That's right, my boy destroying Watchmojo after that horrible list

What a totally accurate list of great Tekken characters. So pleased to have seen Xiaoyu, Feng Wei, Dragunov, and Miguel on here. Hopefully we see Miguel and Bruce Irvin return in Tekken 8. I don't think I have ever seen a list of good fighting game characters as big as this. Keep up the hard work you do in giving us great content, you honestly deserve a massive thumbs up, dude. 👍

I already know this will be way better then watchmojo's list

Fun fact: Marshall Law was Michael Jackson's main in TEKKEN 1.

Lots of games let you play as Bruce Lee, but only Tekken lets you play as Jackie freakin' Chan.

Thank you for putting Bruce and OG Raven on here. Both of those characters are amazing and truly don't get enough respect.

Zafina, Dragunov, Bryan, Bruce, are on this list. The fact you put them on, I'm happy. Thank you for putting respect on my main's names.

What I like about your lists is that they make sense, even if I don't agree 100% with you, I get where you are coming from which is something that is missing in a lot of lists, the audience needs to get why the order is like that so the list doesn't get trashed, we need more lists that make sense for us like this one.

I’ve always thought of it as first gen main male and female characters: Kazuya and Nina Second Gen: Jin and Xiaoyu. If there’s a collab or side game these are the characters you’re going to see repping the franchise. I think Xiaoyu’s been almost everything repping the women too.

That Tekken 2 intro always hits man.

My favorite is definitely King. He’s a wrestler with a goddamn jaguars mask how sick is that. Plus he’s a really good guy who fought to give orphaned children a home

I'd love to see Asuka moved over to the main story... as for Lili, if feel there's a really obvious rivalry there should be in the game... Julia! Tekken's resident environmentalist should definitely have issues with the pompous heiress of an oil tycoon!

Finally, a channel that talks about the lore! I’m so sick of channels going on about how good so and so’s “pokes” are 😴 thank you!! You are a breath of fresh air!

Asuka Kazama is my favorite character. That being said I 100% agree with you which is unfortunate. Hope she shines in 8

Hwoarang and Eddie gordo gotta be top 5. I remember when tekken 3 exploded everyone using one of them. They both had people signing up around the world wanting to do tae kwon do and capoeira

We're gonna ignore Julia's badass T4 ending? Michelle was pretty goofy in her Tag 2 ending, you know they'd end up going a similar direction with her if she never been replaced. But good to see the Changs acknowledged.

I agree with you on Paul deserves to be high up on his Tekken 4 ending alone

My list for Tekken in terms of lore. 1. Jin Kazama 2. Kazuya Mishima 3. Heihachi Mishima 4. Paul Phoenix 5. Lars Alexanderson 6. Nina Williams 7. Jun Kazama 8. Marshall Law 9. King 10. Lei Wulong Honourable mentions: Hwoarang Ling Xiaoyu Yoshimitsu Graig Marduk Zafina Wang Jin Rei Lee Chaolan Alisa Bosconovich Jinpachi Mishima Bruce Irvin Anna Williams Steve Fox Leo Kliesman Miguel Cabellero Rojo Raven

I think Jinpachi has an iconic design (unique facial hair & reminds me of Hulk Hogan a bit), but he may be remembered more for being iconicly cheap as the T5 boss

Loving the Tekken content, Den. I definitely agree with the list (I would put Bruce higher but that’s just me). Would you consider reviewing or ranking all Tekken Adaptations (films and Bloodline) in the future

watchmojo was a talent announcer for fighters den

Please do 15 best soul calibur characters. Yoshimitzu fits better in soul calibur over tekken

You have done this Tekken Character List absolute Justice!

I liked this video when I saw Zafina make the list. I unliked it when I saw how high Marduck was. King was a little lower than I would have placed them. Um, Law was higher than where I would have put them. And it was an absolute tragedy that Kuma didn't crack the Top 30. Putting Jin at #1 is a respectable pick. I ended up leaving this video with the like buttoned clicked. Thank you for Tekken content.

