Yea it's always like this:
Korea = Tekken
Jap = SF/Virtua Fighter/Doujin Fighters
America = MvC2, SF, Tekken, Smash Bros.
I could be missing some but i'm just going off what the popularity are in said regions.
Hwoarang is actually a pretty cool character, and even though I love the tekken series, I kinda doubt 6 is better than SF4. But I haven't played either, so who knows.
This is the first time I've heard that I'm obligated to play this game. I know I missed out on Starcraft, but this will break my mothers heart...
HOLY JESUS LOOK AT THOSE MACHINES!
I live in korea and i play Tekken 6 at IPARK, the floor abov the movie theater.
I think I finally have the upper hand against him using Bob, bob is such a fucking powerhouse.
Oh, and in the above post, "him" is my friend, he really got me into competitive tekken play :P
Thats awesome. I'm blown away that anyone can think SFIV characters are any less ridiculous than Tekken's, but whatever.
@ Paulink
Cool dude I'm in Gwangju...haven't found it in any arcades here but they all kinda suck :( That rules that it's in Seoul...need to make the 3 1/2 hour bus trip sometime
@Dementor
I kinda agree...I wouldn't have minded a new haircut for Guile in SFIV...but a panda bear, super tall blond hair dude, and leopard-face-man are way cheesier than anything in the Street Fighter universe.
@ Noah and Demtor
Uh yea, I would have to say that the fucking panda bear takes the cake.
Every time I see a competitive Tekken vid like the one you posted, I just cringe at the silly juggle combos that they pull off. I mean at least make it look impressive like MvsC2. And it always bothered me how kicking someone on the ground is a legitimate strategy in Tekken. Too bad T6 hasn't made any attempt to evolve the series at all.
MvC2 isn't impressive, it's silly broken game that the american hardcore crowd considers a good game.
yet 1 combo/juggle in Tekken and everyone bitches. and people wonder why no one outside of America really cares about MvC2.
Shin, people bitch because the juggle combos in Tekken seem out of place. At least in the SF vs. series games (and IV to an extent), the juggles look intentional. It doesn't seem right when your character is perpetually suspended in midair because he is being kicked in the ankles.
Tekken seems to have an ongoing identity crisis in the fighting game genre. It can't decide whether it wants to be realistic or silly, reward button mashing or reward precise technical skills. Namco needs to step it up.
Haha, okay. Fair enough.
Pardon me, Shin. I'm from the U.K and I love MvsC2. Its one of Capcom's finest games, IMO.
Watching that video of Tekken 6, doesn't make me want to run out and buy it. Nothing new enough to entice me, and it shows Namco need to overhaul this series.
Juggling always made Tekken a No.2 game, and with no chance of recovery from that makes it a frustrating play.
Can't wait til MvsC2 hits Live/PSN.
