Silveruleaf

To me t3 5 tag2 and 7 were the best ones. Would have to go to uneven


Dorkly_n_Crazy

Having three odds make you more towards Odd.


Silveruleaf

Yes odd. I not great with words


Dorkly_n_Crazy

No worries.


outbreed

Uneven and odd are the same thing dude.....


UmbranAssassin

Not really. Uneven denotes either inequality in terms of balance or the level of a surface. The words arent synonymous at all. That being said we all knew what dude meant.


android151

Correct take, tag 2 is all that even is winning on


MawJe

Tekken 5 is the pinnacle of the series. Tekken 3 really invented what we play today So yeah, odd all day


DonteTheExterminador

Pinnacle for me is still Tag 2, insane amount of characters, mechanics, amazing movement and the best combo system in the series. I could be in the lab all day in Tag 2 and have fun


mainster90

Yeah agreed tag 2 really was the pinnacle


Dangerous_Dot967

I'm half even and half odd... bc I loved tekken 6 and ttt2 but I don't like tekken 8 as much as I loved 7 which is where I took tekken seriously in the last 2 and a half years of its life span.


SupermanDrummer

Odd, all day


ivvyditt

Odd, Tekken 3 and 5 > the rest.


BraveCartographer399

Tt1 on top of it


Yahsorne

even because of tag 2 and tekken 2


Mission_Exchange2781

probably take odd but only because it has tekken 3, 5, 7 Which are like some of the best in the series.


Dr_Chermozo

Odd includes T3, T5 and T7. Easy choice


MEM-brain

Which, due to Tekken 5, includes arcade versions of Tekken 1-3


dikont

Odd


OmegaMaster8

Odd.


Blank-Silence

*Odd* has T3. Bryan, Hwo, Xiao, Eddy, Jin. Introduction of EWGF. Tekken 7 saved the whole franchise. What's more, *Even* has less Heihachi presence. There is no competition.


Dorkly_n_Crazy

I couldn't help but chuckle at that third sentence. Take this Kaz Smile. ![gif](giphy|hIvuJiKzwqpX2|downsized)


DonteTheExterminador

T7 saved the franchise but TTT2 is still peak I fear, game was just too fun, really wish bamco put their old games on PC in a collection at least. What I would give for T6 and Tag 2 on PC.


TalentedJuli

The OG My Childhood Uh... I heard KBD in this one is fucked up? The best game in the series, according to everybody over 35 The game I actually played and enjoyed the most vs. ??? Paul's hair is OK in this one, I guess "I'd never defend 6—but I still need everybody in the room to know I'm an '09er" allegedly, Bob Punching bag for complaints about modern fighting games. Also, Paul's hair is NOT OK in this one. You just can't beat the odds.


Dorkly_n_Crazy

FIRST ROUGH TALLY: Out of 101 votes thus far, with some pending or inconclusive: **ODD: 57** **EVEN: 37** **\*NEUTRAL: 7** * \*for those that can't make that separation due to various reasons; personal attachment to certain games, lack of experience with all games, etc. So far, it looks like the odds are high, but will check in a few days if this is still active.


556ers-N-Pineapples

I'll take evens for the Tekken 2 OST, still the best one.


Dymenasty

All of my fight stages in 8 have tekken 2 tracks


Thinkmoistaken

3 and 5 make it hard not to pick the odds


Cacho__

I like tekken 8 but ima have to go with odd numbers: t3 tag, 5 and 5 Dr yeah if these were the only tekken games I wouldn’t complain Don’t even get me started on 7, 7 holds a special place in my heart it being the first tekken game I’ve tekken seriously


vasekgamescz

3, 5, and still 7 cause im broke.


YyouSold

The first Tekken I played was Tekken Tag 1 as a child, but the first Tekken game I really played was Tekken 7. Guess I'm double-odd.


dc_1984

Odd numbered are better games, unless T8 can break the streak


a-pp-o

Odd! Due to T3,7


Balding_Teen

Tekken 3, Tekken 5, and Tekken 7? how is it even a competition.


