Hadn't known or forgot that T3 came out on PS Store for PS4 and PS5 in 2025. Unlike 1 and 2, never came to PS3 store--fans theorize because of secret/unlockable manga character Gon.

Spamming down-forward-right-kick, mostly as Marshall or Forest Law, to try to cheese the VERY HARD CPU in Arcade Mode of every Tekken game I've got!
 
2:25 - Tekken
10:13 - Tekken 2
20:22 - Tekken 3
41:25 - Tekken Tag Tournament HD
48:00 - Tekken 4
1:13:58 - Tekken 5
1:17:25 - Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection
1:21:19 - Tekken 6
1:28:33 - Tekken Tag Tournament 2
1:34:15 - Tekken 7
1:48:34 - Tekken 8
 
Didn't seem to work in T3, TTTHD, and Tekken 8--not that the vulnerability didn't still seem to be there on the CPU's side for the most part--with the notable exception of CPU Bryan's consistent flip-kick counter in Tekken 8--but that they would counter with ridiculously overpowered stuff that rendered the exploit underpowered and irrelevant.
 
Although that wasn't the case vs Armor King and Lars in T8 who basically just matched my crouch and sat there, letting me kick them repeatedly. So, T8 is weird, sometimes real good, sometimes real bad. ; D
 
Those videos from a few years back when I first found the problem in T5DR and was testing it with every character in just the one game I thought it affected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIPr7yg4LOo and then retesting some of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niAdZN29C-E
 
Was surprised by the fudgy control in Tekken 4--backdash input usually failed, side-switching is awkward, and just staying crouched was really frustrating. 'p'

I forgot to post this first one:
 

 
0:00 - Tekken 3 PS1
3:03 - Tekken Force - Jin Kazama
12:33 - Tekken Force - Lei Wulong
18:06 - Tekken Force - King
21:52 - Tekken Force - Ling Xiaoyu
25:58 - Survival - Nina Williams
29:00 - Arcade Mode - Gon
42:11 - boss
44:53 - ending & credits
49:34 - Tekken Force - Gon
52:24 - Team Battle (8 on 8)
52:49 - Gon vs Gon
1:03:32 - Tekken 3 arcade in Tekken 5
 
Reducing Tekken 5 to native PS2 internal resolution fixes the skybox seams, but that's a bit of an extreme solution I think.
 
Hold Select to get to the operator's menu ("TEST MODE") in the Tekken 5 Tekken 3 arcade port.

Whoops I left out the previous one:
 

 
0:41 - playthrough
15:56 - boss
16:57 - ending
17:50 - credits
20:51 - (actually unlocked Julia not bear ; D)
 
This game was Ling Xiaoyu's debut!
 
Ah this playthrough unlocked Julia! (Oh but I did have to continue rather more than just once didn't I? Ah, short term selective memory. ; D)
 
And MAN that ending, WOW. = ooo My previous playthrough was as Gon (https://youtu.be/mYTZ_7LmtU8) and his ending was you know standard pre-rendered 3D FMV; I mean it was still entertaining but not nearly the hard-hitting visual nosebleed ]_] that THIS 2D hand-animated animation cyclone was!
 
I made an animated gif of the violent part = oo: https://smbhax.com/cgi-bin/gdb/n.pl?i=2075_04_xia_end.webp
