This video made me realize 4 things: 1) Tekken truly has an incredibly diverse cast. 2) The Series soundtracks are consistently awesome. 3) The depth of this game is utterly insane 4) You made one fo the best character summaries I have ever witnessed. Incredible work! You earned a sub.
This video made me realize 4 things: 1) At first glance, you think Tekken has a truly diverse cast, however, many Tekken characters are simply worse versions of better Tekken characters. 2) Some of the Series soundtracks are better than others. 3) The depth of this game is dependent heavily upon the characters you use and the level you are playing at. For example, at the top levels of play, only around 20% of the move lists and characters are even tournament viable. 4) Arya is absolutely well informed and does his research, but the difficulty rating for each character is somewhat lacking only reflecting one part of ease of use.
The fighting game community will never have someone as passionate and hard working as you Arya. Thanks for everything you ever did for us. No one who ever criticised you loved tekken as much as you did.
This video just oozes with so much personality for each of the characters, that it makes me wanna play them all. I just *love* all the fun, cheeky, end lines of each character.
This is one of the best pieces of video game content I've ever seen. Although I think there should have been a brief clip stating that FTTAWSBFTMA = "Flying through the area with some BS from ten miles away". Other than that, 10/10.
I think Cloe is easier than him since he just does punches if you randomly press buttons while Cloe does absolute bs. Her rush attack followed by two somersault-kicks isn't blocked by the AI. You can basically spam your way to the highest rank.
Wow, for someone who isn't very invested in Tekken, this is one of the best fighting game tutorial/showcase videos ever. The whole cast which is massive, and just enough information on each character to entice someone to play any of them. Great job!
This man is so passionate and so breathtaking, he goes so deep into every character to the point that I think he is the ONLY person in the entire Tekken community that actually pronounces Eliza's name correctly lol Love you Ayra
The editing is TOP TIER. If I didn't know any better I would have thought this came from Namco directly. Thank you for all your hard work for the community. I believe your channel is a legit factor in the success of this game.
This is sooo well done. Well written, entertaining script, good insight on each character with a side of inside jokes. Tight narration. Really nicely edited. Great job putting this together.
Words for my boy Lee : eccentric, exquisite, extraordinary, exceptional, extremely, exorbitantly, exhaustingly, exemplary, exasperating, exploitable, exacerbate, execution, exacting, experience, expertise, excruciating, expressive, explosive, EXCELLENT!
Something like this really needs to make it into the game. As a beginner, or an (returning) expert wanting to get to know new characters this type of information, presentation and format is invaluable. It perfectly summarises characters in a bitesize introduction and gives the game/characters so much more depth. It would be nice to play Tekken without having to take to the internet to fill in the gaps, be it moves, character summary, strategy or combos. The potential! This is expertly done. Shame Bamco does not acknowledge. TBS will be missed.
This was one of the most exquisitely flavourful script I've ever had the chance of experiencing. This is exactly the reason why you are one of the most exceptional content creator who excels at engaging audience. (Seriously, as a writer, I feel deeply moved by the sheer amount of hardwork poured into the script)
Concise, thorough and with just the right amount of humor: this video is genuinely a masterpiece of writing. As another writer, my hat's off to you, sir
I haven't watched the whole video but I want to thank the TBS team for putting so much hard work into this guide. Congratulations on getting this ultimate guide up and running!
Haha. Love how you kept it professional and held it together by not letting your personal feelings of each character slip... ... Until lucky Chloe.. there's no masking that frustration. Great vid. Great content you've got it all 🕷️❣️
Can we take a minute to appreciate Aria’s ending quote on Devil Jin? I can’t use Mishima’s to save my life but my god did he make it sound good!! He always knows how to draw you in with his creative writing.
What I love about these moveset descriptions, is how on point they are about Tekken's characters. Kinda shows exactly what makes fighting games so special.
Clearly none of us have seen the entire video, but we all know it's a masterpiece in terms of beginner and intermediate content, so thanks for this That Blasted Salami.
This was clearly a work of passion. I've read about your struggles with certain parts of the community, but I hope you know that a lot of us appreciate the hard work you've done, Arya. Thanks for this video, it's amazing
I'm in my early 30s and I'm just learning Tekken 7 for the first time. Got this in my recommended and it was a great informative watch! Keep up the good work!
You are truly a godsend, I don't know what I'd do without you. Also, how are you able to make me want to main literally every character as you talk about them? You make them all seem so unique, and interesting to play as. I don't know if that's a compliment for you or for Tekken more, but either way, you did such an amazing job.
This was a amazing. You showed love to every character and every player out there. Thanks for all you've done for us. Remember, the detractors don't matter. We forge our own way. You and your team are artists and pioneers. See you in Tekken 8, big man.
9:32 "Despite his girth, he's a slippery little sausage" I'm gone 🤣🤣🤣 Also, completely agree with your assessment of Lydia. As a karateka, I know good and well that linearity is forever the greatest weakness of traditional karate 🥋
It’s safe to say that the time and effort put into this definitely shows, with how you guys managed to cover a roster as extensive as TEKKEN 7’s in a way that’s still really informative, but also concise enough to just give a digestible gist of the cast. The script is really engaging too, my favourite line being towards the end of Devil Jin’s segment.
absolutely incredible work! echoing the masses in saying this is like, better than official. short and easy to digest overviews are great for newcomers when it comes to choosing characters--if the games I played had things like this, I bet you anything more folks would play them
I cannot imagine how much work this project must have taken. Huge thanks to Arya and everyone else on the Blasted Salami team! I can tell how much fun was had with some of these character intros
Watched the whole video. LOVED the descriptions and character specific jokes. Thank you for putting in all the hardwork and Congratulations on getting this ultimate guide up and running! As emphasized in Lee's section - It's EXXXcellent!
Lidia mains represent! When I first tried her, I was so defensive that I am losing so many matches because I let the opponent pressure me. But once I start to utilize her rushdown/mix-up game, I started winning a lot, realizing I am playing her the wrong way after all. This is the best character overview that I have even seen for Tekken 7, so detailed and no-nonsense stuff. Well done!
