[@AntzTKO13]

This intro made Kazuya my favorite character of all time. Badass.

[@youngab3664]

Same, Kazuya then King and Armor King were my favs. But Kazuya was the most charismatic character from Tekken.

[@adrian77538]

T6 he was like what s next

[@collectorartist1341]

I agree!

[@voltd393]

I guess Kazuya doesn’t like guns very much. He chose to ram his fist through the guy’s face rather than pulling the trigger.

[@taylorcorbett8848]

@Ace RBLX must've been Jin? You really can't tell their faces apart other than the red eye?

[@HaloWarZone]

its about the same effect i suppose lol

[@HaloWarZone]

​btw wtf are you guys talking about, this is kazuya, there is no jin there

[@maxrichards3881]

@Ace RBLX Kazuya’s left eye doesn’t start glowing red until the final act of this game, when he merges with the Devil spirit in his head.

[@maxrichards3881]

@Ace RBLX Both of his eyes were glowing in that opening scene, but the right was glowing more faintly. That was Devil in charge at the moment.

[@jorgiiboii]

“They all thought I was out of the game…But I’m holding all the cards now!” That line hit so hard! God damn! I love TEKKEN!!

[@MrDragonkarp]

Kazuya intro so cold 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@DavidLucian]

Tekken 4 and 5 are my favourite Tekken games of the Franchise. ☯️ By the way Tekken 4 had the best story and atmosphere no doubt. Also my favourite Tekken Intros of the series are 4 and 5. Especially Tekken 4, developers did a lot of things incredibly right, most storylines were incredibly cool and the atmosphere and seriousness was just on a another level. I don't think most would disagree that Tekken 4 had a great"everything-except-the-fighting" to it. Great and Epic soundtracks, unique character designs, good individual stories, and an interesting main Mishima arc revival. The thing is that it's still a fighting game and no matter how great everything else is, if the fighting bit is flawed it'll overshadow the positives.☯️✌

[@sugararmor8]

Can't even imagine what seeing Kazuya comeback after all those years must've been like (granted he was in Tag 1 but this feels like a total rebirth of Kazuya). This intro turns him into like the coldest character of all time "They all thought I was out of the game... but im holding all the cards now". Really hope they bring all these aesthetic choices back in a future Tekken game tbh.

It was very exciting. He was my favorite since 2. I didn't mind his absence in three but I went nuts when I saw this for the first time.

I guarantee you if Tekken 5 had online it would still be played 17 years later.

[@heatvaze2242]

I agree on T4 being the peak. It’s a shame they didn’t continue the story directly from T4. In Jin’s ending he drops a white feather foreshadowing he’s an angel. Other characters had lots of depth in their story as well. I think tekken would’ve been better off if they continued what they started in 4.

Tekken 4 and 5 are by far my favourite Tekken games of the Franchise. Especially Tekken 4 is sourly the most unique and underrated (mostly because of the choices that hindered the competitive scene) but it is my favorite Tekken to date, because of the very seriousness Vibes of the Story aspects perspective. The seriousness atmosphere of Tekken 4 it's on another level in my opinion. The soundtrack is what gets me the most next to the game's atmosphere. With soundtracks like: Fetus(Prologue), Authentic Sky, Unihabited(Mall Area) Didgerhythm(Jungle Area) Touch and Go(Airport Area) and Kitsch(Beach Area) and The Inner Shrine(Hon-Maru Temple) and others soundtracks, For me Tekken 4 remains even in these days the most Unique Tekken game of the series. ☯️
