Appearances



In video games


The various Jack models were originally created by the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation for different purposes:

The Jack series robots also appear in Tekken Tag Tournament (Jack-2, Gun Jack, and Prototype Jack) and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Jack-6 and Prototype Jack). The player's Jack character (barring original Jack, Prototype Jack, Jack-X and Jack-4) in most series is belonged to Jane.

In-game, the Jacks have traditionally shared a number of their moves with Kuma/Panda and Ganryu. In Tekken 5, however, Namco made a pronounced effort to differentiate all the shared moves between characters: the fighters still have a few similar moves, but their executions are completely different.[citation needed] In Tekken 5, Jack-5 is considered one of the most difficult characters to play.[2] Inversely, in Tekken 6, Jack-6 is considered one of the easiest characters to learn.[3]


In other media


Jack-2 appears in Tekken: The Motion Picture as a main character, with slight modifications to his Tekken 2 storyline. This time, he is in search of a cure for Jane's illness. Jack-6's dossier is briefly seen in the CGI film Tekken: Blood Vengeance when Anna Williams opens a file containing dossiers on various persons of interest. Jack appears as a Spirit in the Nintendo crossover video game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[4]


Reception


GameDaily ranked Jack as the 24th top video game robot, stating, "While not the most popular character in the Tekken series, Jack punched its way to become a worthy opponent".[5] Jack was featured on a list of the best video game robots by Now Gamer, placing him second out of 10, and adding "He's like the Terminator, if Drago-era Dolph Lundgren played the Terminator instead of that other guy" and ranking him at number 7.[6] UGO Networks featured him in the article "We Love These Video Game Robots Even Though They Can't Love Back".[7] PopCrunch ranked Jack ninth on their list of the best AI characters in video games.[8]

GamesRadar mentioned him in the "Robots that don't make any sense" article, questioning "Another Jack? Is that a popular robot name?".[9] In GamesRadar article for Street Fighter X Tekken, they stated "Jack-X seems to be one of the newest models in the series, the buff robot sometimes works for the Mishimas, other times he competes to learn something about himself."[10] Complex compared Jack and Yoshimitsu to Seth and Cycloid-Y from the Street Fighter series, predicting the former two would win in a fight.[11] In 2012, Complex also listed Prototype Jack as the 15th coolest robot in video games.[12] Gaming Target listed Jack as the ninth best Tekken character.[13] GameSpy named Jack as one of the "25 Extremely Rough Brawlers" in video gaming, commenting "Featuring massive metal arms that are as big as its entire body, Jack simply and unemotionally crushes the competition."[14]

PlayStation Official Magazine listed Jack as one of "The best PlayStation robots," stating, "the reason we like Jack, all the Jacks, is their simplicity. They are massive and can batter people around the face with swooping mechanized doom fists".[15]
