My father passed away this past august this was the very 1st video game He and I ever played together and every time I hear this character select music it makes me shed a tear for the good times 🥲
I feel your pain brother, My father passed this past December. He got me this game for my 10th Birthday in 1996. This tune brings a smile to my face even though I am grieving.
The most beautiful character selection music in the entire Tekken saga. Many memories, this music reminds me of my carefree childhood, it gives me a sense of nostalgia. My main character has always been Kazuya Mishima.
True , but what Musicians like Yuzo Koshiro did with their limitations , made their talent shine even more. Playstation , there was no limitations. It was CD music.
I'm a fan of the Tekken series but of them all I must say Tekken 2 is my favorite because of the music. Great scores like this one just make it an overall masterpiece
Wow, 1996 was a great year for the military. I was a Army brat and I played this everyday waiting to have the chance to beat my dad when he returned from deployment
I used to play this masterpiece game every weekend of my childhood without stopping. I didn't have a memory card and I had to start the game from 0 every time until I won all the characters to play with Kazuya or Devil. This game will be forever in my heart and the entire suite of PlayStation 1 games. Incredible times.
It was a choice between this and Tekken 3. I went with Tekken 3 for nostalgia as that was a time I used to work at the Chessington World of Adventures theme park and after work we used to have Tekken 3 battles with the guys from work back in 1998. Also the arcade machine was really really loud!
@@bibasse77 Sounds like a good time , I had tekken 3 on ps1 as a kid and I remember in 2004 I went on holiday flying out from Luton airport and they still had a tekken 3 arcade machine so had to hop right on that.
This ost will always be so good. It's almost like the track is unintentionly telling you "No matter what character you pick, you'll still have a blast!".
Wow, never fully appreciated this game much because I started with Tekken 3. But playing it now I can say this is the best character select theme of the series.
This music takes me back to the mid 90’s when the only worry I had was making sure the Simpson’s was going to be on at 6:00pm on BBC2 during Wimbledon season
Someone asked me which tekken Character select theme was the best one.. in my mind it was tekken 3 so i told him tekken 3 .. now am listening to all themes again to re evaluate them and i think tekken 2 is the best one .. no biases
Time is just passing me by..... yet I sit still, calm as a duck in a pond Staring at this iconic artwork to the character select theme just leaves me in a trance.
I prefer this over the arcade version, the arcade version is ok, but this version is more clear, and has more to it, the arcade version theme sounds like a short loop, though I still do like the arcade version, this one has more to it, and it's just great.
I used to go back and forth between 2 and 3. Love them both. Tekken 2 always had that early mid 90s ish TRUE 90s vibe. Tekken 3 of course changes the series, but tekken 2 and tekken 4 are unique in that the both upgraded the game series and the installment after (3 and 5) refined and perfected the features and game play of its immediate predecessor.
My brother and me used to play a lot of virtual fighter 1, tekken was a bit late when we were able to affort a play station 1 but we never really got a tekken 2 philysical copy, it wasnt until tekken 4 when we really play a lot of tekken for hours, he hworan ( sry i cant pronounce him correctly) and me xioyu, got good memories playing video games with my brother.
my 1st tekken...for many ppl it was 3 which I loved but this game was so great and it was more complex then ppl gave it credit for in terms of gameplay and story....the music is great to has one of my favorite character rosters to this day
Eu tinha 8 anos de idade quando passei ouvir essa trilha sonora maravilhosa. Tekken 2 foi o primeiro que eu joguei. Deixava o tempo acabar só por causa dessa trilha sonora de seleção de personagens. 🎵🎶
This makes me think of a Tekken School Sitcom Heihachi: The Gym Teacher Lee: The Computer Teacher Kazuya: The Bully Jun: The Kind Kid I’ll update this later

I lost my dad in 2013. It never gets any easier.
Lost my mother in 2019 on christmas eve and always wondered, will it ever get easy? Or does the pain prevail :o @@harrychalcraft6371
My condolences. Much love and blessings.💪🏾💙

Same!
Best Tekken character select music hands down.
Gladys tekken 6 select music?
@@JohnWilliamsIsStarWars TEKKEN TAG!
Cold Chilling Tekken 5 DR
Best fighting game character select hands down
The 0:08 parts alone make this tune awesome
Tekken tag!
You actually looped it better than the actual game itself...nicely done!
I had to find my copy to see how the sequence went. Funny that it faded and went back to start, so I just went with something new.

