This was my first PSX game. I have nothing but a warm feeling for the original Tekken. It was very impressive for a 1994 arcade game and even more impressive for a 1995 console game. Not to mention Galaga! It's the little things that count.
I'll say this about the original Tekken: one thing I thought that it did have going for it was a sense of mystery and foreboding. The real-world stages had an uncanny valley feel to them as well, coupled with the soundtracks, which gave them their own individual character. The Monument Valley stage, in particular, brought all that to the fore. Windermere too, but that's mainly because I'm English and have holidayed in the Lake District! 😁
When I first time played Tekken I've already have played Tekken 2 & 3, so it wasn't the best experience. However, I did enjoy playing it, as I'm a fan of the Tekken series. It's still a fun fighting game even though it's somewhat basic compared to the sequels. Now, these days I'm a happy owner of many Tekken games.
I started with tekken 2 at the arcade and ended up buying this one two months before tekken 2 launched on the console to hold me over. It feels like a beta to the tekken series.
I was born the year this came out. My dad loved Tekken 1&2, and then I got 3 for PS1. I knew some moves, but basically always mashed. Just recently got Tekken 8 and learned to play, and I'm having a blast
The way I got Heihachi as a kid was by setting it to one round and using King. He has a set of low kicks, three in a row that stagger the enemy and leave them open for more. I'd get them into a loop and just cheese that one move. Took a few attempts but got it in the end. When I finaly did it I had to leave my PlayStation turned on for about 30 hours until I got a memory card and could save Heihachi and finaly turn the console off. Never could do Galaga for the Devil outfit tho 😢
Since finding your channel thru searching TombRaider classics I find myself now watching all your content really addictive All I can say is please please keep content like this coming its epic
It's a good video, but you can get the music from the arcade version on the ps1 version. You need to go into the options menu and you will see bgm select. You will see that it has been set to "arrange". Change it to "original" to get the arcade music. The same also applies in Tekken 2 and 3. You can change the difficulty in Tekken 5's arcade history. You need to hold select and you will be able to adjust settings. I think you need to use the square button to select options instead of X.
I thought I mentioned that you can listen to the arcade music on PlayStation. Maybe I said it in my Tekken 2 Review, I don't remember. In my Tekken 2 Review I talk about how I finally figured out that you can change the difficulty. Thanks for the comment and for watching! :)
I remember when mortal kombat deadly alliance came out, I thought “wow the graphics can’t get any better” boy if I could show my 5 year old self todays graphics my younger self would be so jealous
The arcade version is the one that would fit a horror game best. It scares me to the point where I have trouble remembering how it sounds like in my head.
Armor King has Kazuya and Heihachis dragon uppercut in Tekken 1 it was so badass because it was my fav move with Kaz and Hei and discovering it in Armor King was so cool. Made me think if he trained mishima style too in his past.
Are you in the PAL region? The PAL port of Tekken was criticized for its slower gameplay and lag. The US and NTSC-J versions run the exact same as the arcade. Sorry about that. The ps1 port is more responsive in the other regions. PAL got hit HARD
Yes I am. Oh I wasn't aware of that. On the Mega Drive I was used to the slower gameplay, but I didn't know we got screwed on the PlayStation as well. Thanks for letting me know!
@@GFrom It's true. Until somewhere in the PS2-Era, most European games ran at 50Hz compared to 60Hz, about 17,5% slower than its US and Japanese counterparts. That's why the Arcade version of TEKKEN you find on Tekken 5 runs faster; it's because you have to run that (and the Arcade versions of TEKKEN 2 and TEKKEN 3 on there) in 60Hz Mode. Also, did you know there is a fourth game for you to unlock in the Arcade History in Tekken 5? It's called Star Blade. If you want to unlock it, do this: You have to unlock Star Blade from Devil Within game mode. Go to the first room in Stage 4-2, there is a breakable wall underneath the higher ledge. Transform to Devil Jin and press L1+Square to blast at the wall. There will be some tiles appear after the wall is destroyed. Jump over the tiles and move on to the next room. There will be a spaceship from Star Blade in the middle of the room. Collect it and continue to beat Stage 4 to unlock Star Blade.
@@dynastymusou8906 It's a common problem for refresh rate conversions. Many games built to run at 50hz were way too fast in 60hz regions, assuming the reduced vBlank meant they could even run. (cough cough Elite NES)
I’m kicking myself for giving up both my ps2 and psp versions of Tekken 5.. Not to mention my first PSX game Tekken 3.. Granted I still have Tekken 2, 6, & 7.. There are things I like better about VF that I feel is better than Tekken however.. But being there’s a new one coming out and I’m a huge Soul Calibur fan I really should give this series another look
Tekken 3 is my favourite on the system. I prefer Tekken over Tekken 2, though. Probably for purely nostalgic reasons, the music and atmosphere in it- as is with most of the early PS1 titles they have a certain charm to them.
I totally disagree. I still enjoy Tekken one and although the graphics are dated they were great at that time. If you are gonna compare it to Tekken 3 or anything after Tekken 3 of course it wont hold up. I still like Tekken 2 the best. Definitely slow compared to 3 and graphics aren't as smooth as 3 but the characters and level atmosphere design were the best in my opinion.
Remember that we came from the SNES/ MegaDrive(Genesis) to this game. Tekken 3 didn't exist then so we wasn't comparing it to that. It's like GTA 3, they needed that foundation so the developers could master the hardware
I was a massive SEGA fan around this time, getting into stupid arguments about the Saturn going to be the better console and using Virtua Fighter 2 as an example. Then I saw Tekken being shown off on Bad Influence or GamesMaster, and thought . . . "oh shit." Yeah it's dated as hell and more of a curiosity now, but I have fond memories of playing it with a friend. And dat music tho!
According to Tekken Wiki it's technically the same character: "After being remodeled, Prototype Jack gained his new, more distinctive look." I get your point though.
Liegt dran was man bevorzugt :) Mega Drive kam ja auch etwas eher raus. Persönlich ziehe ich MD dem SNES heute noch vor. Liegt aber wohl auch daran, weil ich mehr Erinnerungen damit verbinde.

