Tekken 5 - Is The Music Good?

[@dinosulic101]

Aside from Tekken, which franchise‘ OSTs should I cover soon?

[@volpe2077]

Jak X, Undertale/Deltarune, Silent Hill 2, Sonic Frontiers, Metal Gear Rising, Persona 5, Assassin's Creed 2, Hitman: Codename 47, Celeste, FTL, almost any pokemon game (but I guess Black/White in particular), Chrono Trigger, probably a lot of the Final Fantasy games, and last but certainly not least La-Mulana 1 and 2 (although no one probably played them...one of the hardest, but most involved and best experiences ever in my gaming life)

[@bradskag3007]

The 3d Sonic games

[@richwalk3954]

If you're looking into more fighting game music, I would recommend the Virtua Fighter series.

[@malik87breaker]

Katamari Damacy and Ridge Racer

[@jigramunt_]

In terms of enjoying the sort of "cohesive variety" that Tekken 5 has, you might enjoy a lot of the Castlevania soundtracks >:J

[@thetruej7872]

Tekken 5 does have some banger music. SPARKING, Crimson Sunset, Dragon's Nest, Formless like water, and Unforgiven are my favorite songs to listen to.

[@dinosulic101]

Great list! Do you feel like sparking has stood the test of time?

[@thetruej7872]

@@dinosulic101 I don't know if I would say it stood the test of time, but it's still one of my favorite openings in Tekken.

49:04 "One More" is the lose theme, it plays when you lose fight and 10 second countdown starts to start fight again or return to menu, you could say to give it "One More" shot

[@kanjosmacedonovic2259]

Very interesting video, this should have way more views. Thanks for the hard work!

[@MEKK01]

42:41 The piano in Poolside always reminds me of Robert Miles - Children lol. I love it. I think my favorite song in T5, and maybe top 3 in all of Tekken, is Formless Like Water. I can't break down why as well as you can, but I just find the vocals really soothing. Despite the heart pumping beat over the whole thing, I feel calm and collected while fighting with this track playing, and I can almost smell the grass and water through the speakers, but it might be nostalgia for the stage causing that. I'm a sucker for those echoing, harmonic, singing moments in tracks. A big reason why T6 Karma is my #1 out of all Tekken.

[@dinosulic101]

Great take! I definitely know what you mean with being able to smell the grass and water. The immersion of the music alone is really stellar in some of these tunes, and Formless Like Water is a prime example of that. Thanks for watching, see you in the next one :)

[@jgillan92]

I always knew the piano in poolside reminded me of something, I could never put my finger on it, though. You have great ears for pointing out Children by Robert Miles, biblical slice of trance 👍😎🎵🔥

[@richwalk3954]

Most of Tekken 5 and Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection are on my phone while I'm working out at the gym. They really give me a rush when I'm on the treadmill, especially when Jinpachi's boss theme plays.

[@dinosulic101]

I can definitely see why! Which one is your favorite, is it The Finalizer?

[@richwalk3954]

@@dinosulic101 The original Tekken 5 version, I think. I couldn't remember what the Dark Ressurection one was, though. Jinpachi was such a pain to fight back then. That damn freezing/stun move screwed me over many times.

tekken music is a gym music staple for me too lol

Sparking is so incredibly cheesy but in a way I love, it feels like such a timecapsule that is just fun to go back to

[@segaplaystation]

right? it takes me back to that era of gaming and i love it lol

[@GODFATHER.512]

It reminds me of my childhood

[@claustrophobicmole867]

