The editor had so much fun with this, I love it
I iwsh Max uses that guy more often, liek TheBrunoZone!
it's good but way too over the top, wish he'll chill out a bit
@@o_oro-q1k imo it kinda has to be because it's just three guys just sitting there so the edits make it entertaining
@@o_oro-q1k This. I've never been a fan of the over the top editing stuff that's sweeping and popular with vtubers. i would so much rather it just be the three guys sitting there and reacting/rating the music than any of these edits.
Lets be honest
any theme that begins with "WELCOME TO THE KING OF IRON FIST TOURNAMENT NUMBER" goes HAAARD
Tekken 5 character select was like the embodiment of that tbh.
Tekken 6 Character Select tho...
Big fax
mmmmmmmm
That's why I like T4's theme
Unpopular opinion: I love T4’s character select theme so much. 😅
Iron fist Tournament four echoes in the background
THAT'S AN UNPOPULAR OPINION?!
it's so badass
@@tonyinfinite5174 “Welcome to The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.” 🥹🥲
Same. It has a certain vibe to it that the others don't have
Karma (Electric Fountain) is an absolute BANGER 🔥🔥
Easily one of the greatest Tekken soundtracks, if not THE greatest. I'm so happy to see it getting the love it deserves.
A TWENTY-SEVEN SECOND BUILD UP for that drop. TWENTY. SEVEN. SECONDS. Beautiful.
I love to work out to Electric Fountain. Really gets you pumped
@@RabidDogma thats trance music for ya lol
It is good but there are better ones. Unforgiven and Turbo Electric, Hiten as well as supercharged.
T1, 2 and 4: Understated, atmospheric
Every other Tekken: *They're groovin'*
T3 ??????
Im all about Tekken 3! It’s the grunge! T 5 gets me going tho.
Fun fact: Keiichi Okabe, one of the major composers for Tekken, also worked on Nier Automata's soundtrack. The range of that man is impressive.
We need more "Rate the Music" vids, Max. The world needs it.
Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Marvel vs. Capcom, maybe even Smash Bros.?
Edit: Jesus, how can I forget freaking KILLER INSTINCT?
Smash Bros is a marathon that needs broken down by subgame and I'm okay with this
Imagine them rating music from completely totally out their music, like maybe Kakuto Chojin, though Asad's theme might get them in trouble haha
Guilty gear too
Mortal Kombat too. The 3d era had some bangers
Touch me and I'll break your face, I'm back to rise, Herald of Gargos, those are my favorite Killer Instinct Themes
Love to see max and the fellas just having fun. Just makes me think of the good times I have with my homies. I hope to be like you guys in the future still with my friends and just letting loose.
Man I love Jorge's editing
The spongebob bubbles got me 🤣
Jorge?
Max has editors and Jorge is one of them, his link is in the description.
@@darkr3g837 The editor.
@@deathtole143 Max has amassed an arsenal of godlike editors
I love Moonlite Wilderness, it’s a awesome song and it fits so well with the stage’s atmosphere.
It compliments the stage so well 🔥🔥
Street Wise and Ground Zero Funk are also amazing. It's such a banger soundtrack.
I love how much god-tier editing went into a simple video of guys just listening to music. You have outdone yourself, Jorge!
You should definitely do more Rate the Music videos! Not just because this is now one of my favourite videos from you but also as someone who loves jamming to video game music too!
lmao cringy edits. fire the dude who made them. ...just keep it in big view of all three. jeez. 😂😁
also major fail to all doodz for choosing new tekken game tracks. completely missing out some gems in the classic Tekken 2 and 3. kazuyas emotionless passion?!! yoshimitsu head shaker? Kyoto theme. come on now!! also how is tekken 3s character select not hype? also tekken 3 jin. king. law. hwoarang. nina. eddy. themes arcade n console are epic. Tekken Tag also has some goodies. 🤔😮
@@ssppeeaarr Cool
+1 Master Class Video Editing!!
They really should Jump into like the soundtrack of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. Wanna see the doods headbang like crazy!
@@ssppeeaarr sounds like you should make your own video then 🤷🏻♂️
For me, Heat Haze Shadow is the best Tekken song ever made and it's not even close. And it made for one of the best trailers with the Tekken 7 Rage and Sorrow trailer.
i can’t agree more I never hear anyone say that and I’m glad you did.
