@@ThatBlastedSalami It'd be great if you could cover other more significant generational upgrades in these retrospectives like soundtrack, stages, extra modes, battle options! While I prefer seeing your summary of the meta and character strengths, the earlier topics might be more exciting for general non-FGC and casual watchers.
As a side note, I'd like to add that this game had the absolutely most lit intro ever. Props to TBS for the message at the end of the video: those who cry about T7 balance probably don't know how lucky they actually are. Great job as always.
@@kurtcometa4818 ugh, seriously! I played them all up to 4 and just came back for 7, so I consider 5 to be “late stage” tekken since I was already an adult when that came out. Now I’m ancient I guess, just call me wang
I can't begin to tell you how much I love tekken 5, it was one of the first fighting game that made me realize "fighting games are fucking cool" when I was like 7 years old. Love the videos as always, keep up the good content
Another honorable mention: The Tekken 5 stages and OST. They were incredible and still remain the best overall to this day. And then there's moonlit wilderness. Which simply outclasses every single other stage and OST in the game.
@@unchartedrocks1 I always think of Anna's intro or Bryans maniacal laugh intro when someone talks about Secret Garden. That stage REALLY needs to return in Tekken 8
Story time that I think all Tekken fans will appreciate, and many will share in: I started with Tekken 2. When I first played the amazing T3, learned the lore, and why my favorites -- Kaz and Jun were gone, obv Jin became my fav. And his ending with the first Devil Jin sighting was incredible. Tag came out and it ruled. Then 4 came out. I LOVE T4. Kazuya was back and that intro of him soloing the Mishima army still gives me chills. But T4 notably had no supernatural elements, until, again, you made it to the Mishima endings. And the canonical ending gave you another taste of Devil Jin. But you couldnt play him OR Devil Kaz. I didn't pick up T5 day one. I was a teen to a single mom of 3. So Tekken left my mind for a couple years. Then one day, I finally got my hands on it at a friend's, watched the epic intro, then went into character select and saw Devil Jin. I put my controller down and my jaw dropped. While I still play Kaz over DJ, very, VERY few moments in gaming ever paid off as well as that moment I first selected Devil Jin and fought my buddy's Paul.
Bryan went from the "Most Overrated" in Tag 1 and 4 to finally reaching the Top 5 in Tekken 5. Doctor Bosconovitch's perpetual generator pays immediate dividends! Meanwhile, Lei had the biggest fall from grace.
I love how he's like, "Oh, look, Devil Jin's top 5. Shocking. Moving on." What's interesting to me about this game is how it brought back or introduced a new "version" of every character who hadn't had a canon appearance since Tekken 2, except Armor King and Kunimitsu. Wang, Bruce, Ganryu, and Baek came back, while they introduced a new Roger, a new Kazama style fighter, and a Mishima with lasers. Considering we got a new Armor King in T6, another canon Kuni was kind of overdue in a way.
@@davidparry5310 Really? I've seen so little of that game I thought Lili and Dragunov were the only new characters. Kind of makes my point of taking this long to get a new Kuni stand out more.
My favourite Tekken game of all time. This was the game that got me into the series. I still play it to this day. That soundtrack is still godly. I think this game is perfect. So much content to keep you playing for a very long time. It is definitely one of my favourite fighting games of all time.
This is the one I recommend learning Tekken to, if you can't stand the janky retro-graphics or bright colors of T3. Then T7. And after that, Tag 2 is the Master Class.
The last game where we actually had to beat the game to unlock characters. That was such a big part of the excitement of fighting games back in the day and now thanks to online we have everything gifted to us from the start and that takes away so much of the excitement of the game
As a Tekken newcomer I have to say these videos are exceptionally informative and interesting. I love seeing how the series progressed into what it is now. Excellent work, as always.
I've gotta say, I absolutely love your content. I've been watching all of your KI guides and most if not all of your TEKKEN 7 guides. And I cannot stress enough how much better I've gotten at matchups. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these videos
I will always be a Bryan main. Since Tekken 3, the moves Chains of Misery and Fisherman's Slam got me hooked as a kid, and now in Tekken 7 counter hit knees and soccer kicks keep my pants tight.
Why is the best tekken game imo? (This also includes the 5 DR version) Everything about it was amazing - The charachter epilogues are so well done - The gameplay was amazing, (aerial combos were back) - This game had the most iconic character endings - Iconic soundtrack - Iconic stages - Playing competitive online was a good scene back then with this game - Iconic cast - And finally had the most iconic intro in the series
I remember when T5 came out in London, lots of arcades picked it up and there were always people playing. It might have been the last time nearly every random arcade in central picked up a fighting game at once; it really seemed to unite the TTT and T4 crowd. Plus I was always amazed at seeing people crowded into that corner in Troc, playing £1 to play on the stiffest sticks lol. Glad to see you're still doing well Arya! ;)
It definitely is interesting hearing TBS talk about how Feng always fall off the meta as it progresses and now in late Tekken 7 (years later), Feng is one of the best characters in the game.
Tekken 5's stages look so good. The lighting effect and the fog at Moonlight Wilderness. Or the heat wave when you fight at Burning Temple. And in the beta version I reckon the heat wave effect felt stronger. The early trailers and demo videos left a strong impression on me 17 years ago.