Been trying to find out who I want to start to main passionately in Tekken 7 for a hot minute now. I always get excited when I see your very informative videos because they reveal *a lot* of things that I’m not aware of about certain characters and it’s just enjoyable to watch. Your hard work is not overlooked, keep ‘em coming! 🔥
Can I just say how much I appreciate that during the character showcase your have them fighting a rival or someone else that makes sense for them to be fighting
The amount of love and effort being put into this is amazing to witness ❤ Super informative, very well put together and the love for detail was highly appreciated. Such as the respective rivals and OST for the showcased character😊
I've been playing tekken since tekken 3, and love how in depth you went with each character. I keep a personal notebook on each characters difficulty, playstyle, and strengths/weaknesses so it's nice to see someone else that can point that out and deliver a solid overview of the characters. Theirs more to mention with some characters, but that would make your video another hour long lol haha 😂
As usual, TBS setting the standard for Tekken content and informative videos. I dare say channels like these do more for the community than Namco themselves
Lee's section actually missed some weaknesses. When you have cursed copy of a game like Myrow and Father you'll face a lot of inconsistency in his hitboxes. Anyway awesome video as always. It sometimes seems like how it is even possible to have such a god tier quality content.
b1,1,2 woolsplat is a nightmare and d3 interacts janky with even the slightest side step into lift leg move from some characters one day the silver boy will get his justice and be a top dog again (copium)
Was dying on laughter on the Lee section. I'm positive the whole TBS team looked up the dictionary for every word that starts with an Ex- just to troll us Lee players Edit: anyone knows the link to the mod on Violet Systems used on Bryan's section? Looks so good
Holy crap the madlads have finally done it. Havent watched the whole video yet, but expecting some high quality stuff. TBS continues to impress with their content. I bet Arya had to narrate fast to cram as much content as possible for each character. Especially when considering the complexity of Tekken characters.
We love you so much Arya. Despite all the shit you went through please don't stop making content, for us your devoted fans who will support you no matter what. Take care ❤️
Incredible job with this as always, TBS! Very informative for both beginners and experienced players alike. The Tekken community will eternally be grateful for everything you've put out.
How I've missed that voice. That smorgasbord of Bob puns was delicious, if not particularly high in nutritional value. Jokes on you, I don't play Lili and I'm into that. I joke about how it takes months for videos to come out on this channel, but between music selection, script writing/revision, gameplay capture, research, editing, etc. that goes into even little 5 minute segments, I'd be an ungrateful idiot to demand more.
This was extremely well made. I havent played much T7 since its first year on ps4 and I found myself watching the entire video. I would watch this for character main ideas to start with whenever I get back into it.
I've got friends getting into Tekken 8 and I still use this video to showcase how to narrow down which characters to play. Pleaseeeeee make a T8 version, this video was priceless to new players in our scene during 7
What a blast to watch! Since this is the last video on Tekken 7, I say you guys went out with a bang. Totally worth the wait. Congrats for this amazing work of art. It's obvious you all put your heart and soul into this. I'm eager to see where the channel goes from here. Bravo! Ps: Loved the food references in Bob's section and your hilarious emphasis on the ex syllable in Lee's 😆😆
This video just sold me on every single character of a fighting game that came out years ago and that I don't even have. Excellent and timeless job, man.
Amazing! Going to watch this tonight. Will you be making any more Tekken 4 and 5 content? I'd love to see character walk throughs for both with your modern day video production quality.
Can’t imagine the time and work you and everyone who helped out for this put in but I just wanna say this is absolutely amazing, I’m so happy that we have you in this community! Theres just one thing left I need to know.. Did Harada already hire you? 🤣
Hot damn. That overview of Dragunov feels like an intimidating force to be reckoned with (Especially the last few lines.) I'm proud siding with this character since Tek5 DR. Dragunov main forever! *Amazing overview of characters, Mr. Blasted Salami!
Nice touch with the stage music matching the characters. And of course the last song. Been over a decade and its still a banger. Want to do some clothes shopping right now.
I really like the choice of music for Eddy, Hwoarang, Jin, Law, Nina, Paul and Yoshimitsu here, listening to it along with your breakdown of these characters makes me wanna play them more, it's incredible how much personality the Tekken 3 soundtrack added not just to each character, but to Tekken as a whole.
Absolutely one of the best fg overview videos ever, especially for Tekken. It really helps me think differently about a lot of characters, as well as the general gameplay of Tekken. Production-wise, everything's great, but I really like the scripting that folds in little references to the characters. It must be tough to remember those bits when dropping so much information already.
This video really helped a lot and I’m sure everyone will agree. You pretty much summed up everything in this video not to mention the wonderful edit that went into it !! It helped a lot and thanks a bunch for the work you did :)
It will go down in history the impact your tutorials made, and the outstanding quality for teaching that Harada could only dream of putting together. Thank you so much for your efforts.
You are an amazingly entertaining writer, i was paying more attention to your wordplay than actually absorbing the info😅 This was well worth the wait, thank you!
This video is amazing, takes me back when i just started playing tekken serioysly and watches your character overview for tekken 7. This brings adrenaline and now i wanna play again!
HOLY CRAP-- YOUR LEE SEGMENT TOOK SUCH A LONG TIME TO SET UP, BUT HOLY CRAP THE PUNCHLINE LITERALLY GOT ME CHOKING WITH LAUGHTER!! kudos to your commitment, my dood- 10/10!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that you are one of the few people who actually bother to get the foreign pronounciations right. Well done. Also love all of your videos!
I actually bought the game because of this video. I’ve been enjoying it a lot even if I’m not very good at it. Noctis is my main but I’m learning Lili and Julia 😄
Thank you for so closely updating your series on Tekken 7 through the ups and downs of Bandai Namco's treatment of this game. The community loving Tekken so much is how Tekken7 survived stuff like 7 Leroys in top 8 at EVO Japan.