It's absolutely the best Tekken song ever made but they decided to lock it into story mode only so people tend to forget it
If they made the fire and brimstone stage use that song everyone would say it's the best one
Maaannnn AGREED
Snowcastle Tekken 5 >>>>>
@@sageofthepsychopaths341 pfff nah lmao
Tekken 3 soundtrack as a whole was such a banger. Just pure electric guitar front to back.
One of my favorite soundtracks of all time in any video game, so unique and awesome!
You Muppets nothing is better than Dark Resurrections soundtrack
Eddy Gordo's track. That is all
Honestly why aren’t they making this type of music anymore
One of my favorites of all video game sound tracks. Every song is both unique and slaps.
T4 was big on those industrial style beats that were all aesthetic and moody and I love it.
The character customization theme "Your sunset" from tekken tag 2 is criminally underrated, I'd say at least 30 percent of my time on that game is from just sitting there listening to it lol something about it just fits tekken so perfectly.
It was definitely a great song to listen to for hours doing decal customization. Tag 2 was by far the best for character customizing.
I love Emotionless Passion and Devil Kazuya. Those are bangers
Yessirrrrr
The best
Looking back, T4 had a pretty atmospheric ost. Lots of noises that when combined, made music.
T4 has some of the most experimental music I've ever heard in a video game ever. I can't think of any other video game at the moment that has music like it. Though if there are games like that I'd love to hear them.
I mean that’s how music works tho
Didgerhythm goes hard af and that jungle stage just fit it perfectly.
Kitsch
@@SmackYoDumbAssss the rooftop/infinite sky is also really good!
Snow Castle, Ground Zero Funk, Anger of the Earth, and Fallen Colony are some of my favorite Tekken tracks of all time
Those Who Go To Heaven/Dragon's Nest is one of the greatest of all time. The first ten seconds of it are probably the most Tekken thing you'll ever hear. lol
That's what it was! I was confusing moonlit wilderness with Ground Zero Funk. I was like "YES!" . . .wait . . . no . . . but also YES!"
Hell yeah Snow Castle gang
don't forget Edge of Spring from Mythical Forest
Godlike taste
i think a big part of Moonlit Wilderness was the stage itself fighting in the night in field of flowers was really gorgeous and enhanced the atmosphere of everything
The console ost's for the first 3 games are godlike so many bangers. Stuff like marine stadium, Chicago and monument valley from T1, Michelle and Jun's Tekken 2 themes, Julia, Jin, Xiaoyu, Bryan and Law from T3 that stuff is etched in to my brain.
I love the OST of Tekken 2 (the AST is fine but I prefer the OST)
In fact, I think its the best sountrack of the original trilogy.
@@meganinten0078 Tekken 1 and 2 get thrown together as the sub bosses get the Tekken 1 music, I slightly prefer that over Tekken 3 overall but Julia's theme is my favourite overall. I'm slightly biased as she's my main but the intro and buildup to the baseline is amazing it's got so much energy and fits her perfectly.
Michelle Tekken 2 stage is legendary
"It's too atmospheric" T4 atmosphere is one of the best things of that game.
Tekken tone reached his peack with T4.
Sfill love you Steve
Touch and go, Auth sky and Fetus are just so good
Totally true, that game has an untouchable aura
Facts
Moonlit Wilderness and Antares are the absolute best stage themes (spot the tekken 5 fan)
Edit: I'm gathering from the replies that the tekken 5 ost is just bangers throughout
Correct
Poolside def up there too tho
Antares' mix of electronic with that organ popping off is just too good, I haven't listened to it amd Moonlit in years yet remember them perfectly.
Poolside tho
I perfer Ground Zero Funk
I can't imagine talking about Tekken music and not once listening to Jin's theme from Tekken 3. If you say the words "Tekken music" to me, that track immediately starts playing in my head.
Bro same. To me that’s the quintessential “tekken music.”
Jin, law, Nina and Bryans tekken 3 theme are all peak
@@funakiexpressV2 Thank you for the love for Bryan's theme. I personally think it's the best character theme period.
