Tekken is as real as it gets and there are historical facts to prove it!
The purpose of this page is both to help all
Tekken players to be educated (so they won't blame us for playing all day
instead of studying!) and, to clarify some falsehoods of global history as we
knew it (but not well enough for the exams, right?)
On with the questions then...
Question: Who discovered America in 1492?
That is in fact a tricky question, for those aware of the debate. Some say it
was Yoshimitsu in his spacecraft, others think it was a Spanish sailor, by the
name Cervantes de Leon, the first man to sail around the world... well, before
he turned to a ghost.
Question: Who invented nuclear power?
Answer: A Russian scientist, referred to as Doctor Boskonovitch. The same
scientist is known for his successes in cyber kinetics and robots...

At the same time in Europe...

Global history

the Civil War?

And for some facts...
Fact: The Statue of Liberty is a tribute to the overseen female Mishimas as a form of compassion for sharing ugly hair...
Question: Who founded Greenpeace?
Answer: Jun Kazama, who is currently holding a park for extinct species of
life...
Fact: In Jun Kazama's park for the extinct species, you can see the last remaining dinosaur! Alex has succesfully completed... 96 years of life and it is estimated he will last a few hundred more...
Fact: Another specimen worth seeing is the last
Neanderthal man. This almost human being, named Paul Phoenix, is showing great
adaptability even though he lacks the intelligence and refinement of the rest of
us...
(note from Sapfarah: before I give the wrong ideas, I have nothing against Paul. I even think he was
sexy in Tekken 2!)
Contemporary history
Fact: Lei Wulong is the #1 police enforcer in all of China. He was especially remembered for the uncovering of the Mishima Syndicate and a few corrupt detectives of Interpol.
Fact: Lei Wulong received great help from Lee Chaolan, a fugitive who managed to escape the Mishima Syndicate.
Fact: Aliens exist! After Yoshimitsu's spaceship
crushed in the coast of America (remember that he discovered it!), Yoshimitsu
survived and teleported to Japan, where he found the Manjito clan...
That fact is an uncovered X-files case of Japan.
Fact: Dead bodies can be brought back to life and turned into super soldiers. That is the illegal work of doctor Abel, who made the breakthrough in artificial limbs!
