We hit the like goal so here's part 2: th-cam.com/video/ZpZBhl4lYSY/w-d-xo.html 👀 Expect Granblue Fantasy Verus Risisng & Guilty Gear soon too!
If you want to know the lore check out the insane lore of tekken by clementj64
I lowkey want to see your reactions on the King of Fighters XV (15) character trailers, a large selection of fighters from base roster to bosses to DLCs, you're bound to find some you'll like
I really enjoy the video, if you want to know the tekken lore there a video called " the insane lore of tekken " by clementj64, its long but the guy made all the research for it ( also there a video called " tekken dont make a lick of sense " by ari that have some little details about yoshimitsu and other things )
@@skeleboi7699 I literally bought this game on Steam last week to react to Supers & try out! Hahaha, So definitely expect to see it 🫡
There are a few more Tekken 8 character trailers that are left to come, and there are also a couple of Tekken 8 story trailers to watch that might give a little bit of an idea of what to expect in the story of tekken 8.
In Tekken, every character speaks their native language, but also understand what each other are saying lol.
In videogame standards it's completely normal. :'D
They’re just reading each others subtitles ig
yeah a lot can happen when there is 3 DIMENSIONS fam haha
Why do all characters speak different languages, yet they perfectly understand each other? It's because all characters use Samsung galaxy s24 ultra A.I features for real time translation during conversations😂😂😂😂 That's a verbal gangbang so to speak 🎉
I like to think studying languages is just a normal part of martial arts in this world, there's like a 99% chance you'll end up on a secret mission with a bulgarian cheesemonger who knows taekwondo or something so might as well be prepared
Bro really saw someone doing ballet and thought "french martial arts" 😅
Did you miss the context? It’s because two characters in two different fighting games have the same skillset, so it made me wonder if there was one I don’t know about 😂
you know what? yeah it is. lmao
@@ChocolateKieran I know, i just thought it was funny 😆
But it's not wrong
But Lili came earlier than Manon 😂
Here's an update on everything you were either confused or asking about.
Raven is a ninja using Ninjutsu.
Very different from Claudio's Magic which is used to literally exercise demons.
Leroy didn't teach Martial Law. They are their own characters fighting with thier own styles.
Raven is under Victor. Victor is the leader of Raven's unit. He uses the highest technological advancements of Humanity to fight. While Raven relies on Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
Reina is Heihachi's Daughter A.K.A Kazuya's and Lar's Sister.
Until the story confims anything, Leo and Azucena do not know each other. Just a cute interaction. And the last attack is a shoulder attack (but granted... it's still wack 😂).
Even though Hworang does Taekwondo, the martial art in English is roughly translated to Foot and Fist. They throw punches too, just known for more flashy kicks.
Even though Youshimitsu is called "Space Ninja" it's a meme (just like Leroy being called Grandmaster of Drip). He's not from space at all (at least shown so far canonically). He's been in the game since the 1st and has been a staple since. Long story short, he's a ninja/swordsman who wields a cursed sword under the same name Youshimitsu. He's comes from this group called the Majin clan, and he's the Robin hood of the game (steal from rich, give to poor). As time has gone on, his costume design gets wilder. But nothing confirms he's actually from space.
Shaheen isn't related to Claudio in any way. He's Arabic.
Very good comment, but I don't know if I would go as far as saying Yoshimitsu is NOT from space. Just because he resides on planet earth and has humanoid proportions doesn't mean he cannot be an alien. After all, he does have a very strange, unearthly voice. And that's just the start of Yoshimitsu's strangeness. His appearance is always changing too.
It's kinda like Clark Kent being a Kryptonian but also considered very much an American, if you get what I mean?
Also Feng Wei is on like a journey to fight every marital arts master and beat them to become the strongest and he beat Marshall Law and Paul Phoenix both at the same time and when it was time to fight Leroy he got his ass beat so now he is back for revenge 😂
@@MartinKusimoHe's just somewhat possessed by the evil sword that is also called Yoshimitsu, also he can helicopter because his arm is a prosthetic.
I think the Leroy teaching marshal came from ip man teaching Bruce Lee but yeah in game they're separate characters
I heard the Hwoarang dialogue was a mistranslation and apparently in Korean they translated the word for like hits or attacks to "punches". Also Leo and Azu do know each other, or I guess will know each other. They interacted in the story trailer a bit so they will meet or have met
cool fact about dragunov's fighting style, it is based on a russian military principle if i'm not wrong. it's:"a dead man is one man gone, but a wounded man needs two more to carry him back."
its russian sambo also
@@Shiryuu93 it's krav maga
@@unknownymous-lo6nn just google dragunov fighting style dude, its commando sambo. if you dont know it just dont talk.
It’s called Sambo doesn’t specify which one as I know there are at least two types. Sport Sambo and Combat Sambo. I’m assuming it’s the latter though.
@@monksters1 its specified, Commando Sambo its called.
This is why Tekken is my favorite Fighting game franchise. The passion behind each game and the fun quirks about the series, like the family feud of the Mishimas and every character speaking there native language, just puts it on top for me. Cant wait to get Tekken 8!
You are completely on point btw, almost all of Kazuya’s family has beef with each other, it’s pretty hilarious. Heihachi would yeet Kazuya off of a cliff for fun, and Heihachi’s own wife hired AKUMA FROM STREET FIGHTER to try and murder him in T7 😂
So as someone in your chat said: Steve's kick buttons are not actually kicks, just bobbing and weaving which lead to more moves. Half his moveset consists of ways to follow up a dodge, which makes him great at counterhits and poking. I think the only 'kick' move he has is a short-hop footstomp.
