Yah this was the tekken tag for the ps2 it was released years after t3. The arcade version of tag was only a slight imrovement since it still used T3s engine 😁. Im stil more used to the arcade version though.
Tbh the character models look better than T4 even. It's pretty crazy how good tag looked when it came out. I had seen it in magazines and was blown away, but when I saw it in motion at launch, I knew I had to get a PS2 asap
He didn't, they just didn't have time to properly model each character with distinguishable proportions and gave him a standard body (with little to no tweaking) like all other male characters.
Yea him and alot of others i didnt really like it bc the idea of taekwondo is ur supposed to be quick and agile and its hard to believe a guy built like a bodybuilder could do that well. More muscle mass works on guys like marduk, king, or even jin but not so much on the quicker fighters like hwoarang or law
@@Nas97. Exactly, a lot of martial arts training doesn't focus on building muscle mass. Idk I think they had a grasp of that aspect in tekken 3/tag1 up to tekken 6 then they went for stylized anime art direction
@@Nas97.not hard to believe when you have guys like Michael Jai White, Scott Atkins, Samo Hung etc and myself out here that are agile with a bigger frame. Hence Bob. It's just rare to see. However you're right that it doesn't fit Hwoarang specifically because it's not the narrative they were going for with him like they were with a character like Bob. I think it was more of a flaw/lazy part of the male character models overall than Hwoarang himself. Even Law, Feng etc got jacked af in certain Tekkens and the same happened even to a character like Dhalsim in SF where he got big af for no reason 😅 trippin
I really REALLY hated all the designs of Tekken 4. That is probably why it sold the least amount of copies in the entire franchise (not including the first one.)
Tekken 4 had my favorite designs. Tekken has the Dragonball Super/GT conflict. Some of us like major progressive changes in design other like minor conservative tweaks.
So at 19, he was a 4th Dan. In T8, at 22, he’s a 8th Dan. Considering the universe he’s from, he had to have been training hard almost every other day since he was at least 5 or 6yrs old. Even then, that’s insane.
One of my first personal video game crushes, Mmm those Tekken 3 days haha. He really translated quite nicely over the series though his Tekken 4 look with the longer hair is still one of my most favorites. Army alternate looked cool as well. And of course, such a fun character to play.
@@monotypical_ I think facially Hwoarang looked great in Tekken 5 but I hated his outfit and I much preferred the "biker cowboy" look he got in Tekken 6 lol In Tekken 8 he looks very different, I'm not sure how I feel about his look because I'm so used to his wild spiky hair he had for so long lol.
Hwoarang 🇰🇷is my prince 💗💗💗💗 I love him because, he is the most handsome and brave. He looks at me and it's true.😊 Hwoarang💗💗💗💗 He is so cute and hot.💗
My favorite Tekken character of all time. So many memories with Hwoarang. I used to give the best Tekken players a run for their money back in the Arcade days.
I love how you can see the programming evolution of the belt strips. On T3 they're fixed (and yet they don't stand out in a bad way), then in the next Tekkens they animate them by hand, with the most realistic result on T5, but on T6 they try to use actual physics on them only the calculations are not quite there nad they don't morve realistically... Then on T7 they have realistic physics but it looks as if they decided that those strips have zero weight, so the swing around like crazy. Finally, in T8, they got it totally right and realistic, though the result is not that much better that the pre-recorded animation back in Tekken 5, so at the end if feels a bit like a waste of resources LOL
Have to say, when each game is compared to other games at the time in terms of graphics and character modelling, Tekken 4 stands head and shoulders above the rest. The game looks outrageously good for a 2001 title.
Except in music and villain. Tekken 3's music is still unmatched. Ogre still carries as the greatest villain twist in all of Tekken. No big boss since has been this "what's going to happen when I fight this guy?" feeling.
Hworang was the coolest character aside from Jin and Law growing up. Tekken 3 introduced two of the coolest characters in the game. They got Hworang so right he never changed his outfit for half these games. Whoop yo ass in a Tae Kwon Do gi like a G
Animator for Hworang's fighting pose: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
XD
Tekken didn’t invent tae kwon do
@@sonlaxxthere are different poses for tae kwon do sand bag
@@sonlaxx please show me any martial artists that hold their arms that stiffly in that position while bouncing im begging you
Lol true
The jump from 3 to tag1 was huuuge 😮
I remember Tag1 graphics actually blowing my mind
Blew my mind as a kid. He was always my go to and I remember screaming about how good Tag 1 looked compared to 3.

