Here's the PSX Tekken FAQ for all you proud Sony Playstation owners who own
this incredible arcade translation. Many improvements have been made over
the original arcade version in such areas as speed, graphics, animation and
gameplay. There are a total of 18 characters to choose from, all featuring
creatively different costumes and special moves. This FAQ is derived from
the the arcade Tekken FAQ published by Slycer. All moves in here have been
verified and notated in the easiest way to pull them off. This version is
to celebrate the release of Tekken in the US, hopefully this FAQ will enhance
your gaming experience with Tekken.
Changes since last version:
- Inclusion of combo section (which includes ground/air):
- Kazuya
- Paul
- Law
- Yoshimitsu
- Heihachi
- Nina
- Anna
- Armor King
(note that these combo moves have not been verified so please email me if
you have consistent problems in executing these combos)
Towards the end of the 20th century, a mysterious challenge went out to
all who were deserving. No one knows from where it originated, but its
draw was irresistible. The promise of power and riches beyond those
attainable by the common man all to go to the survivor. From the depths
of the lower earth to the far reaches of the outlands the call escaped
no one. Many perished during the mortal street fights that were only a
preview of the challenges that were to come. Only 8 remain, those with
the true killer instinct, all ready to die, to gain the title of "TEKKEN",
"Lord of the Rave War."

10-Attack Strings:
The 10-Attack Strings are a series of punch/kick attacks characters
can execute. If successfully executed, these attacks can do a
considerable amount of damage on your opponent. However, they can
be escaped, blocked, or counter-attacked (i.e.while your in a 10-
hitter, your opponent might be able to perform a throw move on you)
Variations can be performed on the attack strings, yet you must
follow the notated moves in this faq to achieve the full 10 hits.
These attacks are impressive to witness and hard to block if part
of the string connects as moves very from high to low attacks.
Unblockable Attacks:
These attacks generally take a while to execute, which allows your
opponent to knock you out of it's execution. If they do connect,
these attacks cannot be blocked and do considerable damage. The
amount of damage is variable when your playing in the 2-player mode
where handicaps can be adjusted.
Hard Pounces:
Normally to execute a pounce attack, you just hit U + RP when your
opponent is on the ground. This causes you to automatically jump
into the air and land on your opponent with a pounce attack that is
usually different from your character's regular ground punch while
jumping. When normal pounces tend to "home in" on the opponent to
some extent, heavy pounces have a set range, which is rather short,
so you must aim correctly if you want to hit the them. Also, hard
pounces can be done any time, even if they're not on the ground.
If you do a hard pounce while your opponent is just standing there,
expect to get hit. Hard pounces are also slower than normal pounces,
so your opponent has more time to recover before you hit, and there
is a greater lag time for you after doing a heavy pounce, giving
your opponent more time to retaliate.
Throws:
As most games, all throws must be performed at a very close range.
Many people have accused Tekken of being cheap because so many throw
type moves are included in the game. I feel that this makes for much
more strategic game play and although every player has two basic
throw moves (LP/LK, RP/RK), the more elaberate throws are harder to
pull off in the heat of battle against good players. It's very easy
to see if someone's trying to pull a throw on you, most characters
will be attempting to 'grab' at the air. It's very easy to hit or
counter- throw them at this point when their unsuccessful grab is
relaxing and pulling back to their body. Executing a throw move
while your opponent is performing a jumping attack will cause them
to be "bounced" back onto the ground unhurt, with their jumping
attack and your throw attack unsuccessful (damage-wise).
(note: possible with Double Jumping Kick as well [UF(tap) + LK, RK])