In the right hands, he's absolutely terrifying because he just dances around you before destroying you with a flurry of punches.
He used to have a hop kick I think when it was universal or maybe I’m wrong
He has a couple other kicks but they are intentionally so bad that you are trolling if you use them.
The announcer is actually Lenne Hardt... She's a legendary announcer in the circles of MMA and it's so cool that she does the announcing for tekken now... It's always awesome to see real life martial arts culture being represented in tekken even with all the fantastical stuff in it
Wasn't she voicing Anna Williams in tekken 5
@@thomaszloi9444 wow it actually is
It's actually so refreshing seeing a non tekken player reacting to tekken 8 not knkwing basically anything. There were plenty of references to gameplay and lore you missed obviously but honestly it's just really cool that people can have fun playing or watching tekken like this. Would love more tekken content too keep up the good work ❤
I came to the comments to say all this but at the bottom of my heart it has been already said
Broooo this video was mad wholesome for me. Seeing someone discover the magic (and madness) of Tekken for the first time really made me happy and reminded me of what fighting games are all about
I appreciate that a lot, glad you had a good time with it 😁 part 2 coming next week!
I recommend ClementJ64's video called "The Insane Lore of Tekken", it's a good recap of all the lore from tekken 1-7. Also you don't need to press anything to do a standing block, if you don't press anything you're automatically doing a standing block. Also panda is a playable character but panda and kuma have identical gameplay. Nice reactions 🙂
Sure in Tekken 8 they give Panda some of Xiaoyu moves.
Also Kuma gets some Heihachi moves
THANK YOU! ClementJ64's Tekken lore video deserves more attention. Tekken lore is extensive beyond the Mishima plot and I'm glad his video shines a light on nearly everything
also 99% sure asuka and jin arent related.
@@prancinfairy i think they're cousins or something of the sort
Reina is once again heihachi's daughter. when she say "you should find out soon" in the trailer she did heihachi, kazuya, and devil jin signature Electric Wind God Fist move
So it’s pretty much confirmed then? Thats interesting
@@ChocolateKieran That's the current theory. If she is Heihachi's daughter, she would be Lars' and Kazuya's sister, and Jin's aunt.
It's kinda confirmed since she she shares a lot of moves with Heihachi, and the stage where they fight is called Secluded Training Temple (with Mishima symbols everywhere)
Dude, Heihachi has some serious wives problems to talk about.
Kazuya's mom is Kazumi.
Who's Lars's mom???
Lee is his adopted son
So who's is Reina's mom, lol
@@AlgaInventory Harada confirmed in a tweet Heihachi has 20+ children all around the globe. No one said anything about wives either lol. Kazumi was his one and only true love, and he did truly love her. After she died (by his hands) is when he became a heartless tyrant hellbent on world domination. So any woman he slept with after her was purely to create more heirs and to spread his legacy. Love and/or marriage never came into the picture. He probably didn't know the name of Lars or Reina's mothers either.
Yoshimitsu is actually a normal human who uses ninja arts (a weird one, but still it), and he is Bryan Fury's rival since he slaughtered Yoshi's clan just for the lulz.
About Bryan, he was a corrupt cop before, partner of Lei Wulong (another legacy character). He eventually became a cyborg and went on a killing spree, just doing havoc everywhere. His fighting style it would be kickboxing.
Dragunov is a Spetnaz agent, who in Tekken 8 is on vacation s, rival of Victor and Raven (same organization) and his fighting style is Sambo.
Panda is a separate character and is Xiaoyu's pet, while Kuma is Heihachi's pet and mastered more his owner martial arts, Mishima Karate.
Paul is from US and is someone kinda a walking gag in the game, but still very powerful character who managed to fight evenly against Kazuya once, also managed to defeat the first form of a brutal creature called Ogre in the Third Tekken game. He's close friends with Law and also with Steve. His style is Judo and some sort of Karate.
About Steve, was conceived while Nina was in cryogenization (she has 50 at least but her appearance is much younger due to the preservation) using her. She's a hired assassin along with her sister Anna, but both of them are enemies. In Tekken 8, Steve is depressed due to finding his mother but she rejected him so he is kinda lost and started to retrain himself. His style is boxing, of course.
A fun fact about Kazuya:
He has a hobby of collecting sneakers 😂
The reason as to why Reina called Jin her senpai despite being Heihachi's daughter is due to the order at which they learned from Heihachi. Jin was taught first or in this case, an earlier disciple of the Mishima style.
She just be sarcastic with that voice change back to her normal.
They also went to the same school, before Jin dropped out. I think that's the more plausible reason as to why she calls him senpai.
Senpai can also be used in a mocking way when you don't like the person you're calling senpai. It's like you're belittling them.
@@Emuruh.Not at all
They went to the same school, as far as we know Reina is still there, therefore Jin went first, making him her senpai. Very common in Japan to call a senior to your school or college "Senpai".
In case you didn't know, Akuma was in Tekken 7
Yeah I did hear he was in a Tekken game! Kinda dope
@@ChocolateKieran not as a guest character too, he was literally in the story
You should react to Tekken 1 - 6's as well as Tekken tag 1 & Tekken tag 2's endings. They all range from awesome to straight up Ridiculous. That way you can just play tekken 7's story mode without experiencing some of the most infamously busted bosses in tekken history. 😂
It would also be a easy way to help you get more knowledge on the characters.
reina is speculated to one of heihachi's many illegitimate children,they have a very similar move set and there are many hints at it
Heihachi was getting freaky when he was alive
on god he was@@Serph..
