@@savbeatz870 if your looking at it from reviews online then yeah but people who actually played it and was there it was very unique and ahead of its time no console could of supported its new style and environment in a fighting game so t5 went back to basics and it paid off t4 was pretty good but not the worst
@@Elissportsandgames Well I also played Tekken 4 and it was decent and kinda above average. I preferred playing Tekken 5 simply because it was better in some regards. I wholeheartedly agree with the graphics not aging well by today's standards despite the fact I played it back in the day.
Tekken 4 was the first I played, and that game showed storytelling and cutscenes by its way. King and Yoshimitsu attracted me before I learned about how major of a character Jin Kazama really is.
@@snoozy04 It was mostly the presentation and atmosphere,the best story on paper(like a script) belongs to Tekken 2. Its the story that inspired almost all fanfics
Tekken 5 is OBJECTIVELY the best. Best intro OBVIOUSLY It had all characters 3 didnt Good gameplay The BEST CGI cutscenes and visuals You can play Tekken 1-3 on it Devil Within is actually cool and has a creepy tone to it Best character selection menu Introduced Customization Scariest Devil Jin Only game to have interludes Several modes like Time Attack etc Arguably the most epic boss Putting Tekken 4 low shows incredibly weak minded perspective,Tekken 4 was also one of the absolute best. Best story and presentation,best stages,amazing music and ofcourse the best atmosphere. The gameplay while flawed was interesting and something a bit different Tekken 7 is only good for online and relies solely on its fun and addicting gameplay,its a pretty bare bones experience. Online isnt much of a point cause its annoying regardless of winning or losing,i had an almost 60% win percentage at some point,it still sucked. The characters look plastic and everyone has the same bodytype. This game was just made for tournaments and online,its like those Transformers movies,they make money but we all know they are crap
Tekken 4 was ok. It wasn't the best. I don't mind tekken 6 and or 3 because they had so much content. Tekken tag 2 was awesome too. Tekken 4 was that it was ok. Though unique in its own but it was still just ok.
Tekken 5 has the BEST Cinematic Opening. First start with Heihachi Mishima teaming up with Kazuya Mishima against Jack robots before his son betrays him. It was shock at first when we thought Heihachi was dead, but the surprise occurred later on. Then, we see plenty of other characters’ introductions, from Raven easily slicing a Jack robot, to Asuka Kazama riding her bicycle down from buildings, Feng’s training to his betrayal, and others having their awesome moments while the BADASS song plays. All that we’ve seen feels like a mixture between a live action trailer and an anime intro. This Tekken’s intro is AMAZING😁
Legit the intro to T5 was so perfect that every subsequent intro for the later games felt short and lame in comparison. Although T8's seemed like they were going for something similar, but it was just too short. T5, T2, and T8 probably have the best openings in the series.
I love tekken 4. Best atmosphere, music etc. Loved the leveldesign too. Kinda liked the dsrker tone and thought the goofy way they took afterwards was a step back.
Glad to see Tekken 3 and 5 at spot 1 and 2 i fully agree with that, Tekken 3 and PS1 great childhood memories, and then later on Tekken 5 just felt so amazingly good still does to this day. :D
Ain't no f*ckin way you put Tekken 4 so low, i personally haven't played it, but even i know it was amazing, especially since it's the reason why Jin changed fighting style from Mishima Style Karate to Traditional Kyokushin Karate that I know and love. Bruh
OMG I Am very Happy to See your comment! I was Instantly salty from Tekken 4's low placement, then I felt Insulted when Tekken advanced placed above it (even frickin Tekken 1 as well, WTF) just cause it was a capable yet simple port. I love all these Tekken games, but 3, while great, is over hyped unnecessarily THESE days and the songs this Mojo narrator mentioned for the Tekken 5 game were probably the only really good ones! I was amazed initially with Tekken 5, and the minute I got to the second or so stage of Jin's "Devil Within" mode with the slow remix of the Tekken 4 "Kitsch"beach level song, and somehow finding that connection, I went to Gamestop or the flea market (back in 2006 era so i can't recall) purchased Tekken 4, and never really played T5 much after that. I barely played T6 or TT2 but now love the complete T7 (downloaded the entire thing with all DLC for like $15 on super sale over a year ago on PS4) since you have all the music from all the Tekken games. Sad thing about T7 is; yes it should have pulled a Super Smash Bros Ultimate with having all generational Tekken characters and, unless I still have yet to find it, the TT2 special Snoop Dog "Knocc em Down" song is absent! Ultimately Tekken 4 held me soo tight for the amazing general music selection and those interesting levels. Those who complain about the incline disparities in certain levels just have skill issues IMO with the A.I., as in multiplayer I think you can choose the good enough amount of flat surfaced ones!
