The sheer scale and dialogue during the last moments do seem rather cheesy. But there's still a genuine earnestness to the way they portray Jin's attempt to move on from his hatred and self-loathing in order to embrace life that still speaks to me. The fact that they're so willing to forgive the guy who started freakin' WWIII is hard to swallow, but I can suspend my disbelief enough to appreciate the message of forgiveness and hope for tomorrow. It's kind of hokey, but it still feels like a proper solution to Jin's story if you're willing to go with the flow. It is kind of funny that simply having Jin cycle through his Okinawan Karate style, his T3 Mishima style, Jun's Kazama style and then combining them all into one cohesive style for the finale felt like a way more profound way of symbolizing him coming to terms with himself than when they had him literally combine his devil and Kazama powers to turn into some overdesigned Final Fantasy creature. With Jin, they had the opportunity to communicate the progression of his mental state, not with words, but through the most fundamental aspect of Tekken, its martial arts gameplay, and I am so glad that they took that chance.

T4 was my first and favorite Tekken. Angel Jin is exactly where I was hoping and thought he was headed years ago. I'm so happy to see him overcome his inner and literal demons.
@@stareater1870 Legendary Rare Angel Jin enjoyer & T4 fan, damn Also loved the teaser with Jun standing over a fully defeated Kazuya, super impactful stuff for him
@@radar4104 I'm a Kazuya hater from T4, since my first impression was just him being an evil mofo trying to just off Jin immediately for power. Also just as a Jin fanboy, lmao. But if he somehow gets a redemption arc, or becomes a halfway decent guy, I'm intrigued to see the direction they go.
@@stareater1870 Kazuya gets the bonus of looking cool af, and I say this having started following the events way later and working my way back lol. This game was so good for Jin & Jin enjoyers tho I feel like it's blatantly obvious the story's setting up for Kazuya & Jin reconciliation team up via Jun to fight Reina, she's the only one juiced up on the devil gene right now. She's for sure gonna be after Kazuya, and Jin will still be trying to get rid of the devil gene, effectively putting them on the same side. Now add how much of Jun's dialog is about saving the both of them, and how she appears over Kazuya once he's completely defeated, left with nothing. Dunno how much of a redemption arc it'll be, but a team up of sorts is 100% coming. Jun's gonna be trying to make her arcade ending real lol
Out of all the fighting game franchises you gotta love that Tekken is always so unapolagetically itself. It knows it's world is over the top and crazy, but it wears it like a badge of honor.
@@contra7631 True but like i think thats how most of these games shouold be same thing for anime for example you don't watch a lot of anime to just see regular shit. I mean sure you can there are some that are good but when it comes to fighting you wanna see something a bit over the top. Even if they are human you wanna see a bit beyond superhuman because that makes it cool. For example in real life there is no way you gonnan meet this many people that are this muscular, but that doesn't make it all of a sudden lame now if everyone in a video game has the perfect muscular body.
@@KwadDamyjSame. Tag2, and T3 are my favs. T3 was the first game I ever played, and I loved the party-like atmosphere of Tag2. Everything in Tag2 felt live a huge hype event, and I loved it.
This stream was tight. It's always cool in a story when after the big galactic powerup or giant bosses, we finish it up with two shirtless dudes having a punchup. And King in the war was real funny.
I don't really get the outdated British empire's measurement-system, or bald eagles and cheeseburgers, but their updated height and weight in T8 are 183cm and 87kg for Jin and 181cm and 85kg for Kazuya, which would give them BMIs of 26 and 25.9 going by a Calculator I used and thus they're slightly overweight purely due to the amount of muscle.

