Tekken 5 coming to Xbox and Gamecube

[Bobs_Hardware]

Man it\'d be great to challenge all you guys. I can pretty much go 50-50 with all the best players at my local arcade (located upstairs in the shopping centre where I work) except for one guy who I just can not beat no matter how many times I try. I\'ve seen him get beaten by players I can beat, but.. ugh!

It\'s hard work catching up with players who have played non-stop for years and know ALL of the most powerful combos/juggles with every damn character. Getting your ass handed to you by Testujin is always embarrassing. But always fun. :D

p.s. I\'d hardly call Paul a cheap character. Sure you can basically kill someone with a well times Death Fist followed up with a charge, once you get more advanced with him, he\'s almost impossible to hit. I use his sway motion to great effect to dodge almost every high attack/grab attempt thrown at me. And of couse swaying back, hitting LP on a counter hit smashing them into the air and then deathfisting them before they hit the ground is still the coolest looking move in Tekken. Besides perhaps Paul/Laws custom tag combo which always brings out a "holy shit" whenever you hit someone with it. Along with Jin\'s WGF - uf,n,4 - 14 - df44

I mostly use Kazuya, Jin, Paul, Law, Tetsujin, Heihachi, Jun, Bruce, Bryan, Devil, Wang, Lee oh hell, most everyone except for the girls who I haven\'t gotten around to learning, and the King\'s.

heh yea ive been fiending for some good tekken lately myself

but as of late ive been on Guilty Gear XX Reload at the arcade here

been learning Zappa since so few people use him i want to make him my best - amazing the shit one can do with Zappa if you know how

but in tekken gotta say lei, devil, julia, christie/eddy non mash style lol, and mushima family - play with everyone well just rather play with some more then other oh and favorite combo in tag was armor king and king - ungoddly dmg with those grapples - heh rolling chicken :P

Never had any respect for someone who spent all their time trying to get you into one of King\'s chains..

Luckily you can just duck most of the time (which will leave you open to his crouching grapple if your opponent is smart) so you can destroy them with juggles after that.

Bobo - about the one guy you cant beat - Its probably just a mental thing. That or technique style. It happens all the time with me or at least it used to. There are certain things that you dont do that a lesser or w/e player may do that the other is weak against mentaly or technique wise.

I guess its kinda hard to explain w/o going into some long drawn out thing.

Nice to see there are more XX players Sublime. Zappa is indeed crazy if you know how to use him - i never was able to. There arent too many characters that are completely imbalanced in that game. Though i must say that i hate testament and i used to hate anji. Im sure there are more characters i dont like but i just cant get into testament (using him that is).

A couple of days ago i saw some intense battles between a baiken player and a may player - it was my first time seeing a GG arcade. If only we could all play. Im dying for some control stick compettition.

No player is "cheap"  only people that can\'t beat them bitch about lame crap like that.

If you can\'t beat Paul, don\'t bitch when the guy next to you chooses him, if you can.. What’s the problem???

I personally play all characters, mainly Jin, Paul,  Kazuya, heihachi, King, Law and Bryan. If anyone calls me cheap for a character i choose, and I’ve pretty much heard every person i play say a certain character is "cheap" and its pretty much all of them lol, but mainly eddy / christie.
Then they can kiss my ass and learn to fight against the "cheap" characters, because i just can\'t see ANY reason to call a character cheap unless you have problems fighting against them.

If you want a good challenge, i\'m sure booby and me would give you one.

Bah I can beat an opponent in Tekken4 without much of a problem although I find Paul more challenging in TTT.The thing is I am bored of players choosing Paul and performing the same moves.And if he gets lucky once and hits you with Paul\'s trade mark punch in TTT then almost half of your life bar goes down, sends you a distance and then runs at you to get you.
They all do the same shit.They use no tactics.Paul\'s standard chain combos are easily avoidable every time they perform it though.

I rarely find good tekken players that stand out as much as you guys.

