"Devil players in Tag are now Devil Jin players." True, Tag was my first Tekken and played Devil and Kazuya. (Jin had some moves from Mishimas I used.) When I played Tekken 5, I immediately started Devil Jin. 😂
This is the best tekken. I have so many memories attached with this game. We used to play this in arcades and at that time we were not that bothered about the frame data. I used to play with Devil & Ogre. Best tag ever
@@r_p_g_tk i also liked tag 2 alot, but to competitive players it was shit cuz there were so many broken spammable moves and so many characters that it was too frustrating
I’m really liking how devil looks in T7 matches from transformation, knowing Kazuya has control makes it so intimidating. Unreal engine 4 doesn’t hurt either
Devil's jab reaches the most out of the Mishimas, he has a generic hop kick in u+4 that is great against the big characters, a SM WGF that cannot be reversed (can still be punch parried), a nice anti-air laser to punish True Ogre's Owl Hunt and an untechable SS+2 launcher for super strong tag combos (particularly when paired with Jin). Nevertheless, his Twin Pistons is so OP that it makes his other already strong tools look like filler options next to it most of the time. Who needs 30 moves when you have such a broken move in your arsenal?
@dammittt Tekken is by now literally famous for it's bounds and juggles. For the better imo, what other fighting game actually allows you combos to this extend? None, eveything else on the market is just a blatant qcf fuckery and nothing else. People are just way too ungrateful for how unique Tekken as a fighting game is.
I have played Tekken since 1997 and i find the only people who say "T3 is the only good Tekken" or "TTT1 was the last good Tekken" are people who dont actually play Tekken at all.
The reason people love the original TTT on PS2 is because it was the first ever next gen Tekken game Back then a new generation meant a much bigger jump in graphics than it does today & that feeling of playing your favorite game (Tekken 3 at the time) but with more characters & amazing graphics stuck with a lot of us
Tekken Tag Tournament is the pinnacle of Tekken and no Tekken will ever come even close to this game again. From a casual perspective for the average player that just wanted to pick up the game and have fun with friends or play in the arcades it was a bundle of fun.Tekken 7 loses what made this game so much fun, having to construct large combo strings to do damage where as in tekken tag you used small combos that did big damage it was so much fun and easy to pick up and play with friends where new tekken requires way more effort
I still think Kazuya should have a pallette swap with Devil Kazuya (including his exclusive moves) from Tekken 2 (with updated graphics) and Tekken Vengeance skin
To think this was the only game where we got Devil as a playable character, besides Tekken 2 which is ancient history. To be honest, I bought Tekken Hybrid (TTT1 remaster) just for him.

He also had the best 1,1,2 in the game. It had better range than any other Mishima shining fist and could reliably punish almost any -10 move.

I think it was just "Namco" back then. Also the Hellsweep doesn't sound particularly broken but the OP Twin Pistons make the mixup itself ungodly. Even the best 50/50s are still 50/50.
So the six characters who were miles above the rest of the cast were the Mishimas (Kazuya, Heihachi, Jin and Devil), Ogre and True Ogre? I remember Julia and Michelle being really good in this game and could actually give the Mishimas a run for their money.

I'm a tag1 legend in India (Lucknow), Devil's df1 2 wasn't actually that useful when the opponent has sidestepping talent, while sidestepping to right when devil does df1 2, df1 does connect but 2 becomes a whiff and can be ewgfed, devil had flaws even in his f df2 because it can be punished using 1 1 2. 🙂
Sidestep 2 is an amazing launcher if you know when to use it.. I wonder why people don't use it.. I use it with Devil Jin and I use it at the right time for enormous damage
Because it's high risk low reward. Even in Tekken 7, you'll get launch punished on block or a half decent player will see it and hit you with a homing out of it. Plus side step into EWGF is just much better in every way.
@@Aminkaza yeah, but you lose all pressure potential and give your opponent the spacing advantage. Damage is all you really get out of it and DVJ can get good enough damage with combos, even better if you have good wall carry. It's good enough if you read a 1 2 string for example and hit it for a round ender, but he gets more options off ss EWGF.
@@JoJoZiddy I do use the electric.. But when I sidestep a move and my opponent whiffs, I press 2 right away and it always works.. It's not that slow if you delay the 2 and wait for the opponent to whiff
john hunter No. You're just clearly blinded by nostalgia. Real talk. Tag 1 was the best, during its time. Tekken never changed their gameplay system or any of that. It Evolved. I've been playing since Tekken 2 back in '97 and I know this.
Not that it matters but I started on a Rave War cabinet at a San Rafael 7-11. Side step has never been as good as it was in Tag 1. Tag 1 had a ton of broken stuff, but it was super fun. One of the last great games of the arcade era. And Really Real Talk Tekken 4 is garbage. Im not down with this revisionist history.
