I remember playing tekken 1 on the arcade when i was i think 11 or 12, same year i discovered tekken 2. Tekken 3 was the game i purchased playstation 1 for. Eddy was a reason i started capoeira, Hworang was a reason i started practicing taekwondo and Heihachi why i threw my son into volcano :) (that WAS a joke!) Tekken changed my life and i iove the whole tekken series and all sound tracks!

Tekken 5 is IMO the best game in the series. It was Tekken 3 that actually made me start martial arts myself; first Taekwondo due to Hwoarang, and later Capoeira due to Eddy and Christy which I'm still doing

One of the most historically important fighting game franchises ever. Introduced so many fighting styles and memorable characters to the world, and quite honestly doing it all significantly better then Uncle Virtua Fighter and Grandpa Street Fighter

Harada said it himself that Tekken X Street Fighter is definitely not canceled. He confirmed it on Twitter. And I quote, "Not in my first language to be very difficult and very labor intensive. I'm sure my interviews have given some misunderstandings, at least nearly half of them so far. I'm prepared for some misunderstandings, but I want everyone to know that there are many cases like this. We are still hopeful that TKxSF will resume development when the opportunity arises. However, such a title cannot be moved just for the convenience of one company in terms of marketing and branding, and it also affects each other’s development resources." I'm still hopeful for the day to arrive when it finally releases😁

Tekken was my first game on playstation. The original trilogy can't be topped.

"Remember the time we stayed up all night drinking apple Schnapps and playing Tekken 2?"

I had a dream once where you uploaded this video, and I'm impressed that my dream actually came true. Also, that Tekken Tag Tournament story was an emotional rollercoaster! Great work, and I can't wait for Soulcalibur: The Complete History!

Kazuya Mishima- best hair in videogames.

Ironic enough I also have a Tekken Tag Tournament related story. Its one of the few memories I have with my dad before he and my mother separated. Remember playing it on our Blockbuster rented PS2 (which we never returned) and fighing him with Yoshimitsu and beating him until he called me "cheap" and walked away from losing lol. Tekken Tag truly is the game that keeps families together apparently lol

One of my favorite aspects of early Tekken was unlocking new characters as you beat the game over and over.

I remember trying to describe Heihachi to my grandmother in a way she could quickly understand, and so I called him "The Victor Newman of this game." The soap "The Young and the Restless" was her favorite and Victor was her favorite character.

. This was EPIC. Very well done.

I love Tekken! Tekken 3 was my first Tekken game for the PS1.

This series.. love the characters, but dang does that music lives in my soul, and mind. There is something that cannot be described when the gameplay and music take you to another level. With each entry, the music went harder. It is an awesome series, past and present. Plus the visuals, designs, and world building were amazing. But dang when they did that teaser, Jin practicing, the sweat beading all over, the flow of movement, and light displaying tone on his body, it was surreal we were going to this level of character design. The Tekken team pushed so many creative ideas, inspired by, or influenced too. Thanks for this

it's cool to hear way harada came up even able to show his parents what he was doing actually works it's nice to see

I know Tekken 4 is considered the black sheep of the series by many, but it’s actually my favorite installment. I worked at a GameStop in a mall from late 2000 to early 2003, and I played the hell out of Tekken 4 in the mall’s arcade for well over a year. The competitive scene was quite decent for the game and I have great memories of pulling off certain juggles and parries and such with crowds of 10-15 people looking on. I really liked the additions of the wall jump and low parry. Xiaoyu was my main, with Jin being my number 2. I loved Jin’s design and move set. Soul Calibur II came along at some point in 2002 I believe, and I started playing it much more than Tekken 4, but Tekken 4 is still my favorite 3D fighting game experience, if only due to nostalgia and great memories.

Ahh, Tekken. Your storyline is absolutely batshit but I still love it.

I’ll admit I’ve fallen out of love with this game in the later years as I just find it doesn’t hold my attention like it did with all its extra modes back in the day! But gosh the amount of time spent playing 2, 3 and tag was insane! Such good memories!

I dont see much about tekken's development being documented on youtube. Nice to see a complete history on my favorite game series.

I don't think Tekken X Street Fighter is officially canceled yet. Rather, it's effectively canceled since they paused development in 2016. I wish Namco would just pull the trigger and end it or dig in and finish it up relatively soon.

The jump in graphics between Tekken 1 & Tekken 2 was nothing short of amazing. A bit of a theme with Namco during the PlayStation 1 era.