i absolutely love this passionate yapping and i cant let this opportunity to yap about my favourite tekken ost of all time pass 43:25 i have never heard anyone mention how ground zero funk sounds fitting for devil jin, but in a way it does fit incredibly well, personally to me this theme is the best representation of the endless mishima cycle of violence ever, inner shrine is such an incredible theme for jin confronting his inner demons while surpassing the mishimas, heat haze is so hype defining the final clash of two generations as well but it does not compare to what ground zero funk represents, what it feels like, along with the stage, and lore it all capsulates so well what tekken means in its core and how i remember it in my childhood the combination of the gray wasteland of the mishima honmaru temple where nothing but a desolated landscape is left and the mishimas fighting along with the soundtrack intensifying the confrontation alongside hints of tragic connotations in the tune combine into a view so tragic and cool that feels like "even at the rubble of the mishima foundations, where nothing is remains, the mishimas would continue fighting until the end" i have not enough words in my lexic to describe how beautifully it portrays the tragic and intense confrontation between father and son, kazuya and heihachi specifically, the song continuing to circle and cycle towards the same looming conclusion of confrontation damn its so PEAK its such a shame other tekkens jukebox dont have this theme and it was never used again because of licensing issues, i heard it had to do about the composer using a sample of a singer i believe this is the suspect and youll be suprised to hear how much it sounds inspired from this piece the original inspiration sounds so alike but in a much slower pace be patient and youll notice it easily Inspiration for easier recognition check 01:09 (remember it has a much slower pace than Ground zero funk) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHSvi2eAr9mVoNEsi=3IOSiMi22FzNWu74 Ground zero funk check 01:09 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWW3lnWpqp2Yra8

If you can mod it in, I did the same. Can't live without it in tekken 8

[@kamuuuu69]

man, can't wait for the dark resurrection review. especially snow castle, still one of the most beautiful songs in the series. vid is awesome as always, thanks for combining my two favorite hobbies!

[@vulcan3915]

Yes. Next question.

[@KoaztalYT]

can’t wait for your vids on 6 and tag 2 if they are planned, i really enjoy your in depth shares of your thoughts on these. (i’m watching these while eating lol) and it’s really comforting to know there’s fellow tekken music nerds such as myself out there that are willing to get into detail with these songs.

[@LikeADamnFIDDLE]

Fuck yeah i rewatched the tekken 4 vid yesterday. An incredibly welcome surprise

[@dinosulic101]

Gld to hear that, hope you have fun with this video :)

[@LikeADamnFIDDLE]

​@dinosulic101 Yeah that was a fun little tight package. I really enjoy your presentation style and your main video idea of going into a knowledgeable depth into video game music. Your content has a ton of potential. I just wish you spent a lil extra time elaborating on the musical concepts that you mentioned. some visualizations or outside examples perhaps. Like that chord root thingy you brought up, Idk what it is still and I doubt I could learn music theory by just watching a KZbin vid but even then, just a little elaboration would be cool. Also I enjoyed it when you added some facecam commentary footage in the last vid, it added some variety you know. Overall tho I can't and shouldn't complain, the vid hit hard, just not as hard as moonlit wilderness tho, and another similarly emotional, and icy track from DR which drastically improves the theme from its predecessor (yeah you know which one I'm itching like a crack whore to hear you talk about that). Lovely stuff dude

[@diobananoart]

Thank you so much for this video! Looking forward to your input on the next few installments of Tekken. :) You clearly put so much effort into them, it absolutely shows! After listening to T5 OST more and specifically "Sparking!" I see how the music producers of Tekken definitely took inspiration of the Anime-esque sequence of the T5 opening and the music to create an upgraded version in the form of the Tekken 8 opening. T8 seems to reference back a lot to T5 which I appreciate.

[@OnionJuice517]

God, I can't wait for you to cover Tekken Tag Tournament 2 OST! Other than that, I'd love to hear what you have to say about Street Fighter soundtracks (especially 6, since fanbase seems very divided on it). Edit: Just got to the point where you talk about adaptive music during round, now I want to hear you talk about SF5 and 6 even more, since their adaptive music system makes every transition buttery smooth

[@DavidLucian]

Tekken 4 and 5 are by far my favourite Tekken games of the Franchise, especially from PS2 Era.The soundtracks is what gets me the most next to the game's atmosphere, and Tekken 4 and 5 soundtracks have the most Iconic soundtracks of the Franchise in my opinion. For me Tekken 4 and 5 remain even in these days the most Unique and Authentic Tekken games of the series. 🎶☯️🎶 #NostalgicVibes #Childhood #Memories

[@barelyaware861]

Pretty awesome vid, can’t wait for your thoughts on T5: DR OST

[@Awesmic1]

I never had much love for Tekken as a game, but I've always had a soft spot for the music, especially Tekken 5. And it's one of the few videogame OSTs that I was willing to buy a vinyl album for.

Theres alot of games out there that have amazing ost. But tekken 5 man. That shit resonates in my SOUL

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

Unforgiven not having at least the option of the crowd vocalisations in T8's Jukebox was disheartening. I spent ages trying to find the track by memory before needing to look it up, didnt recognise it without them.

