I can't wait to get it. I don't care what anyone says, Tekken rocks my cock the right way. Bam!

sweet HD now-gen fighting animals rock.

I've just never liked Tekken, I always just felt that it was a fighter that came out when the 'big guns' weren't very strong in the genre. I rank Tekken noticeably below Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, and Virtua Fighter... Hell I might even put Dead or Alive above it.

I'm in the boat with the people who say that Tekken becomes less fun and a tad broken the deeper you get into the game. Its not that Tekken isnt newcomer friendly... its just, well, never been that great (outside of Tag)

I concur that tag was the best installment of the series, but I also agree with the point that Tekken is only rivaled in its complexity by Virtua fighter, which is probably the most in depth fighting game ever made. (and then there is always Super Smash Bros. Melee, which had the widest array of possibilities for combat situations any game has ever had)

I've always felt Street Fighter, while a fun party game, was never anything I could get into. It's always been a cartoony version of a true fighting game. Cloned characters, no point to fighting styles except for animations; bleh.

I'll take me some Tekken anyday.

Played it at an arcade, let me tell you guys it isn't different from the others. Kinda boring as well.

Tekken 3 was awesome, the extra modes like the beach ball mode was kickass. If you use Gon, you're a fucking dirty cheater.

I look forward to the FNF ass kickings when this drops.

Meh. Between Street Fighter IV, the upcoming King of Fighters XII and BlazBlue, Tekken 6 has very little chance of getting much playing time.

To all the people saying Tekken is a "noob game", you are so wrong.

It's way more complex than any Capcom fighter...

Its a nutty year for fighters.

But tekken is my baby. I'll be there playing it even if nobody else is.

No, they're included in my statement too. Sure, button mashing with them is flashy and looks cool but it's probably even less likely to net you a win against a good player than with other characters.

Every one of their strings that come out when mashed have telegraphed lows in them. So all you have to do is *block, block, low-parry, juggle* and you win.

Lol at people saying the deeper you get into the fighting system the more broken it gets. Shows what you know, the fact that you think 10 strings are "higher level play" proves of your ignorance. 10-strings are meant for casual players such as yourselves who like to brag to their neighbours that you can pull one off.

If you actually do a 10-string against a half decent player, you will be ridiculed and laughed at continuously.

And the reason why most of you dont notice the differences with each instalment is because you are not familiar with the gameplay in the first place. All you guys probably do is buttonmash.

And this argument that tekken never changes can be applied to all the fighters; streetfighter, Virtuafighter, King of Fighters. Soul Calbur and Guilty Gear.

Hell, Streetfighter has had the same damn 5 moves for each character for the last 12 years, I dont see anyone complaining about that.

Also, if Tekken was so broken it would not be apart of all the EVO tournaments that have been held and Tekken 6: BR would not be the #1 most played fighter at Japanese and Korean arcades, yes its played and enjoyed more as a competitive game in Asian more so than SF4.

Before you guys try commenting on something, try to educate yourselves first otherwise you come off as an ignorant idiot. That goes for you as well Dyson.

Killervibe hit the nail on the head. I'm a lover of all fighting games, and to see people talk so ignorantly about one franchise is so funny to me.

Street Fighter IV... the actual producer and reviewers claimed how easy the game was to get into because it played so much like Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Same can be said with Guilty Gear X series, KOF, Virtua fighter.

Why would you even want a fighting franchise to change so much that it becomes something else entirely. I play Virtua Fighter to play virtua fighter. I don't want Air combos and hadoukens in that game. When I play Street Fighter I want to be able to flashy techniques and chain together normal attacks through mastering the frames of the game I don't want Dial-a-combos like KOF XI has.

You just have these fanboys from other franchises who don't know the first thing about the fighting mechanics of another franchise and then jump to the conclusion that it takes no skill to play said game because they got their ass whooped by a button mashing Eddy Gordo just because they don't know how to Block or low parry.

I love Street Fighter IV and the nostalgia it brings along with it's Focus attacks/cancels. I'm going to love Blazblue since it's a fresh new game yet it borrows heavily from Guilty Gear. I'll love KOF XII because of Critical counters and it's claim of being a reboot of a well loved series.

But really I hope to run into people online who think know a damn 10 hit combo is the apex of Tekken skill... Because when you come at me in Tekken 6 with a 10 hit combo I'm going to low parry, bound you and Juggle you across the screen and up against a wall for 12 or so hits before your character lays on the ground; where I will probably kill you ground game due to people of this calibur not taking the time to know when to get up and when not to get up. The first thing those people are goign to say after a beating like that, "this game is cheap." Just because they can't effectively throw escape, constantly juggle, or parry.

The same as a low calibur Street Fighter IV player whining about cross ups Focus cancels... or throws for that matter.

Either they will get frustrated or finally learn to play the game. Because I guarantee that most of the people posting here don't even know that Tekken has had a low parry system for ALL characters since Tekken 3.

In the end.. if this was a some other quality fighting game being bashes such as SF or GG or VF I would be defending it just the same way because I truly am a fan of the genre. The same as 90% of all 360 owners love 1st/3rd person shooters. I don't know what PS3 owners like.

Tekken is my shit. I've been a fan of the franchise ever since I first playedd tekken 2 on ps one. I been hooked ever since and every game of the genre so far has fallen short of it in my eyes. I'll definately be getting this one when it comes out. Hell, I per- ordered it 3 months ago...

Ohhhh boy oh boy oh boy.....

I am also a huge fan of the fighting genre, and I honestly find it silly to continually compare one game to the next, versus just appreciating the variations of fighting techniques they all individually provide us. I mean, seriously...2d fighting vs 3d fighting...causes massive differences. Both sfiv and tekken can be incredibly defensive games, just in two completely different ways...I think that should be painfully obvious.

I will admit though. I always had a lot of trouble with tekken. I'm am certainly not a veteran, probably never will be, but i still love it all the same. Yes, tekken is a game i have put down in frustration plenty, but instead of just saying "this is a clusterfuck of button mashing...If i cannot execute a 10 hit combo I'm useless, so what's the point?" Uhm...no...no, no, no. Instead I searched online battles of true tekken players who've dedicated their time and patience into mastering all tekken has to offer...and it's been very endearing! Seeing the possibilities only makes me work harder on my defense and timing. I defiantly don't consider Tekken a beginner friendly fighter, not if you plan on going head to head with people online. So anyone with a lack of patience will probably give tekken the cold shoulder and turn to more adaptable games such as SFIV. Don't get me wrong. I love me some street fighter! Just for completely different reasons.
