I was honestly confused when T7 brought that up as a plot point. All I remember from T6 is playing Lars in the Story mode and being pissed off that it just ended with Jin taking care of everything anyway.

[@tartarus5862]

Always found it kind of interesting that the Tekken 6 trailers with Jin in the motorcycle and fighting Kazuya that doesn’t really happen in the main story is pretty much now the plot for Tekken 8, Tekken 8 even starts with Jin in the motorcycle and fighting Kazuya.

[@Anw4rr10r]

They should have included the exact same T6 BR intro as the opening for T8 but make it playable when the opening ends where Jin meets Kaz at the top of the G Corp helipad. I can't believe we've waited 15 whole years to see this fight finally take place. I just hope it was worth the wait.

[@Narokkurai]

Comparing Tekken 7 to Tekken 6 really highlights how important patches are to the health of a fighting game. The two games share basically the same bones, but for one of them, the devs were able to make balance adjustments based on real-time data and player sentiment, and it made a huge difference in how good the game feels to play. I genuinely think Bandai Namco has the best balancing division in the industry.

[@andrewnueslayer3848]

Tekken without patches = unbalanced piece of shit Tekken with patches = unbalanced piece os shit The only difference is OP characters cycling in T7, that's all.

@@andrewnueslayer3848 No. Tekken 7's OP characters were never as bad as the series' worst, and the power level of the whole cast was fairly comparable.

[@meinishikawa3730]

Going from T4 & T5 into Tekken 6 Jin still gives me tonel whiplash. Jin clearly was "the good Mishima" at that point so they should have given a better reason for him to be the villain of T6 (fuck filler Azazel, he's just Zafina's claw hand now). He was already struggling with his inner devil in T5, Jin should have had a situation like Eddie Brock & Venom where he would be influenced by the devil gene to cause world war 3, Azazel would just be an excuse to fight and justify the chaos. Just an idea.

[@justareplica]

I agree, Jin was pretty cold towards Alisa’s death when she was in Lars’s arms. Maybe it was the devil gene talking.

[@KiTTtheKiDD]

_"Fuck filler Azazel, he's just Zafina's claw hand now"_ - idk why but this made me laugh

[@leithaziz2716]

That interpretation of Venom is the least compelling one though, which is a problem I had with Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac. Venom has basically no character, and besides his voice and appearance is one of the most shallow depictions of Venom yet.

The end does not justify the means. Similar to the case of Itachi Uchiha (Naruto) and Ash Crimson (KOF) Characters who wanted to solve everything by their own hands without asking for help and in the end instead of solving the problem they only made things worse. People call them heroes when their actions say otherwise.

[@leithaziz2716]

If you wanted to use the excuse that Jin was corrupted, then that would just be a shallow trait for a character's motivation. This was just...very unnecessary for someone like Jin after his Tekken 4 ending.

[@osricen]

I was obsessed with Tekken 6 back in the day. I remember those long rainy days with the game... so much fun!! I actually liked the Story Campaign, but yeah, not making Arena mode unlocked from the beginning was a mistake. About Arcade, I don't remember how it was, but it should've been an infinite tower, like Treasure Mode. The customization was CRAZY. And my favorite, Asuka, actually got powered up and was so, so much better to play compared to Tekken 5. About online, man, I live in South America and had a shitty ADSL connection back in those days and I still was able to play and chat... never really had a problem. Maybe I just got lucky. Anyway, one of my favorites. I can't measure how much time I spent in this game trying to unlock absolutely everything!! P.S. Let's hope Tekken 8 is as good as it or better! Especially for single players.

I loved Tekken 6, i still love it after playing TK7, having Jin Kazama as a mid boss was so badass, with his own entrance image and cutscene and stage oof, and having Nancy as his protector (which is a good thing that she is a bonus round) The tekken 6 psp version is free to play on ps4/psp, it doesnt have the campaign but it do has the story mode of every character and the classic arcade mode It was thanks to this game i could main Jin since if u advance through the ranks, the mid-boss just kick your shit up, and u could leaen some combos from him

[@desenhandomanga7359]

[@graefx]

As much as T3 makes up my mental image of Tekken, I've found drawings I did on school notebook paper that I assumed where DBZ until I noticed the fist studs, Bloodline Rebellion and the late 00s fighting game revival was really where my awareness of Tekken starts. I remember articles with Harada talking about how they put an effort into making sure the game didn't just look good in motion, but that screen shots and stills looked good. It was a hell of a learning curve coming from SC2/3, GGXX, and 3S. Story mode ended up being the big hook initially.

