My favourite insane part of Tekken lore is Paul and Kuma have a generational rivalry and continuously fight each other in the earlier rounds of the KOIF tournaments - even after Kuma dies of old age and his son takes over the name, he still continues to want to stick his thumb in Paul's eyes.

Great to see King included in this. As a member of the King Kommunity (We aren't stealing Mortal Kombat's idea) I think you should make another video chronicling the life and times of King and Armor King detailing all the wacky highjinx they get up to, like death.

Jin then steals the win Tekken 4: LOSES TO KUMA II Tekken 5: Beats Kuma II but the forfiets due to injuries gained from fighting a bear as a 48 year old Tekken 6: No recorded wins in this one but it was happening during a war and was cancelled, so... Tekken 7: Beats Panda. We don't know who else he beat or how far he got we do know he recieved a small share of prize money so probably quite high
