“As soon as you stop fighting the computer like it’s a human, then you start winning.” Sadly... this is true. I was recently streaming the arcade modes for all the new MK11 characters and as soon as I got to the Kronika fight, I had to ask “alright, what kind of cheese am I going to use to easily kill her?” because that’s how fighting game AI and especially boss AI works.

Still glad to have my copy, and the iconic console still in use today. Been back to playing Tekken once again, all throughout this week already and the nostalgia is bringing back so many memories. Honestly was a great way to end the month of August, getting back into this. Happy to see people still play it, as well. Great Characters, Audio, Storyline, and graphics for it's time.

PS1, were talking about a console from the early 90's whose games still hold up today. That is amazing! And that's coming from a Dreamcast fanatic. Therefore playing PS1 was like playing video games that were 30 years ahead of their time. And it really did feel that way, this is one instance where the hype was real. Keep in mind that on the big screen, the games looked much better than on youtube.

[@ProxyDoug]

I demand King and Elf Jinny to decided in combat who is the master grappler

[@HaipaSonikku]

That's absolutely not true with the making Virtua Fighter "uncool". What happened was that due to the failure of the Sega Saturn outside Japan, Sega's first party IPs in the consumer market were affected as a result. Also, and a BIG also, Arcade peaked in the United States in 1994 and when Virtua Fighter 3 was announced and then released in 1996 Arcade, Sega wanted over $10,000 for it, which by then most arcades refused to pay up. So while VF was a continued meteoric rise in JP, the momentum was paused and stop here. VF3 finally came out in 1998/1999 on Dreamcast but by then Soul Calibur on it happened. Basically Tekken benefited MUCH more from the PlayStation platform then the other way around. Tekken 6 is proof of that. Tekken 6 was Tekken's meteoric moment in Japan but ironically like Arcade Model 3 VF3 here, Namco wanted over $10,000 for which most arcades here refused. Made worse when Tekken 6 went Xbox and the media was doing its hit job on every Japanese game. Shooters are 1 -10 all NPD best sellers on Xbox 360, greatly diminishing the fighting genre. Namco took a while here, PlayStation 4 made it right and here we are with Tekken 7.

[@TheFranssiBrother]

I remember getting this back in the day as a kid, after having the first Tekken. Only thing was that disc was somehow fucked up and wouldn't last more than few rounds until the game had a loading error with it. Hecking hated it when I couldnt get to Ogre after Heihachi.

I will never forget the moment I got this game as a christmas present, fired it up on the Playstation and that damn intro started. I was stunned, hypnotized with the graphics, the music, the shadowy colours and atmosphere, the characters and the action. As a kid it felt more like a 90s action movie than a videogame cutscene. It felt like I was witnessing that promised future of videogames becoming almost real. The rest of the game was also nuts for the time. Easily my favourite fighting game ever.

[@Nicky89]

As an 8-year old in 97' this game attracted me in the store because of its cover. Couldn't be happier when my grandmother gave it to me for Christmas with the PS1.

And getting Dr. B in Tekken Force Mode was such a hassle!

[@DirgeTV]

As much as I enjoyed Tekken 2, THIS is the game that turned me into a Tekken fan for life. I agree that even now, this is still incredible looking for a game from 1997. And that soundtrack is just awesome. One of the few times where I love both the simplicity of the Arcade arrangement AND the turned up cool factor of the Remix arrangement. There is not one single song on there that I don't get hyped for every time it plays, including Gon's stage music (hell, it sounds like its straight from a PS1 Sports game advert). Fun Fact: This is also the game where I first discovered you can listen to the entire game's soundtrack just by putting it in your CD Player.

[@MaskedGuyCh]

This was the best looking game on PS1 free. Plus so much love and effort was put into it. Truly a masterpiece.

The only game to have Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan.

[@admiralakbar]

I feel like there's so much new that this game brought to fighting games at the time: a time skip with a cast of mixed second generation and aged first gen fighters, good sidestepping, a huge addition of depth of stances (both for old and new characters), and obviously a refinement of animation. Looking back it really holds up as a huge moment in the genre.

And Yoshimitsu until Tekken 4 The thing about the Law family grunts is yes, both Marshall and Forest were voiced by Harada, however Forest's grunts have been reused by Marshall for Tekken 4 and 5. Tekken 6 completely revamped Marshall, and gone were the Harada grunts.

Loss was my only companion that day.

I remember all the hours we spent trying to dethrone one of our buddies who mained Eddy all the time. I'd have to agree with you too about this being the pinnacle of fighting games on the PS1.

I literally was just playing Tekken 3 5 minutes ago and beat it was Hwoarang on Hard. That’s so weird 😄😄

This was the first Tekken game that I owned & played. It still holds up more than 20 years later.

This was the 1st game I spent work money on. It might have actually even been the 1st game I ever bought myself period.

I love how a lot of the modern tech still works in this game. Booted this up last weekend and jobbed the highest difficulty with KBDs and laser scraper/electrics on Jin. It's crazy seeing how small the movelists used to be too.

Tekken 3 is my favorite stand alone Tekken game. When the game came out all those years ago I was only 17 at the time! This is super nostalgic for me. Great video Max!

I still remember that opening playing on loop on the cab at the movie theater. I was going through my childhood desk a few years back and found some old drawings. I thought one was some DBZ thing until I noticed the dots on the back of his hands and realized it was a Tekken drawing. Sometimes I forget how ubiquitous T3 was at a point.

As a kid, the only way I could have played this was at the local Pizza Hut. They had this and Cruisin USA in a corner. It was always a highlight of my month if I got the chance to do it. When I finally got this for PS1, I swear to god I never turned it off for months at a time. It was always so comfy

This game ran at 60 FPS on the PS1 ... for that time this was AMAZING ... can't even think of another game that did that...

[@oopopp]

Hwaorang was always my favorite main ... his combos was so satisfying to use .. ALL kicks lol

[@rcblazer]

Tekken 3 was Namco mastering the formula created with the first two games to the point that it became awesome! It's still an awesome game today!

i pre-ordered this game for my 10th birthday. came with a free Jin Kazama shirt. Hwoarang's 3333/4444 combo got me Thru as a kid
