Being new to Tekken, yeah I learned a lot. Knowing about king and his story throughout the series. Mad respect for the two men who do this for children, to them, King is a hero. Awesome work.
can we all admit how much of a nice guy king 2 is, dude runs a orphanage, does charity, forgives his mentor killer, pays for his mentor brother surgery and his former enemies surgery, goes in front of the line a war to save the world, and is humble enough to give another person a chance in a rematch.
Im terrible playing as King, but King is consistently one of the hype in game characters to watch/play, and they have one of the best consistent storylines. I love the three way Rivalry between King II, Marduk and Armor King.
He was my favorite character originally when I played Tekken 1 as a kid, but little did I know I'd been playing him the wrong way all along 😂🤣🤣 been maining Kazuya since Tekken 4, but I did go back to King in Tekken 7 and got kinda good with his grapple combos, but sheesh! He is a very difficult character to learn!
Now, this is the most GOATED character of all time! I love King and his storyline in Tekken. It's truly a refreshing to take another story outside the Mishima family feud.
I was always a fan of King since the first game. I remember I was a wee lad at the local Walmart and it had a Tekken 3 machine at the entrance. I saw someone do his multi-throw chain and my mind was blown. From Tekken 1-2, I didn't even know what juggling was but when I got deep into Tekken 3 and learned about combos/juggling, it made my love for Fighting Games blossom. I'm super old now and my reaction time isn't what it used to be so I've pretty much stopped playing Fighting Games but I still love watching the story and cutscenes to them.
As added history to king is done by new Japan pro wrestling Minoru Suzuki was a motion capture for king in the OG Tekken games and the creator is fan of wrestling.
That sort of gameplay already existed for Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign as well as the Tekken Force mode in Tekken 3 and 4. Not to mention Devil Within for Tekken 5.
Hell yeah Baby Both King And armour King Are considered Sacred Treasures too the Tekken community 👑👑👑👑👑👑🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 thank you Fabian 🤘🏿🤘🏿❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
🐱 Great video with an amazing amount of lore and facts! I consider myself a Tekken fan and I had no idea that there are 2 Kings (King 1 & 2). I love the Mexican and Japanese wrestling influences on King. I look forward to more Tekken lore vids from your channel. 🥸👍
I'm always telling people how it's weird in Tekken everyone understands each other then they ask about king and I'm like yeah he's Mexican luchadore with a Jaguar mask that speaks Jaguar in Spanish what's so weird about that
@@GamerThumbTV well that would explain it 😂🤣🤣 I've sifted through your playlists about a dozen times and def would have noticed a "Tekken History" or "Untold Legends: Tekken" in there. Anyway, great video as usual, been an avid enjoyer of your content since your original RE Timeline series, keep up the good work, and thank you so much!
Guin didn't really have anything to do with King though. Tiger Mask the wrestler was inspired by a 1968 manga called Tiger Mask, which in turn inspired King. So Guin was probably inspired by the same original source, explaining the similarity between the two.
I will be honest i have played tekken aince 4 and not missed a one. I even went to see tekken blood vengeance in theaters. I absolutely hate 8 heat system. Idk why but it feels like it went from semi serious fighter to we straight anime (not a issue just not for me). I also am sick of bryan jak top 8 and rhem not buffing characters who need it. AK also not planned to be in the game really bothers me (also the fact rhey never buffed him in 7 which blew my mind (he was easily bottom 2)
Makes sense though, all these fighters copy one another and "special moves when a meter is full" are pretty much a standard now. Gives players that edge if they get beat up too hard lol.
I'm a fan of both series but yea, Tekken 8 REALLY pushed the Tekken series forward and created one of its best entries in years. Cinematic stories should be a standard in fighting games now.

@@austinskywalker92 Some of the most iconic characters in the series right there!
@@GamerThumbTV King is definitely one of them.
@GamerThumbTV As you know, King I, King II, Armor King I, and Armor King II are semi-canon.
Learned so much. The tale of the Kings made me feel a lot of emotion.
King one of my favorite character in the fighting game because he is chad and only roar. i love him man i main him for that reason
can we all admit how much of a nice guy king 2 is, dude runs a orphanage, does charity, forgives his mentor killer, pays for his mentor brother surgery and his former enemies surgery, goes in front of the line a war to save the world, and is humble enough to give another person a chance in a rematch.
And he's an impenetrable wall of muscle 💪 a jack of all trades
Yes, and all communication with growling
Im terrible playing as King, but King is consistently one of the hype in game characters to watch/play, and they have one of the best consistent storylines. I love the three way Rivalry between King II, Marduk and Armor King.
I'm not great with King either, but if you know how to use him he's a monster.
The rock Would be perfect For The roll of King
He was my favorite character originally when I played Tekken 1 as a kid, but little did I know I'd been playing him the wrong way all along 😂🤣🤣 been maining Kazuya since Tekken 4, but I did go back to King in Tekken 7 and got kinda good with his grapple combos, but sheesh!

