In celebration of Tekken's 30th anniversary on PlayStation, I created a YouTube video showcasing an early development version of the game. Presumably intended for trade shows like CES, E3, Japanese trade shows.
Highlights:
Title Screen/Mode Select: The beta/prototype has two modes—"ARCADE MODE" and "EXIT"—while the retail version has three.
Arcade Mode: Only two CPU fights are available in the beta/prototype, whereas the retail version features nine.
No Playable Paul Phoenix: A placeholder/test character, "WILD CARD," represented by a "?" on the PLAYER SELECT screen, replaces Paul Phoenix in the beta/prototype.
Nina Williams' Primary Outfit: Her default outfit is altered in the PlayStation beta/prototype.
Randomly Arranged Tracks: Arranged soundtracks originally made for specific stages are randomly played across all stages in the beta/prototype.

Excellent video! That would have taken a lot of research, time and work to complete. Well done 
The Tekken 1, 2 and 3 soundtracks are just so absolutely iconic and are composed so well.
Personally, Tekken 2 and 3 though have some absolute fantastic jams. I listen to them often whilst programming
