Tekken 3 is a fighting game with a rich story. In it, a paramilitary organization called Tekken Force is nearly destroyed by the powerful Ogre. The only hope for revenge lies with Heihachi Mishima's grandson, Jin Kazama. Unaware of his family legacy, Jin lives with his mother Jun until Ogre attacks their home and presumably kills her. This sets Jin on a path to discover his grandfather's martial arts and use them to fight against Ogre.
The gameplay in Tekken 3 is centered around one-on-one fighting. The game features side-stepping, allowing players to retreat into the background and back during fights, as well as new combo throws and reduced jumping capabilities for more realistic combat. Fifteen new characters have been added to the roster, giving players a diverse range of options when selecting their fighter. Two minigames are also included: Tekken Force , a beat-em-up stage that unlocks a new character, and Tekken Ball , a beach volleyball variant where characters are hurt by the ball.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual

Story
STORY
One day, fifteen years after "The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2," Heihachi Mishima received ominous news. His "Tekken Forces" had been obliterated by a mysterious being called "Ogre."
Soon after, martial arts masters worldwide began disappearing. A young man named Jin Kazama appeared before Heihachi, claiming to be the son of Kazuya Mishima.
Jin revealed that his mother, Jun Kazama, had been attacked by Ogre and vanished. These events convinced Heihachi that Ogre thrived on the powerful souls of vanished masters.
Heihachi believed harnessing Ogre's powers could bring immense strength to the Mishima empire. He taught Jin the art of Mishima Style Fighting Karate.
Jin's discipline and abilities were strengthened under intense training, driven by revenge for his mother's death. Four years passed, and Heihachi acknowledged Jin's impressive fighting prowess.
He then announced "The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3," using Jin as a lure to draw Ogre out into the open.
