My Nostalgia With Tekken 

I won't lie, that intro is so sweet someone started choppin onions for the barbecue.

“This Paul looks nothing like Paul.” Warms my heart.♥️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bro that Tekken 5 intro will always have a special place in my heart.

Why’d the intro make me cry

Always nice to see a more casual take on the series every once in a while, nice vid man.

Tekken 5 intro make me cry, even if I relatively control my emotions, and I'm not very emotional person. Once my friend saw me with tears on my eyes he thought something really bad happened, but I was just watching tekken 5 intro in cycle. And each time that I listen to it, it hit deep in my heart, so many memories came back to me, especially when I hear "I'm here now. I'm doing the best I can. Where are you now? Did your dreams come true? Here we go... Swear yoy wont give up.." it just ends me. Tekken 5 was the game that helped me to get though all shit that was happening to me, when I was kid and had go though hard periods in my life I always said to my self "imagine you are Jin/Devil Jin" or "Jin would go though it and blabla" and i did it, i pass this periods. I felt like characters holded my hand and help me to get though, as i had no friends or any support from anyone, this game somehow replaced them. And today, when i hear this intro song especially "did you dreams come true" it's like if this game was asking me that, like if this game was a real person who helped me get though all hard periods in my life when since i was kid, and I see myself as a character that reply "yes", and its true I am achieving my dreams etc... Now I have friends, I'm studying and achieving my dreams. And it's crazy to know that this game had such a big impact on my life. Idk if I would achiev so much if I didn't had tekken 5 and my ps2 (I still have this tekken5!!!). Well, I let my emotions take over while I was writing this, it's so weird to share my feelings about this, but i wanted to do it with other people who love/like tekken as me. And especially under a video where the author shares the same. And sorry for my mistakes, english is not my native language. Stay strong, guys! 🫶 And thank you for the video

Tekken 4 was my first tekken too, as one of the first videogames ive ever played, tekken is my favorite game series

Bro the story of Tekken being within you before you were born, brought a tear to my eye. 🥲

Tekken means a lot of things to a lot of different people. Thank you for making this.

Your family is great, having your parents not only introduce you into video games but actually enjoy to play games with you is something I always wanted to with my parents. This video is great, I can't wait for more Tekken videos!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has serious nostalgia with this franchise. I remember playing Tekken 5 in an arcade during weekends, with spare change that I had saved for the entire week of school. My childhood was fucked up but Tekken was a huge part in making things a bit better. That arcade that had Tekken 5 in it closed down 5 years ago. Everytime i pass by that empty space at the mall makes me smile a little, just feeling grateful that it was my happy place as a kid. I still play Tekken 6 at a different arcade that is surprisingly still alive and tekken 7 from time to time when i come home from work, Still saving up to buy my Tekken 8 copy 😅.

this mans love and life experience with tekken mirrors mine so much and its just really wild for me to hear

My Nostalgia with Tekken was in summer 1998. My father bought a projector and i figured out how to hook up my PS1 to it. I gathered some friends in our garden and we projected the game to the white sidewall of our house. In the dark it looked absolutly awesome. The projection was around 15m x 6m. The whole neighbourhood watched while we beat the sh1t out of each other.

Tekken 4 is my favorite tekken 3 got me into it and 4 made me fall in love with the series

I legit thought I am gonna cry like an infant when -probably your momma- said ''it's too big for a ps game'' and then it was revealed it was the whole prestige tekken 4 package. Glorious days indeed

why’d this whole video make me cry

I remember my memories with tekken 4 so vividly it’s insane remember looking at the intro with my dad and getting excited and jumping up and down when I saw the roster popped up and LOVED xiaoyu and Nina as a kid and was so happy when I finally beat my dads kazyua I could go on and on about Tekken 4 and my memories with Tekken in general I will always love it

I remember being a kid and playing tekken 3 and imitate jin kazama but yeah I also remember tekken 4 because I remember the ps 2 era more vividly and the atmosphere of the game is giving me always nostalgia.