[@googyta]

I think it's pretty reasonable narratively for Jin to have a great downfall to rock bottom so he can build his way back up after. My main problem is he threw away everything for a weird crystal dragon that had no build-up, wasn't doing anything and achieved little. I don't it's unsalvageable though. It can work if the consequences of Jins world war actively follow him around and aren't immediately forgiven. That's why I think Miguel has a more plot potential than first appears, his feelings of revenge are absolutely understandable. Zafina is also the most interesting thing they've done with Azazel.

[@Grizzexploder]

Miguel as of post-Tekken 7 decided to wait till Jin is at his most hopeful and driven before he decides to take his revenge on him (after easily defeating him)

[@Caliif]

​@@Grizzexploderis that actually canon or just a what if ending?

[@goranisacson2502]

Agreed- Bringing Jin to a low so he can build himself back up is cool on paper, but MAN Azazel is just such a massive fat load of NOTHING. He just doesn't feel like a cool villain or as someone that merits Jin's drastic actions.

[@streetough]

Agreed. I like the concept of Jin's motivation for starting WWIII but it comes completely out of left field, making Azazael feel very underwhelming. No build up, and upon death just sputters out.

[@Owliare]

That being said, I feel that when T9 eventually comes around, the theme will be about moving on and forgiveness. I don't think Jin wanted to perpetuate the cycle of violence the Mishima's are notorious for. How will they handle Kazuya? Can't really say, I personally see Kaz as an irredeemable villain, so either death or imprisonment are his only options, story wise. Jin may try to reason with Reina next they meet, telling her that revenge isn't the way to solve her feud with Kazuya, while dealing with Miguel, who is out to get his own revenge on Jin. Jin now has a reason to fight outside of filicide and doesn't want to let that go, so now he has to defend himself from Miguel. Just something I thought of, I could be wrong later down the line. One way to find out.

[@VixYW]

Fun fact: in the PSP version of Tekken 6, the arcade mode works normally and you get the characters endings without needing to go trough all that fluff. There's no scenario campaign there tho.

[@galaxy_kitten95]

And the PSP version is the one I grew up with back in middle school.

I remember holding Tekken 6 tournaments in our classroom. Me and my friend would be bringing our PSPs and would invite anyone who wants to join. God, what a time😊😊😊

[@chaoscontroller316]

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise that I chose Devil Jin as my first character to play Scenario Campaign with. Law doesn't unlocked until almost right before Heihachi and Devil Jin is locked behind a secret post game level that's basically if Streets of Rage had a Kaizo mode. Unlocking DVJ organically the way the devs intended should be the big new KZbin challenge for lets players.

[@sparklecandie4026]

Tekken 6 will always have a special place in my heart cuz it's my first Tekken game. Here in the Philippines, fighting games are not popular, but Tekken is, especially Tekken 6. Guaranteed in any arcade you would step in, there would be a Tekken 6 machine. So many memories with this one, I love Tekken 6

[@eyeguydojima7131]

Jin before Tekken 6: "I hate the Mishima blood in my veins, I curse the Devil Gene's existence, and will dedicate everything to stopping both." Jin during Tekken 6: "Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai..." Jin after Tekken 6: " Ah, Eto...Bleh..."

[@Whineanddine52]

I like that the whole point of the war was to bring Azazel pit and get rid of the devil gene by destroying him. It doesn't excuse any of Jin's actions, and i think it helps showcase some of his own personal selfishness

[@TehParismio]

It definitely showcases that but the problem now is how Jin is being instantly forgiven and he's not facing any consequences for his actions.

