100 Tekken Facts & Secrets Special

Tekken Series (Including Tekken 8) - Fun Facts, Hidden Details & References. This fighting game franchise has a lot of Easter eggs. All the information was gathered from official sources & Tekken community.

[@buffgigas]

This is Part 3 of the series, please check out the previous episodes here Part 1 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqOQiIenbMZmisU Part 2 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/inrOYYaAn9-feLc

[@josephnakau-be4sw]

Another fun detail: In the Tekken 4 opening, Heihachi is seen wearing a tiger coat. Meaning that after he killed Kazumi, he turned her pet tiger into clothes.

[@GeZz.]

if that is real, i believe it, because that is what Hei would do... LOL

[@djungelskog2654]

he would totally do that

[@user-np3cp2cb7u]

i remember that!

[@tacitozetticci9308]

nah he was always a very humane bloke, he probably euthanised the cat with a single OTGF

[@sonamchoda2349]

for real

[@X-Axel]

Kazuya being friends with Shion is just hilarious, the fact that she's from the future makes it even more funny.

[@nuredingeziqi679]

Kazuya recognizing that Paul isn't how he used to be, especially seeing as he was on equal terms with him, is genuinely so sad. The only thing I hoped for Paul in Tekken 8 was that he would kind of "regress" to when he wasn't an absolute idiot, which seemingly was put to the forefront once again. Such a damn shame Character wise, Ogre's killer remains a buffoon.

[@ShiftingCloudsYT]

I partly think they turned him into a gag character cuz he wasn’t really designed well to begin with. His quest to be the strongest in the universe? There are so many Tekken chars stronger than him, that if they wanted to, could realistically kill him. So I think they made it more of a joke cuz it kinda is.

[@Hidden_lvl]

​@@ShiftingCloudsYTPretty lame to do so. Obviously he wouldn't be the strongest but he used to be one of the strongest. Dude beat Ogre and tied with Kazuya at some point. Just keep him pushing for the strongest without being a joke.

[@lilpanadero]

It’s a japanese game so naturally they would want the strongest and appealing characters to be japanese

[@dojojoe2861]

Exactly well said

[@Dee1xp]

That’s all I really want, jus for Paul to be what he meant to be. I’m tired of him being a joke character. This man held his own with the Mishimas. This man beat Ogre. Like bruh give us the real Paul Phoenix, not this guy who wants to fight aliens and bears and be the so-called toughest in the universe, give me the real Paul Phoenix back.

[@OSEAN64]

Yoshimitsu being a gamer is something I nevero knew I needed

[@stillzeuvermensch7646]

Yoshimitsu gaming real Pog

[@crawlingboy]

yoshimitsu would totally do 48 hour endurance streams

[@veto_5762]

Yoshi gaming

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

Just like the Character Luke from Street Fighter 5/6

[@DubbyDubsz]

He been gaming. Some cut scenes from earlier games show him in an arcade. I think some of the game booklets also gave that detail as well if I'm not mistaken.

[@ZanarGaming]

Wow Harada explaining how all the story in TTT1 and TTT2 is just Ganryu's fantasy is mad, didn't know that

[@DarkOverlord96]

To be fair, makes sense given that they're games with both Michelle and Julia in it.

[@ukathecoward5371]

Yeah I feel betrayed a lil bit 😂

[@otaking3582]

But then why would he imagine himself being arrested for voyeurism?

[@lucassmith4137]

​@@otaking3582 Because nothing needs to make sense in the world of Tekken Tag Tournament.

[@GameJoltTobi]

so uh, what the hell is Unknown then

[@paulawbswbs]

-Another Fact: Jin uses "Kimi" when he talkes to Xiaoyu. "kimi" is a very close way of talking with someone and shows their closeness. While Jin talks with Kazuya, Heihachi and so on the mostly uses "Kisama" which means "bastard". Xiaoyu on the otherhand uses "Keigo" when she takes to Jin. "keigo" is a respectful way of talking to someone whos older than you. - All people close to Jin have a Bird as a smybol= Hwoaran Talcon, Jun Dove and Revan, Xiaoyu phonix - Yggdrasill (The name Lars did give the rebellion) is the worldtree in the norse mythologyie and brings all gods together - Leo uses the male way of talking in the german DUB ( ich glücklicher - i so lucky - male - female would be : ich glückliche) - Xiaoyu has move named after Jinrei Wang - All Mishima (read the Book the dark couse of the mishima) have the Kanji for "jin" and/or the Kanji for "Pachi" in their name. Yes even Kazuya.

