So here I am, stealing SJBs idea yet again.
But this time it won't be the exact same thing he wanted to do... so I hope.
Top ten Tekken characters.
Some changes have been made to the top ten, seeing as I remembered a few characters I forgot earlier.
First of all, I chose ten, because there are not enough characters in the Tekken series, to have twenty of them and all of them be worth mentioning, around fourteen or fifteen those unmemorable but still alright characters come in.
Starting with the top ten:
10
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100425120302/tekken/en/images/8/8d/T1_Jack.jpg
JACK/JACK-2/P. JACK/GUN-JACK/JACK-5/JACK-6
All different names for pretty much the same character. Yes there were some slight tweaks here and there, but the fighting style is the same.
JACK is a robot created by the Mishima Zaibatsu, and he is powerful
His fighting style consists heavily of high powered moves, that move sort of slow.

Lei Wulong
Lei Wulong is a super cop. He is kind of similar to Jackie Chan.
As for his story, he is pretty much always trying to arrest someone. He is always making jokes, or the butt of a joke. While pretty much providing comic relief, he is still pretty cool.
His fighting style is quick, and utilizes a variety of stances to beat the opponent while being unpredictable.

Kazuya Mishima
The son of Heihachi Mishima. He is mad at Heihachi. Why? Because Heihachi was a total dick and threw him down a ravine, saying that his son would survive. This nearly killed the young Kazuya, and he made a deal with the devil, in exchange for his soul, Kazuya could live and get revenge.
Kazuya is a bit faster and weaker than Heihachi, and he is good, seeing as Heihachi is unbelievably fast and strong.

Nina Williams
The only Tekken character t have a game made entirely about them, she is pretty cool. She was raised in Ireland and trained as an assassin early in life. Those looks don't hurt her case either.
Hates Anna
She specializes in kicks and is really good at grappling.

Yoshimitsu
Ah.. Yoshimitsu, a freak. One of the few Tekken characters who's style is not based on a real style, and the only character based on a real person. Yoshimitsu is based on one of the pioneers of ninjutsu, sharing the same name.
Think of Yoshimitsu as a robotic zombie ninja, because that is what he is. He can kill himself, fly using his sword, use his sword as a pogo stick, sit on the ground and meditate, and kick everyone's ass while doing so.
It seems unfair to have a guy with a sword in Tekken games, but he isn't easy to play as so it works out.

Marshall Law
He is Bruce Lee. No disputing that.
In every game he appears in, he either has a costume that resembles something that Bruce Lee wore in a movie, or can be customized to have that appearance.
Basically he is a fighting chef, and he just needs to pay his bills most of the time.
His fighting style is described simply as "Martial Arts" as a joke, but it is the style of Kung Fu know as Jeet Kune Do, the same as Bruce Lee.
He is fast, and can pull some amazing combos, and he isn't really friendly for button mashing. Sure you can do something, but it's not like Eddy where you can win just by randomly pressing buttons.

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080610183506/tekken/en/images/8/8d/King_tekken.jpg
King
King is technically two different characters at different points in the series, but basically the same anyway.
A Pro wrestler who wears a cheetah mask. He is awesome.
He was trained by Armor King.
Focuses on grappling, can do combos of grappling moves and throws, with a famous ten grab combo.

Sergei Dragunov
I know you are wondering why I have such a new character at such a high spot. Well, I just think he is cool and fits right into the Tekken crowd.
Sergei Dragunov is a Russian SS type, and his story is left rather enigmatic.
All we know is that his mission is to capture Devil Jin and Jinpachi Mishima.
He doesn't speak, but he occasionally grunts upon being hit.
His style is rather unique. Very fast and focused on grappling moves. It is described as Russian Sambo. He also uses grappling techniques like that of the common military concepts used in hand to hand combat. Many of his combos actually turn into grappling moves, and a good portion of his grappling moves are unable to be broken. This guy is good.

Ganryu
A sumo wrestler perma-banned from the sport when caught fixing matches in his favor. He was hired by Heihachi, and also fell in love with Michelle Chang. His story isn't all that interesting if you ask me, but I just like the character.
Like a good sumo wrestler, his style focuses on jabs and controlling the movements of the opponent, he is really fun to play as once you get the hang of it.

Heihachi Mishima
Heihachi Mishima is an old guy. By Tekken 6 he is over seventy years old. And he can still kick everyone's ass.
He appeared in the PS2 version of Soulcalibur II, and despite being old and not having a weapon, he was still able to kick everyone's ass.
The initial head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, he started the whole tournament thing.
He has the best hair and mustache ever, and even as they've toned it down, it is still awesome.
He starts out as the villain, and is never a good guy.
He threw his son Kazuya off a cliff.
He adopted a Chinese boy and took him under his wing, just to piss Kazuya off.
He is also the only Mishima to not have some evil demon form. Jinpachi did, Kazuya did, Jin did, and Heihachi didn't.
Heihachi beat a ton of JACKs and even survived a giant explosion. He is just unstoppable.
Heihachi is one of the best characters in the entire series, and is faster and more powerful than just about anyone. He is hard to beat, and relatively easy to play as. He can be played both cheaply and fairly, and be able to win either way.
The Worst:

Roger/Alex
Neither one of them is there own character in the games. They are always together, one of them is chosen by pressing the punch buttons, and the other is chosen by the kick buttons.
I don't personally find anything fun about playing as either of them, and they are just super genetically engineered animals.
They pretty much fight like every fictional kangaroo ever. Not boxing, but not kick boxing either.

Alisa Bosconovitch
Really, what we needed was another robot.
This one has chainsaw hands. And sure turning your hands into chainsaws and cutting people up is fun for a bit, it just gets old.
Her style is unbelievably cheap, with her chainsaw hands she can do severe damage.
Oh, she can also remove her head. That just isn't cool.
I am also tired of cute, yet impossibly powerful girls in video games.

http://imm.io/media/1h/1hmz.jpg
Lee Chaolan
Heihachi's adoptive son. A silver haired, feminine man similar in appearance to Raiden from MGS2. He is fast and very cheap.
He has an infinite kick combo, and he specializes in forcing the opponent against a wall so they can no longer evade.
He is also overpowered.
In his defense, he has a funny ending in Tekken 5.

Dr. Boskonovitch
This guy fails. Most of his moves are based on other characters, and he falls down all the time. None of these copied moves are as good as the normal character's.
He was the creator of the JACKs, Bryan Fury, Yoshimitsu's robot suit, Roger, Alex and Alisa.
All he ever cares about is Alisa, he just wants to fix Alisa. It gets old.

Mokujin
Every round a different character.
Not fun to play as because of this.
He is a possessed training dummy, brought to life first by Ogre's presence, and then the presence of Jinpachi, and again because of Azazel. Every time there is evil, he is magically awakened to save the day.
He is a joke character, but he is still not cool.
But this time it won't be the exact same thing he wanted to do... so I hope.