Intro made me cry, im 14 right now and i started playing tekken when i was 10 with my cousins, every day we would play tekken, never in my life have i had so much fun, when t8 came out it made my cry

I started with tekken 5 when i was 3 and i loved it!The intro still gives me goosebumps

This has got to be the first tekken video that perfectly encapsulates how much I LOVE this series. It's difficult to describe to someone why a video game can mean so much emotionally, but you did it. The first tekken I played was either 4 or 5-altough I don't remember it clearly, since I was about 6 years old at the time. Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 though? I *cannot* explain how much I love those two games. Especially TT2. The intro for tekken tag was so cool, and seeing jin kazama ride his bike as a young girl in the intro cutscene? I could NOT shut up to my friends about how cool and attractive he was. The customization in that game was crazy too. In general, the tekken games have always been an escape from reality for me. My childhood was very rough, and I could only play tekken when I was at my grandma's place. Her son had an xbox 360, and I'd always come to watch him play in his room. I really grew up with tekken. Started at 6, and am now 18. I hope this series goes on for as long as possible. Maybe someday I can introduce my son or daughter to the franchise, and InDoCtriNaTE them into loving it just as much! Jk, but yeah, great video man!

The fact you have less than 1000 subs an this video is this well edited is downright criminal. Hope your youtube journey goes well!

man i cannot thank more my parents for gifting me tekken 5 in release. i also grew up playing tekken. i aleays was the shy kid that no one would like to play tekken with also. i at least experienced one every feeling you describe and ita beautiful. thank you for making this video i will come back to it when i need it youre amazing

I absolutely love this. Tekken holds a special place in my heart. One of my earliest memories is going to coming home from school one day and my dad had just got the game left the intro movie looping on the TV. Simple moments like that resonate for a lifetime and I think you captured that pretty well. I used to fanboy over Jin's hair too ❤

That treasured memories intro at the beginning had me tearing up

Nostalgia for Tekken, and you start it off with Kingdom Hearts music? You hooked me instantly

Tekken 5 is goated remember my mom and I taking a bus to take a train to go to a mall and got mk deception and tekken 5 to play good times

Damn I hope your channel blows up man, I loved this vid, and it really spoke to me as Tekken meant just as much to me growing up, it was the one game I could convince my family to play and we loved it, and I've been a fan since I played the first Tekken on my brother's PS1 when I was a toddler ahaha. 25 years old now and Tekken 8 is absolutely fun as hell, and the story was an absolute love letter to the Tekken fan. Every time Tekken is announced I get super hyped, something that just doesn't happen for any other game anymore, and with the spike in popularity for Tekken since 7 got more popular, I'm glad my friends are finally starting to join me with the hype! Tekken will forever be my favourite video game franchise, I love every single installment for one reason or another, and I am forever thankful for the people that made this game, as well as the community we have that pushes this game to be the best fighting game ever. Also I'm so jealous you met the team, the most interaction I had was when Harada replied to my tweet when I bought TTT2 ahaha

I didn't get into Tekken until I heard an extended version of Kitsch Beach from Tekken 4 with wave sounds and footage of Jin and Kazuya fighting for 15 minutes, that video made me fall in love with the series!

I also started with 4 and to me it was hands down the most aesthetic and atmospheric game on the PlayStation 2.

You know, it's people like you, that got me into giving Tekken another Chance. I always played Fighting Games on and of, but there was never really one that stuck with me. I bought Tekken7 along with Guilty Gear XRD and Street Fighter V, about 8 months ago. I mostly wanted Guilty Gear, SF was nice to have and I trained a bit, before playing SF6 and MK1 following the Year. All felt kinda good, but none of the games gave me the bite to stay...then I played Tekken7 and this led me to watch this third 40+ minutes video and two days, repeating it, cause the way you convey your thoughts are so intriguing. I may have to play it some longer to truelly come close to year over 20 years of experience, but this is truely one serious, that I would really be glad to master. Gotta gather some money, train a bit and then...hopefully I can cross paths with you...see in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 8👊🏻👍🏻

Kudos to that kid , knowing every character by heart . Nice 👍..