That's fair. I do feel like not enough people give T5 the credit it deserves. To me, it always felt like T3 expanded upon. T3 will always be excellent, but T5 is the unsung hero of modern Tekken.
Putting Tekken 4 beneath not only Tekken advance, but T1 and T2 as well is a complete disservice to the game. It was a beast of its own. I've never gone back and played the first two games for more than a few minutes, but I can spend hours on T4.
i found tekken 6 underrated as hell !.. many ppl consider it as it's just there.. meanwhile the style, the animations, the visuals, the soundeffects, the stages, the atmospheric action that was all over the place.. all of the that was magnificent experience really.. not to mention the osts.. i mean come on : - azazel's theme - high roller club - mystical forest - city after dark - urban war zone - fallen colony - tunnel disaster - yuki's theme - Fiesta del tomate - and ofc electric fountain these are absolute bangers !.. please check these out.
Tekken 4 and Dark Resurrection are much lower than they should be. Not above 3, 5, and 7, but not lower than 6 and the Tag games. Edit: However, I do agree that Tekken 5 is the absolute best fighting game and the game that paved the way for the modern era of the genre. It could easily be the best fighting game of all time, at least until MK1 and Tekken 8 release
Agree that Tekken 5 is the best, and most other game is just right on their ranking except for 5 DR which I believe should be a lot higher and 6 should lower than 4.
There’s more than 12 games if you include ports. There’s Tekken, Tekken 2, Tekken 3, Tekken Advance, Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken 4, Tekken 5, Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Tekken 6, Tekken 6 (PSP), Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, a free-to-play version of Tekken 6 on PS3, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tekken Mobile, Tekken 7, & Tekken 8. That’s 16 games. 17 if you count the arcade version of Tekken Tag Tournament since it has way different graphics. 18 if you count Street Fighter X Tekken. 19 if you count Tekken X Street Fighter, still stuck in development.
Tekken 7 FEELS great to play mechanically and is visually stunning, but it is also where the old tekken died. No proper offline experience, lackluster customization, lots of paid DLC, boring stages and generic music.. Compared to tekken 5, this is a joke. I understand they can’t keep making huge games like 5 was, but man they could have given us _something_ more.
PLEASE do a top list of the best Tekken tracks. Some people have no idea how amazing the music from Tekken is- I literally have at least one track from EVERY game on a playlist!
The thing is that you have already all of the ps1 tekken Trilogy on cd in tekken 5 (arcade history) , plus star blade. All the character costume modification... Everything. And again, Tekken 3 is still there implemented 😊
@lilcory2000 it's a fair enough opinion dude 🙂 5 was absolutely massive but I've got a lot of nostalgia for 3 plus I love the mode at the end that was basically a scrolling beat em up lol. Those 2 are easily the top tier tekken though 👍
3,4, are the best to me. The tone of 4 Is on another level and the free all around movement worked very well, gameplay wasn't as tight as 5 but still solid. The character models in 4 looked better than 5 to me also
I like it a lot too, cool different style that chose to go with for story mode in that one while still having the king of iron fist tournament mode like the classic ones. It really worked for me.
