Lars Alexandersson (Japanese: ラース・アレクサンダーソン, Hepburn: Rāsu Arekusandāson) is a fictional character from the Tekken fighting game franchise by Bandai Namco Entertainment. He was introduced in the 2008 game Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, an updated arcade version of the original Tekken 6. In the console versions of Tekken 6, Jin was introduced as the series' new protagonist. Lars is a member of the Tekken Force paramilitary unit confronting the corrupt Mishima Zaibatsu corporation, responsible for starting a world war. He is revealed to be the illegitimate son of former corporation leader Heihachi Mishima, and goes to confront the current one, Heihachi's grandson Jin Kazama, in order to stop his worldwide war, which he started in the Tekken 6 storyline. Ever since Tekken 6 Lars has become a recurring character in the franchise, and has appeared as a guest character in games such as Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and Street Fighter X Tekken.

Lars' character originated from the Tekken's developers who wanted to include to a member from the Tekken forces into the game's cast ever since the late the 1990s. His fighting style was made so that newcomers to the series would use in order to defeat other players. Nevertheless, for following games, the staff decided to balance Lars' techniques to make the games more fair. Multiple designs have been given to the character ever since his debut.

Lars has received mixed critical reception by video game reviewers. While critics praised his fighting style, even suggesting him to newcomers, his design was met with negative response, as most of them found it ridiculous, often referring to his spiky hair. Nevertheless, Lars has been popular among fans of the franchise often ranking as one of the most popular characters.

Creation and development

Originally, Namco wanted to include a Tekken Force character ever since Tekken 3, but it didn't happen until Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. Early sketches of the character featured him older than he appears in the game, also having beard in his chin, as well as a pony tail.[1] Lars' full name was proposed to the staff by an unknown woman from the Sweden Japanese embassy years before Tekken 6 was developed. Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada found it "cool" and decided to use it for the character without second thoughts.[2] In contrast to other Tekken 6 debuting characters that were based on fan input, both Lars and fellow newcomer Alisa Bosconovitch were created with a different approach in regards to the game's story, as commented by Harada. Lars' mysterious identity and intentions of an encounter against Jin Kazama was the focus of Tekken 6's story mode. In the arcade version of Tekken 6, most of Lars' identity was kept a mystery, leaving it to the Scenario Campaign mode of console versions to explain his role in the series and his connections with other characters.[3]

Lars' moveset was made to fit with other older characters in the series, and with the intention of giving players multiple strategic possibilities. The developers called him "quick and agile", based on his multiple moves, which prevent the player from being cornered against a wall.[4] Additionally, they intended Lars to be easy to use for newcomers, making his moves"unpredictable for opponents.[5] When Tekken 6 was first released, Namco Bandai received several complaints from fans about Lars being too overpowered. Nevertheless, it was revealed that Lars' strength was intentional, and it was argued that every time a new character is introduced to the franchise, he might be perceived as stronger, as it happened with Akuma, who appears as a guest character in Tekken 7.[6] Harada said he thought Lars remained as the strongest character to use in fighting tournaments, though others claim Steve Fox and the Mishimas, Jin, Kazuya and Heihachi were stronger than him.[7] For Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Harada revealed that Lars had been rebalanced from Tekken 6 in order to fit more with the cast of this spinoff.[8] Additionally, Harada claimed neither Lars or his father Heihachi have the Devil Gene (a genetic abnormality that causes its bearers to mutate and lose their minds) in order to avoid confusions to a fan who was worried that Lars and Heihachi would become devils.[9] In his Twitter account, Harada has often been asked by gamers to increase Lars' strength. This resulted in an internet meme titled "Buff Lars" with Harada refusing to do that.[10][11]

As with several other characters, in Tekken 6 Lars was given an alternate outfit designed by a manga artist. His outfit was designed by Masashi Kishimoto, author of the manga Naruto.[12] In redesigning Lars, Kishimoto removed his Tekken Force outfit and gave him a soft rubber material marked with a lion sign in his right arm. He also made multiple cuts for the belt in his belt so that Lars' kicking leg techniques would fit. The back was given the sign of Sweden's telephone country code: "46".[13] In the Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Lars has an extra costume based on Link from Nintendo's series The Legend of Zelda.[14] For Tekken 7, Lars was given a new redesign by Ninnin but retaining elements from the Tekken Force design while obtaining a torn red cape.[15] For Street Fighter X Tekken, Lars retains his Tekken 6 outfit, but is also given an alternate ninja outfit.[16]

For Tekken 7, Harada was impressed by the Swedish rock band BatAAr. He then felt the video game could benefit from their songs. Therefore, Lars being half-Swedish, he asked them to compose the character's theme, hoping that fans of the franchise would look forward to this theme song when playing as Lars.[17] The group originally met Harada during a Twitter conversation where a member from the band asked Harada where he could buy a Tekken action figure in Tokyo. Shortly afterwards, Harada invited the group to have a meal together and presented them with the idea. The singers went to Japanese arcades to play of Tekken 7 using Lars while hearing their own music, which they found satisfactory. BatAAr, honored with the proposal, commented that they had been given complete freedom by Harada as long as the song included Swedish lyrics to fit Lars' nationality.[18] BatAAr's theme song for Lars was ultimately titled "Vrede".