I have been a casual fan of Tekken for as long as I could remember. I have glimpsed Tekken 3 and Tag Tournament at the arcades, but when I got my PSP and played Tekken Dark Resurrection? Man, it was as if a core memory was born that day. Then my dad bought a PS2, and when I played Tekken 5? I related HEAVILY during the part about the Sparking! Intro, and it was a lot of fun actually playing it with others (despite me losing a lot to button mashers). And it all continued from there. I played T6 on the PSP, played a little T7 and TTT2 in the arcade during my college years, and I have seen all the prologues/endings, all the movies, and a LOT of videos on the Lore of Tekken. Tekken really is something, truly a force to be reckoned with. Thanks for the video, an amazing dose of nostalgia.

I love Tekken!!! It was an important part of my childhood and introduction to videogames with Crash Bandicoot and Grand Tourismo. I had Tekken 5 on PS2 and Tekken 6 on PSP. Tekken 5 was something else. I still remember the OP (especially the first shot with moon and feather). I played tekken 1 and 2 in arcade museum (for some reason third never worked). I never finished first level of devil within (I was stupid back then). I played tekken 6 more because ps2 was sold and it was INSANELY popular in my class. All of us tried to achieve the highest rank - Tekken God, which I was the only one to achieve. I remember maining Devil Jin. He was everything for young me. His design, his laser and flying move, his voice, his ending. So, yeah, Tekken was an important part of my childhood. Fun fact: none of my class played multiplayer in Tekken 6, because we didn't know how to access multiplayer on psp.

Tekken 4 was my first as well. The mystery around Jin for newcomers, the atmosphere, the stages the music. Tekken 4 was built different

I got hardcore Nostalgia for this franchise!!! I was hardcore obsessed as a kid. The badass characters, hard hitting combos, the immersive soundtrack, the ridiculous yet fascinating lore. There's so much to love and the release of Tekken 8 brought everything to the forefront. So happy for the community and that our game is thriving once again! ❤🤩😁

This video is incredible man, i basically lived tekken the same as you and i can understand how much it means to you

Could have warned me about that intro. Im in tears!

Really well put video! I loved every second of this!

Man when you started to explain why you loved Tekken 5s intro so much I related so hard to that.

loved the video! good to know how much tekken means to a lot of people too, and i'm not even a huge fighting game player. excited for future videos!

nearly 50 minutes video with 900 views? damn this channel really is underrated

I remember playing with a friend in HS named Paul and he uses Paul.

The intro video and everything from your descriptions of your mom and dad loving Tekken and getting you and your brother into the game to showing the pictures of them making your Devil Jin Halloween costume is just the most fucking wholesome shit I've ever seen. Amazing job with this video and I hope you're enjoying Tekken 8!

I watched a lot of "retrospectives" of tekken ( pretty much for the same reason you watch tekken endings lol) but I rarely seen such good essay on how much it means to someone, very well done.

