==============================================================================
The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 draws to a close. Jun Kazama comes to the
stunning realization that Kazuya's supernatural strength stems from Devil. But
she cannot help being drawn to him, propelled by a mystic force beyond her
control.
Several days later, the final challenger arrives to face Kazuya, the organizer
of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. In a reprise of the first Tekken
Tournament, the father and son clash in a cursed blood battle.
Eventually, Heihachi emerges scarred but victorious to regain control of the
immense Mishima Conglomerate. Unaware of Devil's presence, Heihachi casts the
lifeless Kazuya into a fiery volcano.
As Kazuya's body burns, Devil appears before the pregnant Jun Kazama in a bid
to enter the soul of the new life beating within her. But in a desperate
struggle for the future of her child, Jun defeats Devil and retires to
desolate Yakushima so as to raise Kazuya's son, Jin, alone.
Having regained control of the Mishima Conglomerate, Heihachi sets about to
further increase his powers. He embarks on a crusade to win the trust of world
leaders by putting wars and conflicts to rest. Using his immeasurable wealth,
he forms Tekkenshu, a mercenary group employed to quell conflicts efficiently.
He also takes strong interest in the well-being of developing nations by
helping them build agricultural systems that will sustain them.
Through Heihachi's efforts, the world appears to be regaining peace.
Around fifteen years have passed, Jin Kazama is 15 years old now.
Under Heihachi's orders, the Tekkenshu are excavating a Central American
archeological site when they discover a mysterious life form.
Heihachi orders the creature's capture, but loses contact with the Tekkenshu
after a garbled radio message, "... they are all dead... Toshin
(Fighting God)?!..."
Upon arriving at the dig, Heihachi finds a field of corpses. Heihachi is
wracked by sorrow, but also realizes "the power of the mysterious life form
could be the key to my long dormant dream of world domination." To obtain
Toshin, and moreover, the world, Heihachi tempts the fates once again...
Within weeks, strange disappearances occur throughout the world. Persons of
strong soul, masters of martial arts and other derivative fighting disciplines
are reported missing... with no knowledge of their whereabouts.
Jun Kazama instinctively picks up on the dark power encroaching on her life.
She has no understanding of what it is, but senses that she has become a
target. Accepting her destiny, she tells Jin everything she knows of their
haunted past to prepare him for the fateful day she now feels is imminent.
Among her instructions, one is for Jin to go to his grandfather Heihachi if
anything happens to her.
Her intuition proves right on a cold, stormy night. Toshin comes to the
mountains bringing a chilling, swirling wind. "Run away!" cries Jun, Jin opts
to face Toshin against his mother's pleas and is knocked unconscious.
When Jin awakens, the house and everything around it is burned to the ground.
Searching frantically for his mother she is nowhere to be found.
Jun dies at Toshin's hands. Honoring her instructions, Jin goes to Heihachi
and begs to be trained to exact revenge.
Heihachi, hearing Jin's tale, is convinced that Toshin is after the souls of
powerful fighters. To attract Toshin, Heihachi decides to host the King of
Iron Fist Tournament 3.
Four years later, on Jin Kazama's 19th birthday, the curtains rise for the
King of Iron Fist Tournament 3...

Well, after months of hard work, The Tekken 3 Manual: ACT.1 is finally a
reality. This is the first in a series of three guides created to make you a
better player, no matter what your skill level. The idea for this series was
sparked from reading the wonderful Japanese Gamest Mook books, and wishing
there were something similar for American players. After looking around, I
realized there was nothing, so I decided to go for it. What follows is the
result of many months of hard work and research by not only myself, but a
great team of Tekken 3 players and friends. Well, that's about it. Start
reading, and remember this is new... and I am sure there are many corrections
to be made. Feel free to send them to me via, e-mail. Have fun!!!
The Tekken 3 Manual: Act.1 now includes Playstation information, covering all
new characters, and secrets. Be sure to check out www.tekken.net too!!!

The System section is basically designed to teach players how the Tekken 3
engine (system) works. Whether you are an advanced player, or just starting
out, I'm sure there is something in here for you. Take your time getting
accustomed to each of the various gameplay options, in the long run it will
surely pay off.
