The PS2 version does have differences to the arcade gameplay wise. Some combos do/don't work between versions and Armor King's infinite back grab for time outs was removed for the console.
In addition to A.King's "handcuffs" being removed, Kunimitsu's Kunai had it's length shortened, making db2 not hit grounded opponents anymore and making her ffn2 worse in the PS2 version.
The outfit rant is not irrelevant. It's incredibly important when you look at the ridiculous custom outfits these days.. and yes people really wore cool stuff like that in the late 90s
Ngl u embodied what every gen z person who wishes they could of experienced those arcade glory days w vid this will probs stick wit me for a minute great video completely conveys why tekken and tag specifically are the glory days of tekken I hope we get anotha tag game hopefully RIP AMERICAN ARCADES
As an old man who been playing Tekken since the launch of Tekken 2, super cool that a fresh face also appreciates original Tag. I love the Ling stage song so much. Also great writing/delivery on the video. It just kept getting better bringing up Project X Zone? Daaaamn.
I’m so glad an OG Tekken player was able to find enjoyment in my video! And thank you for the compliments on the aspects of the video itself, it means a lot! 🙏🏼
Man I remember being in 5th grade back in like '00 or '01 sitting in class with Eddy's stage theme stuck in my head on repeat litterly staring at the clock counting down the hours that I could go home and play TEKKEN TAG!!! Now that's nostalgia but it feels like yesterday....WOW!
Yep I also liked how you pointed out the grass texture on Eddy's stage because yes can tell you in real time that was actually a big deal at that time lol!
Tekken tag was one my first ps2 games back in 2002. Watching this video really brought back the nostalgia that I hold dear to my heart. playing against my older brothers at the time was some of the best memories of my life.
Some of my fondest memories as an 11 year old was having enough quarters to go a few rounds in TTT at the movie theater. This game scratched an itch that no other fighter could at the time.
Everyone theme in this game was lit and it’s back when Jin was likeable and the combo moves and the rivalry’s who would fight after you won or hit continue 😂
This is one of the few games in the series I’ve never played and this video made me wanna try it, especially cause Tag 2 is one of my favs in the series so. Also liked your minimalist style of editing, keep it it up :)
So the story of this game is basically this: So there's this JoJos stand that somehow just exists. The stand posesses people and grows limbs by absorbing it's user. The stand's user manages to give the stand stomach cancer and explodes it from the inside creating a jumbo size serving of spaghetti. Man this series is wild.
There are very few people around who played this game in the arcades when the competitive scene was first starting to take root. To those people, this will always be the best Tekken game.
Dope. Going from having to play /practice at home on Tekken 3 for PS1 to TTT on the PS2 was just, magical. I can't express or even begin to explain how big of a deal this was on so many levels for a Tekken player at the time, you young ass scrubs just had to have been there. You did an amazing job breaking it down & looking back at TTT homie, loved the writting & editing work too. 11:20 funny as hell😂 👿Good shit 🤜🤛🤝
Tekken Tag 1 was my first fighting game along with KOF 02 UM ever, I know it’s not a perfect fighting game but I have fond memories of playing it along with the time I spent with my uncle who bought me the games, it was such a great game and I think it still is to this day.
I will love to see Jack in the newest Tekken video game, but in the meanwhile, I will love to see a mod to have Jack, to be modded to be krang from Ninja turtles.
Dope video dude. You're a lot of fun to watch. That Sakura video sounds like it would be great. Hope you cover some Parasite Eve cinematics in that next video.
Hey great work keep it up! You earned my sub fr. I'm excited to see your next video as well as watch the past couple you have made. I'll keep my eyes peeled in the future for a Patreon page, seriously this is great content and it would be a shame to see die.
