Introduction
Steve Fox was introduced in Tekken 4, and he has returned for every subsequent game. He is the son of Nina Williams, who unknowingly had Steve while she was taking part in Doctor Boskonovitch's cold sleep project. Steve found out during the Fourth Tournament that he was going to be assassinated by Nina; fortunately, this did not happen. He entered the Fifth Tournament to "settle the score" with the Mishima Zaibatsu. As of Tekken 6, Steve is training and teaming up with Paul Phoenix and Marshall Law. His father's identity remains a mystery.
Trivia
General
- Steve's character was originally given the name Dean Earwicker. This was changed after a substantial amount of negative feedback from the Tekken community. The name has been referenced twice in the Tekken series. The first time was in Tekken 4's Tekken Force side game, where a Tekken Force member that is encountered at the fourth stage (the "Mishima Fortress" stage) is named "Dean Earwicker". This Tekken Force member also has a stance similar to Steve's. The second time was in Tekken 5's "Arcade Battle" mode, where a Tekken Lord Steve Fox is named "Dean Earwicker".
- Because he is a boxer, Steve Fox does not have normal kick attacks. However, there are a few instances where Steve uses his legs to attack, such as his get-up kicks, jumping kicks, and a single attack where he stomps on the opponent's foot.
- Another move of Steve's, his Endless Roll (4~3~f 1,2... _2,1...), is a variation of the Dempsey Roll, which was created and first used by the Heavy Weight Boxing Champion of the 1920's, Jack Dempsey. This move was further popularized by the use of the protagonist Makunoichi Ippo in the popular Japanese manga and anime Hajime no Ippo
- Steve's unblockable move, Hellfire (qcb,F+2), is the only unblockable attack where damage can be reduced by blocking it. When blocked, its properties also change.
- While being customized the 2nd outfit as '70's, he dressed up almost look a liked Renn Kiriyama who portrayed as Shotaro Hidari/Kamen Rider Double's left half body from Kamen Rider Double.
- Using the black "slicked back base" hair and the spiky front addition and turning his boxing shorts green (Default Costume 1), one may customize Steve to resemble Little Mac from "Punch-Out!!" on the original Nintendo Entertainment System.
- He is completely unaware that Anna Williams is Nina's sister and thus his aunt.
- Steve's Tekken 4 ending is connected to Nina Williams' and Lei Wulong's endings.
- Steve's sub-bosses are Lei Wulong and Heihachi Mishima.
- In Tekken 5, Namco broke the Japanese-English barrier built into Tekken 4, allowing the characters to speak in their native languages instead of either English or Japanese. As a result, Steve was given a stereotypical working class Southern British accent, contradicting the North London accent he had in Tekken 4 to the anger of many British fans. This accent is still present in Tekken 6.
- In the first picture in his Tekken 5 prologue, Steve is fighting against Paul Phoenix. Coincidentally enough, Steve would receive an invite to train with Paul, and his friend Marshall Law, in Tekken 6.
- In the Scenario Campaign of Tekken 6, Steve is a boss at the Abyss Gate.
Story
As a young British boxer enjoying his run as the world middleweight champ, Steve Fox was at the top of his game. He had everything he wanted, except for one thing - his past. Adopted in his infancy, Steve never knew the identity of his biological parents or the origin of the scar on his arm.
One day, Steve is ordered to throw a fight by a Mafia betting high stakes on the fight. Steve refused to cooperate and won the fight, regardless of the threats made against him.
Unfortunately, the Mafia made good on their threats and put a price on Steve's head. With the Mafia in hot pursuit, Steve fled United Kingdom for the United States to lead the life of a marked man. But no matter where he hid, he could not completely shake the Mafia henchmen.or ur the i Steve realized that no matter what he did, the Mafia would eventually catch up to him and kill him. No one would ever know that he was killed, nor would he ever learn the truth about his past. With this realization, Steve decides to put himself in the limelight again, and he enters The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.
Ending Animation
Text
Fortunately for us, Steve has an assassin gunning for him...
We'll take advantage of this situation.
Kill Steve by serving him up to the assassin.
End of the text.