100% agree on your point about Jack. Tekken needs to return to some of the cool storytelling and lore and to stop turning great characters into comic relief, rather than ONLY focus on Mishimas..

My man Paul getting the respect and love he deserves. I already loved ur channel before but now it's even more sweeter to me just cuz the space and words u reserved for the resident, high fade sporting, easy to play powerhouse of the franchise.

Kazuya will always been #1 I'm my book 🤘🏾🔥 Will always love that revenge plot and devil gene reveal.

finally, someone putting some respect on my boys Lars,Raven and Feng Wei

Thank you so much for mentioning Michelle Chang!

I’ve been playing Tekken since early ‘96, in was not quite 20 years old. Fell in love with it immediately and played it relentlessly all the way through Tekken 3. I stopped playing after that for some reason. I need to get back into it!

Feng-Wei was the dude that got me back into Tekken. I wish they would give more story expansion to other characters besides the Mishimas.

My top 10 favorite Tekken characters: 10. Raven 9. Kazuya Mishima 8. Jun Kazama 7. Yoshimitsu 6. King II 5. Ling Xiaoyu 4. Eddy Gordo 3. Alisa Bosconovich 2. Jin Kazama Honorable Mentions (I guess u can also call this list 11-22.): 11. Hwaorang 12. Paul Phoenix 13. Steve Fox 14. Marshall Law 15. Anna Williams 16. Nina Williams 17. Lili De Rochefort 18. Lei Wulong 19. Leroy Smith 20. Bryan Fury 21. Bruce Irvan 22. Jinpachi Mishima 1. Lars Alexanderson (I don't care what anybody says, I love this character. He is and always will be my favorite character in Tekken.)

Creg Marduk was reason why I played Tekken in the first place and I not gonna lie I really wanted to see feud between steve fox and Marduk

I'd move a few people around tbh. Ogre and Jinpachi would be somewhere on my top 30, but overall great list man. I respect your reasoning for each placement and no bs like other lists. Btw Armor King definitely invited to the cookout lol.

Here's my list 1. Combot/Mokujin 2. Alex 3. Roger 4. Ganryu 5. Lucky Chole 6. Miharu 7. Sebastian 8. Dr. Boskonovitch 9. Gon 10. The fodder in Tekken Force

I want to see The Original Wesley Snipes Raven Bruce Irvin Baek Doo San and Wang Jinrei to return in Tekken 8

EXCELLENT LIST DEN

Nice top, a man that know what he's talking about. My top 5 is 5.Yoshimitsu 4.King 3.Heihachi 2.Kazuya 1.Jin Paul and Law would be in 6 and 7 for me.

Armor King- “People to this day don’t know if he’s black or not.” Fr though! 🤣

Easily my favorite fight game lore channel!

Great list kinda similar to mine also I agree I HATE Lili she ruined Asuka’s chance to shine in the Story because of that dead end rivalry supposed to be Namco’s version of Sakura and Karin if you ask me. My list and this is my opinion and a valid one at that!!! 1. Hwoarang 2. Jin Kazama 3. Eddy Gordo 4. Wang Jinrei 5. Lei Wulong 6. Kazuya Mishima 7. Paul Phoenix 8. Heihachi Mishima 9. Nina Williams 10. Lars Alexandersson 11. Jun Kazama 12. Marshall and Forest Law 13. King I and II 14. Armor King I and II 15. Bryan Fury 16. Yoshimitsu 17. Lee Chaolan 18. Steve Fox 19. Raven 20. Ling Xiaoyu 21. Anna Williams 22. Azazel 23. Zafina 24. Baek Doo San 25. Bruce Irving 26. Michelle and Julia Chang 27. Jinpachi Mishima 28. Alisa 29. Feng Wei 30. Asuka Kazama

The fact that you didn't even include Heihachi shows me you put some serious consideration in your rankings. I'd agree with the vast majority😁

A man of culture! Paul is right where he should be. Very nice. Also I'm partial to Kazuya myself.

