Ah yes, the "online arcade experience". You get all the negatives and positives of playing online, and all the negatives of playing in an arcade, but none of the positives of playing in an arcade. Brilliant.
Yeah bro I understand law was my main then and now so looking back on it I laugh because in law vs law marches I beat somebody every time because I was good at baiting people to red moving me especially with hwo but law had they best pressure outside of hwo and a few orhers
Funny that TMM haven't said anything about hackers. You had people with infinite health, power and vigor, those people if you faced them online, could kill you with one jab.
I was just going to mention hackers. They single handedly destroyed what little enthusiasm I had left playing this game, and it was already pretty low due to rage quitters and invincible spammers. (Kazuya with lasers and Law were the absolute worst offenders). Honestly, hackers were just a final excuse to quit the game all together. But I kept playing because I prefer Tekken in its purist form which was solo play and this game had no bound, it was like T5DR again. Hell it was classic Tekken all together again which was a huge breath of fresh air. The best way to enjoy Revolution was to join a room session with principled players or trusted online friends. What do I mean by principled players? Well, Most people who played there in room sessions avoided stats like the plague and enforced these rules by booting anyone who had any excessive amounts of stats or did absolutely nothing but spam and abused the invincible moves. It was a sanctuary to escape the madness and simply play Tekken in all its naked and simple glory.
Even without running into hackers the stats were ridiculous. Rank up too quickly and everybody else will have a huge stat advantage over you just because they played more matches.
@@kingmastergief we’ve all been there, I was a crappy Asuka player and this one time a law player would thrash me, I’d just rematch and keep trying to button mash till I won, then after losing all my tickets... I entered training mode and actually started learning the game 😂 I didn’t wanna waste a single one of those precious free tickets, especially since I wasn’t gonna actually pay for any 😂
@@kipzonderkop1994 TR is when I really learned how to play Paul, who admittedly was pretty OP if you jacked up his stats. You still had to kinda know how to play the game, mix-ups and spacing and whatnot. King was just toxic. Death combos weren't uncommon or even hard to do. If you touched someone twice, the round was over. And let's not even talk about if you landed a throw chain. 😂😂 The tickets in a way added incentive to playing like an ass, since learning to play a more high skill or honest character literally cost you money. Why take a week struggling to play Asuka, getting hit with invincibles trying to whiff punish, when you can just pick Paul and death fist someone twice? As BROKEN as the game was, it was pretty fun. I'd forgotten all about it since T7 dropped.
I love this game. It got me into tekken seriously because it was free. Found my main in this game, went from being a law player (like 80% of mains in this game) to a feng main. Even unlocked Eliza in this game, but never enjoyed her.
ill never forget that almost every player had stats in power only! Every match : oh heres a 200 power law player again spam them red kicks & spin kick boi... OR another 200 power Kazuya with the laser show or heres a king player doing nothing but those low stun kicks or that death grab combo! FUN! i also remember some people that did "no stats" challenges.
The disconnections happened after the very first update, my guess is that it was done on purpose to keep the scrubs playing, it always happened 1 second after a round had started. Never happened before the first update for the game, i still remember that
Good riddance. This would've killed the Tekken franchise if they kept focusing on this model. Cant believe anyone thought this game was good in anyway outside of customs, osts etc.
A lot of people hated this game but this is what got me back into Tekken. The animation was beautiful compared to Tag 2 and the special move effects were amazing! I bought tag 2 4 years after its release so that I could play tekken without having to wait or pay for coins.
Imo i enjoyed the brightness of Tag 2 instead of the disgusting grittyness of Revolution it looks muddy and unfinished like Streetfighter vs Tekken. It's also buried in special effects thats where that overflow of sfx began really
Yeah it's funny how much hate people give tag. I dislike it as well... But ironically i played revolution _first_ when i got back into tekken and then _after_ i was game shared tag and it was like leaving hell and going into heaven. Revolution was such a nightmare of an experience at least for me.... It was just so much worse than going up against capo in tag 2.
@@sobervision1049 there's a lot of other problems with T7 unrelated to balance or even to gameplay mechanics, such the unstability of the game and its netcode. Or the lack of offline modes and content. You're deliberately overlooking those things. To believe T7 is a good game just because it SOLD well is a delusion, just as it is to believe TTT2 was a bad game because it sold poorly.
