than what had been seen before, or since in some ways since this was the only time the Tekken series went with this level of environmental interactivity. It adds a new element of fun to the action and being able to have a desperation attack to help escape wall juggles ensures that the only way you’ll get beaten down is by avoiding that tactic. Similarly, sloped environments were something that changed strategy up in Virtua Fighter 3, and were taken to a new level here with more kinds of environments to fight in and the ability to wall juggle in that mix as well. Playing as a fast-striking character like the debuting Marduk and juggling foes against walls added a thrill to the combat that wasn’t there before. Being able to use the environment as a tool to win is something that has made this the most divisive mainline entry in the series - but also allowed it to stand out the most too. The fourth game kept the combos intact, increased the pace of the combat, and added the ability to move more freely around the in-game world and send your foe into objects to deal out more damage. The first game may have been iffy graphically in hindsight, but having fights take place in real-world locations and areas that players could relate to like a baseball stadium helped add to the realism of a game with a fighting robot and giant demons in later entries. One thing that allowed Tekken to shine early on wasn’t just its deep combo system, but also its usage of more real-world areas. Its sequel tried more new things, however, and has wound up less-remembered despite being a great game in its own right. The first entry was a solid foundation, while the second nicely improved upon it and the third wound up being one of the best fighting games of all-time and a definitive release for the PS1. With a diverse roster of humans, demons, robots and even a guest-starring dinosaur alongside a boxing kangaroo, the series went for a broad approach when it came to its roster compared to other fighters. The mid-’90s saw a rise in polygonal fighters after the debut of Virtua Fighter in ’93, but no series in that era did more to raise the bar visually while also adding to the lore of its world quite like Tekken.