I would have tekken tag tournament 1 as my favorite tekken out of all tekkens the way kunimitsu and Bruce and tiger looks amazing and tekken 5 & 4 afterward then tekken 3
i just love the vibe of old tekken like t3, tag 1 and t4. it didnt go too over the top and didnt try too hard to be cool like how it seems in tekken 5 onwards. there was a unique kind of soul that is just so comfy looking back on it and i wish it was present in the newer games but nah
Agreed, the aesthetics were more defined and I feel like there was more effort put in the non gameplay areas of the games. T7 has my favorite gameplay in the series for sure, but personally nothing comes close to the cozy vibe Tekken 4 gives off with it’s unique announcer, pastel color palette, ambient stages and music, drippy character design, and much more mature story. Oh shit I’m rambling, thank you for watching!
@@JuiceboxJoints dont worry about the rambling, i feel the exact same way as you! watching this video and seeing tag 1 made me feel a bit more iffy about tekken 7 despite it's solid gameplay just because the vibe feels more... esports-y (with the HYPE EDM music and FLAMING MATCH INTROES and DRAMATIC CRAZY LAVA STAGES) rather than something that's more defined as you said, which sadly feels less mature
Thank God there are people like you out there speaking the truth. I hate all the fans who just accept all the shit the developers have been giving us since Tekken 5. Tekken used to actually be cool, now it's just embarrassing...I still play but I long for Tekken 1 to Tekken 4 vibe
This video has so much depth! I really appreciate all this detailed info. I'm def gonna pay it a revisit. Think I'll fire up Tekken Tag on the PS3 soon 😎👍
Thanks for the reply. I'd love to see you cover Soul Edge and Tekken 4, since you prefer 3D fighters. I spent shitloads of time on both of those. I love Soul Calibur 1 and 2, but couldn't get into 3, and only casually played SC4. 5 was trash, and 6 just feels incomplete and has wack dlc characters, except for Hwang.... who was too little; Too late. I just wanted Lizardman to make it in! I'm sure you'll take off organically with more content, please keep it comin.
Tekken 4 is actually my favorite fighting game of all time, so I plan on making a video on that one wayyyy later in the future once I believe I could make it the best Tekken 4 video on RUclips. I do plan on doing Soul Edge tho! Also, thanks for believing in me. Your words are appreciated. 🙏🏼
@JuiceboxJoints - 👊😎.... love Tekken 4! Played a bootleg of the import, hardcore until the U.S. version finally dropped.... used to have to wait like a year for a U.S. fighter to make it over from Japan! That T4 Force mode + the main game's wall mechanics both need to make a return in T8, but I'm not holding my breath. T8 looks like a mixed bag, so far. I've played every Tekken in arcades, up until T5... after that, newer cabs were rare in my area. I did see T6 in an arcade here once. Didn't play it, tho. Too bad more younger dudes aren't as open-minded about classic fighters as you are.... props on having some taste yo 👍!
As others have said, it's cool to see a youngin who can see that the earlier Tekkens were way cooler in vibe and aesthetic, music, etc. I'm 34, been playing since Tekken 2. Back in the 90s, I viewed Tekken as the coolest thing. Shit started going downhill with Tekken 5 for me, though...that Sparking! song was the beginning of the end.
devil was one of my favorite characters in this game but also what made my crazy religious family steal all my tekken games and throw them out which made me sad
tekken tag(the arcade version, not ps) is my favorite tekken game. i play at the highest difficulty setting. the computer pretty much either ducks or cancels every throw you attempt......but sometimes you can catch it...... my team is lei, sometimes with law, sometimes with xiaoyu, sometimes with heihachi..... sometimes i choose random characters just for fun...... i discovered something interesting if you choose angel and kazuya, the machine automatically changes angel to devil. if you choose xiaoyu in her schoolgirl uniform, she will never perform her winning pose where she stands on her hands. i usually dont do fancy stuff with tagging. there are some sick combos with law and paul. back in the day at the arcade i tried to learn them.....but as damaging as they were, my usual style with lei and law(which were my goto characters at the time) was more effective. i tried not to use rave spin. maybe once per fight.....because it's kind of a cheap move. i did try to use all animal forms. during that time i didnt just play. i studied the game. i knew frame data on every lei move. that gave me a nice edge against people who didnt study. awsome times....there was a julia player who had sick reflexes.......it was almost impossible to defeat him. fighting against him improved my overall style quite a lot.
