I was honestly confused when T7 brought that up as a plot point. All I remember from T6 is playing Lars in the Story mode and being pissed off that it just ended with Jin taking care of everything anyway.
TEKKEN 6: Tries to make me believe Jin is Hitler TEKKEN 7: Tries to make me believe Heihachi is a tragic character TEKKEN 8: Tries to make me believe Kazuya is worse than Satan
Always found it kind of interesting that the Tekken 6 trailers with Jin in the motorcycle and fighting Kazuya that doesn’t really happen in the main story is pretty much now the plot for Tekken 8, Tekken 8 even starts with Jin in the motorcycle and fighting Kazuya.
They should have included the exact same T6 BR intro as the opening for T8 but make it playable when the opening ends where Jin meets Kaz at the top of the G Corp helipad. I can't believe we've waited 15 whole years to see this fight finally take place. I just hope it was worth the wait.
Classic Hogan heel turn brotha.. Jin went Bash At The Beach 96 on us back in Tekken 6, he joined Kazuya and Heihachi and was the third man, all three were heels at that point
Comparing Tekken 7 to Tekken 6 really highlights how important patches are to the health of a fighting game. The two games share basically the same bones, but for one of them, the devs were able to make balance adjustments based on real-time data and player sentiment, and it made a huge difference in how good the game feels to play. I genuinely think Bandai Namco has the best balancing division in the industry.
Tekken without patches = unbalanced piece of shit Tekken with patches = unbalanced piece os shit The only difference is OP characters cycling in T7, that's all.
@@andrewnueslayer3848 No. Tekken 7's OP characters were never as bad as the series' worst, and the power level of the whole cast was fairly comparable.
Going from T4 & T5 into Tekken 6 Jin still gives me tonel whiplash. Jin clearly was "the good Mishima" at that point so they should have given a better reason for him to be the villain of T6 (fuck filler Azazel, he's just Zafina's claw hand now). He was already struggling with his inner devil in T5, Jin should have had a situation like Eddie Brock & Venom where he would be influenced by the devil gene to cause world war 3, Azazel would just be an excuse to fight and justify the chaos. Just an idea.
That interpretation of Venom is the least compelling one though, which is a problem I had with Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac. Venom has basically no character, and besides his voice and appearance is one of the most shallow depictions of Venom yet.
I just can't wait for T8 portraying Kazuya as a flat generic villain, so he carries the blame of every bad omen to date, Jin kills him and everyone proceed to act like T6 was just the delusion of a stoner having visions.
I think Jin becoming a war criminal is secretly brilliant because at least we're still talking about it. But I might be biased because he's not the kind of character I would play, lol.
@ It’s better then the game being boring and everyone forgetting about it. It sticks out to me as one of the only things in the story that’s halfway interesting.
What urks me is that Jin so far doesn't seem to have any acknowledgement about how his goal to eliminate Azazel to erase the Devil Gene had failed. Yes he did kill the demon but he STILL has his devil gene so all the chaos he made, all the lives his ruined and his descent to villainy was for nothing...and this is NEVER discussed or brought up. Not to mention the inconsistency in his character regarding his morale and what he truely thinks on what he done. In the Tekken 8 story intro first look we got; Kazuya rightfully tells him he started the war and Jin is all like "All to awaken a great threat for me to kill!" To try and justify what he did as if he learned NOTHING but when he looks at the fleeing people around him he laments about not being able to save everyone...says the man who started the war which costed lives so he has no right to say such things... Like you don't start a war, regardless of your intentoins, ESPECAILLY if you are going to pretend to be a villain...only to try and be like "I can't save anyone!" pretty much gives you no room to talk. Seriously I won't be suprised if the game ends where after Jin (supposedly) kills Kazuya; the world will just instantly forgive him and Jin would be like "I can live in peace now...". I know it's typical Japaneses storytelling and all, redemption and forgivness and all that but Jin started WWIII, ruined lives (and even had some killed indirectly like Miguel's sister for example) and killing Kazuya won't undo any of that.
"but when he looks at the fleeing people around him he laments about not being able to save everyone...says the man who started the war which costed lives so he has no right to say such things..." God I was literally screaming this when that scene pop up like are actually fucking kidding me right now!? Bro, you know how many lives men, women, children etc. you destroyed for you to say something like that? Miguel lost his sister to for this and as much as people didn't like the narrator dude from the Tekken 7 story he really was the "average Joe" who had to deal with aftermath of losing his whole family to this psycho literal millions are just like him.
Like, it would have made even more sense if he genuinely turned heel because of devil gene influence. (Not that this would have been much better, mind you.) This plotline and plot twist turned Jin into a massive idiot.
The end does not justify the means. Similar to the case of Itachi Uchiha (Naruto) and Ash Crimson (KOF) Characters who wanted to solve everything by their own hands without asking for help and in the end instead of solving the problem they only made things worse. People call them heroes when their actions say otherwise.
If you wanted to use the excuse that Jin was corrupted, then that would just be a shallow trait for a character's motivation. This was just...very unnecessary for someone like Jin after his Tekken 4 ending.
@@iskalleytell me you haven't seen anything about Tekken 8 without telling me you haven't seen anything about Tekken 8 😂. This game has some good ass modes right now. Wtf are you talking about?
Tekken 6 was my very first tekken because it came with my ps3 when I first got it. And i remember enjoying it quite a bit, I've played a ton of it. This game is the reason I'm still a fan of the series to this day.
i like that in Tekken 8 its all "we gotta put a stop to Kazuya destroying/ruling the world! Jin is our only hope!" when 90% of the problems were started by Jin in the first place
They also completely ignore Jin being suicidal. He literally days he wants to die after beating or killing Kazuya and everyone is just cool with it. Jin's 'allies' are cold man.
I was obsessed with Tekken 6 back in the day. I remember those long rainy days with the game... so much fun!! I actually liked the Story Campaign, but yeah, not making Arena mode unlocked from the beginning was a mistake. About Arcade, I don't remember how it was, but it should've been an infinite tower, like Treasure Mode. The customization was CRAZY. And my favorite, Asuka, actually got powered up and was so, so much better to play compared to Tekken 5. About online, man, I live in South America and had a shitty ADSL connection back in those days and I still was able to play and chat... never really had a problem. Maybe I just got lucky. Anyway, one of my favorites. I can't measure how much time I spent in this game trying to unlock absolutely everything!! P.S. Let's hope Tekken 8 is as good as it or better! Especially for single players.
I loved Tekken 6, i still love it after playing TK7, having Jin Kazama as a mid boss was so badass, with his own entrance image and cutscene and stage oof, and having Nancy as his protector (which is a good thing that she is a bonus round) The tekken 6 psp version is free to play on ps4/psp, it doesnt have the campaign but it do has the story mode of every character and the classic arcade mode It was thanks to this game i could main Jin since if u advance through the ranks, the mid-boss just kick your shit up, and u could leaen some combos from him
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise that I chose Devil Jin as my first character to play Scenario Campaign with. Law doesn't unlocked until almost right before Heihachi and Devil Jin is locked behind a secret post game level that's basically if Streets of Rage had a Kaizo mode. Unlocking DVJ organically the way the devs intended should be the big new TH-cam challenge for lets players.