Third strike and MVC2 have something to say but its damn close
Kid next to arcade machine: come on make your damn mind its been 15 minutes!
Uhh Uhh... I’ll pick hehachi.
*instantly picks Jun*
we used to have those types
now everything is judgmental
I pick everyone because i main everyone
No joke.
*Quickly selects Kazuya(Or Armor King)*
It just sounds like the embodiment of playstation. If you get what I mean... It was a new era hearing music like this.
And It was the Last Era we Heard such great music.
True , but what Musicians like Yuzo Koshiro did with their limitations , made their talent shine even more. Playstation , there was no limitations. It was CD music.
and 90s
I'm a fan of the Tekken series but of them all I must say Tekken 2 is my favorite because of the music. Great scores like this one just make it an overall masterpiece
@home9dog2blue It's actually chill. T3 and T5 are more upbeat than T2 intro.
@home9dog2blue Tekken 2 Intro is so great. This Pianos giving Me chills. Or do you mean this Hidden Heihachi Intro?
My brotha
My thoughts exactly!
Nice loop for awesome music of my youth. I remember letting the time run out on this screen just to listen to this.
+jospven Same here...
Yo también🥲💙
I can't believe they give you 20 seconds to listen to this in the game...
Set it to quick select in the options, and it removes the timer.
@@DrEarthwormRobotnik thanks for the tip.
go to vs mode and you can hear it all day lol.
KING!.... Round #1... fight~!
Great memories of 1996 - This game helped me stay awake while on CQ duty in the US Army -
Wow, 1996 was a great year for the military. I was a Army brat and I played this everyday waiting to have the chance to beat my dad when he returned from deployment

What's the first thing I did in Tekken 8? Set this as the character select music, obviously.
It was a choice between this and Tekken 3. I went with Tekken 3 for nostalgia as that was a time I used to work at the Chessington World of Adventures theme park and after work we used to have Tekken 3 battles with the guys from work back in 1998. Also the arcade machine was really really loud!
@@bibasse77oh wow I wish I’d worked at Chessington in 1998!
Same brother 💯 so nostalgic
@@bibasse77 Sounds like a good time , I had tekken 3 on ps1 as a kid and I remember in 2004 I went on holiday flying out from Luton airport and they still had a tekken 3 arcade machine so had to hop right on that.
What!!? Haven't even played it yet. Thanks
Ive been looking for a loop of this theme for the past 10 years
This ost will always be so good. It's almost like the track is unintentionly telling you "No matter what character you pick, you'll still have a blast!".

Ahhh... Sounds like saturday morning in the mid 90s
IMO, Tekken 2 had the best soundtrack out of all the games!
I've been saying that for years. I agree
It's true. Bought it on ps1 again cuz why not???
This song and _TTT1’s_ PS2 character select are my favorite character select themes in the series.
Same here.
Like seriously Namco was in the studio like Sega was back then 🤯😤🎵
My man your a og for mentioning sega as well i love sega gen soundtracks.
The Tekken creator was a former Sega employee
Amen
@suiken3149 how about that!?
This music takes me back to the mid 90’s when the only worry I had was making sure the Simpson’s was going to be on at 6:00pm on BBC2 during Wimbledon season
Haha yep.
James Saturn I’m actually watching The Simpsons while replying to this

Yup
This game was released in europe for playstation in late 1996. Like 26 years ago! I played this late 90s as a kid.
We still have this game on my dad's ps1. We still play it from time to time, this song ALWAYS sticked out to me, so glad I found it
most chill tekken character select theme
This plays in my head when I'm choosing which shirt to wear.
The blue one 😂😂
It's been 18 years and I still remember how this music sounds like :)
This just gives you a very nostalgic feeling mannn, I played this game in mid 2000's and absolutely loved it!!!
This bring back memories of good time with my friend. This is my second favorite tekken after 4...... Good times
Heihachi face is like I'm here just to throw my son off the cliff
🌋 actually
😂😂😂 He started it. Kazuya FINISHED it 🌋 😈
The best Tekken character select theme
Classic 90s character select theme. This could be a club mix lol
I have been looking EVERYWHERE for an extended version of this song! Thank you! 😆👍
How I wanna just spend one more day in the summer of '96 playing Tekken 2, Crash and Croc
Love the mid 90s vibe
Yes!
Best Tekken soundtrack of all time
When a lad in town is on the beak and thinking of who to start a fight with, this is what plays in his head as he scans the ranks of patrons
Time is just passing me by.....
yet I sit still, calm as a duck in a pond
Staring at this iconic artwork to the character select theme just leaves me in a trance.
I’m right there with you buddy….
Still a damn good game after 20 years.
Dr. Earthworm Robotnik it’s only thing that makes me go wtf is that low grav jump XD
i love playing this game as a kid best times in my life
90's deep house music ❤️
Quante ore a giocarci, quanti ricordi… ❤️
This song was ahead of its time
Perfect loop, now that's skills! Nicely done.
I prefer this over the arcade version, the arcade version is ok, but this version is more clear, and has more to it, the arcade version theme sounds like a short loop, though I still do like the arcade version, this one has more to it, and it's just great.
This just gives the best arcade vibes ever. AMAZING
Tekken 2 had the best character select music and best postgame credits theme.
FACTS
This loop is smooth.
This is such a great workout song!
I used to go back and forth between 2 and 3. Love them both. Tekken 2 always had that early mid 90s ish TRUE 90s vibe.

