I like how there's only 20 seconds for Devil Jin, with the best summarization for a character: *"It's Devil Jin"*

[penguinmaster]

I really wish these videos were longer. Not because of any lacking info or anything, I just want more of it.

[randodox]

"It's devil jin"

Understandable, have a nice day.

Story time that I think all Tekken fans will appreciate, and many will share in:

I started with Tekken 2. When I first played the amazing T3, learned the lore, and why my favorites -- Kaz and Jun were gone, obv Jin became my fav. And his ending with the first Devil Jin sighting was incredible. Tag came out and it ruled. Then 4 came out. I LOVE T4. Kazuya was back and that intro of him soloing the Mishima army still gives me chills. But T4 notably had no supernatural elements, until, again, you made it to the Mishima endings. And the canonical ending gave you another taste of Devil Jin. But you couldnt play him OR Devil Kaz.

I didn't pick up T5 day one. I was a teen to a single mom of 3. So Tekken left my mind for a couple years. Then one day, I finally got my hands on it at a friend's, watched the epic intro, then went into character select and saw Devil Jin. I put my controller down and my jaw dropped. While I still play Kaz over DJ, very, VERY few moments in gaming ever paid off as well as that moment I first selected Devil Jin and fought my buddy's Paul.

Another honorable mention: The Tekken 5 stages and OST. They were incredible and still remain the best overall to this day.

And then there's moonlit wilderness. Which simply outclasses every single other stage and OST in the game.

[MUGENanaya]

That intro song threw me off guard, then I remembered.

[porcudini]

As a side note, I'd like to add that this game had the absolutely most lit intro ever. Props to TBS for the message at the end of the video: those who cry about T7 balance probably don't know how lucky they actually are. Great job as always.

[mkhl]

Thanks! From someone in Hong Kong who used to frequent Goodge Street back in Tag 1 days.

I can't begin to tell you how much I love tekken 5, it was one of the first fighting game that made me realize "fighting games are fucking cool" when I was like 7 years old. Love the videos as always, keep up the good content

[Bager_RBN]

I like how "... it's Devil Jin" is a sufficient explanation as to why he's one of the best characters.

[melvinshine]

I love how he's like, "Oh, look, Devil Jin's top 5. Shocking. Moving on."
What's interesting to me about this game is how it brought back or introduced a new "version" of every character who hadn't had a canon appearance since Tekken 2, except Armor King and Kunimitsu. Wang, Bruce, Ganryu, and Baek came back, while they introduced a new Roger, a new Kazama style fighter, and a Mishima with lasers. Considering we got a new Armor King in T6, another canon Kuni was kind of overdue in a way.

[hauuah]

The last game where we actually had to beat the game to unlock characters. That was such a big part of the excitement of fighting games back in the day and now thanks to online we have everything gifted to us from the start and that takes away so much of the excitement of the game

[MalikTheRonin]

My first Tekken game...I actually still own my older brother’s copy of the game 😆 Gonna have to revisit it after watching this.

[HQRubbish]

T5.0 Steve can't hurt me, I'm mostly dead inside already.

[freakinsweet]

These are legit outstanding. I hope you keep going til we catch the franchise up.

[evanhanley]

My favourite Tekken game of all time. This was the game that got me into the series. I still play it to this day. That soundtrack is still godly. I think this game is perfect. So much content to keep you playing for a very long time. It is definitely one of my favourite fighting games of all time.

[JunKazamaFan]

Bryan went from the "Most Overrated" in Tag 1 and 4 to finally reaching the Top 5 in Tekken 5. Doctor Bosconovitch's perpetual generator pays immediate dividends!
Meanwhile, Lei had the biggest fall from grace.

[foreveruseless]

I still get so hype whenever I here sparking, love it

[DMatt]

As a Tekken newcomer I have to say these videos are exceptionally informative and interesting. I love seeing how the series progressed into what it is now.

Excellent work, as always.

[radicalcat]

I've gotta say, I absolutely love your content. I've been watching all of your KI guides and most if not all of your TEKKEN 7 guides. And I cannot stress enough how much better I've gotten at matchups. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these videos <3
