Tekken

[Gabranth]

Well I noticed lots of MK fans and a couple SF fans...but what of Tekken?
I grew up on Tekken 3. It was probably the first game I was totally addicted to. The hours I spent unlocking absolutely everything and anything in that game is quite astounding to my very lazy current self.

I even went out and got Tekken 1 and 2 after I beat 3. I then got 4 which..kinda blew. 5 redeemed it though. Love that game. Still haven't played 6 as I lack a PS3.

I played 2 and Tag Team mostly (BECAUSE KUNIMITSU IS SO MUCH FUN), but I didn't care for 4 too much and I didn't really care for Asuka. I like Xiaoyu the most atm and play as Yoshimitsu because I'm a cheap cunt.

but Tekken is probably my favorite fighting game.

I grew up on 3 and loved the ones before. Think I liked 4 too.

Dont play 6. It ruined what I loved about the game for me.
I CANT LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOU TOO!

 

[Gabranth]

I didn't like Asuka either. Jun was awesome and Asuka is not worthy of the Kazama name.

Plus she's just fanservice.
And Tekken already has Anna Williams. That's all the fanservice I need.

I think when I unlocked Brian on Tekken 3 I seemed to just use him all the time. That guy was crazy.

There's already a Tekken thread <<

I literally grew up skipping out on the summer daycare thing to go to the movie theater to play Tekken I at the arcade. I played T3 constantly on the highest difficulty setting to try and rock my way through with perfects.

Then I stopped playing about six months before T4. =/

Heihachi is still my favorite character, but I tear shit up with King, Yoshimitsu, Steve, Brian, or Lee/Violet, too.

And I'm possibly the only person that hates the Williams sisters =/

 

[Gabranth]

I don't like Nina if that's any consolation.

My favorite characters are Hwoarang, Jun and Heihachi.

 

[Joker]

Orite.

I liked Asuka =/

 

[Joe]

Brian, Yoshimitsu and Hwoarang.

 

[Celes Chere]

I LOVE TEKKEN I HAVE PLAYED THEM ALL. Even that weird one for the PSP.

Xiaoyu, Leo, Lili, Nina, Jin, ETC... are all epic characters. ;D I can only win with like three characters though, lol. Which would be Leo, Hwoarang, and Xiaoyu.

I liked Asuka =/

I hated her and Anna. xD

There's already a Tekken thread <<

 

[Gabranth]

Ya know, being a fighting game, a lot of people don'e appriecate Tekken's epic music.

It has some of the best OSTs in gaming though IMO.

And a ton more.

I hated her and Anna. xD

I didn't like Nina to begin with, so the palette swapped but otherwise exactly the same just more of a fucktard sister didn't have a chance. xD

I started liking Nina a bit more when Steve showed up

Xiaoyu is one of those characters I don't like, but respect, because I know it's hard to play with her. Kinda like Lei.

also, lol'd

 

[Gabranth]

Hey, Anna is way better than Nina. They have way different personalities. Anna is sweet and passionate for an assassin. Nina is a total Ice Queen.

Also Anna always gets picked on. For instance, look at her and Nina's Tekken Tag endings.

Nina's Ending

ANNA'S Ending

I can remember raging like no other back in the day and I still ge upset seeing poor Anna being tortured in her own damn ending.

 

[Splintered]

I never liked Fighting Games, probably because I was never any good at them. Tekken was the exception, I loved the games when I was younger (I haven't played the more recent ones though).

I loved Nina, she's got the ice-queen bitch attitude without being obnoxious. I despised Anna though, in a way I never thought I would care about a fighting character. Everything about her was so shrill and irritating, at least to me.

Oh, and Paul, Hwoarang, and Jin are all awesome.

 

[Gabranth]

Guess I'm alone in liking Anna. Oh well.

@ Splintered: I take it since you haven't played the more recent games that you haven't seen Heihachi's Tekken 5 ending?
It's the best ending in the whole series and TOTALLy canon.

Spoiler

Okay maybe not but I can dream.