Man .....that persona 4 songs in the background made the video GOATED

The Tekken Tag disc part really got me hahahahahahahaha

This whole video hit me like a train emotionally because I share the very same love you have for Tekken. I was five years old when I discovered the series, my first exposure to the series was Tekken 4 from one of those European PS2 Demo Discs that had Paul and Christie as playable characters. I remember loving the atmosphere and music and I'd always play that demo to no end until I gave the disc back to my cousin. It would eventually fade from my memory until a year later, where I stop by my grandparents' house and visit my cousin in his room to find out he got Tekken 5 on the PS2, I remember the opening having my jaw drop, I haven't seen anything like it before, and especially that scene of Kazuya and Heihachi teaming up to kick robot ass was so exciting for me to watch for the first time as a kid, even if I knew nothing about the story yet, I was so invested and wanted to see what would happen next. I remember playing a couple matches against him, he'd always kick my ass, but it was still fun, I remember how he'd always pick characters like Hwoarang, Jin and Devil Jin, meanwhile my picks were Asuka and Jin. I loved Tekken 5 so much I basically begged my parents to buy the game for me, which is what we did when we went to a trip to Spain, played a bit of practice mode to familiarize myself with the game more, and after that, I became obsessed, I played the Story Mode several times to see the endings and stuff and it was such a joy, and made me find out my love for other characters like Feng Wei, Paul and Roger Jr. Ever since I picked Tekken 5 up, I dug deep into the series with the lore, watched The Anime movie several times and I loved it every second of it, whether it was watching the anime or playing the games. I have this memory of my cousin used to watch a Tekken AMV with the song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool, it was pure 2000's edge and we loved it. Tekken would eventually become a distant memory until 2020 and the pandemic happened and kind of fell into a hole of deep depression due to some events, and then... I picked up Tekken 4 after years of not playing it, and I was hooked again, I was feeling this childlike joy in me that I haven't experienced in a long time. Shortly after that, I picked up Tekken 7 on PC to play it online and finally found my main, Kazuya Mishima, something about him just clicked with me, his fighting style, his voice, the cool outfits he wears, I completely fell in love with him the same way I did as a kid when I first saw him, I already liked him a lot as a kid, but that was the moment I knew I found the character I loved the most, and god was that like the light in the dark tunnel 2020 was for me. I've been in love with the series again since! I'm currently playing Tekken 8 as Kazuya and Jun and I'm enjoying it a lot, honestly the most fun I've had with a videogame in years and I couldn't be happier. This video legitimately touched my soul emotionally to hear about someone who shares this very same nostalgia I do for Tekken and it hit me so hard realizing how I've been a Tekken fan for 14 years, as corny this sounds, this series has been a part of me I just can't let go for the life of me, and I wouldn't give my memories with this series away for anything else. Fantastic job on this video, you've earned my sub. You have no idea how much this video made me smile as I reminisced through my own memories and enjoyed hearing you retell your memories with it too. Thank you.

That intro was everything I needed today🥹🥰. Too precious💜. My mom got my brother and I into fighting games, with Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Killer Instinct. We still play all 4 franchises til this day

Sooo sweet. 😭 that intro. I got something in my eye. I swear Its. 😭 I am not crying YOU are !😭😭

You just became my new favorite RU-vidr man. Great video, very heartfelt, very genuine, would love to see more dude!

Tekken 4 was so awesome, couldn't believe it didn't sell well later in life.

Extremely high quality video! I have massive nostalgia for fighters, I only started properly playing them last year but my father used to take me to an old arcade in Australia to play SF 2, fond memories!

Such a good video, Tekken is also my childhood game, thanks!

Damn man, I'm crying right at the intro bruh

the editing quality is so good i thought you had 500k, this is a subscribe for the editing alone

Your video starting with it?... damn. Right into the heart. Thank you. :3 Great video, too ^^

This was really entertaining. Subbed, hoping to see more

Cool video and surprisingly touching. Great stuff.

Tekken 5 is THE best modern tekken , The early 2000s look and the characters like Christie looking like Beyonce or Lei looking like Jackie Chan during a time when both those characters were very popular, the Futuristic matrix like announcer along with the Stage designers being planted in reality really made it top notching had dynamic music as well for the first time I'm tekken series.m *edit* Tekken 4*

What a heartfelt video. Growing up, Tekken was a little more niche than it is today. When I was like 5 or 6, I vividly remember playing tag 1 for the first time, and my cousin and I played it for years. One thing that’s very special to me about tag 1, is that I grew up loving video games, but this is like the only video game My dad ever really played with me when I was younger. He loved playing Lei and Law. He got me to pick up the game because my name is also Eddie. So Eddy was my first main haha. When my brother was old enough to pick up a controller, he joined us too. I remember so frequently picking Armor King and Eddy and he’d always pick King and Yoshimitsu. Tag also had a sick feature on PS2 where you could Co-op the arcade and we always did as king and armor king. We’d pop off whenever they did their synced up intros and mimic them almost every time. We played that game for years. Well after four came out. Eventually, I got around to four and I really liked it despite it being so different and everyone else not liking it. It’s music and atmosphere or something I think are very unique. Tekken took a long break for me because I didn’t really see my dad often as I lived with my mother. But when I got my job at target when I was like 19, my coworker overheard me talking about tekken and he said “I’ll sell you my copy, I don’t want it anymore. I’ll sell it for $5 more of what GameStop will buy it ($30)” mind you, this was like 6 months post release. So I said “HELL YEAH ILL TAKE IT OFF YOUR HANDS” the code for Eliza was in there too. What a score that was. Since then, Tekken hasn’t left my side. God what a happy day it was when they announced armor king as dlc. I felt like I was so back. While I played it a lot online and with some fighting game friends, I actually play competitive smash bros as my hobby, and Kazuya has been my main in there since his release. Seeing Kaz in smash felt so vindicating, like tekken can stand with all these amazing game franchises as one of the worlds best series. I still play Kaz in smash, and I am actually playing tekken 8 right now, typing between matches haha. Playing Kazuya for now, but I know I’ll be at full strength when Armor King is inevitably announced as DLC. In the meantime, I’ll always be ready for some good-ass tekken 👊🏼

