Line 1:

* Why is a guy as strong as Paul Phoenix treated as a complete joke?
** Because his plot is not directly related to a Mishima. Alternatively, because he's American.
*** Also, since he was originally supposed to be Kazuya's rival and Kazuya is well past needing a rival character, Paul was left in limbo. Especially since there was nobody to take over his moveset (i.e. Baek to Hwo).
*** I just take small comfort in the fact that he canonically beat Heihachi in ''3''.
**** Uh, wasn't it Ogre that he beat? The fact is, Jin beats True Ogre... So I thought Jin beats Heihachi, loses to Paul, and then Paul proceeds to beat Ogre, but left before it transformed, leaving Jin to take care of it.
Line 11:
** Are you kidding? LOOK AT HIS HAIR.
** Oddly enough in the manga adaptation for Tekken 6, Paul is treated like a living legend in the Tekken Tournament, his impressive record for the 3rd tournament is public knowledge and he has legions of fans to prove this; also his buddy Marshall who gets the same joke/not-important character treatment in the games, followed suit in the manga as being another widely known and respected fighter.
* Is it just me or is Namco determined to make Yoshimitsu look [[Darker and Edgier]] with each sequel? In the first game, he was just a silly-looking [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|roboninja thing]]. Then Tekken 2 came along and he was given evil red eyes and vampire teeth, as well as a darker colour scheme. Tekken 3, he's a scary alien cyborg. Then he has a friggin SKULL FACE complete with [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]], then there's that sudden voice change, and now...[http://www.tekkenpedia.com/w/images/f/fa/Yoshimitsu_t-6_wallpaper.jpg oh hell.]{{Dead link}} Thank god for customization.
** Alternatively, ''This Troper'' thinks his appearances in the Soul Calibur/Soulcalibur games are fairly silly.
* Leo's gender. Period.
Line 32:
*** King and the rest of the orphans were raised by a Catholic priest. Maybe the original King stressed the importance of forgiveness?
*** I cannot for the life of me remember where, but I vaguely recall some info on Marduk suggesting that while he wasn't exactly remorseful over Armor King's death, he was far from proud of it. He just wasn't the kind of person to take being treated like a monster for a mistake lying down and rebelled against it in a jerkass fashion. The way he saw it, he went to jail, did his time, and lost everything he had because of it. He's paid for that mistake in his opinion.
*** Regardless, I understand the point the OP brought up. Marduk killed King's father figure and not only showed little remorse, he actually desecrates Armor King's grave by digging it up. Forgiveness is one thing, but befriending his mentor's killer and treating his death like it's water under the bridge is the point where fans cry [[Wall Banger
*** If that happened before Armor King II went in and smacked Marduk silly, that would be stupid. At that point, both King and Marduk were utterly shocked that Armor King I could be [[Back
* Anna's fighting style. If she only knows [[Waif Fu|Aikido, which involves holds, throws, reversals, and joint locks]], how did she learn to do all of these [[She Fu|flashy moves]]?
** I believe her fighting style is officially a mix of Koppo (which revolves around crushing and breaking bones) and assassination arts rooted in Aikido. It's like how Paul's style incorporates judo and aikido or how Law's is just listed as "martial arts" despite clearly behind based on ([[Bruce Lee Clone|naturally]]) Jeet Kune Do.
* So after thinking about it, the current [[Family Feud]] among the Mishima's (Kazuya, Heihachi, and Jin, with Jinpachi being thrown in there for good measure)........'''IS ALL FUCKING HEIHACHI'S FAULT!!!!''' Imprisoning your father in a mountain, throwing your son off a cliff, shooting your grandson in the head. [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|He just keeps]] [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|fucking]] [[What an Idiot!|up.]] Seriously, maybe Jin at least would mellow out and just chill if the old fart just died. Kazuya would still be a problem, but you have to deal with one problem at a time. He keeps making everyone he double crosses [[Eviler Than Thou|more evil than he is.]] It's clear to me who the real bad guy of Tekken is. God help up if lars ever actually meets him. The guy will probably end up wanting to kick babies afterwards.
