Profile

General:
The father of Forest Law, Marshall manages a dojo along with his son. Marshall Law was a successful businessman - he managed a newly established dojo and even owned a nationwide Chinese fast food chain called Marshall China. Unfortunately, he lost a franchise war against a competitor and had to declare bankruptcy a year later. Unable to deal with his failure, Marshall fell into depression and spent his days at home in a drunken haze. Then one day, a notice for the Tournament arrived at his doorstep. Marshall’s eyes flashed with renewed vigor. After a month of intense training, he beat himself back into top physical form. Something ignited a fire within Marshall. “This is it,” he said to himself, “I must place everything on the line for this Tournament and win!” The fire within raged hotter than ever before.

During the middle of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, it was discovered that Marshall Law was working illegally in Japan, and as a result he was immediately deported to his home country of the United States of America. With the deadline to pay for the damages of his son’s accident fast approaching, hopes of getting the money needed slim. Just then, his best friend Paul Phoenix approached him with the idea of forming a team—securing a high-ranking prize alone would certainly be difficult, but if he was part of a team, the probability of winning would be much higher. Marshall accepted Paul’s invite, but thinking a three-man team was better two, the renowned boxer Steve Fox caught his attention.

Comment:
Namco's designers obviously saw Fei Long in Super Street Fighter 2, and they decided that they wanted a tribute to Bruce Lee in their game too... Why not? Let his legend live on... Tekken is a martial arts fighting game, and Bruce Lee did a lot for martial arts. Namco did a good job portraying Law's in-game animation to capture some of the real life mannerisms and techniques of the legend. Law is seen at his best in Tekken 6... A lot of his moves closely mimic that of Bruce Lee.
