I'm still upset that all the DLC collections for _Smash 4_ cost, in total, *way* more than the game itself, even though the DLC has less total content.
Because it is bloated with the different mii fighter costumes. Just count the price of the characters and stages, and it is nowhere near as much. However, in Smash 4's case, the base game gives you such a ridiculous amount of content that even without the DLC you have a packed game, so Smash 4 should be the last game to mention when amount of content comes into question.
My dad made me some demonic purple wings one year out of silk... I never appreciated what he did for me enough. I do now. And now he's gone. Miss you dad, our memories together are AMAZING.
Tekken 2 is probably my favorite out of the first three. I remember spending many dollars playing it in arcades as a youngster. The roster is massive, it's very playable, and the characters are interesting and unique. My favorite has to be Jun. Her combos and fighting style are really smooth and fun, and she's cute in her alternate costume.
pretty sure a whole ago he said that with his new format he would focus more on the game play and how it works instead of going over all late game ending stuff.
Here's the best thing i ever found out myself in this game: TRIANGLE is the key! (right punch) After getting knocked down you have to mash UP on the DPad und TRIANGLE. just hittem fast. Your character gets up rather quick instead of just laying there, waiting for a ground pound or low left kick. Even after Heihachi's power bomb, you are able to get up FAST and Block any attack he throws at you! (Tried it after finding TeKKen3's UKEMI rather useful...but it's a much different mechanic. Ukemi is timing the button just once. My trick is just mashing up and right punch, and THEN timing the blocks, once you're up!) My lil secret. I hope this helps you, my Students... Now get out there and win some fights!!!
I've played a little bit of tekken 2 in my university days. The only real tekken game I had invested a lot of time into was tekken 3 but even to this day I have still not completed a tekken game. I do intend on owning all the tekken games that were released in north america but free time is very scarce in my life so all in due time.
Tekken 2 is still my favourite, the synth drenched soundtrack just tops it over Tekken 3 for me and old school Devil Kazuya was badass!. It’s the only fighting game I am still addicted to 25 odd years later
I'm looking forward for Tekken 3, then Tekken Tag Tournament. I wouldn't mind a multi-speed review of Street Fighter x Tekken and the MvC/CvS series. one can dream....
Aw man! He forgot to mention that if you unlike everything, then you also gain access to Kazuyas sweet purple suit outfit by pressing start on his portrait.
Some character endings felt rushed like the secret characters (Devil,Angel,Alex,Roger) but all together this game was pure golden for its time and still its a major joyride to revisit again
When my family got a PS1 a copy of Tekken 2 was, mysteriously, included in the box. My dad bought a bundle from a store which included a number of games (most of which we traded in for other stuff). What was NOT included in the bundle were three games that turned out to be promotional copies that the store was sent for display. I don't know if this was standard for them or if we just got really lucky. We thought they were demos until I started playing Tekken 2 and... it never stopped. The other two were not good games but Tekken 2 was a house favourite. None of us were ever particularly good at the game but we had a lot of fun. My dad was very smug when he discovered that Wang, the old man character, was actually shorter than all the other characters - short enough that Devil's eyebeam attack couldn't hit him. I remember really enjoying my own realisation - that Angel was shorter than Devil, and therefore the same attack from her was fully capable of hitting Wang. That first match where my dad cockily stood still while I fired my laser was soooo satisfying. Then some jerk kids deleted all the data on our memory card and I had to unlock every character again.
Favorite character? Lei... Its Jackie Freaking Chan!! Sure, Law is the Legend that is Bruce Lee, but almost every fighter has a Bruce Lee homage. I can't think of many fighters that pay homage to Jackie Chan
Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) I don't see any connection between Paul and Chuck Norris. Isn't Norris' Martial art Karate? Paul's is Judo with a bit of street brawling, plus he looks nothing like Chuck. The only things they have in common is that they're American and practice a martial art. Forest is still a Bruce Lee homage like his dad, down to his looks, and his high pitched shouts being iconic to Bruce's style, plus his fighting style is Bruce's Jeet-Kun-Do, and he has an alternate costume that pays homage to Bruce Lee's Game of Death
+Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) was Brandon a Martial Artist? Doesn't mater, fact remains, Forest is a Bruce homage. Plain and simple
In Tekken 2, i can remember FONDLY that "side-stepping" was only accesible to certain characters who had a move(s) that allowed them to move into the foreground or background. Kazuya did it automatically by tapping forward (called mist step), Heihachi had it in the form of running away from the opponent (
I remember unlocking Devil and Angel finally and being like YESSSS. It was so fun to play as those characters and tear ass. When this game first came out I remember my stepdad bringing it home and I remember playing this game until I unlocked everything and everyone and got that piercing gaze at the title screen.
