Not only was this the first Tekken game I played, this was the first game I played EVER. And I still own that copy of the game and I still play it to this day.

OK game, but it's missing kazuya

No shit, because he was "dead" at the time

[@oily4545]

Crazy how fluid Tekken 3 feels to play even by today’s standards, a big step up from the previous game.

[@am_pm.17]

It really is something, the physics and speed makes the gameplay so fluid even now. I still prefer Tekken 2 as my fave because of its presentation (music, aesthetics, storyline) but when it comes to gameplay and fun, it's hard for anything to beat Tekken 3.

[@frenchy283]

2:42 blew my mind as a kid. Music was just way to hype. Still get chills to this day watching that. The intro to Tekken 3 was amazing as well. I’m glad to be one of the 8.3million that got to play this during its time. Also big shout out to Tekken 5 for having all previous Tekkens to play as well.

Tekken 2 has some fire tracks as well

[@MaskedGuyCh]

Tekken 3 was a phenomenon. Still remember playing it for the first time and being amazed by the graphics, animations, and soundtracks. It was truly an ambitious game, and one that deserved all the praise and success it got.

[@TheUncutAngel]

I discovered Tekken 3 in a demo disc and I knew after playing as ling and Eddy that I had to try the rest of the roster. I settled on law when I got it, because of how satisfying the backflip was. It was seriously a game like no other.

[@Gamesta100]

The demo was on the disc that came with my PS1 and playing as Eddy and flipping all over the place amazed me. So then I showed the demo to my friend and he was amazed and we played it a bunch. When I bought the full game I chose King as my favourite character because he wears a cat mask. It also helped that I was new to wrestling I think the same year as Tekken so him being a wrestler made it even better.

[@SAR-re1fx]

Are we that old? It was my first Tekken ever, you could find Tekken arcade machines all over Spain, then my cousin got it on PS1 and introduced me to it. What a blessing

[@pavise6333]

[@figo7ronaldo]

I'll never forget Christmas 1998 at my cousin's house. He had a copy of Tekken 3 and I remember myself and 6 of my cousin's just going nuts playing this. I became a massive Tekken fan that day and still am.

[@bluegrave4376]

Tekken 3 was the very first game I ever played as a 4 year old and one of my earliest memories. I would literally be a different person had I never experienced it

[@Droopy_Snake]

Soundtrack of Tekken 3 is a real masterpiece and still to this days it just amazing and very memorable. I can remember maybe 3-4 music tracks from all Tekken games, but all track I clearly remember in Tekken 3.

[@amarolidris4324]

Whenever I see Tekken 3 character select the theme will instantly play in my mind like that's how iconic this game is.

[@smartinez281]

Tekken 3 still goes so hard. My brothers and I would be so hype when we would rent it at Blockbuster.

[@tibo997]

This game was revolutionary, cool new characters, amazing cutscene, super fun, huge content, crazy songs, the GOAT.

[@slightlyloyal1442]

My first Tekken game even though i was born quite lately. 97" i grew up into a family who loved gaming. I was legitimately blessed. This era was beautiful, it had everything. Arcade centers and cabinets. Transition from 2D games to 3D. Sega still being relevant in the hardware market. Before i played Tekken 3 and Ridge Racer type 4 on the PS1, i used to play Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the Sega Saturn.

[@abyzzwarrior3305]

This was the first Tekken game I learnt to use the phoenix smasher on. Not my first one I played but it really sticks out among the best of the tekkens.

[@bendakstarkiller1270]

As a 90s kid, I adored Tekken 3 and it is the reason I respect the franchise so much. Thank you for the fantastic video!

[@godzilladude]

Glad to see more of these retrospectives on your channel, keep up the good work man!

[@MitsuSC]

Everything about T3 was absolutely fantastic. Coming from the SNES to this on the PS1 was a major forward jump in time for me. It changed my life.

[@KraYarK]

Still play it to this day every now and then. Masterpiece, as a kid I was amazed by the quality jump from 1 and 2 to Tekken 3.

[@Disconnect350]

Tekken 3 was the most popular game in where I'm from. We used to have Internet Cafe like businesses with PS1's back in the day and people played Tekken 3 all the time. Pretty much everywhere they played this either at sea side, countryside, etc. Used to play it all the time with friends and relatives. Those were some amazing times, more than 20 years ago. Wish I still remembered everything.

[@Phillyjoe2]

Tekken 3 was, and still is, just amazing! Still my fave Tekken ever! Great video