As much as T3 makes up my mental image of Tekken, I've found drawings I did on school notebook paper that I assumed where DBZ until I noticed the fist studs, Bloodline Rebellion and the late 00s fighting game revival was really where my awareness of Tekken starts. I remember articles with Harada talking about how they put an effort into making sure the game didn't just look good in motion, but that screen shots and stills looked good. It was a hell of a learning curve coming from SC2/3, GGXX, and 3S. Story mode ended up being the big hook initially.
I think it's pretty reasonable narratively for Jin to have a great downfall to rock bottom so he can build his way back up after. My main problem is he threw away everything for a weird crystal dragon that had no build-up, wasn't doing anything and achieved little. I don't it's unsalvageable though. It can work if the consequences of Jins world war actively follow him around and aren't immediately forgiven. That's why I think Miguel has a more plot potential than first appears, his feelings of revenge are absolutely understandable. Zafina is also the most interesting thing they've done with Azazel.
Miguel as of post-Tekken 7 decided to wait till Jin is at his most hopeful and driven before he decides to take his revenge on him (after easily defeating him)
Agreed- Bringing Jin to a low so he can build himself back up is cool on paper, but MAN Azazel is just such a massive fat load of NOTHING. He just doesn't feel like a cool villain or as someone that merits Jin's drastic actions.
Agreed. I like the concept of Jin's motivation for starting WWIII but it comes completely out of left field, making Azazael feel very underwhelming. No build up, and upon death just sputters out.
Tekken 6 will always have a special place in my heart cuz it's my first Tekken game. Here in the Philippines, fighting games are not popular, but Tekken is, especially Tekken 6. Guaranteed in any arcade you would step in, there would be a Tekken 6 machine. So many memories with this one, I love Tekken 6
I like that the whole point of the war was to bring Azazel pit and get rid of the devil gene by destroying him. It doesn't excuse any of Jin's actions, and i think it helps showcase some of his own personal selfishness
Fun fact! There was ONE costume dlc for this game. It isn't available anymore because it was a yoshimitsu costume referencing the tube samurai bit from the penny arcade webcomic with a pac-man image on his back, so the license must have expired at some point. I think you got it by either pre-ordering the game or paying like 2 bucks if you didn't.
Great that almost the whole video through the Fallen Colony music is running in the background. The one thing I remember T6 for, this track is amazing.
Fun fact: in the PSP version of Tekken 6, the arcade mode works normally and you get the characters endings without needing to go trough all that fluff. There's no scenario campaign there tho.
Back in the day, I CANNOT believe I can say that for this game, but Tekken 6 was one of the first games we got when we got our Xbox 360 in 2010. I still remember my first experience and thinking "Wow, this game looks so good!" It was unbelievable to me at the time. Now, I was still young enough to where I didn't really care about really learning how to play the game, me, siblings, and friends were all still button mashing. I how to owe a TON to this game though, because I learned how to play fighting games. I didn't start really learning and eventually competing until MKX, but after that, I went back to learn Tekken 6, and from then on, Tekken has been my main fighting game. Just like Tekken 5, I owe so much of my fighting game life to this game, and that intro movie gives me goosebumps every fucking time. The game may not have been great, looking back, but it was for sure an experience that I will always cherish.
This has to be tied with Tekken 3 for my favorite in the series. I played a ton of 3 in middle school, but it was in my early 20s with Tekken 6, not SF4, that I learned how awesome it could be to truly play a fighting game on a competitive level. This culminated with MLG DC in 2010 when I housed Knee and Nin for a couple of days following the tournament. I took them over to my buddies house and some other players showed up for games with Nin (Knee crashed out on his couch and didn’t budge for the entirety of the session), following morning I took them to the airport. They gave me the Harada signed HRAP3 they won for the hospitality, it was super rad.
I play tekken 6 and this game where Jin is the anti-villian of the game is much of a balance of good and evil in him. He knows what he done was unforgivable but doing to get azazel to arrive to take the devil gene down was a slight impossibility since the birth of the gene is in him.
There's no anti about it lol. He causes unspeakable atrocities to wake Azazel to destroy it... but it wouldn't have woken up if Jin hadn't done every war crime. Fuck Jin. Blame it on corruption from Devil Jin, it's the only way to rehab the boy.
Jin before Tekken 6: "I hate the Mishima blood in my veins, I curse the Devil Gene's existence, and will dedicate everything to stopping both." Jin during Tekken 6: "Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai..." Jin after Tekken 6: " Ah, Eto...Bleh..."
I think the biggest problem with tekken 6 was not that jin was made to be a bad guy, but the fact the story was so forced and so badly executed, so it's hard to hate jin because the reason for him starting the war was so dumb, and it's hard to like him because of it too, so it'svery hard to understand how you shoukd feel about his character, he is a war criminal, but the reason was so forced, it'shard to accept, no wonder t7 and t8 kinda try to minimize t6 impact on the story. If I were to fix the execution of the story without changing the story much, I would've made it so that azazel was bound to awaken in t6 story, not that he would've awakened only when suffering increases, but like azazel is bound to awaken then and there no matter what happens, and then I would have jin start world war 3 so that he would get stronger thanks to the suffering of the world because of his devil gene (the devil gene so far has been explained so little that it would make sense if it gets stronger the more jin sins), this would've made much more sense and the war would've actually been inevitable, cause then it would've been either the whole world gets destroyed by azazel, or jin starts world war 3 to get strong enough to beat him, it's not that different from the actual t6 story, but it already makes more sense and it'seasier to understand jin's point of view, instead we got, jin starting a war cause maybe in the future azazel will wake up and he would've been to old to beat him.
Jin and Zafina note in T6 that due to him & Kazuya ("2 dark stars") clashing in T4, Azazel was already awoken in spirit & would manifest into the world T5 has Azazel (supposed to be Jinpachi pre-retcon) convincing Jin in his head with his words and plaguing him with nightmares till he couldn't take any more to start the war From his POV, it's either Kazuya (prob won't help lol) or him who'd be able to kill Azazel in the present or the future since only 2 of them have the Devil Gene
Tekken 5 fue mi primer juego de Tekken y la primera vez que vi algo de Tekken antes de saber qué era esa saga, fue un vídeo en TH-cam que me encontré aleatoriamente y era la selección de personajes de Tekken 6 y gameplays de cada personaje. Amo a ambos juegos, Tekken 6 por darme a conocer la saga y Tekken 5 por ser mi primer juego. También tengo un cariño especial a Tekken Tag 2 y Tekken 7. Estoy deseando que llegue Tekken 8 para disfrutarlo como hice con sus anteriores entregas
Tekken 6 was my first Tekken game and I really enjoy it. Looking back, the scenario was indeed slow but man I enjoy the beat them up of it so much! I also love that you can put your main fighter on the title screen with a stage of your choice. You bet I choose Electric Fountain!
Back in the day, I tried _so hard_ to enjoy campaign scenario, to the point that I spent days grinding that Nightmare Train level on Hardest. The duplicate drop rate and 90 second load times were _really_ spicy. I'd like to see a more polished Tekken Force mode in T8, even as a DLC add-on.
