#Tekken 1 game series#
There were no black women in the series until Master Raven in Tekken 7. For me, Tekken is the gold standard in terms of classic arcade games that went out of its way to show a diversity of female characters.ĭiversity here is a relative term. Sometimes it’s Michelle and Julia Chang, archaeologist and scientist respectively, trying to take down the Mishima Zaibatsu. Sometimes it’s Jun Kazama taking a bus to the middle of the woods.
And we get to see what that sunset looks like for them. They battle through a dozen or so fights of three rounds, usually ending with a supernatural near-unbeatable boss, and then they walk off into the sunset. Nobody ever enters Iron Fist for the money or the heck of it. In Tekken, every character is on their own hero’s journey, in which they enter the Iron Fist tournament, usually because they need to confront someone, get something or stop something. You fight and grind with one character for hours to unlock 30 seconds of story, so you can add that to a scrapbook of other 30-second clips, most of which make almost no sense, but need to be pieced together as part of the wider narrative. It’s soap opera, anime, drama, toy commercial. Tekken is the very definition of “a lot”. They go from the playfully combative, quasi-erotic dynamic in Tekken 1, to Dynasty-style dramatics in Tekken 2, lurching forward to a sci-fi plot in Tekken 3 where both sisters are put under cryo-sleep and Nina’s eggs are harvested to help create her son, Steve Fox, to Tekken 4, where a memory-wiped Nina is contracted to kill the son she doesn’t know she has, and spares him at the last moment. Photograph: Bandai NamcoĪs the years went on, I watched her rivalry with her sister Anna through 30-second clip scenes that were earned through beating the game with either character, often showing two sides of the same interaction. Soap opera, drama, anime … the graveyard scene ending in Tekken 2. It wasn’t just that she was Irish – although I remember gasping the moment I read that in the Tekken 2 booklet, it being the first time I had anything in common with a woman from a video game – it was that I felt as if I knew things about her. But growing up, Nina Williams was by far my favourite character, which naturally made Tekken my favourite two-player title. Street Fighter’s Chun-Li is the first lady of the fighting genre (the Princess Leia buns, the thighs that launched a thousand “crushed to death” fetishes) and, although Peach wins the popular vote, no one has ever come close to stealing Lara Croft’s crown when it comes to overall iconic omnipresence. In conversations around classic female video games characters, she often gets overlooked. This is one of the more conservative story endings for Nina Williams, a much-beloved combatant in the Tekken series of fighting games. They walk past one another, visibly tense in blocky 1996 animation, and decide to let the feud rest. The brunette smiles faintly and reassures the blonde that she’s not here to fight. She whips around, pulls out her gun and finds a brunette woman of roughly her own age. After a quiet moment, she places flowers on the ground, then hears the crunch of gravel behind her.
