Oh. I just found your video and I remember the reddit post where someone ansered their favourite song was pulse and anxiety just by saying Bwaaaamp

T4 is the best tekken ever. Just like MK11 is the best Mortal kombat game ever

bryans intro is A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forest Law ost was always insanely good and it still is to me. Great drums and great bass

A bit of pointless trivia for Ganryu's stage and why they named the song that way. The Tekken 1 stages, while not specifically tied to any one character, have loose ties to certain characters nonetheless. Yoshimitsu's catch phrased, heard throughout a lot of the Tekken games, is "Shiki soku zeku," for which a very loose translation is, "All things are in flux and nothing is permanent." And guess who Ganryu's rival in Tekken 1 is? Why yes, it's Yoshimitsu. I'll go you one further. Law's stage has a call back to the Rhythm of China track (Wang's stage music). Listen at around 1:39 to hear it. And Wang's rival in Tekken 1 is, that's right, Marshall Law. Yes, I know, I've heard this soundtrack way too much.

T4 is by far the most cohesive Tekken game of the franchise; from the aesthetic to the soundscape. The individual aspects of most other Tekken installments are easier to pick apart and analyze on their own, but with T4 the visuals and audio feel almost inseparable. (Perhaps the closest they've gotten to that is T5 with the Urban Jungle stage and its soundtrack.) I wish Tekken would aspire to achieve this level of coherence again in the future. As a music lover with AP (absolute pitch) I never noticed how Lights sounds centered in the key of F major but a lot of the melodic movements just dance around that and refuse to resolve back to that note. It's interesting how even in the results screen after the dust has settled the game still wants to keep you on your toes. Some of the eerie tracks like Fear and Unknown actually bring to mind the Silent Hill soundtracks. That series does an amazing job of creating an ambiance of unsettling dread, rather than going for easy spikes of fear through jump scares, and its music reflects that idea. Hopefully you'll consider giving the soundtracks a listen as well, particularly the first 4 games. By the way, an interesting connection between Silent Hill and Tekken is the female singer for some of the SH tracks is Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who is currently the voice actress for Nina in T7-T8. Anyway, thanks for this awesome review! Been enjoying your musical journey through the Tekken series so far, and can't wait to see the next ones!

Awesome video! Subbed

Dude you did Eddy's theme so dirty! The whole song is buildup, then the drums drop and leave you with a cool synth riff, and then the whole song climaxes in an incredible dance tune. Give it a listen again and have it in mind that the song is all buildup, and you'll enjoy it a lot more. I throw it on whenever I'm starting out a run and it helps me get pumped up and ready to crank out some miles!

Music in this is pretty good especially Honmaru stage but T2 by far had the best soundtrack which had some from T1 too.

Dude, I'm a musician and I love Tekken.Finding a channel like yours is a special occasion. I'm looking forward to your Tekken 5 video, I'm curious what you think of that soundtrack, considering it's my favorite. And I was wondering if you're going to be covering the Dark Resurrection soundtracks in the Tekken 5 video or if you're going to leave that for a separate episode?

It amuses me how dark Tekken 4 theme is and how colorful characters and stages are, it looks like Namco was going for that narrative

I've never really seen Heihachi as a sub-boss, so everytime I hear his arcade theme the only thing that rings on my mind is that his theme and Jin's are parallels with each other. Both have a very similar guitar riff and also both have a emergency vehicle-esque noise. Jin's sounds like the police have arrived, and Heihachi's sound like his police just got called and are on the way to give him armed support.

Tekken 4 my favourite game of all time

Not sure it's mentioned in the comments here but SF2's health musical change was preceeded by Yie-Ar Kung Fu 7 years earlier in the 80's. It was a minor difference, what with the musical notes taken out and replaced with a shrill warning sound played over an underlying repetitive bass but it was one of the first to inject audible danger into a fighting game

Yes. Yes it is.

Yes i enjoyed!!!

No its surperb!

Damn, I can barely wait for the Tekken 5 video! I love your videos, keep it up!

Tekken 4 story and aesthetic wise is def the best tekken. I actually dislike the story / vibe of many of the subsequent tekkens, despite the gameplay being great. Tekken 4 had a seriousness to it that really gave it a coolness / edge. The music is perfection, 'Fear' was my most listened to song in 2023 on Spotify.

Bitcrucher 👍

I love T4. It was my first video game and my favourite Tekken OST. Authentic Sky and Aruarian dance (Samarai Champloo Ost) are the only songs I could study to, for some reason.