Few things Max missed out on because Scenario Campaign gated a lot of it. -In scenario campaign, your healthbar, attack power, and other things were affected by the clothes you wore that would drop in mission in scenario campaign. -Alisa has an outrageous AI during her fight against her. (Look up Tekken 6 vs Alisa Scenario Campaign) Her chainsaws have a high chance to freeze the player going against her. -This game is the origin of the Jin doing his infinite Electrics and the AI can just loop you in it if he wants to in scenario campaign. -With each copy of Tekken, there was a Church's Chicken coupon in it with each physical copy of the game. -Scenario campaign also had Co-op! Sadly, it came later in the game's cycle, and it acted as an alternative if you wanted to get cash for customization easily and items for your base game. It was only 10 stages, but they were pretty long. Also Co Op's progress did not tie to the main scenario campaign progress either -Alisa's Double Rocket Punch (B,B, 1+2) could carry you through majority of scenario campaign without trying. -Jin's stance changes when going against him in scenario campaign and he gains devil jin's laser which has a high freeze chance as a status effect, while mental alertness gives him fire damage. -Among other things, this is the first (and possibly only game I think) Where Dragonov is confirmed he can speak if you play as him in the scenario campaign. It's only through text, but he's a selective mute. -Nancy, the Bonus boss, is the first character to have the Wallbounce Mechanic that we see now in Tekken 7. Think that's it. other than Azazel being laughably easy compared to Jinpachi. Only gimmick he has is the fact that he has no block animation, and he has True Ogre's Get Up comeback tool that punishes aggressive players.
I wanna mention to those who don't know that Tekken 6 is in PlayStation Portable. I played a heck to amount in that Console, just to realize I missed out a lot of content that was not present on PSP but present on PS3. Story mode in the PSP however is Character specific. Each character has their own ending and there is no huge campaign. The game pretty much wants you to finish the game with the entire roster to discover what each character's fates are or what happened to them afterwards.
The best thing about Scenario Campaign is that they went out of their way to give every character unique dialogue on every stage. A level of world and character building they've refused to go back to since.
I remember holding Tekken 6 tournaments in our classroom. Me and my friend would be bringing our PSPs and would invite anyone who wants to join. God, what a time😊😊😊
Tekken 6 was huge for the local arcade where i lived, it was the first fighting game cabinet that we had where both players were looking at the same screen, great fun before the arcade died
Since Jun returns to Tekken 8, do you think she's disapointed in Jin? Because of what he became in this game? He started a war worldwide, terrible consequences happened...
I think she may understand to what Jin has done.of course there are gonna be consequences for those things in which will lead to the real factor of what consequences kazuya will have if Jin manages to defeat kazuya. I doubt if Jun will purge kazuya because his redemption will be a different story than Jin.
I wish she at the very least tells him she's disappointed. Even if they do it in that "good mothers are always soft and comforting" bullshit (you better not be soft and comforting to your literal genocidal son, but whatever). Something from her to reinforce that he truly lost himself there and that whatever he was trying to accomplish wasn't worth the suffering of others.
I honestly think they should have kept the Tekken 4 version of Tekken Force. It was just more fun to me. Sure you could use weapons in 6 if I remember correctly, but it just felt more rewarding doing all of your moves fighting multiple enemies. Now imagine Tekken 7 mechanics with Tekken 4 Force. I would play that all day.
T6's Bruce Irving was such a good character, and the best version of that character. I've been really annoyed that he hasn't come back since. No T7 version, and it doesn't seem he'll be back for 8, and I'm kinda salty about it. My main vanished from the roster, and his 'replacements' are just not good (for me): Josie and Bryan Fury, maybe Fuhkumram all pale in comparison to Bruce, at least for my style of play (mid-range with a long reach and decent speed)
His Tekken 2 iteration is better by a country mile! Best character in Tekken 2 and its not even close. That being said. He is also the best character in Tekken 6 depending on who you ask.
The best way to play scenario arcade campaign, is to not play Lars, instead at the beginning, you have the option to select a character that you can use through the whole campaign. Use your favorite, use a Mishima, use king and armor king, literally anyone more interesting than Lars because in each level and boss fight, your selected character has their own dialogue throughout the campaign. King can’t talk, but you can read his dialogue with Alisa about the war. You can have devil jin fight Kazuya and have cool as hell interactions before a big boss fight. Shit is so cool. And funny enough, dragonouv still won’t say anything throughout the whole thing
Also, really funny thing but I got to point out: Bob in T7 has almost the exact same kit as he did in T6. Like, everything except d1 being -10 on block now, T7 Bob is T6 Bob at his prime, and thanks to the overall power boost the rest of the cast got, Bob is only like, Top 15 or Top 20.
Customization was literally the best. Literally top, you could change almost anything and each character had their own stuff that was made just for them.
This is the Tekken that really got me into the franchise. Like yeah, Of course I played Tekken 3 as a kid, just like everybody else. But this was the one where I started learning combos and all the rest of it. For that reason, this game holds a special place for me, even though it is, admittedly, quite the mess at times.
I bought Tekken 6 back in the day and played the hell out of it. By myself, because I have no friends, but that's beside the point. I think it's worth noting that T6 was the first time Tekken was available for Xbox when it was previously Playstation only. Tekken 6 is also the game I immediately think of when I hear people complain about the lack of a Tekken Force mode in T7. Tekken 6 had, basically, a bigger, better Tekken Force mode in the form of Scenario mode, and none ya'll played it. One of the things I find weird about Tekken 6 is the majority of the characters returning from Tekken 5 didn't get outfit redesigns.
So my first experience with this game is pretty funny. I played it on psp first, which doesn't have the scenario campaign. It only has arcade and a story mode, which is just a shorter arcade with prologue and cutscenes for each character. So when I went through that, Jin had more cutscenes than the rest and I figured his was the canon ending. You can imagine my surprise when I read about the actual story on wikipedia.
Tekken 6 is one of my favorite games of all time. Along with the graphics the bound and the faster movement the game felt next gen at the time despite its flaws. I know Scenario Campaign wasn't liked by everyone, but I enjoyed it. I had the PS3 and PSP versions.
Feel like tekken 6 has one of the most underrated soundtracks and easily one of the best probably my number 1. Sure everyone knows electric fountain and the sheep stage but then we get fallen colony or mystical forest, easily 2 of the best songs in the series . Think this game nailed it when it comes to balancing electronic and organic sounds in music
Yeah, scenario mode... if you play the PSP release, you can get the scenario mode endings faster, I don't think the main ending of that mode is in the PSP but still, along with 3 is my favorite so far (and Tag 2).
Did Jin start World War 3? Damn right he did. Why did he start it?To awaken Azazel and destroy it,in hopes of riding of his devil gene That plan didn't work and Jin FULLY realizes that Not only is he planing to atone for what he did,but i'm fairly certain that Tekken 8 will be the LAST time we'll see Jin,because of his clear intentions of not surviving 'till the end. It's amazing how people just can't understand the basic outline of the story like this
I was in Japan for a month back during the Summer of 2008 and entered a Tekken 6 tournament at the Namco Tower in Kyoto. I remember having to fight Bob for the first time and getting obliterated by him. I judged a book by its cover and my Nina and Kaz paid the price. When I got back it was great to see that Super Arcade had the game back home in so cal. I loved the noir cab when I first saw it and now I have 6, 7 and Tag 2 in their own noirs (thanks college for getting me a career). Game Saru on TH-cam sells the cabs and boards ❤ This game holds a special place in my heart.