Been waiting for this, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

What an astounding video. As a lifelong Tekken fan it brought me immense joy watching this. Your passion for Tekken is evident here and your incredible editing made this such an enjoyable watch. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I respected the entire video....the only thing I want to ask you is...when you got to the Blood Vengeance part...DID YOU KNOW BLOOD VENGEANCE CAME OUT ON THE 3DS....It was an addition to Tekken Prime FOR THE 3DS...and it incorporated the 3ds effect ❤

What an awesome and in-depth retrospective!! Didn't expect you to also cover Street Fighter x Tekken, but you went the extra mile as always! One more cameo you forgot to include though was probably the most (in)famous one, Heihachi was a playable fighter in Soul Calibur 2! Since Tekken is also widely known for it's awesome music and you are also well-versed in music, which Tekken game's soundtrack is your favourite??

I'm starting to think we need a Complete History and Kick Scammers crossover episode covering scammy phone games. Bonus points if you manage to convince Raid to sponsor it only to bash on them at the end.

One of the best fighting game series ever. Tekken 3, Tag 2 and 7 are my favorites. Nina, Heihachi and Kazyuya are my favorite characters. Can you do a DOA retrospective next, that was for a while my favorite fighting series

For a long while, back in the PS2 days, I thought this and Yakuza were related.

The first 3 Tekken games were a big deal for me and my buds. None of us moved onto the PS2 games though. I think Tekken 3 was so complete feeling that we kinda didn't feel the need for any more just yet. I remember we had a day once where we played Tekken 3 all day, well into the night, unlocking basically everything. Rad times.

King is still one of the most iconic video game characters of all time.

I'm a bit saddened that T6 and TTT2 weren't well received. I had a couple years of fun with them both, especially playing online, and especially with a good buzz on. I still want Tekken X Street Fighter too.

2 and 3's opening cinematics and soundtracks are truly amazing.

Man, this was a biggun. Excellent video. I love these giant projects. Good job dude!

A proud member of Team Tekken since the first time I saw a Tekken 2 arcade machine in a local 🍕 shop back in the mid-90s. I was ecstatic back in '99 when the bank I was working at got a Tekken 3 arcade machine in the break room....especially since it was free to play.

Tekken Tag was the first PS2 game I ever played. I got to play it before the PS2 released in the UK because a friend of a friend had just come back from Japan with a Japanese one and a copy of the game. Tekken 3 though, will always be my favourite.

Tekken Tag Tournament is the first game I ever 100% on the PS2, only to delete the save data because our memory card is full lol. Years later, played it again, this time in HD and on the PS3 and became my 20th Platinum. Really love and enjoy the game!!

I love Tekken, Tekken 5 is the Goat to me of fighters

I was really confused with Street Fighter x Tekken , since Tekken characters barely used fireballs, so why not do Tekken x Virtua Fighter instead?

Another complete history just before Christmas, thank you very much Dan!

Thanks for this Slopes. You work so hard on these Complete History vids. Tekken is one of my favourite gaming franchises and I've stuck with the mainline games (plus TTT1) since Tekken 2, which was the first one I played on the PlayStation.

That sound track with bells is incredible. Tekken 2 at my local round table pizza 🍕 was life.

The TekkenXStreetFighter game isn’t canceled. There was a error with English translation and Harada explained in a video soon after he found out about there was people talking about it. Yes there are websites saying the game is canceled, however check the dates for when that was published.

😍 Tekken 🥰 thanks for the 4K60FPS video quality 😇

I'm happy I got to watch this video and now a friend of mine just gifted me Tekken 7 ultimate edition on steam thanks to the sales! Tekken 3 was the last Tekken game I played and now I'm finally ready to catch up!

I’ve been a fighting game fan since Way of the Exploding Fist was first released but Tekken 3 quickly became THE fighting game for me. It’s so good!

