[SOLID]

Yosimitsu

think I spelt that wrong but I can kick lee's ass in seconds

[Adam]

KING! KING WILL DESTROY YOU ALL WITH HIS PRO-WRESTLING!

You can't help but love a 200 pound, two meters tall Luchador wearing a jaguar mask who growls and snarls whenever he applies a submission hold or slams somebody.

HE'S THE KING!

[Kof_Andy]

There all unique and special in different way, but since I'm a TKD instructor, my favor goes to Hworang, and Baek. There kicking combination is god like! I like Lei also, he got some of the best trick, like 540 roundhouse, butterfly, back handspring, and a butterfly twist kick which is awsome. Eddy Gordo still got the most trick tho, but I hate capoeria..... thats just me.

[47Ronin]

Heihachi Mishima, don't ask. :D

[wayofthedragon]

Eddy Gordo, and of course, Forest Law

[SteveJKDUK]

Mine has to be Paul Phoenix cos hes easiest to play, and I still remember his ten hit combos! :D

[saikyou]

Paul Phoenix

[kobudo_tob]

Tobias Reece.......oh wait, have I got this wrong? :D

[Cain]

I bet it was "Cain" that you mean Tob :D

Mine is Law for obvious reasons ;)

|Cain|

[Kwajman]

That picture looks like Elvis...

[tonymok125]

When I played it, which has been a while now, but I used to know all of King's multiparts, and all of Yoshimitsu's 10-hit combos! I was unstoppable!!!! Also I got pretty good with Lin Xiao Yu, she kicks ass!!!

:D :D

[Trent Tiemeyer]

I don't lose with Bryan.

*Fisherman Slam's this thread*

[Siu Mui Fa]

IMHO from Tekken3 and TT it would probably be Jin Kazama. My favorite though would actually be Nina.

[Tatsumaru]

Tekken........painful memories :(

I always got beat by my mate at tekken cos he played non-stop, and then i focused and got amazing with one character, Jin. Finally i could beat him, and then came Tekken 4..........


"Jin has learned a new style of karate after shunning Mishima style"


NOOOOOOO, all my hardwork for nothing, the b****rd had changed all his moves and i couldn't do anything with him, once again i was forced to hang my head in shame.

Curse You Tekken!!!!

[Nrv4evr]

jin, by far, is the ultimate ownage machine. at least in tekken tag. steve fox is awesome though. who could of that adding in dodges makes him the most lethal character?

[Song1]

Yoshimitsu was my favorate character. how could you not love that guy. he had so many different designs aswell. some i really didn't like though

[Cougar_v203]

Julia cuz shes hot and its nice to look at her...did i just say that ;).

[Lanakin]

Martial Law! (Lei Law?)

What about that other dancing orange-Gi wearing person.. Lee... Or something. Did backflips and junk. Haven't played in a while.

My favorite character EVER was Jin. His super spin-kick combo thing owned.

:woo:

[Hannibal]

Bryan Fury - non of this "triple flip super fly fire spinning kick" rubbish! Straight in, punch the crap out of 'em, straight back out. My kind of fighter!!!

[Poop-Loops]

I liked most of the characters from Tekken. Don't really have a favorite.

PL

[Guy Mendiola]

Eddy Gordo,Christie Monteiro,Jin,Kazuya,Heihachi,Steve Fox,Craig Marduk, and Bryan Fury.

[Furikuchan]

Xiaoyu. Hands down. She's so bloody fast, and her style is strange enough that you can't be sure of where her attacks are coming from.

[wcrevdonner]

No, no, no. I spent the best part of a year and a half at uni, avoiding lectures like the plague, playing Tekken 3 against a very good opponent, and found that PAUL PHOENIX was the best; he has counter moves, and very rarely do you find those characters who could do counter counters against Pauls counters...He has nice simple moves that work, and they have a nice unpredictability. I LOST TO NO-ONE!!!!!!

Anyone fancy a challenge...

[Nrv4evr]

i don't want to start any new argument here, but paul phoenix is only good because all of his moves are pretty cheap. think about it. burning deathfist is quicker than jin's lightning uppercut, and it does more damage. the same could be said for his other moves. all i'm saying is, you shouldn't consider paul phoenix to be the greatest just because his moves are easy to pull off and do insane amounts of damage.

[Guy Mendiola]

You got a point and also that's all power attacks.

