Title: Fighting games (3D)
Post by: The Stapler on May 16, 2002, 02:07:12 PM
I\'m looking for a good fighting game, and yes I already own VF4. I\'m looking at TTT (No worries, I\'m picking up T4 too!), but if DOA2 gets alot of good responses, then I might pick that up. Thanks for the help.

BAH

TTT is the **** and will be for quite sometime its better then Tekken 4 anyday of the week

1. Has every character known to the tekken universe - least the serious ones - no gon or gay ass dr. b but they are worthless

2. it has freaking tag option

3. because it has a style of tekken everyone is accustom too - not that the new style isnt bad just saying

4. because of the above

so yea there

I personally like DOA2.  At first its a real simple fighting game, and almost anyone can play, but once you seriously start getting into it, its rather a deep game.  Especially on multiplayer.  My roomate and I had all kinds of fighting games, but we always ended up playing DOA2, and we still have fun competing in it.

DOA2 is the best u have to get it, i have to say its not slow and boring like tekken and some of the other games.

and the good thing is that u can counter everything from high,middle,low and even when they try to grab u u can break free. personally get this game!!!

thing about the counters are they are way overpowered in DOA2 and they are easy to pull off

and thats what is rather sad - tekken btw is in no way slow - VF is but not tekken

while it may not be as button bashing quicker as DOA2 its still not slow

i found DOA2 actually funner without friends since i hated how easy it was for people with no skill to pull stuff off - it upset me to say the least - DOA3 fixed some of the overpower issues at least still a decent game regardless though

DOA2 is fun. Soul Calibur 2 is gonna rock the house though.

TTT is the king of non skilled button bashers, I\'ve owned every Tekken game so far but TTT takes the biscuit. It\'s too slow to pull off any decent combos, you think you\'ve pushed a button, nothing happens, so you push another, then the originally intended move happens just when you\'ve compensated for the mess up. It\'s painful to play, so much so it\'s persuaded me never to buy tekken again!!

Tekken is a button masher.

Who can\'t pull off combos with Eddie, Baek, and Hwaorang by just tapping?

Anyway...

2-D fighters > 3-D fighters

So if there are a couple characters that favor mashing (though even that proves ultimately futile against good players), that makes the whole game a masher? And I\'d love to see someone go through Hwoarang\'s infinity combos by just mashing... if you begin mashing buttons in Tekken, you\'re missing the whole point. And those combos you\'re talking about aren\'t too long or difficult to block, dodge or just be interrupted by a smack in the face, so they\'re not really "real" combos (of course there are strings are are guaranteed after some hit connects. Juggling, now that\'s where it\'s at.

TTT (and Tekken in general) is deep, too deep for many people. People who mash through the single player mode or give some inexperienced friends the boot and never experience playing against skilled opponents (hence never force themselves to develop any skill in the game) make it shallow for themselves (the AI is god awful in TTT, ick). And if someone claims he/she "0\\/\\/nZ" Tekken, and you kick his/her ass by mashing, that just means they sucked to begin with.

*feels like he\'s talking to several hands so goes to sleep instead*

*decides not to go to sleep but hone his worn out juggling skills in TTT*

Word

Tekken is bomb and Soul Calibur is just as good.  DOA and VF dont even compare and never have in the arcade (although the first original soul blade sucked)

But DOA3 still relies too much on counters.  All the game ends up being is memorizing every characters strings, tap with few jabs and kicks and basically reverse.  I mean those weird stun combos can be reversed.  Real juggles are few and ugly, the wall effect is stupid cause smth just not fun about pulling off one move or throw on the wall and watching ur opponent slump down without being able to combo his ass.  Its more of a for fun game and lacks real competitive edge that Tekken and Soul Calibur possess.

VF4 is cool but not as deep as Tekken.  Much better than DOA though.

As for TTT vs T4, well T4 is good but it was not as good as it was expected to be.  It\'s bout damn time that game came to PS2 cause it\'s wearing out fast.  Waiting till Sep is bullsh*t.  Maybe the PS2 version will have more add ons and characters (i really hope), plus it better have online gameplay.

But I just bought Bloody roar 3 on ebay.  Hehe I just liked that game in arcade for some strange reason.  It\'s more of a 2D fighter anyway.

VF can\'t compare to Tekken?

Tell that to the Japanese.

Its only been the #1 fighting game in Japan since the first one.

And VF is much more deeper than Tekken.