@@Serph.. It can be said that Heihachi had h0es in different area codes. He was slangin' it everywhere. XD
I love how every super-move is a straight-up Domain Expansion
I see it 😂
This has got to be one of the best Tekken 8 reaction videos I've seen. Its always great to see people who are unfamiliar with the series see characters like Yoshimitsu and Kuma.
Genuinely enjoyed this man. Love some of the hot takes on character relationships and story plot. Really hope theres a part 2 for the few character trailers that have not yet been released.
I appreciate that, thank you! Don’t worry there Will definitely be a part 2 ☺️
36:33 "What in the Duck Tales just happened" has to be the most pertinent comment I've heard about that trailer xD
I'm glad you see it too 😂
Fun Fact :
Tekken has featured playable dinosaurs and kangaroos in the past.
The way the announcer says the character's names is so good!
There’s actually 4 characters who haven’t gotten their trailers yet, they are: Panda, Zafina, Devil Jin, Alisha
Paul didn't actually win Tekken 3. He beat the final boss, Ogre, then gapped it out of there. Then Ogre turned into his final form, True Ogre, whom Jin defeated. Canonically Jin won Tekken 3, and Paul is known as the guy who almost won. Great video too bro hope to see you play some Tekken sometime.
“is this whole family just beefing with each other”, tekken lore summed up pretty quickly 💀
Yoshimitsu is Namco's unofficial fighting game mascot, appearing in both of the company's main fighting games, Tekken and Soul Calibur, sense the beginning.
He is technically considered two different characters between both games, but with a very similar move set with the only noticeable difference being Tekken is left-handed while Soul Calibur is right-handed.
He is also known for his notoriously difficult to master move set that has a large number of attacks that deal self damage if done with an incorrect input, making button mashing players KO themselves more often than not.
Heihachi was in Soul Calibur as well if im not wrong
@Madheim777
Only on the Playstation copy of Soul Calibur 2 as a guest character.
Game Cube had Link ( Legend of Zelda ) while Xbox had Spawn ( comic book character )
The timestop is the new mechanic called Heat. When they activate by itself or by using a move that puts them into heat called a Heat engager it does that. Essentially put them into a hyper aggressive state where they get access to moves and properties to moves exclusively to when they are in Heat. Also Lars is a Tekken original character introduced in Tekken 6. bandai put him as a guest character in that storm game.
Adding on. Tekken is a four button 3d fighter but combinations of those buttons lead to more moves and adding directional inputs. Each character has at least close to a hundred moves that includes strings, pokes, launchers, throws. the 3d aspect is that you and your opponent can take full advantage of the entire stage to move around, dodge and fight in.
You should check out the demo, let's you play as either Paul, Nina, Kazuya or Jin. Gives access to super ghost battles which are AI versions of the developers and some of them are actually pretty strong. Gives you a feel for the combat and is pretty content packed for a demo honestly
I'd like to break a little bit of the Mishima stuff down for you.
The King of Iron Fist tournament started as a way a bunch of people could wrestle control over the Mishima Zaibatsu, which is the largest corporation in the world. Control the Zaibatsu, and you basically control the world.
- Jinpachi Mishima is the founder of the Zaibatsu as well as the main antagonist of Tekken 5.
- Heihachi is Jinpachi's son. He married a woman named Kazumi and she gave birth to Kazuya, but Heihachi found out that she possessed a power called the Devil Gene which basically made her evil. She tried to kill Heihachi and Kazuya but Heihachi killed her in self defense. He then proceeded to throw Kazuya off of a cliff to see if he had the same power as his mother. If he survived the fall, Heihachi would've been proven correct, and Kazuya did indeed survived the fall. Kazuya did know the reason behind any of this (until Tekken 7) and swore revenge against his father.
- Kazuya meets Jun Kazama in Tekken 2 and they give birth to Jin Kazama. Years later in Tekken 3, Jin shows up to the King of iron Fist tournament with the goal to avenge his mother who disappeared when he was young. Heihachi ended up betraying Jin and he as well as Kazuya and Jin all came to hate/dislike each other over the course of Tekken 3 to Tekken 5.
- In Tekken 6, Jin gains control over the Mishima Zaibatsu and starts World War 3 in order to bring out the creator of the Devil Gene, Azazel, so he can kill him and put an end to the Devil Gene permanently. This plan doesn't work and Jin ends up missing.
- In Tekken 7, Heihachi returns to take control over the Mishima Zaibatsu while Kazuya acts as the head of a rival company, G-Corporation. In this story, through the interference of Akuma (yes, Akuma from Street Fighter), Kazuya finds out the truth about how his mom wanted him dead and decided to finally put Heihachi down for good, and he does exactly that. Jin returns at the end of the story to put Kazuya down for good and that's how we lead into Tekken 8, where the main conflict of the story revolves around Jin trying to defeat Kazuya.
This isn't the 100% full story but it's the gist of it. Apologies to any die hard Tekken fans for missing out on any super important details!
U missed the most important part about the lore and it's about the mishimas.....
..... And their male balding pattern
To be fair, 1 inch punch is a wing chun thing that Bruce Lee adopted.
Just to clarify on some points:
1. That special move at the end is called a rage art, when the health bar gets low enough, the fighter will go into rage mode, boosting attack power, but also enabling the fighter to use their rage art once, consuming the rage mode.
2. In tekken 8 they introduced the heat system, which can allow the player to connect more combos and use a smash to gain an advantage, but this is temporary.
3. Kazuya possesses the devil gene, a genetic mutation passed down to him by his mother, and also passed down to his son, jin kazama. Originally though, after kazuya was thrown off a cliff as a child by his father, heihachi, he made a deal with the devil. In tekken 7 however they retconned this and changed the devil gene into a genetic mutation.
