Story

Manual Version

Forrest is Marshall Law's proud son. Paul dragged him into the Tournament, but now he feels that this is an ideal opportunity to prove his strength to his father and to himself.

Official Version

Living in his father's shadow... The proud son of Marshall Law, Forrest 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. Forrest 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 Forrest 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. Forrest 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.

Ending Animation "Middle Age"

Paul and Forrest arrive at Marshall's Dojo on Paul's motorcycle. Paul and Forrest walk into the building and meet Marshall Law. They walk in and bow their heads slightly. Marshall looks angry. Marshall points behind himself with one of his thumbs. Paul, Marshall, and Forrest are then seen stretching. Then, Forrest wants to teach Marshall and Paul a suicide kip-up. A noise can then be heard. Marshall is shown laying on the floor on his stomach, and Paul is shown sitting on the ground. They did not successfully do the suicide kip-up. Forrest shrugs.

Forrest Law is featured as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament, a non-canonical Tekken game. This is Forrest's last appearance as a playable character.

Ending Animation

Forrest and Paul Phoenix are training in Forrest's first Tekken Tag Tournament stage (called "Law-A"), performing many mirrored punches and kicks. Suddenly, they turn to each other, not realizing their position, and accidentally kick each other in the testicles. Both of their faces are distorted as they scream in pain and fall to the ground.

Tekken 5

Although Forrest does not participate in the fifth tournament, he plays a significant role as he is the reason for Marshall entering. During this time, Forrest went for a joyride on Paul Phoenix's bike, despite his reservations against it, and ended up causing a major traffic accident. This is the reason why his father, Marshall, decides to enter the tournament in order to pay off the large sum of property damage and Forrest's hospital bills that arose from the situation.
