Since 1994, the Tekken series has been the top 3-D fighting franchise.

Sure, Dead or Alive and Soul Calibur are still hanging around, but no fighting game franchise matches Tekken for its perfect blend of fighting, flash, and flawless play control.

Tekken has always placed its characters front and center. The characters' command lists are varied and unique, and their fighting styles are clearly distinguishable from one another. The developers
have also done an amazing job of characterization. We never need to be told about these characters instead, their body language shows us whether they are suave or awkward, indifferent or flirtatious.

Today,we're counting down the Top 20 Tekken Characters of All Time - the fighters who make us remember them through ability, frame data, charisma, and sex appeal. Get ready for the next battle!