@@hbk2221 Tekken 3, Tag 1, and 4 are way faster and have a more straight forward learning curve compared to Tekken 7. Using that "your blinded by nostalgia" is just a lame excuse to brush off anyone who doesn't like anything modern. Tekken got really boring when it over complicated itself in its learning curve, lacking in the speed, and simplicity of the older Tekken games. When I jumped into TTT 1, or even Tobal 2, and Kakuto Chojin, one thing I noticed is how simplistic, fast, and fluid those games feel. Tekken 7 is way slower, over complicated, boring, and filled with gimmicky meter mechanics. You can say nostalgic all you want but its no doubt that Tekken 7, and Tag 1 feel very different from each other.
@@ThrashMetalWolf666 Wrong.. so damn wrong. Tekken Tag is my favorite Tekken due to the content provided and fun it has produced but other wise.. if we going to talk about fluidity... honestly Tekken Tag 2 had the best engine to date. It was fast paced, gimmicky yet very skillful to learn as it was easy to get into. Each character had 50 plus moves that can be ultized and master with tag combos to keep the opponent down. Bound moves were meant to balance the combo system which is why Tekken 6 to 7 were mostly balanced in comparison to other Tekkens. Tag 2 mastered The bound combo system yet added some new mechanics such as tag bounds, tag throws to keep the game fresh. Even now, gameplay wise, I'll take TTT2 over any Tekken and I've been playing Tekken since I was 6 when I got T1 for Ps
In my opinion, this takken had a curtain appeal to it which showed an unforgot theme, characters(mostly to non-gammers), music, story (at the time, confusing) but memorable. Which made a person want to come back and play it. My first takken was takken 3 and I loved it, but takken tag 1 felt like a clean washed over takken 3. (The graphic was sooo nice at the time and still is)
To be fair, when does anyone use Devil Twister? Even in modern Tekken you’d sidestep EWGF with Devil Jin over Devil Twister in most cases. Requires more execution, sure, but it’s also more practical to master than to hope you can connect a Devil Twister.
This sidestepmove isnt useless. First off all its more damage then twin pistols second the opponent is way much higher in the air so you can switch characters and do a great combo
Was never a big fan of Tag 1. Always felt the tag system was pretty tame in comparison to DOA2's. Tag in TTT1 was more about lifebar management, switching out your character when low on health while DOA2 let you play your characters more like a team, with a far more flexible tag combo system and very stylish tag throws. The tag system is Tt2 was way better.
i dont know why a limited number of characters being viable makes it bad, i mean street fighter 3rd strike chun li, yun, and ken are all just ludicrous with what those characters can do but its one of the most beloved fighting games ever. same with super smash bros melee only having about 5-7 characters that are very viable
anyone remember the twin pistons, then micro walk back, then twin pistons again? yea. that shit frame trap is the B&B of this character. good luck punishing that move.
All do respect and I know you're giving your honest opinion but you're looking at this from a professional Tekken player. And I know that I'm giving my opinion as well but I feel like you're being a bit too harsh on this game. If you look at it from a casual perspective and from when the game was created, you'd see why people love the game. It's the first Tekken game that has all playable characters from all previous incarnations and had better graphics than all previous versions. The moves for each character weren't really intended for competive gameplay. Sure, some characters have their flaws but it is overall a pretty fun game. I understand that you not trying to trash the game and bring facts and logic to the table and I do respect your opinion and understand where you come from, but when you have a game where you can pick a bear, a panda, a kangaroo or velociraptor to fight a life size doll, a demon, an angel, robots and cyborgs, wrestlers, and random martial artists from all over the world; logic, balance and fairness kinda goes out the window, I'm just saying.
The reason why they probably have “ brain dead moves “ is because not everyone breaks down every move and frame rate and some people just play for fun?
Devil's a classic example of the developers have some vision of the character being a risky, powerful, highly damaging playstyle ( to fit that he's the literal devil), only for the frame data on a couple moves to make him a reserved, basic, pretty lame character.
Back in the day I played Bruce/Law then Switched to Bruce/Devil haha! I remember doing scruby shenanigans with devil's df+1,2 then d+1 for poke or df+1,2 back dash to df+1,2 to launch the opponent if they tried to hit back after the initial df+1,2.
Yeah, Bruce/Devil is one of the easiest and strongest team imo, bruce's ch launchers like df12( followed up with a 1 jab) and 321( if added the last 4) even launches fattys so effective against every team.
I wish I could play with tag 1 kazuya and devil kazuya again in a newer title. This kazuya is how I remember him looking. Tekken 4 and on he looks like a different man
This devil kazuya with a full life bar .think about it: -a safe mid !13 frames launcher which is -6 on block. his twin pistons is like devil ewgf. his df2 is safe with so much + on hit, but in tekken he has jinpachi's best move.