I think Tekken 5 is the best. The game makes you play through each character to get their story and this really stopped with Tekken 5. Each path of each character was unique, the fighters they would face and the sun bosses. I really miss a Tekken game like that
I'll be honest. The story mode in Tekken 5 was awful. Because the writing is weak, character developments got ruined because a lot of them had comedic endings in their story. Especially Paul Phoenix, whos character development took a nosedive for me. The voiceover in the prologues was annoying as hell. 😂 Devin Within was trash.
I remember back in the day. One of the fighters in Tekken 3 was doing the Taekwondo red belt form (which I was learning at the time) and it was so cool to see it. Man I miss that game and glad it got so high on the list
Y’all got spicy with this list but I love it because you can tell that whatever went into the ranking that you guys definitely played the games. (Tekken 5: DR should be top 5 minimum tho)
Thanks for watching! Been playing Tekken since I was a kid, and of all the fighting franchises, its the one I will always choose over the others. I still like DOA and Street Fighter, but Tekken is king. Much love to you and yours! ❤
IMO, the best Tekken is Tag Tournament 1. Plays the same as Tekken 3, but has more characters. I hate how the entire character roster started hitting the steroids after Tekken 5. They should go back to the more classic physiques, this ain't Street Fighter.
Couldn't agree more with the top of the rostrum, mate. Tekken 5 was literally one of the elements that made my whole PS2 days alongside RE4, Samurai Warriors 2 (and Xtreme Legends), The Warriors, GTA SA, Naruto Shippuden 2, MotoGP 07 and 08, Most Wanted, Carbon, and Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition. 🤝🏼
Even though Tekken 7 is great in terms of gameplay, but I really think it doesn't deserve to be in Top 3 cause sadly it's the worst game in franchise when it comes to the lack of content.. not to mention the terrible endings, useless arcade mode & boring story. It's the first game since T3 to not include Team Battle or any other interesting modes like Tekken Force! sadly T7 only focused on the online experience.. but other than that, it was a huge disappointment for me.
Tekken Tag 2 is my favorite by far because it allowed me to incorporate my own music into the game. Fighting with your own custom soundtrack is priceless
Wait, if Tekken 5 includes Tekken 1-3... We still don't have any Tekken games on Switch! Why hasn't Bandai Namco just commissioned a port of 5 and called it a day? With Tekken 5 being four Tekken games in one, that's a good solution for filling the void. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is another they could have added. There is a Wii U port, why not just use that build? But at this point we may end up seeing Tekken Advance added to Nintendo Switch Online before a normal Tekken game comes to the eShop.
Damn making Tekken 4 number 11 is kinda of unfair, the story was good, sure it didn't have Devil or Ogre as the final boss but it was way better then tekken 6 in my opinion. Tekken 5 tho is a masterpiece!
for me it's tekken 2: nostalgia sake mostly cause its my first tekken game ever and the creepy kazuya/devil screen gave me nightmares and character had their own stage/theme song tekken 3: introduced some of the best new cast characters like ogre, bryan and eddy tekken 5: most fun and the intro itself was fire but fuck jinpachi XD tekken 4: for it's endings cause most were or felt canon how i would like most games to be. not a what if but what truly happens with the characters after. i do miss the days you had to unlock characters and not buy them :'(
9:15 what content ? tekken 7 has less content and single player modes than tekken 2,, tekken 7 is only for online play ,,, i dosen't deserve top 3,, tekken 6 ,, tag 2 and tekken 4 are better games than tekken 7
I doubt any of WatchMojo's staff or at least the people that created this list actually devoted any considerable time playing Tekken. Probably just collated some already existing lists or looked at forums or the Tekken subreddit, edited it then called it a day.
I remember when I've played Tekken 4 and 5 with our ps2 when I was a kid and now I have Tekken 7 on ps4 so my favourite Tekken games are Tekken 4 5 and 7 but im really hyped for Tekken 8 and im interested of Tekken's spin off game Devil within becajse it's 3d Tekken game. Oh and Netflix's Tekken Bloodline anime like serie is awesome too. 🔥🔥
Idk I've loved all the Tekken idk if I have a choice really... Okay fine Tekken 4! I don't know why, but I grew up playing 3 1st then 4 and so on then was able to play 1-2 when 5 was out, but something about 4 I just freaking loved and think it's my favorite.