@@JuiceboxJoints if you get the arcade version, it's insane how many levels of difficulty there are: easy medium hard very hard ultra hard ultra hard1 ultra hard2 super hard ex super hard i can beat the game in super hard. in ex super hard i more often than not lose. and once i lose i dont continue.....that's my personal rule for fighting games.
Tekken Tag 1 was an upgrade to 3 much like how Dark Resurrection was an upgrade to 5. if only the latter got a graphical upgrade and a physical release when it came out on PS3.
2:10 the comparison clips are a bit misleading because you took clips from the HD remaster which came out years later. The game did not originally have widescreen support, or hd support
Oh shit, I can’t believe I didn’t notice that I used the HD clips instead of the proper PS2 ones for that comparison. The ones right after that are from the PS2 tho, but I do apologize for being misleading. Thanks for pointing it out.
Im a zoomer as well, i got my ps2 around 2006/2007, and tag was one of the games that came with the ps2, and i played the shit out of it. Best tekken of al time
I'm honestly curious how old you are bro. I was like, 5 when Tag came out. I played the arcade version a few times as a kid and was fucking trash. I still am but I was back then too. Still wonder if I should cop a copy on ebay.
Yo I just barley turned 20. That’s awesome you got to experience the arcade version! It’s alright man, I’m super ass at fighting games in general, but I still think there’s fun to be had casually, and other aspects of the game to be appreciated. It’s up to you. 👍🏼
I remember hiring the game at blockbuster and at the time I hadn’t got a ps2 yet, I still had a ps1 nonetheless eventually getting the game it was so good just after TEKKEN 3, and coming into the age of PS2. It’s a refined version of all the TEKKEN games that come out, I need to get it on PS3 ASAP and play the HD version I haven’t played since the 2000s, with my cousins for days it was great and the classic unlocking characters 🤌🏽🤌🏽
Mind Boggle Arcade was where i spent A LOT of quarters crowding that Tag 1 machine regularly with 15 other heads....surrounding us was Initial D 2, Pump It Up Premier 3, SF3 3rd Strike, San Francisco Rush 2049 p2p, CVS2, MVC2 2 cabinets, SC1, Silent Scope, Tekken 4, KOF 97, SamSho 3, SF2CE.....waaaay better hang out spot than this online shit
@@JuiceboxJoints it WAS!!!! 2003 Eastland Mall Charlotte, NC prime time!!! I met this fine ass Dominican chick there....she played Tag 1....her tag was Jin and Jun....she was nasty....drove a white Acura Integra 5spd....last spoken to her in 2004....Arcade was shutdown that same year.....if i can find some video of that arcade i will post a link here....JWong came thru for a tournament there earlier in that year.....
Let's keep it real. TTT is better than ANY of the new Tekkens. Tekken is been trash post T5. All the marketing, forced hype and tourneys in the world not going to change that. BTW none of the current tekken music is on the level of Tekken 2,3 or TTT.
One of my most played PS2 games of all time. I love Tekken Tag Tournament. I played the arcade version religiously at my local Peter Piper Pizza back in the early 2000s. My cousin had a PS2 he had this game, MGS2, and Twisted Metal Black. Good times.
I played the arcade version alot, as well 👍. I played it at a Kroger by my cousin, at a 2 story mall, & even at a shitty goth club! I rented a Japanese PS2 and Tekken Tag from a somewhat local import shop so I could play this game early 👊. Not sure if people are aware, but the U.S. version got some AA applied to fix the nasty jaggies on characters in the Japanese version! Little shit like that really impressed me, that the devs would take the time to FURTHER enhance the game! Been playin Tekken since T2 in arcades. I couldn't get into T1... it was trash. King is my main.... always has been. I play a shitload of characters, tho. As weaksauce as Tekken 7 is, it still ended up alot better than Soul Calibur 6.
good video but damn, you failed to mention the iconic intro. i used to watch it over and over, and it prompted my obsession with the game. very stylish shit.