It's horribly unbalanced for sure, but it was really fun, it was basically Tekken 3 on steroids, and since Tekken 3, unbalanced as it was, was still super fun to play/watch on a competitive level, you bet your ass Tekken Tag 1 would be even more.
@@Leadblast Don't make shit up... If you choose Kaz and devil in ttt1 he transform into devil... About T2 ending, that was just a fight in his head, internal struggle

@@hbk2221 Tekken 3, Tag 1, and 4 are way faster and have a more straight forward learning curve compared to Tekken 7. Using that "your blinded by nostalgia" is just a lame excuse to brush off anyone who doesn't like anything modern. Tekken got really boring when it over complicated itself in its learning curve, lacking in the speed, and simplicity of the older Tekken games. When I jumped into TTT 1, or even Tobal 2, and Kakuto Chojin, one thing I noticed is how simplistic, fast, and fluid those games feel. Tekken 7 is way slower, over complicated, boring, and filled with gimmicky meter mechanics. You can say nostalgic all you want but its no doubt that Tekken 7, and Tag 1 feel very different from each other.
The best. We still play this game up to this day. Just look at my channel
@@ThrashMetalWolf666 Wrong.. so damn wrong. Tekken Tag is my favorite Tekken due to the content provided and fun it has produced but other wise.. if we going to talk about fluidity... honestly Tekken Tag 2 had the best engine to date. It was fast paced, gimmicky yet very skillful to learn as it was easy to get into. Each character had 50 plus moves that can be ultized and master with tag combos to keep the opponent down. Bound moves were meant to balance the combo system which is why Tekken 6 to 7 were mostly balanced in comparison to other Tekkens. Tag 2 mastered The bound combo system yet added some new mechanics such as tag bounds, tag throws to keep the game fresh. Even now, gameplay wise, I'll take TTT2 over any Tekken and I've been playing Tekken since I was 6 when I got T1 for Ps
if you twin piston me against my Bryan or Bruce id 100% punch parry your second hit. ah the good old days.
except when the 2nd hit is not coming and you get launched instead.
high risk low reward
Then you get chickened.
@@iheartdanna you cant chicken punch parries
@@mshklh2099 not really when all devil players abuse d/f+1 and twin pistons. punch parries make them change the way they have to use them.
oh, so its basically super smash bros melee with 6 characters in top tiers and the rest E tier.
Tekken Tag 1 = Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Tekken Tag 2 = Mortal Kombat Armageddon
Upper cut upper cut right kick that's all you need
I remember playing this guy as a kid. Except I'd just spam the flying laser and win because my friends sucked at side-stepping.
The Tag games are better as casual games just to see what cool tag pairings you can have and see characters that almost have no chance of coming back.
Hearing you badmouth my favourite ps2 game broke my heart man
Tekken tag is my favorite man. So good
MAKE DEVIL KAZUYA A SEPERATE PLAYABLE CHARACTER AGAIN HARADA!!!
#PrettyPlease🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Well the in cannon reason is, he fully embraced his devil side.
No just do what they did in TTT2 and have you put in the input to trigger the Devil, and give them 2 different rage arts and drives 😜
Devil kazuya laser had the best sound effect i hate how simple devil jins is
In my opinion, this takken had a curtain appeal to it which showed an unforgot theme, characters(mostly to non-gammers), music, story (at the time, confusing) but memorable. Which made a person want to come back and play it. My first takken was takken 3 and I loved it, but takken tag 1 felt like a clean washed over takken 3. (The graphic was sooo nice at the time and still is)
Sidestep, 2 for a crazy MK-style uppercut, as they come down, up & 1+2 for up hellfire canon
I'm happy to have mained Jin back then, THEN DJ
To be fair, when does anyone use Devil Twister? Even in modern Tekken you’d sidestep EWGF with Devil Jin over Devil Twister in most cases. Requires more execution, sure, but it’s also more practical to master than to hope you can connect a Devil Twister.
Sidestep 2 is just a cool move. You can hit 2 upward lasers on their way down and swag on them for good damage.
I always connect it with Jin's u/f+4 and 1+4,2,ff+2
Masood took the hell sweep part from here , hilarious
This sidestepmove isnt useless. First off all its more damage then twin pistols second the opponent is way much higher in the air so you can switch characters and do a great combo
Exactly. Main probably never saw Devil mains back then. Lots of players use that move to punish tag swaps.
This was first tekken. It took me a while to play tekken 7 because it didn’t have the tag function that a associated with the tekken dna.
Was never a big fan of Tag 1. Always felt the tag system was pretty tame in comparison to DOA2's. Tag in TTT1 was more about lifebar management, switching out your character when low on health while DOA2 let you play your characters more like a team, with a far more flexible tag combo system and very stylish tag throws. The tag system is Tt2 was way better.
i dont know why a limited number of characters being viable makes it bad, i mean street fighter 3rd strike chun li, yun, and ken are all just ludicrous with what those characters can do but its one of the most beloved fighting games ever. same with super smash bros melee only having about 5-7 characters that are very viable
anyone remember the twin pistons, then micro walk back, then twin pistons again? yea. that shit frame trap is the B&B of this character. good luck punishing that move.
