The proud son of Marshall
Law, Forest trains at
his father's dojo to achieve Law's success and greatness. As a protective
father, Marshall has forbidden his son from entering any contests outside the
dojo. 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 insisted that Forest join him in
some training exercises. Forest declined knowing that his father would
disapprove. But Paul wouldn't take no for an answer.
Unaware of Marshall's restrictions on fighting, Paul suggested to Forest that he
join 'The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3'. 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.
Marshall was enraged when he found out what happened. To him, it was as if his
son had been kidnapped.

Like his father,
Forest Law is an awesome homage to Bruce Lee... taking his father's place in Tekken
3. He's possibly supposed to represent Brandon Lee, while Law represents Bruce Lee...
a very clever move on Namco's part. I never thought they really needed to make an
entirely new character
in the Tekken storyline, and I think Namco agreed, since Marshall Law returned in Tekken 4,
5 & 6.
Until Tekken Tag 2, there was never much difference between Marshall & Forest, since both
designs took turns with the same moveset and evolved it with each
sequel. I was glad they brought back Marshall Law in Tekken 4 and after... for
some reason I always liked him better. After having a brief cameo in the Rustic
Asia stage in Tekken 6, Forest Law finally returned to the ring in Tekken Tag
Tournament 2! For the first time ever, father and son are both selectable in
the game (complete with awesome tag throws). In TTT2, Forest Law presents
a variety of unique animations and a cocky personality... gotta love all his
taunts. Namco did a great job bringing Forest Law up to speed., and
distinguishing him from his father. (Don't you dare call him a clone.)