Thank you for adding Tekken 3 Hwoarang theme to his introduction 💯💯🔥🔥

Guess what I'm already 42 and still rock with this game. Zafina making the list had me stoked but Eddy top 10 was even cooler. Good list bro😁✊🏾✊🏾

The Den always delivers the best list of all fighting games lore.

Den, props for the Streets of Rage music use, still my all time favorite video game music

The fans respect Paul more than the Tekken developers

"How are you gonna test his stripes, when he's out here looking like Wesley Snipes?" BARS & SUBSCRIBED

Best list I've seen yet

Jin was the main character in Tekken 4 at all. He only shows up towards the end

I’m so glad I finally see a list based off LORE and not just gameplay.

Eddie Gordo is one of the most culturally important black characters in video game history

lololol love the opening because I actually came here from a REALLY shitty list video from someone else and had to cut it of early. cant wait to watch this!

Hwoarang and Jin all day ✊🏽💯💯

I'm a Paul Phoenix man myself. ⏸

THANK YOU! Put some respect on my Boi Lars name everything he said was straight facts 💯 he did a shit ton

JIN is definitely the coolest

Great list Would’ve loved to see ganryu or Leo somewhere in this list but it was dope

Great list (I'm not agree with it at some points but I still see it as a good list) ... And let's be honest ... after all of Namco's efforts to make her look bad and a jobber ... Nina is still the best female character of the series ... you can love or hate her but you already know that's the truth !

Missed several of your videos the last few months. Well... regarding this TOP you actualy pulled one of the best list for a Tekken Game with the esentials right now. *I wish Michelle would make an official come back in the Canon... (Let Julia be Jaycee for her twitch streams XD)

Kazuya will always be my #1 but I agree with your other rankings

I feel like hwoarang could have been in a better spot but that’s me being bias. Great list otherwise

Some of these lists doesnt rly makes sense, but the vibes u set on these videos are unmatchable :-DDD love it

Excellent list. The top 3 in my opinion, can be interchangeable. Glad so my main Bruce on this list too.

This list is was better the WatchMojo list

Overall a solid list... I think Violet should have been 17... and Lee the top spot... dude carried the whole story as an adopted son...

THE VOICE OF TRUTH

My top 30 characters: 1. Hworang, 2. Beak, 3. Lars, 4. Jin, 5. King I, 6. King II, 7. Yoshimitsu, 8. Brayan, 9. Paul, 10. Law, 11. Lei, 12. Raven, 13. Steve, 14. Bruce, 15. Dragunov, 16. Armored King II, 17. Armored King I, 18. Kazuya, 19. Heihachi, 20. Nina, 21. Ashuka, 22. Jun, 23. Michelle, 24. Julia, 25. Christie, 26. Ana, 27. Jack, 28. Angel, 29. Master Raven, 30. Forest.

My top 10 as for today based on lore and impact and character design: 1. Jin 2. Kazuya 3. Heihachi 4. Lars 5. King 6. Jun 7. Paul 8. Nina 9. Yoshimitsu 10. Hworang

I'm glad to OGs from part one are all in the early twenties up if you think about it Anna P jack and a few others that got more presence in part two the true OGs . I learned King first loved grappling as a kid ,then Law and Paul. Nina is more a skill player her grabs and counters were sickening and fun to watch

Marshall Law at number 5! Heck yeah.

You put my boy Hwoarang in the top 10, for that, W list my boy

1. Heihachi (Charismatic af until the end, don’t need no devil gene) 2. Kazuya (More compelling than Jin in my opinion) 3. Jinpachi (I like the idea of a Mishima conquering the Mishima curse, even if he didn’t fully manage it. Dude is ordinarily a peaceful giant) 4. Jin (He aight. I just think the ones above him are more compelling). 5. Paul. (Iconic heavy hitter, stepped up to beat Ogre and won. Sadly has been reduced to a gag character since). 6. Yoshimitsu (Absolutely iconic. Not much more to say) 7. Lars (Love this guy for being the bastard child of the Mishimas but stepping up to be an absolute jackass and be glorious about it) 8. Leeroy (Dripped tf out) 9. Marshall Law (Peak name.) 10. King/Armor King. (Iconic like Yoshimitsu)

1. Kazuya 2. Hwoarang 3. Steve Fox 4. Lei Wulong 5. Marshall Law 6. Jin Kazama 7. Gun Jack 8. Bryan Fury 9. Asuka 10. Baek

Let's go Fighters Den!!

