![Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as Heihachi @Krizalid99v2](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rIxoLbf69rA/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded April 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
This is a playthrough of Arcade Mode using Heihachi Mishima in the PS1 version of Tekken 1. Read on below for more information...
Heihachi is the final boss in the game, and he is an unlockable playable character in it.
===== ABOUT THE "BOSS EDITION" =====
To put it simply, this is the normal game as usual but with the major difference being that the bosses' icons appear on the character select screens instead of the regular characters. The 2P Play Mode character select screen also has this change whereby it replaces the regular character's texts.
The interesting thing is that the final boss Heihachi replaces the slot of Kazuya... logically you would think that only the sub-bosses would appear here right? Heihachi being present here results in Kunimitsu not appearing on this screen.
Note that the sub-bosses' icon slot appearances here do not replace/match their regular starting character counterparts (for example Anna would replace Nina's slot), meaning that it's not a structured appearance. Instead, they are of the same order as when they are all unlocked in the normal version of the game.
The bosses' icons on this screen are not just aesthetical... they actually function and do give you the chosen boss when you select them here. Think of it as the bosses being the 'main characters' this time.
I find it rather interesting because normally the bosses' icons are never shown on the character select screen (you normally move the cursor off the side of the screen to select the bosses after they're unlocked).
===== "BOSS EDITION" ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
- If you select a boss this way and use him/her to beat Arcade Mode, it does not unlock their regular counterpart.
- As mentioned earlier, Kunimitsu is the only boss that does not appear on the character screen due to Heihachi appearing.
===== HEIHACHI INFORMATION =====
- HOW TO UNLOCK HEIHACHI IN THE NORMAL GAME:
Beat Arcade Mode without using any Continues. You can do this with any character and on any difficulty setting.
===== ABOUT HEIHACHI =====
Ever since his debut in Tekken 1, Heihachi has gone from strength to strength in the series, being 1 of only 4 characters in the franchise to appear in all 8 games up to this point (at this time of writing). He is one of the originals and definitely a staple of the series.
===== GAMEPLAY =====
He is basically a more powerful version of Kazuya with better versions of his moves, along with Paul's hammer and Phoenix Smasher. In the PS1 version of the game he is more "individual", with extra unique moves of his own (such as his throws, extra hell sweeps, a possible anti-clockwise run at the end of his dash backs, a jumping double kick, etc.); whereas in the Arcade version he was almost an exact clone of Kazuya moves-wise.
===== HEIHACHI ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
- When playing through Arcade Mode with him, he is the only character in the game where all of his CPU opponents up to Stage 8 are of the sub-bosses.
- When playing through Arcade Mode with him, as his CPU opponents consist of all the sub-bosses until the final stage, it makes the game much harder as a result. The sub-bosses all have tough AIs even from the Stage 1.
- He is also the only character in the game to not have Heihachi as the final boss, but instead have "Devil Kazuya" as his final boss.
- He does not have an ending.
- His character select screen portrait image is completely different to the one in the Arcade version. If you're wondering on how this is possible in the Arcade version (as he is non-selectable in it), then it is done by having the Arcade settings set to allow you to change character if you Continue - therefore if you get to CPU Heihachi and lose, and if you Continue, you will go back to the character select screen and see Heihachi's portrait on the CPU side.
===== ABOUT PS1 TEKKEN 1 =====
This version of the game is virtually arcade perfect, even bettering the Arcade version in a lot of ways, such as:
1) The sub-bosses and Heihachi being made to be unlockable playable characters. They are unplayable in the Arcade version.
2) Extra/new and unique moves for the bosses.
3) A new alternative costume for each of the bosses.
4) FMV endings for the regular characters.
5) Offering an excellent Arranged soundtrack.
The minor downside however is that the character portraits on the select screen are static when you select/confirm them, unlike in the Arcade where they had animation. This is probably done to cut loading times.