@@wardogthreeisanidiot6561 First, I never said the game was good because it sold well. The netcode is an issue with most fighting games (not saying thats fine) and the offline content isnt as much as previous games but its still the biggest tekken has ever been especially on the competitive stage. Some tekkens were literally unplayable because of broken exploits. Also the fact you think ttt2 is better than t7 is wild to me.
@@destructo3457 yeah it's funny. If you stay in the title screen it'll load a match of two a.i's. eventually it'll load a match with jinpachi... At which point the game glitches before it loads the match.
Frame 4 actually. Some of the armor moves in T7 have/had 6f armor and they were OP, like alisa df1+2 for some reason had 6f armor til season 4 And ya 4f invincible moves that beat everything, and took no damage except before frame 4 and after the first active frame, were broken as fuck lol
It’s very sad for me that the last tag fighting games failed and in the future we will most likely not see them. My favorite fighting games are the sfxt and ttt2
I've been playing Tekken for 18+ Years, and Idunno I often feel like I'm the only one in retrospect who likes Tag2. I appreciate a straight fight as much as the next guy but it was so refreshing to have something new between Tekken 6 and Tag 2 introducing bound and tag systems. I know there was alot of potential for busted jank. In my opinion I don't like what Tekken 7 did by introducing power crush hyper armor and rage art free damage with no effort delete buttons. Those elements lend themselves less to the straight up fights than the Tag 2 or Tekken 6 systems imo yet no one complains because easy free damage
I actually liked Tekken Revolution. It got me into Tekken when the last game before it I played was Tag 1. Spammers were fun to punish as they just used the super moves. But there were also so many spmmers that my rank was way higher than my actual skill level. I was good at combos but I could do nothing like KBD or sidestep moves etc wtc. I think the highest I hit was Genbu in that game but I was stuck on lower ranks in Tekken 7 for a long time and well still am cause I don't have a PS4
Yes TR was what heavily introduced me into the world of tekken once I picked up law I couldn’t put him back down I believe my highest rank was fuijin and what ever 2 ranks is after it that was my highest but yeah I play with OGs on T8 and sometimes on t6 and they always tell me that TR wasn’t considered a tekken game
It’s crazy now that I think about it because they accepted TT2 but not TR but honestly it was because of the invincibles and stat upgrades but honestly it wasn’t truly that bad just toxic tbh lol but trust me nobody out toxic me whenever they tried I got law or heo
I love revolution's themes even play them on tekken 7 also one thing really frustrating was that you couldn't just pick who you wanted you had to reach certain points
Offline RPG mode for tekken 7 would have been great with insanely hard bosses, of course there is shin akuma but thats only 1 character and you can't upgrade your stats
@@LinusVanPeltx986 Then you were lucky. Sometimes I couldn't even play the game simply because there was an unbeatable hacker who would waste all my coins/tickets.
Hey TMM! Thanks for the awesome answer! I think under the hood, Tekken Revolution was a very promising game. The removal of bound made the game more poke oriented, and it was a joy to play with stats turned off. But the RPG elements, and pay to play mechanics heavily obscured the positive attributes. Despite the flaws, it started my love of competitive Tekken, and turned me into a viewer of your content way back in 2013, so I always wanted to hear your thoughts on it! MASKU pal.
@@wardogthreeisanidiot6561 I don't see where I said it was a good game? There were just some parts of it that I really appreciated. But yes, having to play player match to make the game fun, isn't good. Also, it isn't nostalgia, considering I enjoyed playing the game during its run. I'm not looking back on it any more fondly now than I did back then.
The thing I loved about this game was that it was basically a updated Tekken 5 with minimal bounds. But had the worst systems with the stats and and garbage red moves. And MAN the hackers. Such a shame.
I played this game a lot! It was my most played Tekken game ever before Tekken 7. Thanks to this, later I got TTT2 to improve myself. Then I got Tekken 7 two months after the release date.
I loved the particle effects and the return to a more basic combo system but the leveling mechanics enabled hackers like crazy and unlocking characters was a pain in the ass I never quite understood fully
I want that Kazuya skin back. Perfect Heihachi tribute for T8. Also, I loved Tag 2 and would've loved Revolution if they gave you an option to just buy it for $20. The "paying quarters at the arcade" gimmick is the closest thing to justifying micro transactions as we're ever gonna get, but they locked characters behind it which makes it indefensible
@@nixuniverse5240 Oh yeah, definitely not as heavy, but still keeping them a bit like they are now. Not the invincible attack type sparks, though, more just like what Kazuya's d/f+2 is and his electric and such. Those looked nice.
