Yeah me engaging on you into big mix that you have to hold with a giant half screen safe heat engager & freezing the screen for 5 seconds is not hype….. l crazy concept. watching pros jock for position with sick movement in t7 was hype. It was almost like watching someone try to close the distance in a real fight. T8 is not fun to spectate I could care less. I’ll watch TWT and evo top 8 and not follow anything else
It’s existing for those who play tekken yes. But to those who don’t anything about the game might see it as boring, so may be that’s why they made for aggressive ish. (That way it will look sick to all casual/veteran players) even though they were wrong about the veteran part…
@@sweetshoezwatching pros walk in, press, disengage to full screen, walk in, press, disengage to full screen over and over was not hype. Older Tekkens were hype because even when you disengaged you were just a step out of range. You were still in there, up close for 90% of the match not backing off for most of it like 7. They are not the same
Because older Tekkens defense was more hype than whatever the fuck was going on in T7 after season 2, that shit was ass. T8 can easily fix its problems by buffing backdash and toning strings, tracking on moves (Jin d2) and plus frames. They gave up on making T7 cool, no hope for that game
Something I appreciate the most after going back and playing older tekkens is how fast the combos are. You launch, get a few hits or go for something difficult but optimal and even then it still ain’t lasting 10 seconds. It breeds more interaction naturally.
Tekken was like chess. You had to have the right tactics and figure out your opponent, trying to predict his movements. Each player knew when his turn ended and when his opponent's turn began, and the game was to outsmart him. Currently, the situation is similar, except that everyone can move their pieces as many times as they want and whenever they want, as long as they are faster than their opponent.
these Tekken 6 matches brought me nostalgia, T6 is my favourite game, i have childhood memories with it and shit, i used to play it on the old PSP. Those matches were crazy bro thanks for uploading this
I blame the death of real Tekken on Tag 2. Not because that game was bad, but because of how its failure was viewed. Harada and Murray thought it failed cause they made Tag2 too pro-friendly with the complexity rewarding legacy players but (supposedly) being too hard for casuals, but it really wasn’t that. The marketing was just so bad, hella casual T6 players that drifted away to play Halo or COD in that era (like me) didn’t even know Tag 2 was coming out until a year or so after it dropped, and that’s when they started coddling the noobs more. The worst part is the success of T7 made them believe they were right to go down this path, which is why T8 is even more babymode than T7, but if they don’t strike a balance between satisfying the noob and the legacy players, this game is gonna die before we ever see a Tag 3. Even now, most of my casual friends that I convinced to pick up T8 say they don’t play it unless I’m playing with them.
It would've flopped regardless of marketing. If you didn't like T6, you sure as well wouldn't like the game that dialed T6's issues to 11. Not to mention barely anyone outside of the TK community gave a shit about the series during the T6 and Tag 2 era. Especially not with SF and MK making their comebacks.
Like, look how interactive this is, both players get turns and chances to make reads and surprise their opponent. Combos dont last 10 years. Spacing and neutral matters. Poking and defense matters.
@@gorguts6667 that’s not what you said. Your statement implies that in T8 these things don’t matter. They do. They are an important part of your gameplay if you want to win consistently. Sure they aren’t as all encompassing as previous titles. But saying they don’t matter is just nonsense
So, instead of reading my statement hyper-literally, you could be a normal person and understand that when someone makes a statement like "spacing and neutral matters" what I mean is that it matters much MORE in older titles, not that it doesn't matter AT ALL in Tekken 8. OBVIOUSLY you have to play a little bit of neutral in Tekken 8, but again, its nothing like in 5DR and 6.
I used to play T5DR in the arcades a lot I bought one those $5 character cards for Julia. Met alot of great players learning a lot of fundamentals like sidestepping, okizeme, breaking throws, bound was a new thing and buffering mad axes from party crasher. Castel had some great combo videos back in the day too. Miss those arcade days sometimes.
Tekken 5 - 6 from gameplay wise the most fun + competitive , tekken 3 and first tag was purely mechanical pleasure just to hit combos and chains and do traditional spacing, tekken 4 and 2 the most cinematically iconic and aesthetic scores theme etc . tekken 7 painfully mainstream yet iconic with the tournaments, everything went serious, but its aight'' still had to grind, tekken 8 is for the marvel kids.
