Of course. In Tekken 4, Paul Phoenix is going to the 4th King of Iron Fist Tournament to face his rival Kazuya Mishima in 20 years. But instead, Paul found the 2nd Kuma who knocked him down.
@@ahmadansari642 well his story and ending are not canon unfortunately and he was serious unlike the other games plus fighting Kuma is like fighting a mishima pet
Some aren't happy with what I did here, but it's to give Law his due, he's a beast people seem to forget, Paul gets his hay day by defeating the god of fighting Ogre, I didn't want to just feed him to Kazuya and then that's the end of it. Paul and Law deserve good story arcs no?
Harada gave us the will you press it button Paul's phoenix punch will keep on being satisfyingly strong but he will become a joke character in future tekken story
Agreed I hate that they made Paul and law buffoons after Tekken 3 I’m not saying you can’t have any humor but it’s damn right offensive how harada did them so with that said you rewriting their story is much appreciated I just saw your Nina. Video I hope you do every Tekken character lol
I love how you retconned his T1 story, he managed to make it to the finals and faced Kazuya but he was ultimately defeated, hence Kazuya facing Heihachi and won.
This is the kind of fanfiction I like: an actual story that enriches the existing lore by fleshing out more some characters that don't receive too much spotlight in the original works.
After defeating his father Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima became the new owner of the Mishima Zaibatsu. I just hope Paul Phoenix was looking to have a rematch with Kazuya someday.
Paul deserves a more positive outlook, considering he's one of the most powerful fighter. Thanks for doing this to a character who's career went downhill.
This is absolutely amazing. Now imagine if BAMCO did a story mode like this for every character in like TTT3. But in the style of Tekken 8’s story mode.
There's so much potential with the story of tekken series, so quirky and unique. I just enjoy the character relationships and how they all interact and all converge in the Tournaments. BAMCO have messed around with it here and there just not in a canon way, Tekken 8 was so good how it included all the characters.
@@blakenapier3125 what are you talking about? I'm just saying that I'm surprised that he used the Tekken 4 and 5 narrator/announcer like in the actual game
Tekken is my ALL time favorite fighting series. So much so, that I even refuse to give other fighting games a chance. I’m so grateful that you gave Tekken its due love
Paul lost to Kazuya in the Tekken tournament and didn't lost to Law in the canon, however the overall presentation how the story is told is great, this is the Paul we know on the early Tekken games the more confident yet not an idiot which in the later Tekken series made him up to be along with Law. Tekken 4 was the real Paul Phoenix not the goof we have right now, overall he's still one of the top players in the game.
Actually this lore is modified more to even to having Paul come to a draw with Kazuya outside of a tournament match. In canon, he caught Kazuya in the first tournament and only then, he had a draw match in the tournament. In the second tournament, he had to forfeit a match because of traffic jam.
Paul was a fan of Bear Killer Willy Williams as a kid, that's why he started to fight since young. And later he takes occasional work as a bouncer. So here he doesn't face Kazuya in the tournament? They did fight each other again, in the first tournament, but he lost against Kazuya. Nice video by the way.
I changed it slightly to give law and Paul a bit more of a story arc, Dw I’m aware Paul fights Kazuya in the first tournament, wait til Law’s episode, Paul will feature in that. I aim to flesh out the story a little bit, there will be a big payoff in the finale episodes. These episodes in this series are meant to be interconnected. Just something interesting I’m trying. 👍
Paul Phoenix is so Underrated to me. I love the idea of the Brash American Stereotype being capable of hidden depths. I always imagined him as a kid who had Posters of Martial Art Legends on his Walls. I'd really like to see more character Lore with My Choices being Steve Fox and Bryan Fury
I can’t wait! Make more like about the first King, the second King, Nina Williams, Anna Williams, Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, Lee Chaolan, Michelle Chang, Jun Kazama, Marshall Law, Bruce Irvin, Bryan Fury, Baek Doo San, Hwoarang, Kunimistu, Yoshitmitsu, Armour King, Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, Kuma, Eddy Gordo, Jack, Lei Wulong, Wang Jinrei, Ganryu, Craig Marduk etc etc! Do your best! 👍🏻
@@lydiamcgowan2125 The plan is to cover the first tournament and everyone who competes before moving on to tekken 2, Williams sisters next, so stay tuned 🙂
I want Jin Kazama lore story. He was proving to be much stronger than his father Kazuya Mishima, grandfather Heihachi Mishima & great-grandfather Jinpachi Mishima.
