Considered by many to be the best game in the Tekken series, Tekken 3 brings many improvements from its predecessors, such as significantly more detailed graphics and animation, a much bigger character roster, and more fast and fluid gameplay.
What's more, this is the first entry in the series to feature Tekken Force, a beat 'em up game mode where you take on soldiers while eating some delicious chicken you see lying on the ground.
Unplayable Characters#
The following characters are not playable through normal means, requiring a cheat device in order to access them.
All of them use Paul's ending movie when finishing the arcade mode.
Crow, Hawk, Owl, and Falcon#
The Tekken Force Soldiers from the Tekken Force mode, they all share the same moveset, the moveset itself is very limited although all of their moves are strong and do hefty damage, they have a dropkick intro that will always hit the opponent before the match starts although it triggers randomly.
While Hawk, Owl and Falcon have unique names on the versus screen, their life-bar will still call them "Crow", however Owl's life-bar name will be displayed as "Cro"
Wild Card#

Anna's Japanese ending was changed and censored for the western releases. In the Japanese version, Nina and Anna are laying next to a hotel pool, three guys are showing off their muscles to them, and Nina ignores them by looking away. One of the guys forcibly grabs her by the wrist, makes her stand up, and starts showing off. The scene switches to Anna showing off her body to the other two guys, Nina looks at her, gets angry, releases herself from the first guy who is still holding her by the wrists, walks over to Anna and unhooks her bikini top. Anna is left covering her breasts in shame as Nina walks away smiling to the camera.

The scene switches to Anna showing off her body to two of the guys, then she starts to walk away with the ogling guys while passing in front on Nina, who is left with a bewildered look on her face. Then Anna is seen walking towards the camera, smiling from all the attention she's getting from the guys.