 

[Dark and Divine]

Tis is probably my favourite theme of the entire series.

I love Tekken, but I haven't played 4 and only played 6 to an extent.

My favourite is still Tekken 2, with Tekken 5 as a close second.

My favourite characters are Devil/Angel, Kazuya, heihachi, Jun, Baek, Ling Xiaoyu and Feng Wei.

And Roger/Alex for lulz.

 

[Ghost X]

Thing about Tekken - which people might enjoy, but I don't - is that its essentially the same game it has been for the past decade and a bit, just with updated graphics. I stopped buying it after Tekken 5. I suppose you could argue, if a game ain't broken, don't fix it, but they could've added more interesting features with each installment than they did.

My favourite character to play was Asuka. I think I got some sort of top level rank with her in Tekken 5. Been so long since I played, I can't remember what its called, but you play against the computer, and level up sort of thing. I was pretty good with Yoshimitsu too, but got bored with him.

Bryan was a favourite of mine, I just thought he sucked to play with, but he's so bad ass. I still used him from time to time anyway. I used to play Christie and Eddy when I was a beginner, but my controller was too sensitive to do any of their technical stuff. The Mishima family (if I can call 'em that) were pretty fun to play as well.

I was really good at that British boxer dude in Tekken 4 too, but for some reason was completely shit with him in Tekken 5. Whether the engine was different, and made everything require different timing, I dunno, but it pissed me off since I could never chain anything like I could in the earlier instalment.

 

[Strangelove]

I only played up to 3 (I actually played 3 first and worked my way backwards). But I want to see if I can't find out any of them to play again now.

It was a while ago, but if I remember rightly I played a lot as Xiaoyu, Jin, and Hwoarang.

And maybe that guy who looked like Bruce Lee.

 

[Hisako]

I owned 3, skipped a few, played the later ones mostly on other people's games.

And then I bought 6.

Best Tekken so far, short of 3. Not kidding at all. And as crappy as the campaign mode was, you have to really congratulate them for trying to at least establish the canon properly and give some consistency to the story, unlike... well, most of the other fighting games out there.

Also in terms of Tekken music anything that Shiina touches turns to gold. Hamamoto also, although slightly less so. I have the 5 and 6 soundtrack, and I can tell you without a doubt that the 3-disc OST of Tekken 6 is the best work that they've produced.

I play as Lei and I could rant over how crappy his game is from 4 to 5 and how I'm absolutely gushing over his arsenal in 6 but I've already put that somewhere else and I cba. Also, the customisations in 6 range from awesome to stupid.
I give Lei's second costume the Tekken 3 colors and give him aviators and he's already 9001 times more badass than anything else I bought for him.

 

[Gabranth]

Tekken's always been big on the story. In fact I play the games because I like the plot.

Also RIP to Heihachi's VA from Tekken 3 and onward.

It was so weird when i first watched Dragonball in Japanese and heard the badass voice of Heihachi coming out of Mr. Satan's mouth.

 

[Tifaeria]

Played this series since the second one. Haven't played 5 and 6 yet, but I do love 3, Tag, and 4. My favorite characters to play as would be Christie, Hwoarang, Panda, Kuma, Roger, and Jun.

 

[Hisako]

Tekken 6 just looks so... good. That's what first struck out for me when I played it. Especially up close,. At a distance, aside from the backgrounds might not have been able to tell but you can really see the difference with the close ups and how detailed every character is.

Also, hair physics is kinda getting there. Kinda. Still very floaty.

 

[Ghost X]

Spiky manga-esque hairstyles will never have realistic physics. Actually, for the amount of wax and hair gel it'd take to imitate those hairstyles, I would think the in game depiction of them is quite accurate: Gravity-defying due to stiffness.

PS: I can't say stiffness and keep a straight face, sorry.

 

[Hisako]

I wouldn't really know too much about hair physics, tbh, since Lei really only has very ordinary bangs and a ponytail that probably wouldn't need gel and they float pretty realistically if you ask me
