Tekken

[tillboy]

I've noticed no-one posted anything on Tekken yet, since Tekken 5 was just released so, go figure.

Post your thoughts, favourite characters and even FAQ's abt Tekken here. I'm sure I can help or anyone else can help.

bitch, its all about christie *****, mmmmmmm

[tillboy]

HAHA! I like Nina...she's so hawt. And she's one of the best characters in Tekken 5...

[Chromer]

Oy... You two definitely have nothing valuble to say so I'll go ahed and post my thoughts. T5 is definitely the best Tekken to date. With the return to T3 and TTT style of fighting, the game felt right at home for me. Also this game features the largest cast of characters in a Tekken game and so on.

My favorite characters at the moment are some new and returning people such as:

-Christie Montiero
-Steve Fox
-Bruce
-Asuka
-Raven
-Jin

From handling all of these people my best characters are w/o a doubt Bruce and Asuka. Bruce has a great balance of upper body and lower body attacks plus his grapples and wall game is immensley good. Asuka lacks in lower body attacks but makes up for it in her powerfully devastating upper body and grappling attacks. Plus she almost handles like Jin(since she's Jin's younger sister) so she felt comfortable as well.

Overall, T5 definitely is contender for Best Fighting Game of 2005 so far. With its old-school controls, and beautifully done graphics(T5 is only for PS2, Sorry Squeek), it took what was a lackluster edition such as T4, and turned it into a new creation. However, T5 does lack online play which was a major dissapointment. With news that Soul Calibur III plans to go online this year, it'll be interesting to see how T5 stands up to its arch rival.

Haha! I got alot to say but I'm saving it so I can compare! HAHA! I play defensively!

Well you put up a nice review and that's real cool. Well I agree it is the best fighting game...for now...

Well I'm and avid user of King (why u think king is in my sig and avatar?!) and is my personal favourite charater of any video game to date.

Major Characters I use:
-King
-Nina
-Craig Marduk

Minor Characters:
-Anna
-Yoshimitsu
-Bryan
-Devil Jin

Well, I wouldn't say SC and Tekken are arch-rivals at all! They are more partners than anything else... They are made by the same company, and even characters from Tekken like Yoshimitsu and Heihachi feature. Certain characters even compare like Nina and Ivy, and Taki and Kunimitsu. IMO SC is basically Tekken with weapons and different button setup.

[Chromer]

SCII compared to T4 is an easy pick for SCII because SCII had a deeper fighting system then what T4 had last year. I can't wait to see what SCIII pulls out this year.

[JinTheFighter]

my real name is the name of my fave fighter Jin my home boy

[tillboy]

That is cool! To have a name like Jin...

Well SCIII will be real cool as it will have online playing unlike Tekken 5. Tekken 4 really was a failure compared to Tekken 5 and SCII.

If anyone want to know strageties, combos and even storyline stuff ask! I'm here to help...

I personally don't like Christie, and half the people that play with her(or Eddy for previous Tekken titles) sit there and press the kick buttons and pull the control stick different ways. On Tekken 5, this really isn't a problem for Feng Wei, whose Kenpo Step will counter half the stuff she does. All you have to do is parry the rest.


~Feng Wei owns you all!!!!

WHERE IN THE HELL DID MY TEKKEN 5 THREAD GO?!?!

Serously, I started a thread for this very game and now I can't find it.

Anyway, I was elated to see that my team from TTT came back: Anna and Bruce. However, I was disappointed to find Bruce thoroughly changed, seemingly for the worse. No longer does his gatling combo launch =(. I'm not entirely sure if this is new, though, but he can d/f+2 launch off of a low parry. /masturbates

Anna seems to work extremely well. I love her new combos and moves and her juggling's been dramatically improved. She's still a poking whore, although she's been reduced to close combat since her middle game went byebye.

Nina has also been improved. She was one of the better T4 characters, too. I don't know a whole lot about Nina since I'd much rather play her sister, but I did notice this.

Bryan = broken. All of his combos link together, he has (seemingly) no frame disadvantages, the horrible damage ratio works GREATLY in his favor, his WS+3 gained another punishing knee, he gained much priority, and he's fast as fuck. They souped him up so much that I don't know how to play him anymore.

I've heard people say that Steve is really the broken one of the game, but I haven't ever played against a good Steve player (and I was the best with him in T4 at my arcade) so I wouldn't know. I also never truly learned how to play him, either.

My only real complaint with T5 is the same problem T3 had: damage ratio. C'mon, Namco, I thought you learned your lesson when TTT came out, but no, you had to go and make moves obscenely powerful. One very slight misstep can cause me to move straight into Bryan's CH b+2, 1, 2 and start the round with over half of my life gone, and that's just ridiculous.

And magister, yeah, most people who play with Christie are nothing but Eddy scrubs, but you've gotta respect those who can play her well.

Chromer, what makes you think that Asuka is Jin's sister? Nothing I've seen confirms that (emphasis on "confirms"). I mean, she does have the Kazama style of fighting and the last name of Kazama, but nowhere I've seen actually explicitly states that they're siblings. Oh, and, if anything, surely they'd be half-siblings, unless Jun has a devil fetish.

Do the still have Hwaorang(Sp?)? He was my favorite since T1

[GuidoHunter]

Yes, they still have him, but he didn't exist until T3. Maybe you're thinking of Baek?

Yesh. I do respect those who can actually play correctly with Christie/Eddy, but at the time I was solely refering to button pressers.

Yes, I hate it when people button mash with either Chirstie/Eddy.... As for my favorite character, It's Ling Xiaoyu....
