The History Of King - Tekken 8 Edition

I'd be lying if I didn't admit that as a kid, I thought King was an actual Jaguar man 😂

King was so integral to Tekken's identity in the early titles. I haven't played Tekken since 3, and it's great to see his story staying grounded in generosity and kindness. Love that he reaches out to Marduk and settles his difference in such a honorific and human way!

What I love about King is that he's not a person looking for glory, those who take the title of King aren't looking to put their name out there, but to keep alive the Legend of King, and what it stands for. He's almost like a superhero; doesn't matter much whos under the mask.

I really liked King’s story progression in the franchise.

King and Armor King also got me into Tekken i remember watching my big brother play tekken 2 armor king was his favorite character god rest his soul he would have been so excited for Tekken 8

I'm a bit older, but seeing King on a Tekken machine when I was a kid got me playing fighting games again.

Is there even a tekken fan that isn’t a king fan? I doubt it’s possible. Bow to the king

One of the best wrestlers in fighting game history

I used to always think his mask was actually his head

King I getting third in the first tournament is a pretty major feat, basically means he only lost out to Paul, Kazuya's rival, and Kazuya, the guy who would win the tournament.

I think Julia and King have a thing for each other. Its not explicitly there to see, but most of the time they're either together or against each other when Julia is part of the tournament.

To me i always related King and Sub-Zero . Both had multiple characters using the mantle. Both fought to avenge their former mentor, and both have their own things going on outside the main story… also helps that each one is my favorite character in each of their own games

King is one of the best characters in fighting games. Especially King II, his story is compelling, especially with his rivalry with Marduk.

One of my absolute favourite fighting game characters. When I used to play Tekken 3 as a kid, I was weirdly obsessed with him and armoured King 😄

i wondered why i was drawn to king as a kid besides his appearance, his background has twists & turns that make him so interesting

T5 King has the best drip

As someone who has played King and Armor King since Tekken 1, it was an amazing journey. I got to see him change and actually feel his changes too. Armor King's too (hoping he returns as DLC, fingers crossed). Such a satisfying and cool character. I feel like he's more important to Tekken's identity than even Jin because everyone knows Tekken is "the one with the tiger/jaguar/panther head wrestler". He's just that iconic, and has always been. Not just early, but now too, even with Kazuya and Jin being pushed by the story and marketing. I will always be a massive King fan. When I was younger, he was the first one I picked on the roster, and to this day, he's remained my favorite.

I was so confused of how many kings there are thanks for this

King is my 1st favorite Tekken character I really glad he part of the story of Tekken 8 hope we can see more of him in the story mode to come

0:27 one of your favourite, but MY favourite, ever since I started playing Tekken, he and Lee were my favourite characters