Another thing I want to add is the fact the game was only available on PSP, and then around less than a year later it was released on ps3. This made some tournament organizers reluctant to move on to T5DR, since ps3's were expensive and the $299 model was not out yet. So in my town ppl would play T5DR at the arcades, but the bigger tournaments were played on T5.0 on ps2. Groups of players who didn't have an easy access to arcades also continued to play T5.0.
Tekken 5 introduction of Feng Wei is maybe the biggest reason i remember this game. Me and my family are Massive Jet Li film fans and we had just seen Jet Li's Fearless. Then we Rented Tekken 5 and we immediately got Evil Jet Li vibes from Feng wei and his place in the series afterwards makes him stand next to my other favorites like Steve Fox and Bryan Fury.
Along with PND Ketchup's MKMeta/Character History videos these retrospectives are some of my favorite fighting game content on UA-cam. I really hope this catches on with other community creators as having these things that maybe newer players like myself weren't around for is such a great way to get up to speed on the history of a game. Can't wait for Death By Degrees and Tekken GBA Retrospectives
I remember watching your Tekken Retrospective series the first time they released. Now that they popped up again in my recommended feed, I already noticed that it's already been over a year since released. Jesus time really is going fast when you have a great time with watching these videos.
I've actually had new insights into how to better apply the best moves of my favourite characters in the series due to your breakdowns in these videos, so I must thank you for it! 🎮🕹😎🥋
This is the most complete game in the series. It had a ton of fun characters, great music and stages, and I personally loved being able to go back and play arcade history as someone who was too young to experience the PSX games.
Really think you underrated Feng. He had a df1 that was plus on block and knocked down on crouching opponents. Even if the opponent reacted and teched (which was a quick reaction test), the oki was insane. Yes, Feng is missing some stuff from later games, but his Tekken 5 kit is so absurd it was toned down in those later games.
My introduction to the series and thus the one I feel the most nostalgia towards That opening and that OST... Ended up playing as Asuka first and stuck with her more or less ever since
As someone who really only got into competitive Tekken with Tekken 7, it's very interesting to watch these videos and see how the series has evolved overtime. Hope to see you continue this series!
Ah here we go, been waitin for this for a while. This was my second Tekken but it's the one I remembered playin the most, really really love a lot of things bout it Also I love that "Sparking" opening soundtrack so much
I was really good at this game, used to grind out the ghost battles when I was about 12, I’m sure I could have won against the greats when I was in my prime.
@@Guitar-Dog wow ur the exact same as me! I used to reach tekken god so easily with my mains reset after reset that i memorized many unsafe moves, punishable lows etc of all chars even though i play only a few myself as my mains. I had such high confidence that i went to my nearest high lvl tekken arcades and challenged everyone... Got beaten pretty badly the first few days just coz i didnt get used to the best player's aggressiveness with his hyper speed steve gameplay. But after a few days research and practicing counter play i managed to at least beat him regularly. Idk about the nin and leddy levels tho coz they were beasts 😂
Excellent as always! I absolutely love this retrospective series, especially because they highlight and reveal some things that I didn't necessarily know growing up! Next up comes my absolute favorite Tekken game of all time
Tekken 5 and Soulcalibur 2 were gifts from my older brother when I was 10 years old. 17 years later, I love fighting games and they're my favorite genre. Tekken 5 was my first Tekken and I loved every minute I spent playing it.
I love this channel so much and it hurts to see you not a bigger channel with how much effort I can tell goes into all of these and other videos. Seeing your patreon is great tho. As always, amazing video man, I got the most nostalgia for tekken 5 and hearing that intro song again was great lmao (Also, these vids being in 4K gives me a reason to watch regardless of what it is lol)
I started with Tekken since T2, but even though I never took part in competitive until TTT2 or mostly T7, I still hold T5 as my favorite, with T7 and T3 following close, such great videos these retrospectives are PS: Poor Lei never gets love outside of T3.... where is the Love for Jackie Chan???
I literally have no idea what you are saying with regards to the fighting terms from a technical standpoint...but I'm hooked on these videos nonetheless haha, your delight in explaining this stuff is infectious!
Always a nice watch. Kind of a shame to see no coverage of Bruce coming back with a semi-reworked movelist. Though to be fair, it'll be more relevant to bring up during a Tekken 6 retrospective, where he joined Jin in the full rework boat.
Tekken 5 DR is my absolute favorite game of this franchise. The graphics, music, art style and fun gameplay. I really hope that Tekken 8 will be able to surpass it.
Despite the many problems that T5.0 had, it was genuinely fun to play, and because of this video, I've ended up missing it dearly. Thanks for the restrospective dude! I'm really looking forward to the T5DR episode, since many consider it as their favorite one.
That picture of TEKKEN 5 at an arcade made me sad. I noticed that one ticket roulette game, Fast and Furious Super Bikes. F&F the arcade game, jeopardy, and this one jump rope game in the background. I know we have a lot of options these days with home console releases but arcades will always hold a special place in my heart.
This was my first tekken game and the first fighting game I was super into. I remember dumping alot of time playing Asuka, Steve, and Lei. Still wish I had a PS2 to go back to it every now and then.
I’m gonna assume DR is getting its own video which is hype because that’s the tekken game that got me interested in the series even if I’ve never played the games competitively