I actually had written an entire section dedicated to it, but I cut it since I felt like the video was getting way too long. Looking back, I should’ve at least mentioned it since I agree, that shit is iconic and absolutely amazing. I’m sorry to disappoint, but I’m glad you enjoyed the rest of the video.
This was extremely well written! For somebody who wasn't even there you describe the game like it just came out. Except without the whining. Does this old (ish) man's heart good. 😌
I was 13 when I played TTT on the PS2 and let me tell you, this game was the PlayStation's way of saying welcome to the next gen of consoles! I absolutely loved this game. I used to play with my older brother and his friends who are now in their 50s and we still reminisce about it. Thank you for this video its so touching to see a the young blood appreciate this game. And this video gets an instant like because of the Julia appreciation. Coming from a Julia main, you are a man of culture. Keep these videos coming you got something special. Also yes people did dress like king( no jaguar mask) and eddy in the 90s!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts man, I appreciate it! I see you with the Yoshimitsu Tekken 4 pfp! Oh and when I did that corny joke “idk if people wore shit like this in the 90’s”, I meant Yoshi’s funky suit lmaoo
Fun lookback at a childhood favorite lol, this game is definitely among the elites when it comes to 3D fighters, and still a blast to play (and cheese) today. Also, sorry to hear about the scrapped video, I could tell you were very passionate about putting it together, but I definitely understand where you were coming from when it came to giving it a rest, there's no shame in it! Looking forward to future vids, dawg!!
My bro thank you for watching! I’m glad you agree this game has aged extremely well. Oh and your help with that video was extremely appreciated. Would love to collab on anything else in the future! 👊🏼

God dammit, tekken deserves all the love in the world man.
The pinnacle of game design fr
@JuiceboxJoints - I'm still hoping we can get a proper Tekken Force Mode that's worthy of Tekken 4's. I played SO much T4 on PS2.
Ngl u embodied what every gen z person who wishes they could of experienced those arcade glory days w vid this will probs stick wit me for a minute great video completely conveys why tekken and tag specifically are the glory days of tekken I hope we get anotha tag game hopefully RIP AMERICAN ARCADES
I'm a Gen Z and I played Tekken Tag in the arcade, I also played Tekken 3.
The game that made me fall in love with this franchise... Unforgettable !!
As an old man who been playing Tekken since the launch of Tekken 2, super cool that a fresh face also appreciates original Tag.
I love the Ling stage song so much.
Also great writing/delivery on the video. It just kept getting better bringing up Project X Zone? Daaaamn.
I’m so glad an OG Tekken player was able to find enjoyment in my video!
And thank you for the compliments on the aspects of the video itself, it means a lot! 🙏🏼
Ayyye I've been playing since 2 also lol
Man I remember being in 5th grade back in like '00 or '01 sitting in class with Eddy's stage theme stuck in my head on repeat litterly staring at the clock counting down the hours that I could go home and play TEKKEN TAG!!! Now that's nostalgia but it feels like yesterday....WOW!
It’s so addicting, I spent an entire hour zoning out just listening to it on repeat lmao.
Yep I also liked how you pointed out the grass texture on Eddy's stage because yes can tell you in real time that was actually a big deal at that time lol!
Tekken tag was one my first ps2 games back in 2002. Watching this video really brought back the nostalgia that I hold dear to my heart. playing against my older brothers at the time was some of the best memories of my life.
This might be my favorite rundown of Tag 1. Nice work.
I feel the same way. As a Millennial who's still keeping up with the times, i find it interesting like to see Gen Z dive into our generation
Some of my fondest memories as an 11 year old was having enough quarters to go a few rounds in TTT at the movie theater. This game scratched an itch that no other fighter could at the time.
Hehe same for me at the mall and I was the same age
Another banger from the juice man. I loved this game, and would really like to see some others as how up in T8 from this....mainly Alex!
Yes dude. I want Alex and Wang to come back.