Loved the old school Tekken games. Still remember Tekken 3 for my old PS1. It was the fighting game masterpiece at the time. Was very disappointed that it was never re-released as a PS one classic for PS3, PSP & PS Vita. I was waiting for months and months but never came out. Hopefully, it gets re-released for PS4/PS5. I'm glad Tekken 2 got a retail price a couple of weeks ago because I don't want to pay what $120 a year for premium tier so I can play retro PS games. I also remember Tekken 5, and it's one of the best fighting games ever. It was celebrating the 10th anniversary at that time, and it had arcade ports of the first 3 Tekken games. The only thing I don't like about 5 was that final boss on Arcade Story mode. Jinpachi was a tough one to fight. Stuns you and spits out fireballs out of his stomach. I definitely love Bandi/Namco to re-release Tekken 5.
Tekken 4 it's very beautiful game and it's very fun to play i know that Tekken 4 does have some disadvantage things but in the end Tekken 4 it's very fun and very beautiful game in the series and for the mechanic system it was mixed between something old and something new mechanic system gameplay in my opinion Tekken 4 deserve so much to get a remake version of this generation because Tekken 4 didn't get so much famous like Tekken 5 - Tekken 3 - Tekken 7 - Tekken 6) that's why in My opinion that Tekken 4 deserve so much to get a remake version of this generation with PS5 and Xbox series) and i don't why harada and namco they didn't release 3, Tekken game's on the original Xbox with PlayStation 2 console just imagine back in the time if harada and namco if they gave chance for the original Xbox console with PS2 at the time because if harada and namco if they released Tekken tag 1 and Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 on the original Xbox console at the time we will see all these 3 Tekken game's on original Xbox and then the original Xbox will run between 480p to 720p support upscale for these 3 Tekken game's and we will see very different graphics system on the original Xbox compared to the PlayStation 2 console
Lol you guys forgot a Tekken game. You didn't mention the free to play Tekken Revolution. I was really expecting that to be on the list and was kinda confused when it hadn't showed up by the time y'all got to 5 because I know it wasn't that good lol 🤣🤣🤣. Oh and y'all also forgot the Wii U port of Tekken Tag 2 and the PSP port of Tekken 6 almost forgot those myself. So uh y'all's list is looking a lil lacking lol do it again.
You can tell whoever wrote this terrible list only started their tekken career playing tekken 3, way too high if you're putting tekken and tkn2 so low, and it's the only one they talked about having nostalgia for.
5 is the best tekken... for you personally. Game definitely learned from tekken 4 but it was still broken and unbalanced af. Maybe for casual players it was fun, but once you or your friends learnt the broken mechanics of the S tiers, game was not fun anymore. If we take into account legacy reasons, the best tekken is tekken 3 hands down. If we are looking at balancing, the best tekken is tekken5 DR. And if you want an overall of good music, decent endings, good balancing, big roster and a lot of content, the best tekken is tekken 6.

This needs an update since Tekken 8 is now available.
For me it would be Tekken 5 and 6.
Almost all of these are great games, but my personal favourite is TTT2
4 is way too low and no one complained about it it was its own unique game
This too factual, like what??? This is my top 2 and tekken beats it. I haven’t even watched the whole vid smh
From what I’ve seen, 4 is always regarded as 1 of the worst tekken games compared to the others
@@savbeatz870 if your looking at it from reviews online then yeah but people who actually played it and was there it was very unique and ahead of its time no console could of supported its new style and environment in a fighting game so t5 went back to basics and it paid off t4 was pretty good but not the worst
It sucked idk what u be talking about
@@Elissportsandgames Well I also played Tekken 4 and it was decent and kinda above average. I preferred playing Tekken 5 simply because it was better in some regards. I wholeheartedly agree with the graphics not aging well by today's standards despite the fact I played it back in the day.
