TTT OST still slaps to this day. It is really interesting that there were different health for each character. Also, the fact that Jin and Julia is still regarded as top tier in Tekken 7 is a nice coincidence lol. Thank you for the video!

Huge love for all you have done for Tekken and the community

The credit music on TTT is still one of my fave video game tracks of all time

The production is just *chefs kiss*. I wonder if these take more or less time than the character overview/essentials videos.

As someone who played Tekken Tag 1 for 300+ hours at the arcades, which became one of my most played arcade Tekken games along with Tekken 5 DR, seeing this game made me feel so nostalgic because it was the time when people played games just to have fun rather than competing against each other. Tekken Tag 1 was unbalanced, but we all loved it because we played it with the experience of having fun. Winning was fun and losing wasn't a big deal. Fighting game players nowadays are so competitive; they have a hard time getting over a loss and often hold a grudge against someone they've lost to. I really enjoy seeing your detailed insights about this game. You put a lot of information that I never knew back when I still played Tekken Tag 1 regularly. I never knew the tech roll height was lower than Tekken 3, tagging in on the player 2 side was closer, and some characters having longer health than others. By the way, there are a few details that I wish you included: - The kip up ukemi, which you had to hold forward when you hit the ground, was a new mechanic in this game. - Law and Paul was the only tag team which you could do a "GREAT" combo. A combo that makes the announcer say "GREAT!!!" once you pull it off. - When you tag out after Forest Law's Poison Arrow (f+2~1) during a successful hit, the partner does an automatic running command without having to input f,f,f (or f,f,N during tag in). Doesn't apply to every tag partner, though. - You can break the "double over" stun by tagging out. Though, I'm not sure if the recovery is faster than breaking it by pressing/holding forward.

I think the fact that combos were simple and it had good movement and okizeme game are part of why the game was so popular and still well liked. Most of the players were kids and teens in a time where good info on the game was hard to find on the internet, and good movement and okizeme are something you can learn more intuitively in a party setting (which was how most played in the west, online wasn't a thing), while you pretty much need to lab combos. I didn't even realize how important juggles were until T6 This lead to a fuller experience of the entire game for an entry level player.

I love this era of Tekken and fighting game. Just started high school, TTT, MVC2, SC2. SO many great fighting games. The golden era for sure.

My favorite tekken. The one i still play this day ❤

I can't believe I played this game nonstop as a kid and I still didn't know any of these mechanics or the tech. Great informative video!

I remeber in 2000 the game looked sooooo sick. My friends and I loved this Tekken so much. Graphics, Sound and Gameplay were the best in this time.

This is my favorite tekken. Broken. Silly. Inconsistent. But so charming and quirky

Damn man someone really looked at Devil and said "yeah thats OK, ship the game now"

If there's one Tekken, I can always go back to & have a good time, it's Tekken Tag 1. It's definitely the more fun Tag game in comparison to its sequel.

*Sakura Schoolyard is one of the best Tekken Themes of all time.* Change my mind.

This is probably my favorite series you've done so far. I hope you continue to do these retrospectives in the future; as one who only recently started playing Tekken , the history of the series is absolutely fascinating. Tekken Tag Tournament was the only Tekken game I ever played when i was younger, and that was more so casual mashing instead of playing. The soundtrack holds a special place in my heart.

Even though he is undeniably the worst character in the game, Prototype Jack has arguably the best design out of all the Jacks.

Realest Tekken ever. If you played this game back in the day, odds are it's still your favorite.

I wish all Tekken games are available on the latest consoles/platforms and have great netcode, so that after watching an awesome retrospective video like this we all gather up online and have some good ass Tekken time.

The quality, the amount of effort and love you put into your videos makes all of us Tekken fans really proud. Thank you for the art you create ❤ As someone who loved the franchise since day one, I still learn smthn new every time you post smthn.

Fantastic vid! It's interesting you spent a ton of time on Devil when other than Unconkable, he didn't really get a ton of tournament notoriety compared to the Jin/Kazuya team which iirc won every TTT Evo.