[@mbfun9298]

Wise man is wise

[@sugoi9680]

Everyone knows Leo a dude but on some mad copium. I see people call him he as you would naturally then correct to "they" bruh.

[@RizalBoon]

4:02 "Yoshimitsu's hobby is playing video games". Now this is a trivia im interested at 😂

[@mat8791]

The reason Jin is the only one in the intro while you have Devil Jin as a tag partner is due to the fact you can switch into Devil Jin during gameplay, it's the same input as Kazuya's devil transformation but it uses the TAG button instead of 1+2. The pair also have unique win outros.

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

5:27 I wonder how Jinpachi would've looked in Tekken 4, given the massive difference in direction and visual style between 4 and 5

[@FaresHaroun1]

10:41 man, even kazuya agree with us.

[@TheSoCalledZoner1]

?

[@richieflores6617]

That detail about Hwoarang's rank in taekwondo is really cool and actually shows a lot in terms of character development!

[@Roderickthegray]

The T4 Jinpachi Mishima and Jun Kazama voice clip had me shook. Makes you wonder what they planned on doing with those two

[@BayuBaron]

"it's all Ganryu, YOU're playing a fantasy" is such a Harada statement. besides, "shut up I'm pissed"

[@ShaunInce123]

Kazuya's design being based off of Yuko Mishima is a fact I wasn't aware of. And his VS screen is heavily influenced by it.

[@jimmiejackson8489]

Right I was like REALLY !!!?

[@A-B101]

The first time I saw that picture of Yukio Mishima's eyes I immediately thought of Kazuya's T2 vs screen. On top of their appearance and their familiy name, they might even share the same philosophy, as the Mishima family in Tekken follow both a traditional martial arts and military based life; that would be something I'd like the future Tekken entries to expand upon.

[@sethgaston8347]

@@A-B101 You’re correct. Kazuya’s philosophy in T8 very strongly aligns with Yukio’s. Kazuya would be like Yukio’s favorite person ever with his strong reliance on fitness, perseverence, and honor; outside of the fact that he doesn’t seem to help others very much.

[@HoDoBoDo]

I remember the last fact. Kazuya in a really cringey way says "You killed my mother!?". I still have no idea to this day why that trailer had English voices lol.

[@gustavo_berkman]

7:09 ngl thats kind of, just a tad bit, just SLIGHTLY suspicious

[@dabgurlacc8458]

I was gonna say the same thing 😭✌🏾 -Yoshimitsu is hitting more then just controllers-

[@XTREMEKIWIable]

I’m honestly surprised that the Honda S2000 in the first TTT wasn’t just for show! Did some searching around the internet and Namco really made wonderful renders of the S2000 along with Lee.

[@hewhobattles8869]

So Tekken Tag 1 & 2 are both in Ganryu's fantasy? He must have Baki levels of imagination to memorize all the fighters, their moves, and motivations

[@OveReAction10]

Yet Ganryu himself got arrested

[@leonlegend]

Harada has a tendency to pull things right out of his ass. Like how he said Leo is a girl, only to go back on that statement, & how he didn't consider his characters as actual characters until the god awful Blood Vengeance film came out.

[@DigiCount]

Leo is AFAB. They told us what his dead name is.

[@DigiCount]

Also, "Ganryu's fantasy" explains why things are the way they are in those games. The sponsor for Tag 2 is Chanko Paradise, Ganryu's restaurant franchise, and his fishing boat is one of the stages. King II and Armor King II are buddies in Tag 2 despite only having negative interactions up until then because that's how Ganryu knows King and Armor King. Julia is much more prominent in Tag 2 than any main continuity game and gets an entire alter ego because Ganryu cares about her.

[@leonlegend]

@@DigiCount King II & Armour King II are only buddies if you put them on the same team. In both of their endings (as well as Marduk's & Jaycee's) they are enemies. With that logic, Yoshimitsu has forgiven Bryan (not that Bryan cares much for it). Julia already had a connection to King 2 through the latter's 1st story fight in Tekken 5, they most likely gave her the Jaycee gimmick because after Tekken 6 there was nowhere else to take her character. Also, a lot of the endings are canon. Not all of them, but the wrestlers, Steve, Leo & Alex, Roger Jr., Eddie & Christy (just to name a few) are canon Ganryu having a stage means nothing to support that claim & him having a sponsorship could very well just imply that he is a successful business man. If this really was Ganryu's fantasy, it would be a lot more degenerate. Just think about Ganryu's character for a second. In Tekken 1&2 he's after Michelle love, that's okay... 17 years later in Tekken 5, he's after Michelle's daughter, Julia. PLEASE LOCK GANRYU UP

