Connor a Two Words: Time Constraints. I think 19 characters was a pretty understandable number despite Tekken 2 having 24 characters. It's the very reason that we've seen all those Jack-4's in the Tekken 5 Intro.
@@JumugiDesunra What it lacks for in characters, makes up for music and tone. Like seriously this game feels so dark compared to the rest of the tekken series. Also the openness of the stages was a nice touch. To this day arena and mall are still one of my favorite tekken stages.
I know this game gets a love it/hate it rap, but the aesthetics were really unique to this installment. Music, backgrounds, play mechanics are a stark contrast from most of the series. Tekken 5 and up plays it safe.
what I realy loved about this game was that wind was actualy visible through the clothing! Like Miharus skirt waving or Julias hair. We do not have that many windy stages anymore.
the NOSTALGIA! i was around 5-6 years old when i played my first tekken (tekken 4), and imo this is the best one in the series. the music/stage design is still amazing in comparison to the other games.
I really wish that they built more upon what tekken 4 did, it was really interesting to have stages with obstacles that were very spacious but not exactly infinite. The beach stage stands out to me so much because it’s not an infinite stage, but one that is just very large and I love how you can take the fight into the water or on land. I love the use of uneven terrain, ceilings, and stages that aren’t just large squares. They should’ve improved upon these ideas instead of just getting rid of most of them. The stages in tekken 6 and 7 feel really closed in and boring while this game had huge environments to fight in. I really hope tekken 7 gets stages similar to tekken 4’s or that tekken 8 uses these ideas in a fully fleshed out way.
Years ago I wanted to buy TK5 with my brothers, they didn't have it at the store (we had no internet back then) and we ended up buying TK4. I have never regretted it.
Really, Tekken 4 has some of the best looking aesthetic stages ever. Airport, Beach, Building and Mall are my faves. Also some have nice soothing music. Miss this game. Good old memories when I spent after school times playing it with friends.
@@TopFlightGeneral0220 people really hear g corp helipad night’s theme and write off the entire soundtrack lol. Jungle Outpost 1 and 2, Infinite Azure 1 and 2, Arctic Snowfall, Twilight Conflict 1 and 2, Island Paradise, just to name off a few.
just yesterday was my older cousins wedding and this morning i was thinking about him and the games we used to play together. tekken 4 was one of them where he would play religiously and i vividly remember the mall stage and holy crap glad i was able to find it. brings back so many memories
I'm just here hoping harada makes the the god damn right decision and remasters 3 stages from each Tekken 1-4. All separate dlc packs like a Tekken 1 stage DLC pack, Tekken 2 and so forth. I think those would really SELL. I personally want the Mall, beach, and airport stages from Tekken 4 in Tekken 7. that's a DLC pack of remastered stages from Tekken 4 I'd definitely buy and I think almost everyone that has Tekken 7 would purchase the Tekken 4 stage DLC pack too lol.
Carlos Ramon lol I know. It would be fucking lit if they brought back the Shinjuku, Mall, beach, and laboratory stages in Tekken 7. They could even add a new generation twist and make shit break lol. Imagine being able to break someone through the window balconies on the upper level of the mall, break the glass of a particular closed store in Shinjuku, and I seen the Labratory stage as a mod and in it u could break multiple doors. Harada should do shit like this IMO it will sell lol
My favorite Stage is the Jungle, my second favorite Stage is Underground,My third Favorite stage is the Beach,My fourth favorite stage is arena, My fifth favorite stage is Parking Area, My sixth Favorite stage is Laboratory, My seventh favorite stage is Hon-maru,My Eighth favorite stage is the airport,My Ninth favorite stage is Building, and My Tenth favorite stage is Shinjuku for Tekken 4.
It's probably just the fact that Tekken 4 stages had more detail due to being bigger and more complex. The actual textures and modeling in Tekken 5 were way better.
there is amazing stuff here like airport or mall but also horrible stuff like parking lot and shinjuku. listening to these tracks on repeat will give you tinitus or make you very annoyed. Hon-Maru is good bcs it doesnt break your concentration while still being atmospheric.

