They even got an iconic villain design out of it. When Namco introduced Siegfried into Soul Edge, they gave a white bread warrior a backstory about accidentally murdering his father in battle and turned it into one of the series’ best character arcs. It goes with her use of the Perfect Plex, I guess. Michelle and Julia become a mother/daughter luchadora tag team. Her saving grace is her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending. The first Tekken Tag Tournament is a cavalcade of lame, 20-second endings and Michelle’s was probably the absolute worst, showing nothing more than she and Julia sitting down on a grassy hill and having a conversation that we can’t hear a word of because the only audio is from the stock ending music. She has so little personality that her endings are a cure for insomnia. When it comes to the original core cast, Michelle’s just so forgettable. Listen, the most entertaining thing Michelle Chang’s ever done is throw a tomahawk at Heihachi in the Tekkenanime, and it was only entertaining because Heihachi caught and shattered it with his teeth. That face she makes at Ogre during the Tag 2 intro sure is something. Namely that Angel has a sinister and violent streak barely buried under her righteous demeanor.

Her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 update did at least add a little personality, and that’s a plus. Maybe she helped him chill out enough during that tournament to romance Jun Kazama and create Jin as some kind of prophecized “chosen one” thing? Who knows? After the game, she falls into obscurity and only shows up in the non-canon Taggames. She exists for the sake of attempting to draw out the goodness in Kazuya, but isn’t actually part of him (unlike Devil). She starts off in Tekken 2 as Devil’s alternate outfit, which fittingly makes her the final boss if you play as Devil. ANGEL First appearance: Tekken 2Īngel is one of those characters whose origins and identity are supposed to be all mysterious, but she doesn’t do enough to make that mystery worth caring about.

That said, his metallic Clark Still appearance is totally sweet. His defining characteristic is that he’s shoddy and falls apart. So when you look at Prototype Jack, you’re left with Jack without any of the substance. He’s a drone that broke away from what he was created to be. Jack is great because he’s the Judgment Day T-800 mixed with the Iron Giant. Just goes to show that nobody in Tekkenis 100% crap. Okay, there is that one move where she does a selfie with her opponent right before they collapse to the ground. As a secondary Xiaoyu, Miharu doesn’t add much.