That song is iconic and has been remixed at least 4 times (Tekken 3 Arcade Version, Street Fighter Vs Tekken, Tekken Tag 2)
Everyone have their music taste.
I personally prefer atmospheric tracks that's why I love the soundtracks of Tekken 2 and Tekken 4 over the rest.
Just my preference
I agree I think Tekken 2 and tekken 4 ( even though I hate T4 ) have the best music
Giving authentic sky a 6 was still crazy
Nobody cares.
Tekken 4 has Kitsch. The opening of which ive always associated as the quintessential tekken sound
Fighting games in general tend to have pretty memorable music, but Tekken's will always be iconic. For a series without dedicated reoccurring character or stage themes, that's impressive
The editing is godlike, well done Jorge!
Tekken 5 easily had one of the best OSTs of the series. Even from the start with Sparking, it hit you like a brick
The Finalizer is unbelievable…I always clapped when I play this OST lol
Lucky tekken 7 have a jukebox to custom the theme i use majority of tekken 5 and tekken tag tournament 1 in my custom theme
Plucking tulips from TT2 gets me so hype
Id love to see more Rate the Music in the future!
I’d love to see them do one for like KoF or Mortal Kombat
Definitely would love to see one for Smash Bros
You missed Tekken 2's other character select theme. It's a banger.
The editing on this was hilarious!
Petition for more episodes of “Rate the music”
Why hasn't Max done a Rate The Music video before??? Video Game Music is some of the best music ever.
When it comes to Tekken music, Tekken 2 & Tekken 3 in my opinion have the best soundtracks (both Arcade & Playstation versions) in the entire series.
He probably started doing it because of an episode of Triple ko when they did fighting game music
@@espada7997 I hope that Max does a tier list for Final Fantasy music, not just the primary series but also spinoffs like Final Fantasy Tactics & Crystal Chronicles. I think Max would agree that outta every video game series in existence, Final Fantasy has the greatest & most recognizable music in gaming history.
I think he did it for the Guilty Gear Strive song previews back when those first came out
Obviously due to copyright
He did
Tekken 5 and Tekken 6 are so far the epitome of Tekken soundtracks for me. They both have rocking character select themes and some outstanding stage music. Give me Moonlit Wilderness and Electric Fountain and inject that shit directly into my veins. Glad that they played those two in the video, they're my favourite stage themes.
As a long time Tekken fan, it's actually a tradition to listen to Tekken tracks for the whole day at least once a month or two, there're just so many bangers dude
Paul's Big Miracle Fist and Emotionless Passion are forever burned into my memory from all the years of playing Tekken 2 with my older brother. They will always be my favorite Tekken themes.
Tekken 2 had such a god-tier soundtrack!
Tekken 2 had such a god-tier soundtrack!
Tekken 2 had such a god-tier soundtrack!
Any love for the iconic Tekken 2 intro song? Black Winter Night Sky is so emotional and atmospheric and holds a lot of nostalgic value for me.
The whole OST was 🔥 🔥 🔥
YES! Tekken 2 was my first fighting game and I always watched the intro whenever starting the game.
I honestly consider it the definitive Tekken track.
The OST of Tekken 2 is amazing!
I think its better than the AST
One of the greatest songs of all time, no joke.
That piano hit so hard in that intro 👏👏
I had a damn smile on my face the entire video. More please!
As someone growing up with mainly Tekken 4: "The Inner Shrine". The Song that comes up on the Hon-Maru Stage at the final battle of Kazuya & Jin's story mode. It was also only unlockable through Tekken Force by completing it once.
Also "Kitsch" and "Bit Crusher" are just classic :D
Yo Max! Please make this a series, this is too damn good
Tekken Tag Tournament has a really good soundtrack, to me. The character select music is awesome. Lei’s stage is awesome, King’s stage is awesome. Tekken 2 has one of my favorites, “Monument Valley”. Tekken 3 has an awesome soundtrack, love the arcade character selection and also Lei’s stage. Tekken 7 has really good music. The character select screen is good. But the best from Tekken 7 is “Infinite Azure”. I don’t care what anyone says, “Infinite Azure” is one of the best Tekken songs ever.
agree with infinite azure
Moonsiders babyyyyyyy
tekken 7 solitude says hi.