Across all his appearances, Lars has been voiced by Junichi Suwabe, except for Street Fighter X Tekken, in which he is voiced by Zach Hanks.[19] Lars appears in the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 live-action short film portrayed by Jonathan Henry.[20]

Appearances

In the Tekken series

Following Jin Kazama's victory at the King of Iron Fist Tournament in Tekken 5, the Mishima Zaibatsu corporation declares worldwide war, and the opposition of the rival G Corporation results in mass casualties.[21] During the battles, many members of the Zaibatsu's Tekken Force unit defect from the organization, and Lars leads the coup d'état against the Zaibatsu, becoming a ranking officer in the new Tekken Force.[22]

Positive response to Lars' redesign by Kishimoto led to his inclusion in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.[23]

In the story-driven Scenario Campaign mode from the console versions of Tekken 6, Lars is made into the central character. After the infiltration of a Mishima Zaibatsu-run laboratory goes awry and a series of Jack robots overwhelm Lars' rebel squadron, Lars loses his memory and begins to seek out his true purpose. Joined by an activated robot named Alisa Bosconovitch, he crosses the world trying to find his own identity.[24] Along the way, he meets a lieutenant in his rebel Tekken Force army, who tries to enlist him to help the cause once more. Lars' memory is restored upon encountering his father Heihachi Mishima at his compound, at which point he also rediscovers his purpose. He resumes his role as the leader of the rebel Tekken Force army and infiltrates both G Corporation, and eventually the Mishima Zaibatsu itself, where he encounters his half brother, Kazuya, and his newphew, Jin.[25] Before he is able to fight Jin at the Zaibatsu headquarters, it is revealed that Alisa has been acting as Jin's surveillance unit and has been monitoring Lars' movements around the world causing Lars and Alisa to become enemies. At this point, a warrior named Raven offers to accompany Lars, and together the two pursue Jin into the desert, where he intends to awaken the ancient beast "Azazel". At Azazel's Temple, Raven and Lars collectively defeat the newly awoken Azazel, and encounter Alisa and Jin one more time. Lars disables Alisa and engages Jin in battle in revenge for his treatment towards Alisa.[26] During the fight, Azazel reappears and Jin turns his attention to the monster. Jin destroys Azazel seemingly at the cost of his own life.[27] He brings the disabled Alisa to his partner Lee Chaolan, who offers to restore her. After leaving Alisa with Lee and parting company with Raven, Lars gets a call summoning him for a new mission.[28] Lars' role in this game is also briefly shown in the manga Tekken Comic.[29]

In Tekken 7, Lars returns as a playable character. In the story mode, he finds the missing Jin in Middle East and rescues him. He reunites with a restored Alisa and Lee, but the three are attacked by the Tekken forces, with Lars' forces trying to stop them to distract them from Jin.[30] He once again saves Jin's life in the headquarters from a journalist during the battle. After seeing Kazuya killing Heihachi, Lars reveals that the reason why he saved Jin is that he wants him to kill Kazuya and end the Devil Gene curse, a gene that appears in both Jin and Kazuya.[31]

Lars also appears in the spinoff games Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, and Tekken Revolution.[32][33][34] While none of these games have a story, finishing Tag Tournament 2 as Lars results in a dream sequence where he tries to have a meal with all his relatives, but fails to eat anything.

Other appearances

Outside of the Tekken franchise, he is also featured as a playable character in the fighting game Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, featuring his alternate Tekken 6 costume designed by Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto.[35] He also appears as a playable downloadable content character in the crossover game Street Fighter X Tekken, with his official tag partner, Alisa.[36] In the story mode, the duo join forces to destroy Pandora's Box.[37] For the 2013 updated edition of this game, there were multiple changes to his character.[38]

Lars' inclusion in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 was initially conceived by CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama. In 2009, Matsuyama saw a Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine issue article where it started that Lars' third design had been made by Kishimoto. While initially impressed by the promotion, to the point of finding him suitable for Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Matsuyama later looked at the design and wanted to include him in CyberConnect2's Naruto game. As a result, he asked Tekken 6 producer Suguru Sasaki, as well as the entire team, to propose him for inclusion in the game with that outfit. Once they had the permission, the Tekken staff started assisting CyberConnect2 in recreating his moves to fit the other Naruto characters in the game. While working in the cel shading and moves, the staff concluded "Yup, that’s him all right". Once the work was concluded, Matsuyama was surprised by how well Lars fitted within Ultimate Ninja Storm 2's cast. Although Lars does not appear in the game's story mode, he is still playable, and Matsuyama expected fans to use Lars in online and offline modes.[23]

Reception

As former heroes of Tekken like Jin and Kazuya gave in to their darker impulses, Lars rose through the ranks to fight for good. Ostensibly the lead hero in Tekken 6, he teamed with Alisa to try and take down Jin's Mishima Zaibatsu before it destroyed the world. Until entering the tournament, Lars alone held the secret that he was Heihachi's illegitimate son.

