No fireballs or energy explosions or anything like that. Silber also appeared as a hidden mid-boss in King of Fighters XI, but his fighting style lacks anything really bombastic. At the end of the game’s big MMA tournament, when the player is ready to face his fellow finalist, your opponents’s busted carcass is instead knocked through the entranceway like a punted football. Coming from the lesser-known fighter Buriki One, Silber is a Victor Creed-looking urban legend who is obsessed with increasing his power and challenging worthy opponents. SNK shamelessly ripped off Akuma, but at least the studio did it with style. It took two more games for him to finally get his head on straight. Jin, suffering from his own possession problems, went and took over the Mishima Zaibatsu and started a world war as part of an elaborate plan to commit suicide by putting a giant target on his back. The tragedy is that, in the end, he was killed by his great-grandson Jin, but Jin came out of it learning the wrong lesson. His ending cutscene even has him cry blood over this because he’s that hardcore. In Tekken 5, he takes over the Mishima Zaibatsu and sets up a new King of the Iron Fist tournament ASAP just so somebody strong might be able to kill him before he completely loses control and wipes out all life on the planet. That doesn’t make for a good boss design. And he’s possessed by a demon because why the hell not.īut really, the reason he’s possessed is because otherwise he’s the one member of the bloodline who isn’t a jerk. Jin, they decided to go further and bring in Heihachi’s dad. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the lore of the series, but after doing a game about Heihachi vs. I think this is the moment when Tekken’s story started going off the rails.
