This Is What Makes Tekken 5 So Memorable

The roster, music, stages, a certain game mode and a certain boss all come to mind when I think Tekken 5, but most importantly, the cartoon mask.

Still can't believe Namco gave us Tekken 3, as well as the first two, in this game. They were real ones for that.

[@tcbbctagain572]

Don't forget starblade

[@jamesbland5207]

I didn't know you could play 1, 2, and 3 in this game. I've never played the original trilogy, and my local bookstore has Tekken 5 on PS2.

[@PingerSurprise]

The arcade versions though, so prepare to scream lol

[@StEvUgnIn]

What?

[@StEvUgnIn]

Is that really in it?

[@dicekey9851]

All my years playing Tekken 5 and I'm still seeing Jinpachi moves for the first time Still can't beat his 10 firballs in a row barrage

[@NoName-cz3wn]

Yoshimitsu got around the fireballs easy. I'm not positive but I THINK Lei and Christie could prob lay down then try to punish. But yeah it was rough

[@Brandiichan]

I swear his fire balls are random. Sometimes they're short range sometimes they're long range. I don't know what's going on.

[@asagoodfriend]

@@NoName-cz3wn word, I beat the hell out of it with Yoshi and Christie but it wasn't on ultra hard mode!😅

[@undeadinside3571]

You could always side step. Jinpachi was annoying with his auto kill combo and the fact he could spit fireballs even while on the ground, but his A.I. wasnt the worst. I think Azazel was harder for me. I dont even wanna remember Akuma in tekken 7.... auto dodge, fireball spam, chip damage, CONSTANT HEALTH REGEN

[@123beyaahqb]

Tekken 5 was the peak of the franchise in my opinion, just pure classic. Edit: lots of people say tekken 3 is peak, and I see why they say that, but the good thing about tekken 5 is you can play the arcades of tekken 1, 2, and of course tekken 3😎 Edit 2: the game is turning 20 this year!!! Feel old yet?!?

[@velocilevon]

With the exception of a cheap ass final boss, like, come on, is this King of Fighters with SNK syndrome bosses or something lol? Other than that, yeah, for whatever reason 5 is my favorite, but I honestly think that's only because it's the only one I've played on PS2 in my younger years, so I'm probably getting massive nostalgia bias.

[@noless]

@@velocilevon Every time I've spoken to someone who's been playing Tekken for a very long time they will usually say that 5 is their favorite in the series.

The arcs in this anime go crazy

[@lamarco18]

Until tekken 7, jinpachi was the bane of my existence as far as bosses go. Over the top cheap with moves that don't belong in tekken, and he doesn't feel good to win against, cuz you end up just cheesing him out. The AI frame perfect input read was crazy too

[@Btobebone]

feng was one of my mains in 5, if you knock jinpachi down with him, you can just keep stomping, he will keep trying to back roll and you'll keep stomping him flat.

[@lamarco18]

@Btobebone exactly. Cheesing the boss really isn't playing the game. Just playing to win

[@GUNNZTAMA1]

Kazuya really the mvp of the vid cause he keep the 9 on him

[@toadftw23]

I remember playing through this game trying to see all the endings for all the characters, and man sometimes it felt like beating Jinpachi was just hopeless. Started having headcanon stories about the number of battles the character is having with Jinpachi.

[@liamroberts1458]

Jin was the one who ended up defeating him, but he probably had a bit of a long tussle with him, but, speaking of headcanons, I think that it was actually his Devil Form that dealt the killing blow, as it were.

[@The_SnuggleDuck]

I was almost there but for me 1 character was too complicated to use. That person is of course Lei

[@notacasual5593]

​@@The_SnuggleDucktfw i beat Jinpachi with Lei but got stuck for 1 HOUR trying with Bryan and then just gave up.

[@The_SnuggleDuck]

@@notacasual5593 I'm just not great with Lei tbh. He's always been my problem character

[@ffann100]

Tekken 5 is the most wholesome vibe. Amazing music, amazing stages, amazing cutscenes, the dialogues between the characters, playable boss character, amazing graphics and most important it was the last realistic tekken without insane juggles, rage drives etc. Not necessarily a bad thing, but these made fights feel less believable whereas Tekken 5 is the best at balance between realism and entertaining gameplay. It brought the best from Tekken 3 and Tekken 4 combined minus the disadvantages of each. Though it may just be me and my nostalgia, you can't deny that this chapter is when Tekken was at its peak.

You got me into Tekken. Only been playing a week and I mean, I got a couple moves with Julia :)

[@ScarletStarManor]

Bro, Jinpachi's AI was going easy on you for ultra hard. Because for me, that shit was far worse back then. He used to chain stun me three times in a row before fireball.

[@joshualowe959]

11:19 Jinpachi fired two fireballs!

[@craigsands2567]

Heihachi had Jinpachi locked in the basement of their family house and than a demon possessed Jinpachi and he escaped so he could announce Tekken 5. In Law's story Law asks if he gets the prize money from winning and was told yes cause Jinpachi was the final fight of the whole tournament

[@Smashvillain]

Much love for the V4 IWGP Heavyweight belt. Also I've always been amused by the T5 AI always eating unblockables. I held a time attack record with Asuka at a Tennessee arcade for a long time just spamming her spinning heel drop.

[@Ronldbx6]

11:29 I didn't even know he had an air throw 😲!

[@hanswurst4815]

This is what it looks like when a tekken 7 pro plays an earlier installment of the series, where keep-my-opponent-in-the-air-until-he-dies isn't really a thing. But the way you dodged his attack at 11:18 is just insane.

[@liamroberts1458]

Tekken 5 and Dark Resurrection had some top quality customisation items and costume alterations. For example, does anyone here remember Jin's electric blue, Super Saiyan-like hair?

[@AffectTK]

What a funny and greatly edited video! Makes Tekken worth watching ! GGs 👑

[@Pwnr145]

I still remember me and my cousins all screaming when one of us finally beat Jinpachi after several years of accepting him as an impossible feat.

[@odinmcleod6890]

Some notes: That one girl fights with Majima's Breaker style. Kaizen is a big wrestling nerd. "He just like me fr fr." Did you see Jay White v Okada at Wrestle Kingdom? I get that Ultra Hard AI can't be getting caught be every grab... But if you pick King they should tone that down slightly, it's what makes King cool. Holy shit you actually beat that crazy ass monster! Nice.

I thought Okada v White's match was good, but Ospreay v Omega went CRAZY imo

[@adrenaliner91]

Sadly the Dev himself sh*ts on that idea. He twittered about that topic "Do you really need that?" we will never get anything... and even if we get that, it would be crap like Tekken Hybrid where in TTT you can't unlock anything anymore.

I believe Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection has the same customization while the customization is cheaper and the money is easier to get. I hope this helps :)

I might be wrong but the DR version of 5 also nerfed Jinpachi to where he's a lot more manageable.
