Tekken: King of the Iron Fist

Episode 14

[Episode 14] This month barSILENCE is fighting the Mishima Zaibatsu to be the King of the Iron Fist like it's 1995, while we listen to the soundtracks of the Arcade and Playstation 1 versions of Tekken and Tekken 2!

Let's dive into the catchy, bouncy, and energetic sounds of the Rave War from these genre-defining 3D fighters from the mid-90s.
