Follow my Twitch channel! I plan on streaming Tekken and maybe some variety games. www.twitch.tv/cheeseyoni

Fun fact! Headbutt carnival can be reverse headbutted until one person dies!

Tekken really does give more love to throw break animations than any other fighting game I know. Most other fighting games have a universal or 1 throw break animation for each type of throw. And the animations often don't make sense and are meant to be visually distinct. Tekken throw breaks look realistic and fluid, to the point I didn't even realize what was going on at first, simply because I was used to games making very obvious there was a throw break. And, most of all, Tekken throws have CHARACTER.

The one thing i love about throw breaks in Tekken is that it doesn't usually makes both fighters return into neutral, some throws leave the attacker in disadvantage and some switches the fighter's side, making it also impact the flow of the fight and leaving players often have to think about going for a throw or not.

That Julia animation is from Tekken 6 Lili item move grab. When you equip Lili's vampire dress

Alisa's has always been my favorite. Each character is in the middle of a decisive battle, but they'll make sure Alisa's head is on securely before continuing. Why chuck it at the nearest wall? Genius.

They gave more love to the throw animations than the actual story itself in Tekken 7

1:57 Jin dancing with his uncle

I wish you would have shown the throw break for Marduk’s tackle. Normal characters just sway away from it. But if you play the grapplers: Armor King, King and Dragunov too I think, they will actually defend the takedown by sprawling giving them a unique throw break animation for it. That is realistic with freestyle wrestling and Sambo. That’s what I love about this Tekken, there are little details that make it real to people of all martial arts. For me as a freestyle wrestler this detail is so damn cool. The devs know their martial arts and fighting styles.

1:16 "Dude did you seriously just-" "Yes"

Lei has a special interaction when breaking lucky Chloe’s throw

So Jhin basically cannot be grabbed by woman but loves to roll on the ground with men ...

Now I remember why I haven't stop playing this game after so many years. It's beautiful.

I love the fact that some of these aren't just throw breaks but lead to reversal throws of their own. Also is it me or are most of these throws break universal to every character? Like would a character as uncoordinated and mindless like gigas do the same break animation for master raven's throws?

That Julia animation is the grab from T6 Lili's headdress. When Lili had the headdress equipped, you could do a special grab during which Lili would handstand over the opponent's shoulders flipping over to their back and then she would knock them in their back with her butt doing that kind of taunt animation waving her hand while flexing her butt at them. This item, and the grab with it, was made generic for all females (yes all females, including Panda, but not Roger Jr. for some reason, lol) in TTT2. I don't know the command for T6 Lili's headdress throw, but the command for the female headdress throw in TTT2 was d+1+2+3. It was useful for TTT2 Kunimitsu since she didn't have a throw breakable with 1+2 (yeah because that grab was broken with 1+2).

0:25 Heihachi gives a Headbutt to his Grandson Jin: And I took that Personality

0:02 Jin: Thats not the head I was talking about.

You should have included the little dance Lei does with Chloe when you break from one of her grabs

Never knew you could escape from a rear tackle. Also, you could probably make an entire video from King's throw escapes. He's got a few oddball ones, like his Figure-4 which the opponent can reverse after you execute it. Or his Frankensteiner that Paul can turn into a Power Bomb.

0:38 used to be lili’s throw in T6 activated only with a special item. Her throw is similar to her punch counter where she swings herself above the enemy and slams them to the ground but instead she hits them with her butt xD

Slippy Jin

Absolutely. I LOVE that they are contextual to what's going on in the throw. Not a cookie cutter animation for all throws. PLUS it gives the user time to recognize the throw and input the correct escape. It's really the best throwing mechanic in fighting games.

1:34 So playing Dragunov I've gotten the arm bar reversal a few times (I hit 1+2 then mash 2 as fast as I can, you may be able to do it just by mashing 1+2), but what's neat is that it can happen if Drag's tackle is reversed, they go for the arm bar then you reverse it into your own armbar. It looks like some crazy high level grappling, but unfortunately it does absolutely shit damage haha.

It’s wild how many of these throw breaks utilize the character’s own fighting style against them. Jin did wrestling, TKD, and Judo against King, Hwarong, and Paul, respectively. Not to mention the Heihachi headbutt reversal, lol.

The first one kills me "Here take this.." "NO I don't want it.."