Really interesting video-essay, many well-written counterpoints and facts about interesting games and how they are ''meant'' to be consumed Anticipation & Disappointment is really relatable... Felt absolutely targeted at the next section, because i'm really deep into Funger, but never casually played it haha... I'm really enjoying though! Not all games are fun, this is the variety as you mentioned, Less is more, and that's really interesting! Playing correctly is a topic for another discussion... Antichamber might be interesting, but it hurts my eyes to look at lol

really good, prelude to darkness is my favorite

name entry >>>>>>

can you review world of warcraft soundtrack too? and if you want you can review from vanilla to the last expansion on different videos lol

The final round music needs to be special, it makes it even more hype and important when it's rare

the cuts between sections are done in sync with the round ending blow sounds, it's a clever way to transition that doesn't require a crossfade, and gives more impact to the decisive attack

good video brother, I will now subscribe and watch other videos related to this one lol

Matt Furniss's rearrangements of Mortal Kombat 1 & 2 for the Sega Genesis are honestly worth listening. Matt Furniss does an excellent job at taking Dan Forden's more atmospheric "malevolent kungfu fight scene" sound and turning it into funkier, more catchy fighting game music. I don't think any one version is better than the other; they compliment each other quite well, but the comparison between the two are certainly interesting.

I hope you give a listen to the Namco System 246 arcade version of Tekken 4's soundtrack at some point (for fun, not a video). The songs' rearrangements from arcade to console are less drastic compared to previous Tekken games, but there are enough differences between them change the mood of some songs and even prefer one version over another.

The music kept me in practice mode longer than intended vs cpu

Yes, next question.

You're so right about Fetus, it really makes you care for the struggles of the fighter who decided to participate the tournament. I bought this game when I was a kid and at that time I didn't understand English language all that well as it is not my native language, but the music really carried the emotion alongside the striking imagery. It is a fantastic track and one of my all time favorites when it comes to game OSTs.

I'd love to have a horror game with a soundtrack like Tekken 4's

it underscored how amazing tekken 3's soundtrack was

The robotic voice are a style element. It's purposely made to not be understood clearly. It has no meaning. It's just there to sound cool and futuristic Remember that this game came out at the verge of a new millenium with a brend new high tech console. So the trend was to make everything look and feel futuristic. I think there is also a video on youtube calling it the "digital apocalypse" or "The Atmosphere of Tekken 4" from Thegamingbritshow

I see Tekken 4, I press like

9:30 that effect was mainly for Jin (the character you see) and his character and past, the mission is controlled therefore after tekken 3 who went berserk he came, trained and now he's in control. Tekken 3, 4, 5 were the peak of Tekken series in my opinion, sure it had few paranormal stuff like a couple of players but it was primarily martial arts gaming , Tekken 4 had few more techniques from 3 and 5 had legit techniques from martial arts and I loved it. The music was also peak as well but from 6 and after they fell at everything by crossing them with other games and putting too many sci fi and paranormal stuff thus making like the rest of the modern series thus making it boring, even when it comes to the music applied the same

(Downvotes incoming) Does Tekken 4 have good music? 🫤Somewhat. It’s not bad, but it wasn’t on par with the heyday of Tekken music as heard in Tekken 3 & or Tekken Tag. And things only got worse after Tekken 4, in terms of music in the games. So, while Tekken 4 doesn’t have “bad” music, it does mark the beginning of the decline in quality of music featured in Tekken games, which is still ongoing.

I like the abrupt cutting after a player gets K.O.’d

So something that alot of people dont know that some of the electric guitar you are hearing are actually samples from other famous songs and also Lei Wulong’s BGM is also shared with CVS2 stage the arena…i just found this out recently

Yoshimitsu ost arcade version is better imo

Tekken 4, Tekken 2 and Aggressors of Dark Kombat made me a fan of atmospheric music in fighting games 🎵 Great video. If you have free time, I recommend listen to the soundtrack of the original Fighter's History. Released in 1993, the OST was made by the band GAMADELIC As much as I like the music of its sequel (Fighter's History Dynamite), I much prefer the music of the first game. It is really underrated.

Tekken 4 is a product of its time, the early 2000s. The cyberpunk/cyber dystopian and virtual reality vibes. I really like how there is a brief interruption of the track when one gets KO So satisfying! Especially in Bit Crusher.

So let me explain to you about the Underground stage music…So IMO they used a distortion on it to give it urban grimey atmosphere you know what im saying?

I can tell you dont know much about automations

Mob’s arcade track has way cleaner audio mixing. Some of the ps2 tracks almost feel like they have more substance, but less clarity.

Touch and go & Gym ❤

The dynamic music in this game reminds me of F-Zero GX where they managed to pull off the final lap music transitions, all music have certain points where it will change to the final lap music depending on when you reach the final lap

Even though in most of these soundtracks I feel like we are antithesis spirits, I do like and appreciate your analysis and opinion. Plus I do find it entertaining when it contrast with mine and vise versa. (Yes I do like Mob.Lol) Can’t wait for Tekken 5. 😊
