Something that many people doesn't know is that after the failure of Tekken 4, Harada left Namco....

Until one of Harada's ex bosses convinced him to return to create Tekken 5 Harada put all his efforts to make the ultimate Tekken game. Edit: If you want more info about Tekken 5 development.

This sent me down a rabbit hole- interesting that the credits sequences from those shows younmention mentions a Mark Mueller as Lyrics and Music, but they say nothing of a singer. But I did see plenty of people have videos and interviews where they say he's the singer, so it sounds like he just got screwed out of his credit?

[@keelanperumal1980]

T5 just aged so well. For a game that game out early 2004. There's so much love put in the game, the music is in my opinion is some of the best in the series. Ground Zero funk is super underrated and honestly is the perfect OST for the Mishima/kazama feud. Jinpachi is still the best final boss cause he actually was an interesting character, giving more insight into mishimas past. The main thing that I appericate about this game is the roster. There was a decent amount. They brought back legacy characters (tag tournament is more a fan service scenario) and made them fun to play with.

Intro Music Game 5 masterpiece

[@pleshgore1198]

I also think one of the most endearing quality of this game is the close community and competition built around it. It was huge for its time. The regional rivalries, especially because it was at the height of the arcade era gave rise to notable names such as Knee, Qudans, Mainstreet Ryu and Tissuemon.

[@GamingWithNLGamer]

Probably top 5 PS2 games for me. Felt like a good Smash Bros game. Just so full of fun content and an amazing roster of characters. Loved that they added classic arcade games and a fun single player mode. Then the PSP version came maybe not perfect but was incredible at the time playing on the go. So many hours put in both games. The PS2 era was something special.

I don’t really play fighting games anymore, but Tekken 5 was the only fighting game where my brother and I played through every single character’s story to get their endings. It was the most I had ever played a fighting game. At this point, Tekken is the only fighting game I still occasionally dabble in casually. I’m not sure if I can play it competitively anymore, but it’s always been one of the most fun games to mess around in.

[@Saintlike_0]

One thing that i always like to point out when talking T5 is how it did everything right and managed to be the success it is despite all odds. It came after a failure both commercial and in public perception with T4, and did so in an era where other FGs were IN THE GUTTER after the golden era of the 90's. Neither SF nor KoF were doing well, MK was doing OK in its 3D era and only VF could be considered a success, but in the mid 2000's T5 was a powerhouse

[@orlanzo2621]

VF was actually doing great, VF4 had sold more than any other VF game and was a commercial and critical slam dunk for SEGA. But yea SF, KOF, and MK were struggling at the time for sure.

[@Saintlike_0]

You're right! My memory faltered a bit as i thought VF4 didn't do that well compared specifically to VF5, but both had pretty good launches. It's hard to get absolute sales data on them, but VF4 getting around a million units is much more than i remembered! A shame that it lost to T4 in fighting game of the year though. I really hope whatever sega is doing right now is a success, VF deserves so much more

[@tristanemerick7045]

I remember playing this game alongside Battlefront 2 everyday after school on the ps2. I’ve given up on fighting games at this point in my life but I thoroughly enjoy watching Max breaking things down for every fighting game he plays.

Me and my older sister spent so much time playing it. My sis basically did a boss rage againat Jinpachi with Asuka for HOURS trying to beat him on i think Normal Mode?

[@SmallRuubzZz]

Tekken 5 is just one big fond memory to me. Grew up on Tekken 2 & 3 but not the biggest gamer at the time, and, TTT1 and Tekken 4's marketing was so much smaller, I thought the franchise had died but I remember one day walking into one of my local game stores and saw a big cardboard cutout of Jin with Tekken 5 plastered on it, you can't imagine how excited I was. I can't even imagine the amount of hours I put into 5. Everything about the story, music, customization and offline mode was just iconic.

[@FieryAnubis]

I didn't start with T5, but it's THE most nostalgic game for me right next to Tag. I don't even know why, I'm just super fond of it. I remember the opening, the character interactions which were sometimes weird, the music, and of course, being super hyped once it was upgraded to Dark Resurrection because it brought back Armor King and hot damn I loved it. It was basically all I played on my PSP. Literally the only fighting game on a portable console that I could actually play just for fun. Man, this game is a gem. It had the right amount of goofy and serious, and when I think of Tekken and its tone as a series, this is it. T5 just perfected it. Also, yes. Yes it did have Bowling. On the PSP. I played a ton of that too lmao. Also introduced Ghost Battle and sending and downloading ghosts before T8.

[@Beforezzz]

Max sums it up perfectly. Tekken 4 felt so alien to me back then. I loved Tekken 3's direction so much and thought THAT was what Tekken is supposed to be. Didn't get that feeling again until I got my hands on Tekken 5.

The music and stages also hit a high point not heard and seen since. Wish they had gotten the same music producers for 8. It's an epic soundtrack.

This was my second Tekken game and I have so many good memories attached to it. Pretty sure I was only 12 when I played this game, but it solidified my love for the series. Fantastic game.

While I played it on the ps2, it was the psp version where I played it religously. Some co-workers and me used to play it everyday after work. Awesome times

I still go out of my way, this many years later, and will just listen to Sparking on repeat like 10 times in a row.

I love tekken 4 the most. The dark vibe fit tekken really well, IMO. Music was fire too

[@darringregory3450]

This is the one we’ve waited for. I’ve been playing this the past couple weeks and this was by far the most complete entry In the series. I remember being a child, now I’m a man with a wife and a son who’s a sophomore and another who’s 9. No matter what….this is the entry that always acts as a portal to relive those days where you were a carefree child with not a care in the world for that small moment. Thank you Tekken 5. 🙏🏽

[@hoseinaskari9216]

this opening movie was so epic, the soundtracks, the stages, all of the characters even the boss makes this game to be the best and flawless

[@YControI]

Love and passion from the team went into this! ❤

Devil within is basically pre-alpha Urban Reign

BRO, every time i hear karma electric fountain its impossible to not get excited. that outro makes me want to see tekken 6 legacy right now.

[@FortunePayback]

Man...that intro gets me every fucking time. Tears and chills without fail any time I ever see it. This game for me, probably like a lot of people, is where your Tekken journey began. I played Tekken 3 in arcade for a little bit when I was some 6 years old and had it on Playstation, but fighting games weren't my thing back then. Tekken 5 though, I was much older, had siblings and friends, and everyone was playing it! I do not care how good Tekken gets in the future, this game is the definitive version of Tekken, and I still love playing it!... Also, hands down, has one of the best soundtracks of all time.

DR on the PSP was the first Tekken game i properly got in to, id played others in arcades and at friends houses but DR is when i fell in love with the series

[@solitudegaming]

This is the first tekken game I sat down and tried to learn the game. Tekken 5 has a special place in my heart. Love this game

[@bluevelocity9166]

God bless you for putting the names of the songs. Need to get a chance to listen to them properly.

When max liquified he went back into the capri Sun pouch.

5 was the arcade deluxe cab that sells the data cards and the Playstation controller ports in the back at each side!

[@TOASTDD]

I was obsessed with tekken 4 for years still kinda am so the way its regarded to amongst the greater community is always so jarring

[@heykak]

i remember playing tekken 5 at my friends house, going up ranks with feng. Just doing the backwards punch (the shoulderbash). unstoppable