Moonlit Wilderness was the Steve of T5 stages, no doubt.
Dragon Nest is hype as hell to listen to,though I find the pauses awkward.
The best OST in my opinion is massive stunner for the Garden stage. Every time that music played in the b.g. i knew shit was about to get real. 😎
I love it a lot and ground zero funk is a very close second for me
@@unchartedrocks1 I always think of Anna's intro or Bryans maniacal laugh intro when someone talks about Secret Garden.

"Come on, guy. It's Devil Jin, man."

I don't remember asking you anything bud
These are legit outstanding. I hope you keep going til we catch the franchise up.
I still get so hype whenever I here sparking, love it
I thought the long haired version of Devil Jin was a nice edgy look
Devil Jin looks way better in Tekken 5 than he does in Tekken 7.
Devil Jin's customization items in T5 allowed a long haired option which was since removed. I believe this is what they're referring to

Tekken 5 is probably the best game, much OP characters, guarranted launch situations and perfect stages
Tekken 5 is also the game where Anna started branching off from a Nina clone to be someone unique

@Nostalgic Person Yes, they are. So much information fluidly and clearly divulged.

Why is the best tekken game imo? (This also includes the 5 DR version)
Everything about it was amazing
- The charachter epilogues are so well done
- The gameplay was amazing, (aerial combos were back)
- This game had the most iconic character endings
- Iconic soundtrack
- Iconic stages
- Playing competitive online was a good scene back then with this game
- Iconic cast
- And finally had the most iconic intro in the series
I remember when T5 came out in London, lots of arcades picked it up and
there were always people playing. It might have been the last time
nearly every random arcade in central picked up a fighting game at once;
it really seemed to unite the TTT and T4 crowd. Plus I was always
amazed at seeing people crowded into that corner in Troc, playing £1 to
play on the stiffest sticks lol.
Glad to see you're still doing well Arya! ;)
Paying to playing with stiff sticks? Now that's my cuppa

Not since “High School Love” from TTT2
Nah it’s really cheesy, tekken 3 is way better and so is 4
Ground zero funk is the best for me
This was all I ever played back in the day. That "Greatest Hits" PS2 case.
For me it was the
"Platinum"
What this game had that knocked it out of the park is the intro.

That picture of TEKKEN 5 at an arcade made me sad. I noticed that one ticket roulette game, Fast and Furious Super Bikes. F&F the arcade game, jeopardy, and this one jump rope game in the background. I know we have a lot of options these days with home console releases but arcades will always hold a special place in my heart.
This was my first tekken game and the first fighting game I was super into. I remember dumping alot of time playing Asuka, Steve, and Lei. Still wish I had a PS2 to go back to it every now and then.
AHH my favourite anime

Edit: that was the fastest heart in my life.

Could we get more of these retros please?
good job arya brother always enjoyable too see !
Damn....This was my first tekken....No regrets
I’m gonna assume DR is getting its own video which is hype because that’s the tekken game that got me interested in the series even if I’ve never played the games competitively
Tekken in arcades is still going strong in the Philippines with Tekken 7 being very popular
Tekken 5 was my first fighting game experience !
Oh pls arya we all know steve was just a cover up for the real monster of tekken 5, jinpachi
