The worst part about modern Tekken is the way they completely ignore side stories. If you’re not a Mishima you’re not in the main story, and now if you’re not in the main story you have no story.

One of the main reasons for King II to enter the tournaments since T3 was to get money for the orphans, but big dawg didn't blink twice bailing Marduk out of jail for manslaughter and getting him a flight ticket for the tournament in 4🤣

So King's backstory is basically the plot of Nacho Libre

King was the first ever character I've played as in any Tekken game.

I love King.
That's it, that's the comment.

next Marshall Law

4:36 this sentence confused the voila out of me 😭

Did king just freaking block from behind wtf

I hate how King is now buddy buddy with Marduk. I get forgiving the man for what he's done. But to then become best buds with the guy? Get that shit outta here.

In the tekken anime that takes place through tekken 3, Its shown that armor king climbs to the top and makes it to the finals. He is beaten by Jin kazama at the end. Yet Jin heard about Kings motives for being in the tournament and decides to give him the 1st place price money for the orphanage.

Wears a jaguar mask AND a tail. True dedication.

Your good at exploring tekken lore… I look forward to even more

he may not be the main character of the story or even contribute 0 to the story. but king will always be my favorite character of the series. iconic look, good backstory (inspired by a real life priest btw) and has a cool rival in armor king.

also next vid do one of paul phoenix. his dropoff is insane 😢 man went from a rival to kazuya and potential hero of the stories to a goofball. yes every ending of him is kinda joke also with kuma being the rival but if you know lore paul had some crazy feats.
before tekken 1 fighting kazuya to a draw in a tourney. then in tekken 1 beating a kung fu grizzly bear and fighting kazuya again for hours before losing.
tekken 2 again getting to the finals but hear this got stuck in trafffic like c'mon.
tekken 3 beating ogre but leaving to  soon to see true ogre who was then beaten by jin (for this reason jin won the tourney).
after tekken 4 complete goofball with 0 feats and lowered to pure comic relief.

I wouldn’t be against one for armour king as well… just to see  his story post tekken 7

I love these vidss!!

I think it’s confirmed that Marduk is returning to T8. In armor king’s trailer, he speaks about taking his revenge and king tries to stop him. It would make no sense if Marduk doesn’t return because then armor king wouldn’t try to enact his revenge

It's almost like they had to twist themselves into pretzels to make King even appear in the story missions for Tekken 8.  I mean, he's there to get the money for his orphanage, which is overwhelmed because of the G-Corp war stuff.  Otherwise, he really doesn't have anything to do with the Mishima storyline.  I just absolutely LOOOOOOVE how they made him look in Tekken 8, which is why it's the first game of the series that I have played.  Now with Armor King returning, I hope King will have some more relevance.  They will have to release Marduk next season.  Otherwise, there is really no revenge story for Armor King.

6:50 😂😂😂😂😂

King is based off a legendary wrestler in real life, it’s like saying Law is useless in the series but he’s a fictional version of Bruce Lee.