Everyone theme in this game was lit and it’s back when Jin was likeable and the combo moves and the rivalry’s who would fight after you won or hit continue 😂
This is one of the few games in the series I’ve never played and this video made me wanna try it, especially cause Tag 2 is one of my favs in the series so. Also liked your minimalist style of editing, keep it it up :)
Tag 2 is such a good feel game, I love it. And thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Devil was a gene since Tekken 2.. albeit a gene that connects someone to an archonic/devil force.
No lie, this game had some of the best OSTs in a Tekken game.
So the story of this game is basically this:
So there's this JoJos stand that somehow just exists. The stand posesses people and grows limbs by absorbing it's user. The stand's user manages to give the stand stomach cancer and explodes it from the inside creating a jumbo size serving of spaghetti.
Man this series is wild.
Baek doo San in tekken tag tournament 1 the best looking baek to me that was when he was young
But I wish tekken tag tournament was canon
He’s also young in Tekken 2!
“Everyone besides the michima’s are a joke nowadays”
Sadly your not wrong.
What trip down memory lane Tekken Tag Tournnament was my first Tekken game this was an awesome deep dive
There are very few people around who played this game in the arcades when the competitive scene was first starting to take root. To those people, this will always be the best Tekken game.
I love how you edit bro. Keep it up
Thank you!
I cannot imagine this dude raging when playing, that's how chill he seems
Dope.
Going from having to play /practice at home on Tekken 3 for PS1 to TTT on the PS2 was just, magical. I can't express or even begin to explain how big of a deal this was on so many levels for a Tekken player at the time, you young ass scrubs just had to have been there.
You did an amazing job breaking it down & looking back at TTT homie, loved the writting & editing work too. 11:20 funny as hell😂
👿Good shit 🤜🤛🤝
Thank you so much dawg! I’m glad that you approve! 🫡
As a tekken old head thanks for this video. Its important to remember the history
Yessir 🙏🏼
Yeah, this video fye, subscribed.
Tekken Tag 1 was my first fighting game along with KOF 02 UM ever, I know it’s not a perfect fighting game but I have fond memories of playing it along with the time I spent with my uncle who bought me the games, it was such a great game and I think it still is to this day.
Sweet memories.
Banger video mate! Never realized how good Tag 1 music is.
Check out the arcade soundtrack too!
Great video mane I fucking love Tag 1, for all that it is. Can't wait to see the new videos man.
I will love to see Jack in the newest Tekken video game, but in the meanwhile, I will love to see a mod to have Jack, to be modded to be krang from Ninja turtles.
Entertaining video. 14:24 - 14:34 Hilarious. Hope to see more of these.
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏼
I still listen to the tekken tag soundtrack for working out or in the shower
Same. Eddy’s and Xiaoyu’s theme gives me that energy.
Dope video dude. You're a lot of fun to watch. That Sakura video sounds like it would be great. Hope you cover some Parasite Eve cinematics in that next video.
Thank you! That means a lot to me!
And of course, you already know the opera scene is a must!

The ps1 version was actually in development but the ps1 couldn't handle switching 4 fighters without loading, so the game moved to ps2
These early PS2 games have a swag of their own
Ikr they’re so cozy

Wait wtf she’s in Brawlhalla? I was too dookie at 2D fighters to make it lmao.

Another Juicebox banger..............
Thank you for the support Mr. WinQuote 🙏🏼
One of the best fighting games of all time
tekken tag(the arcade version, not ps) is my favorite tekken game.
i play at the highest difficulty setting.
the computer pretty much either ducks or cancels every throw you attempt......but sometimes you can catch it......
my team is lei, sometimes with law, sometimes with xiaoyu, sometimes with heihachi.....
sometimes i choose random characters just for fun......
i discovered something interesting
if you choose angel and kazuya, the machine automatically changes angel to devil.
if you choose xiaoyu in her schoolgirl uniform, she will never perform her winning pose where she stands on her hands.
i usually dont do fancy stuff with tagging. there are some sick combos with law and paul. back in the day at the arcade i tried to learn them.....but as damaging as they were, my usual style with lei and law(which were my goto characters at the time) was more effective.
i tried not to use rave spin. maybe once per fight.....because it's kind of a cheap move. i did try to use all animal forms.
during that time i didnt just play. i studied the game. i knew frame data on every lei move. that gave me a nice edge against people who didnt study.
awsome times....there was a julia player who had sick reflexes.......it was almost impossible to defeat him. fighting against him improved my overall style quite a lot.