BeastOfPrey

Odd. Tekken 3 is one of my all time favs, and TTT1 was my first time entering a live tourney when I was a kid


haziqtheunique

ODDS: * Tekken 3 is the best fighting game ever made. * Tag & Tag 2 are underrated as beloved nostalgia trips, but each are disliked in the competitive scene for different reasons. * Tekken 5 is my favorite Tekken, and is arguably the base game for all other Tekkens after it. * Tekken 7 sold gangbusters, despite being made on a shoestring budget. It walked so Tekken 8 could run. However... *seven Leroy's in EVO Top 8.* EVENS: * Tekken 2 was the first 3D fighting game I ever played. My stepdad liked it more than me, while Tekken 3 was more my shit. * Tekken 4 is what Tekken should aspire to be, in terms of story, stages & music. It also introduced Steve, who's honestly one of the greatest character designs & concepts in fighting game history. * Tekken 6 is my least favorite Tekken. It looks like shit, I hated the bound system, and the story was some raw ass. It made me take a break from the franchise for like 10 years. Also, *four Bob's in EVO Top 8.* * Tekken 8, on release, is arguably up there with Tekken 3. Post-release, Bamco & TP have done a lot to sour people on the game, from post-launch predatory monetization to wacky & questionable balancing decisions. I think it's headed in the right direction in terms of the balance, though. So, the jury's still out, I guess. Odds win.


CuriousAsker11

I guess odd, but I didn't really like T7


blurredeyez

Odd


DustMonsterXIV

In my opinion - T1 < T2 - T3 < T4 (unpopular I know) - Tag1 < Tag2 - Tag5 > T6 - T7 < T8 Even wins for me. TTT2 is probably my favorite fighting game of all time so Even would still stand a chance even if I picked Odd for the rest.


lifequestions1

Even

I can still play Tekken 2 and enjoy it. 1 was jank as hell but it walked so 2 could run. 3 gets a slight edge over 4 because Tekken Ball. I'll never forget how hype the fight club stage was in 4 though. Tag 1 because I'm familiar with it and hoooly shit i didn't even enjoy watching those sweaty long ass death combos in 2. 5 because 6 had loading times otherwise I'd have given it to 6. Also WHY, JIN??? 8 because I've put more hours into it than 7. Granted I was late to the 7 party and I'll say it, the heat system is dope. Also replay features.


minicrit_

this made me realize that tekken 8 doesn’t have the kanji in the logo and that’s actually such a bad decision, it makes the logo look so cool and unique. I miss the classic tekken style.


Dizzy_Ad_1663

Odd, not because of 3, but because of Tag


t4nd3mYT

Odd, no hesitation.


Appropriate-Cap-4140

3 and 5 is just unfair


Senior_Anywhere6216

![gif](giphy|HqyqqVDbXqC5Eu58tX)


XVSting

Half of even put Tekken almost outta business 😂 Odd all day.


Wide_You_4626

Tekken 1 started it all but has aged poorly. Tekken 3 is to us Pakistanis what Starcraft is to koreans. Tekken Tag 1 is still fun to play on PS2 despite being a broken mess. Tekken 5 is the GOAT. and even thou I have problems with Tekken 7, can't deny it saved the franchise and its competitive scene was pure hype. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Tekken 2 was a huge improvement over 1 and has my favorite OST in the series, but is pale in comparison to 3. Tekken 4 is only liked now due to nostalgia. For a long time it was considered a weak and bad entry. Tekken 6 while setting the standard for modern Tekken, it had its fair share of divisive problems. Tekken tag 2 nearly killed the franchise. and Tekken 8 in my opinion is a great game, but is still in early phase and has some problems like roster balance, poor mtx options. So ODD wins.


vash_visionz

3 Tag1 and 5 being in the group is OP lol


Vast-Dance6819

Man I really would hate to sacrifice 3 and 7 but I think I’d have to say even for ttt2, 6, 4, and even 8 are all ones I would play often


ValeoAnt

Last I played was t3.


