Top 10 Tekken References In Other Games

[@9720muazkamenrider]

Your video is awesome 👍

[@ste9494]

Ergheiz was an amazing game, animations on that game for being ps1 was insane. They gotta make a game like that or a remaster I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.

[@AndresFnt]

The creator of Tekken left before 3 was completed but he owned the original cast of characters and created Jin before departing...Therefore he had the rights to use the head of Jin and last name of Mishima for Godhand. The T3 team stole God Hands body for Bryan Fury. Both God Hand and Bryan Fury are cyborgs..

[@Josie.770]

He even has Bryan's bullet belt

[@Shiratto]

@zoran6850Nope, from 3 onwards he was in charge but he was not in the beginning.

[@AndresFnt]

@Zoran Japanese are really secretive and don’t give interviews….What made Tekken 3 successful was the Hollywood cinematic feel of it. The opening demo movie of it was extraordinary well done for its tims. Kids these days would say it’s “lit”. Back then it was epic. It had the best graphics for a fighter on top of the best story and cinematic feel AND it had the largest roster and so many extras like the mini-games. It sold the best because it was given the biggest budget and the most effort

[@JorgeHighwind]

"The T3 team stole God Hand's body for Bryan Fury" Doesn't Tekken 3 predate Ergheiz by a whole year? And, even if it was the publisher for the arcade release, why would Namco have access to an in-game asset from a videogame made by another company (DreamFactory)? Btw what is the source for everything you said?

[@ScientologyHunter2]

@@JorgeHighwind Kinda sounds made up...my guess is god hand is just a reference to Tekken in general

[@julianbesem7718]

Heihachi made a Cameo in Idolmaster, Mokujin's Head is a Mask in Little Nightmares 2, Pauls (and Guiles) Hairstyles were in the older WWE games, and I remember reading somewhere that Mortal Kombats Onaga was inspired by True Ogre

[@KnightLineArtYT]

I'm pretty sure MK Armageddon also has Eddy's hairstyle you can choose from, I think Paul and Jin as well. Some non Tekken ones like Cloud and Sephiroth are there too.

[@philithegamer8265]

@charleshastings7260 I'm surprised that Tekken's fanbase is large enough to reache beyond so many popular culture references in other media.

[@CrazehBoi]

When did Heihachi show up in idolmaster?

[@Bs_Void]

@@CrazehBoi Apparently he's one of the backers of 765 Production

[@HoDoBoDo]

SC5 DJ was a tribute to Tekken 3 Jin, they took the Infinite combo that Jin had in that game, and made it a mechanic in SC5, exclusive to him.

[@Shiratto]

Funnily enough SC5 is my favorite version of the moveset cause it was closest to 5 and especially 6 which I have the most time in along with the nuttiness of that kinda reference and SC’s speed.

[@RJrockstars]

Wasn't an infinite in SCV either though because it used a half a bar of meter each time you canceled DF1.

[@junilog]

I mean, Pokken is Pokemon Tekken. Its existence is a reference to Tekken already

[@cd31000]

Let's be real, it's more generic anime fighting game than Tekken.

[@fahmi247]

And it made by Bandai Namco

[@Sean-D78]

@@cd31000 It's literally by the Tekken team with a similar art style and TONS of references in the moves, generic it's not.

I loved Pokken Tournament, It was one of the best Pokemon spin-off games It was made by the same devs of the Tekken series if I remember correctly, Harada was the producer

[@philithegamer8265]

Harada's a Mario fan?

[@megapokesonicx]

I'm not fully sure, but Heihachi did have a Mario costume in Tag 2 so maybe?

[@derovell]

The Bouncer also has some Tekken-inspired moves. I remember seeing twin pistons as well as some of Law's kicks.

[@VitorPinheiro]

That's because The Bouncer was developed by Dream Factory, the company created by Seiichi Ishii, who directed the first Virtua Fighter, as well as Tekken 1 and 2. After founding his own company, he created Tobal 1 and 2, Ehrgeiz, The Bouncer and Kakuto Chojin, and all of these games share a ton of recycled animations!

[@ThrashMetalWolf666]

@@VitorPinheiro DreamFactory doesn't recycle as much as you think. 90% of Tobal, Ehrgiez, and Kakuto Chojin's animations are original with only a few Tekken animations.

Neptunia cross tekken ref... Holy moly what an era to be alive for!!!!!

[@jaymthesn5981]

Tekken Ball is one of the greatest "Fun Mode" in a fighting game.

[@thebaku818]

Tekken in Neptunia is what's called a Maker, characters directly based on and named after real world companies and IPs, like God Eater and Nitroplus for the sake of some examples other than the creators' own in Compa and IF. KInd of a staple of the franchise and a nice thing that gives some personality to this reference fest of a series

[@mario19885]

0:47 That is SOOO interesting! I didn’t actually know that Raidou also shares his moveset to Heihachi Mishima! Plus it’s nice that there’s this Costume Mod that allows you to have Raidou cosplay as Heihachi in Dead or Alive 5. 😄

[@darkNovaskar]

The 3d fighting games becoming one universe and why not lol

[@tedjomuljono3052]

Well, Raidou's whole schtick is he steals moves from other fighters, just like Dural, or Ancient Ogre

[@NegoClau]

Urban Reign deserves a better polished sequel. It has potential.

[@Hussuki]

First an updated remaster or HD revival to create a new fan base. THEN an appropriate sequel should things go better than expected.

[@yoyo-co3tx]

Its the one of the best multiplayer experience ive had till today, have a 60gb ps3 so can still bust it out and game 4 player. It really should get a HD remake or sequal.

