Props to Brian Cox for keeping a straight face throughout this...

Can we take a moment to appreciate is pronunciation of the names is better than 90% of streamers and commentators 😅

If you watched Succession, Brian Cox narrating the turbulent and dysfunctional story of Heihachi and his descendants just makes perfect sense

[Parisella]

Hearing Brian Cox say 'Tekken' was a trip. Hearing him say 'Jin Kazama' was surreal.

[carlanthony]

Brian Cox narrating a story about dysfunctional family dynamics after the dysfunctional family dynamics of Succession is so so good. Hilarious, poetic, amazing.

[DanKeatis]

"Why are you so upset? Is it because your father threw you off that cliff?"

- An actual line from the 1998 Tekken animated film.

[TNEQL]

That's... definitely an interesting choice. He certainly committed to the bit.

"And why do these fathers and sons keep throwing each other off cliffs?"

😂

Brian Cox is like an old historian telling us a story of a time that he lived through. It’s bloody cool.

[siphillis]

I love how Brian Cox is a legendary actor and he's clearly decided he wants to take the most ridiculous roles possible.

[rsfan]

Brian Cox is the last person I’d expect to do a video narrating Tekken lore (though definitely welcome) 😂😂

[jnee]

Casting Brian Cox here is somehow baffling and genius at the same time. Succession and Tekken both stories about father - son dynamics and power struggles. Bravo I guess

[metagaminguniversemgu]

Brian Cox was not the narrator we asked for, but the one we needed.

[lukeshef]

I'm sure Brian Cox has never played Tekken in his life but he really sold this well, what a great actor.

[ALtheBoi]

"Heihachi did what any loving father would do. Threw Kazuya off this cliff to see if he would survive" the spirit of shitty fathers truly lives on in Tekken through Logan Roy 😭😭🙏

[LilMissMorpho]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how he was walking around in the stages from the games, and the lighting on him matched the stage he was standing in? This was brilliantly done. Marketing and everyone who worked on Tekken 8 deserves a raise!

At 02.13 when Brian Cox narrates "in the momment of poetic justice, he threw his father of a cliff" and then there's a shot of low poly Kazuya smirking. It's gold.

[olishonick]

The fact he can even do this seriously is gold

[RedJester]

I was hoping we'd get the announcer saying COX!"

[ZanarGaming]

such a well mad video, this was needed to explain the story briefly and onboard more newcomers too

[andrewfantome]

It's so funny and at the same time warm to see inserts from the animation of old games. It's like you're remembering your childhood with an old friend who's returned.