Players are welcomed with a game of Galaga while the CD is loading
(as Namco did with Galaxian in Ridge Racer). You will be presented
with a Challenge Stage in which you must shoot 40 enemies before
advancing to the next Bonus Stage, there are 8 total. The X button
is your normal fire button while the top (triangle) button functions
as an 'autofire'. If you miss shooting all 40, you may repeat the
stage by pressing Select. If you press select at the end of the 8th
stage, you will be returned to the 1st stage again. Once you complete
all 8 Challenge Stages the game will begin loading, if you have a
memory card in your PSX at this stage, it will automatically load
your saved game at this point. Note: You will gain access to Devil
Kazuya if you defeat Galaga with a minimum of one continue. This is
best done if you clear the opening stage in 18.5 seconds or under,
which will grant you another ship (double shooter). You still need
to keep a pattern down for the next levels to be successful, and if
you do continue once at any point, you retain the second ship.
Additional: To automatically start with dual ships in Galaga just
press and hold the up(d-pad), L1, triangle, and cross buttons while
the PSX is powering up on the player 2 controller. You will then
begin Galaga with the dual ships.
CG Cinemas:
There are two basic FMV intros to the game, one introducing all the
characters in their native environment (Michelle running through the
desert, Paul riding a motorbike, King in a chapel, etc.), the other
being an action profile on Kazuya. Only the 8 normal characters
feature ending CG sequences once they defeat Heihachi Mishima.
(note: these will be added in the next version)
Using Bosses:
All bosses can be accessed once defeated, this is done quickly and
easily by turning the difficulty setting in the Options screen to
"Easy". Each character has his/her own mid-level boss with Heihachi
Mishima being the last. You will gain access to them once you defeat
the mid-level boss and Heihachi, weither you use continues doesn't
matter. The bosses will then be accessible to either the left of
Yoshimitsu or the right of Michelle in the Arcade mode. In the two
player mode, it will be displayed as a long list of names. To access
Heihachi, you must defeat him and all the characters before him
without using continues, you may use any character in doing so. The
opponents for Heihachi are all the mid level bosses, with his Boss
being Devil Kazuya. To access Devil Kazuya, you must defeat Galaga
(see above) and while only in 'Arcade' mode, position your selection
on 'Kazuya' and press 'Start' instead of a punch/kick. The following
are the Boss assignments:
PLAYER MID BOSS FINAL BOSS
------ -------- ----------
Kazuya Mishima Lee Chow Lang -+
Paul Phoenix Kuma |
Marshall Law Wang Gin Lei |
Nina Williams Anna Williams |-- Heihachi Mishima

View Options:
There are 3 different views to choose from during play. As soon as
[Select View] appears, pressing 'Select' will change views from a
Side View to a 3/4 view, and then to an extreme overhead 3/4 view if
pressed again.
Optional Listed Names Feature in Arcade Mode:
If for some reason you prefer to look at a list of names to choose
from in the Arcade mode instead of the portraits of each character,
you can do so by pressing both L1 and R1 on top of the controller
simutaneously before and while your selecting "Arcade" from the title
screen.
Devil Kazuya cannot be selected in this mode, only in 'Arcade' mode.
The Handicap meter that appears when you select a character can be
adjusted by moving your joypad left/right. Decreasing the stars to
the left will make your attacks more damaging, while increasing the
stars to the right will do the opposite, making your attacks less
damaging.
To exit the 2-Player mode (also Arcade mode or during any match),
just simutaneously press 'Start' and 'Select'. This will bring you
to the title screen.
There are five difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard, and
Ultra Hard. Warning: Ultra Hard may be hazardous to your health! };>
Fight Count:
Determines the number of rounds you must win to defeat your opponent.
Settings allow you to choose any round from 1 to 5.
Note: With the fight count set to "1", this is considered the
"time-attack" mode for the game to try and beat all the bosses in
shortest amount of time. My personal best being 1'21"43 using Ganryu.
Round Time:
The amount of time a round lasts. Selections are from 20, 30, 40,
50, or 60 seconds and Infinite.
Speaker Out:
Settings for Mono (yuck) or Stereo (yea!).
BSM Select:
Allows you to choose from the 'Original' arcade music (yuck) to the
great PSX 'Arrange' selections. Also featured is a 'Silent' mode
which is especially great for those bone-cracking moves.
2P Game Wins Shown By:
Your choice of Numbers (boring) or Fruit (ala PacMan).
Character Change At Continue:
When turned to 'Yes' this allows you to change characters when you
lose in 'Arcade' mode. Otherwise 'No' will only allow you to choose
the character you started with in 'Arcade' mode.
Key Configuration:
This allows you to modify the assignment of your controller buttons.
Preset 1: Square = LP / Triangle = RP / X = LK / Circle = RK
Preset 2: L1 = LP / R1 = RP / L2 = LK / R2 = RK
Preset 3: Square = LP / Triangle = RP / X = LK / Circle = RK
L1 = LP = LK / R1 = RP + RK
L2 = LK + RK / R2 = LP + RP
Note: All missing character stories will be added in a future versions.
Costumes can be selected by pressing either the punch or kick buttons.
LP/RP = Costume 1
LK/RK = Costume 2
Kazuya Mishima: Japanese
---------------
Kazuya is a scuffle Karate Fighter with an even temperament and a
cool head. He's the legitimate heir to the Mishima financial empire,

LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:
--------------------------
Since Tekken is about to be released in the US, there will likely be new
discoveries on combos and such... if you have something to contribute,
please do so by listing moves using the same technique as presented in
this FAQ. I also realize that there are several Tekken strategy guides
in Japan, if you have access to these that features moves not found in
this FAQ, or correct move names, please email me.
check out the latest Game Players for a rip-off variation of my FAQ as
well as other zines that are now featuring Tekken guides (wow, it's only
been available on the PSX for over half a year just as long as my FAQ's
been out), but why pay for it when you can get it for free? hell, here's
my plug not buy any of the outdated trash you'll find on the shelves...
there's always enough time to flip at the newsstand, long live the net.
