Kazuya was a great boss villain. I remember losing to him 27 times in a row but I didn't mind because his stage music was so good. Dramatic in a J-drama sort of way yet the music implies Kazuya's inner motivations and internal conflict. Such was the Playstation's hardware limitations at the time, background stages, lighting, music and character design were crucial for creating atmosphere and intrigue around the game's story. For a fighting game which are usually light on narrative to begin with, Tekken 2 really got it right which paved the way for its seminal sequel.

Then when you finally beat the game you're treated to this. Enduring all those beatdowns was worth it in the end. Landscape Under the Ghost Kaminano

Bless you @roti and thank you 😊🙏

I kept forgetting to respond to your post here.

I'm out and about so I'll post now though.

I remember when Tekken 2 was released in
the arcade and then for the Sony PlayStation.

Tekken 2 and Virtua Fighter were beautiful
beautiful games to see be released because
of the new graphics at the time. Tekken was
easier for me to get into.

Tekken always had good music too. Prodigy, band
from the UK i love influenced TEKKEN 3 soundtrack
from what I've read about the game before.
And the soundtrack was also good.

But yeah I agree with every single thing you
say about Tekken, the story and everything.

Plus Kazuya wasn't necessarily a "good"
character either as he was the protagonist
and that was very unique for the time.
He wasn't trying to save the world.

Just throw his father off a cliff 😶...

The series really did do some unique things
for the series and fighting game genre as a whole

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad I’m not alone in having a deep appreciation for this series.

That intro movie takes me back, no matter how many times I saw it already, I’d let it play to the end.

You immediately feel a sense of what this game is about from that intro. The final shot is beautiful of Angel embracing Kazuya at the top floor of a skyscraper overlooking a black winter nights sky..

Tekken 2 was dark af when you consider that Heihachi was the protagonist. I found that strange as a kid. But I guess not everything is black and white was the lesson.

I was glad Kazuya got added to Smash Bros roster. He’s finally getting his dues, it can’t always be about Jin 😚

The music has always been solid throughout the series. Perhaps after Tekken 5 it became more generic to suit the times, the emphasis being on competitive gameplay (e-sport) over everything.

Tekken 3’s OST is notable. Super good. That big beat, trip-hop, guitar driven, Prodigy sound. Amazing presentation, a leap forward in style and gameplay.

One final thing, Netflix will release a Tekken anime in August covering the events between Tekken 2 and 3. Check out the trailer ✌🏼

EXACTLY EXACTLY, @roti. You have it all in one*!!!

I'm supposed to be doing some things over here but your message,
It's just so so on point I had to respond! AND I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT
THE INTRO FOR TEKKEN 2. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN.

I replay it even when I come here to this thread lol.
It just bring me back in time in the 90s that I can't even fully express.
And if I try to express I feel it some how dwindles the meaning and importance of it all.
I'll just say the smell and beauty of that time runs through that intro and that's why I always return.

What you say about things not being so black and white too --oh my goodness, yes.

I think Tekken got it right too because looking at a fighting game
from the story perspective, which even around this time it was
extremely vague, but Namco did a great job bringing it close to our reality where
everyone has a shadow side and personal imperfections! No one is squeaky clean.
And even if you are, you still have things you are working on about yourself. That was Tekken.

Do you remember when Jin won Tekken 5 and then became ruler around Tekken 6?
He started to look just like his father or maybe even his grandfather when we all
thought he was better than both of them!

And the music you were saying around
Tekken 6. I agree 100% +. The music before that was more...
revolutionary because it was DIFFERENT and took on new sound
than the other fighting games. Granted, STIII finally decided to explore
different sound too (DNB/HOUSE/HIPHOP ETC) But both SF and TEKKN sound bland a bit now.

Also too, Tekken I think had to take a bit of time to shine because of
games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter were just on top at the time..

But as the years went on, those two just lost their way where TEKKEN just stayed
to its roots and improved on it.. Tekken is definitely my favorite out of the bunch.

EDIT: Oh YESS I seen I seen the Trailer. It looks so nice. TEKKEN 3 I love so much too. 1997❤️

--------------------------------------

Lol I didn’t mean to take up your time but thank you for taking the time to respond.

Tekken 2’s intro has depth. Just from a few seconds we get to know the vibe of each character introduced to us. It’s very of its time (the music, graphics) yet timeless.

