A Visual History of the Tekken Series

Few fighting games endure the assault of their competitors for decades at a time. What started as a simple arcade game and PSone adaptation in the early '90s has evolved into a franchise filled with well-loved fighters, films, and spin-offs.

With the recent launch of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, we wanted to put together a few snapshots through time of the Tekken series. This fighter has fought its way across numerous platforms and has taken on different looks with each step. See how the King of Iron Fist Tournament has changed over the years below as we celebrate the awesome -- and often odd -- life of Tekken.

Brian Altano kicks it at IGN. The thought of giant pandas fighting in a martial arts tournament alarms him greatly, and upsets his hip-hop sensibilities. Follow him on Twitter.

Ryan Clements writes for IGN and always gets his ass kicked in Tekken. He'd rather watch this music video on repeat instead. Follow him here on IGN or over on Twitter.