Tekken 4 was the first I played, and that game showed storytelling and cutscenes by its way. King and Yoshimitsu attracted me before I learned about how major of a character Jin Kazama really is.
def jam like gameplay, but it still has more serious plot than else
It had the best story in my opinion.
@@snoozy04 It was mostly the presentation and atmosphere,the best story on paper(like a script) belongs to Tekken 2.
Its the story that inspired almost all fanfics
have you played tekken 3?
I loved Tekken 4 and the levels! Wow. lol Jin's outfit was so cool too!
Yeah I loved tekken 4 idk what he’s talking abt
tekken 4 was a good game graphically but was extremely unbalanced in my opinion tekken 4 had the best atmosphere than all the tekkens on the ps2
Honestly everything seemed like a step down from 3. Excluding graphics of course
have you played tekken 3?
My rankings;
1.) Tekken 3
2.) Tekken 2
3.) Tekken Tag Tournament
4.) Tekken 5/Tekken Dark Resurrection
5.) Tekken 7
6.) Tekken Tag Tournament 2
7.) Tekken 4

10.) Tekken Advance
11.) Tekken 3D
Tekken 3 having Force Mode alone makes it awesome and my favorite.
Tekken 3 is still being played at local arcade here in pakistan
That sounds awesome
Tekken 5 is OBJECTIVELY the best.
Best intro OBVIOUSLY
It had all characters 3 didnt
Good gameplay
The BEST CGI cutscenes and visuals
You can play Tekken 1-3 on it
Devil Within is actually cool and has a creepy tone to it
Best character selection menu
Introduced Customization
Scariest Devil Jin
Only game to have interludes
Several modes like Time Attack etc
Arguably the most epic boss
Putting Tekken 4 low shows incredibly weak minded perspective,Tekken 4 was also one of the absolute best.
Best story and presentation,best stages,amazing music and ofcourse the best atmosphere.
The gameplay while flawed was interesting and something a bit different
Tekken 7 is only good for online and relies solely on its fun and addicting gameplay,its a pretty bare bones experience.
Online isnt much of a point cause its annoying regardless of winning or losing,i had an almost 60% win percentage at some point,it still sucked.
The characters look plastic and everyone has the same bodytype.
This game was just made for tournaments and online,its like those Transformers movies,they make money but we all know they are crap
Liked 4 intro better
Right on the money there.
Absolutely agree
Yep, exactly the same thoughts
Tekken 4 was ok. It wasn't the best. I don't mind tekken 6 and or 3 because they had so much content. Tekken tag 2 was awesome too. Tekken 4 was that it was ok. Though unique in its own but it was still just ok.

The appearance of Devil Jin in that cinematic opening always gives me chills.
Legit the intro to T5 was so perfect that every subsequent intro for the later games felt short and lame in comparison.
Although T8's seemed like they were going for something similar, but it was just too short.
T5, T2, and T8 probably have the best openings in the series.
Tekken 5 development is executed very well compared to the later games, even 8. 5 was peak Tekken.
Tekken 3 was my childhood
There will never be another tekken 5. The stages, the music, the endings, the intro and prologues, it’s peak 2000s and is still fun to this day.
There was another tekken 5. It was called “Dark Resurrection”
No, not the prologues. The prologues in Tekken 4 was better. Tekken 5 prologues were awful.
There is also another Tekken 5. Tekken 5 online for the ps3. It has the stages of 5 and DR and has updated grafics
Julia Chang went from native girl, to masked wrestler, and unexpectedly, an Internet celebrity. Wonder what she’ll be next in Tekken 8.
Only Fans model obviously

Twenty seven years later and I'm still saying TEKKEN 3 is the best. The NTSC version.
And you do you! We aren't saying its wrong to love T3 more than the others. We all like our Tekken different. :)
My favourite game of all times
Saying 3 is better than 5 is insanity,i am sorry.
Everything in 3 was just perfect imo. The menu, Characters, soundtrack, even Tekken ball was the shit lol
The thing is that you have already all of the ps1 tekken Trilogy on cd in tekken 5 (arcade history) , plus star blade. All the character costume modification... Everything.
