1.
Rich man hates son, throws him off a cliff, hosts tournament because he likes to fight. Son lives, grows up, joins that year's tournament, beats dad, finds out the business is selling weapons, throws dad off same cliff, takes business.
2.
Rich man lives, Son host tournament because bored and he is now part devil part angel. He bangs one of the fighters and she gets preggers. Dad wins tournament, throws son into volcano.
3.
Years pass, Son has a son. Granddad host tournament, son is still dead, Son's son mom is missing. Granddad revives demon as weapon. Grandson kills demon, goes home.
4. Son is back. Controls competing company to Granddad. Son's Son caught in middle of bullshit
5-7.
Family fights, some shit about the Devil gene. Grandma is powerful but pacifist. Great Granddad is alive because reasons. Mom might be alive and a monster.

A volcano is involved somewhere though right

Heihachi throws Kazuya into a volcano and the end of tekken 2 so yeah
uh are you thinking the Tag Tournament are cannon? cause they are not
Lol that cracked me up good. You done good Tekken.
Yes he did. As he will in Tekken 8.
Kuma is Heihachi's body guard. He was found by Heihachi as a cub. He is also a member of the Tekken Force.
Panda is Xiaoyu's pet, and her bodyguard. Kuma loves Panda but Panda hates Kuma.
The naruto dude already designed an outfit for lars in 6, and kazumi litterally looks like that woman from the end of naruto. Someone on tekken staff likes naruto , and some visual changes to ibuki, someone on the sf staff also likes naruto. Tekken has a lot of anime inspirations too, like kazuya is literally just vegeta devil man.
Its just when tekken has a visual reference to something, they just keep their mouths shut.
" Why is leo just rock howard"
" don't worry about it"
" why does cladio have a bunch of SNK moves"
" don't worry about it"
" Why does raven look like wesley snipes"
" Don't worry about it"
I think the opposite.
Nah.
He might be Jokered into the story though. Flash backs n stuff. Or he'll just show up in tekken tag as a new member of the tekken " death" council
What's to explain, they're a bear and a panda. One enjoys bamboo, the other runs heihachi's company
All I know is that when it comes to Tekken, all family Squabbles either end when someone getting thrown off a cliff or end with an explosion.
I'm just waiting for Tekken 8 to find out that
I'm just waiting for Tekken 8 to find out that
Heihachi can swim in lava and will be back in the sequel where he will throw his son into the Lava next.

the bear name is Kuma and he is Heihachi pet/bodyguard and he trained him in karate and is part of the Tekken force, Panda is Ling Xiaoyu pet/bodyguard who was also trained by Heihachi
also Kuma has a thing for Panda but Panda doesn't like Kuma
oh and there were two Kumas, Kuma I was in Tekken 1 and 2 while Kuma II is in every other game
There are two bears (named Kuma). Kuma 1 was raised by Heihachi. Heihachi treats him better than his own son. Kuma 1 dies of old age after Tekken 2. Kuma 2 is his child, same deal with Heihachi, trains it, etc. Panda is Xiaoyu's pet. Kuma 2 wants to bang Panda but it never happens AFAIK.

Still baffle me that they decide to make Steve Fox her son.
They can't make regular boxer for character setting. Nope. The boxer gotta be the result of impregnating an assassin who's currently undergoing cryogenic sleep. Which make Nina biologically body 22 y.o while being 44 y.o and her son is 21 y.o... yeah, crazy
With as many times as Heihachi supposedly died just in Tekken 7 I'm surprised you're so confident. We didn't see his body fall into the lava at the end when Kazuya drops him, either. At this point unless he has his head cut off I will never believe he's actually dead.
I started watching these the other night. Just the first three, really.
They're not very well explained. Quite honestly, if I didn't already know what was going on, my reaction to them would be "who is that? wtf just happened?" over and over again.
I think he also has a rival named Dr. Abel. This is the crazy evil scientist that often tries to destroy Jack in various endings from a laser-equipped space satellite. Not sure where else he fits in.
Yea, they aren't really great. These summaries were initially in T6 as one video. It mostly served to setup the framework for T6's ridiculous plotline more than provide an overarching lore summary. Still gives the general gist, but it leave you with just as many if not more questions.
Granted, part of the fun for the endings was always piecing together scraps of nonsense using imagination and guesswork.

