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
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

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.
