I remember printing out King's chain throws off Yahoo for Tekken 2. There was no home port, so I memorized them and went to the arcade and washed everyone with just chain throws.

@@falconeshield She was given Jun's fighting style, given the name Kazama like her and Jin, then healed Jin from being Devil Jin in her ending. Important af only to be undone the next game despite in T6 them outright confirming she's Jin's cousin through narration. Shame.
dude, wtf? i didnt know justin had the legacy of being a top tekken player! its hard being good at such a difficult game, but he even beat anakin? thats wild!!!!
I had T1-T7 and both tags. People crap on og Tekken but it was beautiful when you're used to SNES. T5 was peak Tekken to me because it felt grounded like a Kung Fu movie. Same with Soul Calibur 1-3. Just the right amount of fantasy mixed in the gameplay without going too far
i had Dark Resurrection on PSP. It's maybe my most played game on a handheld, i couldn't stop playing that game and showing it off to my friends. At the time it was INSANE to have a mainline Tekken on a Handheld.
My favorite is Tekken 2. It introduced me one of my favorite characters, Jun Kazama. So happy to see her return in Tekken 8, after all these years. lol Sure, she was in the Tag games, but those are not cannon to the main story.
I’m was a big Lei Wulong player on Tekken 3 and Tag. I didn’t have time to play Tekken 4 due to university but when Tekken 5 came out, I finished school and went back into Tekken. Also, there wasn’t a really big learning curve for me playing Lei. Unfortunately, the Tekken games that came after, Lei Wulong was changed a lot and it made me miss Tekken 5 even more.
@@vangmx ahaha I see. Curiously I feel the same with several characters. From 3 to 5 I felt they're more or less the same, but I feel that Bryan and even Law somewhat changed in 6. Kudos for you being Lei player. I felt difficult using him even since T2 🤣 Zafina is interesting tho
@@AndreSamosir Yep, Lei really changed in Tekken 6 where he was more or less the same from 3-5. He even wasn’t available in Tekken 7 until Namco released him as a DLC a few years back, and was pretty much the same Lei from Tekken 6.
Tekken 5 Was The Last Tekken Game On The Good Old Ps2. I Don’T Have My Ps2 Anymore But I Still Play Dark Resurrection On My Psp. Also… Tekken 5 Was The Last Fighting Game I Played With An Old Friend Before He Died In A Car Crash. This Is Why Even Though Tekken 6 Passed Me By, There Will Always Be A Place For Tekken 5 In My Heart.
Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection is probably my favorite Tekken game of all time. I love the series and I'm excited for 8 but there's a vibe about 5 that I miss in games after it.
It's either 3 or 5 for me. 5 is essentially 3 perfected, but nothing in the Fight genre will ever blow my mind quite like jamming 3 for the first time. One big change I remember for 5 onwards was how much harder it was to consistently nail throws. They were so much more spammable in 3
Top 10 feeling on earth was discovering this intro after skipping it for years. When King does the tiger feint and the guitars kicked it I was mind blown
Best Tekken ever! It was my first one to pick up as well competitively and dropped MVC2 for this game. I actually saw Justin Wong playing this and 3rd Strike at Final Round but was too shy to ask for a autograph or a selfie. He was the reason why I played MVC2 watching his videos when they were at 360p back in the days 😂
The intro segment in Tekken 5, both the story and regular versions are easily one of the best the fighting game genre, dare I say, the entirety of the gaming medium has ever produced. Here's to hoping Bandai pulls off all the stops with the one that will be in Tekken 8's.
Tekken 5 IS the best Tekken of all time. Yes. ❤❤❤❤ This was the last “pure” Tekken game. Not to mention the fact that is included arcade perfect versions of Tekken, Tekken 2, and Tekken 3 on PS2.
The AI in this game was probably the best one I've played in a fighting game... now that they have mad money again... I believe its only a matter of time where they gonna re add that... hopefully right off the bat in 8... This Ai even used to taunt lol...
They won't add it, they have been stripping away features since dark resurrection. They realised they don't have to waste money on making good a.i or dojo modes and other features, and can just sell you dlc characters each month. Tekken 5 is just a product of it's time, it's not just namco that have gone this way, pretty much all companies have.
Tekken 5 is absolutely the best! Tekken 5/ Tekken 5 DR, Tekken 3, Tekken Tag Tournament 1 are the best imo....also Tekken 5 intro is my absolute favorite intro of all time
Tekken 5 best soundtrack, tekken 6 best single player and customization, tag tournament 2 best roster (even tho Bob is broken). We really had it good for those 3.
The Devil Within stage 2 music was awesomeness. I did love the hell out of this game until Tekken 6 came out. Scenario Campaign and all the unlockable upgrades via clothing made me invest time yo.
Tekken 5 definitely stuck with me bro. When I first played the game I couldn't let go of it. Definitely worth getting a PS2 just for this. I swear the PS2 era are the best~
Yeah, it looks crazy good, and it’s a PS2 game. Hard to believe. Tekken 7 barely looks any better and it is two generations ahead of Tekken 5. Tekken 7 had no content whatsoever too.
Agreed. I would say even goes so far as T4. First time I saw T4 (after so many hours playing T3 and TTT) was mind-blowing and I still can feel what I felt that time.
Yes!!! I’ve been playin tekken since childhood and let me tell you 5 has the balance of great fighting, stage and character design. Oh and the music ? 🔥 🔥 🔥
Bought this game upon release as a seasoned tekken gamer and missed it the most as time turned into working to pay bills, on top of feeding children X's making wife happy. Super happy this is a respected gane because i felt like it was perfect when it came out.
Wow i didnt know u actually played competitivelynin Tekken. It might have only been a short time but the fact you were able to be a threat = fighting game🐐...........🙇
Final vid for those who born in 80's or before are Godlike. "Contaaaaaaaaaaacccccccctttttt" and then they all procced to open fire, also the minigun was there. My favorite Sifi movie forever and ever. Tekken 5 looks pretty cool, i skip all those Tekkens cuz i start to play other games in PS2 like God of War, Gran Turismo, etc and stop to play FG. Also in Southamerica the hype never arrived late or never arrived at all in some cases. Cheers!!
Love this game, my first tekken and also the one i sank the most time into, i have spent 100s of hours grinding the arcade battle mode and would do it again