Hwoarang is underated, fought to a draw with jin, that automatically means he's up there with the main characters power wise, I think it's cannon he fought devil jin and survived. Glad the new anime put him in the main cast along with Paul cannonically they're the strongest fighters outside the mishimas

My top 10 Tekken charcters 10. Gun Jack 9. Bryan Fury 8. Raven 7. King 2 6. Marduk 5. Hwoarang 4. Yoshimitsu 3. Paul Phoenix 2. Eddy Gordo/Christie Monteiro 1. Heihachi/Jinpachi Mishima

Best Tekken character is Anna Williams lol!

Put some respect to this channel!

Forgot Devil Jin, he’s ranked at 1.5

Thats a lot of respect you demand..

There no way Miguel is beating jin without the devil gene maybe but with it he gonna get washed

500 LIKES...👍👍

fantastic list my number 1 tekken list for sure. I defo agree with this list it makes sence. thougt wang would of made the list but i dont mind it. still a good charcter along with Beck do san and Jinpachi., fantastic job on makeing this list

Ling Nation, where you at!!! Xiaoyu always been my favorite.

Correction - Marduk is the result of Goldberg and Brock Lesnar doing the fusion dance and then their fusion using the potara earrings with Triple H. Fun Fact - The endings in Tekken 1, 2 and 3 for yoshimitsu are all canon to both his own story and the main plot. (T1)He actually found ganryu and stole his money in the first tournament,(T2) he joined the second one to infiltrate the zaibatsu to save Dr bosconovitch which he was successful and (T3) he actually managed to swipe of sample of ogre's blood after jin killed him to help Dr B create a cure for his disease. This was when ogre was already dead at the hands of jin.

I want them to bring back the original RAVEN

Hwoarang is such an underrated fighter. Idk why he isn’t anyone’s favorite. He’s the best kicker in Tekken and is fast and has really damaging attacks

I mostly agree with this list! No cap, I would bump Zafina up to around 25 or switch Michelle. When it comes to story relevance, Zafina got it it.

Everybody knew the top 5 and you should’ve known the top 6-but the top 8 is undebatable really.

Jin is only interesting because of Kazuya. Let’s be honest here

" I've been looking forward to this" - Count Dooku

I loved your presentation Tekken has been the fighting game that has pierced my heart ❤️ the most.. 1 thing I absolutely agree with you on is these awesome characters need better writing 👍

Character #23 :🐤🎷Bruce Irvin needs to return in TEKKEN 8. I like how you used his TEKKEN 2 theme. Character #21: Armor King has always been an epic beast of a character, whether it was him or his older brother from Tekken 1- Tekken Tag 1. Character #12: Eddy. I had first used him when I had bought Tekken Tag 1. I didn't become skilled with Eddy until I had labbed him in Tekken 4 in 2007 although I had his action figure since 2003. Eddy is a very smooth character.

Hi, I’ve been playing Tekken since it was launched in arcade game parlours 1994 or 1995 to now on playstation in 2024….! I have been a consistent good player not a noob though…! I have some opinions for the Top 10 as per mixed assessment of major players and people playing Tekken to my own choice of all time Tekken icons…! 1. Jin Kazama 2. Kazuya Kazama 3. Heihachi Mishima 4. Marshall Law 5. Lars Alexanderson 6. Nina Williams 7. Paul Phoenix 8. King 9. Hwoarang 10. Jun Kazama / Asuka Kazama Honourable Mentions: 1. Yoshimitsu 2. Lili 3. Lee Chalon 4. Eddy Gordo & 5. Ling Xiaoyu

After 8 I think a couple of characters would go higher on the list, specially Lars, he was so damn great in this game.

Armor king and Raven deserved to be higher...better than many in that top 20 to 13

Can you make a KOF characters please?

Very good list