Pretty much a PS1 to PS2 graphical leap, since TTT was a launch title.

Favorite Tekken Character
Mine too
His Tekken 4 outfit was clean. I like his army one too

@@CJTranceAddictionI think T4 had my favorites. Jin & Yoshimitsu’s designs alone had me sold.
@@CJTranceAddiction So they sold less cause you didn't like the costumes 🤔. You are very impactful person in this industry my friend
I’d love if they could bring back his official military outfit
4th Dan in Tae Kwon Do in T3. T8, He's wearing the stripes for an 8th Dan. That's a believable progression for 27 years of training time.
In tekken universe its like 3 years

@@AceKite00considering he's a prodigy and one of the most powerful martial artists on earth, it actually makes sense
I mean every game from 5 to 7 take place in one year if that makes it better
Tekken 4 costumes will always hit different, i wish they continued the trend.
They tecnically still did, hwarang in tekken 8 is a good example.
tekken 8 trend is to over design the character to oblivion@@davidgutierrez3856
Bring back
the army one especially
Tekken 5 biker fit > tekken 6 biker fit kinda mid though tbh
If I were Hwoarang, I would get my right knee a check up.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
......interesting.
Idk why I never saw that lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😅😅
Wow looks like major inflammatory! 😮
Tekken 3 has it's separate fan base 🎉
What that supposed to mean 😂
@@ap3shotin Pakistan they started playing with Tekken 3 instead of other games. We used to play Tekken 3 for very very long time until 7

They should bring back that little dinosaur Gon
@@chachmcgrach2053 He's gone but not forgotten
Thank god they calmed down the supersonic belt swinging from T7. A friend of mine always complained about that whenever he played him 🤣
I mean that's how a belt realistically swings around when in a fighting stance like Hwoarang's, but yeah it's way too much for a game lol

Crazy that Tekken 5 came out in 2005, I was still a kid by that time first time playing tekken 3
My main man Hwoarang!😊
Hwoarang is so underrated to me in tekken
Jin and Hwoarang were the hottest and most handsome guys for me in the tekken series. Hahah.
Tekken tag 1 had some of the best graphics on PS2 just look at that shi
A was a launch title for the PS2, so it definitely had to deliver. 😊
@@JumugiDesunra IT HAS NO BUSINESS TO LOOK THAT GOOD FOR A LAUNCH TITLE
Man i am old i was a kid when tekken 3 came out
Now you are a father of 3😭
One of the ultimate “leg men” in tekken! 🔥
They keep coming back to his iconic white Taekwondo outfit. And I'm glad they do. That's the best one.
he is my first husbando when i was a kid. this song taking me back when i was soo obsessed with him i made a whole comic about him lmao
His tekken 4 outfits are always my fav, ive mained him since 4 to
I like that you used his Teklen 3 theme song in this video.
It's very iconic 👏😌
Hwoarang = Korea
Jin = Japan
Xiaoyu = China