Almost every Tekken player in cyprus chooses king or Paul.
I used to find some challenging TTT players years ago but now I hardly find anyone even playing fighting games at the arcades.(they tend to fill every arcade with modified XBOX\'s now and everyone is playing FIFA on it or some other non-challenging XBOX games.HOW BORING)
They also stopped spending time with since Tekken4 appeared because their previous tactics are less effective

I remember beating someones ass all the time in Tekken4,then tried to challenge me in TTT using Paul(just like most people in my country).All he did where the basic ground chain combos with Bake and Paul\'s trade mark punch in TTT.So far I ve never seen anyone performing cool jaggling combos.I beat the shit out of him just with less ease than in T4

I am so dissapointed I cant get better because I rarely find the chance to play against somene and its been a long time since I had a good fight so I suck badly now.I simply cant get better just playing againts  the stupid CPU

I just hope some day I ll be able to get online with Tekken and play against good players like you guys and have my ass kicked

Im by no means a tekken master and for the longest time i hated tekken tag - Then for some odd reason i started to like it. *shrugs*

In the other tekkens i usually play as hworang but in tag i love Jun and then the other character varies.

I like the combination of Jin and Heihachi in Tag.

Btw:Years ago I downloaded a video from Zaibatsu with Jin appearing as Devil Jin in the arcade version but I ve never seen this in real life.
He looks just like normal Jin except that he emitsan elctrifying efect and his health bar is continuously reduced but his hits are more powerful.

Anyone managed to play as Devil Jin?

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

Yep, simply choose Heihachi as your tag partner then press Back + L/R punch together as jin does his defensive technique quickly press Right punch, Right Punch, Left kick.  You will now be devil Jin.. He only has a few moves and if you block or do any attack that isn\'t one of them he will no longer be Djin. I can\'t remember the moves because its been a long time since i\'ve played TTT.  

If this isn\'t what you\'re talking about then i have no idea.

I think that must be it.The video hinted that you must have heihachi with you although it didnt explain how you become Devil Jin.In the video whoever was controlling Jin was doing lots of superb combos while remaining in Devil Jin state.He must be one hell of a master if he performed all the right moves so fluently while remaining in that state.
Check it out.The video was in Zaibatsu from the arcade version of Tag.
 My PS2 currently doesnt play Tekken Tag to try it since it has problems reading CD format disks.

Popped in Tekken4 though after a long time due to studying and no friend to play against...Boy how I suck now!!!  

[Bobs_Hardware]

Don\'t be so hard on yourself Uni.. you probably always sucked.

I\'ve been trying to get the people I work with to get into Tekken Tag, but despite the fact that I teach them moves and juggles, they refuse to listen and continue to button bash. BAH!

I really think there is NOTHING better in gaming than when a group of really great Tekken players get around a machine for an hour or two and just try to beat eachother.

How DARE you insult ME!!
THIS IS WAR!If only I could challenge you in a Tekken fight

[Evi]

If only we ALL could challenge each other in a Tekken fight, that would kick some @ss =)

You\'re talking about Jin\'s Omen Stance(aka Devil Jin Possesion). It\'s been a while since I\'ve popped in TTT, but I believe you have to have Heihachi as your partner to use this.

• First use the Lightning Field: b+1+2
• Then quickly press 2,2,3 in the middle of the Lightning Field\'s animation. And then you\'ll be in Jin\'s Omen Stance.

From here, you can use an upgraded EWGF and TGF that both electify and damage the opponent a tad when guarded, a more powerful Stonehead, Hellsweep, and Corpse Thrust(my favorite)and a new chain combo that does about 7 hits if I remember correctly.

His TGF, and Hellsweep are basically just like Heihachi\'s. In fact, he takes Heihachi\'s fighting pose when he goes into Omen. All of his Omen-exclusive moves take a bit of your vitality every time you use them.

You pretty much summed it up right there...
