This was absolute dogwater. Even coming from someone who HAS played the Tekken games, the story in the OVA is completely incomprehensible and doesn’t even bother developing the characters or making you care about any of them. Piss poor animation and an even shittier dub with American music spread all over it, regardless of whether it fits the tone or not. Everything ADV tried with this, the Street Fighter II localization did SO MUCH BETTER (and let’s face it, it kicks ass any which way you watch it, English or original Japanese cut). The soundtrack fit the tone of their respective scenes, and the actual movie itself was EONS better.
But hey, at least the tape only cost me 50 cents at a thrift store, because I wasn’t paying $20 for a used copy off of eBay.
