TMM Reviews The Tekken 4 Endings 

"Ain't my style." will forever be Paul Phoenix's character defining moment from me, regardless of what they did to him after this game.

You ain’t got one? *WELL I DO*

I find Tekken 4 to be most fascinating out of all Tekken games. Some day I'd like to see like a documentary about development of Tekken 4 from pre-production to alpha,beta and final product.

Interviewer (to Christie): "So tell us, what was the key to your victory?" Christie: "Most likely button mashing."

Tekken 4 is pure soul, it is what a fighting game should look like about stage, history, musics. Best Tekken in terms of that, but we know the gameplay was broken.

Jin's VA speaking English was really impressive, if anything it added to Jin's character

Best moment: Paul actually being a good character Worst moment: Hwoarang’s voice actor

I like how Jin was realistically struggling a little to speak English fluently. Seems like either a nice attention to detail or the English voice actor just sucked.

I cry because this is the first tekken I played, and reminds me of the good old days that are never coming back

Well Jin English may have sound meh but at least they tried to implement language barriers instead of just completely ignoring it and just be like everyone speaks thier own crap and everyone magically understand one another bs

Tekken 4 Endings: Sensible and meaningful endings for each character. Tekken 7 Endings: Eddy: "Where's Kazuya?!" Lucky Chloe: "RIGHT HERE IN MY PU-"

Paul has a nice moment in T5 if you lose to him in Law's story. Law needs the money and Paul only wants the glory so Paul promises to give him the money when he wins. I think that all his current incarnation needs to work is to inject a little heart into it.

5:28 The way Heihachi busts the door open and the screen got bigger lmao

Tekken 8 needs to be Tekken 4 story, atmosphere and stage wise again. Tekken 5 content wise and Tekken 7 gameplay wise, with no rage art.

Fun fact: the guy who complained about his spicy pepper beef is voiced by Rob Paulsen, best known as Yakko Warner from Animaniacs, among other noteworthy roles.

Tekken 4 wasn't the first I played, but it was the first game in the series I owned. Such good memories with this game. RIP Tekken Force mode

The Kazuya ending scared me as a kid

Tekken 4’s story and atmosphere was fantastic. It’s just needed to be fleshed out and fixed, and it could’ve been really special.

Should review the Prologues. They're badass for the most part.

No one: Lei Wulong: *FUREEZE!!*

Gotta agree that it seemed Bryan was supposed to have a much more involved and deeper role in the story going forward, but then they turned him into that lovable laughing killing machine with no real purpose in life but indiscriminate slaughter.

ALL THE ENDINGS ARE SO GOOD IN TEKKEN 4!

That line "STUPID WOMAN!" at 14:37 never gets old.

My childhood, in every single ending of this game

jin had a crazy aesthetic in tekken 4

Goddamn, Tekken 4 STILL looks so good.

I liked Marduck's ending in this. It gave him depth. But then they turned him into a mindless brute in 5 *edit* Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way

We can all agree Isshin Chiba is a legend.

To be honest, I don’t think there was a single bad ending in this game. Even Xiaoyu and Panda. In a game with such a serious harsh tone to it, the writers did well with these endings relative to the characters. Xiaoyu is a young Japanese school student so it’s only natural that she loves to dream about the future and Jin. The endings did well to reflect that and change the mood up a bit. Well done. Wish I could leave more than a like on this video, amazing stuff TMM. Let’s also not forget that HARADA was in the chat! Hopefully he took some influence from TMM and the chat for the next tekken game....

heihachi isn't redefined in Tekken 7, all of his 'goody two shoes' stuff in T7 is him putting an act on to keep the Mishima Zaibatsu in a good light. Its the reason why he let the journalist in on his version of the Kazumi story. he's not good, he's just interested in taking out the devil gene to protect his own interests

Steve’s story with Nina was picked back up in Tekken 7

Bryan's ending doesn't get as much love as it should.

I'll never forget the first time I got a PS2 my dad got us Tekken 4 and The Terminator. Tekken was my first fighting game as a kid and it completely set the bar for any other fighting game for that matter. Instantly became a huge fan of Tekken and never looked back since!