Great video. I had the first 3 Tekken games on Playstation and played the first game in an arcade in Spain prior to owning a Playstation at all when I was still rinsing my trusty Megadrive. I feel the same way that number 3 was the real ground breaker in the series and stood out as an amazing title of the era. I was touched by your anecdote about your history with Tekken Tag and your family bless you man. I never owned a playstation 2 but as I had some good pedigree playing Tekken games I would enjoy going to friend's houses who owned the system and kicking there arse on theirs :o) For me, Tekken Tag team had the all time best Tekken mini game in the ten pin bowiling. I remember it took me ages to get a perfect score but then the best character to use wasn't immediately obvious. After that I played most of the main games that came out in the series but not to the same degree and I would say they were alright in their own way but not inspring like 3 and Tag Team had been before. I must say that the loading time on Tekken 6 was way quicker on the Xbox 360 than on the PS3. I played it on both systems and it was a nightmare on PS3, especially when we played team battles with the maximum team size. I mean the loading time between all those rounds felt like waiting for each quarter to load while playing NBA Jam Extreme on my orginal Playstation back in the day! Tekken 7 definitely has got that classic Tekken feel from what I've played of it since it came out and after watching this I may download on my Xbox One X tomorrow. I think it may be on the game pass ting these days. This is one of my favourite complete history videos that you have put out so far and through the years I was more of a side scrolling urban brawler gamer, growing up reveering the many great capcom titles in the arcades and the Sega Megadrive classic Streets Of Rage on the console side of things. Tekken is THE 1 on 1 beat-em-up series that I have played most consistantly throughout my gaming life and it is the one that I was most adept at playing as well. I have a lot of good memories connected to it over the years that's for sure. Thanks again for making this video and I can only offer you my apologies for the overly long comment if you managed to read all of this.. tis a bit wordy for sure! Have a great and festive weekend geezer! ... Peace Out

Unlocking Doctor B on Tekken 3 was the highlight of my high school years.

Another masterpiece. I may not be into the kickscammer videos, but your complete history videos are some of my favorite on youtube.

Fantastic video as always mate, what a monster! I've dabbled in Tekken over the years, particularly when I had 5 on the PS2. I've been meaning to get into 7 for ages now, especially given the tremendous longevity that game ended up having.

I've only discovered your channel, I watched the complete wipeout video first. I'm wipeout obsessed and even used to bring the discs to play at parties on the cd players lol. I love how you put in personal touches that connect you to each story, thankyou for sharing these personal touches it adds to the overall impact of the complete story as we all have our own stories connect to these great games! I'm a subscriber now and look forward to watching any future videos and if you haven't already done g police I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Tekken 4. Underground arena and punching the crowd was so satisfying

I loved everything about this. You do an amazing job and deserve way more subs and likes!!

The best thing about "Tekken 3D: Prime Edition" is the command shortcuts, where you assign a few combos (albeit with some limitations) to pull off at any time instead of needing to memorize and pull of the overly strict timing of them on your own.

Just unlocked all the characters in Tekken 4 last week, and Santa will be bringing Tekken 5 :) So this was AMAZING timing!

You sir just made my day!!Thank you ana Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Did...did you just mash up the Tekken 1 character select with Smack My Bitch up? You mad lad I need it in pure upload form!

I recall getting Tekken 3 as a rental. My father (who had no interest in video games whatsoever) came in while I was playing, watched for a few minutes, and said something to the effect of “we should go buy this.”

Far and away one of the best gaming videos on KZfaq. I doff my cap to you, sir

I love hearing about all of this history, even if I find Tekken basically unplayable. Tried multiple Tekkens (TTT2, Tekken 4 and 5 I think?), just too hard for me. Give me Soul Calibur or even Virtua Fighter any day.

Watching the arcade/story endings of every character from ever Tekken game (save for 7, at least in my opinion) were fun and amazing. Tekken games also had some of the best music, I even like some in 7. Tekken 5, 5 DR, & 6 I played Survival Mode to hell, & always enjoyed it (actually that was until I tried to play Survival Mode in T5 on PS2 & hadn't played it years. I stopped after a game where Paul punched my fighter, Law, 3 times getting a PERFECT on me...)

This was a great video. Pretty fun overall and the beginning was rather informative

my all time favorite franchise I've been waiting for this. thank you

With the recent resurgence of Virtua fighter and rumors of VF 6, i really hope we'll see VF vs Tekken one day.

Super interesting and well made video. Thank you !

Tekken 4 was the last Tekken game that I loved

I wish Namco gave every tekken franchise midscreen combo, results screen, victory theme, super/ultimate attacks, and

I wish Bandai Namco release a Tekken Collection.

Awesome work Happy new year!

A story that all started from a father throwing his Som of a cliff .

Awesome history and I appreciated the personal backstory of Tekken Tag

Great video man. I just subscribed!

