![]() ![]() As a secondary Xiaoyu, Miharu doesn’t add much. Okay, there is that one move where she does a selfie with her opponent right before they collapse to the ground. Just goes to show that nobody in Tekkenis 100% crap. Jack is great because he’s the Judgment Day T-800 mixed with the Iron Giant. He’s a drone that broke away from what he was created to be. So when you look at Prototype Jack, you’re left with Jack without any of the substance. His defining characteristic is that he’s shoddy and falls apart. That said, his metallic Clark Still appearance is totally sweet. ANGEL First appearance: Tekken 2Īngel is one of those characters whose origins and identity are supposed to be all mysterious, but she doesn’t do enough to make that mystery worth caring about. She starts off in Tekken 2 as Devil’s alternate outfit, which fittingly makes her the final boss if you play as Devil. She exists for the sake of attempting to draw out the goodness in Kazuya, but isn’t actually part of him (unlike Devil). Maybe she helped him chill out enough during that tournament to romance Jun Kazama and create Jin as some kind of prophecized “chosen one” thing? Who knows? After the game, she falls into obscurity and only shows up in the non-canon Taggames. Her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 update did at least add a little personality, and that’s a plus. Namely that Angel has a sinister and violent streak barely buried under her righteous demeanor. The current title, Tekken 7, includes a roster of 52 fighters. That face she makes at Ogre during the Tag 2 intro sure is something. First released to arcades in 1994, Bandai Namco's Tekken began a long lineage of games. Listen, the most entertaining thing Michelle Chang’s ever done is throw a tomahawk at Heihachi in the Tekkenanime, and it was only entertaining because Heihachi caught and shattered it with his teeth. When it comes to the original core cast, Michelle’s just so forgettable. However, it would be strange to omit a long-standing fan favorite from the series even if he is canonically deceased. After all, Heichachi dies at the end of Tekken 7 in his battle against Kazuya. Of those 26, only Heihachi may be a possible omission from Tekken 8. She has so little personality that her endings are a cure for insomnia. Of the 36 characters in the base roster, 26 are returning characters. The first Tekken Tag Tournament is a cavalcade of lame, 20-second endings and Michelle’s was probably the absolute worst, showing nothing more than she and Julia sitting down on a grassy hill and having a conversation that we can’t hear a word of because the only audio is from the stock ending music. Her saving grace is her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending. Michelle and Julia become a mother/daughter luchadora tag team. It goes with her use of the Perfect Plex, I guess. ![]() When Namco introduced Siegfried into Soul Edge, they gave a white bread warrior a backstory about accidentally murdering his father in battle and turned it into one of the series’ best character arcs. Tekken 5 is credited for taking the series back to its roots. They even got an iconic villain design out of it. The main menu of Tekken 5 on PlayStation 2, whicah had BGM for the first time. That makes it all the more depressing that Baek, vanilla Tae Kwon Do practitioner, has the same starting point and simply exists. ![]()