And again, Tekken 3 is still there implemented 😊
Great list. I'd switch 3 and 5 but other than that...... the leap in literally everything from Tekken 2 to this was absolutely incredible
nah 3, not even close to 5, bro
@lilcory2000 it's a fair enough opinion dude 🙂 5 was absolutely massive but I've got a lot of nostalgia for 3 plus I love the mode at the end that was basically a scrolling beat em up lol. Those 2 are easily the top tier tekken though 👍
@chrisbirks2751 fair enough, at least you have taste unlike mojo plays. who puts Tekken 4 at 9th Place underneath Tekken 1. These people need help
Tekken 4 was a great game!
True
The guy in the video is an NPC
Yes it was and is!
I’m pissed at how high up in the list they put it. I think it’s better than 5. 5 overrated as hell
3,4, are the best to me. The tone of 4 Is on another level and the free all around movement worked very well, gameplay wasn't as tight as 5 but still solid. The character models in 4 looked better than 5 to me also
I vomited when I saw TTT and TK2 ranked lower than TTT2 and TK6. The worst games are the non-PS games, which arguably should not count.
Tekken 6 is my all time favorite game due to Scenario Campaign. It was so epic. I need that level of energy in Tekken 8
I like it a lot too, cool different style that chose to go with for story mode in that one while still having the king of iron fist tournament mode like the classic ones. It really worked for me.
Tekken 3 was the first 3d game I've played and it was at the peak in this series
T3 aged so well!
I appreciated tekken 4s tone and illustrations and story. Felt serious and dark like Tekken 2 and 3
Y’all tripping on Tekken 4 bruhhhh
have you played tekken 3?
I think Tekken 5 is the best. The game makes you play through each character to get their story and this really stopped with Tekken 5. Each path of each character was unique, the fighters they would face and the sun bosses. I really miss a Tekken game like that
I'll be honest. The story mode in Tekken 5 was awful. Because the writing is weak, character developments got ruined because a lot of them had comedic endings in their story. Especially Paul Phoenix, whos character development took a nosedive for me. The voiceover in the prologues was annoying as hell. 😂 Devin Within was trash.
I'm baffled Tekken 3 hasn't been added to PS Plus yet
True since we are Stuck with Tekken 2.
I remember back in the day. One of the fighters in Tekken 3 was doing the Taekwondo red belt form (which I was learning at the time) and it was so cool to see it. Man I miss that game and glad it got so high on the list
Yeah, Hwoarang inspired a lot of kids to do taekwondo.
Tekken 4 is so underrated. Should be swapped with Tekken 6 in the ranking.
Y’all got spicy with this list but I love it because you can tell that whatever went into the ranking that you guys definitely played the games. (Tekken 5: DR should be top 5 minimum tho)
Thanks for watching! Been playing Tekken since I was a kid, and of all the fighting franchises, its the one I will always choose over the others. I still like DOA and Street Fighter, but Tekken is king. Much love to you and yours! ❤
Tekken 5 was my favorite
IMO, the best Tekken is Tag Tournament 1. Plays the same as Tekken 3, but has more characters.
I hate how the entire character roster started hitting the steroids after Tekken 5. They should go back to the more classic physiques, this ain't Street Fighter.
I am SO Hyped for *Tekken 8,* next year in Jan. 26th, 2024!
Tekken Tag was my intro into the series
Couldn't agree more with the top of the rostrum, mate. Tekken 5 was literally one of the elements that made my whole PS2 days alongside RE4, Samurai Warriors 2 (and Xtreme Legends), The Warriors, GTA SA, Naruto Shippuden 2, MotoGP 07 and 08, Most Wanted, Carbon, and Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition. 🤝🏼
Hurt my soul to see Tekken 4 ranked as low as it was. But it’s just simply his opinion.
Tekken 4 at the bottom? Blasphemy!