very cool

That tekken 3 music hits hard. Nostalgia!
Tekken 3 hwaorang in the classic white gi got me into the character, his wild kicks kept me around
I like his new uniform. Seoul's tradition that the top but Seoul's badass at the bottom.
Iconic BGM.
No need to change perfection
Hwoarang 🇰🇷is my prince 💗💗💗💗 I love him because, he is the most handsome and brave. He looks at me and it's true.😊 Hwoarang💗💗💗💗 He is so cute and hot.💗
An actuall heartthrob💖💖
Even though I look handsome and have a body almost like Hwoarang my fav is Marduk 😅
he is my first love hahaha tbh until today tho
sexy Hwoarang!!!!
Yo it's Boy on Bike
He just gets wider and wider lol
THE GOAT! THE GOATTTTTTT!
My 2nd favorite character in Tekken respectively alongside his rival and my absolute main, Jin.
I don't remember Tekken 6 looking that good tbh
++
Tekken 3 Hwoarang 🐐
He's made consistent gains over the years. Give it 10 more years and he'll fit right in to a streetfighter game with the likes of Ken and Ryu.
Obsessed with the stances in Tekken 6 and Tekken 7 and I have no idea why lol.
My favorite Tekken character of all time. So many memories with Hwoarang. I used to give the best Tekken players a run for their money back in the Arcade days.
Paling suka hwoarang di tekken 3. Proposional bentuk badan nya pas
It's funny how I haven't played that many Tekken games, but I recognize which games are from Ps2 because of the graphics, such nostalgia 😂
I miss his Tekken 4 outfit 😢
The white outfit in the beginning sends me straight to 2002
J'adore celui de tag 2 et de Tekken 8. C'est mon main depuis Tekken 3. Je l'aime.❤
His T4 suits were actually 🔥
Tag 1 still holds up so well my goodness
This man and Kim Kaphwan from Fatal Fury/KOF were the reasons I practiced Taekwondo...at least for my last semester at high school
Harada if you’re reading this, I NEED THAT TEKKEN 4 DRIP IN TEKKEN 8!!!! C’mon man, at this point you’re just trolling us.
I hope I'm not the only one who liked the Hwoarang skins from Tekken 4 and 8
Hopefully they’ll give us one of his classic fits as dlc we need that
Tekken 3>>>>>>>>>
Nerd fact - they skipped TTT arcade and went straight to the PS2 version
The arcade version looked closer to Tekken 3!
bro is now eren jaeger
Hwoarang is my favourite ❤⭐️❤️
Ttag 1 alternative skin ❤🎉
Hworang is my favorite character from the Tekken saga.
Him and Jin remain my video game crush 😅❤️
After tekken 5 i stop playing because they changed his moveset still my favorite character
he's always been a cool cat
Other game developers: its all about the male gaze
Harada: hold my beer
We know you like our game so here it is again!
Best of the Best Kicker in Tekken!
Always been my fave character
Love tekken tag above anyone else
I just love that each narrator from each Tekken game says his name in a different way lmao
I remembered calling him Sonic in Tekken 6 because of his haircute😂
That Tekken 3 music was so good so funky and his is the funkiest
Tekken 3 was definitely his best days
Tekken 3 Hwoarang was official🔥🔥🔥🔥🦅
I just feel like tekken 8 isn’t even hworang anymore.
he's a 8th dan black belt he surpassed his master (6th Dan)

crazy how much things changed as soon as the 2000s hit
Tekken 8 is a whole new person lol
I love Hwoarang in Tekken 8!! So cool!
He was at his best in tekken 4
Jin and Hwоarang are the best Tekken fighters
the tech animation demo that plays for tekken 3 is so dope. i can't help but stop what I'm doing to watch it
They really put bro w/ a Chrome hearts belt and shoes in Tag 2! 😭 Bro be having the best fits next to King
Ok, how come does his hair animation are more fluid in TTT than in upcoming series?
Tekken 4 outfit is the best
T8 had the best costume update in a while.
Missing SFxT (since I see that game included in your comparisons for characters like Kuma and Christie).
It's my favorite bouncer. Hwoarang.
Tbh I preferred the way his army alt looked in tekken 4 is compared to all of his OG outfits
That new animation/pose at the end is 🔥🔥🔥
Hwoarang from 7 to 8 built different
Haowrang was awesome in tekken 4
my fav hworang is the kimono with the hair band
The graphics shift from T3 on ps1 to T Tag on ps2 was remarkable
Legend!
T3 is my most favorite look of him hands down
My Ultimate Tekken main. I remember practicing his 10 hit combo in the lab during TTT & TTT2.

his tag 2 costume goes insane
It's his Tekken 5 and 6 costume