T6 was real Tekken, pure ground game. But T7 glazer haters always say “T6 was trash it had 6 Bobs at Evo” like T7 didn’t have Evo Japan Leroy fiasco. I’m tired of the T6 hate, it was a waaaay more solid Tekken game than 7 & 8 and those games got balance patches. Imagine if T6 got half as many? Would’ve been the best Tekken ever.
t6 is not better than tekken 5 or more real tekken than 5 by the simple fact that it has rage and bounds ,, but is definitely better than tt2 , 7 and 8
The claim that tekken 7 is a part of the same ilk as tekken 8 blows my mind, tekken 7 is MUCH more similar to every prior tekken game, tekken 8 is its own thing
6 was complete garbage. Permanently dropped Tekken 6 when MvC2 released on PS3. Had already dropped it for COD and Killzone 2. Tag 2 got me back into Tekken. A polished version of what 6 should've been with good characters. 6 was the beginning of the end. Built in movement and anime / trash characters. Alyssa, Lards, Bob, Leo, Zafina lmfao garbage characters. Beginning of everyone's endings being comedy too. Complete garbage game where it belongs. Remembered as the trash that it was.
@ lmao only because these new cats don’t know how to play without using system mechanics lmao. if the game was well made and shilled hard enough people will play.
@@spectrexr1 no one cares. Not everyone is gonna play Tekken for that long given each game last for over half a decade. The real fans should be the target audience since they are the ones who are going to play the most.
i feel like they needa tweak heat down, stop wit the unblockables n guard break stuff n let ppl work for their W, bc characters can legit pop heat n go super saiyan n boom u win
Would love to see if Tekken 8 makes a mode or setting in a custom game that turns off current Tekken's dumb stuff, 'cuz old Tekken gameplay is still something I dream of playing again without having to wait 4 years for a match in those games.
If we could get one Tekken remade/remastered, I hope it's Tekken 5. A T5 remake would be so fire, especially in the comp scene. I miss when fundamentals won you matches
@Ock_mantis bro, people can't learn from losing anymore. The best players always learn more from losing than winning. If you lose less, you will learn less.
T6 and before is what I call real Tekken personally. Tag 2 had a lot of good points about it but the tag system in that game just didn't gel with me. There was definitely a higher skill ceiling and a deeper pool of depth for the game's system.
I played tekken more seriously at arcade since tekken 4. In my country we had arcades everywhere and at that time we bought memory cards to play tekken 5 and tekken 6 at arcade. All your rank and customization info recorded in your card, but one card for only one character. That's a good time to play tekken and face to face to play other players was fun. I really enjoyed that old school time. 😂
Lets be honest. Most would play this version of real tekken. Get side stepped on and kbd'ed on a few games. And prolly get a refund lol. Between 5 and tag 2. Would be the dark ages for the modern player today without nothing to crutch on. Im seeing some of the same players that complained about tekken being to hard to play then, turning around and saying the game is to easy now. Lets not forget dudes couldn't handle tag 2 because you had to (not really) play two characters lol. And that was one of the excuses why the game was to hard..even though most ppl play more then one character anyway so................... Im just glad im ether or tbh. I just play tekken because i injoy tekken.
tekken 5 and DR is peak Tekken.. movement and sidestepping is faster and better than 6 and tt2 , and i didn't like the bound and rage system of those games,,..
People going to from Tekken 5 to Tekken 6 thought 6 was absolute garbage juice. This is where in 6 juggling was extended and you could do extra damage when you hit your rage mark. The criticism was: "Look for launch, launch, then juggle and then die." People hated Tekken 6. But isn't that the same story with every new Tekken? Legacy players hate the new game. Shit never changes lol
I didn't start playing Tekken until 6. Rage was implemented into the game, and it was cool. You did a bit more damage, but in order to make a comeback you still had to play like a god. Then, T7 came out....I played with a friend and his group of friends (who were all new to Tekken), and when I heard and saw armor and rage art, I immediately knew scrubs were gonna abuse it. Lo and behold, my friend's friends were doing exactly that. Armor isn't too bad, some of them are punishable on block (kinda wish they all were), and then we have the added bullshit of heat and heat smash, more things to add to the arsenal of things for scrubs to abuse when they don't want to put in the effort to actually be good. edit: 13:12 exactly, 100%. Now it doesn't even feel like a martial arts fighting game, it's gradually gravitated towards anime bullshit lol
Im so glad you made this video People dont know what Tekken is They hear ppl say this and just respond "youre bad" or "get good" When its not about your skill level what so ever I played Tekken 1-6 throughout my life Those games represent the fundamentals of what Tekken is The game evolved, but the core was there I never played tag 2 at the time so i jumped straight to 7 The rage arts, armor moves, super huge hitboxes combined with bad sidestep, the way you get up simplified I saw the vision All these things implemented scrub mentality and syntheticaly close the gap between players DLC reinforced this , and Tekken 8 put the final stamp on it If im being completely honest It started T6 with Alisa Super novas and gap closers from a stadium away Sure you can beat all these things, or "bait it out bro", But why am i getting punished when i have advantage Scrub design
This must bring back crazy memories for you, I only started the game in early T7, I cant even imagine playing the game as long as you have GM, its no wonder you understand it so well! That match vs Pok was insane man! Crazy fundamentals
Hold up you messed up an input and got punished? That’s insane I ain’t ever heard of that in tekken 8. You mess up and I put in t8 you end up launching the opp somehow.
