14:44 Tekken 2 FMV Hiehachi looks like he's taking the worst dump of his life.

‘Tekken has gone to Tumblr, done some serious introspection and discovered himself as being combo-fluid’ I’m stealing this one, it’s just too fucking good man

There was a free Tekken Tag tournament machine at the pub my parents used to make me and my sister sit at while they pissed away the night getting drunk and inevitably screaming at each other. 8/10 game, stopped me from being an alkie and also provided that sweet sweet vidya escapism fix when I needed it most.

Tekken 3 is amazing, I was playing it with with my friend a couple weeks ago and I gave him the work as Hwoarang! He felt some type of way that he threw my controller on the ground and stormed outta my house. Good times!

As someone who's an avid fan of the Tekken series, Crash Bandicoot 3, and Dino Crisis 2, I really like your content. Your editing, writing, and sense of humor is top notch, as well. I can't smash that subscribe button hard enough.

Tekken 2 and 3 made my entire family get into fighting games..

I love how you pointed out that tekken (above all else) is a feeling , a vibe , an aesthetic and it’s something that’ has influenced a lot of the media i seek out today. The music and visuals were just so influential on an entire generation of kids. It also doesn’t hurt that the gameplay throughout the entire series (even tekken 4 dammit) is so addicting. Throughout the years it’s gotten more and more difficult but that core system of high mid and low hits has stuck around and for that the gameplay has always been amazing

You sure were tekken your time trying to render this out. Seems it was worth it.

CHICKEN !

Tekken Tag is my favorite, it took Tekken 3 and made it even better. But I still have to keep Tekken 3 around because of Tekken Ball

Something else 3d fighters have is that its possible to have alternate costumes. In sprite based fighters, it is enough hard work that it would be better to just put that effort into an actual new character.

Heihachi actually threw Kazuya off the cliff as a child and forced him to climb back up. based on the idea that 'if he was my son, he will be strong enough to climb back up'. This was actually to prove that Kazuya had the devil gene from his mother. Later Kazuya then did the same thing to Heihachi as a sort of revenge, just for then Heihachi to climb back up and once again, throw Kazuya off a cliff into a volcano. This is when the devil gene was 'activated' as a means to preserve the body it had taken over. There's actually a heck load of plot to tekken but in order to actually understand the story you have to play each game and get every characters ending and read all the dialogue etc. Interesting though, like learning Michele worked for Mishima corp as an Archaeologist but then fell in love and cancelled her work just for Heihachi to then wipe out her entire home town which is why she then fights in the iron fist tournaments, so she can exact her revenge on Heihachi for killing her family.

i really enjoy watching your videos. you have a really good way of building critique and commentary that's engaging so it makes it really easy to just keep watching a bunch of your videos

I've been subscribed for a while and I'm always impressed by the amount of effort that goes into these videos. Most small channels will complain in a vlog "GUYS BE PATIENT I'M TRYING MY BEST!!!!!!" and upload infrequently. But you keep goin. Hope this shit blows up one day, you deserve it.

Guilty as charged on having Tekken 3.

You always put very great efforts in your videos you deserve so much More Likes

parasite eve 2 ost playing in the background. 10/10

I had tekken 3 and i haven't even had a ps1

Dude that stage in tekken 1 scared me as a kid too

This is really some great work you've done here. It's all put together so well. You do seem well rested and energized since cutting back on the uploads. Looking forward to a hopeful Suda 51spotlight feature.

I love Tekken 3. It was my first fighting game when I was a kid, also the best fighting game on the PS1 for sure.

Katsuhiro Harada was the co-director for Tekken 3, Masahiro Kimoto also directed Tekken 3. Harada only took full creative control from Tekken 6 to onwards.

Tekken tag makes me feel all kinds of right

At last! I was waiting for this!