@@shmickkenzy2382 it's funny because tekken 4 already had breaking stuff on the building the statues broke, on the streets the phonebooths, in the car park the pillars, underground you could punch the people, it was kinda nice but breaking into new parts of the stage would be sweet too these places all look so explorable
Havent played tekken 5, only d psp DR version... I never knew that tekken have this kind of map that not just flat but has different angle stages plus some hard pillars or statue, unlike today with just typical square stages, of course we love the wall and floor breaks. Its a good idea they made stages like these... It might be good if they bring this stages again so players can use it for avoiding attacks or the pillars can be breakable for combos...
i know right authentic sky is beyond chilling getting chills and goosebumps seriously the best music in entire tekken history just awesome tekken 4 is a true masterpiece 🙂✌😍💕💕💕
Yes. In the tournaments people were racing to get to uphill positions to make the juggling easy and sometimes the combo misses due to the stage elevation.
who the f**k is Miharu i played this game my whole childhood and never see this character until today lol :D btw my favorite stage music is Shinjuku stage

Airport, building and mall are the definition of aesthetically pleasing.
And the music... superb. Such a great game, I love it.
Add statue too!
the beach theme is so good!
Like honestly tekken 4 had the best stages. So spacious
Juan Rodriguez yes.. they were pretty fuckin creative. It felt different. Felt like the next gen coming from the PS1 era
Until you realised it had a weak roster, the design and dedication was there, but it was executed poorly to most other games in the franchise

Yes all Tekken best stages 4

No one can tell me this game did not bang. Best stages of any Tekken game with great music to accompany it.
Xiaoyu - Airport
Heihachi - Arena
Christie - Beach
Kazuya - Building
Jin - Hon-Maru
Julia - Jungle
Bryan - Laboratory
Violet - Mall
Hwoarang - Parking Area
Lei - Shinjuku
Nina - Statue

Airport also fits Lee Chaolan
Jungle is actually Yoshimitsu
@@shiki494 it could go both ways. Even for Panda/Kuma
Steve/king parking
Murduk - underground

Yeah there was a game call bushido that was pretty open just like how you explained. You can take the fight to different areas.
I can't believe that this game was like 16 years ago.
That's my freaking age.
20 years now 🤯
@@TopFlightGeneral0220 23 now
14:01 "Underground" what the heck! This is the smallest stage in the whole Tekken series, unlimited wall combo!!!
the building stage theme is awesome soul soothing best in the game. go authentic sky😀😚🤗😍😍
where's that building ?
Airports theme is so chill

I have never regretted it.
I wish I could live in the Tekken 4 mall
this
This game was the closest since tekken 2 in capturing the soul and Identity of Tekken
“Touch and go” the Airport theme is the absolute GOAT in my opinion. But T4 is my undisputed favorite of the Tekken franchise.
For me "Touch and go" and "Authentic sky" are the best of all Tekken games. I think the look of the stages also have some influence.
It would nice if someone could patch Tekken 4 to fix the problems with wall bounces and such, then it would be amazing in competitive play!
Unlike every other Tekken,Tekken 4 had uneven grounds on some stages it felt more dynamic for me
Something about this games aesthetic is just 😩😩
Really, Tekken 4 has some of the best looking aesthetic stages ever. Airport, Beach, Building and Mall are my faves. Also some have nice soothing music. Miss this game. Good old memories when I spent after school times playing it with friends.
the best thing is that they had actual music, now its literally sound.

This game got old very, very well. Just another awesome work from Namco.
they should bring back these styles of stages

@@shmickkenzy2382Maybe that's why Tekken 4 sold so less.
the uneven floors and the trees/pillars that you'd have to sidestep around made the game much more realistic
8:13 - the music here ... eargasmic
Literally 😩 💦
man these elevated stages were fckin great....
Airport stage is so nistalgic, the main thing i remember about this game when i played it
Airport sounds like I'm customising my character
5:04 for me this is the best stage in entire tekken games ❤️❤️
My favorite Tekken 4 stage Alisara is the Hon-Maru stage!
"I don't understand your Portuguese well"
I believe to the Brazilians fans loved this attention! xD
I do love this sign lol