@@nyhtfall1969 id also make the argument that he got the whole devil gene thing from devilman/go nagai, harada is just a stealth otaku with a AAA budget to make games homaging his favorite media franchises
For my money as something of a fake Tekken-fan (it's probably my favourite fighting game franchise, despite how criminally little of it I've actually played) I dug the hell out of this story mode. The two protagonists' devil gene storyline culminating in the logical extreme of them duking it out with demigod powerups on a volcanic rock shot up into outer atmosphere and once they've crashed back down to earth that battle of gods transitioning into regular fisticuffs as the true resolution of the rivalry between two guys who are really good at punching, makes for a nice blend of differenet kinds of hype. It keeps that final duel constantly exciting and engaging, which is no mean feat for something that tecnically lasts for the entire last fifth of the whole campaign.
They have always leaned into supernatural stuff(except for T4 but that game was meh)but now they finally have the budget and tech to lean all the way in and I'm super happy. The angle vs devil fight was sick af. Tekken is at its best when it leans into over the top stuff.
@@imarock.7662tekken 4 definitely had it too. It’s where Kazuya gained full control over his devil gene wym 😂 and a hint that Jins devil gene could turn into an Angel after he whooped Kaz and heihachi
As a fan of Tekken since T4,im so happy with the story mode in this game. Im not even a big fan of Jin but this game was needed to right the wrongs done to his character since t3 ended. Im not a big fan of the overdesigned Devil designs,so i was very happy that they "punched out" all the devil Gene/magic aspects and it ended in a brutal 1v1 duel between Kazuya and Jin. Maybe its cuz T4 was my first game in the series,but Kazuya has grown into one of my favorite villians in Gaming. Dude lost the Devil powers and said "So? That aint been nothing to me besides and extension of my power." My favorite moment is when Jin is having Flashbacks and you see Devil Jin fading Away,his Mother's warmth and Guidance,but the one that a really got me is when Ling's face appeared. Ling had kept her faith in Jin longer than anyone,and all Jin wanted to do was Live to see a Life with Ling Possible and that brought tears to my eyes.
I love the serious videos you make, But every once in a while I miss the "cheeky" side of you that I see in your streams in mainline videos... So I'm glad we're getting stuff like this every once in awhile.
Tekken's story is supposed to be cringe. They know it's stupid as all hell. When they try to take it seriously it fails. Lean all the way in with the absurdity.
Kazuya's line about losing the devil gene kills me. Its my favorite line because it shows that them team knew we wanted to see manly japanese man beat the shit out of eachother instead of dbz final fantasy fights
@@eusouocarameuirmao I know, what I'm saying is the opening after the battle part that starts with Asuka on her bike suggests a long time had passed when in reality it hadn't.
I really love both the space fight and getting down and dirty after. That space bit was definetly ripped from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and I love it. I never really understood when people complain that Tekken is too anime, I think it always has been. Now they just have the tech and money to be even more anime.
Fr. It's always been anime af since T1. The only game that did things different was T4 and look how well that turned out... Serious, edgy, emo atmosphere isn't Tekken, being over the top is.
Always felt a weird disconnect between 90% of the cast that are just fighters doing a tournament with rivalries, wanting money or fame, etc, versus the 10% world war starting dragonball Z fight super powered cast. Like Paul, Law, and King all live in a literal different world than Jin, Kazuya and stuff. Probably why all the normies are all arcade endings are joke endings these days, cause who can care about human rivalries when literal angels and demons are fighting ten feet away
I'm still pissed that they did zero things with Asuka being a Kazama. Like, in concept, she is connected to the main stars of the story yet the only time she was canonically involved was in this game and it was just her replying sarcastically to Hworang about being Jin's sibling, her knowing that Jun is Jin's mother and staring at Jin briefly while at the plane.
I really enjoyed the ending fight, as a 25 year old that grew up with these games both 7 and 8’s endings hit me really hard. Call it nostalgia if you want lol
This is just NG2 levels of craziness there's no real consideration for anything in the world everything is going so fast that I can't really talk shit about it def one of the best story modes in any fighter
Charlie is charismatic and has a nice voice, which makes this video fun to listen to. It is nice to see a video like this, but stream highlights are not what I come to the channel for.

My friend has never been into fighting games at all, but for whatever reason he was drawn to tekken 8 and the story mode with all its corny indulgence sold him
Brit Im glad to see you had a good time with my favorite fighting game story. It is true that if Roger jr. or Alex joined the heroes, Kazuya would have died in chapter three.
Tekken 5 is my favorite, rather than 4. I didn't like 6 and I especially didn't like 7 for getting rid of Bruce. I can only hope they add him in 8 as DLC, at best. It's kind of crazy.
I can't believe Jun Kazama was click bait. Angel Jin's design feels ripped from Final Fantasy which is to say it's Tekken 6 style trash. All in all I loved it.
glad im not the only one who saw comparisons between DMC5 with Vergil (father devil )and Nero (son angel) and tekken 8 with Kazuya (father devil) and Jin (son angel) fighting in the sky.
11:00 actually people found files for Reyna's you know what costume in the game so it might mean that they'll be doing a story DLC at some point with her and Jun taking a bigger role
Seem to me like they took more inspiration from Mk11 and MvC Infinite rather than from previous games in the series. It's just a generic "good guys vs bad guys" now. I mean tekken writing was never perfect but at least each fighter got his own reason to fight instead of just saving the world or destroying it. But it was really ambitious I'll give them that.
@@Nov-5062 The main characters were always going to have that struggle, since t6 Jin wanted to atone and Kazuya wanted to dominate. That's not new. I'll give you that for the side characters though
Ooh, I'm really curious now if we share the same opinions regarding NMH III. (Well, I doubt it, because I read it as a commentary about video game hype culture and one's inability to escape one's legacy, and from the sound of it you just might think it's not good without the massive "but what if that was the point" subclause I wave around like a discarded hypodermic needle.) Also it's TEKKEN! I wish Bob was in this one! I hope we don't have to wait more than one DLC season for him!
If Tekken did ripoff bleach, I wouldn't mind really, Bleach is an alright manga, and most narrative ideas and stories today aren't very original due to every idea in existence being exhausted. It's more down to execution. For example all of Ichigo, Jin, and Nero are pretty archetypal characters who fit in the same archetype that predated their existence ( Yusuke Urameshi).
Playing Tekken 3 in middle school was the last time I was really into tis series. The idea of these storyline getting "wrapped up" NOW in the year 2024 is hilarious and makes me feel about 100 years old. Like WTF. But I guess Tekken also avoided rebooting itself a bunch of times like Mortal Kombat
Thanks to Sphere Hunter for the delightful video message.