[@Pewpewpew182]

I was in Japan for a month back during the Summer of 2008 and entered a Tekken 6 tournament at the Namco Tower in Kyoto. I remember having to fight Bob for the first time and getting obliterated by him. I judged a book by its cover and my Nina and Kaz paid the price. When I got back it was great to see that Super Arcade had the game back home in so cal. I loved the noir cab when I first saw it and now I have 6, 7 and Tag 2 in their own noirs (thanks college for getting me a career). Game Saru on KZbin sells the cabs and boards ❤ This game holds a special place in my heart.

PSA: this one introduced the usable customization items ie: the swords, guns, etc.

[@pikminguy55]

What urks me is that Jin so far doesn't seem to have any acknowledgement about how his goal to eliminate Azazel to erase the Devil Gene had failed. Yes he did kill the demon but he STILL has his devil gene so all the chaos he made, all the lives his ruined and his descent to villainy was for nothing...and this is NEVER discussed or brought up. Not to mention the inconsistency in his character regarding his morale and what he truely thinks on what he done. In the Tekken 8 story intro first look we got; Kazuya rightfully tells him he started the war and Jin is all like "All to awaken a great threat for me to kill!" To try and justify what he did as if he learned NOTHING but when he looks at the fleeing people around him he laments about not being able to save everyone...says the man who started the war which costed lives so he has no right to say such things... Like you don't start a war, regardless of your intentoins, ESPECAILLY if you are going to pretend to be a villain...only to try and be like "I can't save anyone!" pretty much gives you no room to talk. Seriously I won't be suprised if the game ends where after Jin (supposedly) kills Kazuya; the world will just instantly forgive him and Jin would be like "I can live in peace now...". I know it's typical Japaneses storytelling and all, redemption and forgivness and all that but Jin started WWIII, ruined lives (and even had some killed indirectly like Miguel's sister for example) and killing Kazuya won't undo any of that.

[@shocksconstant]

"but when he looks at the fleeing people around him he laments about not being able to save everyone...says the man who started the war which costed lives so he has no right to say such things..." God I was literally screaming this when that scene pop up like are actually fucking kidding me right now!? Bro, you know how many lives men, women, children etc. you destroyed for you to say something like that? Miguel lost his sister to for this and as much as people didn't like the narrator dude from the Tekken 7 story he really was the "average Joe" who had to deal with aftermath of losing his whole family to this psycho literal millions are just like him.

[@dingo535]

This has to be tied with Tekken 3 for my favorite in the series. I played a ton of 3 in middle school, but it was in my early 20s with Tekken 6, not SF4, that I learned how awesome it could be to truly play a fighting game on a competitive level. This culminated with MLG DC in 2010 when I housed Knee and Nin for a couple of days following the tournament. I took them over to my buddies house and some other players showed up for games with Nin (Knee crashed out on his couch and didn’t budge for the entirety of the session), following morning I took them to the airport. They gave me the Harada signed HRAP3 they won for the hospitality, it was super rad.

[@Scythr2s]

I play tekken 6 and this game where Jin is the anti-villian of the game is much of a balance of good and evil in him. He knows what he done was unforgivable but doing to get azazel to arrive to take the devil gene down was a slight impossibility since the birth of the gene is in him.

[@alastormedial]

There's no anti about it lol. He causes unspeakable atrocities to wake Azazel to destroy it... but it wouldn't have woken up if Jin hadn't done every war crime. Fuck Jin. Blame it on corruption from Devil Jin, it's the only way to rehab the boy.

[@FortunePayback]

Back in the day, I CANNOT believe I can say that for this game, but Tekken 6 was one of the first games we got when we got our Xbox 360 in 2010. I still remember my first experience and thinking "Wow, this game looks so good!" It was unbelievable to me at the time. Now, I was still young enough to where I didn't really care about really learning how to play the game, me, siblings, and friends were all still button mashing. I how to owe a TON to this game though, because I learned how to play fighting games. I didn't start really learning and eventually competing until MKX, but after that, I went back to learn Tekken 6, and from then on, Tekken has been my main fighting game. Just like Tekken 5, I owe so much of my fighting game life to this game, and that intro movie gives me goosebumps every fucking time. The game may not have been great, looking back, but it was for sure an experience that I will always cherish.