Kazyua ending scared the shit out of me as a kid it’s still gives me goosebumps

5:29 perfect timing

I take it you're also not a fan of Xiaoyu's astoundingly long ending in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

22:41 “Launch punish the customer” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m so dead

18:59 *Kazuya turns into Thanoszuya*

I'd like to see main man do his top tier character design from previous games

I will always use any excuse to say how godlike they made Jin is in this game. Everything, from his story, his moveset, his costume, his ending, all point to a singular concept of not running away from the devil inside you and instead learning to control it as it is an unremovable part of your being. I mean, just look his costume. It's equal parts black and white, cut right in the middle. His tattoo, which has a circular or oval form, is in his back. Because it's in the middle of the line, half of it is black and the other half white. That's yin and yang. The principle that true harmony can only be achieved by balancing the light and dark side of yourself. Or consider his ending. He was going to give in to the devil gene but flashes of his mother stopped him. Seeing Buddha, the Enlightened One, helped Jin to understand what he must do. He let go of his hate by sparing Heihachi, flying away while a singular white feather floated on to the ground, hinting that Jin is on his way to true enlightenment. This is why I'm so disappointed that in every iteration of Tekken after this, Jin is back to trying to get rid of the devil gene, going so far as to wage world war to do so, and not even succeeding. I feel like they took several steps back on his character development after 4. They even took away his costume.. 😞

Jeff Slater is my favorite Tekken character.

Damn, Lei was KO'd by one ultimate tackle from Steve? And they say his Tekken 5 incarnation was strong.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, T4 is the last Tekken game where every match felt like a real street fight. It's overall atmosphere, story, and announcer/music set the bar so high and none of the sequels have come close to it. Too many people complained so it never evolved into the more balanced, perfect fighter that it simply should've been.

Julia’s ending had me dying lmao

I like Niner's weird ass alien face in this game too. She looks like what a person could look like, instead of a barbie doll like every other female fighting game character.

6:42 That Heihachi laugh 😂 Daisuke Gori absolutely nailed it. RIP Gori and his TT2 and Tekken 7 VA Unshō Ishizuka

I miss this paul

Can we all just appreciate that tekken 4 still looks fuckin good

22:58 A wild Harada spotted

T4 Jin, refuses to kill Heihachi and Kazuya and succumb to the devil gene. T5 and T6 Jin, plunges the world into chaos, resulting in millions of death while using the devil gene's power.

33:10 paul and law love for each other speak so much here, their love for each other and to fighting was poetry, paul abandoning his show act to be himself again on the motorcycle pursuing the excitement in fighting... they don't make them like they used to

7:34 Harada has stated it before that Kazumi's and Jinpachi's storyline was decided back when T1 was written.

The darkest and the best tekken, but I recall that Bryan project was unfinished because he awoke earlier in tekken 5 so he is still rotting to this T7 Bryan

Yushimitsu's ending is my favorite of Tekken 4 endings R.I.P Daisuke Gōri what a great voice actor of Heihachi Mishima 💔

11:54 “omae wa Koko de shine” Me: I KNOW THOSE WORDS!!!

Xiaoyu is so cute! This was my favorite ending of all! Also the other girl is Miharu Hirano and is playable in Tekken 4 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

Nice choice of topic. Loved the endings and overall feel of this game to no end. Countless hours of Battles on The Building, The Airport and Honmaru! Those stages and beats though 🙌🏿 On that thought TMM, Why do a video on the stages and or music of a Tekken installment . Or each of them over time ✊🏿

Whether it was the result of laziness and/or appealing to the wrong crowd, everything after this game went to shit.

No one: Lei: FRIZ!

Even Tekken 4 Heihachi, the evil, greedy, and menacing Heihachi, works well in comedic scenes (Kuma's Ending) and still not break character.

24:35 i keep watching this over to watch lee change to his stance bruh

Though it was neat that you could be a giant bear in Tekken 3, Tekken 4 is really what turned me into a Kuma fan. Now here we are at Tekken 7 and he's my favorite character. Truly being fleshed out into a mix-up character as crazy as the prospect of fighting a bear in a kung fu tournament

"An orangutan that died two years ago" I'm dead. 🤣🤣🤣 Also you completely skipped Combot's ending actually

Marduk was a silent beast in T4. Interesting to see how he turned out now lol

Dude christe was handled pretty respectfully. I know you hate tekken endings after this and I agree the realness is there but damn give the writers credits where it's due.

