Tekken

... So obviously this Leroy Smith, um, sorry, I had to do it as a video game show. Leroy Smith from is, what is he, he's in Tekken 8. Is he introduced in Tekken 8 or has he been around for a while Tekken 7. ...

my friend's house, 'cause he was older, and he had Soul Edge, oh, this is so cool, and then when Soul Calibur came out in arcade, and I was just like, what the, like, this is Tekken, but swords, and it's so good. - No, no, no, no, no. - And I couldn't move before it's over. ...

... Did you say, like, the news here, like some of this is like irresponsible reporting, because, but I think Dylan said, like while we were on break, did Harada-san leave Tekken? - Yeah, so this was just as of a couple of days ago, but I do see here, I'm quoting IGN, Wesley Yinpool, Tekken Development Chief, Kazuhiro Harada, announces Bandai Namco exit after 30 years. ...

him that he would sort of make these statements that, you know, it wasn't like he was like performing like a rock star, but like, he very much had like a rock star vibe to him. And he would get a lot of press, he would get a lot of attention. The thing I think about the most is, he had a sort of rivalry going on with Katsuhiro Harada over, you know, the creator of Tekken. ...

... I'll try this out. Oh, this game's kind of sweet. So generally good for the ecosystem. Yeah, Tekken 7 came out like the year prior to this. But like it got geese and it got Akuma and a lot of those players just hopped on Tekken 7. That game blew up. Right. And the first season of Tekken 7 is looked at as kind of a shrug for competitive Tekken play. But like, you know, as people sort of like talked a little garbage about Street Fighter, like Tekken has had already been like riding the ship and Tekken 7 was like…

... I was a skeptic and then I was around, when, what was it, Tekken Queen? Not Tekken Queen, what's-- - Tekken King, Tekken King. ...

The no-nonsense character like she's like really just like I'm gonna kill you for leaving that's what I'm doing that is literally my whole task here is to kill you which is yeah. Video games is it this or is it one of the Tekken video games where someone is like an unfrozen caveman that is dressed up in like military suits I'm trying to think of like what characters I played as in these video games I think the- Well that's not a detailed character that is defrosted caveman but I don't think that's the one you mean. ...

... So there's only so much Tylenol and Advil can do to a pulled muscle, but yeah, it was rough there for a few days. But that's really about it. I did buy Tekken 8, but I haven't been able to fucking play it. Yeah, because of my injury to my arm, this horrible injury that I had, the serial pouring injury, it's just been that kind of week. ...

... If I wanna go the fighting game route, I'd probably throw out Tekken, but there's only a few games really there that has really memorable Tekken music. ...

... Designer Hirofumi Kami, this was their first credit in any game, so why did they be? And also Takashi Satsukawa had previously worked on Tekken and Tekken 2 before working on this one. ...

... I think those games did the exact same thing. Tony Oaks for Skater 1, Tekken 3, those are games that kind of did numbers in magazines and really kind of, I think everybody owned a PlayStation had some relationship in one form or another with some of these kind of seminal titles for the PS1. ...

... So the Thursday night, you used to always go on Thursday nights with mates, play PlayStation games and all the usual classics. No battles on Tekken or races or whatever, but I was able to win them over with two games. ...