And you kept this continuity change going into the Jack video. You're as consistent with your retcons as Harada himself! I can't complain though, I've been wanting to give Law his dues since Tekken 5! Just give him a heavy check and his entire life opens up for greatness!
Thanks, I love the characters of this series and always loved how their stories explained why they are competing, and also how characters stories sometimes crossover and interact, I’ll cover each character and attempt to make sense of the actual tournament brackets of who wins and who loses before moving on to the next game. Hope you enjoy the journey! 👊
Paul was suppose to be the "Ken" but Namco just ruined his character. They could have diverted from that concept without him having a clown personality now.
I'm trying to give him a mix of the happy go lucky personality along with a more serious contender personality, I mean he beat Ogre, he's one of the strongest characters in the series, I hope you are okay with him losing to Law in this, Law is no slouch either, I feel like Law deserves a win after what they did to him in Tekken 8 so it's only fair seeing as Paul goes on to be largely undefeated in the later tournaments.
@@TheLoresmith No all is good, I don't really care whether he loses or not. The personality change starting from Tekken 5 is what made Paul unlikeable. He became the generic portrayal of americans by the east asian countries.
Then Paul meet his true powerful rival who Paul thought twice then many years later died then. that rival passed on the rivarly passed down to his son that offspring. What well trained in the martial arts was the son just like his father.
It feels like my birthday Lmao This is unbelievably well done and utterly enjoyable. Congratulations and thank you for this awesome gift lmao can’t wait to see Lee’s and Kazuya’s!!
I remember that. After his parents died, Lee Chaolan was adopted by Heihachi Mishima. As Lee grows up, he learned some martial arts skills while getting into a family business. Lee also trained Paul Phoenix & Marshall Law to become the cool fighters I known today. At the 1st King of Iron Fist Tournament, Lee learned of his adopted brother Kazuya Mishima was seeking revenge on Heihachi for killing Kazuya's mother Kazumi Mishima & throwing Kazuya off the cliff. When Kazuya beats 7 opponents, he made it to the semifinals where he met Lee. Kazuya proved to be much stronger as he defeated his adopted brother. Heihachi called Lee worthless as he faced his son Kazuya in a final battle. But unfortunately, Kazuya defeated Heihachi with his devilish strength & throw him off the cliff. Kazuya became the new owner of the Mishima Zaibatsu as he smiled.
Wow i love it when you put native languages in this video, it shows how great tekken can be without kazuya speaks in his language without speaking english, good job
@@TheLoresmiththat’s the beauty of video games. It’s fantastical and why not have everyone understand each other in their native languages? It’s as awesome getting punched and kicked a billion times and still standing up. Hahaha
Damn attention to detail here is very astounding. You could really help out a lot of people who are just starting Tekken and don’t really know the details of the characters. I’m hoping you can do this for every character. 👍🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
This is awesome, it took me a second to realize that most of this probably is done with the help of an AI, art and voices. The different art illustrations for characters throws me off but feels authentic to Tekken as they always slightly redesign the character models.... Awesome job! Like one for King, Law, and Kazuya next.
This is fire dude, what you done here is insane , a mix of influences and media content to make justice for all those characters ,this is quality dude, keep that passion for narrative and take it so far as you can, as a TEKKEN fan , this is full circle, this is 🔥 keep it up 🔥.
This was so sick. I hope you keep up the Tekken content! Especially if you do every character. I can't wait until you reach Tekken 2 and start covering Lei! Keep up the good work!
Paul Phoenix, the ultimate underdog that was always this close to getting his due. The original non-Mishima rival. Sorry, Hwoarang. Now he's still a rival with a Mishima. Granted, that Mishima is Kuma, but I digress. Strongest in the Universe!
Yeah Paul’s arc from t1 to t3 is awesome he’s treated like a proper contender which is what I’m trying to portray here, came from the streets ends up against the god of fighting and wins. I actually enjoy Kuma’s character to be fair, the second Kuma that is, he makes me laugh every time he’s on screen 😂
Paul: What!? First bears, now four armed giants!?? Goro: You face the champion of Shokan! Paul: Four arms won't be enough to take down the toughest in the universe!!
I created a tournament bracket that I’ll put on the channel to hopefully show you guys where I’m going with this and why matchups happen the way they do. I’m creating a cohesive tournament arc that fleshes out the characters and shows how they interact and deal with wins and loses etc We do know in canon that kazuya wins the first tournament and then later Paul goes largely undefeated in the next two tournaments so he gets his comeback don’t worry! I had him lose here because it allows for growth until he eventually faces ogre. And also opens up a friendly rivalry story arc with law which I think is a cool dynamic between them.
