TEKKEN 5 (PS2, 2005)
The ending
Hey, take your pick from Tekken 5’s majestic selection of slick, goofball end sequences. We’ve picked Marshall Law’s here. After using his fight winnings to pay off a debt, he’s handed a bill for wrecking Paul Phoenix’s motorbike. It sends him into a psychopathic panic, resulting in the daftest scrap ever.
Huh?!
See, the thing about fighting games is that they don’t really have an ending. You won the tournament! Huzzah. Sure, there are some sibling rivalries, grudges and ego-clashes to clear up, but there’s no logical conclusion for most characters. Hence the wealth of eccentric endings (see Dead or Alive 4 ). You want more? Here’s Paul Phoenix, dooming the earth to alien invasion.
And, just to really ram the point home, here’s what happens when you leave a bear (Kuma) in charge of a corporation.