No problem at all :)

That's nice of you, thanks!

Agreed they seems not aging as well. Ive been playing tekken since 1997 and now they are back with different outfit but still on same faces.
I like your long video essays! Subscribed.
Great video. Keep going dawg!
My favorite fighting series :) Tekken 2 was my first and will always be my favorite
Monument valley music is great because it's quite ominous. Maybe it doesn't fit in with Tekken but it would fit into a horror game.
I agree. I've used it in many videos after this one.
The arcade version is the one that would fit a horror game best. It scares me to the point where I have trouble remembering how it sounds like in my head.
Armor King has Kazuya and Heihachis dragon uppercut in Tekken 1 it was so badass because it was my fav move with Kaz and Hei and discovering it in Armor King was so cool. Made me think if he trained mishima style too in his past.
It was just an animation swap, but I feel you tho
The original 3 Tekken games were the best. Something about the level design, atmosphere, characters and music that were fantastic.
Basically, the first Tekken is like the first iteration of the Corvette, not very good, but the follow ups got better
It has to start somewhere... :)
Intro in this episode awesome.

Outstanding comment, thank you! As a matter of fact I unlocked Star Blade many many years ago. I was never any good at it though.

I don't have a PS5 yet but really excited to get one and play Tekken on it!

Damn that shit is super smooth
So you've played Tekken, but have you had a Wang King match yet?
One of the most beautiful and amazing gaming video
loved it
awesome

I respect your opinion 👍
And here you get another "nice" from me 👍
Nice! :D
🔥🔥🔥 yooo

Oh for sure! I wasn't fortunate enough to play it when it came out. Who knows, I might have loved it if I got the chance at the time.
Mi favorite Tekken game ever....so much nostalgy
Sound And Game action Awesome.
I was a massive SEGA fan around this time, getting into stupid arguments about the Saturn going to be the better console and using Virtua Fighter 2 as an example. Then I saw Tekken being shown off on Bad Influence or GamesMaster, and thought . . . "oh shit."
Yeah it's dated as hell and more of a curiosity now, but I have fond memories of playing it with a friend. And dat music tho!
Nah, Virtua Fighter 2 was better than this game in every single way. Tekken 3 was where the series took off.
@@deckofcards87yeah, but Tekken 2 was a huge improvment.
I don't think the P.Jack from Tekken 2 is the same P.Jack as from Tekken 1. They both look completely different.
According to Tekken Wiki it's technically the same character: "After being remodeled, Prototype Jack gained his new, more distinctive look." I get your point though.
Simply sounds like the Ps1 formatting doesn't preserve the bass from the Arcade version.
Tekken means "iron fist" in Japanese
Wie konnte mann sich damals nur ein mega drive kaufen wenn es eine snes gibt
Liegt dran was man bevorzugt :) Mega Drive kam ja auch etwas eher raus. Persönlich ziehe ich MD dem SNES heute noch vor. Liegt aber wohl auch daran, weil ich mehr Erinnerungen damit verbinde.
🏆🏆
Tekken 1 is super rough😅
I liked the review but you guys got a lot of stuff wrong
Hey, thanks for the Feedback. Could you please give an example? I'm working on a Tekken 3 Review right now and I'm not sure what you could mean.
I’m here to check the views, who else?🤪
But why? :D
Bro, du bist doch Deutscher, oder 🤣
I strongly disagree about Tekken 2 feeling old at the time. To this day I like 2 over 3.
Nein, aber ich wohne in Deutschland ✌
@@GFrom Dann Österreicher? Der Akzent ist auf jeden Fall eindeutig.
Schwede
@@GFrom Ah, ok!
If you can't beat this on easy with one fight matches, I'm sorry but you bl0w.
Never claimed I didn't 😅
Kuma was in all the original tekken not only 1 and 2
Nope :) In Tekken 3 and onwards it's a different bear (Kuma's son). They just have the same name
Kunimitsu is the first and only transgender character in the Tekken series lol
Yeah, Seishii Ishii did reveal in a recent interview that they had been pressured by a lobby to be more transgender inclusive.
Kuni identified as a man in Tekken 1 and then she detransitioned.
Make it canon and watch the seething.
This game is fecking garbage.