Tekken 3:
Xiaoyu wants to go to the themepark with her pet panda, but Heihachi doesn't like that since its his themepark.
Yoshimitsu cannot afford health care, so he asks Dr. B a retired herbal medicine quack to perform surgery. The surgery goes wrong and Yoshimitsu ends up as a Cyborg butterfly in Tekken 4.
Bryan: is a cop who is mad at the the same Doctor because his pension is lousy.
Gon: is a rejected digimon character who is mad at the doctor for being created. "I didn't ask for this".
Law is best buddies with Paul, but his father doesnt want him to enter tournaments so it's hush-hush
Eddy: Nobody cares why Eddy is in the tournament, because you're a fucking hack if you use eddy. button mashing cheater!
Julia is mad because Heihachia took her jewelry so she entered the tournament to show her whose boss
Nina and Anna are sisters who are angry about something nobody knows why.
Gun Jack is a cyborg with an outdated OS who is sad that he is no longer relevant and decides to throw a hissyfit.
King is a rejected wrestler with a furry addiction who likes to save kids in backyard allys while oiled and half naked
Kuma is a bear trained in martial arts by Heihachi who wants to fight for no good reason
Hworang has a inferiority complex over Jin, because his hair is less "sasuske" than his. he also wantted to avenge his master or something like that.
Mokujin: Heihachis wooden real doll that comes to fight in the tournament.
The raptor and kangaroo: more of the doctors crazy experiments.
Tekken 3 had one of the best stories of all time. The writers must have done some epic meth to get the inspiration for it.

The first Roger was created by Dr. B, as was Alex, at the request of Kazuya who was interested in an army of fighting animals. Roger was then trained by Armor King, for reasons.
In Tekken 5, Roger was kidnapped and Roger Jr (his kid, still in the pouch) and his mother went to find him. Roger Jr has been in every Tekken since then (except 7 so far). They find Roger, who is just chilling enjoying his life without the old ball and chain.

OMG I would love nothing more than to get into painstaking detail about the Tekken story as I have the bulk of it committed to memory but I'm unfortunately at work so I cannot commit that kind of time to this. lol

Roger and Alex were both creations of doctor Bosconovitch (who was working for Kazuya at the time) and were made to fight
they both got some lessens from Armor King about wrestling after being thrown out by Kazuya so that they could enter second Iron Fist Tournament
during said tournament they encounted Jun Kazama and Jun had them moved to Australia so they could live out there lifes
fast forward to tekken 5 and Roger gets kidnapped and his son and mate enter the Tournament to find him

It's basically Beowulf with yakuza illuminati bloodsport in it instead of vikings.
Guys there's the official retro recap, and it's hilarious too!

Let's see... What you need to know:
- The Mishima family is important and have a business
- Jinpachi Mishima was the boss of the Mishima Industries, but Heihachi, his son, imprisions him under Hon-maru and becomes the new leader
- Heihachi Mishima is married to Kazumi Mishima, they have a son, Kazuya
- Kazumi Mishima dies under strange circumstances
- Kazuya, at the age of 5, is thrown into a cliff by Heihachi
- Years later, Heihachi organizes "The King of Iron Fist Tournament". The final match is between him and Kazuya. Kazuya wins, throwing Heihachi off a cliff in revenge.
- Kazuya is now the new boss of the Mishima Zaibatsu, organizes the seond tournament
- Kazuya meets Jun Kazama during the tournament, and they make out
- Kazuya, who actually is "possesed" by a Devil, fights against Heihachi in the final round. Heihachi wins, and throws Kazuya into a volcano
- Jun Kazama was pregnant!
- 20 years pass, Jun dies supposedly at the hands of Ogre. Jin Kazama (Kazuya and Jun's son) meets Heihachi, his grandfather, as Jun asks him to in case something ever happened to her.
- The third tournament starts, goal is to defeat Ogre.
- Jin defeats True Ogre (his true form), and shit goes down.
- A short time later, Heihachi discovers Kazuya is alive. And he's taking everything back.
- It is revealed Kazuya's devil is actually there because of the Devil Gene. That's why Jin has it too. Heihachi doesn't have it.
- The tournament goes on. Heihachi abducts Jin and tries to do so with Kazuya at Hon-Maru. Shit goes down again.
- G-Corporation attacks Hon-Maru with Jack 4 right after Tekken 4 takes place
- Jinpachi Mishima, who is possesed by an evil spirit (doesn't have the Devil gene, confirmed by Harada) is head of the Zaibatsu and organizes the 5th tournament.
- Jin wins and becomes new Zaibatsu head
- Jin (Mishima Zaibatsu) and Kazuya (G-Corporation) start a war that engulfs the world in darkness. This is because Jin wants to resurrect Azazel, to defeat him and be free of the Devil Gene. Or so he thinks.
- Lars, doubting Jin's actions, rebels alongside a good chunk of the Mishima's Zaibatsu military force, the Tekken Force
- The rest is explained in Tekken 7's prologue. Here's the last tibdits of info for what you need to know.
Why would King 2 even team up with Marduk? And Tekken is 1v1 anyway, why the fuck would he even need a partner
Good summary.
All I know is I've enjoyed the crazy story of Tekken than something like Street Fighter. The character endings in some of these games are hilarious.
For Tekken Tag!