[@The_Isaiahnator]

15:32 You nailed it. T6 was technically a full package, but the charm was absent (I can't really explain it).

Fun fact! There was ONE costume dlc for this game. It isn't available anymore because it was a yoshimitsu costume referencing the tube samurai bit from the penny arcade webcomic with a pac-man image on his back, so the license must have expired at some point. I think you got it by either pre-ordering the game or paying like 2 bucks if you didn't.

[@AltimeterAlligator]

Back in the day, I tried _so hard_ to enjoy campaign scenario, to the point that I spent days grinding that Nightmare Train level on Hardest. The duplicate drop rate and 90 second load times were _really_ spicy. I'd like to see a more polished Tekken Force mode in T8, even as a DLC add-on.

T6's Bruce Irving was such a good character, and the best version of that character. I've been really annoyed that he hasn't come back since. No T7 version, and it doesn't seem he'll be back for 8, and I'm kinda salty about it. My main vanished from the roster, and his 'replacements' are just not good (for me): Josie and Bryan Fury, maybe Fuhkumram all pale in comparison to Bruce, at least for my style of play (mid-range with a long reach and decent speed)

[@saadhasan2518]

Bruce's wall carry and damage in rage was just off the charts, one of the most fun characters in this game.

[@ExaltedAurora]

This is the Tekken that really got me into the franchise. Like yeah, Of course I played Tekken 3 as a kid, just like everybody else.

Customization was literally the best. Literally top, you could change almost anything and each character had their own stuff that was made just for them.

Wow... the thumbnail is GLORIOUS!!

Tekken 6 was huge for the local arcade where i lived, it was the first fighting game cabinet that we had where both players were looking at the same screen, great fun before the arcade died

[@11ICE]

Tekken 6 is one of my favorite games of all time. Along with the graphics the bound and the faster movement the game felt next gen at the time despite its flaws. I know Scenario Campaign wasn't liked by everyone, but I enjoyed it. I had the PS3 and PSP versions.

[@azuresaiyan9005]

Tekken 6 is imo the most underrated game in the series. Yeah it has some problems like the story, and balance like Bobfest, but this game did a lot of good too, like the most comprehensive and detailed customization mode, beautiful stages, Coop scenario campaign, and while the bound system was pretty broken it really opened up a ton of characters combo potential. One of my hopes is that this game gets some type of rerelease with net play included, I think a lot of people will reevaluate this game more positively.

[@Narokkurai]

Also, really funny thing but I got to point out: Bob in T7 has almost the exact same kit as he did in T6. Like, everything except d1 being -10 on block now, T7 Bob is T6 Bob at his prime, and thanks to the overall power boost the rest of the cast got, Bob is only like, Top 15 or Top 20.

[@melvinshine9841]

I bought Tekken 6 back in the day and played the hell out of it. By myself, because I have no friends, but that's beside the point. I think it's worth noting that T6 was the first time Tekken was available for Xbox when it was previously Playstation only. Tekken 6 is also the game I immediately think of when I hear people complain about the lack of a Tekken Force mode in T7. Tekken 6 had, basically, a bigger, better Tekken Force mode in the form of Scenario mode, and none ya'll played it. One of the things I find weird about Tekken 6 is the majority of the characters returning from Tekken 5 didn't get outfit redesigns.

The best way to play scenario arcade campaign, is to not play Lars, instead at the beginning, you have the option to select a character that you can use through the whole campaign. Use your favorite, use a Mishima, use king and armor king, literally anyone more interesting than Lars because in each level and boss fight, your selected character has their own dialogue throughout the campaign. King can’t talk, but you can read his dialogue with Alisa about the war. You can have devil jin fight Kazuya and have cool as hell interactions before a big boss fight. Shit is so cool. And funny enough, dragonouv still won’t say anything throughout the whole thing

[@DistortedDevice]

