Kazuya being a shoe head is an amazing callback/reference to the Tekken 1 manual where it listed shoes as his hobby

King runs an orphanage, Kiryu ran an orphanage... has anyone ever seen King and Kiryu in the same place at the same time?

Devil Jin in the story: No dude, I was protecting and helping you all this time. I´m totally a good guy. Devil Jin´s ending: Destroys everything and everyone

The fact that Dragunov builds Warhammer in seclusion like I do makes him a man after my own heart XD

Reina has some of the best voice lines. If she beats Kazuya she says, “I don't see a suitable cliff; I'll finish you off here.”

Marshall Law's arcade playthrough is fucking incredible because his line-up is just a bunch of characters are the ones which trigger his "I HATE RICH PEOPLE" voice line entrance

The best thing about Kazuya ending is that it canon can in his bio in T1 it listed his likes and sneakers are there

Yoshimitsu's ending is the cursed sword taking over his body. It's actually really dark, Yoshimitsu the man is now just a puppet for Yoshimitsu the demon blade. I actually hope they stick with this plotline.

I think Bryan Fury Road is my favorite ending. Law just goofing for the camera kills me.

Is kind of funny how dirty Asuka gets treated, her entire intro and ending is revolved around Lili while Lili ending has nothing to do with Asuka and even appears in others endings that have nothing to do with her like in Azucena

IIRC Heihachi's death was never made public, so the only ones that should know the truth are Jin, Kazuya, Lars, Lee, and somehow Reina.

Kazuya got the korean back-dashers.

TIMESTAMPS FOR THE ENDINGS: 0:55 Alisa Bosconovitch 2:53 Asuka Kazama 5:04 Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo 7:21 Bryan Fury 9:09 Claudio Serafino 10:57 Devil Jin 12:39 Sergei Dragunov 14:36 Feng Wei 16:28 Hwoarang 18.11 Jack-8 19:58 Jin Kazama 21:58 Jun Kazama 23:41 Kazuya Mishima 25:27 King II 27:43 Kuma II 29:28 Lars Alexandersson 31:46 Marshal Law 33:25 Lee Chaolan 35:30 Leo Kliesen 37:38 Leroy Smith 39:18 Emilie "Lili" de Rochefort 41:22 Nina Williams 43:13 Panda 45:14 Paul Phoenix 46:52 Raven 49:05 Reina 51:46 Shaheen 53:58 Steve Fox 56:17 Victor Chevalier 58:42 Ling Xiaoyu 1:00:42 Yoshimitsu 1:02:50 Zafina

Love that the subtitles are just completely different some of the time. All Azucena says is “I knew it would be good” when the alpaca drinks the tea latte.

Kazuya as a sneaker pimp makes so much sense

Dragonov discovered the true ultimate power... kitbashing!

Why do I find Matt's wheezy laugh to be super amusing and contagious?

Alisa's reminds me of Sebastian's ending in Tag 2 where everyone is surprised by his win and it's soft implied he beat Lili last to win who's super salty (good name for her cat). It ends on a nicer note where she congratulates him though. I hope Matt does a theater on Tag 2 endings. They're high in variety and super short and sweet and artistic. Most are goofy but some are surprisingly super emotional... Combot...

After taking over the world Kazuya made sure that manufacturers only made a single pair of all the hypest sneakers in his size.

Lars' story is basically Ex Machina mixed with a whole bunch of anime. Im all for it.

So happy they did good by my boi Bryan. It's the perfect end for him, he's just loving life.

...I envy Reina's hot old guy harem

8:37 Bryan becomes Tekken 6 Jin.

That is the correct reaction to an intro casually mentioning a perpetual motion machine before moving right along.

The Kazuya and Jin endings were beautiful 😭 I’m not a fighting game person but I’ve always loved Tekken for its awesome endings and fantastic music, so seeing these stories continued warms my heart haha

Is it me, or that Byran ending is the most wholesome ending for him. And i think the reason it keep saying that Hehachi is gone or disappeared is that the world doesn't know that he is dead maybe?

I love how Reina's ending has all Mishimas EXCEPT Victor's there because Reina likes dilfs apparently

LOL they actually call Bryan a replicant now, instead of cyborg? So he's straight up Roy Batty. :P

7:26 He does; Bryan's dying at the beginning of his Tekken 4 story due to the inferior tech by Dr. Abel. But in his Tekken 4 ending he gets put to sleep and subsequently fixed by Dr. Bosconovitch. That also gets mentioned in his Tekken 5 story, so it's canon. I still remember my friends and I being so intrigued by it and we wondered how he would end up looking in Tekken 5 then. Turned out, not different at all, but yeah. So that was a thing. 1:04:14 It's the "heart" of Azazel, so... yes. In Tekken Tag 2 it would also be shown to have the ability to transfer the devil powers into other fighters.