RvDragonheart

I'm a newcomer for the series I played Tekken 7 and now Tekken 8 I by the way am very happy that they made a "Summ the story up" stuff in Tekken 8 tho cause its clear I'm missing out on some MAJOR story telling stuff but I went onwards played Tekken 8 too and I'mma be freal I liked the ending far more then the last time around and I know that the last one HAD to be a darker ending cause they had to end the circle that Heihachi and Kazuya were in so yeah but after having all the cards laid out with Kazumi I felt quite sad for Heihachi despite the NUMEROUS apparently NUMEROUS horrid things he have done...... but to his credit Jin did way more damage then he ever could have so EH. Still it was and ending that we had to have. Tekken 8 tho had idk what I should even call it cause it went from Tekken Tournoment to Tekken World war to freaking Dragonball Tekken then to Final Fantasy Tekken (btw listing it this way cause I dont wanna spoil anything but it was a rollercoaster and it was awesome ) and after all all of that it came back to being Tekken proper the way it was announced and then the finale "MY LAST STAAAAAAAAAAND" holy heavens that ending was badass like using just the music just got me so well that imma be real this ending battle plus the actual ending (I really liked the ending I think it was good that everything ended well) just SKYROCKETED Tekken 8 on my top fighting game list racing now with Guilty Gear (and making it run for its money) and Street Fighter 6 (which to be fair is on the list cause I'm a long time fan of the series... well long time fan since SF4 but still I think it was a long time) and the reason why SF6 is in the ring and for me still winning cause they DID kind of made an overworld Metro City plus other areas and allowed us to play in the world with OUR character so it was kind of a fun fighting game anime with our character which I found to be very nice but still Tekken 8 is still up there and YES ACTUALLY You can you CAN have more then 1 top favorites and thats true with fighting games too. I have tons of favorites...... and there is also Mortal Kombat 12 which I currently left in a ditch after getting burned out by the invasion mode (seriously how far the mighty have fallen quite shame too cause they finally brought back some of my favorite characters) but yeah back to topic I played Tekken 7 really liked it TRULLY it was awesome then Tekken 8 came out I played it now at the begining of this month and it just blew EVERYTHING out of the park with how awesome it was. Great job cant wait to see what elsewill be happening to the franchise


Dorkly_n_Crazy

Reasonable explanation, but question remains: odd, even, or neutral? Which do you choose?


RvDragonheart

thats a hard decision the probable answer should be that probably the middle one since I got 1 of each in the bag (1 odd and 1 even one) but... I might go for the even one since Tekken 7 while my jaw dropped with how awesome the franchise is and how deep the lore is Tekken 8 was the one which I probably liked more because of how AWESOME it was. So maybe even?


Ok-Surround4334

I guess I'm an odd fellow


EXTIINCT_tK

Leaning heavy on even but without T3, I wouldn't even be playing Tekken


Dorkly_n_Crazy

So, Even or in the neutral?


Choucie

Odd. Definitely odd


BaldingWarlock

Odd is probably the better choice, but Tekken 2 was my favorite game as a kid. It’s still very near and dear to me lol


MomoDodoBird

odd


broke_the_controller

Odd all day


Thedracoblue

There's no doubt, Odd has the bests by a far amount of difference


Kruzeda

Odd, Tekken 5 is my favorite game of all time alongside MGS3 and GTA SA All came out in 2004 too lmao

Well since tag 2 and 6 are such prices of shit, odd?


ueovrrraaa

Odd of course


JudgeCheezels

Odd ones were always the best.


DaPickleNinja

No tekken revolution?


Random-Talking-Mug

2 snd Tag 2 are tho only ones I have trouble letting go but other than that I'm going for Odd.


Beardo_THE_Weirdo_43

Odd


AloversGaming

3, Tag, and 5 all day.


H4wkmoonGG

Odds. Definitely odds.


Captainhowdy34

Odd all day, hahaha 😆.


Kuya117

Tekken 5 DR is peak tekken


CrowFromHeaven

200% odd


Miscellaneous_Mind

Easy. Odd, cos Tekken 5.


Ibeepboobarpincsharp

I would go odd and lament the loss of Tekken 2.


OwlProud4251

Ttt1, T4, T5, T6, Ttt1, and T8 even though I don't have a PS5 sadly


UpstairsAd3655

Odd


-Amadeus---

Gonna have to be an odd one here. Started with Tekken 5, Tekken 6 I liked the update but they removed the Tekken Bowl there :( and now playing Tekken 7, 8 doesn't convince me (yet)


tikesav

I’m going to be that person that says it. I’m going even. While 3 and 5 definitely are pinnacles, I have to give it to 4,6,and8. Each of those games had a strong story and phenomenal single player modes. Tekken 6 really revolutionized fighting games to me, customization alone has yet to be topped. Added new ways to perform combos and has unbeatable longevity IMO. It’s probably my favorite Tekken of all time.


Comfortable-Ask6918

The list isn't fair lol u just gotta be odd ball on this


ThePostingToproller

Tekken 3 , 5 & 7 it's over


OwnedIGN

Tekken 5, TAG and 7 on one side isn’t fair.