Wow the nostalgia. Pro Tekken King of Tekken Revolution Shirrako(A.K.A Zannar from Tekken Zaibatsu), mops the floor with a Scrupman SWE in this video. Good times
What MMS forgot to tell you, that the cool effects, costumes, tokens, and I think the characters if you wanted one early, you had to pay like... $5 for one costume with like... 3 different colors, $3 for the cool effects, and $3 for a new character, EACH. You could also do something like borderlands does with Respec with your points, but you needed a reset drink... and guess what, you had to pay for that too. The good thing at least was that the 30 tokens was $5 and if you were really good/cheesy at the game, you could make them stretch as long as you kept on winning. This was also the game where Eliza was first introduced and the OBSERD amount of blood seals to get her and costumes was basically what gta V money system is now. They also DIDN"T have a training area when the game first came out, you had to have awful internet, set the search to 5 bar only, which you'd rarely find in general, and train with the dumby computer that was the equivalent of your little sibling playing with you. The ranking system kept going up because at one point, the highest was Savior, and then they kept bumping it up little by little until true Tekken God over the span of 3 years as well as the points system so you could have power, 200vigor, and 50 endurance. In the early stages you didn't have a way to turn off the points system and if you were a 200 power person, you could called out for it, a lot! There was sooo much that they had for this game... it was a mess... but I loved every second I played.
Listen. Outside of red move and stats this game was AWESOME!! I was a wifi warrior at the time. Young fella. This game was where I learned how to play the game. Met a ton of my ps3 Tekken buddies. Established the characters I liked playing. Remember how at the start it was only like, Asuka Jin Paul Law and like Kazuya? Everyone else you had RNG for at random 🤣 I wanted to play Jin but got Miguel and DJin. So that's who I picked up at the time. *Asuka main* Great Game. Saved Tekken. Was basically an online exclusive of a modern day Tekken Game Cabinet. Found some at a place called Round 1 in the states, Mi. Not play to win. Was win to play 🤣🤣🤣 I definitely put money into it for sure. Even death matched people in Ranked mode. Remember losing like 10 of my gold coins to this absurd, to me at the time, Bryan player in the sick battle armor with the scope. Stage was ranning. I was ragging but it was beautiful. TMM you didn't even mention the blood carnival, which I get because you're specifically talking Revolution, which introduced Elisa. The SS tier of Revolution 🤣🤣🤣 And her 3 crit combo. And her 43 moves to work with lmao
This game was active by the time I left Tekken after TTT2. I literally skip it, and I never heard of it until I saw it on Tekken 7. Don't really like how the game works, but atleast it had good soundtracks, and sometimes I put them in some T7 stages Thanks to the jukebox
The biggest mistake about tag2 is that it was not released on PC. Specially when the PC gaming market was getting even bigger with titles like Skyrim coming out that year. What a huge waste.
I like how TMM probably didn't notice that he played against a RUclipsr called "Shirakko", still really miss this game, want to play it again, but it was barely free to play like for example, CS:GO is nowadays, to play all modes you have to buy Prime status for 14 Euros to get access to all game modes
I liked the game despite having to wait for my online tokens, we needed to start learning combos without bounces and those or at least some of them works till this day, also the hackers hahaha so many unplugs because parrying their overpowered moves, i kinda miss those days
Good video here MainMan! I myself was also thinking of breaking down Tekken Revolution at some point in future even though you've covered most of it here. A short-lived game of Tekken on Steroids I'd say XD My wallet greatly funded for Tekken 7 through this game lmao
The critical hit aspect (vigor) was itself made redundant considering you could put your coins onto Power, and it would make every attack stronger ALL of the time, rather then just your key moves stronger SOME of the time.
More people probably would cared about Revolution if it wasn’t only on PS3, also Tag 2 despite having problems with rage combos was still more fun than Revolution imo.
I learnt how to punish blocked big lows using delayed hopkick on Tekken Revolution because every Law player in this game did go for Dragon Tail every 5 seconds.
Yo don't forget the fact there was a meme for this game and now it just no longer exists for some odd reason it was a meme where if the bf lose the gf gets to go through his phone and it showed a Lars doing an insane comeback but me & my uncle can't find it on RUclips or on any of the social media plats
Why all the hate against tag 2? For me was one of the best tekken not only for the decal customization but also for the combos you could do People just love to hate man
I loved it in its own right and it honestly felt like it helped me grow into a better player. Yet I'm definitely relieved this system wasn't used to replace the traditional.