Many times during this guide you will see the term "frames". The word "frames"
refers to frames of animation. Tekken 3 runs at a smooth 60 frames per second
(fps) and all references to "frames" refers to the number of frames it takes
for a particular move to execute/recover.
==============================================================================
= :: Movement :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SYSTEM :: =
==============================================================================
In order to be able to successfully attack and defend against your opponent,
you need to know how to move around in order to gain the initiative. Moving
around in Tekken 3 is used to position yourself to attack and/or defend. Each
of the different movement options has its own special uses and you should
definitely be familiar with each of them before you try anything tricky.
-Walking-
This is the most basic of all movement options. Walking is also the least
effective. Walking can be useful to move slight distances when it's important
to move only a small amount, such as in combos.
-Dashing-
Dashing is definitely the most common way to get around in Tekken 3. Dashing
can be performed either forwards or backwards, and is done by quickly tapping
the controller twice in the direction you wish to travel. Since dashing is
faster than walking, covering 4.5 steps at once, it's the obvious choice to
get around. Often players find themselves being struck during or after a
backdash is fully complete. This is because you are unable to block during the
backdash, and for 60 frames after it has been fully completed. However, during
a backdash, you can attack or sidestep cancel.
-Running-
Running is one of the most misunderstood aspects of Tekken 3 movement. First
of all, running is the quickest way to cover large distances. Depending on how
long your character runs for, different options are available to them. After
running for between 11 and 18 steps, every character will tackle their
opponent to the ground. From the 12th step on, characters with slides and
cross chops will be able to perform them. From the 18th until the run ends,
all characters will perform the unblockable shoulder ram. The entire run
animation ends at the 22nd step. The numbers in the grid below represent steps
traveled.

| |_____/\
| | `- (12 steps on) can perform slide/cross chop
| |
| `- (between 11-18 steps) will perform tackle
|
`- (6 steps) begin running
Slides are performed by running for at least 12 steps, then pressing right
kick (4). Slides hit low and connect with downed opponents. The characters
that cannot perform slides are: King/Yoshimitsu/Gon.
Flying Cross Chops are performed by running for as least 12 steps, then
pressing both punches (1+2). Flying cross chops hit mid and cause guard stun.
-Crouch Walking-
Crouch walking is a universal feature and is great for getting right up in an
opponent's face when you expect a standing throw or high attack attempt.
Crouch walking is performed by holding down/forward (D/F) on the controller.
-Crouch Dashing-
Crouch dashing is an alternate form of dashing which can actually avoid many
high attacks. A crouch dash is a special advancement maneuver which begins
high, moves you towards your opponent, and recovers in a crouch. Characters
which can perform a crouch dash are: Jin/King/Hwoarang/Heihachi. To perform a
crouch dash, tap forward on the controller, return the joystick to neutral,
then roll the controller from down to down/forward: f,N,d,D/F. Holding back on
the controller will cancel the crouch dash.
Law has his own unique way to crouch dash. First he must be in a full crouch,
then you must roll the controller to down/forward, back to down, then back to
down/forward, which you must hold for a split second. I'm sure this sounds
tricky. This is how it looks in standard conventions: FC,d/f,d,D/F.
-Rolling Dashing-
Rolling dashing is very much like crouch dashing, except that rolling dashes
recover high. Characters will a rolling dash are: Paul/Nina/Bryan/Heihachi/
and Anna. To perform a rolling dash, roll the controller from down to forward:
QCF, or d,d/f,f.
-Swaying-
Swaying is basically a backwards crouch dash, and can only be performed by:
Paul/Nina/Bryan. To perform a sway, roll the controller from down to back:
QCB, or d,d/b,b. A special bonus of Nina's sway is the fact that it
auto-blocks low for you.
-Side Stepping-
Sidestepping is basically a new feature for Tekken 3, since not everyone had a
sidestep in Tekken 2. Sidestepping is used to avoid attacks, as well as for
confusing opponents. To perform a sidestep, tap up or down on the controller
and return the stick to neutral. Sidesteps are best used when in close as you
will have a better chance of getting to your opponent's side for a side throw.
The distance characters travel during their sidestep differs. About halfway
through a sidestep, you can cut it short by pressing any button or joystick
motion. By doing this, you will immediately perform the attack or direction
you input. Every character can also sidestep while their back is turned (BK).