T5 DR looks like the tekken you had to be the most solid in, T6 is hands down my favourite tho… probably a lot of nostalgia too but man that game was perfection
Hopefully Tekken 8 finds a balance between og tekken and it's new mechanics. This looks a lot for fun than heat burst, heat smash, rage art, guard breaks and power crushes
can't lie those tekken games look fun i only got to play tekken 7 and it looks more fun because theres not a bunch of save moves and the combo system was tuff
Too much noise pollution from Street Fighter 4 in the background, especially the gormless announcer in that game. I understand that that can't really be helped, though. Awsome gameplay, and your thesis is spot-on!
This is very cool to look back on since I was a kid during TK DR and i was just mashing most of the time there, I agree with you that this is real tekken, just hand to hand combat
Tekken 5 DR is not only my fav Tekken game or fighting game. But one of my top 3 games of all time. If they released a remaster on PS5 I would play the hell out of that game.
Taken 5 dr was the realest. Then with 6 rage came, then tag rage. Years later Tekken revolution was a test vital for Tekken 7 mechanics and that turned it into a different game.
Dunno what martial Art movies u are watching, but ive never seen one, where a character Kicks the other and they start floating so that they cant get kicked and punched mid-air
Damn bro really an OG lee. How do you never got bored of the same character? You never Fw anyone else? I rotate characters every couple months or I get bored
I was around back then with " real " tekken. Sorry it's mad borning to watch. Everyone knows it was more pure back then because it didn't have all the flashy stuff or come back mechanics. Tekken still Tekken. It's just made easier so more people can play and to keep the games from dying like a lot of fighters have. That how it is with everything. Kinda like how virtua fighter stayed the same none of the extra. And its dead . We just have to deal 🤷
Not to glaze these two games anymore than necessary but; Its crazy in T5DR and T6 you can see people actively thinking and adjusting in terms of their offense and even defense compared to t7-t8. There wasnt as much opening up people randomly if their defense was solid and there was very little "just gotta hold that" moments as you can see in T8. The skill ceiling was just higher.
I think they need to remove or drastically reduce the amount of chip damage you can deal. Spam some plus on block mids and do a heat smash does basically a full combos worth of damage on block.
No lie this is real Tekken! To all you new players no offense! This is OG Tekken and why a lot of ppl don't like T8. Notice the emphasis on pokes and not these long high damage heat engaging/mechanic combos. Also there was a another technique called Chicken 🐥 which most modern players wouldn't understand or be capable or doing. More tech holding forward on stun would break the stun just so much more to the OG Tekken then this scrub fest of a game called T8
If you enjoy anything don't go online because online is where people come to complain. If Bandai made a game exactly like Tekken 5 these people will complain that it's nothing new, so you can never satisfy these types and that's why they will continue to get ignored and deserve it. I'm from street fighter and they bitch about the same things. TLDR "Old game good new game bad"
@@TheGaara802not really, a lot of people are passionate about Tekken and want the game to go in the right direction that strays away from homogenization. If you had any understanding for Tekken and just fighting games in general you’d understand that Tekken 8 is not a well designed fighting game and in fact regressed from its predecessors
He can't appreciate the old stuff? How come all you 8ers hate the series so much? Feel like most of you never tried or been good at Tekken until Guessen 8.