I love the Namco Noir cab. I spent so much time playing Tekken 6 at Sunnyvale Golfland back in 2008/2009 on a Namco Noir. I still have my Bob and Leo player data/ranking cards, although they are pretty faded now.
@@PaulHindt if you ever wanted to get one Gamesaru (on TH-cam) has them. That’s awesome though that you still have them. I kept mine, but they got lost. I bought some new ones from a forum, but they don’t work anymore due to the servers being down. Golfland was always one of those places I wanted to visit :) I remember Capcom did a lot of their test there I think…. I read somewhere
As much as I loved tekken 6, I was not a fan of this storyline, this whole cold hearted jin phase and "imma sink the world into oblivion to fight an evil god" thing was really left field, but to harada's credit, scenario campaign was fun and fighting Nancy and azazel were fun both af
The PSP port of T6 was my proper introduction to the franchise, it was such a great time. I sank so many hours on it to grind for cosmetics and online ranks
I had T6 on PSP and was really bummed that I didn't get the scenario campaign. I didn't own a PS3 at the time so I didnt know that you couldnt just play Arcade to get the story endings. The PSP version just had that.
Tekken 6 is imo the most underrated game in the series. Yeah it has some problems like the story, and balance like Bobfest, but this game did a lot of good too, like the most comprehensive and detailed customization mode, beautiful stages, Coop scenario campaign, and while the bound system was pretty broken it really opened up a ton of characters combo potential. One of my hopes is that this game gets some type of rerelease with net play included, I think a lot of people will reevaluate this game more positively.
Can't remember another fighting game that character assassinated its protagonist as bad as this one did. If they wanted to give Jin a "villain" arc, surely there was a better way than this. He could still end up making some unpopular decisions "for the greater good", but this made no sense to who he was. Jin was never an "ends justify the means" type of person, least of all to this scale. Still makes me sad all these years later.
Also , I am pretty sure T6 was the first Tekken game developed on the Unreal Engine, so this entry was unfortunate in that it was the first game on a brand-new engine for the Dev team. They definitely learned a thing or two by the time T7 rolled around.
Okay so on 13:53 for me it's different because I had Tekken 6 on the Psp and it doesn't have the scenario campaign and instead it has story battle so yeah basically I just choose any character and from there you fight like a lot of characters depending on the story and iirc correctly you just get the ending. it's not like on Tekken 5 where from time to time after battling you get these unique character cut-scene of them interacting and stuff then proceeds to fight. Then after a while get the ending for this one you fight until the final battle (Honestly it was mostly Azazel with a few exceptions as usual). And yeah the shortest one on story mode is literally Jin the only sad part about the story mode Jin is you don't get to play the "Boss Jin" you always play on the Arcade mode which was insane that one from time to time.
@@majorlazor5058 I get your stance but nothing Heihachi or Kazuya did would’ve contributed to a world war. Heihachi actually achieved world peace or came close to it after Tekken 2.
Man, Tekken 6 was my first fighting game. Then when Soulcalibur 4 came out I picked that up because it was also by Namco and it had Yoshimitsu. I'd definitely play T6 scenario campaign before I ever touch Tekken 7 narrator's journey.

Ah yes the Tekken where the Geneva convention was broken by the main character so he can fight his literal demons.
To Jin they were the Geneva suggestions
I was honestly confused when T7 brought that up as a plot point. All I remember from T6 is playing Lars in the Story mode and being pissed off that it just ended with Jin taking care of everything anyway.
TEKKEN 6: Tries to make me believe Jin is Hitler
TEKKEN 7: Tries to make me believe Heihachi is a tragic character
TEKKEN 8: Tries to make me believe Kazuya is worse than Satan
TEKKEN 9: Gonna make you believe Reina is the anti-christ
Always found it kind of interesting that the Tekken 6 trailers with Jin in the motorcycle and fighting Kazuya that doesn’t really happen in the main story is pretty much now the plot for Tekken 8, Tekken 8 even starts with Jin in the motorcycle and fighting Kazuya.
They should have included the exact same T6 BR intro as the opening for T8 but make it playable when the opening ends where Jin meets Kaz at the top of the G Corp helipad. I can't believe we've waited 15 whole years to see this fight finally take place. I just hope it was worth the wait.
@Anw4rr10r Didn't the G-Corp helipad get space lazered tho last game?
Eh...they probably made a new one
Tekken 6 is the blueprint in many cases
First.....
I hope that Jin makes a public apology for this.
"I've made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgement"
Jin: sorry not sorry. I did not account for azazel's soul being immortal I thought he would die if I killed him. My bad.

Classic Hogan heel turn brotha.. Jin went Bash At The Beach 96 on us back in Tekken 6, he joined Kazuya and Heihachi and was the third man, all three were heels at that point
Classic Vince ruining everything for his amusement 💀
@@xXxTwiggyI’d say more Stone Cold in 2001 becoming a bad guy
Jin: " I've made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven, I'm simply here to apologize"
Its kinda hilarious jin was just having a normal motorcycle dictator stroll when all of a sudden he casually dodges some casual missiles
Comparing Tekken 7 to Tekken 6 really highlights how important patches are to the health of a fighting game. The two games share basically the same bones, but for one of them, the devs were able to make balance adjustments based on real-time data and player sentiment, and it made a huge difference in how good the game feels to play. I genuinely think Bandai Namco has the best balancing division in the industry.
Tekken without patches = unbalanced piece of shit
Tekken with patches = unbalanced piece os shit
The only difference is OP characters cycling in T7, that's all.
@@andrewnueslayer3848 No. Tekken 7's OP characters were never as bad as the series' worst, and the power level of the whole cast was fairly comparable.
Everyone: "Jin is the hero we need."
Miguel: "😡😡😡😡😡"
Also Jin: Playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded .44 Magnum.
As Woolie put it; Ryu never Obama drone strike'd a wedding.
I really miss that Era of gaming where games were just feature complete on release. Tekken 6 was crazy full of content
And without freaking guest characters, which looks like GT-R in medieval castle.
Do you miss waiting 2 years for it before coming to consoles
Going from T4 & T5 into Tekken 6 Jin still gives me tonel whiplash. Jin clearly was "the good Mishima" at that point so they should have given a better reason for him to be the villain of T6 (fuck filler Azazel, he's just Zafina's claw hand now).
He was already struggling with his inner devil in T5, Jin should have had a situation like Eddie Brock & Venom where he would be influenced by the devil gene to cause world war 3, Azazel would just be an excuse to fight and justify the chaos. Just an idea.
I agree, Jin was pretty cold towards Alisa’s death when she was in Lars’s arms. Maybe it was the devil gene talking.
_"Fuck filler Azazel, he's just Zafina's claw hand now"_ - idk why but this made me laugh
That interpretation of Venom is the least compelling one though, which is a problem I had with Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac. Venom has basically no character, and besides his voice and appearance is one of the most shallow depictions of Venom yet.
He isn't just her hand though he slowly but surely taking over her completely, which is why she now has purple highlights.
