Something I think I'll never get tired of hearing about is the pre-Tag 1 competitive days. For whatever reason, I find that a lot of people don't talk about those days (maybe they weren't around). Really interesting stuff
It's mostly that. Not many around and no knowledge of the demand, past or present. Be hard pressed to find footage that isn't from some 50 something of the Atari era, who just happened to record some over the shoulder footage for himself. Tekken 2 was mad though still. They were real smart to add low parries in Tekken 3, more than anything.
Please do more of this. I am one of the dinosaurs who started playing tekken competitively during tag 1 and your conversation with the OGs of your scene had me smiling from ear to ear the whole podcast. Keep up the good work Arya and team!
i found it very interesting to hear this podcast. I listened to the whole thing and didnt get bored for 1 second. Thanks for the podcast guys! Can't wait for part 2!!
Ryan Hart is a real dinosaur lol, how can you be that competitive at such a young age when the era and development of gaming was a pure addiction and you only wanted to play and as many cool games as possible but Ryan and a handful of others playing a broken game like Tekken 2 hard asf xD
So crazy, I was at that tournament back in 2000/2001 - Euro 3 i think it was when Ryan Hart vs Sandro went down and Sando beat him - the italian contingent were major winners that time. Glad that memory is still being talked about.
My brother and our friend used to go to Casino and play back in the TTT / T4 days. We never really beat any of these guys but had fun anyway. Good to hear the reminiscing. We all pretty much stopped when we went to Uni after a couple of years. Must have been 18 years ago! Also we went and stayed with Dinosaur for a weekend tournament in Bristol when he was there. I remember that he didn't play in it because he was too good and it would be boring. I lost to my friend in the semi and then he lost to another local guy. Thanks for putting us up though Phil :) , Henry
Man. I've been playing Tekken since T1, but there was never really a competitive scene by me. Seeing you guys get together and talk really makes me feel like I missed out. I'd love to join in on the convo with you guys and just shoot the shit.
Tekken 4 was greatly underrated in terms of how they took characters & stories very seriously. Not to forget about aesthetics and visuals. Edit: Music too. If it wasn't for music, Hon-maru battle would never have been epic.
I feel like there are still characters in tekken with movesets that let people be very expressive. But people generally try and model - and compare themselves - on/with other players. King is a very well rounded character, and I've noticed allot of different Kings, but allot definetely model themselves on Lil Majin.
Jrx here. 1.21.40. @starcream I remember that day. I was watching ur match out the corner of my eye baffled, wondering why the fudge you losing to some shit tekken player using basic tactics. Didn't realise it was finals though, i thought is was casuals
I live in West Croydon. Heart of Gaming has now merged with Playnation Games and is a 2 floor gaming Center with arcade machines and setups next door to the Whitgift Center. Pretty good scene over there. Funny to think you lot use to chill round these parts
“Is that Ryan Hart?..., and it was Starscream”, S+ tier delivery, quality play there, Dinosaur.
I can tell you that they were great as well.
pro tip : you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Oliver Maximo Definitely, been watching on flixzone for since december myself :D
@Oliver Maximo yea, I have been using flixzone for months myself :)

Starscream is a top story teller 😂

This is the Tekken stuff I live for.
Lookin' forward to part 2.

holy shit, the stories, this is such an anime

Ryan is the Leroy of tekken 😎
Now the character itself just needs some form of execution barrier xD

This is so wierd, it feels like we are inheriting something as players who started in t7.
You're carrying on the legacy, a lot of us older tekken players are fossilising now 😂

This history lesson is sick.
I still come back and listen to these podcasts every now and then, thank you for making them. ❤️
Tekken 4 was greatly underrated in terms of how they took characters & stories very seriously. Not to forget about aesthetics and visuals.
Edit: Music too. If it wasn't for music, Hon-maru battle would never have been epic.
And music
absolutely. best stages, best music, combot, new Jin. it was just refreshing
satidor Jin in that game transcended for real! It’s like 3 he was a super saiyan : then in 4 he went right to SSlv3 lol

Facts! It’s mainly new tekken players tho. OG players make chains based off the OG shit 💪🏿
Yeah u tend to mimic what excites u or what works and lil Majin fits both of those.
Damn this is such a sick podcast, love these old skool legends, such good insight and anecdotes.
You know you are speaking with legends when Dinosaur sounds young
Arya, I just wanted to say that I love your breakdown videos and enjoy the podcasts keep it up!
Wtf I just randomly, at 3am refreshed your page and saw this got posted 46 seconds ago.. how am I gonna sleep now

Get a better timezone , 1 pm for me
15 episodes deep and this podcast is still fascinating. Keep it up Arya! Would love to see more discussions of classic Tekken in the future.
