Dislikes Introduction
Marshall Law was introduced in the original Tekken, and he returned for all subsequent games, except Tekken 3 and the non-canonical Tekken Tag Tournament, where he was replaced by his son, Forest Law, using the same fighting style. He is known as "The Fighting Chef".
His fighting style is credited as "Martial Arts," due to a translation error that was never corrected; it was reportedly supposed to be a pun on "Marshall Arts", which is pronounced the same way. In actuality, his fighting style is Jeet Kune Do, a "style" created by Bruce Lee, the martial artist whom Marshall Law is based on.
Games in order of appearance: Tekken, 1994. Tekken 2, 1996. Tekken 4, 2001. Tekken 5, 2004. Tekken 6, 2007. Tekken Tag Tournament 2, 2012.

Story
Prologue (In-Game Text)
Marshall Law was a successful businessman - he managed a newly established dojo and even owned a nationwide Chinese fast food chain called Marshall China. Unfortunately, he lost a franchise war against a competitor and had to declare bankruptcy a year later. Unable to deal with his failure, Marshall fell into depression and spent his days at home in a drunken haze. Then one day, a notice for the Tournament arrived at his doorstep. Marshall's eyes flashed with renewed vigor. After a month of intense training, he beat himself back into top physical form. Something ignited a fire within Marshall. "This is it," he said to himself, "I must place everything on the line for this Tournament and win!" The fire within raged hotter than ever before.
Epilogue (In-Game Text)
Law won the tournament and earned the Mishima Zaibatsu fortune. His fighting spirit was now focused on rebuilding the Marshall China restaurant empire.
Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
The outside of a Marshall China is shown. Marshall walks through the Marshall China and watches his customers. One of the customers says, "Man, the food here sucks!" Another customer, who is at the same table, says, "We hafta pay for this?" Marshall hears them and walks over to them. Marshall asks, "What did you just say?" The customer (the one that said, "Man, the food here sucks!") replies, "You heard me, I said this food sucks! You expect us to eat this stuff?!" Marshall asks, "What do you mean it sucks?!" The man answers, "This pepper beef is too damn spicy!!" Marshall uppercuts the man into the air. Then, Marshall tries some of the Marshall China food. He says, "What are you talking about? This is good!" The other customer (the one that said, "We hafta pay for this?") smashes a glass bottle on Marshall's head. Angered, Marshall says, "...You!" Marshall kicks the man, and the man falls to the ground. Marshall starts fighting with some of the other customers. He knocks a white man wearing a black shirt onto a African American wearing a red shirt. A newspaper with "The New York Flash" has "Marshall China Goes Out of Business" as a headline. Other things that can be read on the newspaper are, "Marshall China Loses in Court" and "The factor of a lost case". A black and white photo of someone holding Marshall back is also on the newspaper. Next, some men in red shirts are seen throwing punches and grunting. Marshall is shown, and he says, "No, no, no. Put more anger into it!" Marshall shouts loud and throws an uppercut as an example of what he wants the other men to do. The men start throwing faster punches, and they start grunting louder. The outside of the building, Marshall Dojo, is shown as Marshall says, "Yeah! That's more like it! Lower your stance a bit more, and..." The ending video ends.
Trivia
In his ending, a customer complains to Marshall about a dish at his restaurant, Marshall China, being too spicy. In Tekken 6, when Asuka Kazama encounters Marshall during Scenario Campaign, she tells him that she wants to try this spicy dish, and he insists that it is not spicy at all.

Ending, "Bike Problem" (Unofficial Synopsis)
The outside of a building is shown. Marshall walks out of it, lowers his head, sighs, and says, "Broke again." Someone on a bicycle is approaching Marshall. Marshall goes into a fighting stance. The person on the bicycle is revealed to be Paul Phoenix. Paul appears to be having difficulty pedaling. When Paul reaches Marshall, the bicycle falls apart, and Paul falls to the ground. Paul hands a stack of papers to Marshall and says, "Here..." Marshall looks at the paper on the top of the stack and opens his mouth wide in shock. It is a bill for $34,500.00 from BikeShop XYZ. Apparently, this is a bill for Paul's motorcycle. Paul signed "Marshall Law" on the bill. Paul begs Marshall to pay his debt. (He says, "Come on, man. Pay the bill already.") Marshall nervously groans for a few seconds. Then, the screen changes to make it appear as if the two are about to fight (there are health bars and a timer above them, they are in their fighting stances, and an announcer says, "Round 1. Fight!"). Marshall performs an uppercut that knocks Paul into the air and completely depletes Paul's health bar. Paul falls to the ground, landing on his back. Marshall runs away, dropping the papers as the ending video ends.
Trivia
Marshall can be customized to look like his son Forest.
In Marshall's ending, the music that plays in the short round between Paul and himself is the City at Sunset theme.

Story
Prologue (In-Game Text)
During the middle of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, it was discovered that Marshall Law was working illegally in Japan, and as a result he was immediately deported to his home country of the United States of America. With the deadline to pay for the damages of his son’s accident fast approaching, hopes of getting the money needed were slim. Just then, his best friend Paul Phoenix approached him with the idea of forming a team—securing a high-ranking prize alone would certainly be difficult, but if he was part of a team, the probability of winning would be much higher. Marshall accepted Paul’s invite, but thinking a three-man team was better than a two-man team, the renowned boxer Steve Fox caught his attention.
Ending, "Strong Laxative" (Unofficial Synopsis)
In a distant house, Marshall was seen celebrating with Paul Phoenix and Steve Fox over their win in the tournament, which is obvious due to the many large money cases in the background. Unfortunately for both Paul and Steve, Marshall was holding a small bottle that had "Strong Laxatives" labled on the front. And with super-swift hands, he puts the laxatives onto a whole pizza. "It's ready, My special recipe pizza!". Marshall places the pizza onto the table "It's about time!" Paul says as he takes a slice. "It looks delicious." Steve complimented. Paul and Steve eat the pizza, and they sat there telling Marshall how good it was, Until their faces turned pale blue. Steve and Paul stood up grasping their genitals, and rushed to the bathroom. Unfortunately for Paul, Steve arrived first, leaving Paul shouting at him and holding it in.
Unnoticed, Marshall sneaks out of the house, carrying all the money cases on his back, saying "Sorry, guys. See ya!" as he leaves.
Trivia
For the first time since Tekken 2, Marshall is cleanly shaved which lead many people to assume that he was Forest Law in early screen shots of the game.
Marshall's item move is wielding nunchaku, which unlike other item moves, can be used infinitely with no delay. This makes him resemble Maxi from the Soul Calibur series.
In the Scenario Campaign mode of Tekken 6, Marshall is a boss at West District Chinatown.
Marshall is one of the two characters that does not fight Azazel in the "Arena" mode. The other is Raven. Marshall doesn't fight Jin either. His opponents are a random assortment of the tournament's participants. In order, his opponents are Baek, Marduk, Zafina, and Ganryu.
