Tekken 3 [Arcade] - play as Sake (unused character)
116This is a playthrough using the unused character Sake in the Arcade version of Tekken 3. Read on below for more information...
'Sake' is an unused character in this version of the game, which means that he is a non-selectable character.
NOTE: Continues used and some cut out to save time and keep video file size low.
===== ABOUT "SAKE" IN TEKKEN 3 =====
According to Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada:
"Regarding 'SAKE', this was included when we planned to implement a new animal character. But there were a few problems...
It was really a salmon so, no matter if you press punch or kick, the character just flops around making a flapping noise...
At the time, one play was 100 yen (a little over a dollar) so that is the quality bar to keep in mind for customer satisfaction.
So we thought players would get quite angry if they had to pay that much to play such a character, and we gave up on that character. That kind of character might be OK in a console version, but not for the arcade."
===== TECHNICAL INFORMATION =====
As an unused "character", there is obviously some unorthodox factors about Sake, such as follows:
---- He seems to be placeholder data in the slot, having been possibly removed prior in development.
---- On the character select and versus screens, he doesn't have a portrait image, instead it just uses a "no character" silhouette (the silhouette can be considered a portrait image... it depends on how you look at it).
---- In a 1P game at least, if you get a high ranking and need to enter your name after the game is over, the screen is wrong where you cannot see the top.
---- He can also appear on the Rankings screen, he uses Paul's icon image. This isn't shown in the video (I forgot).
---- In gameplay, "Sake" uses Yoshimitsu's character model and Jin's moveset. It also actually displays his name under his lifebar.
---- In gameplay, his "voices"/"sounds" are like an electronic rasping noise. It's probably the sound intended for the salmon character flapping.
---- In gameplay, he uses Eddy's background and the hidden character music theme.
---- You can beat the game with her in 1P mode without any problems. This is anticipated because this version of the game has no character endings.
---- In the PS1 version of the game, his data slot is used by Crow (the Tekken Force soldiers).