4. One person in the chat said that canonically paul was the winner of tekken 3, which isnt right. Although paul defeated the final boss ogre, he left straight after. But ogre transformed into true ogre and the tournament carried on. Jin later defeated true ogre. So paul didnt actually win the tournament.
5. All the tournaments have pretty much been used to lure in some of the mishima family members, or just for the mishimas to gain more power. T1, heihachi just wants a challenge, T2, kazuya just wants to show off his power, T3, heihachi wants more power, T4, heihachi wants more power by luring his son and grandson into the tournament, T5, jinpachi just wanted to be put out of his misery, T6 and T7s tournaments werent really relevant to the plot at all
6. King is a wrestler, although this is actually King II, as the first one was killed by ogre before tekken 3 started. This king was an orphan that was in King I’s orphanage. And yes, everyone can understand his jaguar growls.
7. Lars is also part of the mishima family, but is an illegitimate child of heihachi, making him kazuyas half brother and jins half uncle.
8. The robot is called jack. He was originally a weapon created by the mishima zaibatsu, but the person who created jack took her designs to g corporation. This jack is called Jack-8. There was gun jack in tekken 3, and prototype jack as well, but you get the gist of jack already.
9. Jun was presumed dead after her home was attacked by ogre, but only because jin thought she was dead. The creator confirmed she was just missing.
10. Ling xiayou is a friend of jins, they met in mishima high tech (smth like that) school.
11. Leroy was introduced as a dlc character in T7, but was also in the anime series tekken bloodline, which is set around tekken 3s story, though not fully lore accurate.
12. Asuka is a relative of the other kazamas, but the creator confirmed that she and jin are not cousins, and its more complicated than we think
13. Hwoarang is a character from tekken 3, and is jins rival. His name is also taken from the red belt pattern of taekwondo
14. Bryan is a cyborg who had a lust for destruction. He was a corrupt cop in hong kong i think but was eventually killed, but was later made into a cyborg by dr abel. He was abandoned by abel and was dying in tekken 4. He was given a new component which made him stronger, and allowed him to be as crazy as he wanted. Yoshimitsu hunts him down because bryan hurt a lot of his manji clan followers and the doctor that saved him.
15. Some characters in tekken 8 have special interactions with each other before a fight, like jin and hwoarang, bryan and paul etc.
16. Claudio was introduced in tekken 7. He is italian, and his magic power you see is because he is an exorcist
17. Marshall law is an amercian, his whole fighting style is just based on bruce lee
18. Reina is also an illegitimate child of heihachi, also making her a mishima. This would make her lars and kazuyas half sister.
19. Leo is not actually a male. Leos full name is eleonora “leo”klissen. Although the creator has said leo is a gender neutral character, many people just stick with was leo was born as, which is a female.
20. Yoshimitsu drastically changed every tekken game, hes an og character as well. His sword is also called yoshimitsu.
21. Kuma is heihachis adopted pet grizzly bear. Just like king, this is Kuma II as the original kuma died, and another bear cub was taken in by heihachi.
22. The announcer of every gameplay trailer is voiced by a woman. Best voice announcer ever. Unfortunately she only does the trailers, not the actual voice over in the game.
You have some good culture on Taekwondo 💪💪
@@Madheim777 thank you! I used to do taekwondo years ago
@@louieniall6890 nice! ITF or WT? I'm actually red belt in ITF XD
@@Madheim777 just ITF. Made it to first dan black belt, think that was like 5 years ago now
@@louieniall6890 cool, its a shame you didn't continue, it's a great discipline.
TL;DR :
Jinpachi is Heihachis father
Heihachi is Kazuyas father
Kazuya is Jin father
Jun is Jins mother
Jun and Kazuya hooked up once
Ogre "killed" Jun and she went missing for X years
Asuka is Jins and Juns relative. Not cousin.
Paul and Law are kinda bff
Feng is Laws and Leroys rival
Xiaoyu has a crush on Jin
Nina is an assassin for hire i think atm
Nina is Steves mother
Lars is Heihachis son
Reina is thought to be Heihachis daughter
Kuma is the inly rhing Heihachi loved besides Kazumi who is Kazuyas mother
Viktor is Ravens masters master
Jins rival is Hwoarang (or so the korean thinks)
Devil Jin is just Jin that has been taken hold of the devil gene (IMO perfected Jin)
Lars wants to bang Alisa (A robot)
Asuka and Lili are rivals
Zafina has the power of THE original devil named Azazel
Panda is Lings pet that Kuma loves
Jack 8 is a robot made by G-corp (the one Kazuya controls
Viktor works for the UN and is rhe founder of the Raven force
These are the "most important" bits of off 30 years of lore that is in these trailers
The reason why Lilly's style is similar to Manon's is because both move lists uses Ballet as inspiration. Lilly is the OG tho, she's been a char since T5 DR
Welcome to Tekken bro, here we have the most wonderful family in game history :)
Thank you 🙏🏾
Reina seems to be another one of the many illegitimate Heihachi's children. Besides yes, it would be nice if you reacted to other T8 content now that it's soon to be released, plus you still don't know much of the lore yet!
Seems like bro was just popping them out 😭
@@ChocolateKieran according to Tekken's main director, Heihachi have like 15 bastard kids around the world.
