About Tekken
Tekken assigns a button to each of a fighter's limbs rather than to attack strength, which distinguishes it from every other major fighting series. It has run continuously since 1994 and is a fixture of tournament play. Bandai Namco has developed it in-house since 1994, and its director has run the series for its entire history, which is unusual for a franchise of that age.
