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 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.

==== 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 Paul's 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 Lazer's Edge kick combo. He also has a new drop throw, which replaces his "run up and flatten opponent" throw (Law's one) of the Arcade version. Gotta make him less of a clone.

===== LEE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====

- In Tekken 1, in gameplay he uses Kazuya's 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 Heihachi's personal sub-boss instead of Kazuya's.

===== 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.