Wasn't It 18 to 21 bastard children?@@Talessaga2
@@friskycalibri2293 probably. I didn't recall the exact number
I would suggest a complete tekken lore video or the Mishima lore so you get the full picture of story, keep in mind that Tekken 8 demo has a summery in it less detailed but very good in the story section of the Demo
Yoshimitsu is actually the cursed blade Yoshimitsu all the way from soul caliber times to tekan times and the leader of his group takes on the cursed sword and mantle of Yoshimitsu so i think he might not even be the first yoshi from Tekken and hes actually probably at least the 3-4 forth playable one across soul edge/soul caliber and Tekken Yoshi usually plays high risk high rewards so he's to inconsistent at the high tier it still doesn't stop 1 or 2 of the best Yoshi specialists from placing top 16 top 8 he kinda the character that has all the answers but you gotta remember which answer goes to which situation in real time to be effective and cause theres 100s to thousands of questions you might see you might just guess the wrong answer
SOUL CALIBER!!!! I played 4 back on 360 so maybe that's why it felt familiar 😂 thank you!
14:52 "This guys just a Jojo character"
I'm just going to patiently wait for Claudio.
There are a few more Tekken 8 character trailers that are left to come, some of which are very unique and interesting characters with outlandish personalities/fighting styles, so I’d look forward to you reacting to them when the time comes (Lee Chaolon is my favourite but I’m sure the Alisa trailer whenever it comes out will surprise you lol)
There are also a couple of Tekken 8 story trailers to watch that might give a little bit of an idea of what to expect in the story of tekken 8.
I didn't see anyone answer this in the comments. So traditionally Tekken is a 4 button fighter. 1,2,3,4
Left arm,Right arm,Left Leg and Right Leg.
Yees! I was waiting for this. Tekken 8 character trailers and even tekken 8 trailer itself is so dope.
I haven't played tekken since tekken 3. Happy to try out this one when it comes. It looks really good.
Btw, my favorite and main character has always been king 😎
King is based on a Japanese Wrestler called "Tiger Mask"
Trivia:
The late Great Eddie Guerrero wore the Tiger Mask persona when he was in Japan
Is King mexican in Tekken?
@@samvel_mmiii King and Armor King are Mexican, yes.
Heihachi has 19-25 illegitimate children. So far we only know of Reina, Lars, Kazuya and Steve (I think) and the only grandchild he has is Jin. Canonically the only children we know he cares about is the bear and the panda that he trained how to fight.
Imagine introducing him to King of Fighters with XV's character trailers.
I actually bought the game in the steam sale to read to! Should I react by checking out every super or by watching the character trailers?
@@ChocolateKieran Characters first just to get a basic understanding.
@@ChocolateKieran If you're ever looking for KOF lore, I can give you a link just so you're not lost or anything.
Just say the word and let a neighbor help out. 👊🏼
If you're still curious about the Tekken lore? Here's a brief rundown for you.
Heihachi threw Kazuya off a cliff when he was a kid, with him reasoning that if his son could survive, he will acknowledge him as a worthy Mishima (this is later revealed that Heihachi did so to see if Kazuya had the Devil Gene from his mother, Kazumi, and when Kazuya survived, he was proven right). Kazuya would climb out and dedicate his life to getting strong, taking down many opponents, even drawing with Paul, until Heihachi announced the first King of Iron Fist Tournament to lure Kazuya. Kazuya ultimately won and would throw Heihachi down the same cliff.
Heihachi is revealed to have survived, making Kazuya announce the second Tournament to finally kill his old man. Kazuya met Jun during this, who was investigating activities for Animal Rights that the Mishima Zaibatsu were covertly violating, and he found himself drawn to her. This all happened while Kazuya was battling for control against his inner Devil, with Jun being his anchor to whatever remained of his humanity. In the end, Heihachi would reach his son, brutalize him and throw Kazuya into a volcano after winning.
There is a long gap between Tekken 2 and 3, where Jun gives birth to Jin after Kazuya was killed by Heihachi, raising him and imparting with him her teachings (belief and fighting style, the Kazama Traditional Karate), until one night, the Fighting God Ogre attacked their home in a remote small town, with Jun sacrificing herself to protect her son (Jin was 15 when this happened). After this, Jin followed his mom's instructions and sought out his grandfather, Heihachi, who took him in and taught him the Mishima Fighting Style (in Tekken 3, and ONLY in Tekken 3 does Jin have moves from both of his parents), before announcing the third tournament during Jin's 18th birthday to lure out Ogre. Paul wounded up beating Jin and Ogre, but he left thinking it was over, with Jin being left to defeat the newly transformed True Ogre and killing it, but Heihachi betrayed his grandson by shooting him dead, but Jin survives when his Devil Gene awakens.
Tekken 4 is set 2 years after that, where Heihachi uses it to flush out Jin (who had went to Australia and unlearned the Mishima style and picked up traditional Karate instead out of hatred for his paternal bloodline) and Kazuya, whose body was found and revived by his rival company, G Corp. Heihachi and Kazuya end up temporarily working together, order the Tekken force to ambush Jin and kidnap him to take his power, but Jin beats both of them, and he only spares the two due to Jun's spirit still anchoring him to his humanity (at this point, Jin is having an internal feud between his two bloodlines, both vying for control over his destiny). G Corp betrays Kazuya and attempts to kill him with an arm of Jack bots, but he escapes and abandons Heihachi, who seemingly dies.
The fifth tournament is announced by Jin's revived great grandfather, Jinpachi, who Jin defeats, making him the winner and the new leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Jin ends up kickstarting World War III in an effort to fill the world with negative emotions to awaken Azazel, who believes is the progenitor of the Devil Gene, and announces the sixth tournament as a ruse. His half-uncle Lars stops him and finds out why his nephew did this, which makes Jin sacrifice himself to kill Azazel.
Unfortunately, he survives and suffers a coma. Heihachi returns and reclaims the Zaibatsu, and announces the seventh tournament to finally settle his feud with Kazuya, with the two later encountering Akuma (yes, THAT Akume), who his wife asked to kill both of them should they turn evil. In the end, Kazuya kills Heihachi for real this time, but his secret with the Devil Gene is exposed.
