It is the first major mix-up of fighters that we see, and it sets the stage for Tekken's familiar faces for years to come.
In Tekken 3 the roster starts to resemble that of today's games. It's hard enough to play this game in two dimensions, you add the third and it becomes a nightmare. 😅 Heck, I'm playing Tekken 7 ranked and nobody uses them there either. This coherence between titles is what makes Tekken the most legacy fighting game out there.Īnd yes, nobody used the 3D aspects of this game. While Tekken 3 doesn't have side-walking yet, it still has a plethora of moves that are still present in Tekken 7 (and probably 8). All the others - Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Smash - are 2D fighters. The complexity just ramps up substantially, and Tekken is the only 3D fighting franchise still active. It allows for tracking moves and side-steppable moves. towards the screen and further back from it.Īs you can imagine this adds an entirely different dimension to the game. You see, most fighting games are 2D, meaning you can go left-right, up-down, but not side-to-side, i.e. Tekken is a 3D fighting franchise, and that means more than you think if you aren't familiar with the fighting game genre. Let's discuss what made this installment in the franchise the thing that blew everything out of the water. But back then, when you were discovering something for the first time, it didn't matter. And yes, I was awful bad like 90% of Tekken players. I never owned a PlayStation 1, but I remember playing this game whenever I had the chance to, at neighbor's houses, at arcades, you name it. It is the game that introduced me to fighting games, a love I hold to this very day. I played Tekken 3 throughout my childhood. Several talented people worked on this soundtrack, including Hiroyuki Kawada, Nobuyoshi Sano, Keiichi Okabe, Yoshie Arakawa, Hideki Tobeta and Minamo Takahashi if that last statement doesn't make sense then you've clearly never played Tekken before All designed to get your blood pumping and ready to start a fight with the first bear you see.
Techno, trance, and melodic pieces are everywhere. And it all starts here, at least for public perception-wise. It's so bomb in fact people have played it at clubs and festivals for years. Tekken, as a franchise, is known to have the most bomb music out there. But for those that have actually played this gem back in the day, they would be scratching their head at the thought of criticizing it.Īnd so❗️ In this edition of Through the Lens 🎞, we'll be taking a look at BANDAI NAMCO's 3D fighting game hit from 1997: Tekken 3 Roll it! 📽 This is going to be a glowing piece, so not much if any criticism. Whenever we cover titles with such influence it's always fun to discover just what made them such hits to begin with. Today we're covering a game that made a franchise. 📢 WELCOME TO THE KING OF IRON FIST TOURNAMENT 📢
