Hmm, animals that talk, wooden dolls that are magically alive, robots, ancient god of war, some other ancient god monster, men catching bullets with teeth, ninjas with magical stick feet riding on the underside of jets while standing and a devil that for some reason has to manifest itself genetically despite other such beings just appear.


Yeah, great story.

 You just listed things you dislike about the characters, not the story. Second of all...haven't you ever watched anime?

Having watched anime doesn't qualify Tekken for a good story. Any story that involves a fighting tournament to avoid *insert catastrophe of choice* is just poor.

It worked for me in Dragonball because I was a kid, it doesn't work now.

You missed his point. His complaints are about the characters, and these characters would be perfectly fine in an Anime.

 

The Tekken anime movie was crap too. Even if it wasn't what works in anime does not work in live action film 90% of the time.

 

Also no, what I stated was an image of the world of Tekken, not the characters specifically.

The Tekken anime was crap, but i came out at the time where the video game didn't reveal much about the story. More and more cinematics fleshed out what the storyline was about after Tekken 3 and ever since them has had a linked storyline all the way up to 6 which makes a whole lot of sense. The videogame even shows you a storyline webbing from all Tekkens for those who've missed the Tekken games. Tekken might not have the strongest story ever (of course not), but it's hard to argue that it doesn't have best fighting game story ever. Second of all Japanese anime taught me to stretch the limitation of thought to reap the extreme benefits and meaning in a cartoon. Western cartoons never taught me this. This is why I never had a problem with the characters. Some are joke characters and some are for real like king. What you stated had nothing to do with the world of Tekken, but you described the outrageous design, talents and habits of specific characters. I've always said CGI would be best.