Few things Max missed out on because Scenario Campaign gated a lot of it. -In scenario campaign, your healthbar, attack power, and other things were affected by the clothes you wore that would drop in mission in scenario campaign. -Alisa has an outrageous AI during her fight against her. (Look up Tekken 6 vs Alisa Scenario Campaign) Her chainsaws have a high chance to freeze the player going against her. -This game is the origin of the Jin doing his infinite Electrics and the AI can just loop you in it if he wants to in scenario campaign. -With each copy of Tekken, there was a Church's Chicken coupon in it with each physical copy of the game. -Scenario campaign also had Co-op! Sadly, it came later in the game's cycle, and it acted as an alternative if you wanted to get cash for customization easily and items for your base game. It was only 10 stages, but they were pretty long. Also Co Op's progress did not tie to the main scenario campaign progress either -Alisa's Double Rocket Punch (B,B, 1+2) could carry you through majority of scenario campaign without trying. -Jin's stance changes when going against him in scenario campaign and he gains devil jin's laser which has a high freeze chance as a status effect, while mental alertness gives him fire damage. -Among other things, this is the first (and possibly only game I think) Where Dragonov is confirmed he can speak if you play as him in the scenario campaign. It's only through text, but he's a selective mute. -Nancy, the Bonus boss, is the first character to have the Wallbounce Mechanic that we see now in Tekken 7. Think that's it. other than Azazel being laughably easy compared to Jinpachi. Only gimmick he has is the fact that he has no block animation, and he has True Ogre's Get Up comeback tool that punishes aggressive players.

[@markk7082]

Jin better make the most perfect KZbin apology for his atrocities, or I’m cancelling him

[@ShaunInce123]

He made a severe lapse in judgment

He's preparing the Miles Morales apology pose meme.

[@TheMaleekscott]

The best tekken soundtrack of all the games is tekken 6 so many core memories from elementary school playing this game😢

[@benetnasch1774]

I think the biggest problem with tekken 6 was not that jin was made to be a bad guy, but the fact the story was so forced and so badly executed, so it's hard to hate jin because the reason for him starting the war was so dumb, and it's hard to like him because of it too, so it'svery hard to understand how you shoukd feel about his character, he is a war criminal, but the reason was so forced, it'shard to accept, no wonder t7 and t8 kinda try to minimize t6 impact on the story. If I were to fix the execution of the story without changing the story much, I would've made it so that azazel was bound to awaken in t6 story, not that he would've awakened only when suffering increases, but like azazel is bound to awaken then and there no matter what happens, and then I would have jin start world war 3 so that he would get stronger thanks to the suffering of the world because of his devil gene (the devil gene so far has been explained so little that it would make sense if it gets stronger the more jin sins), this would've made much more sense and the war would've actually been inevitable, cause then it would've been either the whole world gets destroyed by azazel, or jin starts world war 3 to get strong enough to beat him, it's not that different from the actual t6 story, but it already makes more sense and it'seasier to understand jin's point of view, instead we got, jin starting a war cause maybe in the future azazel will wake up and he would've been to old to beat him.

[@Grizzexploder]

Jin and Zafina note in T6 that due to him & Kazuya ("2 dark stars") clashing in T4, Azazel was already awoken in spirit & would manifest into the world T5 has Azazel (supposed to be Jinpachi pre-retcon) convincing Jin in his head with his words and plaguing him with nightmares till he couldn't take any more to start the war From his POV, it's either Kazuya (prob won't help lol) or him who'd be able to kill Azazel in the present or the future since only 2 of them have the Devil Gene

[@devilman4018]

So my first experience with this game is pretty funny. I played it on psp first, which doesn't have the scenario campaign. It only has arcade and a story mode, which is just a shorter arcade with prologue and cutscenes for each character. So when I went through that, Jin had more cutscenes than the rest and I figured his was the canon ending. You can imagine my surprise when I read about the actual story on wikipedia.

[@Sean-D78]

Funnily enough, the PSP version had the traditional story mode front and centre rather than behind a scenario campaign

[@Smashvillain]

The best thing about Scenario Campaign is that they went out of their way to give every character unique dialogue on every stage. A level of world and character building they've refused to go back to since.

