  It&apos;s crazy how this game was unpopular at the time yet its contributions are missed in newer releases.

  &quot;Armor King was murdered.&quot;<br><br>If there was one line that set the tone, it was that one for me. I actually developed a personal grudge towards Marduk over it and King is my favorite character because of it.

  Tekken 4 basically combined the Y2K aesthetic with the early 2000&apos;s edge. Jin&apos;s ultra angsty personality originates here.

  The atmosphere, visual aesthetics, and sound design in this game were so unique. It’s not very story-based, but I think Tekken Tag 1’s atmosphere is worth talking about too. There’s something so spacey and ethereal about it. Sometimes comes off as melancholy and reflective with much of the visuals and music.

  I truly miss this era of tekken. You used to take these stories seriously. Tekken had a good story. Not by fighting game standards by video game standards. Now it’s jumped the shark so hard you couldn’t even come close to reaching this level of perfection.

  That Tekken 4 water to this day still just makes me look in awe, it&apos;s so gorgeous.

  another thing about Tekken 4 that I don&apos;t see a lot of people pointing out is that it&apos;s the only game in the series that allowed fighters to move around, crouch, and even enter stances <b>before</b> the fight would even begin. very experimental and underrated feature of the game that added to the uniqueness of the fighting &nbsp;experience

  Bringing back Kazuya was a great choice. I really love Jin&apos;s Costume. The hoodie is iconic!!!!! The story was a major part of this game
