'''Tekken Tag Tournament'''
:Bruce throws many punches and kicks towards the camera. When he finishes, many people are seen defeated on the ground, and ] and ] are among them.

'''Tekken 5'''
:In an urban neighborhood, a boy is punching a sandbag. Three gangsters come and harass him. They cut open the sandbag with a pocket knife, beat the boy up and take his boxing gloves. Bruce appears and beats up the three gangsters and returns the gloves to the boy. He tells the boy to keep it up before walking away.

==Fighting Style==

Although Bruce and ] share some moves, their fighting styles are completely different. Bryan is more of a Brawler who utilizes Modern ], where as Bruce employs the "art of the eight limbs" ] Kickboxing. For example, Bruce can perform a double left kick like Bryan, but he cannot add a right kick or right uppercut to the end. Also, he can add a second left punch to his left-right-left combo, an addition that Bryan has lost after ]. Bruce cannot perform Run for Cover, only the first kick of that combo, which he has a stronger version of. His trademark left sweep kick to left uppercut is an attack that Bryan could always only half perform.
