Tekken 2 was way better anyway. I played and owned T2 before Tekken 1, and you could see how much of a step up T2 was. T1 would be unplayable now, the button/input lag was bad, and that was even then

[@SurvivalSpheres]

The games back then had something mysterious around them. Tekken 4 was the last game where I felt like this. Then... it just disappeared.

[@melanitex1089]

+New Resident Evil Save Room Music Could you expand on this theory a little more? I have heard people say Tekken 2 and Tekken 4 was the best in terms of presentation. Seems as if you share the same sentiments with those people.

[@Mocktezuma111]

New Resident Evil Save Room Music agreed. this brings me back to the good old days.

[@hagbard1979]

I agree, I guess because the stages were quite dark and the music perfectly matches the atmosphere. To tell you the truth this is probably related with hardware limitations in order to simulate a 3D background with 2D rotated pictures, but the music is perfect anyway, the most solid in the whole series imho. Tekken 4 used fully 3D stages, just like Tekken 3 did, but this time most of them had walls and this contributed to make an oppressive atmosphere, plus the music was kind of experimental. Later revisions had and more joke characters, stages and music so its style was not so consistent. Tekken 7 seems to recover part of this atmosphere and specially the music style is better matched than T6 or TTT2.

[@thedarkknight646]

I think I know what it is at least pertaining to this game 1. The characters didn't really talk much 2. The backdrops tended to be darker (obviously this stage is prime example of this) 3. The stages have the illusion of being endless instead of being closed off like the later entries 4. The stages are secluded there's really no one around other than the two people fighting. It makes you think how did these two people meet to have a showdown alone in a forest or wherever

Facts! Tekken 2 has the best music of the entire series!

[@am_pm.17]

@@omegamanGXE So true! Tekken 3 is often celebrated as the best fighter of that era and while yes the gameplay was great, I think it doesn't come ANYWHERE close to Tekken 2 when it comes to music and atmosphere. Tekken 2 had a beautifully traditional aura to it that no other Tekken game has had since.

Tekken 2 is still the high point of the series when it comes to music. Such a treasure.

[@sigurdtheblue]

[@therealnc4090]

They would have to pay royalties to the vocalist

[@acrack_ontitan]

me too, it's also not listed in their spotify. But I guess due to owner rights of the producer of the song? or how one comment says they would need to pay the vocalist. A true shame it's one of the best OST.

Tekken music never gets old :)

[@averykevin47]

I don't like the way Namco designs Yoshimitsu nowadays. Seems as though over the years Namco has given him more of a cybernetic look and made him look less human as to how he was designed in the first 3 Tekken games. Tekken 2 was the only game where he actually looked like a human Samurai instead of a cyborg. His Tekken 2 and 3 designs were the best in my opinion.

Let us be free of what tomorrow may bring ... No more concurrency, interference or bloodshet ... If you fight do it with dignity ... The bloodline oath will be unraveled ...

For me Tekken 2 was the best of the original trilogy, and Tekken 5 was the peak of the series because it brought back so many characters from Tekken 2 and seemed like a return to form. Tekken 3 and 4 were still great but a little too detatched from the first two, and Tekken 6 and 7 seemed to put less focus on Jin, because it was mainly Lars in 6 and Kazuya in 7. I hope Tekken 8 is another return to form like Tekken 5 was.