@@TheLoresmith That's great plot twist. It's great to see someone put effort in the story of Paul and Law, beautiful 🤩 Keep going and do your best 🙏 best regards
I had seen and got intrigued on the surface by the Metal Gear video...but its awesome that you are not only tackling Tekken now but also tackled the barely explored lore of good ol' Paul
Was with it until the random loss to Law which never happened in the story. While they don't explain brackets in Tekken 1, they made it clear that Paul was second place in the tournament losing only to Kazuya, with King in third place.
Sorry you feel that way bro, I took a slight creative liberty there yeah, I knew not everyone would like it but I feel like it makes for a more compelling story for him instead of just feeding him to kazuya, gives his character and law’s character more depth and growth through to Tekken 2 and 3 where he becomes so good that he beats the god of fighting ogre carving his own path, kazuya doesn’t care about Paul and in the proper canon, he just loses while kazuya goes on with his more interesting story. Hopefully I can make it up to you when we return to paul’s story!
Paul is not very smart, but I like him a lot because he has a genuine and cheerful personality. I like him even more when I read this backstory because it shows that he is dedicated and hardworking.👍
They could made Paul loudmouth but also hard training and dedicated to his target guy. Instead they made him commedy, and dude with misfortune. And same with Marshall Law. They made Lars and Alisa tough what a joke.
Pauls history seams to be inspired by many 80´s Martial Arts movies like Bloodsport or No Retreat, No Surrender. But I must say his defeat agains Law also gives me a touch of Rocky. Because of his haircut in the first games, my uncle called him "The Brush".
yeah cool parallels you make, Paul's story over the course of the first three games is more interesting for him to have a loss here In my opinion, adds elements to his relationship with law as well as his rivalry with kazuya. the brush will get rematches with them both 😂
Everything is spot on. I really liked your anime video the story is excellent. My favorite is Paul Phoenix, and also my best friend Law. The story is great, but I really want a Tekken movie about Paul! 🔥❤
Paul: Now there's a woman I wouldn't get too close to. Mileena: Afraid I might bite your head off??? Paul: I'd worry more about getting my teeth knocked out if I were you!
@@TheLoresmith It wasn't unwatchable but like other Netflix animes it looked like it was done in only a couple of weeks. Even 1980s Japanese animes were more detailed.
It is possible to tell that most of the artwork was done with AI (background characters sometimes have finger oddities and characters don't have a super consistent face/style)... though I still have to commend trying to use it for a creative endeavor like this.
@@ΦιλήσυχοςΠολίτης Well, I'm going to cover the main characters first, like Nina, Yoshi, Michelle, Law, King and Jack. Kazuya and Heihachi will be covered last as we all know their story, I feel like the characters outside the mishima's deserve the spotlight for a change! And then, if you guys would like to see it, I can do the sub bosses from tekken 1 as well, like Anna, Armor King, Ganryu, Kuma, Lee, Kuni, Wang, P-Jack before moving on to Tekken 2.
@@TheLoresmith I agree with your rationale and I hope we see the whole cast of Tekken 1 before move to 2. I especially would love to read Armour King's summary and then Wang Jinrei's, I feel they would be the most interesting aside from the main cast and pro/antagonist.
your videos are really entertaining, paul has been the main guy i pick since tekken 2, i have mixed feelings about how they handled him in the later games becoming a joke, things are changing, anyways nice work.
Oops, deleted my comment by accident, I was basically saying Paul came from the streets and isn't a fully disciplined fighter yet. He showed potential with the Kazuya draw which is likely through pure brute force, the fight is also cut short, leading to his obsession with fighting Kazuya, the loss to Law adds to Paul's character arc through to Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 where he defeats Ogre the god of fighting making him one of the strongest characters in the series. Also gives Law time to shine for a bit, makes things more interesting. Paul might get a rematch with Law.
The voice over for this reminds me of the voice used in the opening cinematic for Ghost Recon. I honestly think you could pull off a series of that or the original Rainbow Six. Hell, even Ace Combat would be great too.
It's the same narrator voice. Robert Belgrade, he is also known for beign the voice of Alucard in the original versions of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
And tekken 4 was the last time we had a serious Paul....
😩 I wonder why they changed his character like they did.

Of course. In Tekken 4, Paul Phoenix is going to the 4th King of Iron Fist Tournament to face his rival Kazuya Mishima in 20 years. But instead, Paul found the 2nd Kuma who knocked him down.

