The most memorable Tekken game I've played.
Tekken 3 is the most memorable Tekkken game for me.The combat in Tekken 3 has a free flowing but technical feel to it.It's not button mashey like DOA or stiff like Virtua Fighter.
I love the diverse styles/characteristics of the characters.
I love Jin's spinning back fists that smash his opponent and everytime you see an opponent getting hit by them you'll see the energy from the move impact onto that opponent.I love Jin's aerial spinkick that knocked his opponent down and allowed him to strike them many times after they were down.
Paul has a power punch that could deplete 1/3 of his opponents health in one hit.
Hwoarang is a Korean martial artist who had some incredible kicking combos where he could juggle you in the air with his kicks and perform some very long or powerful kick combos from different angles.
Heiheichi who is one of the bad guys and Jin's grandfather is a very powerful and skillful martial artist and can grab an opponent and send energy to their brain for massive damage.
Bryan the cyborg has powerful flying kick moves.
Eddy is the unorthodox,raggae dancing fighter.
Kuma the bear can slap you senseless.
The wrestler named King,who wears a Jaguar Mask,has some powerful wrestling moves.
There's also the more traditional martial artists such as Lei and Law.
There's also the smaller frame,fast female characters.
The final boss battle against a demon and an ogre demon was epic too.
The graphics were great for their time.The characters had good body tone and facial structure and texture.
The fighting environments provided a good mixture of environments such as the urban ghetto,on rooftops,in the forest,science labs and on a tropical island.
I like the costume designs for the characters on Tekken 3.Jin has the black pants with firey patterns.Paul has his martial artist or bikie outfit and flattop.Eddy with his dredlocks and beach weather style clothes.King wears his mask,and Heihaichi looked so mean and serious,even with his bald patch and spikey hair on the sides.
The cinematics showed the story elements in an enjoyable way and showed interesting things about the characters.
At the menu screen,you'll hear a serious voice inviting you to the Tekken tournament and the fighting announcer sounds intense and it makes you feels like you're in a brutal tournament.
The sound effects match the moves well,a jab sounds like a smack while a powerful blow sounds like a hard thump.
You'll hear Kuma growl occasionally and sometimes you can hear what sounds like bones breaking from grappling moves.
Overall-This is the most enjoyable Tekken game for me and got me into the series.
