Very underrated ost. Tekken 2 was the last Tekken with industrial, new age and majestic music.

[@doom5895]

Harada doesn't care about legacy tekken

[@GrumpyBearRawr]

Tekken started with absolutely amazing soundtracks and not so good graphics. As the series progressed the characters and stage designs became absolutely gorgeous at the expense of the music.

[@Manicman746]

@@GrumpyBearRawr shame most people don't care about music so much just impressive graphics

[@freudmeister]

Arguably one of the grittiest soundtracks to ever grace a fighter. Nothing will ever live up to that bass sample.

[@user-gu7kn3np4y]

I didn't know that the TEKKEN series would later become very popular all over the world.

[@doom5895]

bass is so violent its awesome

[@colinphizacklea9613]

Good soundtracks good fight game to boot .....

[@silverfabio9178]

Good work and quality!

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

Most of the tracks here are used in the PlayStation version when the BGM is set to Original. Even the pitch is lowered like in the PlayStation version.

[@Kewltastrophe]

I think they sound better when they are lower-pitched but yeah, some arcade footage have the music pitch different.

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

@@Kewltastrophe Some arcade footage? The high pitch is the ORIGINAL arcade pitch.

[@Kewltastrophe]

@@UltramanMebiusBrave Ohhh, I'm just so used to hearing it lower pitched lol

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

@@Kewltastrophe Ever tried playing on the PS2 via Tekken 5's Arcade History?

Nicely done!

[@DRAGONUNKNOWN]

Thank you. 🙏🏾

Excelente aporte, dale like si lo escuchas en el 2024

EXCELENTE APORTE, TE FELICITO

[@marlonmontelhiggins8570]

The Monument Valley theme sounds kind of different without the wind track, for some reason.

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

Just like the Chicago theme without "1, 2, 3, 4".

[@marlonmontelhiggins8570]

@@UltramanMebiusBrave - Definitely.

[@brandonlink7471]

I find it even more scary without it. I'm glad I always have trouble remembering what the arcade version of this track sounds like.

[@jack_gelse]

I never had to actually play Tekken 1, but I am very familiar with this godly OST through Tekken 4 - most of songs were included in "Statue" arena

[@pierrelallart7542]

[@toothless0219]

Marine Stadium&Fiji are favorite of mine. :)

[@SonicFanAko2013]

KAZUUYAAAAA MISHIMAAAAAAAAA

[@tonyatliss3709]

That Part 🤔

[@borisdelcastillo7196]

En mi opinión ninguna de los soundtrack que salieron después superaron a la primera entrega de Tekken.

[@1979or1979]

Tekken 1 and 2 infinite awesome and Tekken 3 was fine.

[@doom5895]

tried too hard to sound like the prodigy.

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

Everything went downhill on Tekken 4

[@UrosUki]

Kyoto best theme

[@ps123fan]

chicago

[@franciscobatalla7876]

yo creo esos 3 primeros juegos de Tekken está bien pero si la banda sonora no se salva ningún momento pues que yo jugaba el primero así era el Tekken de las arcades y la play 1

[@TTBurgerThePlayStationGamer]

Whenever I play the first three Tekken games I always use the arcade soundtrack over the remix soundtrack for the simple reason because the arcade original soundtrack is better the remix soundtrack is not very good

[@thepulseman7154]

I wish the developers gave more informations about pitch differences, if judging by sequels it is what the original pitch is supposed to be, it's definitely more in line with a4=440 Hertz which is litterally the cursor sound. But then why the actual arcade version sounds like it's subject to PAL speedup?

[@DRAGONUNKNOWN]

Who knows? Probably a tech error from their ends. But I do know this, the developers probably couldn't remembered what happened to the sounds because it was in production around late '93 - early '94 and technology was different back in the days. I'd imagine if they had floppy disks and source codes to go back and check the files. With today's technology, I'd figure if they were to explain the pitch differences of the sounds and music. 🤷🏾‍♂️ But break a bone and just say, "fuck it"...

[@BeaugosseRiche]

Honestly, this was a... pretty bad sountrack. Tekken 3, 4, etc. had much better songs. This sounds like experimental mashed potatoes. Nostalgia can't fix everything.

[@suiken3149]

Arranged versions were much better

[@BeaugosseRiche]

Agreed. And I do love 90s OSTs, otherwise I wouldn't be here, but then I listen to Authentic Skies from T4 and... wow.@@suiken3149