Even though Tekken 7 is great in terms of gameplay, but I really think it doesn't deserve to be in Top 3 cause sadly it's the worst game in franchise when it comes to the lack of content.. not to mention the terrible endings, useless arcade mode & boring story. It's the first game since T3 to not include Team Battle or any other interesting modes like Tekken Force! sadly T7 only focused on the online experience.. but other than that, it was a huge disappointment for me.
My Personal Ranking would be (main series only)
1. Tekken 5 / Dark Resurrection
2. Tekken 3
3. Tekken 2
4. Tekken 8
5. Tekken 7
6. Tekken 6
7. Tekken 4
8. Tekken
Tekken Tag 2 is my favorite by far because it allowed me to incorporate my own music into the game. Fighting with your own custom soundtrack is priceless
TT2 also had the best customization. Down to the bottom of the heel color. I miss that...
@@poopiejuneYet only Tekken 6 allowed you to play as a barefoot Ling Xiayou. Kind of weird no future games let her fight barefoot.
Wait, if Tekken 5 includes Tekken 1-3...
We still don't have any Tekken games on Switch! Why hasn't Bandai Namco just commissioned a port of 5 and called it a day? With Tekken 5 being four Tekken games in one, that's a good solution for filling the void. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is another they could have added. There is a Wii U port, why not just use that build? But at this point we may end up seeing Tekken Advance added to Nintendo Switch Online before a normal Tekken game comes to the eShop.
I actually like this list good work MojoPlays
I was just wondering what the best Tekken games are earlier today. Great timing!
Top 3 was good but DR at number 8????
Lower than Tekken 6??? What the hell
Damn making Tekken 4 number 11 is kinda of unfair, the story was good, sure it didn't have Devil or Ogre as the final boss but it was way better then tekken 6 in my opinion. Tekken 5 tho is a masterpiece!
Tekken tag 2 is the best in ps3 and xbox 360 and my favorite 😍👍💪
Not putting Tekken 3 in a number 1 spot is a ballsy move, I respect that. Great list overall, thanks Ty.
There are 13 Tekken games and since you didn't rank Tekken Revolution its getting ranked as number 1
for me it's
tekken 2: nostalgia sake mostly cause its my first tekken game ever and the creepy kazuya/devil screen gave me nightmares and character had their own stage/theme song
tekken 3: introduced some of the best new cast characters like ogre, bryan and eddy
tekken 5: most fun and the intro itself was fire but fuck jinpachi XD
tekken 4: for it's endings cause most were or felt canon how i would like most games to be. not a what if but what truly happens with the characters after.
i do miss the days you had to unlock characters and not buy them :'(
I’ve been blessed to see all of the Tekken franchise seen all of gaming from 1980-Now
You mean 1994-now?
9:15 what content ? tekken 7 has less content and single player modes than tekken 2,, tekken 7 is only for online play ,,, i dosen't deserve top 3,, tekken 6 ,, tag 2 and tekken 4 are better games than tekken 7
I doubt any of WatchMojo's staff or at least the people that created this list actually devoted any considerable time playing Tekken. Probably just collated some already existing lists or looked at forums or the Tekken subreddit, edited it then called it a day.
And your proof?
@@spectrebull Did you? Did you actually invested time playing Tekken?
The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5!
T5 will always be the goat. Iconic soundtracks, best base characters (aside from ttt2), and gameplay
"Forgive Tekken 4's visuals"
LMAO this list is already clueless GARBAGE and it's only just over 2 minutes in. Im out already.
Tekken 4 at 11. What are you smoking bro
You forgot Tekken Evolution
TTT2 was my favorite. Hworang along with Bryan, I was a beast with em! I like Tekken 7, but I get my ass handed to me online! 😂😂
Definitely because im too old for it; i just havent enjoyed a new character since tekken 6.
T4 is my personal favorite. It’s better than people give it credit.
I remember when I've played Tekken 4 and 5 with our ps2 when I was a kid and now I have Tekken 7 on ps4 so my favourite Tekken games are Tekken 4 5 and 7 but im really hyped for Tekken 8 and im interested of Tekken's spin off game Devil within becajse it's 3d Tekken game. Oh and Netflix's Tekken Bloodline anime like serie is awesome too. 🔥🔥
My Favorite was Tekken 3 and Tekken 4. Since Tekken 5 it was always the same.