[@Insomniaaron]

4:03 When you think Yoshimitsu has run out of ways to be the most awesome person ever, he's also a massive gamer nerd like all of us. 😊

[@AlexandruCatrina-bk6jg]

I hope he plays sonic frontiers

[@sethgaston8347]

@@AlexandruCatrina-bk6jg Knowing how much of a troll Yoshi is, he probably made multiple sock accts so he could rate that game 5 ⭐️’s 100 times 🤣

[@KingJaeTV]

5:11 Lei was the only Tekken 2 newcomer who made it to Tekken 3 out of the base roster. Bruce was new to Tekken 2 aswell.

[@Geekypoodle]

But bruce wasnt in tekken 3

[@johanandhira5429]

I never knew Mari Shimazaki was responsible for Jun's new design in Tekken 8. That kind of explains why I feel like the costume looks a little too "loud" for a woman of her caliber.

10:02 For Alisa's WS3, can also cancel before spinning by pressing/holding Back immediately ! Turns It from Ballarina move to Gymnastic move (Needle Pose). You are also able to cancel each spin up to 5th one by Holding Back. (Game does not mention this, please add !)

[@amirnaderi511]

Another fact : Kazumi Mishima and Heihachi Mishima, their names are written on the floorboards in heihachi's stage in tekken 2

[@PoL1sh3r_vids]

Tekken is one of Ed Boon's favorite fighting games, besides his own. Patrick Seitz, who voices Bob in Tekken 6 onward, also voiced Scorpion in MK9 and MKX.

[@eyalrephaeli6833]

Seitz also voiced Jin in Blood Vengeance

[@kagezen]

This was really a great video full of nostalgia! Thank you for having made it!

[@heckincat1406]

Seeing that letter from Kazuya to the player made me sad that I didn't get to experience the magical moments of earlier Tekken. Could you imagine some kid getting it and just being stoked that Kazuya Tekken sent him a personal letter? That's so cool.

[@gustyko8668]

3:39 weeeeeeeeeb!!!!! 🤣

[@Brouse5150]

8:00 as many times i randomly picked alisa and kept spamming buttons after the win, im surprised i didnt see this

[@stephen2624]

I love that Tekken has endured for nearyl 30 years now by walking the line between dark and camp... and great gameplay too.

[@legioner8536]

With Alisa, before the fight starts in the loading screen, press square, triangle and x at the same time, she will appear holding her head (Tekken 6 only)

[@DaniWonderworld]

Similarly, when you win a battle, holding 1+2 (T7, I think for T6 was the same input) her head will fall off at the end of the cutscene, but you have to keep pressing those buttons before the win cutscene starts (T6 and T7 still have it). Also, during gameplay in T6, if you have the battle chest/upper body (any color) and do Up + 1 + 2, she'll do something with her head and a bird will appear :)

[@agoul_kid-xx9pl]

6:15 no wonder they look exactly like each other

[@SuperMasterJefe]

5:43 gotta be real, Jin's best look and im still salty it didnt make the final cut

[@dionysysentertainer3261]

The Jack "Laser counter" is hitting 1+2 as they're getting fried and they regain some of their health back. Not doing so causes them to go haywire from the electricity where they do the windmill punches.

[@CrossfeetGaming]

0:30 - One exception: Alisa

[@davanime877]

Hearing Anna Williams calling you on the phone for your Pick Up Game is a blessing 😂

[@SylarGKIW]

I knew most of the facts, but it's always good to know something new. 1) Unused Tekken 4 voicelines was so surprising for me. 2) Xenosaga. I really wish to play Trilogy, but i didn't got a slightest chance sadly. The message from Kaz, was funny. 3) I didn't knew that you could restore a little HP in survival mode in T4 with Yoshi! To think i still keep learning something new!)))

We don't know if Lili is the youngest, many characters have "unknown" ages, like new Kunimitsu who is most likely younger. Also reminder that Marduk is 28 and Feng is 26, they both look at least 10 years older lol. Tekken character ages are an afterthought, I hope no one is taking them seriously.

The effect of the blinking Yoshimitsus is caused by the game teleporting one Yoshimitsu to both locations you see him in, but they do it every single frame. This goes by fast enough to seem like 2 Yoshimitsus, but slowing it down even slightly would break the illusion.