Tekken 3 might be better but Tekken 2 just has such a unique feel and atmosphere that I love it so much. The music, the stages, it's wonderful. The first three Tekkens also have unique stages and music for every character. I miss that.

dude why do your videos put a smile on my face and make total sense? CAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

Another good one Thor, you should do one on Final Fantasy or resident Evil, both has fascinating changes with each installment to discuss :)

Ugh, these retrospectives are so good it breaks my heart that they don’t have more views! THH needs more subs, these folks is sleepin on a giant here! Oh well, I grew up a punk so I’m sure if THH got big I’d just be annoyed and tell everyone “I dug his channel BEFORE it was big” for a while before finally declaring the channel sold out and go to find another small channel to complain no one is watching...the circle of life. Also, early tekken taught me the lessons that no one cares, as my aunt got me the first one for a birthday and I hated it and this complained about it all year like a brat, and then the same aunt got me the sequel because she said I was always talking about the last one so much I must’ve really enjoyed it, thus highlighting that the adults in my life only actually listened to about a quarter of what I said. But then I fell in absolute love with tekken 2 and began my longstanding love affair with my homeboy Kazuya and his DEVIL GEEEEEEENNE ARGGHHHH! Also I rented the tekken anima movie (it’s like one of my anime movies! -otacon) and my prepubescent brain thought it was just...so cool. So that happened. Also, I keep editing this comment to add other childhood tekken memories (every “also” is an edit, and I don’t even wanna admit to all the others), so basically it’s just dawning on me that I need a friend.

I use “no (burp) fuck that” in my everyday vocabulary now thanks!

I loved Tekken 3 as a child and I love this retrospective review! However, I've always been more of a Soul Edge fan, so if you could please just do a retrospective of them all someday, that would be amazing!

Lol I always thought that Tekken Advance WAS a port of Tekken 3. (owned the catridge with this game, some of the best days of my life beacause I NEVER in my life owned a PS but I owned Game Boy Advance and Sega Mega Drive as a kid)

Tekken 3 was pretty much half my childhood

5:14 man i feel the struggle. I tried playing tekken 2 on ps1 for the first time because i've heard that the game was a major leap from tekken 1. So i was curious as to how good the game would be. And then i play it, and wow the physics. The fundamental physics of the game was just really bad compared to tekken 3. I can't enjoy it in the end all because of that. Also, you left me in stitches with this skit

I actually only had Tekken 2... :\

How on Earth do you have such a unique way of narrating? I'm amazed there aren't 50 different types of this stuff already. Love it.

Angry Heihachi 22:41 Wow, just wow. I have never heard someone describe tekken 3 in this way before. Genuinely had me laughing 22:54

Whoa I was looking for this video awhile back but couldn't find. Glad its back

Final fantasy 3 DS and Parasite Eve music. Wow your music taste rocks man :D awesome videos about the Tekken series

5:00 is still one of the most genius layering of vocal gags Ive ever seen all these years after.

I’ll never forget how my Dad tried to explain that the Tekken 2 FMV’s we’re predictive programming.

Glad to see someone addressing the jarring and unexpected nightmare fuel of Armor King’s stage music lol as well as the wonderful, spacey, shiny, chrome, Y2K aesthetic of Tag Tournament

11:51 KING SPENT TOO MUCH THAT HIS SCHOOL HAS A CARTIER CLOCKFACE

Even my ex had Tekken 3 back then. She don't even liked fighting games...

The main appeal the Tekken series had for me was that Martial Law looked like Bruce Lee. I grew up watching his movies and other martial art movies in the theatres. Later, way before the PS1 came out, I also used to watch every Saturday King's manga series protecting the orphanage he grew up in. And they put in Jackie Chan's clone, Lei Wu Long, making this my favourite fighting game series ever.

12:18 is that a super sloweed-down version of Crying At The Discoteque?

you were playing the PAL (European) version of Tekken 1 and 2, that's why it's so slow, the NTSC version (USA/Japan) has the right speed: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLh5h7BlyLWskXU.html

😂😂😂😂 You are so funny and technical at same time

Fucking UHMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYZING. I really enjoyed this video; the laughs were super high & consistent and I felt like I was learning so much about Tekken that even playstation diehards failed to explain to me before. I honestly feel like this might be a fighting game for me cuz recently I was complaining to some friends exactly why I was kinda hating them recently - memorizing all the contextual combos and movements to be good. So it's super refreshing that this is something where you can just pick it up pretty easily. I'm straight up considering buying tekken 7. lol. I know this was probably an undertaking and a half with it being 30 min, but shit-damn did it work!

Tekken 1 fmv faces: Nina: disgusted Law: busting a nut King: putting the rave in rave war Nina: idk

Did you just say scruffy Chav? How do you know what a Chav is? We call em skangers, scumbags or scobes here in Ireland but familiar with the word Chav due to proximity to the UK. You truly are a man of world culture

Having played all old Tekken games extensively when they came out, Tekken 2 and TTT are my favorite "classic" Tekken games. They both have a great soundtrack and have style that I don't feel are there in Tekken 1 and 3. Yes, Tekken 2 is very stiff, but since I know the game from "back then" it is still playable to me. I really don't like the Tekken 3 soundtrack, it definitely bothers me when playing the game nowadays so I just play TTT which is better in most aspects anyways.