Is it just me or did Tekken 4 have better graphics than Tekken 5?
Ivan Axel you're wrong
It's probably just the fact that Tekken 4 stages had more detail due to being bigger and more complex. The actual textures and modeling in Tekken 5 were way better.
I confirm, they were way better as the stage /character design . To sum up the game was more creative.
Ivan Axel just you
I personally found Jin's model in Tekken 5 a little too bulky around the shoulders.
tekken 4 is the first game in the series that introduce walls because in the original tekken up to tag all stage are infinite
8:55 They are dancing to the music.
5:02, Game time music. So lovely.😌😌😌
Its like Dead or alive X Tekken
My Stage is Authentic Sky.
Building is my favorite. I love that song.
Jeremiah Hester ik me too
yup. I freaken love it
yesss the piano is so relaxing
yep authentic sky is just beyond heavenly just love that stage get chills and goosebumps every time 😀😍😍😍

Top 3 Stages:
Airport
Beach
Mall
I love them
Airport
Jungle
Hon-Maru
6:50 was that console exclusive . I do t have it on my arcade cabinet
Laboratory was the stage I always lost on
there is amazing stuff here like airport or mall but also horrible stuff like parking lot and shinjuku.
listening to these tracks on repeat will give you tinitus or make you very annoyed.
Hon-Maru is good bcs it doesnt break your concentration while still being atmospheric.
Tekken 3 best soundtrack+ great story
Tekken 4 best stages
Tekken 5 best characters

@@shmickkenzy2382 it's funny because tekken 4 already had breaking stuff
on the building the statues broke, on the streets the phonebooths, in the car park the pillars, underground you could punch the people, it was kinda nice
but breaking into new parts of the stage would be sweet too
these places all look so explorable
airport and beach have a special place in my heart
Shinjuku and Arena. Seem like the perfect stages for a fight. I like the music in the beach stage though.
Akira_kazue the arena's sound track is fucking horrible lol shit was hurting my ears
The Beach and building had the best music imo

Music in Tekken was just on another level. Always enjoyed myself playing any Tekken game
My top:
1.Beach
2.Building
3.Hon-Maru
mall and hon maru are also awesome love the music of those stages😀😍😍
Tekken 4 had dynamic stages unlike the flat stages we have now
So true man
need to bring back old maps in tekken 7. release map packs not cosmeticsssssss
Best maps and soundtracks...
Authentic sky is my theme
i know right authentic sky is beyond chilling getting chills and goosebumps seriously the best music in entire tekken history just awesome tekken 4 is a true masterpiece 🙂✌😍💕💕💕
My question is why the building stage wasn't meant for Nina vs Kazuya? that would fit alot more than Lei or Yoshimitsu imo.
Character Stages ended in Tekken Tag Tournament. ( which came out a year before Tekken 4 on PS2 )
@@JumugiDesunra He meant as unofficial stages...
I used to play Tekken 4 with my brother when we were kids...so much memories
did uneven ground do anything stupid like turn mids into highs? or was it just visually confusing on the height of attacks.
It made juggling harder/easier
Yes. In the tournaments people were racing to get to uphill positions to make the juggling easy and sometimes the combo misses due to the stage elevation.
I love the ambience and mood of the older games
Now its just dubstep....
Strange to hear Michelle Chang’s theme in a game that she doesnt appear...
13:06 wait what?? So they re-use Michelles T2 theme? Didnt know that it also exist in T4 lol.
With this specific stage they had the arcade soundtracks from Tekken 1 and 2 that time it just happened to have Michelle's theme
Tekken 3,4, & 5 are the best, HANDS DOWN. ☆☆☆😎😎😎💖💙💜⚡⚡⚡
Airport, Jungle, and Underground.
Airport stage was the best of all tekkens
Anytime the airport themes comes up I want to order a cocktail
Honmaru was the best stage i played in m'y childhood
I love the Jungle Beat!
This made tekken 7 look like a joke
My fave stage is laboratory and honmaru
that aspect ratio tho
shinjuku
I lowkey forgot about Statue. It has a great theme.
I didn't remember the statue stage
To this day i still don't know if "Eu não entendo portoguês bem!" is a clever joke or actual typo.
I love the airport stage*-*
Parking Area
Nostalgia
Square , Jungle , Lobby , Parking Lot r mi fav stages
laboratory map was scary to fight in
Asuka in tekken 4?
That was Xiaoyu's friend, she could be selected as an alternative outfit
Miharu. bozo
"Eu não intendo portugues bem!"("i don't understand portuguese well") haha nice
Still Tekken peak design
Period