@@GamerThumbTV Lil Majin would approve this message ❤
Very appropriate considering pro wrestling is designed for crowd appeal
Now, this is the most GOATED character of all time! I love King and his storyline in Tekken. It's truly a refreshing to take another story outside the Mishima family feud.
King and Armor King needs more screentime besides the Mishima's
maybe its the edible but king's tekken 2 ending was really truly heartwarming. cuz he's A DA. KING!!!!!
I'm surprised it didn't end with "that's the story of the kings of the Iron fist tournement"
27:53 no cap, still one of the greatest character endings of all time.
Always fun watching King slam opponents into the ground.
So looking forward to more Tekken history videos.
Awesome, before Jin, King was my favorite character.
Visually he's one of the coolest Tekken fighters.
King is my favorite character in Tekken, this was amazing! Can't wait for the next of this series (and the Megaman timeline as well :D)

Tekken 3 is the one that brought in a lot of fans including myself. 1 and 2 were successful but 3 is where the series really exploded in popularity.
So King is basically like the scorpion of Tekken
Also one of the characters that's been in every single entry.
GamerThumb is top tier TH-cam content. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you for that.
Awesome work, my man!
I'm looking forward to more videos like these.
As added history to king is done by new Japan pro wrestling Minoru Suzuki was a motion capture for king in the OG Tekken games and the creator is fan of wrestling.
Awesome! Can't wait for more in this series!
Your work speaks for itself everytime keep em coming
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed.
Another great video, Fabian!
As a King main to this day, since Tekken 1 & 2 in 1997, this Untold Legends entry made me very happy.
🐆
Thanks for checking it out, glad it received your stamp of approval!
Wait.. Tekken 8 briefly became a Musou game during the story... Hell yeah!!!
That was one of the best portions of the game, simply awesome.
@@GamerThumbTV I love it!
That sort of gameplay already existed for Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign as well as the Tekken Force mode in Tekken 3 and 4.
Not to mention Devil Within for Tekken 5.
@@crimcrusader8459 Did not know that. Not much in the Tekken scene. That is awesome regardless
Grade A content as per usual 🥰 still waiting for some killer instinct videos tho 😂
Those will be coming!
@@GamerThumbTV🫡
Can't wait for part two
Hulk hogans head didn't even touch
King is my favorite character:) great video
always excited to see fighting game content here
I've only played tekken 2 and 3 but I like the lore of the games
The Tekken lore is a huge appeal of the series for me.
Hell yeah Baby Both King And armour King Are considered Sacred Treasures too the Tekken community 👑👑👑👑👑👑🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 thank you Fabian 🤘🏿🤘🏿❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Love love love this. Love the us if the best song in the series, Tekken tag opening
good stuff bro

Much more coming! And there's 4 if you wanna count Armor King 1 and 2 also.
Tekken well Diversity everyone can understand jaguar noise.
If we ever saw King II without his jaguar mask, he could have his Mexican-Spanish voice provided by Jesus "Alex" Mendoza.
Only time we've really seen a King face in game is the intro to Tekken 1 real quick.
Pity that I would have prefered for Kings I and II to actually speak for once.
If you're taking suggestions... Yoshimitsu
For History of Tekken or Soul Caliber ?
@@WhiteDarkness3113 I think... Yes?
I'm always telling people how it's weird in Tekken everyone understands each other then they ask about king and I'm like yeah he's Mexican luchadore with a Jaguar mask that speaks Jaguar in Spanish what's so weird about that
No stranger than anything else the series does lol
They story will continue once Armor King 2 and marduk join tekken 8
They're of the best characters.
WHAAAAAA--
You make Tekken content??? Dude, I watch the crap out of your RE, Metroid and Castlevania videos, can't believe I missed your Tekken ones!
To be fair this is the first Tekken video but it surely won't be the last
@@GamerThumbTV well that would explain it 😂🤣🤣 I've sifted through your playlists about a dozen times and def would have noticed a "Tekken History" or "Untold Legends: Tekken" in there.
Anyway, great video as usual, been an avid enjoyer of your content since your original RE Timeline series, keep up the good work, and thank you so much!
Do one with Mishima family three generations
King didn’t retire he got killed by ogar.
Idol king!
am gonna say armour King had Lung cancer
Yiu did miss his third inspiration Guinn from the novel Guinn Saga
Guin didn't really have anything to do with King though. Tiger Mask the wrestler was inspired by a 1968 manga called Tiger Mask, which in turn inspired King. So Guin was probably inspired by the same original source, explaining the similarity between the two.
Will you ever do a street fighter history one day?
Do kuma next 😂
The History of The Tekken Animals!
@@GamerThumbTV thats 1 thing i loved bout tk when i was younger u could fight with animals lol
LETS GO KING!!!!!!
PARA MEXICO!!!!!

Man teekan 8 Is more better than street fighter 6 cause street fighter 6 has no story while teekan 8 has a story
Street Fighter 6 does have a story and I cant tell you if your serious or not on your claim. Because Tekkan is spelled wrong.
I'm a fan of both series but yea, Tekken 8 REALLY pushed the Tekken series forward and created one of its best entries in years. Cinematic stories should be a standard in fighting games now.
@@GamerThumbTV yuppers
More better lul
When are you releasing more resident evil? WE WANT RESIDENT EVIL CONTENT
For me, I will NEVER understand these guys
They growl instead of talking actual words LOL
That's their language, the language of Beast lol
@@GamerThumbTV then how do they make that sound? I’m so curious LOL