Muahaha I did this too. I drew circles on my school book imitating the arcade stick and practiced pressing the buttons for the chain grab.
ahahaha same here bro lmao the chain combos and chain grappling/throwing
Yes the intro is great, but what really blew my mind was when I found out it’s performed by the same guy who sang the original DuckTales theme song
Ah-woo-woo
_♪ Duck tales, Woo-hoo!♪_
This is wrinkling my brain.
I forgot about this fact
Wow! Thanks for the info. Did a quick search to confirm - Jeff Pescetto is the guy's name for anyone interested.
Never knew Justin took Tekken seriously enough to place that high at Evo 😮

I'm happy that this is my first Tekken
Yeah 3 was THE FIGHTING GAME, so I see where you're coming from
Agreed. Tekken 5 is simply the GOAT. The intro, visually one of the best, if not the best intro for that time.
Devil Within was mid, Tekken Force better
Most Tekken players would say yes. Miss playing this game
No they wouldn't.
@@rainofkhandaq6678 most long time players who did not just play 3 would say either this or 7
And even so, most of them choose this than 7

Remembered the times playing this one in the arcade.. Good times
I hope Tekken 8 goes back to intro’s like this…they use to get you so hyped to play the game
this was also my first time taking a tekken game truely serious, i had like 8+ chars at that time on tekken lord .... good but hard time s ^^