@@mr.leroysmith7012how could i forget about that instant classic! especially the version with vocals
@@mr.leroysmith7012 that one is another really good Tekken 7 song.
If you do another one of these, you definitely gotta check out Snow Castle from Tekken 5 DR!
Omg it's Alex the cool music man.
Pink Pop (Lili's playroom theme) was pretty much underrated..
Tekken 3 had the best music of the whole series hands down. I don't care, I will debate this forever. I still go back and listen to the soundtrack from that game every now and again. Jin's theme kills everything, every time.
How dare you. You spelt Tekken 4 wrong.
@@malakaai9744 tekken 4 doesn't even come close imo
You spelt tekken 5 wrong
Tekken 3 bangs but it’s a bit obvious and basic, Tekken 2 is super imaginative across the board.
TT2 and 7 destroy idc what anyone says
Tekken 2 opening is still one of my favorite. I think I just really love the vibe of tekken 2 and aesthetic. I feel the same for tekken 3. I feel it hasn’t been the same since those games but I love mostly all the games regardless.
Same here although Tekken 3 played so much better than previous tekkens until that point. personally Tekken 2 is my favorite and absolutely love the soundtrack 🤘💜
@@RockeraDeAyer I feel the same tekken 2 is my favorite but no doubt tekken 3 played way better.
Same here! Tekken 2 intro and Tekken 2 end credits, daa daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa weiiiwuuuuuuu weeiiwuuuuuuuu
Same. Tekken 2 reached an odd atmospheric setting with its opening, character select,
And a handful of level songs.
Games like this, resident evil 1, and tomb raider 1 embodies an era when 3d gaming was experimentally morphing past 2d and becoming more adult
@@eternal305 I feel there is an ambience that’s just missing in newer games I can’t but my finger on it is it lighting music or what. Tekken 2 just hits for me in a way I can’t really describe. Sometimes I just go back and watch the opening.
The Kazuya DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was practically the perfect "Greatest Hits Album" of the Tekken series. There was a few weird omissions like Fiji (TK1), Nina's Themes (TK2/3), Touch and Go (TK4), The Finalizer (TK5), or even the original version of Karma (Electric Fountain) (TK6), but for the most part it was all there and proved the series has debatably the most hype tracks of any fighting game franchise full stop.
And only put in half of one of the best songs being Heat Haze Shadow
@@mr.awesome6011 I guess the sound team at Namco Bandai thought they could get a two-for-one deal with Heat Haze Shadow by combining both halfs into one. It would have been nice to have them seperate, but I’m just glad it’s represented at all.
Eh, Kazuya’s song selection for smash feels so odd because while it has classics like T3 Jin’s theme and emotionless passion, it then makes some weird choices like only having half of heat haze shadow, do subpar remixes of infinite azure and karma rather than having the originals, or other iconic themes not getting in like Michelle’s theme from T2 or Jungle Outpost from T7
@@redhovercraft4439 I see what you're saying and I don't think you'll find anyone who likes the smash remix of Karma better than the original. That said, subjectively, I do think there were some remixes better than their originals like Dist Thins Out & Landscape Under the Ghost - Kaminano, some solid medleys like Aloneness, and funny enough while I do prefer the OG Moonsiders 1st, I can't help myself listening to both quite frequently.
The Finalizer and Antares from Tekken 5 have to be my favorite tracks ever.
Antares goes so absurdly harddd.
@@matthewpunk2012 "Fear the wrath of god!"
Round 1
*FIGHT*
I love Antares, as well as Acid Rain
I love when the guys get together to share the brain cell
Snow Castle from T5:DR is my favorite track in the whole series. I’m also a big fan of Karma from T6 and Heat Haze Shadow from T7. National Museum from Mobile is an underrated banger, too. I was really disappointed by the lack of variety in T7; electronic music is fine and all, but it gets very samey when that’s all there is.
great taste
If this is going to become a thing definitely include Kenny and Steve within all of them because Max taste in music sometimes is a miss 😂
only disagreed on his take about the t3 character select
Wym bro, you don’t like Yodeling in the Meadow Hills? 😂
Oh and his take on authentic sky
I agree with Max on everything usually but damn, his takes on Tekken 4 aside from gameplay are pretty wack.