Interesting stuff man, thank you for sharing! I’m glad someone else pointed out how nutty the CPU is in this game lmao…absolutely brutal.
@@JuiceboxJoints
if you get the arcade version, it's insane how many levels of difficulty there are:
easy
medium
hard
very hard
ultra hard
ultra hard1
ultra hard2
super hard
ex super hard
i can beat the game in super hard.
in ex super hard i more often than not lose.
and once i lose i dont continue.....that's my personal rule for fighting games.
NO EYES NO EARS NO NOSE NO HAM
NO LETTUCE NO CHEESE NO TOMATOES NO BREAD

Tekken tag was my last tekken game ... I played the bowling more then fighting
One of the best Tekken game for sure
Facts, makes me sad nobody looks into this game as much.
Games insane gold
Namco needs to put this, 5DR, and SCII on Steam and current gen consoles with GGPO netplay.
Man I hope you do a Tekken 4 retrospective
That’s my favorite fg of all time, so one day for sure.
Im a zoomer as well, i got my ps2 around 2006/2007, and tag was one of the games that came with the ps2, and i played the shit out of it. Best tekken of al time
So easy to pick up, and infinite replay ability. Hell yea man, thank you for watching!
Tekken 4 here. Tt was cool too
Damn i love ttt!!!
Ok this nigga funny
I'm honestly curious how old you are bro. I was like, 5 when Tag came out. I played the arcade version a few times as a kid and was fucking trash. I still am but I was back then too. Still wonder if I should cop a copy on ebay.
Yo I just barley turned 20. That’s awesome you got to experience the arcade version!
It’s alright man, I’m super ass at fighting games in general, but I still think there’s fun to be had casually, and other aspects of the game to be appreciated.
It’s up to you. 👍🏼
Liked and Subcribed great video
Appreciate it!
Keep it up compa
algorithm been blessing lately
🙏🏼
At 24:22, you said *bleep* Tekken what now? 😮😂
Ridn round wit a badass bch, she a dime
We ain't got time
Great vid! I might be wrong but I think Anna is better than Nina in 5 dr specifically
I believe you’re right!
LOVE THIS VIDEO!
I remember hiring the game at blockbuster and at the time I hadn’t got a ps2 yet, I still had a ps1 nonetheless eventually getting the game it was so good just after TEKKEN 3, and coming into the age of PS2. It’s a refined version of all the TEKKEN games that come out, I need to get it on PS3 ASAP and play the HD version I haven’t played since the 2000s, with my cousins for days it was great and the classic unlocking characters 🤌🏽🤌🏽
Hell yea! You’ll be surprised at how good it feels to play all these years later.
Jun at a Waffle House, quite the mood.
Yupp
honestly to me Tekken 1-5 and Tag 1&2 are amazing and better then Tekken 6,7 and 8
Mind Boggle Arcade was where i spent A LOT of quarters crowding that Tag 1 machine regularly with 15 other heads....surrounding us was Initial D 2, Pump It Up Premier 3, SF3 3rd Strike, San Francisco Rush 2049 p2p, CVS2, MVC2 2 cabinets, SC1, Silent Scope, Tekken 4, KOF 97, SamSho 3, SF2CE.....waaaay better hang out spot than this online shit
Damnnn that sounds heavenly bruh
@@JuiceboxJoints it WAS!!!! 2003 Eastland Mall Charlotte, NC prime time!!! I met this fine ass Dominican chick there....she played Tag 1....her tag was Jin and Jun....she was nasty....drove a white Acura Integra 5spd....last spoken to her in 2004....Arcade was shutdown that same year.....if i can find some video of that arcade i will post a link here....JWong came thru for a tournament there earlier in that year.....
