Long wind-up time during which the opponent may attack you? Double check, and unlike Ralf, he doesn't have Ralf's usual benefits of being Immune to Flinching during the windup or his range. Awesome, but Impractical: Paul's Burning Fist is to this game pretty much the same as Ralf's Galactica Phantom to The King of Fighters series.Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: He has an ego as large as his flattop but does have plenty of muscle to back up his grandiose claims.He also has a "Tall Paul" style that increases the flat-top's length to ludicrous levels. Anime Hair: Paul's Polnareff-style flattop is a distinct part of his character design.Animal Nemesis: His rivalry with both Kuma.While he's no slouch, he's beaten by King and cannot put so much as a dent in Ogre even when teamed up with Xiaoyu and Hwaorang, a far cry from going undefeated in the tournament and taking down Ogre in Tekken 3. He's still plenty self-confident, but not to overly-exaggerated levels like in 5 onward, making him a lot more down-to-earth. Bloodline actually snaps Paul's characterization backwards to something more reminiscent of how he was portrayed in Tekken 4. Adaptation Personality Change: Downplayed and inverted to a degree.He wants to be in his opponent's face, constantly getting them to guess his mixup to get the most out of his kit. With many of his moves swaying Paul back and forth, he can greatly capitalize on whiff punishment with extremely damaging moves such as Demolition Man or Deathfist. In-game, Paul is a hard-hitting short-ranged fighter emphasizing a 50/50 mixup. This forces Paul into destitution, and knowing that the 8th tournament will be his final big chance to finally clear his debts, he teams up with his friend Law once again in order to split the prize money between them should either of them win. Unfortunately, with Heihachi's death, the tournament is canceled, leaving Paul with only a fraction of the prize he could have achieved.
This ultimately doesn't pan out, forcing him to enter the 7th tournament to try and make ends meet again. By the time of the 5th tournament, he is highly in debt to the government, and in 6, he teams up with Marshall Law and Steve Fox to split the prize money three ways. Afterward, he is eager to settle the score with Kazuya but always encounters bad luck with the situation, especially with Kuma I and Kuma II, who ends up as his true rivals of all people. Self-appointed "toughest man in the universe", the only guy to ever fight Kazuya to a draw, and one of only two people to beat Jin in a tournament match (the second being Hwoarang).