@@lorenzosandoval7328 Max likes high energy. He doesnt like lo-fi and ambient music. It is what it is.
Was hoping for more Tekken 2 love but understandably it sounds like they were looking for "pump you up" tracks and T2's are definitely more on the atmospheric side of the series.
Ikr.
That's why I love the soundtrack of Tekken 2 and 4, I prefer atmospheric tracks over 'pump you up'.
T2 does have pumping tracks but they just aren't the corny butt-rock that these guys like.
@@stingerlvl3 I don’t think these guys got into tekken until 3.
They forgot t2 had a console version. No mention of yoshi’s, lei’s, or devil’s level song from t2.
They also loved tekken 3s intro. It does not compare to t2 on any level in anyway.
the console version of the OST tho
I’m beginning to think us Tekken 2 fans just need to start making our own videos. Cause it has not received the respect it deserves on this platform.
This is editing gold!
13:30 - Someone needs to make fanart of Kenny and Steve in the Goku/Frieza power-up shot.
This format can be a bit awkward but the shenanigans + top tier editing makes it very entertaining to watch lol (I appreciate the titles / names being shown so anyone who likes the track can search for it)
This video really displayed all their friendships and i loved it all. Felt like i was there with em vibing this hard
Tekken 2 has the best soundtrack in my opinion. Many themes come back in remixed versions from the first title but there's so much more. From the epic/dramatic tracks like "Be in the Mirror", "Emotionless Passion", through energetic/pumping you up "The Place", "Nobody Catch Me", "Paul's Miracle Deathfist" to classy and amazing "Morning Field", "Silent Assassin". And don't even get me started on the intro...The second Tekken will always be one of my favourite games of all time, that's why I bought the original PS1 copy of it.
The song from the intro cinematic of Tekken 2 will forever be ingrained in my psyche. Absolute 10/10 eternal banger.
Major props to the editing!
The editing is carrying this for sure. But I do want more of this. Def bring yo videogames though
Thank God you post stuff like this max , would have sucked to have missed this one 😆, don't always catch 100% of every stream so youtube having highlights like this is great
Please do more rate the music, this was so much fun to watch. Plus I can't get enough of them dancing, I almost spit soda joining them. 😭 TTT2 was my absolute favorite, the customization song is the BEST.
It's so hard to choose, Poolside, Moonlit Wilderness, Tulip Festival, Aim to Win, Abyss of Time, Karma and stuff like Heat Haze Shadow always build hype in this series.
Til this day I remember getting T6 for Xbox 360 and I saw the electric fountain and I tell you I was in awe when I heard the music like it was ‘09 at a rave. This may be the best take far as rating the music…willing to see more.
Edit: My favorite OST’s from Tekken is Lei Wulong (TK3;PS1), Authentic Sky, Touch and Go, T5 character select, Jin (TK3;PS1), Tiamat, Crimson Sunset, Moonlit Wilderness, Electric Fountain, and Xiaoyu Stage from Tag 1.
T6's Fallen Colony is a personally certified banger.
Also, I'll join others' call for more Rate the Music videos, this shit was fun.
T4 is where I started my Tekken journey.
Max's dancing hasn't changed in all the years ive seen him dancing. HAHAHAHA
This is Max’s best edited video easily had me too hyped 😂🔥
This is awesome! The editing is fantastic! Def would love more Rate the Music, especially for SF cuz that shit SLAPS.
A shame there was no Tag music in here at the end, though glad Kenny mentioned it. Xiaoyu's theme in Tag was just THE Tekken song to me for the longest time, so thankful someone brought it up.
T5 and TT got the best music low key
T4
Absolute High Key
T5dr was better
Tag 1's soundtrack was pretty mediocre to me. A good sum of the music sounded like random techno sounds thrown every which way with hardly any fighting drive. Almost as if they were going for a more casual experience as opposed to T3's energetic attitude-like tunes. I would go with Xiaoyu's theme being my favorite in TT though.
Tekken Tag Yoshimitsu music has me by the balls to this day
Can't believe we got no mentions for Kirsche or Antares. Those themes have been living in the back of my head rent free for over a decade at this point.