It’s sad to think About how much bigger the daily player base would be if all these resources were available in game

I spoke to all the four other guys that play Ganryu and we all agreed that you nailed his section.
U got me crying bro 🤣😭🤣😭
As the new 5th gan, i agree
Yeah man, if only you me saint and Tommy kill switch could play some Ganny mirrors that would be great.
Forgetting about king jae the other ganny
As the new upcoming ganryu main I shall see if this is well
It’s so sad that many people dislike ganryu. He’s pretty fun to play in 7. And strong too so newcomers to ganryu won’t have to struggle too much
This video made me realize 4 things:
1) Tekken truly has an incredibly diverse cast.
2) The Series soundtracks are consistently awesome.
3) The depth of this game is utterly insane
4) You made one fo the best character summaries I have ever witnessed.
Incredible work! You earned a sub.
That and no one should be allowed to use puns unless you're the news.
This video made me realize 4 things:
1) At first glance, you think Tekken has a truly diverse cast, however, many Tekken characters are simply worse versions of better Tekken characters.
2) Some of the Series soundtracks are better than others.
3) The depth of this game is dependent heavily upon the characters you use and the level you are playing at. For example, at the top levels of play, only around 20% of the move lists and characters are even tournament viable.
4) Arya is absolutely well informed and does his research, but the difficulty rating for each character is somewhat lacking only reflecting one part of ease of use.
The fighting game community will never have someone as passionate and hard working as you Arya. Thanks for everything you ever did for us. No one who ever criticised you loved tekken as much as you did.
Don’t forget core A Gaming

