Very boring.  And you can only do it back with Paul, Kazuya, or Steve, because everyone else isn\'t as fast.

Your just saying that because it isn\'t online and you won\'t have to back up your words.

I\'m not worried because the game is still brand new.  Namco can release new versions of the game.  Many arcade games have gone though revisions.  And about Ka\'z "Infinite combo" it will be gone in no time.  Does anybody here remember A-kings handcuffs..that was taken out in the ps2 version.  Problem solved.  I\'m not going to judge until I play it myself.

I was talking to some people on #tekken last night, and they were talking about who was the cheapest character along with a lot of other stuff.

Paul is definately the cheapest character.  If you get trapped into a wall by him, you are instantly dead because there is no way to get out of his 1,2.

Craig is very cool, and a little cheap too.  His tackle can take off up to half of your life if you don\'t get out of it, and until you learn the timing, it will seem a little unfair.

So far, everyone else isn\'t really "cheap," but I\'m sure other cheap things will be found.

Has anyone played Tekken 4 yet?

Nope.

On another note...your pic is starting to scare me now, IronFist...

I agree.  Bobby, when you play either of us, your hands will probably be so sweaty from fear that you won\'t even be able to hold onto the arcade stick.  

Enough talk, lets end this now.  Because we are on different continents, we are going to have to do this the old fashioned way.  I will first do this with Bobby *Soulgrind goes and sits in a different room*  How this works is I will punch you three times, and then you will punch me three times.  The first one to give up is the Tekken 4 loser.  

*IronFist punches Bob in the stomach*  
*IronFist punches Bob in the face*        
*IronFist gives Bob the ol\' Johnny Cage* (Mortal Kombat players know what I\'m talking about )

Ok Bob, I give up.  You win.

*IronFist drags Bob\'s broken body out the back door*

Soulgrind, you can come in now.  Muahahaha.  

BTW, EviscerationX, I would love to change my picture, but then I wouldn\'t be recognized anymore.  I think my picture stands out of the croud.  Whenever you see a big, bright picture of Sweet Tooth, you know I\'m posting.  

Your picture has scared me ever since you got it.  What the heck is that anyways?!

One of the arcades in the area is having a Tekken 4 tourney next week.  It was scheduled for today but the manager said the distributor didn\'t have enough kits ready for shipping.  I work on Sats but if I can get off it should be interesting.

Ironfist- what nick do you use on IRC?  There have been several IF\'s in #tekken over the years.  I\'m plain ol THX_.

btw- Catlord on TZ got his T4 kit on Aug 16, it\'s surprising how much it looks like the PS2 in structure. :eek:



Hmmmm it even has controller ports and mem card slots

Yeah, I saw those pics too.  It does look very similar to a PS2.  I wish I had $3000 to spend, because no arcade in my whole state is getting Tekken 4 for a while.  I think if I keep calling all of them, one of them is bound to get it.

My nick is Sumasshu on both #tekken and TekkenZaibatsu forums.

Want to hear a funny but crappy story?  I called like 10 arcades in my state, and I couldn\'t find any T4 machines.  I called two "Namco Arcades."  One said they probably wouldn\'t get it, and if they did, it would be in late September.  The other one is where the funny thing happened.  I called up and asked for Tekken 4.  The boy said, "Um, hold on a minute."  Then I heard him ask a girl if they had Tekken 4.  I heard the girl say, "Tell him there\'s no such thing as Tekken 4" (in a serious voice, not trying to trick me or anything. )  Then they boy told me that they had Tekken 2, but that was it.  THIS WAS AT A NAMCO ARCADE!  And all of the Nickel Cades don\'t have Tekken 4 yet, so I\'m completely out of like right now.  I am going to go complain to Namcoman and Spyderman and try to get a Tekken 4 around here.

I\'ve never had this problem before.  I think the arcades in my state are going downhill.

It\'s an eyeball being grasped by a claw-like thing...

i was reading some post at EC.com and it seems there are a few ways around the 1,2 abuse. it can be side steped but the timeing is rather difficult acording to most. you can also use some of the quicker ws moves to stop it. the thing is this info contradicts what the koreans and jap players have said. as most of them said 1,2 could not be side steped and that it recovered to quickly for ws moves to work. most americans are saying that 1,2 is indeed cheap and annoying but is in no way a game breaker. people have also said the game has balance problems. right now it seems as though my 3rd favorite character paul is in a league of his own. this may change as people actually learn how to play the game. so far steve seems to be the favorite character for scrubs in many locals on a side note i really like what i have seen in craig that guy looks like a real ass kicker.

Man, I love Sega.

i also think the fact that the back dash has been made much weaker in T4 combined with the small confines of the stages really hurts the game to me. the most important factor in spoting a skilled tekken player is there ability to use advanced movement ie moves like wd/ld/back dash cancel/ inorder to get proper spaceing. T4 on the other hand seems to be about geting in your opponents face and doing moves untill one of you die. the problem is any scrub can do moves. advanced movement on the other hand takes skill and there is little room for movement of anykind in T4.
on a side note the tekken players brought this on them selves by always crying about turtles boo hoo you want stand there and let me hit you. so to all those people when some scrub is in your face whacking away at the buttons and your forced to just stand there and block i sure hope your happy. well you could start mashing buttons just like them gee that sounds fun. haveing said all that i am not giveing up on this game yet.
