The way they experimented with textures over 3D models was revolutionary back then. Tekken was so ahead of the curve that basically became the way the game worked 3D character models in a cheaper and less powerful hardware became the norm of how they're supposed to be treated in game development.
My prayers go out to the lovely people of Japan who have been rocked with the earthquake and subsequent tsunami 🙏 I havent heard from my friend since and I'm concerned
Another good example (and possible video idea) is Dynasty Warriors! It did start off as a fighting game, then later evolved into the action brawler it would be famous for!
I do still kinda love the name "Rave Wars", I'm not gonna lie. Like a fighting game spin-off to Ridge Racer, another Namco series that loves its hardcore techno and rave music.
Glad that Tekken has never forgotten it's roots. To think Virtua Fighter had a lot to do with Tekken's inception, and that Tekken would take the torch in 3D fighting games in 2024.
I love Tekken. It's one of the coolest PlayStation 1 games. I love that in Tekken 1 you can kick and throw characters around and when I played other games after I was like oh this is the normal. I'm happy that Tekken is still alive and going strong today planning to release their new game Tekken 8. Cool video. ^_^
Tekken one of the best fighting games of all time, i bought it just when hit the stores for my PSX back in the 95, its graphics still holds very well even today. My last Tekken game was Tekken 3, 21st century fighting games sucks.
Pretty sure Virtua Fighter ran at 384p (ega) at 60fps in the arcade. Just like most the other model 2 games. While the original Tekken arcade was 240p and ran on PS1 hardware. When I play virtua fighter in groovymame by tri-sync arcade monitor definitely switches to EGA mode and I can see 24khz on my rgb interface.
09:47 (from top to bottom) 90s Wrestler Woman Stereotype (probably became Michelle later) Generic Bruce Lee/Kung Fu guy (most likely an early Law or Lei) probably an early French Nina 90's tough black guy stereotype, i believe this is what became Bruce an early version of Paul or maybe a Blonde Baek prototype King as a japanese wrestler on the right dont really have a big clue about big guy, could be a Zangief rip-off generic japanese karate guy obviously an early Kazuya in the middle white hulk guy on the bottom left looks like an evil version of Lee Chaolan or maybe even early version of Jack bottom left woman is probably early Jun Kazama, have no clue about 2 women in bottom right tough
If the female wrestler ended up becoming Michelle, I wonder if this is another reason why Julia Chang is protrayed as a wrestler on Tekken Tag Tournament 2, as a nod to how her mother started out
I don't think that's confirmed? Maybe it could have been happening alongside Tekken 4 or 5? I do believe Nina during Tekken 4 was doing her own thing. Also In her prologue she's seen in a room full of unknown men assassinated... I feel that connects to Death by Degrees. I'm counting DBD to be alongside Tekken 4 meaning it would be, maybe, a Tekken 5 prequel.
Yes my brother - or should I say yeeeaaahhhh!!? I know, I know, you probably get these kinda comments all the time, but you're my favourite CZcams channel, so please forgive me!
I would rather play the beta of Tekken 1 than 8. The demo of 8 was brutally bad on the eyes and I don't care anymore because of the bad graphic effects. Interesting video.

there was also a video like that for Mortal Kombat years ago, talking of lost secrets, cut characters, secrets, rumors etc. but it was deleted
8:33
* claims Nina is absent *
* while showing Nina's portrait *
You know what got me hooked was the ending cut scenes for Tekken games like watching something out of a anime story line
My prayers go out to the lovely people of Japan who have been rocked with the earthquake and subsequent tsunami 🙏
I havent heard from my friend since and I'm concerned
I've since been able to contact him, his family was affected but they seem to be ok
@8:28, I'm pretty sure that's Nina to the right of Kazuya on the character select screen. Her portrait in Tekken 1 was super janky looking.
Agreed on both parts, caught my eye when he said it. Also 90's magazine photographs lol
Another good example (and possible video idea) is Dynasty Warriors! It did start off as a fighting game, then later evolved into the action brawler it would be famous for!
Wonder if that character they inspired nina is the reason her son is a boxer
I do still kinda love the name "Rave Wars", I'm not gonna lie. Like a fighting game spin-off to Ridge Racer, another Namco series that loves its hardcore techno and rave music.
They should intruduce a new mode in Tekken 6 called Rave War or Rave War mode.
Glad that Tekken has never forgotten it's roots. To think Virtua Fighter had a lot to do with Tekken's inception, and that Tekken would take the torch in 3D fighting games in 2024.
Tekken took the torch when Tekken 3 came out and then solidified it with Tekken 7.
Tekken 5 has tons of secrets and cut content or unused stuff, more than any other Tekken title, I still haven't seen anyone cover it.
That was a great cover photo.. LOL, the way she's holding the game and sneering at it, that's real good

Now this was cool and pretty interesting to learn about, thank you for uploading this video! Great video and great job 🙏👍
I don't really care about modern gaming, but show me these retro "cutting edge" polygons and specs... yeah, still gets me interested.
They had a cool name and now I see why it’s always techno in nature
Isn‘t the thumbnail and title quite misleading? Was expecting other content in this video.