@@SalveASMR Well he features a lot more tekken content these days but yeah, hes mostly a Fighting Game guy not a Tekken guy specifically
Video editor of the year!!
i am indebted to you, Arya
This video just oozes with so much personality for each of the characters, that it makes me wanna play them all.
I just *love* all the fun, cheeky, end lines of each character.
Really can't wait till this gets recommended after 10 years... This video is part of the Tekken History Books
FOR REAL! With this much amazing production, it's IMPOSSIBLE to forget TBS's videos
Well I have to reply because this will eventually be the top comment and I need to be apart of that
Future tekken players will be so confused that, at one point, Akuma, Negan, Geese and Noctis were part of the series
I'll see you guys again in 10 years.

This is one of the best pieces of video game content I've ever seen. Although I think there should have been a brief clip stating that FTTAWSBFTMA = "Flying through the area with some BS from ten miles away". Other than that, 10/10.
Thanks for that. Was surprised how few comments were asking about that. I sure didn't know.
Thought it was just a button mashing reference, glad the original meaning is funnier than I thought. Perfect description of some Tekken characters tbh
thanks a lot for the explanation, thats sure made me wondering with that FTTAWSBFTMA, but if you dont mind giving extra explaining, what is BS?

Wow, for someone who isn't very invested in Tekken, this is one of the best fighting game tutorial/showcase videos ever. The whole cast which is massive, and just enough information on each character to entice someone to play any of them. Great job!
Same here
Just appreciate how you match each character's opponents with someone who they really fought with. The detailsssss
ah yes, the classic rival pair of Negan Smith and Noctis Lucis Caelum. truly iconic

Love you Ayra
The editing is TOP TIER. If I didn't know any better I would have thought this came from Namco directly. Thank you for all your hard work for the community. I believe your channel is a legit factor in the success of this game.
As sorry as it sounds, namco would've never been able to produce a video with so much passion and quality

Why though? Please someone explain 🥴
Okay i get it now hahahha should have kept watching
Love how you used so many of Negan's quotes to explain him. That was amazing
Something like this really needs to make it into the game.
As a beginner, or an (returning) expert wanting to get to know new characters this type of information, presentation and format is invaluable. It perfectly summarises characters in a bitesize introduction and gives the game/characters so much more depth.
It would be nice to play Tekken without having to take to the internet to fill in the gaps, be it moves, character summary, strategy or combos. The potential!
This is expertly done. Shame Bamco does not acknowledge. TBS will be missed.
True. A shirt video to introduce a character to the player would be excellent curation, helpful, fun and welcoming
Just shows how bad at making it
Thanks for the kind words, but we're not going anywhere! We just won't be a Tekken focused channel anymore.
In general fighting games are really hard to get into, and I think better training modes with stuff like this would help.
Never in my life I have seen such a wholesome videogame tutorial.
This was one of the most exquisitely flavourful script I've ever had the chance of experiencing. This is exactly the reason why you are one of the most exceptional content creator who excels at engaging audience.
(Seriously, as a writer, I feel deeply moved by the sheer amount of hardwork poured into the script)
Concise, thorough and with just the right amount of humor: this video is genuinely a masterpiece of writing. As another writer, my hat's off to you, sir
EXquisitely EXcellent!
Tremendous work, beautiful language, pristine narrating, deep research, reasonable classification. Thank you.
I haven't watched the whole video but I want to thank the TBS team for putting so much hard work into this guide. Congratulations on getting this ultimate guide up and running!
Haha. Love how you kept it professional and held it together by not letting your personal feelings of each character slip...
... Until lucky Chloe.. there's no masking that frustration. Great vid. Great content you've got it all 🕷️❣️
Can we take a minute to appreciate Aria’s ending quote on Devil Jin? I can’t use Mishima’s to save my life but my god did he make it sound good!! He always knows how to draw you in with his creative writing.
What I love about these moveset descriptions, is how on point they are about Tekken's characters. Kinda shows exactly what makes fighting games so special.
Clearly none of us have seen the entire video, but we all know it's a masterpiece in terms of beginner and intermediate content, so thanks for this That Blasted Salami.
Really this video flashed through like a breeze ,oh boy what a experience
Speake for you.Is Golden xd
i watched the entire vid :v and i can confirm, its awesome
I watched all
The best video you haven't watched yet
As a fahkhumram main I truly agree with everything you say about him, and that difficulty rating is super accurate
This was clearly a work of passion. I've read about your struggles with certain parts of the community, but I hope you know that a lot of us appreciate the hard work you've done, Arya. Thanks for this video, it's amazing
I'm in my early 30s and I'm just learning Tekken 7 for the first time. Got this in my recommended and it was a great informative watch!
Keep up the good work!
You are truly a godsend, I don't know what I'd do without you.
Also, how are you able to make me want to main literally every character as you talk about them? You make them all seem so unique, and interesting to play as. I don't know if that's a compliment for you or for Tekken more, but either way, you did such an amazing job.
This was a amazing. You showed love to every character and every player out there. Thanks for all you've done for us.
Remember, the detractors don't matter. We forge our own way. You and your team are artists and pioneers. See you in Tekken 8, big man.
Amazing video! Big thanks to entire team of That Blasted Salami! The Tekken Community wouldn't be the same without this channel 🙌🏻
This is easily the best video covering the characters, I thought the last one was well made but this is a step even further. Amazing job Salami
Dude, nobody does this quite as good as you. Thank you for everything you've done and everything you continue to do for Tekken!

