[edit] Introduction

Sake (pronounced Sa-kay) is an irregular character that made his only appearance in the Arcade version of Tekken 3. Sake uses Yoshimitsu's Tekken 3 model, and Jin Kazama's moveset. For some time it was believed by fans that Sake is a Tekken 3 version Steve Fox in Tekken 3, which is impossible as the character was not thought of at the time. Sake was also going to be a middle boss before Ogre. Katsuhiro Harada revealed the following in a forum post on August 1st 2010:

"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."[1]

[edit] Trivia

  • Sake uses Yoshimitsu's Tekken 3 body, and Jin Kazama's moves.
  • Can be unlocked and playable using a cheat (on the Arcade version only).
  • Sake was believed to be a Tekken 3 version of Steve Fox or female version of Yoshimitsu before its true nature was known.
  • Sake is not featured in any opening or endings of any Tekken character or game.

Tekken 3 Sake (on left).

Sake was rather populating the game as the game had already got 20 characters at that time. Namco's production team probably didn't had much time to re-do the whole code for character selection, so they buried the two raw characters in an as-is condition.
