      This actually feels more like a father/son cycle of revenge within the Mishima household (starting with Jinpachi being deposed by Heihachi), with both the Hachijou and the Kazama matrilineal bloodlines creating complications for this cycle of revenge.
      Let's not forget also that there have already been two wars in Tekken 6 and 7.

    I haven't played Tekken since Tekken 3 in the arcades but after watching this I am back on the train. This was incredible.

      You’ve been missing out dude. Tekken hasn’t stopped being phenomenal. They’ve just gotten better and better every iteration. Easily one of the most consistent fighters out there.

      Me too, got kinda interested now that some lead dev pissed off the woke crowd. Checked out Tekken 7 and the controls feel pretty natural.

      I can recommend those fighting art like videos, where people make the fights beautiful with perfect parrying

      I Suggest you watch the video titled "The Insane Lore Of Tekken" one of the best videos that explains the main lore of tekken exceptionally well

    Aside from not mentioning Kazuya's T2 death & T4 resurrection, and the stuff of T4, T5 and T6, this is a pretty simple and to the point summary of the main story. They even seemed to be in on the joke of the ridiculousness of it with Brian Cox talking matter-of-factly the Mishima tradition of Patricidal cliff tossing.

    Much appreciated. Brian Cox’s narration captured the essence of Tekken perfectly. A serious vendetta between fathers and sons with a pinch of comedy here and there.

    What an epic move by the Tekken Team to get a legend such as Brian Cox to not just show up, but commit and drop a fantastic recap. Bravo!