Maaaaaan. This was so heartwarming. No idea someone could feel this way about the lore and plot of a fighting game of all things. I played a good amount of Tekken 3, and Tekken is the only fighting game franchise I enjoy playing, even though I SUCK at fighting games. But watching this video, and hearing about all your experiences... Man, it reminded me of how I felt growing up with JRPGs. This truly was a love letter to the franchise, and I thank you for putting this out there

I was brought up on Tekken , I brought my first console ps1 , when I just started work & spent my week's wage buying the console 🥰

So I'm not the only one that's fairly sure they started with Tekken 4. Not just in the franchise, but fighting games in general. Though for me it started not at home, but at the arcade I used to bother my parents to take me to as a kid. Tekken 4 opened up a whole new world of games to me. So much so that not only are fighting games my favorite genre, but also.....pretty sure everyone that knows me personally considers Tekken a key "canon event" part of my "brand" and I can't argue. 😂

This video is very well made , got me a little teary

As a guy who has born early 90s it does feel weird heard early 00 nostalgia from someone who has born year 2000 XD But great video! Your editing is very impressive :) this content deserves more views

This video is super well done and wholesome. I loved watching it from start to end. Jin is also my favorite too so more bias there. I subbed and hope you great success. Cheers!

Very well done video. I thought you have had thousands of subscribers. Keep it up bro. And fantastic home video footage in the beginning. I got that same figure as a kid!

Such an amazing video! Well said and thank you for sharing your experience with this beloved series of mine 🥰👊🏻 subscribed 🙌🏻💯

This is an amazing video man! I wish you all the best and hope you're loving Tekken 8

This video deserves to be recognized, this is such a heartwarming and pleasing video, the pacing and editing is done really good! I can’t believe you have less than a 1k subscribers! I thought I clicked on a video of a popular and already well established channel‼️

Hey, this is such a well edited and animated video, i thought you had to at least have 100k followers and was surprised you only had 600. Great story telling and wishing you success.

I started playing Tekken 4 first back in Italy in late 2007 with King, whom lately became my fav on T4 till'now, T3 is the one of them where I really improved myself with Yoshimitsu & Tekken 5 thanks to a Colombian friend of mine. Big Nostalgia! 8:27 Every time I went on story mode was bc of the crazy artworks & different life telling.

You are definitely the best upcoming RU-vidr I’ve ever seen. Keep it up, just by being you, you’re amazing

great video, definitely subscribed after this one

I’d like to personally thank you for recommending me the Tetsuman manga. The story is pretty alright any satisfies my Asuka loving heart and the fan service is top tier. Man I love her and Xiaoyu. That said, a 10/10 video. The fact that you assumed Kazuya was Jin’s brother gives me a sense of nostalgia cause I was that kid too back then. My first Tekken was the first Tekken game, played on Namco’s 50th anniversary disc game on the PS2. Though I wasn’t really aware of it that much at the time, it’s my first owned Tekken game. Since I played Tekken 5 with my cousin’s disc. Also due to me just picking things and not reading things 100% I was weirded out why Jin Kazama didn’t have bangs when I played it turns out it was Kazuya. Now that I think about it, my first Tekken was either the first one or the 5th one played on my cousin’s PS2. The Tekken game I played the most is 6 on my PSP and boy, the amount of hours I spent on that game just playing VS Ghost. Think the highest rank I reached was Legend with Jin Kazama and I played the game damn well often. I’m personally a massive Jin fan honestly, since the day I saw him the first time I just knew he’s the one, over time I ended up maining Jin, Devil Jin, Lars, Hwo and Asuka but Jin and DVJ remains the top regardless. Man, I wish one day I have the chance to play T2,3 and 4. It looks fun but I never had the chance to play them. Often times I’d visit the arcade to play TT2 so there’s that too! Everything aside, this whole video touched my heart (especially the intro) and I’m glad you made it and with the release of Tekken 8, after finishing it, I’d like to say that as a Jin fan that’s been his fan since my eyes first laid on him, they gave us a masterpiece.

