Armor King is slower, while King is a lot faster and uses more modern, flashier attacks to win. King and Armor King are great examples and in theory they should be similar and yet they have different movesets and a different feel due to their speed. It also had the greatest roster size on the market and each character felt different outside of palette swaps. The mainline Tekken 3 experience was the most polished fighter Namco offered to this point and had smoother controls than either prior entry. Tekken 3 on the PS1 marked the debut of Tekken Force mode - the side-scrolling beat-em-up mode alongside the debut of Tekken Ball, a volleyball mode that stood out in its time and still does today. The development team went with smart cutbacks visually in order to ensure that the game was beyond arcade-complete in terms of features. Given that it was working off of native arcade hardware that was above what the console could do, Namco had to fine-tune the port and in doing so, created something that remains a benchmark for properly scaling a game to fit the hardware over twnety years later. Namco went in the complete opposite direction whenever possible by offering up a ton of extras over time, and Tekken 3 really got that ball rolling with a landmark PS1 release.

The franchises went back and forth with Sega offering up impressive home ports of VF 2 on the Saturn and VF 3 on the Dreamcast, but largely doing arcade-based ports without a lot extra content. Its four-limb control setup was unlike anything on the market and made it easy to pick up and play, and its graphics were top-notch until Virtua Fighter 2 hit and raised the bar.

Tekken 4 was a divisive, but fantastic entry in the series. You’ll see both good and bad souls unearthed every month as we search through the more… forgotten…parts of history.