I just can't wait for T8 portraying Kazuya as a flat generic villain, so he carries the blame of every bad omen to date, Jin kills him and everyone proceed to act like T6 was just the delusion of a stoner having visions.
Best comment
better yet, the devil inside him was controlling his actions and he Doesn't remember, lol. that would be funny
Jun is in the game I don’t see that happening lmao.
@@earlsocksiii5174‘Jin says he doesn’t remember starting World War III because he was drunk on the devil gene, now chooses to live as a gay man.’

THE SHEEP STAGE!!! Absolutely loved this stage and the music cracks me up EVERY time!
Finally, some people who accept the fact that Jin Kazama is a war criminal and deserves to be punished for that !
I mean yeah some others know this now.
THE WW3GUY JIN KAZAMA 😎👌
Considering what the characters did in this series and that Jun is looking to make even KAZUYA turn to good, i doubt he'll ever face anything
Jin's a victim of bad writing and weird direction. It isn't exactly his fault.
@@Beforezzz agreed. They wrote themselves in a corner making Jin take this route and now has to try to save his image as a protagonist.
Bro is acting like Jin killed his family in real life.
I think Jin becoming a war criminal is secretly brilliant because at least we're still talking about it. But I might be biased because he's not the kind of character I would play, lol.
No it isnt. 😂 If Vince Russo wrote so much garbage for the wwe and WCW, just because we still talk about it doesn't mean it was any good. 😭
It’s a dogshit twist, just because we’re still talking about how bad it was doesn’t make it any less dogshit
@ It’s better then the game being boring and everyone forgetting about it. It sticks out to me as one of the only things in the story that’s halfway interesting.
I played this Game on my PSP, and it was my introduction to Tekken, since then I became a huge fan
Like Tekken 5, the psp ports were phenomenal.
What urks me is that Jin so far doesn't seem to have any acknowledgement about how his goal to eliminate Azazel to erase the Devil Gene had failed. Yes he did kill the demon but he STILL has his devil gene so all the chaos he made, all the lives his ruined and his descent to villainy was for nothing...and this is NEVER discussed or brought up.
Not to mention the inconsistency in his character regarding his morale and what he truely thinks on what he done.
In the Tekken 8 story intro first look we got; Kazuya rightfully tells him he started the war and Jin is all like "All to awaken a great threat for me to kill!" To try and justify what he did as if he learned NOTHING but when he looks at the fleeing people around him he laments about not being able to save everyone...says the man who started the war which costed lives so he has no right to say such things...
Like you don't start a war, regardless of your intentoins, ESPECAILLY if you are going to pretend to be a villain...only to try and be like "I can't save anyone!" pretty much gives you no room to talk.
Seriously I won't be suprised if the game ends where after Jin (supposedly) kills Kazuya; the world will just instantly forgive him and Jin would be like "I can live in peace now...".
I know it's typical Japaneses storytelling and all, redemption and forgivness and all that but Jin started WWIII, ruined lives (and even had some killed indirectly like Miguel's sister for example) and killing Kazuya won't undo any of that.
"but when he looks at the fleeing people around him he laments about not being able to save everyone...says the man who started the war which costed lives so he has no right to say such things..."
God I was literally screaming this when that scene pop up like are actually fucking kidding me right now!? Bro, you know how many lives men, women, children etc. you destroyed for you to say something like that? Miguel lost his sister to for this and as much as people didn't like the narrator dude from the Tekken 7 story he really was the "average Joe" who had to deal with aftermath of losing his whole family to this psycho literal millions are just like him.
Yall take taking this story to seriously just wait for tekken 8 and see what happens@shocksconstant
You're not making any logical sense. Just being emotional
You missed the part where he mentions atoning for his sins
@rainofkhandaq6678 oh my god, shut up.
Like, it would have made even more sense if he genuinely turned heel because of devil gene influence. (Not that this would have been much better, mind you.)
This plotline and plot twist turned Jin into a massive idiot.
His plan didn't even work. Azazel ends up alive.
More like poorly executed
@toledochristianmatthew9919 and the seal on Zafina is so very weak, so her and Claudio has to deal with that in T8.
The end does not justify the means.
Similar to the case of Itachi Uchiha (Naruto) and Ash Crimson (KOF)
Characters who wanted to solve everything by their own hands without asking for help and in the end instead of solving the problem they only made things worse.
People call them heroes when their actions say otherwise.
If you wanted to use the excuse that Jin was corrupted, then that would just be a shallow trait for a character's motivation. This was just...very unnecessary for someone like Jin after his Tekken 4 ending.
"PATRICK, we saved the city!!!"
-Jin, as everything is burning...
👁👄👁
I don't even think he got that moment. He defeated Azazel, lost conciousness, then as soon as he woke up again, he realized he massively fucked up.
The campaign scenario is still fun to do. Wish they had a Tekken force mode on Tekken 8.
There is leaks of that,for tekken 8
They have no modes in Tekken 8
story mode will be jam packed anyways
@@iskalleytell me you haven't seen anything about Tekken 8 without telling me you haven't seen anything about Tekken 8 😂. This game has some good ass modes right now. Wtf are you talking about?
@@mediumrarebeef8426don’t give him attention. It’s obvious troll bait.
Tekken 6 was my very first tekken because it came with my ps3 when I first got it. And i remember enjoying it quite a bit, I've played a ton of it. This game is the reason I'm still a fan of the series to this day.
My 1st psp game I came late to the party pulled the heck out if it. Still do.
i like that in Tekken 8 its all "we gotta put a stop to Kazuya destroying/ruling the world! Jin is our only hope!"
when 90% of the problems were started by Jin in the first place
They also completely ignore Jin being suicidal.
He literally days he wants to die after beating or killing Kazuya and everyone is just cool with it.
Jin's 'allies' are cold man.
I was obsessed with Tekken 6 back in the day. I remember those long rainy days with the game... so much fun!!
I actually liked the Story Campaign, but yeah, not making Arena mode unlocked from the beginning was a mistake.
About Arcade, I don't remember how it was, but it should've been an infinite tower, like Treasure Mode.
The customization was CRAZY.
And my favorite, Asuka, actually got powered up and was so, so much better to play compared to Tekken 5.
About online, man, I live in South America and had a shitty ADSL connection back in those days and I still was able to play and chat... never really had a problem. Maybe I just got lucky.
Anyway, one of my favorites. I can't measure how much time I spent in this game trying to unlock absolutely everything!!
P.S. Let's hope Tekken 8 is as good as it or better! Especially for single players.
USA often has problems with online games due to how large the country is and the geography of the country
Bro The point about the rainy days... I felt that. I lived that.
I loved Tekken 6, i still love it after playing TK7, having Jin Kazama as a mid boss was so badass, with his own entrance image and cutscene and stage oof, and having Nancy as his protector (which is a good thing that she is a bonus round)
The tekken 6 psp version is free to play on ps4/psp, it doesnt have the campaign but it do has the story mode of every character and the classic arcade mode
It was thanks to this game i could main Jin since if u advance through the ranks, the mid-boss just kick your shit up, and u could leaen some combos from him
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise that I chose Devil Jin as my first character to play Scenario Campaign with. Law doesn't unlocked until almost right before Heihachi and Devil Jin is locked behind a secret post game level that's basically if Streets of Rage had a Kaizo mode. Unlocking DVJ organically the way the devs intended should be the big new TH-cam challenge for lets players.