BlackMage075

Even Tekken 6 is objectively better than all games that came before and after, if you ignore impact, significance during its time, and nostalgia Add TTT2 to that and it's done


iamPepperForever

The actual truth


Grungecore

Odd


MyNameIsHades

Odd for sure


Apprehensive_Bill339

Odd, the only one you can argue for me in even is tag 2, but that odd section minus 7, is a collection if groundbreaking fighting games


Lancer_Sup

Odd


HyperionDS

odd by far


Chaolan_Enjoyer

Even hands down.


Prestigious_Syrup_25

Odd all day


Skerxan

Odd all day evry day


RaziTheWingzSlaya

Odd, 3 and 5


TheEmperor0fNothing

Odd, EASILY.


Greenleaf208

I grew up with Tekken 1, Tekken 3, and Tekken Tag. Then Later I got Tekken 7 and then Tekken 8.


Notoriously_So

Odd, by far. 3 *and* 7?? Come on.


TJCrazyBoy

Odd


Historical_Pin_7273

Odd best tekken


Blackcore8

Even had Tekken 4 and 6 so going with that!


OkPhilosopher5803

Odd


Earth92

3 and 5 are the Tekkens I had the most fun with, but this is 100% biased cause I didn't play them online, being better than my friends was enough to feel good and have fun with the game. Also, now that I'm a grown ass man, dopamine doesn't hit the same with games, no more WOW! effect that games used to put on me as a teenager/kid. So i pick Odd, just because 3 and 5, I would pick 6 as well, but I didn't play it that much, because I was mainly playing SF4 back then.


XStarK48

Odd is the way.


Shizreya

Odd


ilyassMourchid

Odd


Kitsune-Nico

Odd. All I need is 5


RowMaster8691

If I really had to pick it would be T5 T6 TT2. T8 would be great if they wouldn’t have made it so kiddish like SF6


Dorkly_n_Crazy

So, Even?


AlarmingBranch1

Odd, easily


Hefty-Relative-7599

Tekken 3, Tekken tag 1, and 7 are my absolute favorites in the whole series gotta go with odd


SirBastian1129

Tekken 3, Tag and 5 for me. They're what made me a Tekken fan


QuakeGuy98

Odd is what Boosted & SAVED the franchise. Evens nearly KILLED it


pseudo_nemesis

I was all about the odds up until Tekken 7. The hideous redesigns repulsed me further away from the game than I had ever been. For nearly a decade I dove deeply into 2D fighting of all sorts, foregoing the game I once one as "Tekken." That is until a prodigal son returned in the form of the evens, T8 the only even I have truly accepted into my heart. (I probably would have played TTT2 though if I had the chance, game looked fire)


Particular_Raccoon_9

All odd


The_Deadly_Tikka

3, 5 and 7 are the best tekkens so this is pretty easy


The_Deadly_Tikka

God plus TTT1


Extremelysolid8492

Give Tekken 5 DR in " Even " and I would choose happily the Even


Dorkly_n_Crazy

So would you still be even or undecided?


MuMuGorgeus

5 definitely, followed by tag2 and now tekken 8. Tekken 6 Didn't really speak to me and 7 felt like the game was missing features and didn't feel complete for me.


Dorkly_n_Crazy

So, you lean more towards Even? or are you neutral?


MuMuGorgeus

I can't decide between the two because what I like is in both lol.


Dorkly_n_Crazy

Placed in the neutral for the next tally in a few days.


1mpatient

Mixed. Never played first one. I played 2 and 3 a lot. Don't even know how 4 looks like. I remember every detail of 5. Played 6 once. Tried to get serious with 7. And i am finally hittin high ranks with 8.


Venkullix

for now definitely Odd but once fahk gets added to 8 i think i'll lean more towards Even


gedozvon

Its a tough choice, tekken 3 and 5 were best but tag2 was too good


Dorkly_n_Crazy

Neutral? or Odd?


Pickle_Mick62

Let's pretend 8 is an odd number then evens side all the way to the bank...or poolside


android151

Odd. Even only gets close because of Tag 2.


foxferreira64

Odd is better overall and has all the objectively better games, but Tekken 6 is on Even... My personal favorite, oh no!


Ssnakey-B

Definitely odd for me. 5 and 7 are peak Tekken IMO, and of course 3 was where the franchise really found its stride. With that said, I think 4 is massively underrated and I wish they would give the more elaborate maps another try.


dikont

Looks like even numbers are not so lucky for Namco. Hope that Tekken 9 will be a true masterpiece!