![Toshinden URA [Saturn] - play as Sho Shinjo](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rd5PkhOuPa8/mqdefault.jpg "Toshinden URA [Saturn] - play as Sho Shinjo
This is a playthrough using Sho Shinjo in the Saturn game Battle Arena Toshinden URA. Read on below for more information...
Sho is a hidden final boss in the game, and he is an unlockable playable character.
HOW TO UNLOCK SHO
There are multiple commands you need to enter in order to get this done, as follows:
1) On the main title screen where it says Press Start Button, press the following: A, B, Z, X, Y, C. This unlocks Wolf and Repli.
2) Next, on the main title screen where it says Press Start Button, press the following: A, Z, C, X, B, Y. This gives you Easy Super Moves.
3) Finally, on the main title screen where it says Press Start Button, press the following: A, Y, C, X, B, Z. This unlocks Sho and Verm.
If youve done them all correctly, youll hear a sound for the last button press for each completed command. After you complete the third command, Sho and Verm will now be available on the character select screen.
Key: QCF = Quarter Circle Forward; QCB = Quarter Circle Back; DP = Dragon Punch motion; BDP = Backwards Dragon Punch motion; HCB = Half Circle Back; HCF = Half Circle Forward; [S] = any Slash; [WS] = Weak Slash; [HS] = Heavy Slash; [K] = any Kick; [WK] = Weak Kick; [HK] = Heavy Kick
SPECIAL MOVES
Double Fireball: QCF + [S]
Eiji Helicopter: DP + [S]
Somersault Slice: QCB + [S]
Kayin Helicopter: BDP + [S]
Splits: QCB + [K]
Kneedrop: QCF + [WK]
Rise & Dive Kicks: QCF + [HK]
Slide DF + [K]
Dive Kick: in the air, QCB + [K]
Somersault Kick: in the air, D, U + [K]
SUPER MOVES
Desperation Move: HCB, HCF + [HS] (requires low life/flashing lifebar)
Overdrive: dont know, but pressing [Z] + [C] does it (requires Overdrive gauge)
Final Technique: dont know, but pressing [Z] + [C] WITHOUT the Overdrive gauge does it (you may also need the Easy Special Attacks cheat enabled for this)
ABOUT SHO
Sho is the master and older brother of Eiji. He trained both his younger brother and Kayin in the way of the sword, before leaving them without notice. He has since traveled around the world under the alias of The Stranger, searching for strong opponents whom he ends up defeating.
In BAT2, Sho enters the tournament for the same reasons he did the first - to see if his brother Eiji had gotten stronger. During this tournament, he encountered Vermilion and defeated him, causing the shrouded black warrior to flee. Sho didnt care about Vermilions motives, for he had only one thing in mind: making Master and Uranus pay for making clones of him. He broke into the organizations main compound and slayed both Uranus and Master. He then walked out of the building just as Gaia arrived.
In URA, a fighter named Ripper, who is Cupidos brother, is seeking Sho Shinjo as he believes that he may have slain her in the past due to her disappearance. In other events, the Replicant android was defeated by Sho.
GAMEPLAY
At the root, he is basically an alternative version of Eiji and Kayin as he shares their basics and special moves in all of the Toshinden fighting games he has appeared in, as well as gaining some unique extras in his later renditions. He is also speedier than the both of them as well, as he does almost everything slightly faster.
For comparison, he is basically the Akuma of Toshinden, with Eiji and Kayin being the Ryu and Ken respectively. Sho is the bigger thief though as he steals literally everything from Eiji and Kayin.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sho can be fought against as a hidden final boss in the game, providing that the player beats 1P Game mode without using Continues. Youll get the match after the end credits. You can see this in the video starting around 28:53.
Him and Replicants movelist is identical.
Though URA is an abbreviation for Ultimate Revenge Attack, the word Ura also has combat connotations in Japanese.
ABOUT BAT URA
This is the sequel to Toshinden Remix (on the Saturn), and is basically a special version of the original Toshinden 2 (which appeared on the PS1, PC and Arcade), with many differences. These differences include: a different plot that is seen as a side-story; new characters; new CGI; new stage backgrounds, along with new BGMs for the new characters. Even though there are new characters, the drawback is that the original BAT2 characters Gaia, Chaos, Master and Uranus were removed.")
![Guilty Gear X [DC] - play as Testament](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rdYRAQUHKOM/mqdefault.jpg "Guilty Gear X [DC] - play as Testament
This is a playthrough using Testament in the Dreamcast version of Guilty Gear X. Read on below for more information...
Testament is the penultimate boss of the game, and is an unlockable playable character.
HOW TO UNLOCK TESTAMENT
There are a few ways to do this. The fastest way is through command inputs as explained below:
METHOD 1
On the title screen where it states Press Start Button, press the following command:
Up, Up, Down, Left, Start
If youve done it correctly, youll hear Testaments voice. Testament will be unlocked and available on the character select screen.
METHOD 2
Alternatively, use the following command instead to unlock both Testament and Dizzy. Do this on the same title screen:
Down, Right, Right, Up, Start
If youve done it correctly, youll hear Dizzys voice. Testament (along with Dizzy) will be unlocked and available on the character select screen.