Also, completely agree with your assessment of Lydia. As a karateka, I know good and well that linearity is forever the greatest weakness of traditional karate 🥋
Shotokan?
@Sara Crysis indeed. Goju Ryu has some more circular motions, but still a lot of linear ones too 🤷🏽♂️
Don’t let the analytics fool you; I’m listening to this like a podcast and Will take multiple listens to finish thoroughly! GREAT work TBS!!!
Getting into Tekken again. Haven’t played since 3 and 5 so thanks for this
Pleasure!
It’s safe to say that the time and effort put into this definitely shows, with how you guys managed to cover a roster as extensive as TEKKEN 7’s in a way that’s still really informative, but also concise enough to just give a digestible gist of the cast. The script is really engaging too, my favourite line being towards the end of Devil Jin’s segment.
The Tekken community doesn’t deserve Arya. We are blessed to have you
absolutely incredible work! echoing the masses in saying this is like, better than official. short and easy to digest overviews are great for newcomers when it comes to choosing characters--if the games I played had things like this, I bet you anything more folks would play them
I cannot imagine how much work this project must have taken. Huge thanks to Arya and everyone else on the Blasted Salami team! I can tell how much fun was had with some of these character intros
Watched the whole video. LOVED the descriptions and character specific jokes. Thank you for putting in all the hardwork and Congratulations on getting this ultimate guide up and running!
As emphasized in Lee's section - It's EXXXcellent!
Lidia mains represent! When I first tried her, I was so defensive that I am losing so many matches because I let the opponent pressure me. But once I start to utilize her rushdown/mix-up game, I started winning a lot, realizing I am playing her the wrong way after all. This is the best character overview that I have even seen for Tekken 7, so detailed and no-nonsense stuff. Well done!
IT'S FINALLY HERE! Glad to see you're back Arya!
Told you I see you everywhere lol
@@Guitar-Dog I am everywhere XD

2024 and I still stand by this comment.
Been trying to find out who I want to start to main passionately in Tekken 7 for a hot minute now. I always get excited when I see your very informative videos because they reveal *a lot* of things that I’m not aware of about certain characters and it’s just enjoyable to watch. Your hard work is not overlooked, keep ‘em coming! 🔥
This is not done overnight. I appreciate every ounce of passion you've poured to make this community more competitive.
Can I just say how much I appreciate that during the character showcase your have them fighting a rival or someone else that makes sense for them to be fighting

I've been playing tekken since tekken 3, and love how in depth you went with each character. I keep a personal notebook on each characters difficulty, playstyle, and strengths/weaknesses so it's nice to see someone else that can point that out and deliver a solid overview of the characters. Theirs more to mention with some characters, but that would make your video another hour long lol haha 😂
As usual, TBS setting the standard for Tekken content and informative videos. I dare say channels like these do more for the community than Namco themselves
Agreed
Namco provides more by giving you Tekken so you can waste more time without getting any ROI
@@jackjax7921 lol every decade or so there are marginal improvements