The last "old" Tekken. A nice little nugget wedged between 3 and 4 with both older gen graphics and new era PS2 visuals

this was THE game to play in the arcades back in the day. either this, MvC2, or soul calibur... i still remember the character select screen music, and vibe to this day

I'm so glad my sleep schedule is messed up to watch this at 3 am!

Thank you for giving us a trip down memory lane! Game is a classic indeed

14:04 the credits with the ending song, my god that's perfect❤

Still my favourite Tekken game to this day & unknown (her Tag 1 version) is my favourite boss character, her stage & music was so awesome!

The best Tekken content creator, by a mile. Congratulations on another wonderful video

Bruce has always been a force of nature in the series. But yes he was an all-out Muay Thai smashing machine in TTT, easily capable of beating any character on the roster to the punch 😎👌🏽🥋

Oh yes, Tekken 4 is next, and I know it's going to be another amazing video just like this one💯 P.S: P. Jack disrespected another time🤣

I keep coming back to watch this video just because of the editing and the production. Good work!

Can’t wait for T4 retrospective. Probably my favorite Tekken growing up.

When describing Angel I thought you said “WAP Devil” 😂😂😂

Keep up the amazing work Blasted Salami! The quality is absolutely insane, some of the best tekken videos out there!

The music man. So good and so nostalgic

Don't forget the incredible music and (for it's time) great aesthetics!

Amazing content as always, I hope you know it's much appreciated

Incredible - always amazing content. I played T3 and TTT very casually - this provides a lot of context I didn’t have when I was younger

I love it. Please keep breaking down these old games. I'd even love to hear about mid tier characters and how tournaments at the time evolved. I love your videos because they're made by someone who really loves these games, warts and all, for others who love these games. Can't wait for the tekken 4 video.

Ooooo that ending theme just gave me so much nostalgia.

TTT was my first PS2 game and one of my favorites.

This is the first time I've seen any of your videos and I must say the quality of your work is seriously impressive, your knowledge of the game is vast and your production values are a tier above the rest, you even allowed the excellent music from the game to be appreciated, rather than lazily throwing it on. Keep up the good work!

As always outstanding quality and depth of visuals and explanations in your vids. And classic Tekken music is just perfectly fitting. Great go Salami.

Your breakdown is amazing! This game shaped my life in a lot of ways. I would verse people at the arcade and let them win the second round so I could play more. And on a Friday after school I'd have a line of people waiting to play me at the arcade haha. Big fish in small pond, but loved it.

still love that intro and the music...so good!

This game still looks SO GOOD

Great video. You guys are always delivering top notch quality videos. Can’t wait for the Tekken 4 Review. There are some good memories .

TTT - Staff Roll (credits) = My favorite video game music track of all time.

That was my first game on ps2 and I loved it so much

Dino, really nice coverage of the Changs. Your insight into the game shows. I would have definitely included Lei somewhere in here, especially considering the focus on tiers. He has the mixups, the movement, and bears some interesting comparisons to Bruce - in terms of approachability, execution, & spacing. Your thoughts about Devil players ring true. Looking forward to the next video.

The love you put on every video that you make is appreciated. On behalf of the Tekken Community. We love you so much Arya 💚

That tag blazing kick is the sickest thing i've ever seen in a tekken game holy shit it looks badass O_O

Amazing video as always! I'm absolutely loving these presentations of previous games.

It must be a real joy to go back and listen to so much excellent music for these videos.

I was looking forward to this since you responded to my comment! I get the feeling that the algorithm will be kind to tekken 4 video, as it was the ps2 one that many many people played

YESSIR! This video was dope! I love man you keep killin it from the production to the script, the videos are always fire.

Armor King is my favorite character still remember the hours I put in Tekken tag can't wait for the next installment🤦🏾‍♂️🍰🍹🥈🕯🎮💺🔥🐉

God the piano intro is so fucking nostalgic!! It just unlocks part of my brain. Also Xiayous theme from tag 1 one is underrated, but also Staff roll music is one of the best tekken songs ever, only maybe Moonlit Wilderness truly compares and maybe Antares

Thanks I've been waiting for this... looking forward to see more TEKKEN retrospects 💜

This is absolutely amazing. Extremely informative and entertaining, and hope you'll make more!