Steve is in the Mishima Zaibatsu Data Room trying to find some information on his past. There, Steve finds out that he was conceived through vitro-fertilization in Nina Williams. The scene changes to the outside of "Union Jack" (which is probably a hotel). A limosuine parks in front the building and two men in suits get out. Steve comes out shortly afterward and begins walk toward the building. The man behind Steve pulls out a gun; however, it is shot out of his hand. Steve notices the gunshot and turns around.
He looks up into a building and sees Nina holding a sniper rifle. The second man tries to shoot Steve but also gets shot. The first man tries again but is shot again and then punched by Steve. Nina tries to escape but Steve pursues her, up until the point where they reach an alleyway. Steve seems to have lost Nina when she comes out from behind him with a gun. Steve begins to speak and Nina puts her gun down; the moment, however, is interrupted when Lei Wulong comes in, threatening to shoot Nina if she resists. Nina runs away while Steve stops Lei from chasing her.

Interludes
Stage 4: Lei Wulong
Lei is surprised that Steve is in the tournament. Steve asks Lei if he is here about the guy who trashed that dojo (Feng Wei). Lei says that he is. He adds that he's (Feng's) a very dangerous fighter and that he needs to warm up. He asks Steve if he is up for some sparring. Steve replies, "You're on." After Steve wins, Lei, who is sitting on the ground, compliments Steve on his strength. Steve tells Lei that he'll take care of the guy if he runs into him. Lei thanks Steve and says that he'll be counting on him.
Stage 7: Heihachi Mishima
Steve walks up to Heihachi the man who is behind the Zaibatsu Heihachi tells him that he is grossly mistaken. Steve yells to Heihachi to quit playing dumb and wants Heihachi to tell him everything! After Steve wins, he says to Heihachi, who is laying on the ground, that his research is a complete failure. Heihachi replies, saying if Steve think this tournament ends with him. Steve asks him, What does he mean by this,and asks Who else is behind Mishima Zaibatsu Heihachi answers, telling Steve to go to ground zero. Which is the last stage of the tournament. A closeup of Steve's face is shown.
Final Stage: Jinpachi Mishima
Steve walks through Final Stage 2. Jinpachi (in human form) walks up behind him and says, "I'm impressed that you've made it this far. I am Jinpachi Mishima. My goal... My goal is to destroy all existence!" Shortly after Jinpachi starts to speak, Steve turns around and notices him. After he finishes speaking, Jinpachi transforms into his "Devil" form.
Ending Animation
Steve is in a room where lab experiments are being created. He looks at a tank with a life form in it. He punches the glass, breaking it, since he does not want "another monster like himself" to be created.
Steve Fox's storyline is unchanged between Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
Steve Fox had destroyed the research institute of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and finally settled a long-time feeling of resentment.
Steve was intent on returning to the world of the boxing again, but the majority of major boxing meets are canceled by the war that broke out all over the world.
Steve, who knew no other trade than the boxing ring, had effectively lost his job and his passion, and went into depression.
Soon after, he received an invitation to train together with Marshall Law and Paul Phoenix. Steve, who liked the idea of training in a martial art other than boxing, accepted.
Ending Animation
Steve, along with Paul Phoenix and Marshall Law, celebrate their victory in the tournament in a small hut. The Mishima Zaibatsu bring the money inside for them. Paul reminds them that they'll split the money 3 ways "just like we promised". However, Steve lightly rejects the money and tells them that the experience alone was reward enough and leaves the hut. After he leaves, Paul and Marshall delight in the fact that they have so much money, however, unbeknownst to them, the Zaibatsu has placed a bomb inside one of the cases of money. Paul and Law continue to celebrate unaware that they only have 5 seconds left. Outside, Steve is shown quite far away from the hut as the bomb goes off, apparently killing his two new friends. He turns around and a saddened look overtakes his face.
Steve Fox's storyline is unchanged between Tekken 6 and Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.
Steve Fox appears in the Tekken movie, portrayed by British singer/actor, Luke Goss. In the film, he is an older, retired fighter who sponsers Jin in the tournament after the latter defeated Marshall Law. He has no blood ties to Nina apparently, knew Jun before her death, and becomes Jin's friend and mentor. He is killed by Jackhammers while breaking Jin and the other imprisoned participants out of their holding cells.
