Under Heihachi's orders, the Tekkenshu are excavating a Central American archeological site when they discover a mysterious life form. Through Heihachi's efforts, the world appears to be regaining peace. He also takes a strong interest in the well being of developing nations by helping them build agricultural systems that will sustain them. Using his immeasurable wealth, he forms the Tekkenshu, a mercenary group employed to quell conflicts efficiently. He embarks on a crusade to win the trust of world leaders by putting wars and conflicts to rest. Having regained control of the Mishima Conglomerate, Heihachi sets about to further increase his powers. But in a desperate struggle for the future of her child, Jun defeats Devil and retires to desolate Yakushima so as to raise Kazuya's son, Jin, alone. Heihachi casts the lifeless Kazuya into a fiery volcano.Īs Kazuya's body burns, the Devil appears before the pregnant Jun Kazama in a bid to enter the soul of the new life beating within her. Eventually, Heihachi emerges, scarred, but victorious, to regain control of the immense Mishima Conglomerate. In a reprise of the first Tekken tournament, the father and son clash in a cursed blood battle. Several days later, the final challenger arrives to face Kazuya, the organizer of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. But she cannot help being drawn to him, propelled by a mystic force beyond her control. Jun Kazama comes to the stunning realization that Kazuya's supernatural strength stems from Devil. The King Of Iron Fist Tournament 3 is set 15 years after the The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. There is also a minigame called Tekken Ball, similar to beach volleyball, where one has to 'charge' a ball (hit the ball with a powerful attack) in order to hurt the opponent.

This was continued in Tekken 4 and succeeded by the Devil Within minigame in Tekken 5. Bosconovitch would be a playable character (granted that you defeat him first). If the player succeeds in beating the minigame four times, Dr. Tekken Force pitted the player in various stages against enemies in a side-scrolling fashion. Tekken 3 was the first Tekken to feature a beat 'em up minigame called Tekken Force. The improved engine allowed for quick recoveries from knock-downs, more escapes from tackles and stuns, and newly-created combo throws.

Jumping was toned down in Tekken 3, no longer allowing fighters to jump to extreme heights (as was present in previous games) but keeping leaps to reasonable, realistic heights which made air combat more controllable. Perhaps the most noticeable change in Tekken 3 is sidestepping, allowing fighters to step 'into' or 'out of' the background, whereas the element of depth had been largely insignificant in previous Tekken games. Tekken 3 maintains the same basic fighting system as its predecessors, but brings improvements, such as significantly more detailed graphics and animation, 15 new characters added to the game's roster, and faster and more fluid gameplay.
