Tekken 3 (1998)

The first two Tekken games are awesome. But for my money, the best Tekken released on the OG PlayStation was the third entry in Bandai Namco’s fighting game series. Many fan-favorite fighters were introduced in Tekken 3, which also looked better and played better thanks to all characters being able to sidestep. It’s not quite the full 360 degrees of fighting freedom found in Tekken 4, but it’s a big step in that direction. And Tekken 3 also included Gon, a little dragon who farts a lot. Instant classic. — Zack Zwiezen
