What was everybody's first experience of Tekken B/E?

[TSB the thinker]

B/E= Beginning and the ending, well my first experience of Tekken was when I found an old Playstation videogame( Tekken 3) that could be determined if it worked or not on a Playstation  2, so it worked. The things that surprised me first was the primary grabbles (2+4 and 1+3), then the command list that have a variety of moves and I liked it and most of the characters I do like, but some characters somewhat never pass the 8th level (when I need more practice). Discovery of Heihachi in the 9th level, my first time seeing him with those cool electrifying limbs of his beating the blazes out of me! When I lost the 9th level, he stomps on the floor with his indignant and ire( with power!). As I defeated him, something evil, green, and huge was a creature/man named Ogre. Last, as I defeated Ogre, he changed his form by taking "Strong Old Man's" power to change into True Ogre, I defeated him and her comes dramatic character's endings in Tekken 3. And so on stop unlocking character's from T6 and other games. Now we have to do it all over again just like Tekken-T4, unlock characters (TR).

The first time i ever played Tekken i was 15 and the year was 1995. Someone brought round their Playstation to my house, me and my mates all played Tekken 1 for a few hours. The owner of the Playstation went to the shop, while he was gone me and my mates packed up his Playstation and went to stay at some other friends house for the weekend taking his Playstation and Tekken with us. All weekend we got drunk and played Tekken. Monday morning came, i returned the Playstation to its rightful (irate) owner.

But i had fallen in love with Tekken. Soon after i had my own Playstation, and i've been playing Tekken ever since.

Tekken 3 was my first ever game. Loved it ever since. Only started playing seriously since I got TTT2.

TTT2 was my first fighting game that I've ever taken seriously. I then went and bought T6 for dat campaign <3

My dad bought a PS1 when I was like 2 or 3 years old, a few years later, he told me how to use one and all the other stuff, after a few months he showed me a game called Tekken 2, Now after watching the opening trailer, I was amazed and could not wait to play it, After going through story with Paul, I kept getting beat by a character known as Kazuya, I then read about his story and I (he) looked badass,can never forget that suit. after that moment I spent an entire weekend trying to unlock him, when I did, I didn't have a memory card, so I could only play as him for a few hours. but ever since that moment, Kazuya is my favourite character, and always will be. I have been interested in the Mishimas from about the age of 6, and despite being called a tier whore online, those people don't know how long I have been playing tekken, and kazuya and Heihachi. There's my first Tekken experience.

Nowadays, Tekken produces characters like Bob, Lili, Zafina, and I just can't love the newer games like I did Tekken 2.

I heard of Tekken 2 but never played it, good thing I have Youtube on my side. Hey, how was your day?

[HakuryuVision]

First Tekken game i played was Tekken 2.
Wasn't a big fan of the plain looks, chunky controls, low framerate, ( i was used to the much faster SF:Alpha games and Third Strike, with better controls, fluid frames, and tons of different and cool characters). But i fell in love with Yoshimitsu, Kunimitsu, and Alex, so i kept playing. (+ ALL of my friends played Tekken, and they forced me to play with them. XD)

Same with Tekken 3, still not a big fan of it. (especially since they cut out 2 of my back then 3 favorit characters)
I started liking Heihachi in this one though. (i found a super easy 3 hit juggle that did 90+ damage, and spammed it against my friends XD)

Years later, a friend showed me Tekken 5, and the intro just BLEW MY MIND. The character designs and controls improved VASTLY, the music was hype, the intros/prologues of each character was done really well, the story was much more engaging than Tekken 2 and 3, big variety in endings (sad ones, funny ones, serious ones, etc), i could go on for hours. XD

My fave is TTT2 though. ; )
59 characters (all my favorites are in it), great music (and even if you don't like the music, you have the OPTION to set your own music), tons of great stages, great online modes, better balance, etc

So yeah, my first Tekken was 2, and it wasn't a good expirience. XDD

Very good experience, know the thinker must create another interesting thread that deals with the Tekken series.

[DevilSaturn]

As a kid, my brother would play Tekken and I'd sit there and watch, it intrigued me so much that I wanted to try playing it one day (around that time, I used him and my uncle to play video games to be entertained and my mom used to play it thus why it was there lol.) Around Tekken 2 when my mom bought it home, I decided I wanted to try.

Heihachi was the first char I tried due to the hair, dunno why but it was funny to me, around that time I had no idea how to use Yoshi, or anyone at that. Never tried the ewgf cause I didn't understand how it was to be performed, asked my brother and he told me......I was pretty much confused on how the heck was I to make sure to do that with the neutral. Although on some points had to replace ps controllers due to my brother slamming them on the ground and some buttons would be useless, most would be still in working condition with one of the shoulder buttons piece missing. XDD

Tekken 3, still slowly understanding it, trying out new chars, awed at the endings. Tekken 4, able to branch out into the arcade realm on easy mode, still somewhat not getting it and using whoever I felt comfy with. Tekken 5, new chars, awed at the sight of Devil Jin and finally figured out how to do ewgf but didn't know there was more of them to it. FML. Slow experience on my end cause where I'm at, we don't have much, Chicago was far to drive and I never thought of many things being there. So meh.

[HeartBreakJake95]

I know this is an old thread, but it's pretty interesting.

I first played Tekken 2 when I was little, before I was 10. I played it with my cousin, only using Devil because of his lasers.

After that, I wouldn't touch Tekken again until 5, in 2007 before moving from Illinois to Texas. I always wanted it after seeing trailers of it back in 2004, and seeing it in a magazine feature. I finally got it a few days before I moved.

My first character was Jin. At the time, it was different from other games I played. The only other fighting game I played was DBZ Budokai 3, which was pretty simple, but Tekken was different. I knew I needed skill to play, but I was content spamming. Eventually I got Dark Resurrection for PSP and got better at the game.

I got 6 for PSP, and got TTT2 on release day. Since I had Tag 2 I've been playing more seriously, and getting into other characters. Tekken's been one of my favorites for years.

That artist that made the T5 opening is called ''Stagger'' and I liked it too, actually Akitaka Tohyama made that and those Tekken Tag Openings and the last one was more electrifying more than meets the eye. Tekken music was my second experience, cool!
