What attracts people to the Tekken series?

[jide]

Aye, but for a time, that all changed when loads of people were deserting Tekken 4 in the arcades ( cos it was a let down) and turned to VF4.

Btw, I will be at casino this weekend for some Final Tuned.

To be quite frank the Tekken Community think the last two installments of Tekken have been a bit


Seems Namco have fixed the problem with T5 DR

I'll try and make it down. Are you going on Friday evening perhaps ?

[Kongster]

Yeah, I should down be at Casino from 5:00pm onwards on Friday.

I need to start training up in preparation for VF5.

I find the comment abt TK being in ur face more so than VF to be VERY weird because in high lvl play, we know TK to be quite the opposite. Run away, wait....punish a whiffed attack, wait....rinse repeat.

Turtling fest, huh?

I was on about presentation and music wise, more so with part II. With its awesome intro and blasting music tracks it just looked and sounded more cool than VF II at the time, Plus the fact it was easier to pull off impressive moves, where as in VF II one had to work hard to pull off the big moves .

Kongster...yeah....it's a shame. TTT were so exciting to watch in comparison to TK5/DR. I mean, for sure at the end of the day, taste is a subjective matter. I know a few ppl that prefers TK4 over everything else! But there's quite a # of us out there that just hopes for Namco to get it right again.

Team Andro: gotcha, my bad. Sorry ^^

Before you get really upset I meant PRESENTATION WISE!!!
To be good at both games Tekken and VF you have to become in your words train spotterish...

It goes for any fighting game worth it's salt..

not upset just putting my opinion across

I supose your right about the learning curve thing i myself spent a good few hours trying to perfect kings five grab combo.

I personally am a Virtua Fighter man, so my comments may seem a bit biased, but on another note what was so wrong about tekken 4? Sure it looked pretty enough; was it the fighting system?

In my mind the fighting in Tekken was always slower and more sluggish compared to VF. But thats a discussion for another thread.

Would it be fair to say that Tekken is easier to get into than VF? (Jus to clarify, i use VF to compare to Tekken because at the time when these fighters were in their hey day, nothing came close to them - thinking about it now nothing does today, well maybe soul cali, maybe.....)