[Infesticon #1]

You're on.

I am the master of Paul Phoenix.

[Cougar_v203]

i'm teh undisputed champion with ogre :D

[Shortfuse]

iswear almost everyone is the best once they get you in thier trap, julia with her powr hits, king with takedowns, law with his flips,paul with his hamer punch and others, jin in his low hit followed by a high hit manuevers, heihachi in his floating moves and ecetra

[Shortfuse]

his moves are strong , im always ready to block or pivot with him . you need to be careful

I spent 10 months with this game i think i kno who can do what

[Infesticon #1]

er. Who cares that they're cheap?
are they cheap? or are they just better?

Paul is unequivicobabsbababably the besterest.

you don't want to know how long I've been playing Tekken games + computer games in general.

no character can be better! then what wiuld be the point of the others? suporting roles?

[Flying Shadow]

I'm trying to play tekken again, don't have a ps2 though so I'm trying to use an emulator.

Oh yeah and the best Tekken Character is by far Kazuya Mishima. Gotta love that Mishima style Karate.

[Adam]

Am I the only one being annoyed at the fact that a 90 pound chinese schoolgirl can keep a 200 pound wrestler floating in the air by doing limp wristed slaps in the Tekken games?

[Infesticon #1]

hahahaha, that kind of thing isn't just part of tekken though. It's in the VF series of games and doa. There aren't any other decent fighting games are there?


if paul phoenix, bryan fury (lolz) and heihachi aren't better then why do they kick so much arse?

[Freeform]

Paul, Bryan and Heihachi!

None of this nancy boy back-flip crap, just lots of punching, throws and the odd broken neck!

Yeah Baby! :D

[Sauron9949]

Maybe i'm a little biased towrds the TKD guy but i like Hworang, he can be simple to use and also some complicated and slick looking moves.

Jin and Eddy follow.

Sauron

[Lanakin]

Jin! And.. Umm.. That other guy with the silver short hair.. Dunno who that is. On Tekken Tag, I'd go to the arcade with a single quarter and play that for about an hour. Then I'd go over to that asteroids game and waste 5 bucks on 30 minutes. Jin could beat Paul-y's arse any day, just so long as the roof wasn't too low.

:woo:

[Tribalweapon]

I have to say that my three favorite characters are Eddy Gordo, Hwaorang, and Jin. Eddy is easy to use and uses the fancy stuff that, at 6'5 335lbs, I'll never be able to do. Hwaorang is good when it comes to dodging and countering a move, plus his kick combos go on forever. And Jin.......Jin is just bad ass!!!

[Nrv4evr]

er. Who cares that they're cheap?
are they cheap? or are they just better?

Paul is unequivicobabsbababably the besterest.

you don't want to know how long I've been playing Tekken games + computer games in general.

no they're cheap... honestly, pressing back and punch+kick to do 100 damage in a 5 second time frame is cheap. a 60 damage punch with the speed of a jab is illegal. to be really good, you should master the chinese martial artist. she has like 500 moves, and all are harder to pull off than most people's specials.

[Lanakin]

You mean Xioua or whatever... The only other I can think of is Chun-Li, who just happens to come from Street Fighter, lol.

First of, Paul is way too slow. I also don't like his hair. So I'm never him. Jin will rip him apart, and I can usually take down most of the tekken characters with minor injuries, usually full health or a bit above half. My other favorite I forgot to mention was Law. He was like the Bruce Lee of Tekken. I like to think of his arch rival as Lei (AKA Jackie Chan), but I never got why Lei didn't just take out his 9mm and shoot the guy. :confused:

:woo:

:woo:

law is probably faster than bruce, so he should be able to dodge a bullet. bryan fury, though, could take a cougar magnum to the gut, so a 9mm does nothing in this world.

[TheMachine]

mine would have to be Hwoarang, Jin and Eddy

I heard from a friend that the style Jin is currently using is shotokan, cam anybody enlighten me on this? Also, what style does Heihachi resemble most? I know the game says Mishima style but what major or minor form of karate does it resemble most?

[Shortfuse]

yea its odd...

just wondering...what is the major difference between shotokan and the other forms of karate? and heihachi still reminds me of okinawa. all the strikes and just pure punching power....

[Infesticon #1]

ok. the blazing fist is a power move, most of the characters have a power move, if you get hit by it then it's your problem.

