00:06 Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're taking a look at our picks for the 10

00:11 weirdest unlockables in Tekken.

00:14 [Music]

00:20 The Tekken series dabbles in the bizarre every now and again, but when we nabbed

00:24 these unlockables, well, these were beyond absurd even for our favorite fighting

00:29 game franchise. Which unlockable did you find to be the

00:32 oddest? Let us know down in the comments.

00:44 Gone!

00:47 On the surface, a cartoon dinosaur seemed like a real

00:54 WTF moment when we played Tekken 3 back in the day.

00:58 For those unfamiliar, Gone was a character from a manga series that ran

01:02 from 1991 to 2002, and he was the biggest

01:06 cheater in Tekken 3. Thanks to his short stature,

01:10 most attacks from opponents would never connect, allowing him to quickly close

01:14 gaps and become an annoying poker. Hey, at

01:18 least you have an easier way of beating the game on harder difficulties.

01:21 The AI never knew how to properly deal with him.

01:30 Rainbow Hair!

01:34 Tekken 7 has a handful of strange cosmetics to unlock through currency and

01:41 treasure battles. In treasure battles, you'll occasionally

01:44 encounter opponents sporting the mystical, ever-changing rainbow hair. This

01:49 hairstyle changes colors throughout the fight in real time,

01:53 and to be honest, it's kind of distracting.

01:56 It's like we had some kind of psychedelic slipped into our system.

01:59 But the real problem with this unlockable? Not every character can rock the look.

02:04 Most of the female cast can, but when more than half the roster looks

02:09 odd sporting it, we can't help but think there could have been something better

02:13 here.

02:20 Eliza!

02:23 If you missed this free-to-play spinoff, Tekken Revolution was supposed to be a

02:31 means to bring arcade-style fighting to Tekken through

02:34 home consoles, specifically the PlayStation 3. The game

02:38 was never released for Xbox 360 for some reason.

02:41 This game would be the debut for Eliza. Why is she a weird unlockable?

02:45 Well, vampires haven't exactly been a thing in Tekken.

02:49 Well, neither were demons, robots, cyborgs, ghosts, ancient beings, and dinosaurs with

02:54 boxing gloves until the second game and all the sequels

02:57 thereafter, so... Okay, point taken. Point taken! Never mind,

03:02 we'll move on.

03:04 Round two.

03:10 Combat.

03:18 Imagine this. For whatever reason, you thought to yourself,

03:22 "Today's the day I'm going to beat Tekken 4's story mode

03:26 nine times." You unlock several characters and fill out half the roster in, say, half

03:31 a day or less, and on the ninth run, you get combat. Yes,

03:36 beat the story mode nine times to unlock the token Mokujin in the

03:41 weakest entry in the franchise. All of that effort gone to waste just

03:47 for Combat. Combat! A character who randomizes his

03:51 moveset every round and looks like a dopey

03:55 action figure. They just couldn't bring back the

03:58 sentient tree, could they?

04:02 Jenga hat.

04:14 If you thought the rainbow hair was a bit off, well, you haven't seen the best

04:18 headpiece yet. One of the best unlockable hats you can

04:21 get is a tower of Jenga blocks. Of course, it

04:25 isn't called that for obvious reasons, but there's no mistaking it,

04:29 that's a tower of Jenga blocks. But the hat gets better.

04:32 The more hits you take in a match, the more blocks fall off and scatter across

04:37 the ground. Can you keep a perfect tower intact, or

04:40 will you be left in pieces? Starblade.

04:46 Once upon a time, Namco used to throw in classic games like Galaga in every

04:55 Tekken game. For Tekken 5, they packaged in Starblade,

04:59 a 3D on-rails shooter that launched in arcades

05:02 all the way back in 1991, and you can play it when booting up Tekken 5.

05:07 It's a strange game to include when there are so many other classic Namco

05:11 titles lost to time. Dig Dug 2, Galaxian,

05:16 um, Mappy? Yeah, Mappy. Anyways, if you want to play Starblade for

05:21 yourself at your own leisure, simply beat story mode with every

05:25 character. It's that simple, and certainly not grueling in just how

05:31 meaty of a task it is. There's a lot of characters in Tekken 5, you're gonna be

05:35 there for a while.

05:37 Punch-Out Mode.

05:46 Want a game mode that can make you nauseous? Tekken 2 has a secret first

05:55 person mode that you can access at any given time.

05:58 Start a run in one player mode, and hold L1 and L2 as you choose your fighter.

06:04 A successful attempt will turn the game into a sort of punch-out mode,

06:08 where your character will be a green wireframe, and your opponent

06:12 is creepily staring you down in their garishly polygonal way.

06:16 Try not to get disoriented or traumatized.

06:21 The Masks.

06:33 The last- this is the last time we're railing on Tekken 7, okay?

06:36 We're- it's the last time we're gonna rail on the customization options,

06:40 promise, but we have to talk about some of the head masks.

06:43 There are a few we'd put on for giggles, like the Heihachi

06:47 dummy head, but then you have stuff like the realistic

06:50 deer heads. There's just something super uncanny about seeing a deer head

06:55 on Asuka or Jin Kazama. We suppose it works if you're trying to creep people

07:00 out online or give streamers a good laugh, but uh,

07:03 man, this is- this is more unsettling than it is funny.

07:08 Roger and Alex.

07:15 The first Tekken's weirdest unlockable character was Kuma, you know, the bear.

07:26 Tekken 2, on the other hand, somehow outdid its predecessor in absurdity.

07:31 As if throwing in a boxing kangaroo wasn't odd enough for you,

07:35 well, how about a boxing Velociraptor? Look, Alex and Roger have solidified

07:40 their own places in the world of Tekken, but you have to admit that at the time,

07:44 many of us were wondering what the hell was happening. We were all for it,

07:48 but still, what the hell's happening?

07:52 Tekken Bowl.

08:00 Tekken Bowl is the weirdest unlockable in the entire franchise,

08:04 but it is also the best. Whether you're playing the original iteration in Tekken

08:09 Tag Tournament, the one in Dark Resurrection, or the recent

08:12 version in Tekken 7, there's something wildly entertaining in

08:16 seeing these brawlers blazing down the bowling lanes.

08:19 And to make it even more amusing is how characters actually have

08:24 different stats that will affect their aim and power gauges.

08:27 If you have not tried out Tekken Bowl for yourself, you have not experienced

08:32 paradise, my friend.