Wow asuka and law really got burial into jobbers in this game

I am so happy about xiaoyus prominence in these endings. She has grown into proper young woman like sakura from SF compsred to their younger portrayals in earlier games. I also want to give shout-out to kazuya, jin and juns endings where there are some legit wholesome parts there. Even panda has funny ending 😂

Now it should be noted that most of these arcade endings can’t really be considered canon, but there’s a fair few that fit nicely into the story mode’s lore Like Kazuya demolishing a bowl of mung beans. (Also fun fact; the reason why she basically just serves bowls of beans and corn is because she’s canonically a terrible cook, so this is the only thing she’d be good at making. Harada says that it’s because she gets distracted by fixating on the ecological impact of what she makes so much that she ends up burning everything)

49:20 Yeah that great role model Heihachi with all his throwing his son off a cliff and into a volcano and shooting his grandson.

Right off the bat that Alisa one... This is going to be good.

I like the detail of Jun having been covered by a G corp blanket when she was asleep signalling it might have not been a dream after all. P.S. I think the reason for the unsureness in the endings about Heihachi is the fact that nobody knew Kazuya and Heihachi fought and that he got beaten.

I love how in true Tekken universe fashion Matt only consistently read the subtitles were the bears

Kazuya rocking that sneaker collection

About Leos ending: Being a German, I can say that the translations in Leos ending are rather scuffed. Makes me wonder whether the translations of the other languages are any good at all. Some sentences have been exchanged for entirely other sentences. Like 36:50 how they replaced "Was hast du getan" ("What did you do" / "What have you done") with "What is it?". And after that his dad says "I only touched it briefly", as opposed to him saying that nothing's wrong.

"and this perpetual motion machine Bryan made is a joke. It just keeps going faster and faster"

Loved the sneaker collection reveal

Maybe Victor's lady is Master Raven🤷🏽‍♂️

Does Dragunov even talk *Dragunov’s strained grunt* No he doesn’t 😂😂😂😂

Always come through on a sunday! Me and my two sons watch your vids before they go home to their mother. You've been a part of our tradition for a minute now man 😂

Mr McMuscles, you really came through with this one. Perfect timing.

This is why I love Tekken so much the arcade endings can either be super serious or goofy as all hell.

Tbf, Kazuya was the only witness to Heihachi’s death, with Akuma as a possible exception, so as far as anyone knows, he just dropped off the face of the Earth

Fighting game theater is my go to Playlist for something to relax to and help me sleep so happy to have another addition to watch for real now and add to later.

'London Death Blight' would be a sick band name.

I'm surprise you didn't get the reference with Lee's ending Matt, it's suppose to be parody of him being Tony Stark aka Iron Man with Hachi as his butler Jarvis. Hell this whole games story mode is basically Avengers with the fighters coming together for all out war battle.

Nobody ever dies from explosions in Tekken.

My favorite endings are split between Lars and Kuma. 😂

I think pauls ending is reference to tekken 2s story for him where he got disqualified for appearing too late to fight kazuya at the semi finals Jun actually never died it wssnt a retcon btw 😅 harada said she wasnt dead like 13 years ago and even before then no one actually said she was dead just that jin got knocked unconscious and woke up with her and ogre not around

We need Complex Sneakers for video with Kazuya Mishima

just for info, Claudio didnt say " bastardo " but " basterà un colpo " which means " one hit will be enough " and not " this is the end ".

I think the only one who actually knows that Heihachi is dead is Kazuya. He jsut hasn't told anyone because he hopped straight into World Domination.

"Drop him off something high, that usually does the trick" Matt, Kazuya is still around BECAUSE THAT DOESNT DO THE TRICK.

I haven't heard such authentic laughter from you in so long. Bryan's ending was peak and Law's just feels like the ultimate punchline!

KAZUYA DRIP MISHIMA, ok so I didn't think that one was real-real, I thought that shot of him with the shoes I've been seeing on Twitter was for an ad for the game, I didn't think it was his ACTUAL ENDING, that's amazing.

21:22 we love his mom too

My brain doing circles when it's given-names alphabetical... and then LAW.

I can't support this creator anymore after that tea slander. I'm sorry mr.youtuber, its over for the two of us.

YEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYE!! This is what I big wanted! Thanks Matt! You're the best!