I always chuckle at how Jin and Kazuya are 6ish feet tall, absolutely jacked but only weight like 185lbs. Bruh, they should weigh AT LEAST 220 lbs.
Meanwhile, the zombie-like Dragunov and the wall of muscle-meat that is Feng are both only around their mid-20s. Tekken is something else.

When the Tekken Force footage hit I was screaming “TURN ON DLSS JESUS CHRIST”
GOLEM GET YE GONE
Based
Roger Sterling DLC coming soon
11:55 the dmc reboot also copied bleach
I'm learning how to make a video tick and make it fun all in a single package! really enjoyed this one!
11:00 actually people found files for Reyna's you know what costume in the game so it might mean that they'll be doing a story DLC at some point with her and Jun taking a bigger role
I mean i adore t4 story as well but thats what makes 8s the best in the series, it takes the themes and ideas of 4 and evolves it to the peaj
if the pattern continues, tekken 16 and 32 are gonna be crazy
Seem to me like they took more inspiration from Mk11 and MvC Infinite rather than from previous games in the series. It's just a generic "good guys vs bad guys" now.
I mean tekken writing was never perfect but at least each fighter got his own reason to fight instead of just saving the world or destroying it.
But it was really ambitious I'll give them that.
@@Nov-5062 The main characters were always going to have that struggle, since t6 Jin wanted to atone and Kazuya wanted to dominate. That's not new. I'll give you that for the side characters though
yea ending battle really saves it
wish reina and other side characters got more to do though
Ooh, I'm really curious now if we share the same opinions regarding NMH III. (Well, I doubt it, because I read it as a commentary about video game hype culture and one's inability to escape one's legacy, and from the sound of it you just might think it's not good without the massive "but what if that was the point" subclause I wave around like a discarded hypodermic needle.)
Also it's TEKKEN! I wish Bob was in this one! I hope we don't have to wait more than one DLC season for him!
0:04 I mean, if you wanna count Street Fighter X Tekken as a Tekken game.....
He did in Tekken 90s anime
Nah chief this was peak
just my opinion, but i would prefer if you made a second channel for stream highlights like this. love your stuff either way
I got an ad for Tekken 8. That seems appropriate.
I gotta say I appreciate all the time spent in gratuitous closeup of Jin's pecs
They should have hired actual writers. Furthermore, Asuka was shafted massively.
You cant please anyone.
Tekken has never been about Shakespearian writing quality dawg
thats to be expected at this point
@@TheAnimatedGamer Bro at this point, I just want writing period lmao
@@PussPussGaming there was writing
No more heroes 3 when ? I think it's kinda good sometimes but also really super cringe too sometimes
*devilman devilman devilman devilman devilman devilman~*
How was it cringe before?
If Tekken did ripoff bleach, I wouldn't mind really, Bleach is an alright manga, and most narrative ideas and stories today aren't very original due to every idea in existence being exhausted. It's more down to execution. For example all of Ichigo, Jin, and Nero are pretty archetypal characters who fit in the same archetype that predated their existence ( Yusuke Urameshi).
Even when Bleach was good, it still stole all of its best ideas from YYH and Flame of Recca.
Jin more fits into the uryu hie archetype.
Don't underestimate snake-man. He had yet to use his true potential, lol
We don’t talk about the bount arc
That war sequence kind of just made me miss Urban Reign.
Angel Jin is 1:1 The Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy, specifically the XIV boss-battle ver.
But where was Akuma in all this?
Waiting for jin to be strong enough
The sonic streams were also pretty funny
Playing Tekken 3 in middle school was the last time I was really into tis series. The idea of these storyline getting "wrapped up" NOW in the year 2024 is hilarious and makes me feel about 100 years old. Like WTF. But I guess Tekken also avoided rebooting itself a bunch of times like Mortal Kombat