Eddy is the cheapest char. he's a real button mashers fave. just like Hwoarang.

Xiaoyu is quite good, and don't forget the williams sisters, they have some truly devastating combos.

Paul actually has quite a lot of depth, it's not my problem if you don't want to discover it.

[Flying Shadow]

Yes I'm pretty sure Jin is doing Shotokan.

For 2 reasons...

1. I've got a video of him doing the Heian Yondan Kata. Which you can download from here: http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/tekken4/download.php?file=t4_embu_2.zip&desc=Second%20EMBU

2. Also since the game is made by mainly Japanese, making Jin (the protagonist more than anyone) learn Shotokan makes a lot of sense.

[Shortfuse]

yea i think he does shotokan also

[Sonshu]

Brian Fury!

Paul actually has quite a lot of depth, it's not my problem if you don't want to discover it.Well, If you think of it Paul is the most cheapest character because of all his power attacks but his counters are very good.

[Shortfuse]

what of julia! i hate her when shes on the hardest mode

[Infesticon #1]

seriously man. WTF? why does having powerful attacks make you cheap?

cheapness is all to do with how you play the character.

[Shortfuse]

seriously man. WTF? why does having powerful attacks make you cheap?

cheapness is all to do with how you play the character.

if there were a character whose attack takes you out in one hit, is that not cheap? im not saying paul is cheap, hes just someone who you cant afford to take a hit from. like eddy, hes not cheap but just someone who you can let get to the ground, at least thats what i do, never give him a chance to lay his butt on the ground.

[Infesticon #1]

my point is, the wind up to that specific attack is about 1 second, if that's not enough time to do something you deserve to die.

Brian also has power attacks, as does heihachi + hwoarang + Xiaoyu + most of them I think.

[Nrv4evr]

the point is that you're missing the point (try saying that fast...) anyways, if all you do is rely on power moves, or in paul's case, all you HAVE is power moves, then you're not a real martial artist. if you want pointless attacks that are effective and require absolutely no skill at all to pull off except timing, then by all means use him. but if you're a true fighter, with any sense of decency and honor, then use a player that actually requires skill to master. *cough* xiaoyu *cough*. another great player to master is steve fox. it's amazing how many combo's you can pull off from his sway arts.

oh and BTW, none of the people's power attacks are anywhere close to paul's speed of attacks. there's a point where you can neither dodge the attack nor counter it. catch-22, anyone?

[Shortfuse]

Brian also has power attacks, as does heihachi + hwoarang + Xiaoyu + most of them I think.


forgot all about brian :D, Xiaoyu and hwoarangs moves are a bit to obvious to detect for me and i dont enjoy using hwoarang but i like ling's moves. brian is just good. try a steve fox pro vs. a hwoarang expert i would bet on steve.

[Guy Mendiola]

Steve Fox is another fave. character of mine and it's just timing with the bobbing & weaving and I mean like there should be dodging techniques and there should be evasive techniques for the two Capoeirista's Eddy and Christie.

[KungFuMaster]

I do tae kwon do myself, so obviously hwoarang was the first play i was going to get good with, but his kicks are so cool, i'm the best the him, i'm just so great, hwoarang's the best, only lose against paul and his counter attacks, damn that long haired tramp!!

[Infesticon #1]

this is like talking with a brick wall, are you unable to grasp the single fact that the cheapness is dependant on who's controlling them?

Heihachi is more powerful than Paul. As is Kuma/panda.

he actually does have skillful moves :eek: it's not my problem if you refuse to accept that, similarly if you refuse to accept the fact that xiaoyu isn't the bee's knees. Jin is definately better than xiaoyu, same for Kazuya.

[Shortfuse]

Heihachi is more powerful than Paul. As is Kuma/panda.

hehachi can be so annoying , you cant give him a break or he will get you bad. same with kuma/panda. its like a giant wall that low kicks. :D

[Nrv4evr]

i could say the same for you. maybe you like paul phoenix, and think you're the greatest. just don't get pissed off when a button masher noob kicks your ass. and BTW, name one, just one attack (not combo), that involves more than 4 button presses?

[Guy Mendiola]

I don't button mash because I just stick to more combo's instead of pressing the same button.

[Shortfuse]

you could create your own combos. with jin i just make up what seems logical low hit, high hit, high hit, low hit. whatever is open and i stay on a roll until at least half of his life or more is gone.