Testament was also a sub-boss in the prequel game, Guilty Gear on the PS1. This means that the character retains this status for GGX.

![Samurai Shodown 1 [Arcade] - play as Amakusa](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sESDtUz4c10/mqdefault.jpg "Samurai Shodown 1 [Arcade] - play as Amakusa
This is a playthrough using Amakusa in the Arcade version of Samurai Shodown 1. Read on below for more information...
Amakusa is the end boss of the game. He is a non-selectable character in both the NeoGeo Arcade MVS and AES versions of it.
ABOUT AMAKUSA
He is one of the more recognizable SNK fighting game characters, and the most well-known boss of the Samurai Shodown series. An eastern sorcerer type design, he has quite a unique fighting style (for its time) whereby his weapon is a levitating gem in which he controls and directs. Storyline-wise, he is one of the agents of the deity, Ambrosia. His full name is Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, based on real-life historical figure Amakusa Shiro.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
He can appear on the character select screen as long as he isnt pre-highlighted when entering the screen.
He operates perfectly on the Continue screen.
In the events where on returning to the character select screen after he has already been selected, his sprites are slightly glitched in a way where a glitched Kyoshiros weapon is in front of him.
When playing as him, In gameplay, if he loses a round the game will go into the Amakusa/Ambrosia awakening cutscene/screen before resuming as normal for the next round. The interesting thing here is that the the other character in the cutscene is Amakusa!
In gameplay, if he loses/drops his weapon, his weapon icon (when its on the ground) is Charlottes 2P weapon icon. If he is on the 2P side, it is Charlotters COM weapon icon instead. The strange thing is that for the CPU-controlled Amakusa you fight against at the end of the game, if he loses/drops his weapon, his dropped weapon icon is the actual correct gem icon.
When playing as him in a 1P game, the game will crash and reset after defeating the 4th opponent. This is because he has no proper sprite and dialogue for the cutscene. You can see this around 11:31 in the video. There is an easy workaround to get past this, which I have done.
He has boss properties. All of his gem attacks hit hard which means that he doesnt follow the logical hit strengths of the regular characters; and his Weak Slash on the ground is a fast multi-hitting normal that is very powerful if it connects unblocked.
If he gets hit heavily at certain situations, he automatically does the disappearing and re-appearing move.
In a 1P game, after defeating CPU Amakusa at the end, the game will crash and reset because he doesnt have a proper ending programmed in.

15:20 - weaponless Amakusa catches Ukyos blade and throws him to the ground.

Sho is a hidden final boss in 1P Game mode on the harder difficulty levels, and he is an unlockable playable character.
HOW TO UNLOCK SHO
1) First, you need to unlock Gaia: Whenever you get to a situation where the title screen appears and the menu words scroll in, use Controller 1 and enter the motion: Down, Down-Right, Right + Square (or D, DF, F + Weak Slash) like a special move during the scrolling words. If youve done it correctly youll hear a voice. You will also find that the colour of the menu text has changed.
2) After that, again get to a situation where the title screen appears and the menu words scroll in, use Controller 2 and enter the motion: Right, Down, Down-Right + Square (F, D, DF + Weak Slash) like a special move. If youve done it correctly youll hear a voice.
3) On the character select screen, highlight Kayin, hold Down and press any attack button to select Sho.
Remember, these codes are different to the Western versions of the game!