There’s little hints in the first Tekken that Kazuya isn’t what he seems and isn’t a hero. He has a secret costume revealing his devil form. And well his ending lol. It’s those details that made Tekken standout. The director of 1 and 2 also worked on Virtua Fighter. Namco wanted Tekken to be a low cost alternative to VF with personality.

Yes Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter took most of the attention away for awhile, Tekken 7 redeemed itself adding new game mechanics & guest characters. The story is retconned to hell but it is what it is.

Tekken used real martial artists motion capture to bring authenticity to its games. This was so cool to me and perfectly synchronised to the music.

The intro to Tekken Tag Tournament truly felt like we were entering a new century. It was exciting to witness the leap in graphical power and creativity. It still looks and sounds good today. My boy Kazuya reclaiming his poster boy status from Jin once again 😅

Alright, that animated RPG text box is dope.

My parents got me a PS2 two months before my birthday that I wasn't allowed to open until then. Tekken Tag was one of the launch titles. I knew where it was hidden but couldn't resist opening it and playing the game before putting it back like nothing happened. I was just in awe experiencing playing it for the first time as wrong I was for going against my parents wishes.

They call Tekken 4 the black sheep of the series, so many under appreciated innovations that were subsequently removed from future games. That said the atmosphere was something else. A smaller, intimate game.

Authentic Sky was one of my favourite stages. The sound of the wind whistling as the helicopter hovers nearby, circling the perimeter of the roof of the high rise tower. The Roman marble statues that crumble at first contact and the drum sounds that come crashing after the first round.

I like this a lot too

A part of me wants to forgive and let go.
The other part wants to wallow in pain so that I never forget
Another side wants to cut off people forever.
Can they all coexist?

Not sure if SF counts or because he was a bully to people real life. By all accounts he used to volunteer on a suicide support line but tell people to kill themselves on DXP. He also used to go hard (pause) on Don Johnson

The moment I realised he was for real was when on cam he was visibly disturbed by a parody music vid featuring two topless male celebrities. The bigotry in his eyes was unmistakeable.

Oh wow, I remember the cam days! 🤣 I don't even remember who I used to go on there with but I remember him cause he started raging at the camera because he couldn't hear a call from the suicide line. Like I'm talking red faced, veins popping and finger pointing type of mad. And yes, he was super homophobic. Like I wonder what kind of psychotic shit he would say if someone calls in because of their sexuality? 🤭

He was easily angered. Someone like him shouldn’t be in a position to be responsible for a vulnerable persons well-being

I wanna say TinyCam but I looked it up and that didn't hit. I can't remember the space, but that shit was funny.

Tinychat bro. We were there when the PS4 first dropped and you had us watching you play GTA V 😅

THAT’S what it was! I don’t remember the GTA thing, unless you mean at one point I gave my twitch out to a few for if they’d like to watch. Was outside of TC tho.

I remember CC cycling through 1million and 1 emotions on there because of how hectic it was.

Basically it was just after Black Friday and you were streaming straight from your PC I think. You somehow linked the share screen to your comp when people would usually play YouTube vids.

SF def qualifies. I heard similar sentiment from other users regarding his "energy". I didn't think it was bigotry in his eyes ( it could've been) I thought it was just his deep passion for IZOD polos shirts.

I think SF is alright

Some of his views would get him cancelled today but overall I thought he was okay after it all

He was pre looks era so people couldn’t explain it yet and they would call it bad juju or energy

But the real reason was looks

He was old old before everyone got old

So when he would cam he was taking up a spot of some young gun

There would be times he would just be there and having a conversation or try to have one

Then it would snowball into a slugfest

click to expand

I think what it was with him, is that he was militant with his views. You’re either with him if you agree or against him if you disagree. It was war. He was also a Christian and against any reason for abortions

Yes and he was old before the rest of us got old. He had a super young partner too, or so he led us to believe

The most legendary and "beloved" one? P-Angel ( I never was a fan of her abuse but a lot of psychos would thank her for excoriating them over the most intimate details of their lives.)

Honestly. P-Angel is the goat. She's the only one that I recall that would get cheered on as she tore other users apart. Other bullies didn't have that fanfare.

That’s because people here unhinged. Ditto DJ’s groupies
