Honestly you deserve the respect by going through a retrospective on a game that you barely even know then knowing concepts along the way from there on out.
Im glad more people are getting into Tekken 😊 I'm 35 and got into Tekken with Tekken 2 when I was like 6. it was one of my very first PS1 games. This series has meant a lot to me over the years and is the reason I'm as big a fighting game fan as I am. The crazy story and lore, the cast of characters, the music, the visuals, the gameplay. All top tier! It makes me feel bad for virtual fighter. Now there is a series that stagnated into irrelevance despite them competing at one point. It makes me more appreciative of how Tekken has managed to keep on going for 30 years. Cheers to you man for checking it out on a whim
I really enjoyed this video and thought, "this seems like a popular youtuber" until I looked at the subs.....THIS IS THE BIGGEST OF THE BIG CRIMES AHHSIHIFAIWJSIFJ IJW HOWWW
Tekken 4 and 5 are my favourite Tekken games of the Franchise. ☯️ By the way Tekken 4 had the best story and atmosphere no doubt. Also my favourite Tekken Intros of the series are 4 and 5. Especially Tekken 4, developers did a lot of things incredibly right, most storylines were incredibly cool and the atmosphere and seriousness was just on a another level. I don't think most would disagree that Tekken 4 had a great"everything-except-the-fighting" to it. Great and Epic soundtracks, unique character designs, good individual stories, and an interesting main Mishima arc revival. The thing is that it's still a fighting game and no matter how great everything else is, if the fighting bit is flawed it'll overshadow the positives. Tekken 4 is sourly the most unique and underrated (mostly because of the choices that hindered the competitive scene) but it is my favorite Tekken to date, because of the very seriousness Vibes of the Story aspects perspective. The seriousness atmosphere of Tekken 4 it's on another level in my opinion.The soundtrack is what gets me the most next to the game's atmosphere. With soundtracks like: Fetus(Prologue), Authentic Sky, Unihabited(Mall Area) Didgerhythm(Jungle Area) Touch and Go(Airport Area) and Kitsch(Beach Area) and The Inner Shrine(Hon-Maru Temple) and others soundtracks, For me Tekken 4 remains even in these days the most Unique Tekken game of the series. ☯️
I really enjoyed this, you did a great job, very charismatic and kept me entertained all the way through. Also Thank you Sooo Much for putting that tekken 5 intro in at length lol, that is probably one of the greatest intros to a video game ever, this was great.
Tekken is the kingdom hearts of fighting games...whacky as hell story but dope as hell! Oh and Tekken Tag is the goat...i know its not cannon but the music and gameplay and the vibe overall is just top notch 👌 Jun and Hwoarang for my main tag team.
My uncle gave me and my brother a PS1 back in 2007 with tekken 2 and a few other games. me and my bro would play it all the time. We stopped playing because it was a game for the PS and xbox, we only had Nintendo consoles. Eventually we would get back into it with tekken 7 on PC, and man the game has changed so much. I am so glad that with tekken 8 you can use the jukebox and make the music the Tekken 2 music instead of the "modern" tekken tunes. Great video btw
Great video! Just some fun facts for your information that I haven't seen commented yet. Gon was actually a guest character (which is why he isn't in subsequent games), Eliza is from Revolution on PS3/PSN, and Tekken is actually was actually a Namco property rather than a Bandai property before the merger. Subbed! Hope you enjoy more Tekken in the future!
Gon never came back in the Tag games because he's actually a crossover character from a Japanese manga.... they should put him in Tekken 8 as dlc tho...
How come so many channels just pop up with well written and well edited video essays? Ppl just have this talent? Making a video like this is like Impossible for me
This video is awesome, super underrated. At first I thought this is some really big youtube channel, then I checked the subs. You definitely earned a sub from me
The only other Tekken besides 8 that I got into was 3. I was in my early 20's then, and now I'm in my late 40's. So it's a been a minute. Just to think, I thought 3 looked amazing at the time. Suffice to say I'm competely blown away by 8. Hands down the best 3D fighter ever made.
From Tekken 3 onward King is different than original King also Tekken Tag tournament (arcade version)is a Tekken 3 mod. But the unknown girl is Jun Kazama over taken by the wolf spirit
28:00 Arcade mode exists because PS2 has PSX CPU + Backwards Compatibility "Namco System 11/12" was based off PSX but Sys 12 had overclocked CPU. since CPU was native the rest of porting was much more than easier (size of those games is max up to ~100MB in total) after getting reconstructed it doesn't seem to be hard anymore :D as for 5DR : 5.0 (PS2 ver.) was SUPER i mean SUPER in-balanced, arcade version even received 5.1 update that gave game turqoise lifebars 5DR fixes 99% of problems that 5.0 had but they never released Tekken 5 DR as whole game with all off PS2 content which is a shame :/
That’s very cool I think 5Dr probably didn’t have all the classics as it was a psp game witch probably meant it couldn’t hold. That’s actually really cool yo know
2 things, first off there are a lot of pronunciations that infuriate me, but it don't really matter. Second, if you sidestep with Jack in 8 and grab, he will slap dat ass Heihachi in Tag
Nice love that I now know jack-8 can do that and I know my pronunciation is bad is it because i was baiting comments or is it because i really cant say these names who know
Amazing video bro I love tekken Can you do one for dead or alive because that game is a bit similar to tekken and is also one of my fav fighting game franchises and it would be nice to shed some light on it
you didn't mention that when you owned Tekken 5, you had all the previous parts except the fourth one, I remember when Tekken 5 came out and how surprised I was that the PS1 classics were included in the set, a great gift for fans of the series, that's how games used to be made
tekken 8 is pretty good. no spoilers if you haven't played the story yet, but the music callbacks and remixes from the old tekken games hit hard. they put them at the perfect spots its epic. the online is way more fast paced than 7 so far too.
@@syhlax2247 yup. But in tekken 4 kazuya took control of the devil so i dunno if this still applies in t5 lol. But it doesnt make sense of kazuya killing him since he respects him and loved him as kid
1. Im pretty sure hwoarangs low to high kick launcher was never a natural combo, computers just suck 2. Im pretty sure tekken 4 was hatedcuz it removed almost all of the movement tekken 3 and tag 1 had 3. Im kinda confused on the comment that T4s more bout combos, when theyre very limited and usually low dmg, in the previous 2 games, 1 punish with a launcher would give you like 50% of their health Otherwise, prettycool vid
What I mean by that is the damage scaling in 3 you don’t need combos as everyone hits do crazy damage. And for the kick it would miss on block as well. The bot would stand block I hit the low then it misses even on block.
@@syhlax2247 your first point is half right, characters did have high dmg moves, tho many of em arent good outside of bullying the computer, unless youre paul, of course, and some others Yeah ok, low kick high kick thing on hwoarang actually looks trash in tekken 4, literally needs a counter hit to even function, cuz normally theyd have to block duck after the low hit but it whiffing like thats just weird
he didnt throw him off the cliff to see if he was a devil. he through him off because if he was worthy to be his son he would survive. heihachi knew nothing of the devil gene untill he witnessed it by kazuya right?
I know LEI is a Jackie chan reference I was to lazy to re-record
I was about to berate you in the comments. Good save.