ABOUT SHO
Sho is the master and older brother of Eiji. He trained both his younger brother and Kayin in the way of the sword, before leaving them without notice. He has since traveled around the world under the alias of The Stranger, searching for strong opponents whom he ends up defeating.
In the first Toshinden tournament (Toshinden 1), he met and fought against a woman named Cupido who was from the Himitsu Kessha organization. They soon fell in love and eventually had a son named Subaru.
GAME TRIVIA
On the character select screen, just like Gaia, he has no icon and no image portrait.
Eiji is the only character in the game to not have a hair colour change on his alternate second costume.
DIFFERENCES IN THE JAPANESE VERSION
There are some differences in this when compared to the USA/EUR versions of the game... the significant difference is that most of the character music tracks are different. It seems that the West/Europe went to change/improve the music for the Western version of the game. (in the same way on how the SNES fighting game Tuff E Nuff improved the music over the Japanese version of the game, called Dead Dance)
The voices for most of the characters are also different as well. One example of this is Kayins voice, in this version of the game he has a distinct American accent (despite him being Scottish)... whereas in the Western version he had a Scottish accent.

The m0d makes him selectable on the character select screen, his panel is at the top-center.
On the character select screen, his panel image is a mirrored and edited version of Reptiles panel. The same goes for his icon on the Battle Plan.
As the m0d has implemented a versus screen for 2-player matches, Smoke naturally has one too. The image used here is an edited version of Sub-Zeros versus screen umage. You can see this at 35:03 in the video.
Smoke now has his own profile/biography screen during the demos. The image here uses Sub-Zeros sprite, but has a newly-created background with smoke. You can see this at 35:06 in the video.
If you beat the game with him, he naturally has an ending in this version of the game. The two images used here are edited versions of the images in Sub-Zeros and Scorpions endings.
He does not have an alternate colour palette for mirror matches.
In gameplay, he now emits smoke, just like the CPU Smoke. (in the original MK2, if external methods are used to select him as a player character, he does not emit smoke)
MKII UNLIMITED SMOKE GAMEPLAY
His Spear special move is now available to the player. The m0d also adds other special moves from Scorpion and Reptile.
He now has Finishing moves.
He has the fastest walking speeds in the game.
Unfortunately, he is missing the special move where he walks VERY fast up to the opponent before throwing them. Only the CPU Smoke can do this.
As he now has Finishing Moves and can have finishing moves performed on him, it means that he can go into the Finish Him/Her! event.
The glitched/unintended moves from the original MK2 version of him is removed.
TRIVIA
He is the only character in the game to have different walking poses for walking forwards and backwards.

![Samurai Shodown 3 (alt) [Arcade] - play as Kuroko](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t2wKaWXkgXQ/mqdefault.jpg "Samurai Shodown 3 (alt) [Arcade] - play as Kuroko
This is a playthrough using Kuroko in an alternative Arcade version of Samurai Shodown 3. Read on below for more information...
Kuroko is a CPU opponent who appears at Stage 6 in a one-player game. He operates as a mirror match character, meaning that he clones the opponent by morphing into him or her at the start of a match. He is a non-selectable character in this game.
NOTE: Most Continues cut out of the video to save time and vide file size.
Here is the information on the character:
When he is highlighted on the character select screen, his sprite does not have any animation. The colors are also wrong.
On the character select screen, when he is selected, on the Technique / Level section, his colour palettes are wrong and shows more color change glitches if the player switches between the modes. The same applies to his portrait on the right.
On the character select screen, in the Technique / Level scetion, when he is selected, he uses Zankuros animations with glitched colours.
On the fight screen, he does not have any name text under the lifebar.
When you win a match with him in single-player or 2-player, you will get his WELL DONE winning screen with Kuroko in a glitched colour palette. This glitched color palette seems to be copied from the last character he cloned.
In the pre-match cutscene before fighting CPU Kuroko, the player Kuroko has a glitched sprite of Zankuro behind him. You can see this at 12:18 in the video.
If Kurokos opponent is Zankuro, he will use Haohmarus transform animation to morph into Zankuro. There is no Zankuro morph animations because the two characters are not supposed to fight each other.
In gameplay, the super move commands for him that appear are the same no matter which character he is transformed into, and are wrong.
If you beat the game with him, his ending text is the same as Zankuros defeated speech.

