After months of punishing streetfighting, throughout the USA, Paul emerges ready for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 with overwhelming confidence believing himself to be the strongest fighter in the world. He found work in the south Bronx as a bouncer, his ego and arrogance led him into numerous confrontations with unsavoury characters all of whom came off second best to his Judo techniques. Shaking his head in disbelief, Paul left the Mishima estate and returned to New York. Paul performed well in the first Rave War and although he was the only competitor insane enough to challenge a fully grown bear and win, he was defeated by Kazuya in a furious battle that lasted for hours. However his hot-headed nature could yet cause problems. Prologue (Extended) Paul has apparently no allegiances to either law enforcement agencies or any known criminal cartels, and has been classed as a low security risk. He lost the final round of the last tournament and enters once again with an extreme desire to be the champion. Story Prologue (Manual) Fascinated as a child by 'Bear Killer Willy Williams', Paul grew up to be one of the world's renowned fighters. Paul's ending cutscene shows him performing his 'Burning Fist' move with his left arm, while in fact he performs this move with his right arm during gameplay and he can't use it until Tekken 2.Next, Paul punches a brick wall that has a drawing of Kazuya on it, destroying it. He breaks a stack of 3 glass blocks with his fist, and kicks two glass blocks into the air. Ending, 'Burning Heart' (Unofficial Synopsis) Paul is in the training room. His goal is to eliminate any comparisons. There is only one fighter in this tournament who is ranked on an equal level to Paul. He is a judo expert but he is skilled in many forms of the Martial Arts. Version 2: Driven to be the best of the best, Paul travels the world in search of the perfect opponent. He considers his true self to be there all the more when he is fighting and he is taking part in this tournament to look for stronger opponents.

He previously fought Kazuya to a draw and unilaterally considers him to be his rival. Story Prologue (Manual) Version 1: He is a hot blooded American hand-to-hand fighter who likes training and knows martial arts. His title in the original trilogy is Hot Blooded Martial Artist. Despite being these flaws, Paul is still known not only for his trademark Phoenix Smasher but also because of the humor and gags that he provides to Tekken. He is also quite determined to win money to the point where he would even resort to underhanded means in order to win fights sometimes. This surprisingly gives him the courage to take on opponents such as the bears, and to the point where he even calls Azazel in the Scenario Campaign, a 'big lizard'. Often regarded as an oaf, Paul can be incredibly barbaric at times, preferring to settle things with his fists rather than thinking things through. He and Marshall Law are known to commit antics together, something that many characters, reference when encountering Paul at the Scenario Campaign. He also understands their financial situation, as he himself is also financially challenged in later games. Training with both Lee Chaolan and Marshall Law prior to the first Tekken, Lee would learn a few moves belonging to Paul such as having his own version of Paul's 'Double lift kicks'ДЄ good friend of the Law family, Paul is considered as a close family friend and often accompanies the men of the family in things like excursions or business. His rivalry with the first Kuma ended with Paul's final victory in the second tournament, while in following tournaments, he faced the second Kuma with the older bear's rivalry, inherited by his son. As among one of the most active tournament participants, Paul is quite well-known in all the tournaments he participated in, mainly due to the fact that in all five tournaments that he participated in, he has faced bears. Unable to accept failures in winning, Paul sees Kazuya Mishima as his only true rival in being the best, mainly due to Kazuya being the first one who had fought Paul to a draw. A hotheaded and agressive man, Paul is determined to prove that he is the absolute best fighter the world has seen, and this dream expanded into literally trying to prove to the universe that he was the best (something that would jokingly be shown in Tekken 5 where he challenges aliens in his ending). Paul Phoenix (гѓќгѓјгѓ«гѓ»гѓ•г‚§гѓ‹гѓѓг‚Їг‚№ PЕЌru Fenikkusu) appeared in every Tekken game so far in the series, becoming one of only four characters to do so, sharing the title with Heihachi Mishima, Yoshimitsu, and Nina Williams.