This is performed the same way as a normal sidestep. The back-turned sidestep
is quick and doesn't cover as much distance as a normal sidestep. It will also
turn your character back around to face your opponent, except Ling who remains
standing with her back turned. The particular sidestep frame information is
listed below.

-Jumping-
There are two types of jumping in Tekken 3: Hopping and Leaping. A hop is a
short jump which is performed by tapping the controller up/back, up, or
up/forward and holding for a split second. Hops are great for jumping over low
attacks and jumping over downed opponents. A leap is a larger jump which is
performed by holding up/back, up, or up/forward. While in a leap, each
character can perform a jump-stun by pressing left kick (3) as they begin to
descend from their leap. If the kick is unguarded, your opponent will become
double over stunned (DS). After landing from a Leap, characters can perform
any WS attack.
-Backflip Evades-
A backflip evade is a character-specific maneuver which allows a character to
handspring backwards away from an opponent. The characters that can perform a
backflip evade are: Nina/Yoshimitsu/Ling/Eddy/Anna. A backflip evade is
executed by rolling the stick from up to up/back: u,u/b. The advantages of a
backflip evade are very decent. First of all, you cannot be thrown out of a
backflip evade. They also cover more distance than a basic backdash. The main
problem of backflip evades is that you are vulnerable during the entire
execution time.
==============================================================================
= :: Gameplay Elements ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SYSTEM :: =
==============================================================================
-Damage-
Damage in Tekken 3 is based on a points system. Throughout this guide you will
see numbers referring to "damage". This simply refers to the amount of energy
a particular move will take from your opponent's energy bar. Typical settings
in the arcade give a 110-point energy bar during 1player mode and a 140-point
energy bar in 2player mode. These numbers might be different in your arcade if
the settings have been adjusted. Even if the settings have been changed in
your arcade, the points inflicted by a move will always remain constant. The
only exception to this is if the move hits on a counter hit of any kind. This
will actually make the move do more damage than is actually listed in this
guide.
-Guarding-
Guarding is the single most important element of Tekken 3. Without being able
to successfully defend against your opponent's attacks, you have no chance of
surviving long enough to damage them. The two basic forms of guarding are:
Neutral/Active guarding. They are as follows:
Neutral guarding is a relatively straightforward procedure. To defend against
high and mid attacks, leave the joystick neutral. To defend against low
attacks, hold down. The problem with neutral guarding is that is it is not a
certainty. After many guard-breaking attacks and/or hits chained onto moves
which have already connected, leaving the joystick neutral will not guard. The
way around this is active guarding. It is important to know that this is a dip
switch setting within the Tekken 3 options menu, and in some arcades it might
be turned off.
Active guarding is most used by the majority of top level players. To defend
against high and mid attacks, hold back on the joystick. To defend against low
attacks, hold back/down simultaneously. This technique is much more effective
against strings of attacks, and is highly recommended by top level players.
-Guard Damage-
Guard damage is a term which refers to damage which is actually inflicted when
an opponent guards certain attacks. It is important to know that this is a dip
switch setting within the Tekken 3 options menu, and in some arcades it might
be turned on. This means that every attack that is guarded against will do a
small amount of damage. By default, guard damage is turned off.
-Attack Ranges-
Knowing when and where to strike is a major aspect of Tekken 3 success. There
are 4 basic hit ranges: High (h); Mid (m); Low (l); and Special Mid (Sm). To
guard against high/mid attacks, hold back on the joystick (unless you prefer
to use neutral guard). To guard against low attacks, hold down/back on the
joystick (unless you prefer to use neutral guard, in which case you just hold
down). To guard against special mid attacks, you may hold either back or
down/back on the joystick (unless you prefer to use neutral guard, in which
case you would do nothing).
There are 4 advanced hit ranges: High Throw; Crouch Throw; Ground Attack; and
Unblockable. High throws only connect with standing opponents. Crouch throws
only connect with crouching opponents. A very select few throws in Tekken 3
are actually catch throws. This means, besides being throws, they actually
have hit ranges as well. The advantage to this is, if you guard a catch throw
wrong, but the actual throw doesn't grab you, it still can do damage to you
like a special attack would. Ground attacks hit opponents on the ground and
are signified throughout this guide by way of capital letters (ex. H,M,L). A
capitol letter as a hit range signifies that the indicated attack will hit a
downed opponent. Unblockable attacks cannot be guarded against by simply
holding back or down/back on the joystick (unless otherwise noted). To guard
against unblockable attacks, either get out of range, sidestep the attack,
stop the attack before it executes completely, or you can choose to use an
attack reversal/parry.