1:10 hehe, that's cute how she cries after getting her arm broken

There is also a funny throw break / reversal when King uses the Grab: Four Figure Leg Lock. If done correctly, the enemy will roll to the other side and perform a leg lock while King taps his hand on the floor lol

Tekken is possibly the most annoying fighting game to learn throw breaks and parries, but god does it look good. Breaking King's throw chain, baiting an opponent into mashing on wake up and parrying an instant low, parrying a delayed attack... I just never learnt how to do it, so I just mash the fuck out of the controller, but hey, it's still cool

The animations in general are top notch, throw breaks are especially hard because you have to animate 2 characters at once which is hard to make look natural

Was waiting for Lei dance when Chloe throw breaks

the litte " iiiita " short for 痛い "itai" from Alisa´s throw breaks means something like "ouch" . I really like that little note since her arms sticks to the breaking opponent and it´s her way of saying "ouch my arms"

Let's appreciate 0:31, a reversal from Jin, and then a throw break of that reversal from King

1:55 they're dancing :3

I love the fact that a lot of these actually seem like a real counter to someone pulling that kind of move on you.

love that the "break" for the headbutt is just enduring it and giving a stronger one back.

One cool thing to note is that the armbar reversal after tackle is exactly what you do in jiu jitsu as an armbar defense, gotta love tekken

Thank you for this! It's so awesome how each and every throw in the entire game has its own unique breaker animation -- it's an attention to detail that gets easily brushed off by most players and I think it's really sad.

1:35 The armbar reversal into the opponents armbar was super slick

1:48 them cakes tho

1:06 Josie actually asked for a bit of stretching but she felt the pain too quick she made a reflex slap

0:44 remind me my very Jun Kazama

Dude, I never played Tekken until this year, but played fighting games besides Tekken all my life. I've seen throw breaks during KoF matches by rolling that were ingenious. I've double flawlessed all my friends in MK, and I don't even use the "grab button." But when I play Tekken, and I can't tell if the camera is going to switch for a grab, or if its a cheeky well-animated reversal, that shit is insanely hype. I've never played a grappler so hard as when I play King, and I've never been so focused as when I am fighting against King. His entire system puts MK, and pretty much everything other than Street Fighter, to shame. GG Strive is very cool with how the grabs work, and the animations are sublimely beautiful. Tekken takes the same artistic philosophy of being cinematic, while also being functional in the animation design and camera placement. Even when you miss a grab and see the purple star, you start to sweat a bit, because you know that grab almost landed. Just gotta try it again and hope the opponent didn't get the same idea. Tekken 7 is the best fighting game ever made, and I can NOT wait for 8, but I guess I have to. Lets just say, I've never kept my neighbors up so consistently playing any other game. The moments of "WTF JUST HAPPENED??" occur basically every set.

I have to watch each of these like 2-3x times, they're so EXPRESSIVE

Normal throw break: Quick and skilled move to avoid danger Alisa throw break: "oh, shit! Take your head back!"

I've never really played fighting games but watching this and reading the comments i'm realizing how much depth and nuance goes into learning the various moves and interactions, i think it would be too much for me honestly

thanks for uploading this since i probably wont see most of these in normal play

1:40 this was the most "ratio" throw break change my mind

I think this might have something to do with the fact that this is the best fighting game in history

The move Julia did is actually Lili’s from Tekken 6. It was a special throw obtained by equipping her headdress. As a Lili main, it was pretty disappointing that they didn’t continue this animation for the succeeding Tekken games..

*head comes off* *helps opponent put it back on* *gently adjusts* *backs away*

What a fantastic animation work, truly a highlight of the product.

I’ll never get over how good King’s WWE moves are. He’s my boy forever and always

I appreciate the extra effort this must have taken. Everyone has a unique start up animation. Most fighting games just have the same animation

Love these throw animations and break animations!!

These small details, Easter Eggs, and Extras paid off!

This only shows that Jin is untouchable and you see why he's not a world leader but THE world leader

I love how Kazuma has the GET OFF ME Vibe to him

Ill never forget when I did Kings Frankesteiner and my brother countered it with Paul... He powerbomb me! Ive been playing from Tekken 1 and still havent seen all the counter and throw break animations

Should have shown Lei breaking Chloe's grab

This is such an odd thing to put this much effort and money into and it would probably be a nuisance in a competitive setting but I'm glad they still did it. The animation in Tekken games never disappoints.

The throw with Julia/Xiaoyu is from Tekken 6 - it’s an item move with a headband that Lili can equip via customisation (:

I always said it, currently in the world of fighting games Tekken is the best one, the fact that it has always been a 3d game favors it a lot, seeing the things that happen to KOF and Stree Fighters (although the last one seems very good to me) it is noticeable that Tekken takes advantage of always having done things in 3d, which is what is popular now

Tekken is & has been one of, if not the, best fighting games since I was a child. They consistently put out quality in my opinion.