[Guy Mendiola]

I've created some moves from diffrent characters in Tekken 4 and i'm sorta making it into a more efficient move set.

[Infesticon #1]

i could say the same for you. maybe you like paul phoenix, and think you're the greatest. just don't get pissed off when a button masher noob kicks your ass. and BTW, name one, just one attack (not combo), that involves more than 4 button presses?


what on earth are you talking about?

it's generally parts of chain combos/throws that have the 4 button press moves


why press 5,6,7 buttons to do one move?

I'd like to see a button masher try it, any high/mid attack will result in a counter smack down.

[Shortfuse]

i ust replayed tekken with my cousins and found two things out

1) paul is hard to use without trying to be cheap(with burning fist and another move only) hes not as easy to use as the computer or someone ho knows how to use him makes it out to be.

2) Ling Xiaoyu is one of my favorite characters, fast enough and her moves from the pheonix position are very unpredictable and her combos, even if you make it up on your own, can almost be endless or her moves can follow right after another, even when you just string her multiple hit techs together.

[Nrv4evr]

i'm talking about stuff like jin's dragon uppercut, which involves like f, f/d, hp, lp...stuff like that. anyway, back on topic here. other than jin, hwoarang, and steve, i'd say lee/violet is pretty good, but only cause his kicks are so incredibly annoying. throws you off your game.

[Shortfuse]

, i'd say lee/violet is pretty good, but only cause his kicks are so incredibly annoying. throws you off your game.

lee is one of the best characters , my best at leasti dont even like to use him anymore because he is too good. the only chracter i never forgot how to use.
with hitman, blaznig kick, his punches that remind me of laws, shaolin spin kicks and those four low kicks in a row that end in a hitman stance and his backwards spring kick into hitman hes too good.

[Infesticon #1]

the moves with a delay part in?

Heihachi's spinning low kick thingy is the daddy of those, if you do it right you can put the jumping uppercut onto the end. Jin and Kazuya only have 1 low kick and then the mid kick I think.

+ Jin and kazuya can add a low kick or a mid kick onto the landing of the jumping uppercut.

so For paul I guess the relevant nice combo would be bk * bk/down down x square o.

that one's nice, he also has different punches from that backwards slide the bk * bk/down down bit gives you.




players that always give me a problem are

Nina the fastest low kicker in the game
Eddy, such an erratic movement it's hard to time counters a constant button masher favourite, ultimate 1000 cuts of death player.
Gon
Dr. B

those last 2 really are flaming poop.

[Shortfuse]

i like xiaoyu the most still. hehachi requires too much skill to master, and sometimnes i really dont want to see a 75 y/o man in a thong( dont worry i know what it is) i like kazuya hes good. i dont know why bt i absolutely hate nina for no reason in particular.

[FortuneFaded]

Defitnly Defitnely, Eddy

I'm undefeatable with eddy. Muahahah.

Whilst forest law and lee? the police man are excellent.

Heck, mawing people to death with panda is fun

[Pro Killer]

Paul Paul Paul Paul!

[Guy Mendiola]

i like xiaoyu the most still. hehachi requires too much skill to master, and sometimnes i really dont want to see a 75 y/o man in a thong( dont worry i know what it is) i like kazuya hes good. i dont know why bt i absolutely hate nina for no reason in particular.Yeah, The Ninja is called Yoshimitsu and he's not bad but I really like Heihachi's counter when he does that sorta looking circular block then he can counter the move.

[CiNdY]

i think xiaoyu is definately one of the best... not strong but her movements when controlled properly she's invincible.. i guess thats correct with all the characters tho :p

equally i like lee but his movements are very limited... linear... he's not the best developed character there is and thats very saddening.. cause he's one of the fastest too..

[Guy Mendiola]

Xiaoyu has good combination techniques if done properly and make her that's what makes her invincible.

[CiNdY]

oui...

yoshimitsu.. not one of my faves but he's all berserk with his moves where he sacrifices his own hp... or hops onto his sword... or spins around and wildly moves about :D :eek:

[amirul_tekpi79]

peace

i like eddie gordo. very tricky yet dangerous (IMHO, capoiera & silat is similar in this particular aspect)

umm...does anyone know if there'll be a tekken 5 in the making? will there be any new styles? i.e. silat? kalaripayat? savate?