Yup. "Tekken 5" is my favourite as well.
Also, The character select theme in that game is INCREDIBLE!
Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection is probably my favorite Tekken game of all time. I love the series and I'm excited for 8 but there's a vibe about 5 that I miss in games after it.
The music, the intro, the announcer, and gameplay....this game was one of THE BEST
T5DR was the big update to T5 Vanilla. DR was definitely the most balanced and top 3 best Tekkens in my opinion next to Tekken Tag 1 and Tekken 3.
It's either 3 or 5 for me. 5 is essentially 3 perfected, but nothing in the Fight genre will ever blow my mind quite like jamming 3 for the first time. One big change I remember for 5 onwards was how much harder it was to consistently nail throws. They were so much more spammable in 3
"You never want to get touched by Bryan"
Bryan: * single tear flows down his face *
"Tekken boss is never that hard" I think Jinpachi heard you and went right into tryhard mode 😂
Top 10 feeling on earth was discovering this intro after skipping it for years.
When King does the tiger feint and the guitars kicked it I was mind blown
I TRIED TO TELL PPL: JUSTIN KNOWS HOW TO PLAY TEKKEN
I loved this one once I relearned Jin. I was use to his moveset in 3 and really didn't dive into 4. The music is so damn good as well.
Tekken 5 is also one of my favourite tekken games. I just wish devil Jin's victory was canon, he would have been bad ass with that extra power.
he could of been like a dbz level villain if not more because the boost of power would of been intense since he absorbed all of it from pachi.
Literally my favorite game of all times
Best Tekken ever! It was my first one to pick up as well competitively and dropped MVC2 for this game. I actually saw Justin Wong playing this and 3rd Strike at Final Round but was too shy to ask for a autograph or a selfie. He was the reason why I played MVC2 watching his videos when they were at 360p back in the days 😂
The good flashbacks with Tekken 5 with one of the best intros ever, specially the one of Heihachi and Kazuya battling the Jack Army in the Dojo.
Would love to see some player sets on this or any other tekken
got you, th-cam.com/video/M_4NG_QY_0s/w-d-xo.html
Ah, the nostalgia, bro! My first Tekken game and FOR ME the best of the saga. Asuka main with pride! Abraços do Brasil, Justin!
The music in this game is so much better than in 7.
The intro segment in Tekken 5, both the story and regular versions are easily one of the best the fighting game genre, dare I say, the entirety of the gaming medium has ever produced.
Here's to hoping Bandai pulls off all the stops with the one that will be in Tekken 8's.
Tekken 4 caught my attention, but tekken 5 awoke my competitive spirit
Before aggressive Tekken. That movement. I remember you were at a Tekken 5 tournament in DC a long time ago.
Aggressive Tekken is trash.
Oh man, I bought a ps2 slim and put it in my dorm back in college to play this. Fun time, Everyone in my building got into Tekken because of it.
Tekken 5 IS the best Tekken of all time. Yes. ❤❤❤❤
This was the last “pure” Tekken game. Not to mention the fact that is included arcade perfect versions of Tekken, Tekken 2, and Tekken 3 on PS2.
Tekken 3 all day - the lore, the art, the mechanics was a gaaaaaame changer
And on the top of this, Brian has a RoboCop gun,sweet😁,love Tekken 5.
The AI in this game was probably the best one I've played in a fighting game... now that they have mad money again... I believe its only a matter of time where they gonna re add that... hopefully right off the bat in 8... This Ai even used to taunt lol...
You should try Persona 4 Arena score attack mode or Injustice 1 Battle Mode: The Max. Also, Power Rangers BFTG, the ai will TOD you.
They won't add it, they have been stripping away features since dark resurrection. They realised they don't have to waste money on making good a.i or dojo modes and other features, and can just sell you dlc characters each month. Tekken 5 is just a product of it's time, it's not just namco that have gone this way, pretty much all companies have.
the Ai in this game is good cuz its consisted of ghost data of pro players
Tekken 5 is absolutely the best! Tekken 5/ Tekken 5 DR, Tekken 3, Tekken Tag Tournament 1 are the best imo....also Tekken 5 intro is my absolute favorite intro of all time
Jinpachi is one of those fighting game bosses that was purposefully designed for the player to not win against.
Lemme find out J Wong got those singing chops too!
Taken 5 Dr for ps3 is still my favorite tekken all time for me period.
So many afternoons spent playing this game..
Tekken 5 DR was also fun, I remember having so much fun playing Lili. Also Jinpachi's theme is a banger
I wanna see you take Tekken serious and do 7 and 8 when it comes out. You so damn good at fighting games, I'm about sure you wreck anyone
My favorite Tekken games so far are Tekken 3, Tag 1, Tag 2, & Tekken 5. I hope Tekken 8 will be another favorite.
Tekken 5 music sound amazing
❤️ this game 🎮, went to store to buy Gran tourism saw the opening 3x switched and bought it, Big ups from Tekken 4. Do. A Knee collab J
This was my most played fighting game for years when it dropped. The sheer content in this game was amazing at the time.
That intro. It still gets me hype
would you consider doing a Tekken fundamentals tutorial? Tekken feels so different to other fighting games
To that story: That's pretty badass, Justin.
The intro track is goated
Though I think the best Tekken is either 4 or tag 2. I will say that devil within mode is goated and my favourite thing ever
Tekken 5 best soundtrack, tekken 6 best single player and customization, tag tournament 2 best roster (even tho Bob is broken). We really had it good for those 3.
Bob was always broken even in 6, that's why i rarely main him the combos are too much for my skills tbh.
TTT & TTT2 will always have the best roster ❤
T2 and T3 has one of the best music too. I even extracted them onto audio CDs.
@JustinWong dude really said that to lower your best expectations. Glad u turn it around. #ThisIs3DNot2D #WhatsThatMean?! #LetsGetIntoTheVideo
The Devil Within stage 2 music was awesomeness. I did love the hell out of this game until Tekken 6 came out. Scenario Campaign and all the unlockable upgrades via clothing made me invest time yo.
When they said this is 3d not 2d, they probably meant do sidesteps.. but yeah I don’t do much sidesteps either 😂
Tekken 5 definitely stuck with me bro. When I first played the game I couldn't let go of it. Definitely worth getting a PS2 just for this. I swear the PS2 era are the best~
The music throughout this Tekken was great! Formless like water, Poolside and everyone loves moonlit wilderness!
And 2 and 3 too! I even extracted them to audio CDs
I'm familiar with the T5 NYC scene. Who was "the best player" that Justin was referring to?
T5 has graphically, musically and mechanically held up amazingly well.
Yeah, it looks crazy good, and it’s a PS2 game. Hard to believe. Tekken 7 barely looks any better and it is two generations ahead of Tekken 5.
Tekken 7 had no content whatsoever too.
Agreed. I would say even goes so far as T4. First time I saw T4 (after so many hours playing T3 and TTT) was mind-blowing and I still can feel what I felt that time.
I don't care what Max says about this intro lol😂... It has to be the greatest fighting game intro ever.
These graphics are so goos for the time.
still playing this game to this day i got the platinum ps2 cd and my old ps2 slim so yea love the game
It's definitely up there!
3:56 This is literally a Paul Phoenix arc
when he got brian and hit that back 1 it send the vid to an ad lol
TTT2, 5DR, and 7 are my favorites
Cranking up the music was a good move for the video, Tekken 5 OST is legendary
Tekken 5 is my personal favourite of all time too. Good call Justin!
Best modern tekken for sure. Crazy to hear that you beat anakin. You must have been good. Can't wait to see you play some tekken 7 or T8 in the future
This game introduced me to 3D Fighting games I love it and still play it. The PSP version is awesome