Tekken, Ehrgeiz, Fighter's Destiny, Tobal and Virtua fighter has some awesome Throwbreak Animations. I love it. I Especially Love Ehrgeiz because there's a quick Visual Cue that lets you know when to Tech.

Its just awesome how fluidly it goes right back to combat. I wish more games did this

0:39 Is from Lili’s Throw Tekken 6, you need a specific Item of Lili to do it 😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hryTmLSb0M3Gmqc.html

best throw breaks, best motion capture, best fight animations . Best fighting gameplay… BEST FIGHTING GAME

Maybe its coincidence but i like the detail the breaks are done by Tekken 6 Jin, since hes the big boss in that Tekken, probably has to fight alot of fighters

Title never lied. One thing i truly loved about this franchise above all others.

Not a Namco player but doesn’t that effect the meta when some techs can get you out the corner, or some can even put you in the corner

I loved Paul's throw so much while he's fighting male charscters, like tf2 tick tock ♥️🔥🔥🔥🥵🔥🔥

The amount and quality of Tekken animations is astonishing.

I remember that I spent many hours in my childhood in fighting games. I really loved it.

why tf did josie cry after throw breaking

Who’s at 1:22 the girl

Ngl, breaking King’s shining wizard (the running grab where he knocks your ass out with a knee) is a great looking dodge

it's amazing to see that some of these throw animations are as old as tekken 2

@CheeseYoni Yeah I’m very happy that I was biggest fan of *TEKKEN* I really like how they’re having Characters to perform their Combos and balance to as well for the Animation about other fighting games relationship linking between to Tekken video game franchise + My character is: Kunimitsu just because it’s likely to be Ninja Character she might have deeper connection with Yoshimitsu when I was excited for her Reveal Trailer she felt like wants to get revenge on Yoshimitsu for bothering with him all the time it’s alright that had happened nearly every time for his own Reaction for me my *Vision / expectation* I’ll say that TK8 will be Entertainment, Exceptional and HUGE Game it’s like Next Era Level of Generation for FGC you know that’s Reality and unreality theory with this Ideal Storyline.

Tekken is one of the only fighting games that cares about the actual fighting element. I don't remember which one it was because I was a casual player when I was a kid, but when I ran into my cousin's character and tackled him, I was mind blown that you could ground and pound. Never experienced something so unique in a game until Fortnite with its building mechanic (please don't flame, lol)

LOLOLOLOLOL, @0:17 her arm breaks off!

Good job for making this video!

Nice! If there’s ever a second part, maybe kings instant shining wizard?

Tekken is so bad ass

I've always loved how they give them true fluidity. Overall I'm loving SF6 so far but throw breaks look really bad in it, hopefully they change it up to something a bit more believable than static movement backwards.

0:39 That throw is from Tekken Tag Tournament 2. The “headdress” throw.

Just when i forgot how awesome and rich those animations are youtube reminds me with vídeos like this

0:40 that's from Tekken 5

Did anyone notice how the term, "throw" has a very different meaning in the context of fighting video games than in the real martial arts? What fighting games call a "throw" would be considered a "grappling attack" in the martial arts. I think it is rooted in Street Fighter 2, where most of the grappling attacks were throws. Most, but not all. E. Honda's clinch + knee strike was a grappling attack, but not a "throw" (within the context of real martial arts). I think that after SF 2, all grappling attacks in fighting games were generally called, "throws". The term has stuck. And what they call a "throw break" would be called an "escape" or "grappling escape" in the real martial arts. If one BJJ student attacks his opponent with a triangle choke and that opponent frees himself from it, that would be considered an "escape", not a "throw break". Video game throw = grappling attack Video game throw break = grappling escape

Tekken 5 (I think) is the first Tekken game to show the throw break animations. It was just the generic throws & Paul FF 1+2, Marduk FF 1+2, & King/Roger Jr. Giant Swing. T5 DR & onwards added more throw break animations.

Don't forget about the Virtua Fighter series's throw breaks! Those are excellent as well.

What happened at 0:25 lol

Good video but that clickbait thumbnail is pretty lame.

I respect them for going to the effort to make such animations.

Honestly, feels like a coordinated dance which is so cool!

When Lei breaks Lucky Chloe's 1 grab, he dances with her

I had no clue this was a thing in any fighting game... my respect for this series went up considerably

This is amazingly fluid.

Mortal Kombat: *agressively* hugs, other character, pushes back

Jin Kazama was so good, he can repel any grab moves.

One of the reasons why I love Tekken so much