-Throws-
Throws are moves which, after intiated, do a considerable amount of damage to
your opponent. The best thing about throws is the that they are very quick
ways do deal damage. Also, most throws are easier to execute than combos. To
perform a basic throw with any character, simultaneously press either left
punch and left kick or right punch and right kick (1+3 or 2+4). Even though
the motion to perform basic throws is the same for each character, the actual
throw performed, as well as the damage, differs depending on which character
you are using.
Special throws are similar to basic throws except they require specific
joystick and button combinations to perform. On the whole, special throws
inflict more damage that basic throws. This is not always the case, but
generally, special throws are more rewarding than basic throws.
Side throws are performed exactly like basic throws (1+3 or 2+4) except they
only take effect when you grab an opponent from the side. Most sidethrows also
inflict more damage than basic throws, and they also have great animations.
Back throws are performed exactly like basic and side throws (1+3 or 2+4)
except they only take effect when you grab an opponent from behind. Back
throws generally do more damage than any other form of throw, and once
initiated, they cannot be escaped.
Every character can perform a throw while in back-turned (BK) position by
simultaneously pressing either left punch and left kick or right punch and
right kick (1+3 or 2+4). For a back-turned throw, characters will turn around
and attempt to grab their opponent. If they whiff the throw-attempt, they
remain facing forward. Lei/Ling will turn back around into back-turned
position after a whiffed back turned throw attempt.
-Multi-Part Throws-
Multi-Part throws, also known as link throws, are throws which have an initial
grab, followed by one or more continuations. Multi-part throws take special
timing to perform and often take a lot of practice. Most of the major damage
multi-part throws can be escaped to avoid excess damage.
-Escapes-
Escapes are maneuvers which can evade taking damage, even after certain
attacks have been initiated. Every throw/multi-throw can be escaped except the
Ogres' Waning Moon (d/f,d/f+2+4) and certain links within multi-throws. All
throw escapes will be listed in the character's throw section.
Tackle escapes are the most complex of all escapes. Depending on whether your
opponent uses a punch series, an arm bar/leg hold, or both, you must use the
correct escape. You also have escape options as you are being tackled. All
tackle escape information is listed below. Yoshi's Sword cut and Gun Jack's
Face Bash cannot be escaped after a tackle.

-Reversals-
Attack reversals are character-specific maneuvers which grab an opponent's
outstretched limbs, then do damage depending on which move was reversed. The
characters with attack reversals are: Nina/Jin/Paul/King/Law/Anna. Out of
these characters, only Nina/Jin/Paul/Anna can reverse both high/mid kicks and
high/mid punches. King can only reverse high/mid kicks and the special
Lightning Kick. Law can only reverse high/mid punches.
Heihachi has a special right-kick-only reversal which will automatically
reverse any right kick that hits Heihachi on major counter (MC).
Ogre's God Reversal high attack reversal has no whiff animation. You must
perform the reversal motion right as an attack is about to make contact with
your character.
Ogre 2's Deadly Revenge mid/low punch reversal has no whiff animation. You
must first be in a full crouch, then as a mid/low punch is about to hit you,
roll the stick from the full crouch to down/forward.
Reversal specific damage/input time/recovery information is listed below.
Jin/Paul/Nina/Anna: High/Mid Reversal
(b+1+3 or b+2+4)
Active between the 2nd-10th frames
26 frames of recovery (if whiffed)

-Parries-
Parries are character-specific maneuvers which knock/push an opponent's attack
to the side, giving the character performing the parry an advantage. There are
two different types of parries: High/Mid Parries; and low parries. Characters
with the High/Mid Parry are: Law/Ling/Lei. Characters with the Low Parry are:
Nina/King/Yoshimitsu/Bryan/Julia/Lei/Law/Ling/Hwoarang. A high/mid parry gives
a 7-frame advantage. A low parry against a low punch gives a 14-frame
advantage. A low parry against a low kick is the best possible parry situation
as it gives a 26-frame advantage.