22:01 Jun’s ending has got to be one of the saddest endings in Tekken and since she wanted to have her son and lover together as a family and yet when she makes up from her dream she realizes that’s all at once. 23:46 Kazuya’s has got to be the one of the funniest ones I’ve ever saw since he comes from this tough guy evil attitude and his main dream is they have the biggest shoe collection in the world. 31:47, 45:16 Both Law and Paul or even worse since both men are like down on their luck kind of guys I mean they’re like The Cheech and Chong of Tekken where one is in serious debt, which he ends up committing Karakiri on himself *cough* Marshall Law *cough*, the other one can’t even make it in time to the tournament fight *cough* Paul *cough*. 49:07 Reina Mishima is definitely the Yandere sister of Kazuya and seriously daddy‘s girl is keeping both her brothers (Lars and Lee) and nephew (Jin) along with her lovable bear (Kuma) in line as she seeks world domination. 54:01 But the best one has got to be Steve Fox since he goes from good looking boxer champion, 56:03 to training with Arnold Schwarzenegger in becoming the new Mr. Olympia and give him the whole new phrase “true heavyweight champion” to his good friends Paul and Marshall.

King was my first main on Tekken 3 and since 4 Steve also became my main, I find absolutely INSANE their pairings in this game, Matt was very mild with King's ending but I absolutely LOVED IT! Loving this game

Alisia is now the Hinata??? ❤❤😂😂😂

They keep trying to make Nina Williams a cool cold girlboss but she always just ends up looking like a lame tryhard. They should just accept she's got nothing but X-Pac Heat and run with it. Give her the same embarassing endings that good characters like Law get saddled with.

22:56 man jin and kazuya are literally vergil and nero

I've seen almost nothing of Tekken 8 outside of this, so I wasn't aware that all the characters just spoke in their native tongue with subtitles. I can't remember any other examples of this, and I actually really like it. (I imagine it also saves a ton of money on VA work for international releases.)

So the reason they say heihachi is missing I think is cause the only people that know he died were the ones watching the battle

Some minor bits are lost just watching the opening and ending, like how everyone Law fights in the mode is someone to which he says his "I hate rich people!" line. Paul has a bunch of lines about running late and needing to hurry since all his matches are pre-tournament.

The news feed setups reminds me of earth defense force

I appreciate this post-babel world where everyone is able to understand multiple languages

1:01:13 that was his thing back in the day before they turned him into revenge man

If anything can save Kazuya it's his extremely hot wife saying "stop it"

Whoever writes these endings is a genius

I still find it funny how both Shaheen and Rashid have the primary motivation of avenging their unnamed friend.

lawz ebdig is that of starship troopers i love it

i think Hwoarang’s ending and paul’s is just a great one two punch. you even see the convoy that paul and law almost crash into in Hwoarang’s ending and i love it!

Glad to see that the Tekken endings are back.

If it can be believed, somehow Jun was originally set to be in Tekken 3, which would have changed the story considerably. So internally, they kind of retconned a retcon. But taking Jun and Kazuya out for Jin makes too much sense for a new generation game.

Heihachi fell into a time Warp and will now show up as a guest in SC7 (which would fit because SC6 was a reboot/remake of SC1 so SC7 would be SC2).

58:40 okay look I know it was a goofy joke, but if Panda canonically hooked up with a human despite Kuma having been trying to get with her for FOREVER I'd find that hilarious

When's Crymetina Critiques on Tekken 8?!

So... there we have it.😪

Why do I get the feeling Lilli's ending is a massive "My name is Skylar White yo" reference?

the fact that Paul ducked that tank makes me think that what happened to Law happened to Paul multiple times before

Jane from Jack 8's ending was the little girl from Gun Jacks ending in Tekken 3

steve fox's ending.. did he take sterods to get that buff man or what... like damn man there goes your outbox boxing style

Harada hates Law confirmed

Lars, WTF ARE YOU USING FLYING BOATS???? That is WW I and II era seaplane tech! Did you play Kancolle, saw how Taitei-chan extended LBAS range, and fell in love with them? Edit: or Victor plays, since he was a Marine Nationale admiral, and the lady is Richelieu...

Matt doing his newsy impression made this

The only people who know what happened to Heihachi was Kaz and Akuma. To everyone else he's just missing.

your laugh is a killer

Does anyone hear the Liberation of Gracemeria theme during the character introductions?

I like how panda appers to not exist in many vases, but kuma is always there

THIS DUDE EATING BEANS

Mr Muscles sir, don't get angry with me, but you have Fighting Game Theater play list on your other channel. I'm paying attention and just wanna help

It's weird how Yoshimitsu, the goofy shakespearian ninja/samurai and probably the silliest character in the Tekken roster, has the most serious ending.

The Shawn Michaels joke absolutely ended me.😂

Devil Jin's ending after playing the story is so funny