Tekken 8 is set six months after Tekken 7, with Jin having awakened from his coma and wanting to atone for his reckless actions. It's poised to end the longstanding feud between the Mishima men, with Kazuya and his son, with whoever is left standing being the true victor.
Also worth mentioning:
Kazuya, Lee, Nina, Law, Jack-8, Yoshimitsu and Paul have all been mainstays since the original Tekken (Paul and Law are best friends, and Kazuya once considered Paul a rival), while Jun hasn't been around since 2 (because she was considered KIA since Ogre attacked in the beginning of 3).
Jin, Hwoarang, King II (the original King was in 1 & 2), Xiaoyu, Bryan and Kuma II have been around since Tekken 3.
Steve from 4; Asuka, Raven, Feng, Dragunov and Lili from 5; Lars, Alisa and Leo from 6; and, Shaheen, Claudio and Leroy from 7. Azucena, Reina and Victor are newcomers in 8.
I'm genuinely interested on people's reaction to tekken itself if they have no clue about the lore whatsoever. New subscriber here; curious about the reaction you will be having once the game is available to play
Than you for watching and joining us! Looking forward to learning more and checking out the game 😁
Your chat said that there was nobody from the Philippines. Tekken 7 had a representative named Jozie Rizal.
Tekken has legit the craziest story in any video game, what other series would have a boxing kangaroo have a rivalry with a boxing velociraptor
Killer Instinct has a fire breathing Velociraptor who fights robots, ice aliens from another planet, undead skeleton pirate, a ghost from the ring, a mummified lich and many more. Yeah, Tekken isn't the only one.
@@alainchristienemendoza9982
Well the reason the whole rivalry between the kangaroo and velociraptor exists is because the kangaroo’s wife cheated on him with the velociraptor, so idk if other games can beat that lol
@@Squidward-jv7go that's it? I've seen a lot of games that's even weirder and crazier than your story...
Tekken 3 has wooden man playing Tekken 3 while in the woods and mains wooden man while also being playable in Tekken 3.... it's literally canon.
The dude in chat that said "game is game" about Jun and Kazuya made me spit out my drink lmao
He was also spitting too though 😂
You understand who Reina is as long as you see the "Dorya" move...
Rimuru next to dragon quest slime, buster sword, keyblade, mh bone gs(?), zelda sword, energy blade, pokeball, strawhat, shuriken that end screen is *WILD*
You have a good eye, LETS GO! A ton of references to a lot of the things I love 😁
King is pretty much Evolution from WWE, he does the Pedigree, RKO and Batista Bomb (sitdown Powerbomb) now he needs a move from Ric Flair, if you dont count the chops
31:09 A simple description and role of Claudio is this:
He has the power(the magic arrow and circle you're talking about) to exorcise the Devil Gene of Kazuya and Jin.
Hence, he is an exorcist from Italy.
Last Tekken 7, Heihachi learned of his existence and tried to recruit him to defeat Kazuya.
I get a feeling that this man knows more animes than fighting games 😅
Well yeah! I've watched about 400+ anime series, I couldn't name that many fighting games LOL
So, some facts:
-Both Jin and Kazuya carry the Devil Gene, which allow them to become demons and use their powers, but Jin hates it.
-Jack is a series of robots that appeared in every game, being numbered according to each installment (except for Tekken 3, which is Gun Jack, and Tekken Tag Tournament, who has both Jack and Prototype Jack).
-Bryan is a cyborg, being powered up by a cybernetic heart that makes him very powerful, but he's also a sadistic asshole. His special intro with Paul is a reference to the Tekken 6 opening, where they fight each other and their punches clash
-Marshall is Chinese-American, and he's Paul's best friend
-Leroy isn't Marshall's master. The only relation they have to each other, it's that in the Leroy reveal trailer in Tekken 7, the guy fought Law and Feng
-Lili isn't French. She's from Monaco (which is a French-speaking country), and her fighting style is ballet-based, just like Manon.
-Reina is Heihachi's daughter, thus, Kazuya's sister.
-Kuma is Heihachi's pet, and Panda is Xiaoyu's pet.
-King isn't a mutant. He's just a masked wrestler who takes his character VERY seriously. He was inspired by Tiger Mask, a manga/anime character who was a wrestler with a tiger mask. The character's influence was so big at the time that it became a real life wrestling gimmick, there being multiple pro wrestlers using the Tiger Mask persona
-Yoshimitsu is actually just a guy. He just has some crazy outfits throughout the Tekken games, but the only inhuman thing about him is one of his arms, as it is robotic (which is why he can spin his sword like a propeller and fly like a helicopter with it). Him having a sword doesn't make him overpowered or anything. In fact, he's one of the hardest characters to play in the game. His sword, however, was revealed to be cursed in Tekken 6 (and it is also named "Yoshimitsu"). Also, Yoshimitsu is a title, not a real name, since in the Soul Calibur series, there are two other Yoshimitsus (the predecessors to the one in Tekken)
Man I'm happy to see you react to the trailers. Satisfying xD basically Reina is Heihachi's Daughter from what i heard lmao and to answer one of the comments i noticed in the stream, in tekken 7 the Filipina Character is called "Josie Rizal" Which is funny cuz we have a known Philippine hero who actually has a long name but is in short called "Jose Rizal" 😂
Fun fact about Steve fox, Nina Williams is technically Steve Fox's mom
Steve Fox is a lab made person by the Mishima Zaibatsu using the body of Nina Williams
short explanation of what you don't understand the bar below life is called bar: heat, which has several uses in addition to the life chep
1- Heat Burst is generated when you press R1 and throw a special blow activating the heat bar (this blow is used to lengthen combos since it causes the character to bounce off the ground)
2- Heat Engager is done with certain specific hits that activate the heat bar upon impact
3- Heat Smash is the special finisher of the heat bar that is activated with the same R1 once the heat bar is activated
4- Heat Dash: certain blows after impact cause the enemy to crawl on the ground when holding --> after that hit and the enemy crawls or flies in the air, you will have your character run after him to generate some finish
In addition, the characters are characterized by using the entire pad: left fist, right fist
left kick, right kick, square or triangle, X, circle, it depends on the direction of the pad or lever and some button already mentioned, you can do different types of hits
With one button you can do up to 8 or less, different hits depending on the direction from which you hit it.