Hey I just enjoyed my time learning everything I did
Paul switched foes from Heihatchi biological son to his favorite son
Kuma II is the original Kuma’s son. He wants to fight Paul in Tekken 3 bc his father never defeated Paul

Ik tekken 8 I shuffled all the music and I love when I recognize songs
Considering harada said heihachi is completely dead I dont think he will be back
Well maybe with some tekken magic it will happen. And he’ll come back if they make another tekken tag game

Well that’s cool the gon fact was told to me in another comment
Welcome to the Tekken family brother! Been a long ride for me too but Tekken 7 was the first game I actually tired to learn rather than mash😂
Well I mashed my way threw most of these games but it all just built as I went along
Gon never came back in the Tag games because he's actually a crossover character from a Japanese manga.... they should put him in Tekken 8 as dlc tho...

That "wrestling girl" from TTT2 is just Julia w/ some xtra Sauce

Arcade mode exists because PS2 has PSX CPU + Backwards Compatibility "Namco System 11/12" was based off PSX but Sys 12 had overclocked CPU.
since CPU was native the rest of porting was much more than easier (size of those games is max up to ~100MB in total)
after getting reconstructed it doesn't seem to be hard anymore :D
as for 5DR : 5.0 (PS2 ver.) was SUPER i mean SUPER in-balanced, arcade version even received 5.1 update that gave game turqoise lifebars

You are right there was a little text box correcting that
Good work keeping Hwoarang’s name close to its Korean pronunciation!