As long as you take Kuma to be a guy in a bear suit vs an intelligent, fighting bear, he actually doesn't look bad.

awesome video!! thanks for making this

you know what can of worms you opened by doing a Complete history of Tekken... now you have to do one on Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur... Battle Arena Toshinden (well maybe not that last one). Great stuff Daniel... as always.

I guess that's why the very recent titles has less content and a dump load of DLC. Tekken 6 was the peak of content and being a game.

I still think Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection for the PS3 is the most intense and balanced game of the franchise, one very big reason to emulate in rpcs3 since getting a PS3 is rather pointless now, but their games have aged like a very fine wine, specially Dark Resurrection & Wipeout HD Fury, my top reasons to build a high-end gaming system to enjoy said games whenever I want without PSN account issues or net issues, you can play it over parsec and it plays wonderful, sadly emulation is still in a gray area and piracy still an issue, this is only way to play proper Tekken 5 DR online now. Amazing video!

FAST FFWD 4:08

1. Tekken 3 (PS1) 2. Tekken Tag Tournament (arcade) 3. Tekken 5 (PS2) 4. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (PSP) 5. Tekken 4 (PS2)

Tekken is the over all greatest fighting series of all time! The intros are incredible (particularly 2, Tag and 4), and the soundtracks are always addicting! The story is insane but I couldn't love it anymore than I do! Tekken is also the reason I asked for my first console (PS1) and many to follow!

If The Bouncer were going to age poorly, it would have needed to have been good ever

The lore of this game was mad... remember one of my mates being bare emotional when armour king died loool..

That's interesting. Metaverse related projects seem to be very popular. Every token seems to be into it. One project that has interested me most is called Ertha, a life simulation game on metaverse.

:) Great video! There is a gap in my memory and 2-3 years of my life that I don´t remember thanks to Tekken 3 basically, and partly Tekken 2. Did not do anything but play those games! 😅😁 Best years of my life!!!

Man Tekken Really Needed This Thnxs!!

Back in the early 2000’s when tekken tag came out, Sony or some subsidiary game company manufactures a prototype motion fight simulator that detects you punches, kicks and knees and transfer your skill rating and pinch speed to the game. In ten years or less tekken is probably gonna be processing estimate data on what type of fighter or whom type of fighter would win. Similar to the processing AI data used to match up and play against chess opponents.

I liked Tekken 4 a lot because you could interact with the stages. But overall Tekken 5 is probably the best in the series. Tekken 5 is legendary!! 🎉🎉🎉

If you pre-ordered Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection on PSP at GameStop, you got that D-pad overlay which helped a lot but you also got a wrist strap with a Tekken charm on the end of it. Wish I still had that stuff. I also almost bought Death by Degrees only cause I was a huge Tekken mark but I'm glad I didn't. In Tekken 5 you could play Tekken 1, Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 arcade modes in their entirety. That was badass and a feature nobody talks about. I haven't tried any of the games after Tekken 6 (It soured the series for me) but do any of the later titles reintroduce this feature? Tekken 7 should have come with a bundle including all of the past main titles.

This video is massive gem and I really loved it. Keep it up 😀🙌👏 Tekken, Resident Evil and Silent Hill are my triple triad when it comes to video game IPs and I will love them all until the day I pass ❤💯 I'm so so proud as to how far Tekken has come and I can't wait for the next journey after T7 ✊🙏⚡

Great vid new sub 👍🏾

I can hear that Prodigy loop in the background, bruv. 😉

I was expecting Tekken 5 but instead got death by degrees by mistake lol

41:42 the dude reading the ad sounds like he’s about to fall asleep

Welcome Back to the Stage of Histor-no wait, shit

Tekken 7 is the first game in the series to really break some of the basic fundamentals of the series like Team Battle, Survival, etc. in favor of a less-than-stellar story mode that feels like a filler arc. Without having anyone to play with, Tekken 7 has nothing going for it and feels like the worst game in the franchise even if the gameplay is the best the series has ever seen.

Annyone else who thinks Kazuya is the main character of Tekken and the most bad ass character in a fighting game ever?

31:22 "Your Kungfu is strong, pond-skipper. But the Tekken fighters are stronger." "WHAT?!" I laughed.

My favorite Fighting game series🔥🥋

That Tekken 2 commercial sounds like it was voiced by David Bateson (Agent 47) o:

TTT is also my favorite, me and my dad played the hell out of that game, we unlocked everything, it took us so long, i think we had more fun with the bowling mini game than any other mode. protip play bowling with one of the cyborg chars, and you get an aiming computer to help you get better rolls.