As much as T3 makes up my mental image of Tekken, I've found drawings I did on school notebook paper that I assumed where DBZ until I noticed the fist studs, Bloodline Rebellion and the late 00s fighting game revival was really where my awareness of Tekken starts. I remember articles with Harada talking about how they put an effort into making sure the game didn't just look good in motion, but that screen shots and stills looked good. It was a hell of a learning curve coming from SC2/3, GGXX, and 3S. Story mode ended up being the big hook initially.
Jin gotta bust out the ukulele for this one.
Ukeule?
...U-Kelly...?
What kind of word is that...
Alright nevermind I can read excellent I'm just going at 2%
Arcade mode endings will always be one of my fav aspects of Tekken to me..
"Hey Kazama, remember I kicked your ass back there!" -Hwoarang, T4
Jin and Hwoarang speaking English for that single ending in the entire series is hysterical
One highlight of story mode: Heihachi catching a bullet in his teeth.
I think it's pretty reasonable narratively for Jin to have a great downfall to rock bottom so he can build his way back up after. My main problem is he threw away everything for a weird crystal dragon that had no build-up, wasn't doing anything and achieved little. I don't it's unsalvageable though. It can work if the consequences of Jins world war actively follow him around and aren't immediately forgiven. That's why I think Miguel has a more plot potential than first appears, his feelings of revenge are absolutely understandable. Zafina is also the most interesting thing they've done with Azazel.
Miguel as of post-Tekken 7 decided to wait till Jin is at his most hopeful and driven before he decides to take his revenge on him (after easily defeating him)
@@Grizzexploderis that actually canon or just a what if ending?
Agreed- Bringing Jin to a low so he can build himself back up is cool on paper, but MAN Azazel is just such a massive fat load of NOTHING. He just doesn't feel like a cool villain or as someone that merits Jin's drastic actions.
Agreed. I like the concept of Jin's motivation for starting WWIII but it comes completely out of left field, making Azazael feel very underwhelming. No build up, and upon death just sputters out.
Tekken 6 will always have a special place in my heart cuz it's my first Tekken game. Here in the Philippines, fighting games are not popular, but Tekken is, especially Tekken 6. Guaranteed in any arcade you would step in, there would be a Tekken 6 machine. So many memories with this one, I love Tekken 6
I like that the whole point of the war was to bring Azazel pit and get rid of the devil gene by destroying him. It doesn't excuse any of Jin's actions, and i think it helps showcase some of his own personal selfishness
It definitely showcases that but the problem now is how Jin is being instantly forgiven and he's not facing any consequences for his actions.
Fun fact!
There was ONE costume dlc for this game. It isn't available anymore because it was a yoshimitsu costume referencing the tube samurai bit from the penny arcade webcomic with a pac-man image on his back, so the license must have expired at some point. I think you got it by either pre-ordering the game or paying like 2 bucks if you didn't.
15:32 You nailed it. T6 was technically a full package, but the charm was absent (I can't really explain it).
Great that almost the whole video through the Fallen Colony music is running in the background. The one thing I remember T6 for, this track is amazing.
Jin better make the most perfect TH-cam apology for his atrocities, or I’m cancelling him
He made a severe lapse in judgment
He's preparing the Miles Morales apology pose meme.
Hopefully he doesn't pull out the ukelele
5:51, wow no censor, im impressed 😅
Fun fact: in the PSP version of Tekken 6, the arcade mode works normally and you get the characters endings without needing to go trough all that fluff. There's no scenario campaign there tho.
And the PSP version is the one I grew up with back in middle school.
Loved the PSP version
Back in the day, I CANNOT believe I can say that for this game, but Tekken 6 was one of the first games we got when we got our Xbox 360 in 2010. I still remember my first experience and thinking "Wow, this game looks so good!" It was unbelievable to me at the time. Now, I was still young enough to where I didn't really care about really learning how to play the game, me, siblings, and friends were all still button mashing. I how to owe a TON to this game though, because I learned how to play fighting games. I didn't start really learning and eventually competing until MKX, but after that, I went back to learn Tekken 6, and from then on, Tekken has been my main fighting game.
Just like Tekken 5, I owe so much of my fighting game life to this game, and that intro movie gives me goosebumps every fucking time. The game may not have been great, looking back, but it was for sure an experience that I will always cherish.
This has to be tied with Tekken 3 for my favorite in the series. I played a ton of 3 in middle school, but it was in my early 20s with Tekken 6, not SF4, that I learned how awesome it could be to truly play a fighting game on a competitive level.
This culminated with MLG DC in 2010 when I housed Knee and Nin for a couple of days following the tournament. I took them over to my buddies house and some other players showed up for games with Nin (Knee crashed out on his couch and didn’t budge for the entirety of the session), following morning I took them to the airport. They gave me the Harada signed HRAP3 they won for the hospitality, it was super rad.
I play tekken 6 and this game where Jin is the anti-villian of the game is much of a balance of good and evil in him. He knows what he done was unforgivable but doing to get azazel to arrive to take the devil gene down was a slight impossibility since the birth of the gene is in him.
There's no anti about it lol. He causes unspeakable atrocities to wake Azazel to destroy it... but it wouldn't have woken up if Jin hadn't done every war crime. Fuck Jin. Blame it on corruption from Devil Jin, it's the only way to rehab the boy.
Jin changeling his inner Tony Hayworth in T8 like "Sorry" when confronted about T6.
Still amazed to this day that Tekken 6 was ported to the PSP... Yes, the Tekken installment that Jin went Lelouch to defeat Azazel...
Jin before Tekken 6: "I hate the Mishima blood in my veins, I curse the Devil Gene's existence, and will dedicate everything to stopping both."
Jin during Tekken 6: "Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai..."
Jin after Tekken 6: " Ah, Eto...Bleh..."
I think the biggest problem with tekken 6 was not that jin was made to be a bad guy, but the fact the story was so forced and so badly executed, so it's hard to hate jin because the reason for him starting the war was so dumb, and it's hard to like him because of it too, so it'svery hard to understand how you shoukd feel about his character, he is a war criminal, but the reason was so forced, it'shard to accept, no wonder t7 and t8 kinda try to minimize t6 impact on the story.
If I were to fix the execution of the story without changing the story much, I would've made it so that azazel was bound to awaken in t6 story, not that he would've awakened only when suffering increases, but like azazel is bound to awaken then and there no matter what happens,
and then I would have jin start world war 3 so that he would get stronger thanks to the suffering of the world because of his devil gene (the devil gene so far has been explained so little that it would make sense if it gets stronger the more jin sins), this would've made much more sense and the war would've actually been inevitable, cause then it would've been either the whole world gets destroyed by azazel, or jin starts world war 3 to get strong enough to beat him, it's not that different from the actual t6 story, but it already makes more sense and it'seasier to understand jin's point of view, instead we got, jin starting a war cause maybe in the future azazel will wake up and he would've been to old to beat him.