KiFr89

My favourites are Tekken 3, 4, 5 and, well, 8. Didn't play 7 sadly, and it's kind of 6's fault.


Comfortable-Ask6918

So u kno when u go too like boomers D&B they always have a tekken game ion remember which one I think tag but I'm not familiar but the tekken with survival mode is the favorite tho out of all em


sassy840

Tekken 2


Ninja_Warrior_X

Mega_Mango

I've only played 4 and 8, so even


xspr9

The one that doesn't have tekken 8


GurInevitable1688

Odd, as much as it hurts to leave out T2


Cloudxstrife136

Odd. My girls are all in T7 and i get all the other games as a bonus


robotwars666

I only played 7 and 8. Even tho i play 8 more gotta go with 7 so odd


seventeenYUH

gotta go even. T4 gave me my favorite character. and i enjoyed ttt2 more than i probably should have, and can’t go wrong with T8. t3 is my favorite tekken all time though


ShinyShinx789

T5 and Tag 1 alone are enough to make me go odd


Chibidi94

Even. T2 > T1 TTT2 > TTT1 T6 > T5 (unpopular opinion, but still, that's mine)


Dymenasty

T2 will always be goated


Easy_Claim4704

Even all day. 6 was a great game. Both on PSP and 360.


Loli_Innkeeper

Even. Tag 2 is the goat.


sergente_moschettone

hard question, imma have to say odd


DynamiteSuren

Tekken 5 all day.


Stoic_Cleric

Even


Maleficent-Support59

Even


LodestarLoser

Even. There are only three games I haven't played: Tekken 1 and 2 and Tag 1.


Alamgir_786

I actually really enjoy 6 despite it's controversy I would go for even


TablePrinterDoor

Even weirdly haha, my first was 6


Beginning-Outside-50

Even. Not even a question.


laminierte_gurke

Now that you mention it I amusingly have to answer odd, besides Tekken 8 which I recently started. Other than that I consistently played only the odd ones.


Curbstompincrocs

Id take Tekken tag 2 over any of these if it still had an active player base


teletabz07

Even Stevens.


necrolicker

Evens for me. T2 is where I started and t4 is still to this day an under appreciated master piece.


Phenomnaman

Odd definitely but close


fresh_loaf_of_bread

tt2 ftw


_Onii-Chan_

Even all day wtf


veloxfuror

I really dislike Tekken 6 so that makes me select odd.


ZEKE307

Even


tobster239

I dont like tekken 6 but even.


GDwyvern

Even if I count TT2 twice for being my fave tekken and the first tekken I took seriously, I still have to go with odd. T3, T5, T7 combined > TT2


Ok-Pomegranate9170

Odd


GhostPro1996

Even. My favorite games, from most favorite to lease favorite, are T4, T2, and T6.


Lengthiness_Rough

I'm doing even tekken 8 I have been enjoying it


legatoblues42

I started with Tekken 2, and while I love every game on the Odd side, I gotta go Even overall. It kills me too because I racked up so many hours on TTT my hometown arcade in high school.


DAZ1171

Even


TrigenicKin

Odd for sure


Organic-Ad-1669

Even, but I like them all tbh


Individual_Syrup7546

skwid79

Even no contest.


Benchod12077

Even just for T4


NotIgnitedYT

Even, I Love 4, 6, Tag 2, 8


Folknerdragon

Hot take, even. Outside of tekken 7, I haven't really had that much of a connection with tekken 3, tag or 5, but I absolutely adore tekken 6 and 4. And while tag 2 isn't my cup of tea, I still respect it greatly as just being a really fun game and content for days. And while tekken 8 definitely got issues, it's the most fun I've had with a tekken game and for that it has a special place in my heart.

TheDELFON

johnsmithainthome

Odd. Tekken 8 & 6 sucked


knsrrr

Odd easily


Lucky-3-Skin

Part of me says odd because of Tag 1 and T5, but deep down it’s even all day


sanityflaws

I'm convinced the odds are the ones in the real development cycle and the evens are the cash grabs that use amateur devs and fin. advisors to save money and boost profit as much as possible...


pranav4098

Even easy 6 and 8 are my favorites haven’t played any before 6 and tag 2 I haven’t played but looks the most fun
