This made air combat more controllable, and put more use to sidestep dodges, as jumping no longer became a universal dodge move that was flying above all of the ground moves. Another big change in movement was that jumping was toned down, no longer allowing fighters to jump to extreme heights (as was present in previous games), but keeping leaps to reasonable, realistic heights. Perhaps the most noticeable change from Tekken 2 's fighting system is movement reform - whereas the element of depth had been largely insignificant in previous Tekken games (aside from some characters having unique sidesteps and dodging maneuvers), Tekken 3 added emphasis on the third axis, allowing all characters to sidestep in or out of the background by lightly pressing the arcade stick (or tapping the controller button in the console version) towards the corresponding direction.

Tekken 3 maintains the same core fighting system and concept as its predecessors, but brings many improvements, such as significantly more detailed graphics and animations, fifteen new characters added to the game's roster, more modern music, and faster and more fluid gameplay. It was followed by the canon sequel Tekken 4 in arcades and on the PlayStation 2 in 20, respectively.

A non-canon sequel was released in 19 in arcades and on the PlayStation 2 respectively, titled Tekken Tag Tournament. With more than 8.5 million copies sold worldwide, Tekken 3 is the second best selling fighting game of all time, second to only Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and the fourth best-selling PlayStation game ever. Tekken 3 is widely considered one of the greatest games of all time. The home version included a new beat'em up mode called Tekken Force, as well as the bonus Tekken Ball mode.

The game features a largely new cast of characters, including the debut of several now-staple characters such as Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, Julia Chang and Hwoarang, with a total of twenty-three characters. It was also the last installment of the series released for the first PlayStation. Tekken 3 was the first game released on Namco System 12 hardware (an improvement over the original two Tekken games, which used System 11).