[@MansMan42069]

Tekken 5 was so pivotal that every game since Tekken 5 has just been "Tekken Five-point-something".

[@Miss._Jellyfish_]

Crimson sunset is one of my all time favorite tracks, and it's alternate version, call of the inferno is just as good. I'm also a huge fan of Antares and Gold rush.

[@DiabolicCrusher]

Tekken 5's music is peak, especially both songs in the opening. I could glaze the game to hell and back because i that's what i've gotten into the series with, but one thing i'll admit not all of the OST is amazing, Unforgiven personally is just...meh(same with Poolside and Frozen Paradise). Moonlit Wilderness is a masterpiece(and its Tag 2 arrangement makes it even better). The Finalizer is also great and so is most other tracks, though i heard the damn thing in my nightmares no thanks to Jinpachi and how much i struggled with him before.

[@ilikefishandpotatoes]

Massive Stunner is such an underrated track. It gets me pumped like no other.

[@zecodes]

Massive Stunner sounds like a drum n bass track. Old skool type of one.

[@MaxCanonStunner]

Yes. Next question. Edit: I'm pretty sure One More is used for continue screen

[@PassionWagonYT]

Poolside's piano melody is also outright lifted from 'Children' by Robert Miles. It's not the first fighting game to do it either, Rock's theme in Garou Mark of the Wolves also lifts that same melody.

[@thewave-qz9lt]

the songs in devil within are also really good i love stage 2's theme.

TK3 and TK5 has my favorite Tekken ost, with Tekken 6 far 3rd.

[@JKSSN123]

Tekken 5 DR next?

[@claustrophobicmole867]

32:53 personally i really dont see it as generic, i see it more as a slower and more menacing rearrange of tekken 3 jins theme kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ_TqqaAYs1lhK8 00:48 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5_JmIF-gMSJrrs 00:07 its just such a cool callback to the essence of jins character being corrupted the ominous organ adding the sinister tone the devil gene consuming the hardly recognisable og theme is excellent it reminds me a lot of kazuyas theme emotionless passion and the contrast with the devil kazuya theme whereas jins devil theme feels corrupted because he is an imperfect devil form and more like a half demon devil kazuyas theme goes in hand alongside the motive of the main theme and character, a complete devil form

[@bashkim765]

Formless like water is my fav honestly

[@filipanicic771]

40:23 Was not expecting Halid Beslic in a Tekken video 😂😂

[@AlexBelte3002]

I believe that DR up the quality level when it comes to the music. And i never played DR, only Classic T5 for like... Woof. Dozens of hours. And then, starting from T6, besides a few memorable ones, it went down like, a LOT.

[@dinosulic101]

[@anujoymukherjee271]

Ground Zero Funk is toooo good, Still gives me goosebumps

[@1SecondToLight]

Gold Rush is my favourite track of T5, but it almost ties with Finalizer and Formless Like Water. As for Moonlight Wilderness, I did not like it first but got used to it after sometime and kinda like it now, but I feel like TTT2 MW remix is just richer version. T5 OST is great overall, but can't say the same about audio quality.

btw, are you going to cover 5DR next or 6?

[@leastvieweverreally]

Massive Stunner I like a lot due to giving me a lot of DMC3 vibes. If I was letting my KZbin mix go on by itself and I didn’t know better I’d think it was from that game instead of Tekken. Sometimes I catch myself checking just to be sure.

[@AxelEVILPOTATO]

Moonlight wilderness is my favourite music along with sparking. My highschool band was named after i listened this track (Moonlight Madness) 😂😂😂

[@lukemacinnes5124]

I think the T5 opening needing the visuals isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's a downside if you're listening to the ost but it also just shows how fit for purpose it is as an opening move soundtrack

[@NotsoseriousNick]

Tekken 5 is where I feel, stylistically, Tekken becomes what we expect out of this franchise musically. Banger OST top to bottom, but I personally still prefet 4. Also, and this is a personal question, where do you find the composer credits for each song? Having done videos myself and using Tekken music frequently it's frustrating finding the credits for who made which track.

[@dinosulic101]

I took the credits from the Tekken fandom.com wiki. I don‘t know if they‘re perfectly accurate, but they seem quite thorough, and I always want to at least name the composers/producers, since they are often underappreciated.