[@jayexld7770]

My brother and I had plenty fun with it. Old arena fighters were lit

[@aceg.rookie]

I think they best way to gauge interest is to bring a character over as a guest fighter in Tekken 8, the moves and animations of a lot of characters are taken from Tekken anyway so it should fit just fine.

[@NegoClau]

@@aceg.rookie I actually think Urban Reign's assets and gameplay fits for a Def Jam like game. Harada should talk to Snoop and pitch for a Death Row fighting game with those and their cast.

[@otaking3582]

Probably the weirdest Tekken reference is in Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi. The titular martial art is literally Finnish for "Steel Hand", as if someone at LucasArts just got a thesaurus (the devs even sited Tekken as one of the game's biggest influences, so this probably isn't a coincidence). The best part is that Teräs Käsi actually got mentioned in The Mandalorian, meaning that it's officially canon and not just Expanded Universe material.

[@irsyadiaryadiva9430]

Urban Reign is such an underrated gem

[@LonelyFlapp]

If they could rerelease it for current gen with online capabilities, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@allanyang21]

Love that game, sad there was no sequel to it

[@grinbrothers]

2:02 - I'm not sure what I'm more shocked by; Tekken-Chan's characterisation or Kuma's voice. The design is spot-on in referencing the series though. As always, pleased to see Dead or Alive and Pokkén Tournament get mentions in your videos. The Soulcalibur V was an unsurprising inclusion into this reference video but it was nice to see the Soul of Devil Jin in action again.

[@buffgigas]

Kuma in that game is voiced by Harada actually

[@philithegamer8265]

Ken Mishima aka GODHAND is literally a whole homage to Tekken 3. Aside from the moves and the obvious Mishima surname, he literally has Bryan's pants, Kazuya's gloves (but in black) and his alias is an indirect reference to both the FF weapon and King of Ironfist.

[@kayo2771]

Godhand is a reference to Jin Kazama’s full name, which is actually 風魔神. This 風魔means Wind Demon, and 神 means God, thereby his whole name being Wind Genie. Makes sense why he’d be called Godhand before Tekken 3. Also Bryan Fury is taken from Kazuya’s Devil Gene. In short, Brian Fury, or Fury Brain. Makes sense again why Bryan is a psycho cyborg, he has no “I” in his identity. Also Avenging Fist already described Hwoarang and Jin in detail, you can check them, plus Asuka and Xiao Yu out in there. I solemnly swear, that Jun in there, got killed later in the movie, by an evil Dictator from Street Fighter. As for the other fighters. The guest for Avenging Fist, was Bryan Fury. You can see Bryan vs Hwoarang in Avenging Fist, straight before Jin vs Hwoarang, only thing is he has Eagle’s personality, because he’s human. In the Laboratory scene, like in Tekken 4 Fear stage, True Ogre needs to be killed by Hwoarang himself. Confirmed the two love couples, Jin’s and Xiao Yu’s personalities got swapped with Hwoarang’s and Asuka’s personalities respectively in the movie. That’s why Jin doesn’t have Jun’s hair bangs, because she is still alive for the first half of the movie. Also I knew that later on, Asuka and Hwoarang would become a spunky love couple later on, Avenging Fist also showed that. Tekken 8, and THAT, will happen, alongside Kazuya figuring out Asuka’s existence in the Kazama family. And it was because of Avenging Fist, that Tekken 7 did announce Street Fighter and Fatal Fury, to be its elder brothers, that’s because Cheng Shing Zhang and SF Dictator were there as well. And funnily enough, even Reptile from Mortal Kombat is there, only his personality and flesh identity is Smoke’s. Making Mortal Kombat, Tekken’s adopted brother, alongside Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men and Darkstalkers. It’s also revealed that Omega Rugal had powers of both Cyclops’ and Devil Jin’s laser beams. Making KOF as its divine brother. This is also the reason Tekken was invited to Smash Bros, because it’s a Namco replica of Sega’s Virtua Fighter. Asuka and Lili are clones of Sakura and Karin, so yeah. And Kazuya is straight up Ryu, thus Demitri being a Kazuya replica. Bishamon is a Yoshimitsu replica as well. Samurai Shodown’s Oboro, is the ancestor of the said Bishamon. Since Gouki had already made enemies like Kazuya, Heihachi, Rugal, Geese, Ryu, Adon, Guy, Dictator, Gen, Wolverine, Shang Tsung, Chameleon, Khameleon, Shao Kahn, Gouken, Toujin and Blackheart, makes sense why he connected Mortal Kombat and Tekken with Marvel, Capcom and SNK. Gallon is Saberwulf of Darkstalkers, and since Fulgore is the Sektor of Killer Instinct, makes sense why Sub Zero and Jago are the same person in different worlds. There’s also a time, he did merge EX Layer as well, he had enemies like Garuda and Kairi as well. But Garuda did overpower Gouki, so that only makes Kairi. To summarize, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Tekken, Samurai Shodown, Marvel Super Heroes, King Of Fighters, Darkstalkers, Street Fighter and EX Layer are in one multiverse. Meaning 10 universes grouped into 1. Too paranormal, knowing Garuda, Yuga and Maou Kazuya won’t get along too well like this. Bringing Virtua Fighter in the fray will only complicate things, as it was made by SEGA, so yeah that’s a problem in itself.

Erhgeiz was a fantastic game and nothing can change my mind. Perhaps a bit before it's time though, a more refined RPG mode would have been great. Combine an adventure with a fighting game. Ehrgeiz's fighting system was also pretty good though it could be pretty broken. It had some flaws, but overall it's a brilliant game.
