Tekken is still weird and that’s what makes it great

Tekken is still weird and that’s what makes it great

Tekken is a celebration of mixed martial arts as it was for just a brief, magical moment. Sloppy, awkward, funny, and surprising. It's a combat sandbox for adult martial arts nerds longing for the days before Under Armor and rear naked chokes. A return to a world where you believed that if you grabbed a guy's wrist a certain way, he'd fall over. It was a beautiful dream, and Tekken is out here keeping it alive. I love Tekken. Tekken 7 was a huge bonding experience for me and bro. At T7's launch i was sitting on a suitcase as a chair with a tiny USB cord to his PC. He'd been playing all day so of course he whooped my ass. T8 came out recently and we cracked a few beers and played some tekken and tekken ball. I love Tekken and I love my bro.

It's been years since I first watched Pat's How to get started with fighting games and have a nice time. I'm now watching this video with countless hours in Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, and now over 100 in Tekken 8 since its release in January, and I can confidently say that I am having a Nice Time with fighting games. Thanks, Pat!

Man, the first 30 seconds have me HOOKED, Pat. I'm still a sucker for style vs. style competitions even though it's kinda bogus. The thing that has always been neatest about MMA is when unique discernable styles clash and we get to see the fun interactions. The unique real fighters who remain like Kyoji Horiguchi are true treasures.

Tekken is also positively weird in it's gameplay and game mechanics. It's unfair, inconsistent, untraditional, and bold in many ways, but in a fun and intelligent way.
Tekken is a prime example why having a game director who actually invented and cares about the game is so important. He knows what's good.

Everything you commended Tekken for, can also be found in the unsung fighter, Dead Or Alive: ) Additionally, I find its strikes-throws-holds system rewards adaptation and improvisation nicely, as opposed to memorizing and executing long combos which I just don't find that interesting.

Tekken will always be the game where I feel like Jet Li in Kiss of the Dragon. Specifically the scene where he fights some twins and one of them is a really good kickboxer. Jet adjusts mid fight to make the kickboxer only box him. It’s a fun movie! Great job with this video!

Tekken is a game that 18 years old me can play with a Grizzly bear who knows mishima style karate againt his 48 years old uncle who plays the bruce lee character and having a blast with it

I kept wondering throughout the video where is he going with this but now I understand, Tekken is a beautiful game to watch in motion with all it's mixed fighting styles

Inoki's iconic performance would go on to inspire Tekken 8's Xiaoyu and her too low almost non existent hitbox, way to show your inspiration, Harada and team
reply

It's a good narrative but, aren't you going to mention virtua Fighter the more grounded Martial arts sim that tekken was made to directly compete with
reply

Tekken is a real life bell curve of both experts and noobs just mashing stuff with whiny nerd in the middle talking about combos and winning.
reply

I think it is exactly that confrontation between different styles that drew me to Tekken too, although of course there is a strong dose of habit
reply

MMA only wins because you can't use weapons or permanently disable your opponent. In real life the winner is the guy with the gun
reply

One thing Tekken does better than any other fighting game is making it feel like your individual punches and hits have a big impact.
reply

Video about fighting games that mostly talks about the history of martial arts in the 90's Now THIS is what a real video should be
reply

Yeah, Tekken is great. Being 3d it also avoids those finicky stick movements of 2d fighters so it's a lot more approachable.

Video by Patrick Gill. Story Editing by Simone De Rochefort Of course Lili's sister was involved in the making of this video