Jin and Zafina note in T6 that due to him & Kazuya ("2 dark stars") clashing in T4, Azazel was already awoken in spirit & would manifest into the world
T5 has Azazel (supposed to be Jinpachi pre-retcon) convincing Jin in his head with his words and plaguing him with nightmares till he couldn't take any more to start the war
From his POV, it's either Kazuya (prob won't help lol) or him who'd be able to kill Azazel in the present or the future since only 2 of them have the Devil Gene
Tekken 5 fue mi primer juego de Tekken y la primera vez que vi algo de Tekken antes de saber qué era esa saga, fue un vídeo en TH-cam que me encontré aleatoriamente y era la selección de personajes de Tekken 6 y gameplays de cada personaje.
Amo a ambos juegos, Tekken 6 por darme a conocer la saga y Tekken 5 por ser mi primer juego.
También tengo un cariño especial a Tekken Tag 2 y Tekken 7.
Estoy deseando que llegue Tekken 8 para disfrutarlo como hice con sus anteriores entregas
Tekken 6 was my first Tekken game and I really enjoy it. Looking back, the scenario was indeed slow but man I enjoy the beat them up of it so much! I also love that you can put your main fighter on the title screen with a stage of your choice. You bet I choose Electric Fountain!
"I don't give a damn about the Ganeva convention" - Jin, Tekken 6
*the Geneva Suggestion
Back in the day, I tried _so hard_ to enjoy campaign scenario, to the point that I spent days grinding that Nightmare Train level on Hardest. The duplicate drop rate and 90 second load times were _really_ spicy. I'd like to see a more polished Tekken Force mode in T8, even as a DLC add-on.
Few things Max missed out on because Scenario Campaign gated a lot of it.
-In scenario campaign, your healthbar, attack power, and other things were affected by the clothes you wore that would drop in mission in scenario campaign.
-Alisa has an outrageous AI during her fight against her. (Look up Tekken 6 vs Alisa Scenario Campaign) Her chainsaws have a high chance to freeze the player going against her.
-This game is the origin of the Jin doing his infinite Electrics and the AI can just loop you in it if he wants to in scenario campaign.
-With each copy of Tekken, there was a Church's Chicken coupon in it with each physical copy of the game.
-Scenario campaign also had Co-op! Sadly, it came later in the game's cycle, and it acted as an alternative if you wanted to get cash for customization easily and items for your base game. It was only 10 stages, but they were pretty long. Also Co Op's progress did not tie to the main scenario campaign progress either
-Alisa's Double Rocket Punch (B,B, 1+2) could carry you through majority of scenario campaign without trying.
-Jin's stance changes when going against him in scenario campaign and he gains devil jin's laser which has a high freeze chance as a status effect, while mental alertness gives him fire damage.
-Among other things, this is the first (and possibly only game I think) Where Dragonov is confirmed he can speak if you play as him in the scenario campaign. It's only through text, but he's a selective mute.
-Nancy, the Bonus boss, is the first character to have the Wallbounce Mechanic that we see now in Tekken 7.
Think that's it. other than Azazel being laughably easy compared to Jinpachi. Only gimmick he has is the fact that he has no block animation, and he has True Ogre's Get Up comeback tool that punishes aggressive players.
I wanna mention to those who don't know that Tekken 6 is in PlayStation Portable. I played a heck to amount in that Console, just to realize I missed out a lot of content that was not present on PSP but present on PS3.
Story mode in the PSP however is Character specific. Each character has their own ending and there is no huge campaign. The game pretty much wants you to finish the game with the entire roster to discover what each character's fates are or what happened to them afterwards.
I couldn't edit my comment fsr.
I meant to say that PSP doesn't have a scenario mode and just opens up all character's story modes.
The best thing about Scenario Campaign is that they went out of their way to give every character unique dialogue on every stage. A level of world and character building they've refused to go back to since.
I remember holding Tekken 6 tournaments in our classroom. Me and my friend would be bringing our PSPs and would invite anyone who wants to join. God, what a time😊😊😊
Tekken 6 was huge for the local arcade where i lived, it was the first fighting game cabinet that we had where both players were looking at the same screen, great fun before the arcade died
Man.....Kai's art for the thumbnails is so god damm cool.
Since Jun returns to Tekken 8, do you think she's disapointed in Jin? Because of what he became in this game? He started a war worldwide, terrible consequences happened...
I think she may understand to what Jin has done.of course there are gonna be consequences for those things in which will lead to the real factor of what consequences kazuya will have if Jin manages to defeat kazuya. I doubt if Jun will purge kazuya because his redemption will be a different story than Jin.
I wish she at the very least tells him she's disappointed. Even if they do it in that "good mothers are always soft and comforting" bullshit (you better not be soft and comforting to your literal genocidal son, but whatever). Something from her to reinforce that he truly lost himself there and that whatever he was trying to accomplish wasn't worth the suffering of others.

I honestly think they should have kept the Tekken 4 version of Tekken Force. It was just more fun to me. Sure you could use weapons in 6 if I remember correctly, but it just felt more rewarding doing all of your moves fighting multiple enemies. Now imagine Tekken 7 mechanics with Tekken 4 Force. I would play that all day.
T6's Bruce Irving was such a good character, and the best version of that character. I've been really annoyed that he hasn't come back since. No T7 version, and it doesn't seem he'll be back for 8, and I'm kinda salty about it. My main vanished from the roster, and his 'replacements' are just not good (for me): Josie and Bryan Fury, maybe Fuhkumram all pale in comparison to Bruce, at least for my style of play (mid-range with a long reach and decent speed)
Bruce's wall carry and damage in rage was just off the charts, one of the most fun characters in this game.
His Tekken 2 iteration is better by a country mile! Best character in Tekken 2 and its not even close. That being said. He is also the best character in Tekken 6 depending on who you ask.
Really hope he comes back in Tekken 8! Such a cool character! Kazuyas Right hand man and he’s just absent from 7 and 8… Really felt disjointed.
The best way to play scenario arcade campaign, is to not play Lars, instead at the beginning, you have the option to select a character that you can use through the whole campaign. Use your favorite, use a Mishima, use king and armor king, literally anyone more interesting than Lars because in each level and boss fight, your selected character has their own dialogue throughout the campaign. King can’t talk, but you can read his dialogue with Alisa about the war. You can have devil jin fight Kazuya and have cool as hell interactions before a big boss fight. Shit is so cool. And funny enough, dragonouv still won’t say anything throughout the whole thing
Also, really funny thing but I got to point out: Bob in T7 has almost the exact same kit as he did in T6. Like, everything except d1 being -10 on block now, T7 Bob is T6 Bob at his prime, and thanks to the overall power boost the rest of the cast got, Bob is only like, Top 15 or Top 20.

Customization was literally the best. Literally top, you could change almost anything and each character had their own stuff that was made just for them.
Music slaps as usual. T6's content & customization was amazing!
The lighting was the best in this game.
I enjoyed it 😁
This is the Tekken that really got me into the franchise. Like yeah, Of course I played Tekken 3 as a kid, just like everybody else. But this was the one where I started learning combos and all the rest of it. For that reason, this game holds a special place for me, even though it is, admittedly, quite the mess at times.
Now the way combos work from 7 and 8 (with the corkscrew thing) is basically perfect for tekkem, I really do enjoy the bounce combo in 6.
I bought Tekken 6 back in the day and played the hell out of it. By myself, because I have no friends, but that's beside the point.
