Steve
22. 11. 2009
In Tekken 5, Namco broke the Japanese-English barrier built into Tekken 4, allowing the characters to speak in their native languages instead of either English or Japanese. As a result, Steve was given a stereotypical working class Southern English accent, contradicting the North London accent he had in Tekken 4 to the anger of many English fans. This accent is still present in Tekken 6.
Steve's character was originally given the name Dean Earwicker. This was changed after a substantial amount of negative feedback from the Tekken community. The name has been referenced twice in the Tekken series. The first time was in Tekken 4's Tekken Force side game, where a Tekken Force member that is encountered at the fourth stage (the "Mishima Fortress" stage) is named "Dean Earwicker". This Tekken Force member also has a stance similar to Steve's. The second time was in Tekken 5's "Arcade Battle" mode, where a Tekken Lord Steve Fox is named "Dean Earwicker".
Because he is a boxer, Steve Fox does not have normal kick attacks. However, there are a few instances where Steve uses his legs to attack, such as his get-up kicks, jumping kicks, and a single attack where he stomps on the opponent's foot.
Steve's sub-bosses are Lei Wulong and Heihachi Mishima.
Steve's Tekken 4 ending is connected to Nina Williams' and Lei Wulong's endings.
In the first picture in his Tekken 5 prologue, Steve is fighting against Paul Phoenix. Coincidentally enough, Steve would receive an invite to train with Paul, and his friend Marshall Law, in Tekken 6.
Steve's unblockable move, Hellfire (qcb,F+2), is the only unblockable attack where damage can be reduced by blocking it. If blocking it, its properties also change.
Another move of Steve's, his Endless Roll (4~3~f 1,2... _2,1...), is a variation of the Dempsey Roll, which was created and first used by the Heavy Weight Boxing Champion of the 1920's, Jack Dempsey.
While being customized the 2nd outfit as '70's, he dressed up almost look a liked Renn Kiriyama who portrayed as Shotaro Hidari/Kamen Rider Double's left half body from Kamen Rider Double.
He is Completely Unaware that Anna Williams is his Aunt.
In the Scenario Campaign of Tekken 6, Steve is a boss at the Abyss Gate.