[Shortfuse]

xiaoyu can almost string her differant combos together to seem endless because of her speed and how most of her moves flow into each other. this is how i like to fight in tekken, endless combos and trying to never give them a break carefully.


lee is too good and too fast no one i play with ever uses him anymore because he is too fast and when you master almost all of his moves and are able to apply them all it gets cheap not for th person wh ois fighting lee but for the person playing him.

i still absolutely hate that slut nina though for no good reason. dont like her moves, her clothes or her story, only the fact that in blends with steves

[NeonxBurst]

Though I dont the tekken series but my favorite character is Hworang just because I like his flashy kicks. He's fast and has enough power to demolish any character that gets in his way.:)

[CiNdY]

;) hwaorang is cool.. i could never play as him cause im weid and just.. couldnt.

eddie's cool.. he's a masher character.. could just press the same thing over and over and still win... unless youre on the harder levels where the other CP's finally know when to block at you...

nina... she's a good character if you learn her nearly impossible combos where she does the whole crab jump thing on another character and breaks their arm, leg, hip, and a few other choise limbs in one go... but since no one really learns that (im assuming) then she's also a good masher character... her "blonde bomb" move can just about beat everything if you just do it continuously...

shortfuse.. her moves are apparently bone assassin tecniques with some aikido.. but.. i think her and her sister anna have extremely similar fighting tecniques... cause... anna fits the label for that..

[Shortfuse]

i think hwoarang is slow but i cant play him right

[CiNdY]

i think hwoarang is slow but i cant play him right

he can be quick... personally i think its the old man wang sho gets screwed on the sped aspect :p
i cant play as him because i always get confused with lee's or i make him do the stance change thing all the time on accident and thats usually when i get smacked... i really hate his stance change thing where he shifts from one foot to the other.. thats just me tho...

[Nrv4evr]

i think hwoarang is slow but i cant play him right

what on earth r u talking about? he is every button masher's dream...i don't see how he could be even remotely slow. i got two words: blitz kicks. he unleashes 5 kicks in the span that jin takes to jab.

[Lanakin]

But yet, Jin would lay Hwoarang down in a few seconds.....

:woo:

[Nrv4evr]

But yet, Jin would lay Hwoarang down in a few seconds.....

:woo:

and that's why skill always prevails over cheapness and button mashing ;)

[Shortfuse]

. i got two words: blitz kicks.

its the last kick on the one where you continously press X, if the last kick doesnt hit then you cant link it to a much longer combo. once he finishes the last kick and if it doesnt hit, he pauses to put his leg down after he puts much force into it. t

he four kicks alone arent enough and you need to link it to other combos that im not so familiar with and arent so convinient. if i try to button smah i motion switch if i miss a hit or dont do a good combo he ends up pausing for a millisecond or somthing so he can drop his feet and gives many of the other characters enough time to respond. for me its someone that requires alot more skill to play or master. only some moves about 15 are ones that i think are fast but never can memorize enough to execute quickly enough.

[Nrv4evr]

um...yeah.... :confused:
all i care about is tha fact that someone said he was slow, which he is obviously not. perhaps he moves slowly, but fast attacks more than make up for that.

[Shortfuse]

i probably cant use him which is why i often dont, takes alot of skill on my part to even get close to or win

[aikinoob]

Lei owns when you learn how to switch to snake style. Also, his sidekick will counter any attack if you time it. and don't forget about the headbutt, power up kick, spinning backfist, forward charging combo, just face it. he's the man.

[CiNdY]

i was never a jin fan, but he's still a good character... it sucks horribly for his fans who've spent so much time prefected his moves cause they got "upgraded"... whole new set...

lee and xiaoyu for me :D
but lei is cool too, all his stances...

[Nrv4evr]

lee and xiaoyu for me :D
but lei is cool too, all his stances...

yea that's lei for you. i hate his quick punch that does like 40 damage per hit. i think it was back and wp or something...

[CiNdY]

yeah i like his purple and green robe type thing, i think it looks rather sauve ;)

[Supa Nova]

1.)JIN
2.)KAZUYA
3.)LING XIAOYU

she haz the best combos on the whole of tekken 4
but JIN i use him like a boxer makes him almost invincible

[Shortfuse]

i use jin like a boxer, only know three kicks with him :p

[CiNdY]

jin's got strange eyebrows... but i like how in tk4 kazuya's got badas* skars.

