Introduction

Tekken is the first game in the Tekken series. It was released in arcades on December 9, 1994. It was released on the PlayStation on March, 1995 in Japan, November, 1995 in North America, and November, 1995 in Europe. Tekken had two modes, Arcade mode and VS mode. Extra modes would be added in later Tekken games. Tekken was met with many positive reviews. Critics claimed that it was a good start to the series. Its success and popularity has spawned six sequels. The Tekken games have been highly popular with the martial arts community due to moves of the fighters being close to the actual style of fighting. Tekken was, however, criticized for making Heihachi Mishima, the boss character, extremely powerful because of his unstoppable air juggle combos. This was rectified in the later versions of the series.
