Sebastian (セバスチャン Sebasuchan?) is a character in the Tekken fighting game series who serves as a butler to Lili and the de Rochefort Family. He first appeared in Lili's Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Tekken 6 endings and made his debut as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

Biography

Personality

Unlike his employer, Mr. de Rochefort, Sebastian seems to approve of Lili's desire to fight, as seen in her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending, and seems to have even adopted her fighting style. Him being able to fight and move the same as Lili could be considered non-canon, however, as it is seen only in the aforementioned non-canon game.

Sebastian appears to be a kind and caring man. He is always happy and positive for Lili's accomplishments, as seen in Lili's Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection ending when he congratulates her for winning the tournament, crying with joy for her. He also seems to equate Lili’s fights with and teasing of Asuka as her "making friends" and showing affection . Nevertheless, he always loyally assists Lili in her antics, either at her side directly or via calls.

Story

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Not much is known about Sebastian. His only line in Lili's ending is; "Truly splendid, Miss Lili.", to which Lili replies; "Sebastian, you're too much. I only did what any daughter would do". What Sebastian and Lili do not realize is that Rochefort Enterprises is now bankrupt.

Tekken 6

Sebastian makes an appearance in Lili's ending where, after she and Asuka get into a fight, he happily comments that Lili is already making friends.

Other Appearances

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Sebastian makes his playable debut in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 via downloadable content. He shares Lili's fighting style for a currently unexplained reason. Although he shares most of her core techniques, he seems to have developed some attacks of his own and also has various moves that Lili has "forgotten".

Profile:
Butler of the de Rochefort family, Sebastian devotes himself to his butler and fighting duties. His days are plagued by worry over Lili's dangerous activities, though he considers her rivalry with Asuka Kazama to be nothing more than a strong friendship.[4]

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Sebastian Arcade Ending

Ending Description: After the tournament, Sebastian is driving Lili home in her Limo. She seems aloof so he suggests they listen to music to brighten the mood. He turns on the radio and hears an announcer talking about Sebastian's unforeseen victory at the tournament. Worried this would only frustrate Lili further, he quickly changes the station, and again there is an announcer talking about him. He surfs through station after station hearing only talks about him and then destroys the radio. When they arrive at her mansion, he opens Lili's door and she exits the Limo and quietly congratulates Sebastian on his victory. He happily thanks her as she walks off inside the mansion.

Gameplay

Sebastian's fighting style is the same as Lili's, with minor changes in some moves. Most are moves that Lili had in previous games. He has Lili's Stinging Nettle that can avoid some right side hitting attacks, he also has her old Pendulum Strike attack, and her old Shattered Crown. His Eldeweiss db4 attack is buffed and low launches on normal hit, whereas Lili's in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 only launched on counter hit, and he receives a new jumping uf4 attack that replaces her Sunflower Lance attack. Sebastian also receives a new while rising 3,4 attack as.

Overall, Sebastian plays much like Lili, but due to him missing her updated moves and using her old attacks in place of her more refined new attacks, this somewhat limits him offensive wise. However, his more limited options make him slightly more simple to use, and any experienced Lili player who remembers her old move set can feel right at home using him, especially as a tag partner with Lili.

Fighting Style

Sebastian fights using the same self-taught fighting style as Lili.

Trivia

General:

  • King's Tekken 3 theme can be heard in Sebastian's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending when he changes the radio to the second channel.
  • It is implied that Sebastian accompanies Lili in her matches as she will directly look at the camera asking if "he can do better than this" in her victory pose, as though she is speaking to him.
  • Sebastian has appeared in all of Lili's endings aside from in Tekken 7. In Asuka's shared ending with her, however, Lili calls him.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2:

  • Sebastian's item move involves him forcing his opponent down before knocking them away with his cane. This also forces the opponent to tag in their partner.
  • When teaming up with Lili, they have a special win pose where Lili is seen performing the same "Sebastian, they say they're leaving already." win pose with Sebastian quickly turning to follow behind her. This again implies that Sebastian is always accompanying Lili to her fights.
  • Sebastian is the only male character that can perform the Bitch Slaps.
  • Sebastian's role as a playable character is similar to Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, Rachel's butler from the BlazBlue series, in which he becomes playable in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II. Both are portrayed as battle butlers and fight for their masters.