[tonymok125]

Dr. B

Yeah the last 2 are a bit pants, but I would only use them if I was just gonna take the p*** really! Dr B is useless, but I have a blast with Gon!

Haven't played it in ages! Plus Tekken 4 is out on Platinum now, so I may make an investment!

[Guy Mendiola]

Eddy Gordo is by far the best Capoeirista game character that was ever made and unlike the Fatal Fury series there was this one Capoeirista named Bob Wilson and he sucked but Eddy is the best and also Christie Monteiro.

[K93200]

I like Hwoarang his kicks are invincible!

[Lanakin]

But they're blockable. I guess you could still call them invincible. Sure.

:woo:

[Maximicus]

I Rock the Heihachi. Nothing like beating up your op. with a seventy-something yo. man! But the thong (yes, I know it was the origionla karate uniform, still) freaked me out fighing him the first time in T4.

[killbill]

i still havnt finished my project of making gloves like Jin's, i cant find a pair of PLAIN leather gloves, they all have some extra crap or holes or mesh or some crap.

[Infesticon #1]

uh

how about you make the leather gloves as well?
then they will be a perfect fit for your hands...


Also, the first time I so Heihachi in his white pant things I thought he was wearing a nappie (diaper)

[K93200]

I Rock the Heihachi. Nothing like beating up your op. with a seventy-something yo. man! But the thong (yes, I know it was the origionla karate uniform, still) freaked me out fighing him the first time in T4.

I know what you mean about the thong but if anyone asks heihachi can just uppercut the smack out of them.

[com160]

Lei Wulong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maximicus]

Yep Hei will give them his powerbomb for making fun of his sexy outfit.

[matt_991]

my favourite character has to be heihachi mishama

[acarpe]

you can't beat Lei with his Kung Fu style switching modes- go into white crane and fire off that powerful kick! nice

[acarpe]

...but then i would say that wouldnt I

which MA do you reckon the makers of tekken thought was best? jin's shotokan?

[Maximicus]

Well the Mishima family are supposed to be the best, so Mishima-Ryu Karate-do is prob the best represened.

King is really great if you master his combo throws. you can knock off 3/4 of their healthbar in one sequence.

Yoshi is just a freak. Both good and bad. If you face him as a comp. controlled he might whoop you with all his antics. But if you button mash you might literally kill yourself.

*nods*

[TOMcatXENO]

JIN for life in tekken 4 hes unstoppable

[Shortfuse]

i stopped him over 200 times, comp or arcade

[Maximicus]

Hehehe, has anyone ever gotten off that strike yoshi does where he skipps twoard then then cutts downwards taking a big chunk of health? It's just SOOO long, and does the same as Paul's strike that takes half a sec.

[Shortfuse]

its not good on the Str33t, it may be good but its no applicable :D

[oni_sensei]

Hwoarang, plain and simple. If you think you can get away with button-mashing when you use him, it's no wonder that he has a bad reputation. He's all about strategy, pressing random buttons will get you nowhere. He's got the largest standard sidestep in Tekken 3, not to mention that sliding into Flamingo Stance has it's own mini-sidestep, as do the B+RK and B+LK spinning kicks. Sidestepping from Flamingo stance can get you around behind your opponent in one move if you slide into it from the standard position.

Did I mention that his throws look cool?

[Nrv4evr]

it's different in arcades, the distracting asses in the corner, blah. i find the ones with smooth combos, like fdf p, etc. do better in arcades, because of the joystick.

on console, jin and steve are undisputed. the new guy in tekken 5, feng wei looks cool, but jin and steve can't be equalled, with steve edging out because of his sway arts.

[Guy Mendiola]

Yeah, Tekken 5 will be the shiznit out of all the series and I can't wait to play the new three characters when T5 comes out.

[Shortfuse]

i cant wait for tekken 5, tekkan 4 was my first game

[Cougar_v203]

new character list:
african ninja dude <forgot name :\> (looks alot like wesley snipes)
asuka Kazama
that shaolin monk dude
is this correct?