What a wholesome video. Loved it. I grew up with Tekken as well. Still playing it to this day. These days I am maining Nina in T8.

Kingdom Hearts OST in the intro, a man of culture 👌

Subscribed, Excited for tekken 8 videos to come hehe.

Hwoarang for life since three he has been my fav and main. great video man my nostalgia for the series mirrors yours👍

Banger video dude, I was shocked when I realised your sub count. Liked and subbed my man.

You're young. I started same as you and was happy about it same as you but with tekken 1 and 2. Nice intro!

That Devil Jin costume is epic! Your have cool ass parents!

Paul and Jin were my mains too, then Hwarong.

I’m so glad I was recommended this video because I share some of the feelings here. My first tekken was tag 1 and imo that intro is slightly higher than 5 for me just because of the feeling the game and it’s music gave me. I remember being creeped out by the jacks and playing rounds with my brother. I’d also have to thank tekken for my music taste as well as the edm and techno is what I first think of when I think tekken.

amazing video man, please keep it up !!

Dude I love your editing.

EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! Man great surprise. You RULE

that background music is the real nostalgia for real for real!!!!

My first contact with fighting games was my neighbours beating my *ss in Tekken 6 on their PS3. Coming back to Tekken 8 now after more than ten years....feels so good. Like coming home, for real.

As a kid, Tekken 3 was the first video game I ever played. Tekken 4 was the gave I could never have because my parents couldn't afford to get games everytime they released, so when it was available at Blockbuster. Here is a story about me getting Tekken 5. Growing up, (this may disgust some so sorry about the upcoming story) I had a issue with biting my fingernails and my aunty would always want me to stop but being a kid I just wouldn't. So she made a deal with me, with a legit contract. The deal was that I stop doing it for 3 months and she will buy any 1 video game I wanted. I managed to do it, and when I was going to the Warehouse, I remember seeing Tekken 5 for the first time, and immediately running to the game holder and saying "THIS!" And she realised it was Tekken (she was a PS1 gamer) and she got it for me. I will always remember earning the game and I still play it to this day and the nail issue had stopped after that contract lol. Ahh the memories.....

Damn kid you getting those tekken figures is like the most heart warming thing to see. I remembered playing tekken tag with my friends it was great

dude went for the neck on that intro! man i was just thinking about how wholesome that was for the first 3 mins of the video lol i was born in 88, i remember my parents were in a bowling league and i would stare at the attract demo fortekken 3 for hours trying to find dropped quarters to play. we eventually got it on ps1 the rest was history.

Ah Tekken 4, I see your a connoisseur of fine arts aswell.

❤ Bro you are so young, im star with Tekken 1 on arcades in 1995 😅

Hey man this was a good video. Thanks for sharing your experience. I can tell you put a lot of passion into the video. I can 100% relate with looking up lore video on fighting games. For me that game was king of fighters where I did that. Also on the topic of tekken, my first one I believe was tekken tag one and tekken 5 I played those as a kid with my dad, and for some reason tekken 4 eluded me all these years and it’s only recently I saw what it looked like. Wish I would’ve got to play it back in the day, but hey at least I bought a copy recently and I got to try it, and casually it’s very fun despite all the videos saying it is the black sheep of the series.

This video turned out to be something truly special, i'm glad it appeared in my recommended. Make sure to post a video on T8!

this video is pure wholesome

My man,, you gotta upload more videos!! You have then structured soo well!! Also, I want to hear you talk about T8 😆. But for real, these are great! Keep it up!

Literally same bruh, Tekken 4 was the first game I ever played and I've been a king main ever since
