Hello there! A few months ago I started a series where I said I would cover every single Tekken game in the series, and I intend to honor that! Which means, yes, I do plan to cover titles like Tekken Hybrid, Tekken Revolution, and more! But for today, we have Tekken Advance.

Tekken Advance is the first handheld Tekken game ever made, developed for the Game Boy Advance and released in late 2001, not long after Tekken 4 released on the PS2. It's basically a GBA-ified version of Tekken Tag Tournament that plays surprisingly well for how cramped the movelist of each character becomes when you only have two buttons to work with.

You can sidestep, wave dash and do electrics and hellsweeps... And so much more, it's impressive really, so let's talk about it! Of course, I would like to also apologize for the absence, this video was filmed in early October but due to work stress and a needed mental health break it was slowed down. But it's done now, and you can expect more videos soon. Thanks for watching and sticking by me!