[Shortfuse]

Raven
Asuka Kazama
Feng Wei

anna,that sumo guy and other older characters are returning

[Blevunly]

In tekken tag jin was the best cause he had an almost unbeatable combo but in the other tekkens i would have to say law is the best especially in 4

[Ikken Hisatsu]

i only read to about page 4 before my vision started to turn red. so much lack of knowledge dammit!

bit of background- I've been playing tekken since the day tekken 1 came out on ps1. if you think 10 months or a year makes you good, have a reality check.

secondly, pauls power move SUCKS. the only thing that sucks more is someone who actually gets hit by it. honestly guys, it has hugely obvious wind up. jump over it, or away from it, then smack him afterwards. in fact 90% of the power moves suck with a few exceptions-

Bryans "mini" power move is fast enough to be useful
xiaoyus power move has good range, isnt too slow, and puts her very low to the ground
in tekken tag and 3, jins power move is fast enough and has massive range, as well as ducking high moves, to be effective.
true ogre and ogre have some great unblockable moves.
howarangs power move is GUARANTEED after his sky rocket kick, unless its against a large character like ogre or kuma, or if your opponent hits a roof.
apart from that they suck ass.

as of tekken 4, lei sucks. the power in his moves is pathetic. king is also not as good as he used to be. Jin is by far the best. dont believe me? go watch some vids of championship matches and count how many people are using him. laser scraper and his 1,2 or 2,1 combos>all. his L.L.R.K is also great. in fact, all his moves rock, he has some nice guaranteed moves after his VERY good parry. law has never been the best, but he is one of my favourites for sure. wins on style points :D

10 hit combos are crap. the mishima combos are marginally good, and yoshis are ok, but apart from that they suck ass. pauls is probably the worst, half of the hits are SOOOOO SLOOOOW you would have to be fighting a 4 year old to not get either countered or just punched in the face.

Eddy is masher friendly, but he is also great to play. ive been practicing him for the last few months and he really is fun, and I can beat people without resorting to mashing. you can mash with hwoarang as well if you want, but be prepared to get beaten down by anyone with any skill.

as for my favourite chars.... Bruce from tekken 2 and tag- badass knee and elbow combos and a sweet chain throw that does an easy 55 damage.
Bryan- I love his style of fighting, and his parry is one of the best in the game. also some great and fast power shots.
Jin- Jin has been cool in all tekkens. I dont use him often though because hes too easy to win with.
hwoarang- so much variation! I have been playing hwoarang for a very long time now, and is probably my best char after bryan. people get so frustrated when they fight me, and accuse me of being a masher. they take it back when we rematch and they try mashing with him, and get perfected 3 rounds in a row ;)

[Shortfuse]

hey i have been playing for four years :D :p

i always thought lei sucked but mostly because of the fact that i cant use him :p
i like LLRK and all that but honestly some of jin's moves and xiaoyu's moves burn my thumb.. if i dont play often i will lose most of my skill.

IMO i think pauls power moves dont suck, efven thogh you can get away from all of them, you mess up some times, no ones perfect and they can hit you and its not good when they hit you. Im sure every move for every character is designed to be able to hit someone in some kind of situation

Me, i hate Hwoarang. i cant use him :D, even if i learned all his moves i wouldnt be able to make him flow. hes not for me even if i button smash a beginer has a good chance of beating me. i would win by a hair :p

[Ikken Hisatsu]

no. it is crap. I have _never_ seen anyone of any skill get hit by it. and I have never seen anyone with any skill use it. paul is a good character for sure, top tier especially with his deathfist (sway forward+right punch) and his powerful moves. but his power up unblockable sucks ass.

[tom pain]

On Tekken 3 I was devastating as Hwoarang. Knew every kick combo and annihalted all my friends.

[Guy Mendiola]

In tekken tag jin was the best cause he had an almost unbeatable combo but in the other tekkens i would have to say law is the best especially in 4I like TTT's Jin because he could do reverse catches but in T4 he's way better of course and yeah Marshall Law is better in T4, he sucked in T2.