![Tekken 3 [Arcade] - play as Gun Jack](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/thXzsHZ5ap4/mqdefault.jpg "Tekken 3 [Arcade] - play as Gun Jack
This is a playthrough using Gun Jack in the Arcade version of Tekken 3. Read on below for more information...
Gun Jack is a hidden character in the game. He is a time-release unlockable playable character.
GUN JACK TIME RELEASE
From the games first power on, Gun Jack will be selectable in 69 days. His Coming Soon screen is supposedly on 59 days.
TO FIGHT GUN JACK
After his Coming Soon screen has occurred, play a 1-player game and either get to Stage 3 in 50 seconds or less; OR get to Stage 4 in 11000 or less.
Gun Jack will appear on Stage 4 or Stage 5 depending on which condition you met above.
The above is not confirmed.
GUN JACK STORY
When Jane was a child, she was rescued from a bacteriological war zone by Jack-2. After the Tekken 2 tournament, the robot was destroyed by a satellite laser. When Jane reached the age of 17, and with the help of funding from the Mishima Zaibatsu, she then spent the next 10 years restoring Jack-2 to 90% functionality. She eventually learns that the Mishima Heavy Industries were responsible for Jack-2s A.I., and discovers something called Project Gun Jack. She snuck into Mishima Heavy Industries and secretly installed the hidden program, resulting in the creation of Gun Jack.
GUN JACK GAMEPLAY
Its Jack... anyone who knows Tekken will generally have an idea of how Jack plays right? Lots of clumsy swinging punches, sequence uppercuts and some hard-hitting moves and throws. In Tekken 3, Gun Jack has a large repertoire of special throws, as well as gaining Ganryus Sumo Stomp. Jack, as always, makes for a great opponent - because every time you hit him, those mechanical hit sound effects sure feels good.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / TRIVIA
Gun Jack only appears in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament 1. And this is the only version of him with this unique name.
A modified version of Gun Jack appears as the first boss in the Devil Within mode contained in the PS1 version of Tekken 5.
As he appears in Tekken 3, he can be considered to be Jack-3. The same applies to Tekken Tag Tournament 1.
In his PS1 Tekken 3 ending, Jane looks somewhat like a specific attired Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 2.

Regarding other differences, these include:

He does not have the neutral moving Forward which are new command normals for New Guile
His spinning knuckle normal is his regular neutral Fierce and not a command normal unlike New Guile

ABOUT KARAI
Karai is a character who has appeared in the TMNT comics and in several other media as a high-ranking member of Shredders Foot Clan. She is supposedly Shredders disciple and adopted daughter. Her allegiance (to the heroes or villains) varies between the media.
In the SNES version of TTF, she worked with Rat King to orchestrate the games events. In the Story Battle mode of the game, Karai (who is not known to the Turtles) arrives in New York with the forces of the Shredder Elite to avenge Shredder, and kidnaps Splinter and April ONeil to lure the Turtles into fighting her minions.
DESIGN
In the SNES version of TTF, her design is very different to the Genesis TTF version of Karai. As the SNES game aims for a more flamboyant style, her moves here are crazy and dramatic, unlike the Genesis Karai.
OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA
Even when unlocked, her figure does not appear on the character select screen in VS Battle and Watch mode.
When using third party methods to play as her, after you defeat CPU Karai, she can appear on the screen with the two women and falling money, assuming you beat the game well enough.
When using third party methods to play as her in Tournament mode, after you defeat CPU Karai, and after the winning screen, the game will crash as she does not have a proper ending programmed in.
When using third party methods to play as her in Tournament mode, she is has no problems in the bonus game, despite her not being meant to appear here.
A lot of her moves have boss properties. Meaning that they are really fast, unnatural in movement, have great range, have high priority and inflict high damage.
Her appearance in the SNES version of the game is roughly based on the design from the Mirage comics.
In the Japanese version of the game (TTF: Mutant Fighters), her lifebar icon image is different.
Regarding Aska, a certain item of attire is more revealing in the Japanese version.
Regarding Aska, she has a different and more animated winning pose in the Japanese version.
Regarding Aska, she was originally meant to be named Mitsu as an early beta version of the game shows.
The game is on three platforms - the NES, SNES and Genesis. However, the three games are significantly different to each other.
The USA version of the game came first, with the Japanese version following later.
In the Japanese version of the game, there are differences such as balance changes, new voice clips from Turtles in Time, a breakable wall extending the arena in the Studio 6 stage, and the ability to select the alternate colour palette by using the Start button on the select screen.
The European version uses Hero instead of Ninja in the games title.

![Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as Lee Chaolan](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uiju36OB_Rk/mqdefault.jpg "Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as Lee Chaolan
This is a playthrough of Arcade Mode using Lee in the PS1 version of Tekken 1. Read on below for more information...
Lee Chaolan is the sub-boss for Kazuya in the game. He is an unlockable playable character in the normal version of it.
ABOUT THE BOSS EDITION
To put it simply, this is the normal game as usual but with the major difference being that the bosses icons appear on the character select screens instead of the regular characters. The 2P Play Mode character select screen also has this change whereby it replaces the regular characters texts.
The interesting thing is that the final boss Heihachi replaces the slot of Kazuya... logically you would think that only the sub-bosses would appear here right? Heihachi being present here results in Kunimitsu not appearing on this screen.
Note that the sub-bosses icon slot appearances here do not replace/match their regular starting character counterparts (for example Anna would replace Ninas slot), meaning that its not a structured appearance. Instead, they are of the same order as when they are all unlocked in the normal version of the game.
The bosses icons on this screen are not just aesthetical... they actually function and do give you the chosen boss when you select them here. Think of it as the bosses being the main characters this time.
I find it rather interesting because normally the bosses icons are never shown on the character select screen (you normally move the cursor off the side of the screen to select the bosses after theyre unlocked).
BOSS EDITION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- If you select a boss this way and use him/her to beat Arcade Mode, it does not unlock their regular counterpart.
- As mentioned earlier, Kunimitsu is the only boss that does not appear on the character screen due to Heihachi appearing.
UNLOCK INFORMATION
- HOW TO UNLOCK LEE IN THE NORMAL VERSION OF THE GAME:
Beat Arcade Mode with Kazuya. Lee will then be available on the character select screen by scrolling off the side of the row.
ABOUT LEE
As the adopted son of Heihachi, Lee holds a semi-important role in the Mishima storyline. He is one of the more popular characters in the franchise for his sleek style of fighting and his trademark thumbs-up & catchphrase of excellent.
LEE GAMEPLAY
He is a derivative of Law for the most part. Extras include Mishima-style axe kicks and Pauls jumping double axe kicks. In the PS1 version of the game, he was given several new moves not seen in the Arcade version... for example the infinite kicks and the Lazers Edge kick combo. He also has a new drop throw, which replaces his run up and flatten opponent throw (Laws one) of the Arcade version. Gotta make him less of a clone.
LEE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- In Tekken 1, in gameplay he uses Kazuyas voices. However, his laugh (during his win pose) is unique to him.
- On the character select screen, his still portrait image the last frame of his FMV portrait from the Arcade version.
- In Tekken 2, he was switched to be Heihachis personal sub-boss instead of Kazuyas.
ABOUT PS1 TEKKEN 1
This version of the game is virtually arcade perfect, even bettering the Arcade version in a lot of ways, such as:
1) The sub-bosses and Heihachi being made to be unlockable playable characters. They are unplayable in the Arcade version.
2) Extra/new and unique moves for the bosses.
3) A new alternative costume for each of the bosses.
4) FMV endings for the regular characters.
5) Offering an excellent Arranged soundtrack.
The minor downside however is that the character portraits on the select screen are static when you select/confirm them, unlike in the Arcade where they had animation. This is probably done to cut loading times.