yeah cool parallels you make, Paul's story over the course of the first three games is more interesting for him to have a loss here In my opinion, adds elements to his relationship with law as well as his rivalry with kazuya. the brush will get rematches with them both 😂
Very cool, buddy. Keep up the good work 👍
Love how he sounds like the narrator of T5 thats pretty dope 👌 💯
The need to add these episodes in T8KKEN
Honestly cool
Everything is spot on. I really liked your anime video the story is excellent. My favorite is Paul Phoenix, and also my best friend Law. The story is great, but I really want a Tekken movie about Paul! 🔥❤
Paul: Now there's a woman I wouldn't get too close to.
Mileena: Afraid I might bite your head off???
Paul: I'd worry more about getting my teeth knocked out if I were you!
Tekken Anime Lore Series >> Netflix Tekken Series
Tekken Bloodline was... ok? Not great, which I know a Tekken anime could be. More focus on the characters.
@@TheLoresmith It wasn't unwatchable but like other Netflix animes it looked like it was done in only a couple of weeks. Even 1980s Japanese animes were more detailed.
@@TheLoresmithtekken bloodline season 2 soon come 2025 tekken 4
This explains a lot about Paul 👍🏼
Will you also include Kazuya Mishima?
Blocking with back turned is insane.
0:12 I see what you did there
Who drew this who animated this, this is amazing
It is possible to tell that most of the artwork was done with AI (background characters sometimes have finger oddities and characters don't have a super consistent face/style)... though I still have to commend trying to use it for a creative endeavor like this.
Sorry if it's too much to ask. But can you try Kazuya, Nina or Michelle?
Sure! I plan on covering all the main characters from Tekken 1 before moving on to Tekken 2. 👍
@@TheLoresmith This is an amazing narration, you earned a subscriber from me and I hope I see more of the older Tekken lore.
@@ΦιλήσυχοςΠολίτης Well, I'm going to cover the main characters first, like Nina, Yoshi, Michelle, Law, King and Jack. Kazuya and Heihachi will be covered last as we all know their story, I feel like the characters outside the mishima's deserve the spotlight for a change!
And then, if you guys would like to see it, I can do the sub bosses from tekken 1 as well, like Anna, Armor King, Ganryu, Kuma, Lee, Kuni, Wang, P-Jack before moving on to Tekken 2.
@@TheLoresmith I agree with your rationale and I hope we see the whole cast of Tekken 1 before move to 2.
I especially would love to read Armour King's summary and then Wang Jinrei's, I feel they would be the most interesting aside from the main cast and pro/antagonist.
superb!
Basically the Tekken version of Ryu and Ken
your videos are really entertaining, paul has been the main guy i pick since tekken 2, i have mixed feelings about how they handled him in the later games becoming a joke, things are changing, anyways nice work.
More of these Tekken files please , we love it
Kazuya Mishima’s story is next!
Very Beautiful !!
So good!
Their friendship was Similar to ryu & ken
I wish you would've included how he came to love motorcycles and him riding one and power punching his way out of a landslide
Love the video but just like Tekken 4 sometimes I have a hard time hearing the narration over the background music. Thanks for the captions
Dude u gotta do more videos...this is sick
Although iirc Paul's voice is higher pitched when he's young, you really did justice to both Paul Phoenix and Marshall Law 👌🏽🙏🏽💯
Cool but why did you make him lose to Law?
Oops, deleted my comment by accident, I was basically saying Paul came from the streets and isn't a fully disciplined fighter yet. He showed potential with the Kazuya draw which is likely through pure brute force, the fight is also cut short, leading to his obsession with fighting Kazuya, the loss to Law adds to Paul's character arc through to Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 where he defeats Ogre the god of fighting making him one of the strongest characters in the series. Also gives Law time to shine for a bit, makes things more interesting. Paul might get a rematch with Law.
A Chuck and Bruce story retold😁
awesome!
The voice over for this reminds me of the voice used in the opening cinematic for Ghost Recon. I honestly think you could pull off a series of that or the original Rainbow Six. Hell, even Ace Combat would be great too.
Tekken 1 and Tekken 4 paul is the best version of himself
Why young Paul looks a lot like Ken Masters! Very stylish this way.
The narrathor voice looks like Tekken 5
same
It's the same narrator voice.
Robert Belgrade, he is also known for beign the voice of Alucard in the original versions of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Please do one on kazuya, king and lee
Yes great history
King please
King next!
Fun fact. Steve O voiced Paul Phoenix
