Here’s the timeline and stories of the Tekken games, explained.

This entry took everything to another level, including how powerful characters can get.

Hes been shown completing extraordinary feats of strength despite not having the boost in abilities like the Mishima clan.

Devil Kazuya (Tekken 2), Jin (Tekken 5), Heihachi (Tekken 7), and Reina (Tekken 8)

Regardless, hes made good use of his sword and survived every tournament.

He might not be in the elite level, but hes very close to it.

However, Kuma does have a victory over Paul, meaning hes right up the ranks as well.

Its only his comedic role thats denied him from cementing his place in the big leagues.

These characters have long since been dead in the Tekken universe, and yet they’re still kicking about.

Just imagine how unbeatable a young Wang Jinrei wouldve been.

As far as feats go, hes only ever lost to Devil Jin.

Due to his laser-focus to beat Jin, almost no one can beat Hwoarang fair and square.

Regardless, his fighting style speaks for itself, as Lars erratic offense looks impossible to read for everyone.

His youthful rage only contributes to his attacks, making Lars a truly dangerous individual.

Where is the series' multi-decade spanning narrative headed?

Being a karate master, she could take on the very best and emerge as the victor.

Yet, that doesnt really matter seeing as Heihachi still has achieved those feats.

Theres nothing this guy wont be able to achieve when he puts his mind to it.

He ranks here only because everyone above him has either beaten him or been proven to be more powerful.