I know about a boomer what the f*** is a zoomer
10:40
Shout outs to Kenbou one of STL/Japan's finest!
Fantastic player
Combos are not easier by any means and yes throes are better in this game. They nerfed it for you kids. I would love to see the OGs in the US vs Peru.
Whatever you say old man
@@JuiceboxJoints 😆
Let's keep it real. TTT is better than ANY of the new Tekkens. Tekken is been trash post T5. All the marketing, forced hype and tourneys in the world not going to change that. BTW none of the current tekken music is on the level of Tekken 2,3 or TTT.
One of my most played PS2 games of all time. I love Tekken Tag Tournament. I played the arcade version religiously at my local Peter Piper Pizza back in the early 2000s. My cousin had a PS2 he had this game, MGS2, and Twisted Metal Black. Good times.
I’m jealous you got to experience the actual arcade hardware, and yea the PS2 is still the goat console 23 years later 😭
Thank you for sharing bro!
I played the arcade version alot, as well 👍. I played it at a Kroger by my cousin, at a 2 story mall, & even at a shitty goth club! I rented a Japanese PS2 and Tekken Tag from a somewhat local import shop so I could play this game early 👊. Not sure if people are aware, but the U.S. version got some AA applied to fix the nasty jaggies on characters in the Japanese version! Little shit like that really impressed me, that the devs would take the time to FURTHER enhance the game! Been playin Tekken since T2 in arcades. I couldn't get into T1... it was trash. King is my main.... always has been. I play a shitload of characters, tho. As weaksauce as Tekken 7 is, it still ended up alot better than Soul Calibur 6.
I was the same man my laundry place had an arcade of this and i played it all the time
Peter Piper Pizza… wow I haven’t heard that in a long long time lol
good video but damn, you failed to mention the iconic intro. i used to watch it over and over, and it prompted my obsession with the game. very stylish shit.
I actually had written an entire section dedicated to it, but I cut it since I felt like the video was getting way too long.
Looking back, I should’ve at least mentioned it since I agree, that shit is iconic and absolutely amazing.
I’m sorry to disappoint, but I’m glad you enjoyed the rest of the video.
@JuiceboxJoints The video was awesome. I wasn't disappointed just being picky. Much love!
This was extremely well written! For somebody who wasn't even there you describe the game like it just came out. Except without the whining. Does this old (ish) man's heart good. 😌
Thank you very much sir! I’m happy I was able to do it justice 🙏🏼
Yeah that's all you can say but you clearly not saying anything on the skill, music and the presentation to play, because you can't.
@@Peter-the-Angry Bruh, who Infinite juggled you? Don't hate, just celebrate.
Haven't played none of the TTTs, so this vid was very informative and entertaining to me. Keep it up, would love to see more essays from you, big guy
It makes me very happy to hear that…thank you!
I was 13 when I played TTT on the PS2 and let me tell you, this game was the PlayStation's way of saying welcome to the next gen of consoles!
I absolutely loved this game. I used to play with my older brother and his friends who are now in their 50s and we still reminisce about it.
Thank you for this video its so touching to see a the young blood appreciate this game.
And this video gets an instant like because of the Julia appreciation.
Coming from a Julia main, you are a man of culture.
Keep these videos coming you got something special.
Also yes people did dress like king( no jaguar mask) and eddy in the 90s!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts man, I appreciate it! I see you with the Yoshimitsu Tekken 4 pfp!
Oh and when I did that corny joke “idk if people wore shit like this in the 90’s”, I meant Yoshi’s funky suit lmaoo
Fun lookback at a childhood favorite lol, this game is definitely among the elites when it comes to 3D fighters, and still a blast to play (and cheese) today. Also, sorry to hear about the scrapped video, I could tell you were very passionate about putting it together, but I definitely understand where you were coming from when it came to giving it a rest, there's no shame in it! Looking forward to future vids, dawg!!
My bro thank you for watching! I’m glad you agree this game has aged extremely well.
Oh and your help with that video was extremely appreciated. Would love to collab on anything else in the future! 👊🏼
