Naturally, not many people would want a game where the primary feature was exactly the same as an earlier game with the same name, so there are a plethora of additional intricacies and dynamics. The change back to the higher-paced, more involved feel that was present in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag has revitalized the series. The gameplay has changed drastically from Tekken 4's very deliberate jab-fest in which 90% of the fight consisted of poking at each other. Being an evil, pissed-off demonic martial artist, the mysterious entity decided that the best way to get revenge and destroy all of "existence" was through a fighting tournament (pass the tequila) … A mysterious entity has been buried beneath the building which was blown up, and was luckily freed by the explosion.
