Since they have the same architecture, the Parking Area, Statue, and Building stages are apparently located around here, too. Mad Scientist Laboratory: The Laboratory stage, as well as the first level of Tekken Force.Problem is, this is moments before she has to assassinate him per her contract. Luke, I Am Your Father: Nina and Steve learn separately that they are mother and son.Also, after leaving the tournament at the end of Tekken 3, Jin left Japan and eventually settled in Brisbane. Land Down Under: Marduk is Australian, accent notwithstanding.The second level of Tekken Force is also modeled after this. After pondering a bit, he decides to leave the hospital without killing him. However, he then sees a photo of Marduk's family. I Have a Family: In King's ending, he visits the hospital where Marduk is being treated and comes close to killing him, therefore avenging Armor King.Glowing Eyes of Doom: Kazuya Mishima's left eye glows red as of this game, either because of the Mishima bloodline's Devil Gene, or his resurrection by G Corporation.And the final boss, like the first game, is simply Heihachi rather than some sort of Humanoid Abomination. Neither Angel nor Devil are playable characters. Ogre, instead of being an ancient god, is a "bioweapon." The Ridiculously Human Robot, Jack, was replaced by the Clockwork Creature, Combot. For example, the Mishima Clan's Devil powers seem to be attributed to a genetic mutation. Most soft sci-fi and blatantly supernatural elements are downplayed or eliminated entirely. Doing In the Wizard: This game, in general.Unlike Mokujin, however, he only changes his moveset every stage, not round. Ditto Fighter: Combot fills Mokujin's role in this game.In his ending, he does get his fight with Jin, but the two end up having to work together when a Korean army unit sent to capture him attacks them both. Dangerous Deserter: Hwoarang left the mandatory Korean military draft midway through to enter the tournament so he can fight Jin Kazama again.Also counts as Bragging Rights Reward, since unlike 3's Tekken Force Mode where a character can be unlocked by finishing the game mode 4 times the only other reward for finishing Tekken Force in this game is unlocking a stage (Hon-Maru), which is particularly annoying since it's so much longer and more difficult than in 3. Upon beating the final stage, the words "Dedicated to all of the Tekken Force members who lost their lives in battle" will be shown, followed by a scrolling list of every named Tekken Force member you defeated as well as the specific moves you used to defeat them. Dedication: Played for Laughs at the end of Tekken Force Mode.As with Eternal Darkness, Corridor is dimly lit and its boss is Kazuya. Continuity Nod: The BGM for the Corridor level in Tekken Force is the same one used for the "Eternal Darkness" stage from Tekken 2 arcade.However, he left it halfway through upon the announcement of the fourth King of Iron Fist tournament. Conscription: Hwoarang underwent one during the timeskip, hence his 2P military uniform.Unless you hack the game, the outfit cannot be selected outside these fights. As a result, he fights Kazuya and Heihachi in Stage 8 and 9, respectively, while shirtless. Clothing Damage: Jin loses the top of his karategi in Stage 7 while he is fighting the Tekken Force.This was what motivated King to enter the fourth King of Iron Fist tournament: to kick Marduk's sorry ass. Bus Crash: Marduk killed Armor King during a bar brawl.Book Dumb: In Xiaoyu's ending, Miharu apparently failed all of her college entrance exams.In the latter, Heihachi successfully captures both Jin and Kazuya and presumably enacts his plan to create the ultimate lifeform. In the former, Kazuya absorbs Jin's Devil Gene power and becomes an even more powerful Devil. The Bad Guy Wins: Kazuya's and Heihachi's endings.
It's unknown how, though the Devil Gene is implied to have had a hand in it. Back from the Dead: The G Corporation found Kazuya's body preserved at the bottom of a volcano and resurrected him.Athletic Arena Level: Arena, the Final Boss stage, is a wrestling ring where the finalist for the fourth King of Iron Fist tournament faces against Heihachi.New characters: Christie, Combot, Marduk, Miharu, Steve, Violet.From Tekken 3: Bryan, Eddy, Hwoarang, Jin, Julia, King II, Kuma II, Panda, Xiaoyu.From Tekken: Heihachi, Kazuya, Law, Lee, Nina, Paul, Yoshimitsu.