That Yoshimitsu laying on the ground part is fucking hilarious 😂

Really loved this video.

Kazuya's in Smash! Fuck yeah! My favorite Tekken games are 3, 5, and TTT2.

I know you meant chloroform, but the visual of a bunch of guys trying to knock out some other guy with a rag soaked in bleach was a treat

I remember having Tekken 3 with that beginning Galaga loading game And it never EVER went to the main menu I'll still be mad about that to this day

that red desert and that song got to me too as a kid haha

When I was born my dad got this game with PlayStation 1, I love this game so much and it pains me I broke the game twice!

I only had Tekken 1 growing up and I have to say that well.....the fmv intro absolutely terrified me as a child

I still have every copy of every Tekken i own, even the ones no one buys, and 3 still the best

the Tekken 2 intro gave me nightmares as a kid

22:38 I dunno why but I just kept staring at the screen for some reason, and lost all senses of what wad going on around me

16:13 better with a smoothie

2:11 what was the name of this game?

Bro you have to press triangle before you hit the ground to get back up quickly in tekken 2

Watching Tekken Advance gameplay made it harder for me to breath

Are there any other "disciplined" Fighting games like Bushido Blade and Tekken 1, where fighters fight like actual fighters and not do impossible combos and juggling?

cool. cant wait for part two

Anyone know the name of the track used during the Tekken advance review?

Tekken 1 had no side stepping sorry had to correct you there.

Jin and Kazuya: when they say you look a lot like your dad...

>carefully placed attacks and all that precise shit yeah my big sister always used to win and that was by literal button mashing

Gon but not forgotten, EH SEE WHAT I DID THERE

Xiaoyu's Tag 1 Portrait is Nightmare Fuel.

2:26 What game is it? I remember playing it on a Demo disk and I loved it.

Curious what song starts up at 23:07. Scratching my head to remember where it's from, if it's not from lightly binging on your videos.

10:30 True true true! I forgot how weird and ...effing neatos the musics were in this effing game ! MUCH better than the ACID FARTY DIARRHEA we started to get in TEKKEN 3 and higher

I must've watched the intro to Tekken 3 a thousand times back in the day and it still looks alright now. Not by modern standards obviously but waaaaaaaay better than the fucking horror show FMV's in Tekken 1 and 2. Anyway, review Onimusha!!!!

10:15 hehe red

yeah that whole "mini game while loading" patent was ridiculous up until 2015 no one was allowed to put a minigame in their loading screen even though a lot of games from 1995 to 2015 could have benefited from it thanks to their long ass loading times also I used to play the japanese version of tekken 3 because guess what? the western release of the game was slowed down

Man, that takes me back! I loved Tekken's crazy story. So enjoyable and weird.

No side stepping in Tekken 1 and 2 bro.

Namco copyright, of such a broad concept, was def a growing pain for the video game industry... I curse Namco, for the lost potential, and for making me sit through black screens.

I bought Tekken 3 as my second game. On my PS2. All said.

I never knew Tekken 3 was on GBA. Heck, a few weeks or months ago. I found out that kof 99 was on GBA as well

Top boy. Do you live in UK?

Wait is Lau from virtua fighters just Tao Pai Pai from Dragon Ball?

In Tekken 1&2 all i did was spam the triangle when floored and I always get uo fast. Red that on tekken Tag 1 manual or sth

I tried playing Tekken 2 on the t5 disc and played Jun (I'm main Asuka) and the game felt weird compared to 3 onward. Anyways, you're pretty good at dissecting gameplay.

the tekken 1 loading screens are the best

18:08 what the heck

I only owned the first Tekken, but played the shit outta the Tekken 3 demo on Playstation Underground

> tells about crappy early 3d graphic and gamplay > shows Starfox footage sigh! children...

3:29 i think you mean chloroform there bud.

Tekken 1 was broken. Armor King, enough said.

Can't believe he didn't pull a single proper combo in the whole video lol

13:08 👍

14:46 CORPORACION DE TELEVISION DE LA PONTIFICA UNIVERSIDAD CATOLICA DE CHILE PRESENTA...

What game is show between 2:26 - 2:34 ? Anyone? @ThorHighHeels