[@NecroKun2403]

I wanna mention to those who don't know that Tekken 6 is in PlayStation Portable. I played a heck to amount in that Console, just to realize I missed out a lot of content that was not present on PSP but present on PS3. Story mode in the PSP however is Character specific. Each character has their own ending and there is no huge campaign. The game pretty much wants you to finish the game with the entire roster to discover what each character's fates are or what happened to them afterwards.

[@NecroKun2403]

I couldn't edit my comment fsr. I meant to say that PSP doesn't have a scenario mode and just opens up all character's story modes.

[@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch]

Got off of the TEkken train after t5 bc i didn't have a ps3, it good to catch up with these retrospectives.

[@Blitz0506]

I look fondly at Tekken 6 as the first game i ever decided to take learning it seriously and play at the local arcades at and its what got me into the FGC. Scenario Campaign was always fun but its such a shame it didnt have local couch coop

[@PikangsFutaba]

Yeah, scenario mode... if you play the PSP release, you can get the scenario mode endings faster, I don't think the main ending of that mode is in the PSP but still, along with 3 is my favorite so far (and Tag 2).

[@VBrancoPT]

Since Jun returns to Tekken 8, do you think she's disapointed in Jin? Because of what he became in this game? He started a war worldwide, terrible consequences happened...

[@Scythr2s]

I think she may understand to what Jin has done.of course there are gonna be consequences for those things in which will lead to the real factor of what consequences kazuya will have if Jin manages to defeat kazuya. I doubt if Jun will purge kazuya because his redemption will be a different story than Jin.

[@BigBadWolframio]

I wish she at the very least tells him she's disappointed. Even if they do it in that "good mothers are always soft and comforting" bullshit (you better not be soft and comforting to your literal genocidal son, but whatever). Something from her to reinforce that he truly lost himself there and that whatever he was trying to accomplish wasn't worth the suffering of others.

Only Play Tekken 3 / Tekken 5 ( DARK Resurrection PsP version)🤓🤯 Tekken 4 has my favorite cutscene intro (Kazuya: I am holding all the cards now) I'll... Get Everything Back...👊

[@thesamuraiman]

I played so much of T6 growing up with a friend. It wasn't my first game, but the first time I had this much access to it. Lee and Dragunov were my mains

[@Penguin_Happy]

0:10 (In the arcade blasting, right next to a DDR machine).

[@zenpenmc]

The PSP port of T6 was my proper introduction to the franchise, it was such a great time. I sank so many hours on it to grind for cosmetics and online ranks

[@saadhasan2518]

One of the most fun fighting games from the X360 era. I enjoyed playing this back in the day and still do regularly and it was amazing. The combos here felt satisfying and rewarding. The customization here is easily the best in the series and Lars as a MC was fine and the scenario campaign was technically fun but frustrating. From a competitive standpoint, the best characters in this game were Jack-6, Bob, Steve, Bryan, Lars, Bruce and Law. Some characters were also really good like Miguel, Lee, Dragunov, A.King, Devil Jin and Nina but the rest were ok or not fun at all. Though the soundtrack is really enjoyable both character select themes, electric fountain, sheep stage, fallen colony, arisa, urban warzone etc.

[@speedfreakfrank]

Man, Tekken 6 was my first fighting game. Then when Soulcalibur 4 came out I picked that up because it was also by Namco and it had Yoshimitsu. I'd definitely play T6 scenario campaign before I ever touch Tekken 7 narrator's journey.

Are we not gonna talk about how not enough people know about "Lightning storm" the theme from that helicopter/rooftop stage at night. Hope they bring it back and revamp it for T8 the stage itself and music are so badass. Thankfully we have a jukebox mode in t8 (not that t8s music is bad or anything)

[@ToastaToast]

I had T6 on PSP and was really bummed that I didn't get the scenario campaign. I didn't own a PS3 at the time so I didnt know that you couldnt just play Arcade to get the story endings. The PSP version just had that.

[@reignfire85]

I think 6 was the one where I had pre-ordered it for X360, bought it, and then had to immediately walk back into the store for an exchange because somehow I was given the PS3 version. Was definitely an embarrassing moment for me. Any advice on a good fight stick? I keep checking out the stuff from Qanba but I'm sure there are other good ones.