Also do more of these if you can, was nice to see people just vibing and hanging out. 🔥
Give your editor a thicc Christmas bonus please
Max dying at the end topped this whole video off 🤣🤣💀💀
0:04 Max does a wonderful job with his intros to his videos, that both he and Kenny are busting moves to the grooves of the Tekken series of music and poor Steve is lost and confused.
0:39 Kenny getting jiggy with it.
1:54 WWF intro
2:31 Welcome to the evolution of fighting games
4:23 can you feel my zen
5:08 beats for Beats, beats in my head
6:38 Wrestling Santa & Hail to the King
11:40 Back to the Future
13:25 Snoop Dogg hype
14:43 into the moonlight
15:58 put the tech in Tekken
17:43 break a leg
YOU MISSED THE CONSOLE VERSION OF THE T2 CSS
One of my favorites is definitely electric fountain
Edit: oh its at the end of the video
Since Max reviewed Tekken 8s appearance not long ago Infinite Azure has been stuck in my mind for 2 weeks now, then Max drops this? We need more episodes like this.
This was so fun to watch
This video just made my day, seeing the 4 years in the past when they were reacting to the Opening to Games back to this video, Amazing🖤
Tekken music is always so fire. It’s part of the reason why it’s just one of my favorite fighting games even if I am a more casual player. Gotta learn combos someday.
For me I think "Fontana Di Trevi" from TTT2 was goated. Always gets me hype and especially they mixed dubstep and violin part 🔥
Instant like for the dance moves at the end.
The thumbnail is spot on 👌🏽👌🏽
Jorge did great with this one.
if you dont think about purple suit Kazuya in that one flowerfield at night stage whenever moonlit wilderness starts playing, somethings wrong with ya
That and Lee's black tuxedo. Eggzellent!
The Corridor Theme from Tekken 4 is so mesmerizing, like out of 1997's Berserk OST.
I'm also quite fond of Urban War Zone, Midtown Roars, Central Tower (T6), Massive Mix (TTT2), I'm Here Now, Sparking, The FInalizer (T5), Heat Haze Shadow, Equator Line, The Solitary Warrior (T7).
Tonight is the Night is a 10/10 for me lol LOVE it. Great video btw would love to see more music vids :)
Jorge, if you see this message, great job. Love all of the edits!
thank u
Surprised heat haze shadow wasn't mentioned, its become one of my all time favorites
Tekken 2 - King,Kazuya,Anna,Jack stage music
Tekken 3 - Intro, Eddie remix,Ling,Hei,Dr.B Remix
TTT - Lei stage,Yoshi,Nina,Hei
Tekken 4 - Hei,Fetus
Tekken 5 - (The best soundtracks in the franchise) that underground hip hop stage with the cars and giant speakers with legendary with the crowd chanting:
"Damn it come on! You can do it!!"
🔥 🔥 UNFORGIVEN 🔥🔥
Tekken 6 - Rustic Asia, Cemetery
Tekken 7 - Infinite Azure, weakest OST
How T3 Jin's theme is so underrated is beyond me. not sure if it was played at all in the Stream BUT it's Definitely up there
The boys going Super Snoop level 2 to defend their Dogg was so goddamn funny
The edition in this one was top notch holy shit nice
Tekken tag tournaments nostalgia is on another level for me
We need more content like this Max!! Its Super fun and looks like your team is having a disco moment in TEKKEN 😍
Tekken 3's soundtrack is the most memorable to me, I remember pretty much every character's theme from that game.
I agree I think Tekken 3 has the best music in the entire series
Aww, they skipped the console version of Tekken 2's "Are You Ready?". That one is pretty smooth.
That’s what I’m about to say.. you beat me to it.
This video was way too entertaining.
Good job with the Edit Constantini!
I was hoping the whole time they would bring up yodelling or Knocc em Down and my prayers were answered🙏🏽 hope I don't miss the next rate the music stream, this was really good for my nostalgia fix.
Fun Fact: the tekken 8 announcement trailer music is actually a remix of tekken 3 hidden character select music. That music is so good.
The editing was hilarious 😂
