Tekken

Just FYI but against anyone who, y'know, BLOCKS, mashing will get you killed. Plus mashers tend to be predictable.

What I do against Eddy/Christie players is usually back-dash, wait, launch.

Which is almost as fun as Tornado-Throwing noob Gief players.

Is button mashing really considered combos now?

If the order in which you mash the buttons results in a combination of attacks, then yes.

I try not to but its sucks when your favorite character goes from being one of the most dangerous to "such a joke even Dan could kick his ass."

that happed to Paul aswell, he's still got the moves, but "story" wise, they turned him into such a ****ing pillock.
we all know that budget-and-effort wise the storyline in tekken is part of the "misc" concerns along with which default time limit rounds might have, and what kind of paper the manual will be printed in, but still, it sucks when your player is treated as a sort of comedy figure in what is otherwise a very serious premise.

Fair enough, but you should have seen the looks one Eddie/Christie users faces when I used to counter them with Paul [Back and LP+LK or Back and RP+RK IIRC] They didn't know what happened.

Agreed. They have turned him into an idiot or a pillock [why am I thinking of LOSW for some reason?] Paul went from Kazuya's rival to not being able to beat Kuma and homeless and impoverished [I thought the "OMG. I'm up to my ears in debt." was Law's gag?]

I quite liked Tekken 2 and 3, sue me!

I started at tekken 1!!

the only one I havn't played extensively was dark resurrection.

I probably reached my sort of "best" at tekken 3 & 4, then 5 and 6 were more casual. so all my best players are say tekken 2 and 3 4. I still see steve and murdoc and one of the "knew guys"



in 6 I love Leo, she's like a VF fighter but in tekken. It's cool they have like real world fighting styles, but also players who play slightly like other fighting games.

I've been playing since 1 but only found out about the competitive side when dr came out on the ps3. I can't really talk about it as a competitive game 'casue i've only played a few people for real. But there is a really big tekken arcade scene in japan and korea. There is even a tekken show on korean tv.

I think the old korean videos from TTT are the best I've seen from tekken though. The koreans created a whole new way to play using a restrictive move list and canceled crouch dashes and back dashes with mishimas.

that not sound a bit naff? do they also have SC tournaments using only Hilde and having "Ring Out" competitions.

the other video was awesome though, those guys are like finely tunes athletes, one tiny opening and your circling the drain.