Okay let me break this down …
1. Heihachi is the Father of Kazuya, Lars & Reina .. Grand father of Jin
2. Which makes Kazuya, Lars & Reina brothers & sister
3. Which also means that Lars is Jin’s uncle & Reina is Jin’s aunt
Crazy family tree
Oh here’s a side note: ONLY THE MISHIMA BLOODLINE HAVE ELECTRICS/LIGHTNING… which is why you only see Lars, Kazuya, Jin, Reina, Heihachi & even Jinpachi(Tekken 5 & TT2 ONLY) “Also the Father of Heihachi, Grandfather of Lars, Kazuya & Reina & the Great Grandfather of Jin)
Don't forget Kuma (now having Electrics).
@@RavenXtreme no he doesn’t .. he uses the Mishima style technique but he IS NOT a mishima so the electrics are non existent. The only way the electrics will exist if they add it as a “Hit effect” for all characters minus the Mishima bloodline.
Tekken has a 4 button layout, where each button represents a limb. (That's why Steve as a boxer has his leg buttons to sway/dodge but he does have kicks though)
+there is no overhead or anti air in Tekken. You have high, mid and low attacks. so your default block is not down back!!!
Thank you so much for explaining! That makes perfect sense
@@ChocolateKieran No Prob.
wish you an amazing entry into the Tekken (3D) World.
PS: there is a shimmy option but in 3D we use side steps. Characters have a weak side for you to step. You gotta learn those.
for example: the fastest attack is a jab (10f)
if you shimmy that, the opponent can block before you can punish.
so you sidestep or duck (if it's a high jab) and punish
Someone might have said this already but Lili is not French, she's from Monaco.
I watched the whole thing. As a long-time Tekken fan, this was so funny to me having to watch you guess and fill in the blanks on just what the hell is going on in this already ridiculous and convoluted lore 🤣
Are you aware that Akuma from Street Fighter became canon in Tekken lore since Tekken 7? Yeah... Lol.
Glad you had fun with it 😂 And I know he was in Tekken, but didn't know it was cannon to the lore! That's dope
Everyone in Tekken can understand each other. Even the Bears.
Oh and for your question if Tekken is 4 or 6 button fighting game like SF its 4 buttons. You basically have left/right punch(X,Y/Square,Triangle) and left/right kick(A,B/Cross,Circle).
Reina is another of Heihachi's children, and the latest; the big reveal in the trailer is when Kazuya asks who she is, she just responds "you'll understand soon enough", and it immediately cuts to both of them using the exact same move on each other, the iconic Mishima Electric Wind God Fist.
"Wait, his Genji!" Oh man
The fact that Rein is Heihachi’s daughter (illegitimate daughter) the sister of Kazuya and the aunt of Jin is just crazy
He called the pedigree a powerbomb lol
My fighting game journey so far has been DBFZ (somehow), then SF6, and the entire time I've been telling myself "I'm not getting into Tekken."
Well... I might be getting into Tekken.
Honestly go for it, it’s beyond fun!!!
Claudio is actually an exorcist
Raven really turned into Noob Saibot man DAYUM
Fun fact about Leo, they're actually gender neutral and has never been confirmed one way or the other, they always use neutral terms in Japanese and are listed under both male and female fighters on the website :)
Harada confirmed Leo as Eleonore Klieson, a female back in T6. He did walk it back later for some reason, but because of that I will always refer to Leo as a female.
Original text shows him as a girl. Then on official descriptions they've used him/he to refer to him
@@lonewander6772 no he didn't he said that that was a concept that would later become Leo, not that it's in Leo's lore
@@giovannebeistline2575 no it doesn't Harada has straight up said they are gender neutral
@@bigh99267 yes, he has said that. But that was after official sources had release conflicting information and he jsut addressed it. I'm just pointing out that is wrong to say that it has never been confirmed - as it has in the past and then changed again later
Since you asked if having a sword isnt an advantage in Tekken, it really isnt. (Yoshimitsu)
In Tekken 7 he was considered one weaker if not weakest characters that REALLY needs
to work hard for his wins with Trickery and being unpredictable at ALL times.
In fact, hes much better if you put the sword away IMO haha
Panda is a playable character 😂 it’s just they haven’t fully released every character trailer as of yet they’ve released 3 other characters after Kuma, which is including Panda
King is a luchador, it’s a mask and he learned how to speak Jaguar, and in the lore of Tekken everyone understand each other’s languages; there is a great lore behind King this would be King 2 as the original King retired and passed the mask on to this King back in Tekken 3 I think and there is Armored King who wears the head of a Black Panther and is King’s rival
Kieran on the stage selection: Alright where's that Alpaca stage? I need that music in here
FACT! 😂
Ortiz Farm ost
"that's not how marriage works"
Bro. If we ever learn anything about the Mishima's, we all know Family relationships starts with violence.
As Heihachi's pet, what do you think Kuma would learn from Heihachi about love/marriage?
