Characters
See also: List of Tekken charactersAs the game was made to be a compilation of previous games, the game include nearly every character from the original Tekken up to Tekken 3, including those who were canonically missing in the current canonical game Tekken 3, such as Baek Doo San, Jun Kazama, and Bruce Irvin. All of these characters are given improved moveset and animations to make them on par with the current characters.
Additionally, the game adds two new characters, all of them being mimic characters: Tetsujin, a metallic version of Mokujin, and Unknown, a mysterious woman who was controlled by the "Forest Demon" who also serves as the final boss of this game. Although Tetsujin was never featured in any other Tekken game, Unknown appeared in the sequel of this game, Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
The only absent characters in the game that were playable in previous entries of the series are the original Jack, King I, Kuma Sr., Marshall Law, Dr. Boskonovitch and Gon. Boskonovitch, however, makes a cameo appearance in the Tekken Bowl mode as a spectator.

“Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.”