0:28-0:53 Man, this digital-only, online-only world sure is great! No physical copy that you can own forever and the game can be removed and rendered unplayable at any time, meaning people who never got to experience the game in its heyday (like I dunno... me maybe? Haha) never will! What a glorious age we live in. Do you think we will ever get a console where every single game, even single players ones, are server side only? That'd be the dream!
Ah yes, the "online arcade experience". You get all the negatives and positives of playing online, and all the negatives of playing in an arcade, but none of the positives of playing in an arcade. Brilliant.
Those red move spamming laws used to piss me off. Every match just turned into me waiting for them to use them so I could punish them.

Also, I loved Tag 2 and would've loved Revolution if they gave you an option to just buy it for $20. The "paying quarters at the arcade" gimmick is the closest thing to justifying micro transactions as we're ever gonna get, but they locked characters behind it which makes it indefensible
I do want to see the VFX effects back.
Yeah they were so cool
Same, but just toned down a bit. All those crazy effects would (in my opinion) get kinda annoying to look at after a while.
@@nixuniverse5240 Oh yeah, definitely not as heavy, but still keeping them a bit like they are now. Not the invincible attack type sparks, though, more just like what Kazuya's d/f+2 is and his electric and such. Those looked nice.
VFX look great and it helps with them difficult Tekken reads. I vote for them. Thinking about it I wonder what Tekken 8's visual direction will be?
The scenarios in this games look so great, i wish Tekken 8 has this level of design
Imagine eating a critical death fist with full power and rage !!
You should rename yourself to TheMainManSMUG.
@@juhairierosli9573 I thought I made it pretty clear. Do you need me to dumb it down even more for you?
Wow the nostalgia. Pro Tekken King of Tekken Revolution Shirrako(A.K.A Zannar from Tekken Zaibatsu), mops the floor with a Scrupman SWE in this video. Good times
That Paris stage is sick.
At 13:00 he started playing the old devil jin theme please mix that with the regular jin theme tekken music has allways been a big part of my life
What MMS forgot to tell you, that the cool effects, costumes, tokens, and I think the characters if you wanted one early, you had to pay like... $5 for one costume with like... 3 different colors, $3 for the cool effects, and $3 for a new character, EACH. You could also do something like borderlands does with Respec with your points, but you needed a reset drink... and guess what, you had to pay for that too. The good thing at least was that the 30 tokens was $5 and if you were really good/cheesy at the game, you could make them stretch as long as you kept on winning. This was also the game where Eliza was first introduced and the OBSERD amount of blood seals to get her and costumes was basically what gta V money system is now. They also DIDN"T have a training area when the game first came out, you had to have awful internet, set the search to 5 bar only, which you'd rarely find in general, and train with the dumby computer that was the equivalent of your little sibling playing with you. The ranking system kept going up because at one point, the highest was Savior, and then they kept bumping it up little by little until true Tekken God over the span of 3 years as well as the points system so you could have power, 200vigor, and 50 endurance. In the early stages you didn't have a way to turn off the points system and if you were a 200 power person, you could called out for it, a lot! There was sooo much that they had for this game... it was a mess...
but I loved every second I played.
Tag 2 is my favorite video game of all time
Listen. Outside of red move and stats this game was AWESOME!! I was a wifi warrior at the time. Young fella. This game was where I learned how to play the game. Met a ton of my ps3 Tekken buddies. Established the characters I liked playing.
Remember how at the start it was only like, Asuka Jin Paul Law and like Kazuya? Everyone else you had RNG for at random 🤣 I wanted to play Jin but got Miguel and DJin. So that's who I picked up at the time. *Asuka main*
Great Game. Saved Tekken. Was basically an online exclusive of a modern day Tekken Game Cabinet. Found some at a place called Round 1 in the states, Mi. Not play to win. Was win to play 🤣🤣🤣
I definitely put money into it for sure. Even death matched people in Ranked mode. Remember losing like 10 of my gold coins to this absurd, to me at the time, Bryan player in the sick battle armor with the scope. Stage was ranning. I was ragging but it was beautiful.
TMM you didn't even mention the blood carnival, which I get because you're specifically talking Revolution, which introduced Elisa. The SS tier of Revolution 🤣🤣🤣 And her 3 crit combo. And her 43 moves to work with lmao
Bring the game back, the beginners loved it and I care about the community but the game was hell on earth 😂😂
This game was active by the time I left Tekken after TTT2.