Paul and Michelle. Their soundtracks are amazing. Paul's special attack, that charging punch is just amazing. While Michelle's combos feel really swift to do, even when you do them wrong. I've completed Tekken 2 back then when i was really into fighting games, didn't really understand the story behind it, but it was amazing that just EVERY character had an ending.
so happy to have grown up with these classic games. Got the playstation in 1998 and tekken 2 was on the demo disc that you got with the console and ever since then tekken became my favourite traditional beat em up series
back in the days of arcades my friend and i actually used to compete and sometimes win the Tekken tag tournament at the local mall. this is the only fighting game I really love. I had forgotten all about it for the last couple years. thanks for the reminder, albeit a slightly off reminder.
It was fun. The story and the characters motivations and personalities were changed a lot from the games, as an adaptation it is pretty bad and that is why people don't like it. If you pretend the movie is not named Tekken it is a fun B movie
hey jirard I just recently watched your documentary by good blood. I just want to thank you so much for caring about your subscribers and working as hard as you do. Have a great day man.
Tekken 2 was a huge part of my childhood. The biggest thing I liked about it, was the awesome soundtrack for each character. Both the original Arcade soundtrack and the Arranged soundtrack made solely for the PS1 are awesome, though Arranged really pushed the PS1 to it sound making limitations. You just don't get that kind of stuff with today's fighters.
That’s the only way to beat the CPU sometimes. If you use tactics that’d work on humans, they’ll punish since they react based on your control input and not a visual reaction.
Anytime I face someone or a CPU doing that BS.....it irritates me and I be in a zone to block em, find an opening, and embarrass them....specially if I'm playing Kazuya. 😡 *spinning demon kick* *uppercut* ✊🏾💥
+Bruce Doughty it's not that hard man. I have two more trophies to go before my platinum in Xenoverse, and they both require super lucky RNG, but other than that the game isn't that hard to complete.
+Synyster44 That would be the problem though lots of RNG is required also Xenoverse has been out for at least a year now and you still don't have 100%, he would only have a week.
King, and Leo are my fav to play in the Tekken series. I love the grapple combos King has, and I like instances of tapping into my 6th sense and countering multiple attacks with Leo. When that happens I feel like I can prediction the future.
_"First you get the Devil, then you get the power, then you get the woman."_ Kazuya in Tekken 2 is basically Tony Montana. He starts from the bottom and reaches the top, earning the Zaibatsu and using it to commit horrendous actions. And he has a badass purple suit and a sidestep into Wind God Fist (:
QOTD: I always ALWAYS play as King 'cause when I first played Tekken 3 at this hotel's arcade, I saw this awesome half-jaguar half-man creature and said "AWESOME!". It was later that I found out he was just a luchador wrestler with a big heart... Still cool though.
Great overview and take on the game. When my wife and I were visiting family in the late 90's, my 2nd cousin had Tekken 2. My wife was not a gamer then, but after seeing everyone play it, she wanted a turn. She was hooked immediately, and when we got home, she wanted a PlayStation the next day. We went out and bought the DualShock model, and a copy of Tekken and Tekken 2. The original felt pretty clunky in comparison to the sequel, so we didn't play it much, but Tekken 2 got a fair bit of play. Tekken 3 was out at that time, so when we picked it up, that got all of our attention, and we spent hours and hours unlocking everything the game had to offer. Sadly, my wife lost interest in console gaming a couple years later, but those late nights of Tekken 2 and 3 were magical, and memories that I will always cherish from early in our marriage. I look forward to when you do a video on Tekken 3, because I still think it's arguably the best game in the franchise.
Lei Wulong. Hands down. He's my favorite. So upset they don't have him in 7. He's got this really awesome fighting style. And he can switch them up and take out opponents at a whim. He's super agile and a really complex versatile character.
My very first game on the Playstation. I didn't have a memory card for the first year, so I had to keep beating the game every time I played to unlock new characters. Good time.
This game just MADE a chunk of my childhood. The disk i had was a bit scratched by the time i finished the game with certain characters, so i couldn't see all the endings : ( Thanks youtube for helping me to solve that : )
Loved this as a kid, the Jackie Chan and Jet Lei characters were my favorites. Remembered a arcade had this hooked up to a body controller where you had to punch and kick for real to get them to punch and kick, didn't work very well but was still fun :D
I miss having to unlock characters in fighting games. It was always the most satisfying thing to do. I feel more enticed to try out a character knowing that I earned it.