@ i respect the older games but old heads try to discredit us so much in even younger than a 08er i would’ve been 9 back then, like it’s not my fault they made fgs easier. definitely would put the work in on older games if i could. all respect tho negativity just sucks
Yall just sound old. The game was always fonna change, and the OGs would either have to adjust or step off. Looks like alot of them have made their decisions.

Now this is REAL tekken , not that sesame street shit we are playing now
or that shit we been playing for the whole decade, T7 was fucking ASS
Back when characters had their identity. Lee was a counter-hit -wall carrier type but now everyone can wall carry
Exactly bro it's what made me play lee back then
Who would you say is the best at it now, imo bryan has very strong wall carry, but hwo can do it with just one move on repeat so idk
It's ironic how they made T8 way more aggressive because it was "boring" being defensive when OG tekken is way more hype.
You really have no idea what you’re talking about do you?
Yeah me engaging on you into big mix that you have to hold with a giant half screen safe heat engager & freezing the screen for 5 seconds is not hype….. l crazy concept.

Tekken 5, specifically DR, is peak Tekken. I would kill for a rerelease with rollback netcode.
i wish,, can you imagine a remastered tekken 5 with shiny tekken 8 graphics,,, everybody would drop tekken 8
We need a tekken collection
Only tekken i havent played other than the tag ones, did i miss that much?
Something I appreciate the most after going back and playing older tekkens is how fast the combos are. You launch, get a few hits or go for something difficult but optimal and even then it still ain’t lasting 10 seconds. It breeds more interaction naturally.
exactly. 10 seconds alone on an unskippable RA
If tekken looked like this today id honestly be extremely happy, real tekken for real players

Would love to replay tekken 5 purely for Devil Within mod. Would love some reimagining in future updates
That would be aswome

Real Tekken type shi
T6 and before is what I call real Tekken personally. Tag 2 had a lot of good points about it but the tag system in that game just didn't gel with me. There was definitely a higher skill ceiling and a deeper pool of depth for the game's system.

Im so glad you made this video
People dont know what Tekken is
They hear ppl say this and just respond "youre bad" or "get good"
When its not about your skill level what so ever
I played Tekken 1-6 throughout my life
Those games represent the fundamentals of what Tekken is
The game evolved, but the core was there
I never played tag 2 at the time so i jumped straight to 7
The rage arts, armor moves, super huge hitboxes combined with bad sidestep, the way you get up simplified
I saw the vision
All these things implemented scrub mentality and syntheticaly close the gap between players
DLC reinforced this , and Tekken 8 put the final stamp on it
If im being completely honest
It started T6 with Alisa
Super novas and gap closers from a stadium away
Sure you can beat all these things, or "bait it out bro",
But why am i getting punished when i have advantage
Scrub design

Too much noise pollution from Street Fighter 4 in the background, especially the gormless announcer in that game. I understand that that can't really be helped, though.
Awsome gameplay, and your thesis is spot-on!
Thanks for watching bro and being a subscriber
Didn’t realize how cool tekken 6 is till now. I didn’t really know what i was doing back then when I was playing these old games. Nice footages gm!
Finally. Someone said it.
This is very cool to look back on since I was a kid during TK DR and i was just mashing most of the time there, I agree with you that this is real tekken, just hand to hand combat
Damn older tekken games are super fire. I love the neutral and seeing these old school high level matches! 🔥
Such a joy to see tekken 5dr and tekken 6 gameplay man
unc was a demon in tekken 6 and 7 hopefully we see more of you in tekken 8
Look at t6 lee's sick costume. T6 had the best outfits and the best customization IMO - the characters never looked better.
Tekken 5 DR is not only my fav Tekken game or fighting game. But one of my top 3 games of all time. If they released a remaster on PS5 I would play the hell out of that game.
Tekken 3 through Tekken 5 DR were my favorite days of Tekken. Tekken 2 was also really fun before Tekken 3 just raised the bar significantly.
Taken 5 dr was the realest. Then with 6 rage came, then tag rage. Years later Tekken revolution was a test vital for Tekken 7 mechanics and that turned it into a different game.
Back when Tekken matches looked like a martial arts movie. Haha man What a time
Dunno what martial Art movies u are watching, but ive never seen one, where a character Kicks the other and they start floating so that they cant get kicked and punched mid-air
Yess my boy made the video
These days of Tekken will never return. I'm not complaining. I'm still trying to get used to the new meta.
damn i miss the competitive GM. shoutout to FilthieRich too. Great upload!