All thx to Mr. Harada making this amazing series non stop until today
So a bit of context for the Mishimas: as the person in chat said- Jin, Kazuya, and Heihachi all kinda hate each other. It’s sort of a running theme in Tekken’s main story: father vs son. And as such, it’s the main conflict in most of the Tekken games.
The Mishimas have such distinctive playstyles and moves that they’re actually their own character archetype in Tekken meta. A signature move the Mishimas have is called the Electric Wind God Fist (very overblown name I know lol), basically a really powerful uppercut that incorporates lightning into the attack, and it’s a strong contender for one of the best moves in the game. All the Mishimas share similar movesets in game since they all use the same martial art, with the exception of Jin since he uses his mother Jun’s fighting style: Kazama style. Jin is considered a sort of pseudo Mishima since he has some similar moves to the others but they don’t fully align with the Mishima archetype I.e the Electric Wind Hook Fist.
There are other moves Mishimas have in common but by far the most recognizable one and the most iconic one is the Electric Wind God Fist. Keep that in mind.
That being said, I’ll switch gears to Reina. You made a pretty good observation by pointing out she has some type of involvement with the Mishimas. Her showcase against Kazuya was the big reveal as to why she’s a big deal. Their first clash was with *Electric Wind God Fists.*
Yep, *Reina is a Mishima,* and the FGC lost its collective mind when it was revealed she was one because we haven’t had a new Mishima since Jinpachi from Tekken 5 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, well over a decade ago. She’s the secret daughter of Heihachi and by extension, Kazuya’s sister. She -for some God forsaken reason- idolized her dad while Kazuya very reasonably did not, leading to Heihachi’s (hopefully) final battle in a volcano (bear with me, Tekken lore is nuts) where he’s finally defeated and killed at the hands his son Kazuya.
Following all this from Tekken 7, you can understand why Reina has some pretty bad beef with Kazuya. They may be siblings and Heihachi may have been a terrible person, but Reina still loved her dad, so there’s going to be some problems in the near future.
Lili is not actually French. She's from Monaco
Reina is actually one of Heihachi's daughter and also is a carrier of the devil gene.
Jin is the canon winner of Tekken 3.
Paul indeed beat Ogre and left the tournament, thinking that he won. Unknown to him. Ogre transforms into True Ogre, which Jin beats. Hence, tha makes Jin the canon winner.
43:23 Actually Reina is Heihachi's Daughter, in that part, Reina is using the Mishima Move which is "Electric Wind God Fist - EWGF"
To not be Confused:
Heihachi's Son is Kazuya
HeiHachi's Daughter is Reina
Kazuya's Wife is Jun Kazama
Jun Kazama's Son is Jin Kazama
Jin Kazama's Girlfriend (Maybe) is Xiaoyu
Lars Alexandersson is Kazuya's Elder Brother
Lee is a Step Son of Kazuya Mishima
- Lars is much younger than Kazuya.
- Lee is Kazuya's adopted brother, not son.
"i dont know what language that is , I dont speak Italian" 😂 31:08
The funniest thing from these trailers, especially for tekken fans, is the fact that Kuma in this game now has the Electric Wind God Fist, which is essentially an uppercut all "mishima" style fighters have
That "Stop in time" thing you were mentioning, that's called HEAT. New mechanic for Tekken 8.
There is no “who’s good?”…. The question is “how good are you?”
In regards to Lily I guess she's closer to Karin rather than Manon.
Y'know what, good point! Especially in personality
Tekken 3 was a 20 year time jump and most of the fighters who didn't return were presumed killed off by the boss of that game, including Jun. She hasn't been in a canon Tekken game since 2. Asuka was then introduced later as a character with Jun's style. And over the years, virtually everyone Ogre supposedly killed has returned.
Ogre really doing KOs
Except King 1
Jack-8 looks like Adam Smasher from Cyberpunk
Idk if they ever got around to it, but the chat was wondering about a Philippines rep and there was Josie Rizal and another for SEA was Fahkumram from Thailand
Tekken lore runs so deep but it's so good, you gotta sit down and watch some lore vids if you haven't already
Couple of corrections here: 13:06 Kishimoto designed the costume that was in Naruto Storm 2, which was an alternate in Tekken 6. The default design is not Kishi's.
6:16 it is not Takehito Koyasu. Whoever said that to you was wrong
"Is he a mutant, is that a mask?" He's just Mexican
Raven Lore, because it got brought up a bit: Raven is a member of the UN Special Forces (The UN is one of the 3 major factions in the game, along with G-Corp, who are the guys who made the JACK robots, and put the cyborg technology in Bryan Fury and the Mishima Zaibatzu, which is literally just the Mishima Family's massive flex that they CAN in fact have a private army ran) in Raven Unit, in which all of the members are named Raven.
Raven was taught martial arts by Master Raven, who was in Tekken 7, but is generally regarded to be the strongest member of Raven Unit even above Master Raven because unlike the others, he doesn't rely heavily on technology to fight, but instead can use Ninjutsu he was taught by the Manjii Tribe that Yoshimitsu belongs to. the French dude in Tekken 8 is the leader of the UN Special Forces as a whole, and is Raven's boss.
Bro you are funny as hell I enjoyed this very much 😂
I appreciate that! Glad you had fun 😂
Funny you mention Nina having Dio's time stop sound effect from Jojo... another Jojo reference that's been there from almost the start of the franchise; Kazuya's gloves have a triangle-shaped series of round metal plates just like Star Platinum... and when he turns purple as a devil? Also a Star Platinum reference... and likely mixed in Devilman as a reference too.
The Lightning Reina, Lars, Jin, and Kazuya use is a Mishima bloodline thing
