EspañolTEKKEN
:''For the series, see Tekken (series).''
'''Tekken''' is a fighting game and first of the series of the same name. It was released at arcades in 1994 and on the PlayStation in 1995 and was later released on the PlayStation 2 as part of ''Tekken 5''
''Tekken'' is one of the earliest 3D fighting game franchises, with the first game applying many of the concepts found in ''Virtua Fighter'' by Sega.
As with many fighting games, players choose a character from a lineup, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with an opponent. It is primarily a competitive two-player series, but a human player can fight an AI-controlled character for practice or amusement.
''Tekken'' differs from other hand-to-hand fighting games in some ways. Traditional fighting games are usually played with buttons which correspond to the strength of the attack, such as strong punch or weak kick. ''Tekken'', however, dedicates a button to each limb of the fighter, making learning special attacks more of an intuitive process. The player could 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). Traditional fighting games, such as ''Street Fighter'', involve inputting commands as rapidly and accurately as possible, whereas ''Tekken'' slows the action down, emphasizing rhythm, strategy, and deception over speed.
By default, there will be two rounds of combat. However, the players have a choice from one to five rounds, as well as options for the time limit of each round. If the winning character retains all his or her health without the time having run out, the announcer will say, "Perfect!" If the winning character is near knock out, the announcer will call, "Great!" Occasionally, both characters will be knocked out simultaneously, and the announcer will call "Double K.O." If the time limit for the round expires, the character with more health will be declared the winner. If one does not exist, the round will be a draw. In most cases, the announcer will call "K.O." when one character is triumphant.
In the game, the name of the location was displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen. The locations included Angkor Wat, Szechwan, Monument Valley, Chicago, Kyoto, Fiji, Windermere, Venezia, Akropolis, King George Island, and Chiba Marine Stadium (however, in later ''Tekken'' games the location names were removed).
A worldwide martial arts tournament is nearing its final, with a large purse of prize money to the fighter who can defeat Heihachi Mishima in the final round of competition. The contest is sponsored by the giant financial group, the Mishima Zaibatsu. There are eight fighters that remain after winning death matches all over the world. The winner of the tournament will receive The King of the Iron Fist title. Only one will have a chance at defeating Heihachi and taking home the prize money and fame. The player is initially able to select one of those eight fighters at the start of the game, each one having their own personal reasons for entering the tournament aside from the prize money.
Kazuya Mishima is the main character. Heihachi's biological son, he was thrown into a ravine by his tyrannical father when he was five years old. Heihachi, believing his son was too weak to ever inherit his conglomerate, decided that if he were truly strong enough, he would be able to survive the fall and climb back up. Kazuya barely survived a fall that left him with the scar prominently visible on his chest. Fuelled by hatred for his father, he enters the tournament to exact his revenge.
Although all playable characters in ''Tekken'' have their own ending upon completion of their particular scenario, depicting events following the tournament as if they were the one victorious, it became a staple in later ''Tekken'' games of having only one character's ending as the 'true' canonical one, and the following sequel's storyline is based on what happened after that particular ending.
In the case of the first game, Kazuya was the true winner. Defeating all of the other combatants, he progressed to the final stage where he fought and defeated his father Heihachi. In an ultimate act of vengeance, Kazuya dropped Heihachi's unconscious body into the same ravine he was thrown into as a child.

On the back of the North American Tekken box in the second screenshot, another character that looks like Law named Dragon is shown fighting Jack in the Chicago level. Dragon could have been another name for Law even though this hasn't been proven.
Devil can be unlocked on the PlayStation version by completing all stages of the Galaga game, fautured during initial Tekken loading. Even after it, Devil is still an alternate costume of Kazuya, available by selecting Kazuya with the start button with no unique moves/voice of his own.
''Tekken'' was ported to the PlayStation. The PlayStation version allowed players to unlock mid boss characters when the game was beaten and had FMVs.
The PlayStation 2 release of ''Tekken 5'' featured the Arcade version of the original ''Tekken'' playable.
''Tekken'' was met with many positive reviews, with critics claiming it was a good start to the series. Its success and popularity has spawned six sequels. The ''Tekken'' games have been highly popular with the martial arts community due to moves of the fighters being close to the actual style of fighting.
Tekken was the first PlayStation game to sell over a million units.[1]