Henry Gilbert of GamesRadar in 2012[39]

Critical reception to Lars' character has often been mixed, with several writers commenting on the character's outfit. IGN's Ryan Clements found Lars appealing, commenting on his "badass nature" as well as his moveset, often consisting of punches aimed at the opponent's face. Additionally, the accessories that became available to Lars were noted to make the him more likable, to the point of commenting "I don't think you realize how badass this guy is".[40] On the other hand, writers from GameSpy labeled Lars as "Captain Ridiculous", owing to his "absurd" design, which they found similar to Michael Jackson. Nevertheless, he liked his gameplay mechanics as it made him a fast character and allowed to overwhelm the opponents.[41] Writing for 1UP.com, Shane Bettenhausen also praised Lars' moves, mentioning their balance between speed and strength. Both Bettenhausen and Bryce McDonough from IGN AU considered the character's appearance ridiculous comparing him with Final Fantasy protagonists despite his integral role in the story. Nevertheless, both of them praised his moves.[42][43] Similarly, Nelson Hum of GameFocus called Lars a "dud" and "Dragon Ball reject".[44] On other hand, Videogamer.com's Wesley Yin-Poole, while calling Lars "the emo", he mentioned added that his hairstyle and cape are "classic Tekken."[45][46]

Other writers were more negative in regards to Lars. Jeff Gerstmann from GiantBomb considered his actions in the plot "pretty dull", and concluded that his leading role in the story mode was "sloppy", since, while players were able to choose any character to play with, Lars was always the one focused during the fights.[47] GameSpot's Justin Calvert found him similar to Jin Kazama and commented that "the only thing remarkable about him on this occasion was his gravity-defying hair style."[48] In listing the worst haircuts in gaming, Destructoid's Chad Concelmo listed Lars as a runner-up.[49] In the book The Language of Gaming, writer Astrid Ensslin commented Lars' character was met with critique mostly in Western audiences, based on how his role in the Scenario Campaign mode is presented.[50] What Culture was more negative, criticizing his moves, which they found overpowered to the point of Namco needing to change them to balance them. Additionally, his role in Tekken 6 and Tekken 7 was the subject of more criticism, citing how he overshadows previous protagonists, and finding Lars' apparent romance with Alisa strange due to the latter being a robot.[51]

Nonetheless, Lars has also been the subject of better reviews by journalists. In a GamesRadar article for Street Fighter X Tekken, they highly praised Lars' characterization for coming up as a more heroic character, in contrast to other protagonists from Tekken like the antagonistics Jin and Kazuya.[39] Due to the character's moves, Lars has often been advised by writers to be used for rookies players for Tekken 7.[52][53] In a 2012 official fan poll held by Bandai Namco, Lars was one of the most requested Tekken character for inclusion in Tekken X Street Fighter, receiving 9755 (11.05%) of 88,280 votes.[54] In thetoptens, Lars was listed as one of the best characters from Tekken 6 based on his moves and with praise on his design.[55] Gavin Jasper from Den of Geek made an article about how the entire Mishima family is always clashing each other, with noted how Lars might break this curse.[56] The same site also listed him as the 27th-best Tekken character, finding his role in his first game positive, comparing him with Mortal Kombat newer protagonists such as Shujinko or Taven, which he felt were less appealing. The site also had mixed thought in regards to how Lars is capable of escaping the curse of the Mishima family, who are destined to fight each other.[57] Nevertheless, despite Lee Chaolan and him teaming up, rather than fighting like their relatives, helped expand Lee's popularity according to Gavin.[58] Lars was also listed as the third best Tekken hero by Listas as well as the 22nd best character from the franchise.[59][60] Following Tekken 7's release in consoles, What Culture listed Lars as its 26th best character citing various improvements in regards to its gameplay but still criticized his design.[61] At the MCM London Comic Con 2009, a Tekken 6 player named Eliot Smith-Walters was awarded the Guinness World Record for the longest winning streak in Tekken 6, by winning 68 consecutive matches, using mainly Lars.[62] The character has also been popular within cosplayers; most notably in 2012, where a Brazilian pair won an award for cosplaying as him and Alisa.[63] VG247's James O'Connor enjoyed Lars' fight in Tekken 7 against multiple armed guards despite how ridiculous he found it.[64] Different types of merchandising with Lars' image have also been released.[65][66][67]

Todd Ciolek from Anime News Network liked Lars' alternate costume Kishimoto made for him, calling it "one of the more stylish Naruto super-ninja".[68] Spencer from Siliconera found it similar to a member from Akatsuki, the series' antagonists.[13]

Lars' addition to Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 has received mostly positive comments. Kotaku's Mike Fahey liked it, as it helped to expand the game's roster, but thought others characters from the Tekken series would be more suitable than Lars.[69] A similar comment was made by Tyler Nagata, a writer from GamesRadar, who found Lars' alternate design to resemble Naruto's character Sasuke Uchiha, despite not suffering changes for the game.[70] Jamin Smith from Videogamer called it a "strange crossover", but still noted that fighting games fans would appreciate his appearance in the game.[71] Destructoid's writer Bob Muir stated Tekken fans might be interested in playing Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 based on Lars' inclusion.[72]