0:47 everyone comes for this!!!
Michelle Changs song is the BEST in this game 🎮
I 1,2, and 3 on my ps3 still dis day 🔥🔥 always be a memory lane
This song is genuinely fantastic
Alguém em 2024 ouvindo essa trilha sonora maravilhosa que marcou a infãncia de muitas pessoas no PS1 ? 🎵🎶
I remember brining this game home as a little kid couldn't wait to play it on the playstation
Tekken 1 was a that weird tech demo, proof of concept. Tekken 2 was when shit got real.
I always liked this character select theme out of all the Tekkens... I wonder how Tekken 7's will sound.
Jon-Mark W hey if you buy tekken 7 for PS4 you can previous soundtracks from past tekken game
the lost dragon 21 you mean Tekken 7 the jukebox mode right? I own Tekken 7 now. When I wrote this I didn't have it yet.
Jon-Mark W yeah you can change the but I think you know that already
the lost dragon 21 lol! Yeah it's cool man!
Jon-Mark W thanks
I love this theme reminds me of the good old days when i was so young I'll workout to this
POV: You're a 90's baby and Tekken 2 is your first fighting game ❤
Bought ps plus premium and downloaded Tekken 2 and the main character theme is amazing
This goes hard asf
My brother and me used to play a lot of virtual fighter 1, tekken was a bit late when we were able to affort a play station 1 but we never really got a tekken 2 philysical copy, it wasnt until tekken 4 when we really play a lot of tekken for hours, he hworan ( sry i cant pronounce him correctly) and me xioyu, got good memories playing video games with my brother.
favorite videogame theme song period. end of story.
This track reminds me so much of "Messages from the Stars" by The Rah Band. Almost as if the former is a remix of the latter.
my 1st tekken...for many ppl it was 3 which I loved but this game was so great and it was more complex then ppl gave it credit for in terms of gameplay and story....the music is great to has one of my favorite character rosters to this day
My Illuminati song
This is one is the best so far. I also like the Tekken 1 character select theme. Thats my 2nd favorite.
The Star Man theme from Mario would go great with this
old days as kid remeber when i was school and did all my work fast as hell and was like i want to Come home and play tekken 2 all weakend
Evert Gueblia Me too lol
Me too mate
Damn Skippy
5:37 ahhh shit this part made me have 2009 vibes
Remember when it was most upvoted comment of
"I'm going -something- a baby,
I will shoot a babeyy"?
Snatches your soul and will never get old !
literally is in my head on a daily basis....
*trying to settle on a character selection*
Me: This is a long ass character select theme.
It been in the late 90's l played this game alot.
Have this playing on my tekken 7 main menu screen beautiful nostalgia
Bro why does the theme slap so hard with so much flavors 🔥🔥🔥🔥😎💪
Bittersweet Nostalgia ❤
I love this theme to this day rememing it.
My All Time Favorite Tekken Character Selection Theme!!!!! 😃

Perfect loop!
1.5x speed = Drum and Bass
THANK YOU
Take me back in the days ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Even though I’ve never played tekken before, I’m in love with this character select song
Eu tinha 8 anos de idade quando passei ouvir essa trilha sonora maravilhosa. Tekken 2 foi o primeiro que eu joguei. Deixava o tempo acabar só por causa dessa trilha sonora de seleção de personagens. 🎵🎶
Here because of supreme tekken Yohji collab
tekken 2 / killer instinct gold / marvel vs capcom are the fighting game GOAT's!
This song to me is peak character select music. Like damn its such a bop.
Tekken 2 :
October 1996.
the nostalgia
Bringing back memories!
This sounds like the 90s I love it , Me & my sister used to be jammin to this when I was around 7y/o omg I miss it
Don't mind me, just groovin' to the beat.
Same here!!! 😃
This was the best soundtrack and plus the greatest tekken game created.
0.75 and u take this gorgeous slowcore masterpiece of 96 year. Goddammit, 23 years past and it still remains the same masterpiece as before
This makes me think of a Tekken School Sitcom
Heihachi: The Gym Teacher
Lee: The Computer Teacher
Kazuya: The Bully
Jun: The Kind Kid
I’ll update this later

Best era ever
