This is a great 'get out of jail' card when it comes to storytelling, as it lets Tekken swing for the fences without worrying about its own melodramatic continuity. In Tekken, that's the King of Iron Fist Tournament, and whenever you win this as a non-canon character (basically anyone who's not a Mishima), you get a non-canon cinematic that basically describes their daydream of life after winning. That's why fighting games often opt for a general Good vs Evil motif or to hold the narrative together with a tournament. Related: Seriously, Can Someone Tell Me A Single Personality Trait Mario Has? And again, since everything is settled by punching someone in the face, it's difficult to sell any emotional nuance. There’s often demons or superpowers involved, but what kind of self-respecting demon can be defeated by punches? Meanwhile, if games go for a smaller, more grounded storyline, there are no stakes. There’s usually an underlying narrative, but fighting makes it hard for any sense of logic to fly. Their core gameplay loop is that every other character whales on the others just… because. I get why most fighting games lack a strong narrative.
Not unless you're talking about the Tekken 3 opening cinematic, that is. Whether you're a button masher, someone just starting to learn the combos, or a Fuzzy Guard, Footsie, and Frame Trap fan, as long as you play with someone just like you, you'll have a great time. Fighting games are still great, especially if you play with someone who's just about on your skill level but not quite. If that sentence makes you angry, open up your phone, get on Google Maps, type in ‘field’, and follow the directions until you find some grass. However due to Helluva Boss season 1 episode 2 influence, it was later changed.Fighting games rarely have good storylines. It was firstly written as "Xiaoyu saw an amusement park which is still not opened, Loo Loo Land, but despite of loving amusement park, she doesn't want herself to get hyped into it as she has trauma towards the evil demons including Overlords". There was some scenario changes on the biography of Xiaoyu relating to the Loo Loo Land." I'm pretty strong, you know!" (after defeating Velvet)." Bye, bye!" (after defeating her enemy)." Oh, this is not good." (after defeating her friend).
" I will NEVER let you get near Jin!" (against Blitzo, Loona, Millie, Moxxie, or Stolas)." What the hell are you? Can you just get out of here, please?" (against Vark)." Good to see us and our pets, now let's share our fight!" (against Angel Dust)." Looks like I'm in for a fight." (against her enemy).Back to the Hazbin Hotel, when Xiaoyu heard the announcement of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, Xiaoyu enters it and is allied by her friends in purpose of earning money to build her own park, saving Jin's soul from evil, and stopping any other evil things. However, sensing the major flaws of that park, Xiaoyu discovered how much worse it is. The next day, Xiaoyu saw an amusement park named Loo Loo Land. Xiaoyu once asked Vaggie the rumors about Overlords and was told to be careful with them, Xiaoyu then strongly follows her warn as she remembers being kidnapped by them. After meeting Jin along with Charlie, they continued discussing about the Hazbin Hotel until the other Hazbin Hotel staffs emerged to greet and talk together, resulting Xiaoyu become friends and even hang out with them, even Niffty, Alisa, and Angel Dust.
Xiaoyu then asked Charlie Magne about her hotel and to look for Jin. Xiaoyu took up her fighting stance and prepared to fight them until she managed to escape and finally reached her destination to the Hazbin Hotel. Xiaoyu tried to make her escape from it, but the Overlords who kidnapped her got in the way of her escape. However, the Overlords (which she firstly didn't know them about), coming out of nowhere, kidnapped and took her to the Porn Studios. Ling Xiaoyu immediately headed to the Pentagram City when she heard one of her best love since school, Jin Kazama, is in the Hazbin Hotel.