Putting dark resurrection at number 8 should be a criminal offence. That’s top tier that game
Idk I've loved all the Tekken idk if I have a choice really...
Okay fine Tekken 4! I don't know why, but I grew up playing 3 1st then 4 and so on then was able to play 1-2 when 5 was out, but something about 4 I just freaking loved and think it's my favorite.
5 hands down peak Tekken. Not even 8 better than 5. Developers just got more uncreative.
Loved the old school Tekken games. Still remember Tekken 3 for my old PS1. It was the fighting game masterpiece at the time. Was very disappointed that it was never re-released as a PS one classic for PS3, PSP & PS Vita. I was waiting for months and months but never came out. Hopefully, it gets re-released for PS4/PS5. I'm glad Tekken 2 got a retail price a couple of weeks ago because I don't want to pay what $120 a year for premium tier so I can play retro PS games. I also remember Tekken 5, and it's one of the best fighting games ever. It was celebrating the 10th anniversary at that time, and it had arcade ports of the first 3 Tekken games. The only thing I don't like about 5 was that final boss on Arcade Story mode. Jinpachi was a tough one to fight. Stuns you and spits out fireballs out of his stomach. I definitely love Bandi/Namco to re-release Tekken 5.
Agree with everything you said! Jinpachi was such BS 😂😂
Tekken 5 and its expansion DR are still amazing to this day
Tekken 4 at 11? Nah lmao
Don't even disrespect T4 like that because it's def not at the bottom
Tekken 4 it's very beautiful game and it's very fun to play i know that Tekken 4 does have some disadvantage things but in the end Tekken 4 it's very fun and very beautiful game in the series and for the mechanic system it was mixed between something old and something new mechanic system gameplay in my opinion Tekken 4 deserve so much to get a remake version of this generation because Tekken 4 didn't get so much famous like Tekken 5 - Tekken 3 - Tekken 7 - Tekken 6) that's why in My opinion that Tekken 4 deserve so much to get a remake version of this generation with PS5 and Xbox series) and i don't why harada and namco they didn't release 3, Tekken game's on the original Xbox with PlayStation 2 console just imagine back in the time if harada and namco if they gave chance for the original Xbox console with PS2 at the time because if harada and namco if they released Tekken tag 1 and Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 on the original Xbox console at the time we will see all these 3 Tekken game's on original Xbox and then the original Xbox will run between 480p to 720p support upscale for these 3 Tekken game's and we will see very different graphics system on the original Xbox compared to the PlayStation 2 console
Lol you guys forgot a Tekken game. You didn't mention the free to play Tekken Revolution. I was really expecting that to be on the list and was kinda confused when it hadn't showed up by the time y'all got to 5 because I know it wasn't that good lol 🤣🤣🤣. Oh and y'all also forgot the Wii U port of Tekken Tag 2 and the PSP port of Tekken 6 almost forgot those myself. So uh y'all's list is looking a lil lacking lol do it again.
You can tell whoever wrote this terrible list only started their tekken career playing tekken 3, way too high if you're putting tekken and tkn2 so low, and it's the only one they talked about having nostalgia for.
5 is the best tekken... for you personally. Game definitely learned from tekken 4 but it was still broken and unbalanced af. Maybe for casual players it was fun, but once you or your friends learnt the broken mechanics of the S tiers, game was not fun anymore. If we take into account legacy reasons, the best tekken is tekken 3 hands down. If we are looking at balancing, the best tekken is tekken5 DR. And if you want an overall of good music, decent endings, good balancing, big roster and a lot of content, the best tekken is tekken 6.
I agree so much with the no Christie in Tekken 7 😭.
Sadly, it seems like even Eddy won’t be in the base roster for Tekken 8.
Tekken 3,4,5 6 And Tekken Tag Are My Favorites.
Tekken 5 Is My All Time Favorite Tekken Game.
