Tekken 7: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

5. Heihachi Mishima

The daddy of the Iron Fist Tournament, Heihachi is standing centre stage for Tekken 7's story mode, though his actual moveset hasn't changed all that much.

It's no bad thing, being Heihachi has had a solid blend of uppercuts, jumping kicks, charged electric palms and vicious stomps for years. His T7 variation adds a jaw-dropping Rage Art that sends opponents flying in a fireworks display of pure power, but all of Heihachi's moves feel laboriously balanced and play-tested.

Sadly, the close of the Tekken 7 sees Kazuya FINALLY (probably... maybe...) defeat Heihachi for good, dumping his body into the same volcano the former was thrown into at the start of Tekken 1.

I doubt this'll stop Heihachi appearing in future instalments as that would be a major loss, but as for now, he's still more than worthy of his position at the top.