Best Lee in the world 💪
Thanks mukith
4Horsemen days....miss the ole days
Damn... This is the exact type of fighting game I want to play... Too bad there's none like this with many players
Definitely tekken 5 and dr was the peak tekken for me
Bro summoned 150 old heads in these comments
Damn bro really an OG lee. How do you never got bored of the same character? You never Fw anyone else? I rotate characters every couple months or I get bored
I was around back then with " real " tekken. Sorry it's mad borning to watch. Everyone knows it was more pure back then because it didn't have all the flashy stuff or come back mechanics. Tekken still Tekken. It's just made easier so more people can play and to keep the games from dying like a lot of fighters have. That how it is with everything. Kinda like how virtua fighter stayed the same none of the extra. And its dead . We just have to deal 🤷
i wish i was able or old enough to play Tekken during that era. Looks super fun. Im not having fun in T8
It was bro and there was a arcade scene so that made it even more fun
God I miss this Tekken.
Ariel never misses
Yep, Tekken is dead dawg.
Not to glaze these two games anymore than necessary but; Its crazy in T5DR and T6 you can see people actively thinking and adjusting in terms of their offense and even defense compared to t7-t8. There wasnt as much opening up people randomly if their defense was solid and there was very little "just gotta hold that" moments as you can see in T8. The skill ceiling was just higher.
Beautiful
I think they need to remove or drastically reduce the amount of chip damage you can deal. Spam some plus on block mids and do a heat smash does basically a full combos worth of damage on block.
Many things need to change for tekken 8 to become a better game
Omg the trading in teller 6 ☺️☺️☺️ I miss it so much
TEKKEN 6 MENTIONED ❤❤❤
No lie this is real Tekken! To all you new players no offense! This is OG Tekken and why a lot of ppl don't like T8. Notice the emphasis on pokes and not these long high damage heat engaging/mechanic combos. Also there was a another technique called Chicken 🐥 which most modern players wouldn't understand or be capable or doing. More tech holding forward on stun would break the stun just so much more to the OG Tekken then this scrub fest of a game called T8
real
Personally i think rage art nd rage drive aint a problem but instead of heat or rage art id prefer rage drive as a comeback mechanic
I miss the time when Anna can kill you with 1 aerial combo. Ahhh good ol days
why tekken players complain more than any other fighting game some peoples fave franchises don’t even exist anymore so be happy yall have a game
If you enjoy anything don't go online because online is where people come to complain.
If Bandai made a game exactly like Tekken 5 these people will complain that it's nothing new, so you can never satisfy these types and that's why they will continue to get ignored and deserve it.
I'm from street fighter and they bitch about the same things.
TLDR "Old game good new game bad"
@@TheGaara802not really, a lot of people are passionate about Tekken and want the game to go in the right direction that strays away from homogenization. If you had any understanding for Tekken and just fighting games in general you’d understand that Tekken 8 is not a well designed fighting game and in fact regressed from its predecessors
He can't appreciate the old stuff? How come all you 8ers hate the series so much? Feel like most of you never tried or been good at Tekken until Guessen 8.
@ i respect the older games but old heads try to discredit us so much in even younger than a 08er i would’ve been 9 back then, like it’s not my fault they made fgs easier. definitely would put the work in on older games if i could. all respect tho negativity just sucks
Some people of you just live permanently in the past. Nostalgia can be a bad thing. Adapt and enjoy T8. Its a very good game.
It'll be even better without bounds and scrubby Rage mechanic
Man, bring back magic 4s lol. anything to stop annoying pressure.
I like how you didn't even need to watch any Koreans, just watching your own good stuff
Word bro i played for so long I can show u guys the good stuff
Tag 2 is real Tekken, just solo lol. There was no way Tag 2 was built to be real shit, But playing solo exposed a ton of dudes back then
Shit I’ll take tag 2 over 8 easy.
This was a good video too bad I want able to try the old tekken games
Im taking a shot everytime the word "Tekken" is said
Tag 2 was pretty cool. But tournament sets can easily go 30 mins+ and made it hard to watch.
what if tekken 8 released first?
Screw all you. Tekken 8 is real ham Tekken. Man up. Get Ready For The Next Battle.
Who are you trying to convince?😂
The players who got exposed in the older games. @@wakeupsweep8278
Yall just sound old. The game was always fonna change, and the OGs would either have to adjust or step off. Looks like alot of them have made their decisions.
