The third entry in the phenomenally successful Tekken series and regarded as one of the best, fighting game Tekken 3 was originally released in arcades in 1997.

Tekken 3 introduces many new cast of characters, including the debut of several now-staple characters like Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, Bryan Fury, Eddy Gordo, Hwoarang and Julia Chang, taking the total roster to twenty-three characters.

The arcade cabinet was a massive success selling 35,000 units.

Tekken 3 is the first game in the series to really take advantage of the 3D nature of its environments. Players can sidestep attacks into and out of the screen. Fighters now jump at more sensible heights so that jumping can no longer be used to avoid low attacks. This results in a more balanced gameplay experience that emphasises the strategic use of sidestep dodges. Reversals, which were initially limited to specific characters in Tekken 2, are now accessible to all fighters. Other enhancements include faster recoveries from knockdowns, increased opportunities to escape tackles and stuns, a wider selection of moves that facilitate juggling, and the addition of new combo throws.

With Tekken 3 being set 20 years after Tekken 2 only six of that games characters make a return, resulting in an impressive array of 15 entirely new characters.