All do respect and I know you're giving your honest opinion but you're looking at this from a professional Tekken player. And I know that I'm giving my opinion as well but I feel like you're being a bit too harsh on this game. If you look at it from a casual perspective and from when the game was created, you'd see why people love the game. It's the first Tekken game that has all playable characters from all previous incarnations and had better graphics than all previous versions. The moves for each character weren't really intended for competive gameplay. Sure, some characters have their flaws but it is overall a pretty fun game. I understand that you not trying to trash the game and bring facts and logic to the table and I do respect your opinion and understand where you come from, but when you have a game where you can pick a bear, a panda, a kangaroo or velociraptor to fight a life size doll, a demon, an angel, robots and cyborgs, wrestlers, and random martial artists from all over the world; logic, balance and fairness kinda goes out the window, I'm just saying.
The reason why they probably have “ brain dead moves “ is because not everyone breaks down every move and frame rate and some people just play for fun?
So Tekken Tag 1 is basically Tekken MUGEN in terms of balance
4:53 twin pistons spam
Hell sweep spam
Spam spam spam
Devil's a classic example of the developers have some vision of the character being a risky, powerful, highly damaging playstyle ( to fit that he's the literal devil), only for the frame data on a couple moves to make him a reserved, basic, pretty lame character.
Looked very rad devil even back in the days
Ah TT1, back when the Mishima's ewgf's hit mid and not high like today.
Jin's was always high though
tag ewgf for jin was SM
@@dionysysentertainer3261 that's the whole point of the video
Please do tekken 1,2,3 as well!!!!!
Back in the day I played Bruce/Law then Switched to Bruce/Devil haha! I remember doing scruby shenanigans with devil's df+1,2 then d+1 for poke or df+1,2 back dash to df+1,2 to launch the opponent if they tried to hit back after the initial df+1,2.
Bruce and the Mishimas make surprisingly good teams!! I started using him and DVJ on Tag 2.
Yeah, Bruce/Devil is one of the easiest and strongest team imo, bruce's ch launchers like df12( followed up with a 1 jab) and 321( if added the last 4) even launches fattys so effective against every team.
That's basically T8 Kazuya
I wish Bandai Namco Release a Tekken 4K Collection on Steam, PS4, Switch, & Xbone.
Pls no
Try to defeat the ultra ex super hard in arcade version it is sooo hard
Thanks for these blast from the past videos so much because i never play these games :)
I wish I could play with tag 1 kazuya and devil kazuya again in a newer title. This kazuya is how I remember him looking. Tekken 4 and on he looks like a different man
Tekken Tag Tournament Is STRONG!
This devil kazuya with a full life bar .think about it: -a safe mid !13 frames launcher which is -6 on block. his twin pistons is like devil ewgf. his df2 is safe with so much + on hit, but in tekken he has jinpachi's best move.
Main man hates tag 1 😂
TEKKEN TAG 1 IS MY FAVOURITE TEKKEN GAME
It's horribly unbalanced for sure, but it was really fun, it was basically Tekken 3 on steroids, and since Tekken 3, unbalanced as it was, was still super fun to play/watch on a competitive level, you bet your ass Tekken Tag 1 would be even more.
TTT1 seems to have a lot in common with Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Twin Piston is good... until you run into True Ogre.
One of the many reasons Devil Kaz isn't his own character
@@Leadblast Don't make shit up...
If you choose Kaz and devil in ttt1 he transform into devil...
About T2 ending, that was just a fight in his head, internal struggle
@@Leadblast Nice assumptions
@@Leadblast in T7, his Devil Gene Form is now his Second Rage Art.
Devil and Kazuya tag was pretty unique
This game may have been a broken ass mess but that unconckable STL Badboy set was legendary. YOU BETTER TECH THAT SHIT
Look at this game man beautiful man look at the map. The waterfall, the people walking around, the lights in the back the bgm everything man. Its just amazing man. I remember being 14 when this came out at my friend who got it for christmas, i couldnt believe the graphics jump it was so surreal. Ill never forget it. Lee tux suit looked amazing and the Ogre stage and song amazing.
Www.chattytube.com for anyone who wants to make a tekken thread.
Tekken Tag was the first Tekken game for PS2.No wonder it looked so good at that time.
Ogre stage/music is one of my all-time favourites
was that a mid electric? dont wanna mention that?
Only Kaz and Devil have the s.mid godfist.
heihachi did as well.
only heihachi and jin had actual electrics.
This is not devil kazuya, it's just devil