I literally skip it, and I never heard of it until I saw it on Tekken 7.
Don't really like how the game works, but atleast it had good soundtracks, and sometimes I put them in some T7 stages Thanks to the jukebox
6:41 The break window for most grabs (whether command grabs or default grabs) is the same (20 frames).
Tag 2 still my favourite tbh
The skill points sucked. Hackers were abundant. Was still ok
I vaguely remember watching videos of people on YT who had 999999 in health, power, etc. Save editors must have been running wild lol.
The biggest mistake about tag2 is that it was not released on PC. Specially when the PC gaming market was getting even bigger with titles like Skyrim coming out that year. What a huge waste.
I like how TMM probably didn't notice that he played against a RUclipsr called "Shirakko", still really miss this game, want to play it again, but it was barely free to play like for example, CS:GO is nowadays, to play all modes you have to buy Prime status for 14 Euros to get access to all game modes
Literally all I played for 2 summers straight
I like the cel shading and no bound/screw extension aspects of Revolution
If Tag 2 were to have a re-release but with balancing patches similar to T7, would that change your mind about the game?
Tag 2: you can't defeat me
Revolution: no. But he can
*Tekken 7 bursts in*
cool stuff
I liked the game despite having to wait for my online tokens, we needed to start learning combos without bounces and those or at least some of them works till this day, also the hackers hahaha so many unplugs because parrying their overpowered moves, i kinda miss those days
Good video here MainMan! I myself was also thinking of breaking down Tekken Revolution at some point in future even though you've covered most of it here. A short-lived game of Tekken on Steroids I'd say XD My wallet greatly funded for Tekken 7 through this game lmao
I'll looking forward to it X! I love your Tekken Revolution videos!
Both TR and Tag 2 had issues that kept them from 1 upping each other.
I remember just doing king chain throws and deleting the opponents health.
The critical hit aspect (vigor) was itself made redundant considering you could put your coins onto Power, and it would make every attack stronger ALL of the time, rather then just your key moves stronger SOME of the time.
Honestly it still looks better than 7 and has a better step
More people probably would cared about Revolution if it wasn’t only on PS3, also Tag 2 despite having problems with rage combos was still more fun than Revolution imo.
HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah, tell that to yourself
I definitely agree with the first half
Tag 2 was fun but those long combos were getting stale fast and felt like that was the only way to win. A real shame.
i LOVED Tekken Revolution Music!! The best music in tekken history
I learnt how to punish blocked big lows using delayed hopkick on Tekken Revolution because every Law player in this game did go for Dragon Tail every 5 seconds.
I’d like a separate unranked online mode with the RPG levels in Tekken 7
The critical move was not the bad part. The fighting someone with double damage on every move they do was
3:41 how do you manage to do dss but you can't punish kazuya's d/f+2
Yo don't forget the fact there was a meme for this game and now it just no longer exists for some odd reason it was a meme where if the bf lose the gf gets to go through his phone and it showed a Lars doing an insane comeback but me & my uncle can't find it on RUclips or on any of the social media plats
At least I managed to get the Platinum, days before it got cancelled ...
i loved TR. its how i found TMM, and its what got me into tekken beyond a casual level.
Unpopular opinion: I like tag 2. 😭😭 I think it's a fun game. But I also started off with Tag 1 and then played 4,5,6 and 7. I just like Tag 2
The gears have spun.
Why all the hate against tag 2? For me was one of the best tekken not only for the decal customization but also for the combos you could do
People just love to hate man
I love it too, ppl have different taste, I suppose. But ttt2 it's my favourite.
I loved it in its own right and it honestly felt like it helped me grow into a better player. Yet I'm definitely relieved this system wasn't used to replace the traditional.
I honestly miss Tekken Revolution despite everything going against it.
And don't forget the hackers with 1 hit KOs and infinite health
Look, I know it wasn't the best of the Tekken games, but it got me back into it and I'll always appreciate it for that.
I HOPE YOU ARE ALSO DOING AWESOME MAINMAN!!! 🥊💀❤️
This is actually a fairly good resource on this sorta obscure game
0:28-0:53 Man, this digital-only, online-only world sure is great! No physical copy that you can own forever and the game can be removed and rendered unplayable at any time, meaning people who never got to experience the game in its heyday (like I dunno... me maybe? Haha) never will! What a glorious age we live in. Do you think we will ever get a console where every single game, even single players ones, are server side only? That'd be the dream!
IIRC in this game if your opponent disconnected, you still got a win.