24:44 for the bois

To be fair to Paul, his Tekken 2 and 3 ending was comical to say the least

Jin: "I have no sexual urges what so ever" Looks at his father and his grandfather "I'm about to end your whole career!"

Man, I wish Feng was in Tekken 4. He had character depth in 5 but he barely has had any dialogue since then. He may not be a joke character but he's a bunch of reused sounds just standing there.

Heihachi is a good guy in T7 because he's Joseph Joestar. He was just trolling before, never did any bad thing

I can HEAR the thumbnail.

i really like tekken 4's ending cause most of them could be and maybe are canon. to bad they never did anything with the others and only focused on the mishima's

That’s actually Marduks parents. Tmm trolling as always

I like how in Hwoarangs ending there are so many soldiers shooting them and they can casually jog behind to the car and they dont even try to move and shoot them

I think the problem is they got criticism over trying to be too realistic (eg changing Devil from possession into a genetic thing, replacing Mokujin with a clunky looking robot, not having a supernatural final boss etc) and decided they needed to throw out EVERYTHING that Tekken 4 established with Tekken 5.

TEKKEN 4 ENDINGS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN > TEKKEN 7 ENDINGS

Fun fact: the music in christies ending is a remix of Kitsch/Beach theme which is a remix of Tigers Tekken 3 ending music

This is when you realize that tekken 4 panda has more lore than the half of tekken 5 characters

The epic prologues in this game engross you in the story as well, which add to the endings like for Paul, Jin, Kazuya, and King. I remember for King: "Armor King was murdered. King is entering the tournament to get revenge on his killer." It's never stated who the killer is, but you connect the dots and then it's revealed in his ending that it's the new character, Marduk. That kind of storytelling makes you want to play the story with each character.

Damn, Paul be picking up that hot chick in a fur coat, like a boss!

Remember classic Yoshimitsu

Man, it'd be so fucking dope if he actually got to be the voice of Lars.

"In Tekken 5 Paul was changed into Law's comic relief friend" Uh, he was already that in *Tekken 2* . Watch Law's Tekken 2 ending.

I remember my first time seeing Christie being so confused my the only word she seemed to know was "EDDY!"

Lei's ending in 4 really feels more like a Jackie Chan movie than 5 and 6 (although i liked them both). More stunts involved, the pacing, the music and overall the action comedy feel to it.

Plot twist: Paul really does die in his ending, and its canonical; everything onwards from Jin taking the Zaibatsu to a dying Heihachi is all just a dream

the soundtrack of T4 is just like out of this vvorld.

30:22 That moment when Xiaoyus worries ended up coming true (for a moment)

I think the comment by the random dude on the twitch chat at 17:42 where he's saying imagine kazuya screaming stupid woman is a possibility if ever Kazuya and Jun met up again and somehow decided to have an English voice actor.

Yeah, if the story and/or atmosphere of Tekken 8 can be akin to Tekken 4's (although hella unlikely), that would be nice. Hell, I wouldn't mind if they took another crack at featuring stage designs similar to Tekken 4 while fleshing them out so there's no unfair advantage for either player.

NEXT WATCH TEKKEN 5 ENDING, ADRIAN 😆😆😆

6:50 "an age of Darkness" ? T7 begs to differ

Tekken 2 and 4 are my favs. Tekken 4 had some great ideas great endings and nice unique stages.

Tekken 4 had the unadmirable job of following up Tekken Tag. No chance.

"No wonder Jin's a virgin" LOLOLOLOLOLOL

That Heihachi and his anti-devil chains

32:17 very late but is no one gonna talk about how spot on that impression was???? It favored a bit more kazuya imo naturally since this is mainman lol

Why does everybody hates xiaoyu? She’s just a good hearted naive little girl. What’s so annoying you people?

Looking back on it, seeing Kazuya laying unconscious on the ground with Heihaichi running his mouth talking shit is just hilarious to me

Steve & that dempsey roll.
