Steve Fox End of Game Tekken 5
9after the conclusion of King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, father Kazuya Mishima and son Jin Kazama, battle each other at Hon-Maru, located within the Mishima estate. Jin quickly beats his father. Jin's grandfather, Heihachi, reenters the scene to find his son defeated and unconscious. Heihachi and Jin begin battling. During the battle, Jin begins to manifest the Devil he inherited from his father, Kazuya. Just as it appears that Jin will kill Heihachi, Jin suddenly has a vision of his mother, Jun Kazama, and regains himself. He tells Heihachi to "thank his mother" for not killing him. He flies away soon after.
Shortly afterwards, just as Heihachi and Kazuya are coming to, a bunch of Jack-4 robots sent by G Corporation come crashing through Hon-Maru's walls and attack. Both Kazuya and Heihachi are surprised at the sight and begin battling as a team against the invasion. During the battle, however, Kazuya betrays his father by throwing him into the path of the army of robots and escapes. Seconds later, the robots self-destruct, destroying Hon-Maru. A mysterious character, Raven, watching on top of a nearby cliff, speaks into his earpiece and reports, "Heihachi Mishima is dead." Sometime later, a new King of Iron Fist Tournament is announced.
Meanwhile, Jin Kazama's Devil Gene is going berserk, and he decides to search for the one responsible for the change by entering the new tournament. Kazuya also enters to find out exactly who in G Corporation betrayed him and to find out about the mysterious figure behind the tournament, since the reigning King of Iron Fist, Heihachi, is presumed deceased.
As Jin and Kazuya progress through the tournament, the secret sponsor is finally revealed: Jinpachi Mishima, the father of Heihachi and who has been missing for the past forty-four years. As it turns out, Jinpachi is the founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu and was a respected martial arts master until his greedy son, Heihachi, stole the company from him. Heihachi had imprisoned Jinpachi underneath Hon-Maru after Jinpachi attempted to retake his company in a return coup d'état (Heihachi had been steering the company into the military industry, something Jinpachi believed was not right). Jinpachi died soon afterwards of starvation, but a mysterious entity took over his mind and body, granting him immortality. Jinpachi was finally freed from his prison when the Jack-4's destroyed Hon-Maru. As of now, the mysterious entity is slowly consuming Jinpachi's mind, and Jinpachi has announced the tournament in hopes that someone will kill him and put an end to his reign of terror before it even starts.
In the end, Jin makes it to the final, and faces his great-grandfather in combat. Jinpachi becomes monstrous in form, with a demonic entity causing his stomach to grow a mouth of fangs. Ultimately, Jin manages to defeat Jinpachi, who dissolves into dust and disappears, his wish fulfilled. Jin is now the new owner of the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Tekken 5 is credited for taking the series back to its roots. It incorporates a faster, more fluid fighting system, improved graphics, returning characters, and some of the Tekken series' trademark infinite stages. New to Tekken 5 is the Crush System which affects the vulnerability of a character while they attack. For example, a move with jumping properties, such as a hop kick, will be completely invulnerable during most of its animation time to all of an opponent's low attacks.
Gameplay (Paul vs Hwoarang)
It also retains its wall juggling concept from Tekken 4, but the element is effectively less easy to abuse and easier to defend against. Tekken 5 also introduced a Ranking system for the first time.
The home version is a collector's edition of sorts, as it includes full arcade emulations of Tekken, Tekken 2, Tekken 3 and StarBlade. Tekken 5 also allowed players to customize their fighter for the first time, allowing them to change the colors of their outfits, buy additional costumes (only available to a few characters), and equip them with items by using money gained from playing the Story, Survival, Time Attack, the side-story Devil Within, and Arcade Battle modes.
A number of characters who were absent from Tekken 3 or Tekken 4 returned, such as Anna Williams, Bruce Irvin, Wang Jinrei and others. This, combined with seven newly introduced characters, gave Tekken 5 a roster of 37 characters, almost as many as the 'all-stars' Tekken Tag Tournament game.
Due to the huge imbalance in the original version of the game, most notably concerning the likes of Steve and Kazuya, an arcade-exclusive update was released, known as Tekken 5.1. Aside from attempting to balance the game (ground moves now inflicted 70% damage instead of 100%), 5.1 also changed the health bar from yellow to green.
