Hello everyone, I figured i’d clear up the air around what will be in Part 2 of the Tekken retrospective. People seem to assume that because it’s been over 1 ½ years since Part 1, it will cover a lot of ground. To curb a lot of enthusiasm; it doesn’t. -Part 2 will be roughly an hour long (although I might shorten it a bit as I recently rewatched it and noticed a lot of redundancies) -Part 2 will focus on a single game ; Tekken Tag Tournament - This retrospective was originally conceived as a 3-parter (and the research/structure has been mostly completed for the entire retrospective while making part 1), but I decided to do one game per part to reduce the wait (which is ironic in hindsight). -Part 2 will focus on the competitive aspect of Tekken, which started in full force with TTT1. One of the complaints I got from a now defunct website, was the lack of competitive focus. TTT1, as I discovered, is considered a golden age for competitive Tekken, and I wanted to highlight this history, which has almost completely been lost to time. If I can do it justice, I hope to receive a lot of critique about why my research was wrong, and people who want to prove me wrong by uploading old Tekken Tournaments from VHS/DVD recordings from when they were personally there. Researching it, I found competitive Tekken to be absolutely captivating, but it was such a nightmare to research that unless you were there, it’s almost impossible to put together a coherent timeline (which I managed to do). I would like to end this this by saying that it’s honestly not worth waiting for this video, and in June 2016 (after completing the script & VO) I decided to go for a career change, and became a Student again. As a result of that, unless I fail my upcoming exams, I will be moving to Japan in the start of 2018 for a year. If Part 2 is not uploaded by the start of 2018, consider this video pretty much abandoned. If I upload Part 2, consider this retrospective on indefinite hiatus. There are so many other videos I want to make, but as you can tell; I’m real slow.

"If Part 2 is not uploaded by the start of 2018, consider this video pretty much abandoned." No part 2 guys, project is dead.

More people need to see this video. Very very very informative.

Tekken 2 was THEE reason I wanted PS1 for Xmas in 96!

I've been looking for a proper Tekken retrospective for ages, and so far the best I'd found was Caddicarus' recap of the first three Tekken which, while fun, isn't super in-depth. This is everything I wanted and more!

Not just the best tekken video I've seen, one of the best retrospectives ever that doesn't waste your time. Criminally underrated and a real shame that we'll never see a part 2 or a conclusion. Damn, the world needs more work like this

This is the most comprehensive retrospective on Tekken I've ever seen. Well-written breakdowns on everything from the side stories to the music and stages. Encyclopedic knowledge, and great use of material. A+

Tekken 3 was fucking immense

Fuck man now this is how you do retrospective!!!

I remember my little brother and I were introduced to Tekken from a red and black PlayStation interactive demo disc we got in the mail. It had like 16 beta versions of ps games, and Tekken 2 was on it. Needless to say, it was life changing. We played that demo for months, and then our cousin gave us the actual game after he bought it and didnt realize it was a fighting game. Best fighting game of all time.

Wow, amazing work! I personally hold Tekken 2 as kind of watermark, even though 3 has better graphics and gameplay, the stages and music reflected the personalities of each character the best in 2, not just in the original trilogy but the entire series. The sound effects also deserve high praise in all of the original games.

It’s a damn shame we never got a part 2, because this right here was such an informative, well laid out & evenly paced insight into an awesome series. Thank you all the same for putting this together (watching in March 2020)

I'm very impressed by the work that went into this! Can't wait for part 2!

This is such a great video! Helped me understand a lot and I'm very excited for part 2!

The most in depth Tekken retrospective i've seen so far, thx so much for this awesome work.

I cant say how many hours Ive sank into Tekken 3 as a kid. Most amazing fighting game for me

Dude its excellent.Please part 2)

This was an amazing video. Very well done

Please release part 2, I love tekken And I loved this retrosoective

Quality. Shared for exposure.

Tekken 4 and 5 are by far my favourite Tekken games of the Franchise. Especially 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.☯️

This is awesome

Nicely done.

This is a awesome are you going to do anymore parts

Subscribed in case this channel restarts. Great video!

7 years later, no part 2 :(

Excellent!!! Subbed!!!

I would love part 2

Good stuff! ありがとう

any news on when you're droppin the 2nd part? You did a great job with the 1st one.

Holy shit, Paul is a badass that deserves more respect! Awesome retrospective.

holy shit i learned so much from this video! ive watched so many videos on tekken and you mixed a bit of hardcore stuff with the storyline...is part 2 still a thing?

Please we want more. Do another one for the rest of the Tekken series

While I see how Paul is similar to Polnareff,Devil Kazuya is more inspired by Devilman than Jotaro's stand Star Platinum

Jun comes back n tekken 8 am so happy

Regarding the cabinets, was one quarter actually profitable considering the energy usage?

Tekken 3 is such a great game. I played it to death on my Playstation and still enjoy it on my PS Classic today.

part 2 please

good 1

Still waiting on part 2!

PART 2 ALREADY PLEASE

4 years latter, still nothing. I guess life took over him

Tekken is the most consistent

Kuma in Tekken 1 looks like those things in RE 7 lol

51:49 I thought the whole nonconsent thing was put to rest.

Please bro. Part 2 - with Tek 4,5,6 and 7

Part 2 plz.

Part two please.

Hey this video has some sort of pause between 7:50 and 8:01 can you fix it please

Next part pleaaaaase ?? :D

The character Tiger reminds me a lot of that old series "Tiger Mask". It is about a boy raised in an orphanage. I can't remember if he was kidnapped or escaped or whatever and were picked up by criminals that trained him to be a wrestler. He did end up a pro Wrestler and were supposed to give half of his earnings to the criminals who raised him. Instead he gave it to an orphanage that the criminals later attacked I believe. And then I can't remember anymore. It's been many years since I saw it. Could this be a coincidence or could it be an inspiration to their character in Tekken?

OMG! PLEASE DO PART 2! WICKED VIDEO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

I guess we're not going to get a part 2 in the near future.

really waiting for the part 2 :(

No part two? OMG!!!

No part 2?!?!?

What music visualizer is that

Still waiting for part 2 in 2017........ :(

Still waiting for part 2

Part 2 = Half Life 3...

What I took away from this is that the writers for Tekken are on some serious drugs.

No more videos?

any update on part2?

38:39 Because they have the same fighting style not that much but Kyokugenryu Karate (a.k.a Mishima Style Karate) is based is based on Ryu's fighting style i guess

Bryan fury is a nut lol i wouldnt ever want to fight him lol.