I think it's worth noting that T6 was the first time Tekken was available for Xbox when it was previously Playstation only. Tekken 6 is also the game I immediately think of when I hear people complain about the lack of a Tekken Force mode in T7. Tekken 6 had, basically, a bigger, better Tekken Force mode in the form of Scenario mode, and none ya'll played it. One of the things I find weird about Tekken 6 is the majority of the characters returning from Tekken 5 didn't get outfit redesigns.
Wow... the thumbnail is GLORIOUS!!
PSA: this one introduced the usable customization items ie: the swords, guns, etc.
So my first experience with this game is pretty funny. I played it on psp first, which doesn't have the scenario campaign. It only has arcade and a story mode, which is just a shorter arcade with prologue and cutscenes for each character. So when I went through that, Jin had more cutscenes than the rest and I figured his was the canon ending. You can imagine my surprise when I read about the actual story on wikipedia.
Jin "it's just a prank guys see the camera there"
Tekken 6 is one of my favorite games of all time. Along with the graphics the bound and the faster movement the game felt next gen at the time despite its flaws. I know Scenario Campaign wasn't liked by everyone, but I enjoyed it.
I had the PS3 and PSP versions.
Anyone else remember when Lars was randomly in Naruto Storm 2
It’s mainly because one of his costumes was designed by Masashi Kishimoto himself and it was popular.
Feel like tekken 6 has one of the most underrated soundtracks and easily one of the best probably my number 1. Sure everyone knows electric fountain and the sheep stage but then we get fallen colony or mystical forest, easily 2 of the best songs in the series . Think this game nailed it when it comes to balancing electronic and organic sounds in music
I say even azazel's chamber was very good, good boss music
@@MrSkipan loved azazel's chamber too, reminded me of dark souls music. Or the fist festival song was really good with the Spanish guitar
The full name of this game might as well be Tekken 6: The character assassination of Jin Kazama.
Yeah, scenario mode... if you play the PSP release, you can get the scenario mode endings faster, I don't think the main ending of that mode is in the PSP but still, along with 3 is my favorite so far (and Tag 2).
Did Jin start World War 3? Damn right he did.
Why did he start it?To awaken Azazel and destroy it,in hopes of riding of his devil gene
That plan didn't work and Jin FULLY realizes that
Not only is he planing to atone for what he did,but i'm fairly certain that Tekken 8 will be the LAST time we'll see Jin,because of his clear intentions of not surviving 'till the end.
It's amazing how people just can't understand the basic outline of the story like this
The issue is that they just brush it off. The characters don’t have any negative reaction to it after 6
I was in Japan for a month back during the Summer of 2008 and entered a Tekken 6 tournament at the Namco Tower in Kyoto.
I remember having to fight Bob for the first time and getting obliterated by him. I judged a book by its cover and my Nina and Kaz paid the price.
When I got back it was great to see that Super Arcade had the game back home in so cal.
I loved the noir cab when I first saw it and now I have 6, 7 and Tag 2 in their own noirs (thanks college for getting me a career).
Game Saru on TH-cam sells the cabs and boards ❤
This game holds a special place in my heart.
I love the Namco Noir cab. I spent so much time playing Tekken 6 at Sunnyvale Golfland back in 2008/2009 on a Namco Noir. I still have my Bob and Leo player data/ranking cards, although they are pretty faded now.
@@PaulHindt if you ever wanted to get one Gamesaru (on TH-cam) has them.
That’s awesome though that you still have them.
I kept mine, but they got lost.
I bought some new ones from a forum, but they don’t work anymore due to the servers being down. Golfland was always one of those places I wanted to visit :)
I remember Capcom did a lot of their test there I think…. I read somewhere
As much as I loved tekken 6, I was not a fan of this storyline, this whole cold hearted jin phase and "imma sink the world into oblivion to fight an evil god" thing was really left field, but to harada's credit, scenario campaign was fun and fighting Nancy and azazel were fun both af
It's a crime what happened to Tag 2. I'm not really sure what happened, but that game was so much fun when it came out and it makes me want a new one
The PSP port of T6 was my proper introduction to the franchise, it was such a great time. I sank so many hours on it to grind for cosmetics and online ranks
The best tekken soundtrack of all the games is tekken 6 so many core memories from elementary school playing this game😢
I had T6 on PSP and was really bummed that I didn't get the scenario campaign. I didn't own a PS3 at the time so I didnt know that you couldnt just play Arcade to get the story endings. The PSP version just had that.
the thumbnail art is amazing!!
Tekken 6 is imo the most underrated game in the series. Yeah it has some problems like the story, and balance like Bobfest, but this game did a lot of good too, like the most comprehensive and detailed customization mode, beautiful stages, Coop scenario campaign, and while the bound system was pretty broken it really opened up a ton of characters combo potential.
One of my hopes is that this game gets some type of rerelease with net play included, I think a lot of people will reevaluate this game more positively.
it's so ugly tho
Can't remember another fighting game that character assassinated its protagonist as bad as this one did. If they wanted to give Jin a "villain" arc, surely there was a better way than this. He could still end up making some unpopular decisions "for the greater good", but this made no sense to who he was. Jin was never an "ends justify the means" type of person, least of all to this scale. Still makes me sad all these years later.
Also , I am pretty sure T6 was the first Tekken game developed on the Unreal Engine, so this entry was unfortunate in that it was the first game on a brand-new engine for the Dev team. They definitely learned a thing or two by the time T7 rolled around.
Okay so on 13:53 for me it's different because I had Tekken 6 on the Psp and it doesn't have the scenario campaign and instead it has story battle so yeah basically I just choose any character and from there you fight like a lot of characters depending on the story and iirc correctly you just get the ending. it's not like on Tekken 5 where from time to time after battling you get these unique character cut-scene of them interacting and stuff then proceeds to fight. Then after a while get the ending for this one you fight until the final battle (Honestly it was mostly Azazel with a few exceptions as usual).
And yeah the shortest one on story mode is literally Jin the only sad part about the story mode Jin is you don't get to play the "Boss Jin" you always play on the Arcade mode which was insane that one from time to time.
I still say it was lazy writing for Jin to start WW3 just to draw out Azazel.
I won’t say lazy. I will it is poorly done.
But then again Tekken comes from a culture with a history of contributing to the start of a World War.
@@majorlazor5058 I get your stance but nothing Heihachi or Kazuya did would’ve contributed to a world war. Heihachi actually achieved world peace or came close to it after Tekken 2.
Pretty sure he was referring to Japan contributing to the start of WW2 @@pierrepowe326
it is. Fvck Harada
I totally agree with you. It also made absolutely no sense and against his character to do that
Karma is such a fuckin banger man. I'm so happy tekken 8 has a jukebox mode
maximillian starting with a goddamn DJ mix, this went HARD
People have mixed thoughts on this game, but many will agree that its PSP port was amazing.
Tekken 6 only had 1 piece of free dlc for yoshimitsu which was him in a silly cardboard costume. I think it was a pre order bonus and is delisted now
Man, Tekken 6 was my first fighting game. Then when Soulcalibur 4 came out I picked that up because it was also by Namco and it had Yoshimitsu.
I'd definitely play T6 scenario campaign before I ever touch Tekken 7 narrator's journey.