Thanks for the drum and bass outro. JUNGLIST MASSIVE!
8:32 Nina is there
Rave War 8 is gonna be awesome 🙃
8:56 oohhh so thats how they conceived the concept for Steve! How curious
Tekken tag will forever be my favorite!
Happy 30th Anniversary/Birthday to the Tekken franchise! :)
7:50 electrify my tooth
As usual grade A content. Good job❤
but Nina was there in that character select screen tho...between Jack and Kazuya
7 year old me: THIS LOOKS SO REAL!
nice truthful video. I was cautious of clickbait but was truthful. Tekken is awesome.
Rave War 8 is a amazing game
9:04 early tekken character designs from 1990's but magiyellow from magiranger (super sentai series) doesn't exist until 2005
8:32 umm is that not Nina between Jack and Kazuya in the select picture?
Rave War is also the name for one of Law's moves
That closing track. Was that from Beatmania 6? *Something* Mind and the track is called Drum Funk?
You showed footage from Tekken 2 at one point.
I thought he was gonna talk about the nina williams game, death by degrees.☹️
Tekken one of the best fighting games of all time, i bought it just when hit the stores for my PSX back in the 95, its graphics still holds very well even today. My last Tekken game was Tekken 3, 21st century fighting games sucks.
And then it all went downhill after 5 dark ressurection
Yeah but it's the last 3d fighter left cause 2d fighter are copy and paste
@Sealae80 dead or alive series is still active and a new Virtua Fighter 6 is rumored
Nina isn't absent from the selection screen i can see her. 😅
Pretty sure Virtua Fighter ran at 384p (ega) at 60fps in the arcade. Just like most the other model 2 games. While the original Tekken arcade was 240p and ran on PS1 hardware.
When I play virtua fighter in groovymame by tri-sync arcade monitor definitely switches to EGA mode and I can see 24khz on my rgb interface.
Lovin the dnb bgm , how 90s of you 😊
We'll have rave war 8 today.😂
08:56 feels like Nina bcoz Steve Fox is like child of Nina through experimentation.
"One two! One two!" *BOXING GUV NOISES*
Can’t fucking wait!
Excellent video
08:32 but Nina is there on character screen xD
magiyellow wouldn't make sense since magiranger aired from 2005-2006 and that game looks really old
Rave War Combo
Nice steam video I like tekken
Soul edge is very underrated
Death by degrees could have been Tekken Origins?
6:44 ...the bloody *_lion_* character?!?!! My boi at EGM never seen a jaguar/leapord before! 😂 JK! I'm not really that pedantic I swear...
Game companies had so many ideas
They had to choose one.
09:47 (from top to bottom)
90s Wrestler Woman Stereotype (probably became Michelle later)
Generic Bruce Lee/Kung Fu guy (most likely an early Law or Lei)
probably an early French Nina
90's tough black guy stereotype, i believe this is what became Bruce
an early version of Paul or maybe a Blonde Baek
prototype King as a japanese wrestler on the right
dont really have a big clue about big guy, could be a Zangief rip-off
generic japanese karate guy obviously an early Kazuya in the middle
white hulk guy on the bottom left looks like an evil version of Lee Chaolan or maybe even early version of Jack
bottom left woman is probably early Jun Kazama, have no clue about 2 women in bottom right tough
If the female wrestler ended up becoming Michelle, I wonder if this is another reason why Julia Chang is protrayed as a wrestler on Tekken Tag Tournament 2, as a nod to how her mother started out
You should challenge all other gaming CZcamsrs who could step in the ring to a match!
That game is Technically Death by Degrees which is Ninas Game since its a Prequel to Tekken 1.
I don't think that's confirmed? Maybe it could have been happening alongside Tekken 4 or 5? I do believe Nina during Tekken 4 was doing her own thing.
Also In her prologue she's seen in a room full of unknown men assassinated... I feel that connects to Death by Degrees. I'm counting DBD to be alongside Tekken 4 meaning it would be, maybe, a Tekken 5 prequel.
@@r0n1ngamingYT It was when Heihachi still had Black Hair
🎉
Tekken still broken to this day
What’s that supposed to mean? Works fine to me
Lmao at the British wrestler getting his time to shine
"Hey you! You wanna try me guv?"
Yes my brother - or should I say yeeeaaahhhh!!? I know, I know, you probably get these kinda comments all the time, but you're my favourite CZcams channel, so please forgive me!
Hey pa, I'm just playing Battle Circuit on mame - which of your recent uploads refers to it??
Cool, cool, and cool.
I wish someone would Rom hack Tekken 1 or 2 maybe 3 on n64 just by useing what ever fighting game engine from a old fighting on n64
I got blue tooth controller's and tekken 3 rom on my phone
7:59 never
They’re all on drugs! That explains it‼️🤣
Hmmmm 🌊
Rave War sound too cheesy. Fortunately, they went with Tekken as the title as it sounded much cooler
Picture that today?😂
Rave war 8.
I would rather play the beta of Tekken 1 than 8. The demo of 8 was brutally bad on the eyes and I don't care anymore because of the bad graphic effects.
Interesting video.