Max Points for the intro 😁😁😁😁😁 i thought you wouldn't! Now I'm hyped! The intro hype was 🔥.. No you shortened the intro😱
The soundtracks in this game is top tier
T2 and 3 too! I even extracted them onto audio CDs.
Wong: "Stop doing all the stances..."
Lei: "No...I don't think I will..." 🙂
Yes. Always. Did you not hear that bomb ass opening? That also chained into the story mode? The best. 🎉
For aesthetic stuff, my favorite of the series is the 6+Tag2 era. But Tekken 5 gameplay is no-nonsense, no bound or rage or cinematic supers
5 Dark Resurrection is peak
You know you're playing a good game when everyone argues about which one is better than the other.
The boss that gave us all nightmares. Jinpachi😅😅
Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection is the GOAT
at 11:33 IVE NEVER seen jinpachi do a reversal out of ALL my years of plaing this game he has never cone a counter grab on me EVER! WTH XD
Lol he ki-charged after the W 😂
I’ll never forget the cheesiness of Jinpachi in Tekken 7 🤣
I used to play this non stop but we're the same age that might be the reason
Tekken 5 is really good I love playing this game thanks Justin for sharing this
Final vid for those who born in 80's or before are Godlike.
"Contaaaaaaaaaaacccccccctttttt" and then they all procced to open fire, also the minigun was there.

Tekken 5 looks pretty cool, i skip all those Tekkens cuz i start to play other games in PS2 like God of War, Gran Turismo, etc and stop to play FG.
Also in Southamerica the hype never arrived late or never arrived at all in some cases.

I would like to try it! Should I go for ps2 or ps3?
All old Tekken to Tekken 5 ps2 tekken 6 and Tekken tag 2 ps3
