After what seems to be the longest delay yet due to me getting sick literally TWICE during work on the video, it's finally done! Almost a month after the last episode, I bring you the newest chapter in the Tekken saga, this time covering the game that ignited the love of many fans for the series, the third installment, the so-called "mother of all fighting games" in an episode that also doubles as a somewhat recap of the recent Netflix anime, Tekken Bloodline, that covers the story of this game.

Tekken 3 takes place nearly twenty years after the last installment, with a new setting entirely, new protagonist and a fresh cast of characters featuring newcomers and classic returnees, the mechanics of the game are polished beyond belief compared to its predecessors, and the story might just be at its best, let's take a deep dive, featuring the return of a dear old friend at the end of the video ;)

Thanks so much for waiting so patiently for this video, I hate making excuses as the last video itself was delayed too, but I got extremely sick twice while working on this video, not sure what's wrong with me I seriously need to get my immune system checked out lol but I'm all good now and I promise, new stuff, as always, is on the horizon. This video, despite the fact that I like the finished product, still has a number of flaws I had to simply accept (Like Neco Arc's moving around at the end, or the mic peaking A LOT cause it's old now) due to the rush of needing to put it out as quick as possible, as we're basically two days away from my last upload being a month ago lmao

But yeah, that's all, thanks for always sticking by, love ya bastards, I hope you enjoy the longest Tekken video yet, I promise I'll return to cover Tekken Tag Tournament next pretty soon, but first, I have a few videos I wanna work on before that, namely a video dedicated to a console from the 90s (Guess which one) and an episode of Obscure Game Thursdays, I hope I see ya when I drop those, bye now!