Idk how you make these videos but these always are so in depth.

The quality of these videos are mind-blowing ! ❤️ keep doing awesome work !

This was such an awesome throwback! Thank you always for the sublimely cool content

This was the only game I bought for my PS2 on launch. It was all I needed for a while. And man, it blew my mind when I saw how much better it was than the arcade version.

love all of your videos! The work you put in and the quality of these vids are some of the best on youtube.

Another superb video. As someone who played Tekken since T1, really enjoyed this trip down memory lane! I mained Bruce and don’t remember him being that OP but maybe that was who I paired him with. My friend was a GREAT Bryan player and his orbital heel was deadly! Also, as usual, struggled again Jin/Kaz EWGFs. Look forward to more videos!

LEGENDARY. Golden age. DAYS and days of fun. This game made us very happy. 😝😍😎

the first Tekken game I put lots of hours in the arcade. Jin and Devil are bonkers in this game. Nearly unstoppable.

The graphics were mind blowing at that time. And still, the character 's aesthetic was much better than today ( not everybody was overmuscular with huge shoulder or over sexualized ) . One of my very favorit tekken game.

My all time favorite fighting game. Great video

I grew up with this game as a kid, thank you for giving it justice :)

Awesome video! 100K subs will come soon. So well done and professionally put together.

Tekken 3 was my first.....loved it to death.... but when TTT dropped omg, still my favorite today.

Top quality content as always. Thank you so much for pouring your efforts in this 👍

Great video! Loving these retrospectives

really great stuff!! the t3 retrospective got me on board the channel (and kinda back into tekken, in a sense) and this video is another banger. tag 1 occupies this very strange space in my mind where it almost feels like "the forgotten tekken game" but i can see here that's absolutely not the case. maybe it just FEELS like a game that only exists in a dream? i think the whole "high resolution tekken 3" feel it has makes me feel that way. might be cool to check it out sometime if i have the ability!

This video it's just amazing! Thank you man for the hard work! Definitely a must see video!

My fav tekken game, my fav soundtracks. Forever and always

This is the peak of what a youtube video can be. Nice work.

The first addition of tekken bowl also, was a great change of pace after bashing your finger tips to bits.

Nice breakdown definitely learned some new stuff !

Those last few lines though. Poetry.

this is hands down.. the greatest youtube video ive seen since 2009. respect beyond subscription

Well done amigo, thanks for the hard work here.

I just wish we had a Tekken like this. A bit simplier, more about neutral, not "lol I have an EX bar so I ToD you". Tekken 7 started so well and now I don´t know what to think of it but I sure don´t think is worth playing it seriously now.

Just started watching & you start off with a banger like xiaoyu’s theme? I’m hooked already

Thank you alot for this. I learned something new this time and it looked gorgeous as always. If you actually planing on doing this with all Tekken games, i can't wait for Tekken 6 (unironically my favorite).

huh...dident catch last time that you are doing the entire series...AWESOME!!!

This tekken was incredible good. So much nostalgia. I know my cousin visited me and my Familie. We were suprised. Then me my 2 brothers and my cousin played tekken Tag tournament 1. we had so much great time.

While everyone at the arcade was picking Devil, Ogres, Changs or Mishimas, I was sticking it out with my team of Lee and Jun.

The game that really, REALLY got me to care about Tekken. I used to run Jin/Paul when I played this game. I was never any good, but hot damn, did I have some fun. I love this video cause it shows me a world with this game that I didn’t know existed at the time (I was like 11 when I first played this)

Devil's twin pistons can be punished by backdashing and interupting with twin pistons

Appreciate this coverage!

Fantastic video! Gonna go order Tag HD, never played it despite really liking Tekken. Hope you're planning to do a Tekken 4 retrospective soon.

love that ending theme, even if I did have to hear it a million times, on its own it's good

This was Beautiful😢

Incredible as always.

What a blast from the past. Great video.

What a great video! Keep it up man, love it.

This was amazing. I wasn't very fortunate to have played any of the tag games but I realise that they were fantastic in their own right.
