The proud son of Marshall Law, Forest trains at his father's dojo to achieve Marshall's success and greatness. As a protective father, Marshall has forbidden his son from entering any contests outside the dojo. Marshall Law is a character in the Tekken fighting game series. ...


Marshall's long-time friend and competitor, Paul Phoenix, visits once every few months to spar with Marshall. One day, when Paul arrived, Marshall was away supervising the building of a new dojo.

Paul sold Forest on the idea by telling him he's a better fighter than his father. Forest knew his father would be angry, but he had to prove that he was worthy of one day inheriting the dojo.

A month after the tournament, Marshall received a phone call from his wife back home in the United States. Forest had taken Paul's motorcycle for a reckless joyride and ended up causing a major traffic accident. Marshall needed an enormous sum of money to cover the property damage and hospital bills.

Endings

Tekken 3

Paul gives Forrest a ride back to his father's dojo. Upon getting in, Marshall points at the practice room, instructing them to go there. The three of them start practicing Jeet Kune Do moves (Paul included), until Marshall does a somersault kick. Forrest hears a loud thud and turns to see that it was Paul who failed on performing a somersault kick himself. Forrest just shrugs it off.

Tekken Tag Tournament

Forrest and Paul are sparring until, at a given moment, they punch each other's faces at the same time.

Trivia

  • Forrest's 1st selection attire resembles Bruce Lee's, in the movie "Enter the Dragon."
  • Forrest's ending in Tekken 3 is a remake of Marshall's ending in Tekken 2.
  • In Tekken Tag Tournament, Forrest's 5th selection attire resembles Bruce Lee's in the unreleased "Game of Death", though with no sleeves.
  • One of Forrest's winning pose where he raised his leg and turned backwards is taken from Enter the Dragon, during the scene where Lee (played by Bruce Lee) was visited by O'Hara (played by Robert Wall), reprimanding him to wear the uniform to attend at the next day's ceremony. In the future installments of Tekken, Marshall Law also gains this winning pose.
  • In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, in Lili's intro, someone very similar to Forrest can be seen scrawled on the ground. The narrator says that Lili got her invitation to the tournament from an opponent she'd defeated in a street fight in San Francisco. Fans have speculated and theorized that this opponent could have been Forrest before the motorcycle accident.
  • In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Marshall can easily be customised to look like Forrest.