Holy crap the madlads have finally done it.
Havent watched the whole video yet, but expecting some high quality stuff.
TBS continues to impress with their content.
I bet Arya had to narrate fast to cram as much content as possible for each character. Especially when considering the complexity of Tekken characters.
This is beautiful man, never seen something so comprehensive, accurate and helpful. We're lucky to have you
This is a masterpiece, thank you for contributing so much my community
These are all really well made and super engaging. The Bob segment had me wheezing
What a nice way to sum up the Tekken 7 characters for the history books, especially with Tekken 8 being on its way ^^
I haven't even played a Tekken after 3. Yet I still watched those two videos here. Very nice
We love you so much Arya. Despite all the shit you went through please don't stop making content, for us your devoted fans who will support you no matter what. Take care ❤️
The care that went into this is astounding. Almost brings a tear to this old jaded nerds eye.
Incredible job with this as always, TBS! Very informative for both beginners and experienced players alike. The Tekken community will eternally be grateful for everything you've put out.
Congrats on getting more than 1 million views on the Overview video.
How I've missed that voice.
That smorgasbord of Bob puns was delicious, if not particularly high in nutritional value.
Jokes on you, I don't play Lili and I'm into that.
I joke about how it takes months for videos to come out on this channel, but between music selection, script writing/revision, gameplay capture, research, editing, etc. that goes into even little 5 minute segments, I'd be an ungrateful idiot to demand more.
This was extremely well made. I havent played much T7 since its first year on ps4 and I found myself watching the entire video. I would watch this for character main ideas to start with whenever I get back into it.
AMAZING! I wish I had better words to describe this masterpiece. Please continue to share your knowledge and passion for this game we all love!
I've got friends getting into Tekken 8 and I still use this video to showcase how to narrow down which characters to play. Pleaseeeeee make a T8 version, this video was priceless to new players in our scene during 7
Arya, I will personally see to it that you'll burn a 100 years in hell for every single one of those Bob puns.
Love your stuff, keep it up.
The production quality is through the roof! The writing, editing and information is exquisite!!
Thank you so much. I just got tekken a couple weeks ago and I’m so lost. I’m between maining Bryan, Kazuya, or sticking with my SF roots as Akuma
Welcome to the community!
The music, the narration, the editing. It's all so beautiful .
What a blast to watch! Since this is the last video on Tekken 7, I say you guys went out with a bang. Totally worth the wait. Congrats for this amazing work of art. It's obvious you all put your heart and soul into this. I'm eager to see where the channel goes from here. Bravo!
Ps: Loved the food references in Bob's section and your hilarious emphasis on the ex syllable in Lee's 😆😆
This video just sold me on every single character of a fighting game that came out years ago and that I don't even have.

Hot damn. That overview of Dragunov feels like an intimidating force to be reckoned with (Especially the last few lines.)
I'm proud siding with this character since Tek5 DR.
Dragunov main forever!
*Amazing overview of characters, Mr. Blasted Salami!
Dragunov is such a fun character to play he is my main as well. I have some videos of rank matches with Drag on my channel as well.
Nice touch with the stage music matching the characters. And of course the last song. Been over a decade and its still a banger. Want to do some clothes shopping right now.
I really like the choice of music for Eddy, Hwoarang, Jin, Law, Nina, Paul and Yoshimitsu here, listening to it along with your breakdown of these characters makes me wanna play them more, it's incredible how much personality the Tekken 3 soundtrack added not just to each character, but to Tekken as a whole.
Bro i just got into tekken and fighting games in general recently and you are basically the needed tutorial this game never had, thank you
Absolutely one of the best fg overview videos ever, especially for Tekken. It really helps me think differently about a lot of characters, as well as the general gameplay of Tekken.
Production-wise, everything's great, but I really like the scripting that folds in little references to the characters. It must be tough to remember those bits when dropping so much information already.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video really helped a lot and I’m sure everyone will agree. You pretty much summed up everything in this video not to mention the wonderful edit that went into it !! It helped a lot and thanks a bunch for the work you did :)
Congratulations with 1 million views. this is a masterpiece❤
This video has so much dedication to the fighting game genre. I just love it