[wcrevdonner]

ikken my boy, you have a thing or two to learn...

i) Pauls power moves don't suck - all you need to do is time it right and they go flying all the time. but you seem like a, ahem, half decent player. ;) you actually use pauls jab a couple of times to put player off, then use low hit-mid hit combo to put em on ground followed by sissor kick to knock some more off. Back off a touch, and either wait for them to get up, or get in close and use a hammer strike to put em back down again! And the hammer...what a beauty.stops nigh on everything coming through - (nb I talk about Tekken 3)

Regarding yoshi's move where he stabs himself...heres a little tip which you probably know already. (This is to an earlier post!) You smack em up high in the air first, then time him stabbing himself as they fall beside you; if you catch them with the sword then you then it takes away near enough ALL their energy. But its hard to pull off...nigh on useless in a match. Pulled it first time by accident - never had it since...nb I haven't played it in about four years; give me two months and Ill whup all new comers..:D

[Krazy5051]

Kazuya Mishima - owns.

[Nrv4evr]

i find most characters suck against a few characters, and rock against others. for example, jin is amazing against heihachi, xiaoyu, and gun jack, but he sucks when fighting law, paul, or steve fox. the only reason he is able to decisively win is for the user to be awesomely skilled, or it was a mismatch.

[Cougar_v203]

i know that move its funny how it pisses your friend, family, whoever off :D

[clutchdoctor]

My best characters are....Steve and Law...and maybe that one guy with the whiteness/pailness and scare on his face. I like steve because i like to use his bobbing and weaving.

[Cougar_v203]

my best character is Jin and Julia (drools over julia j/k) ;)

[speed_dragon]

dude where did u get that clip from thats friggin awesome

[speed_dragon]

in order from best in my opion PAUL, BRYAN,STEVE FOX(BRITISH BOXER AND LIGHTINING QUICK),KAZUMA(JIN'S DAD), LAW.LEI HAOWRANG, BAEK,VILOE[I]T..IF U CAN USE HIM...I CAN...LING....EDDIE ISCHEAP I HATEHIM!!!,

[Tatsumaru]

if you think you're good with paul and his rubbish power moves then try fighting somebody half decent who can counter......

Me: Wang
You: Paul

i will kick your ass and you will be humiliated by the old man

[Ikken Hisatsu]

speed, i assume you mean tekken 4? yeah. jin is the best. its not even a debate. the proof is in the pudding, go visit a state champs tekken tournament or something and see how many people use him compared to say paul or julia.

[Guy Mendiola]

Wang Jinrey(sp?) against Paul? I guess you should know that Paul can counter also and I agree with Paul having to much power moves which make him cheap and Eddie is not really cheap...Hwoarang is cheap, Usually button mashers take Hwoarang over Eddy because some say Eddy is to hard to use or they don't know how to use him and get their ass kicked.

[Xcentric]

Each character have a diffrent style...so it is complex to answer who is the best character in the game,plus if you are a tekken veteran and you play with 1 character all the time and you know each move and all then the character that you are controllin is most likely the best one because you know all the attacks and the manuevers with this specific character you know what i'm sayin..anyway my favorite tekken character is Hwoarang .

[eonwei]

Either Hwoarang, Yoshimitsu, or Jin Kazama.

[Aldarion]

Hwoarang and Lei

[kevamania]

For a quick game I like using Hworang or Steve(tekken4)
If I started to play seriously probably Jin,good old traditional Karate.
Come to think of it,anyone remember Bruce,he was cool

[Cougar_v203]

I hate steve.
I'm starting to use Marduk more then i have b4

[Shortfuse]

why do you hate steve fox?

[Cougar_v203]

i just hate em, nuff said.

[Guy Mendiola]

The people that who I met hate steve is because he only punches hence he's a Boxer. :)

[Cougar_v203]

i hate him because he's blonde :D j/k

the actual reason why i hate him is because he's annoying..god i wish the mafia had gotten him.

[mcbain]

my 3 best players have to be jin kazama yoshimitsu and king yoshimitsu is my favorite and jin is my 2nd favorite and king is my 3rd favorite.

[mcbain]

yo does anybody remember armor king he was really my favorite when i started playing.

[Nrv4evr]

What's with the Steve animosity? The guy's an amazing fighter, a bit too good in fact. They somehow got this notion that boxers can sway away from a low roundhouse kick... Still, Steve's sway arts are second to none, and they really are great for counter attacks and escaping pins to the wall.

[Shortfuse]

i guess they're implying that boxing is one of the best Martial arts.. is there a beter button smashing character?!!?

[Nrv4evr]

Hwoarang is the rookie button smasher's dream. O, O, O, O, O, O.... Blitz kicks own. :p

Steve actually takes skill to utilize, but a true master is one who can use Xiaoyu. Man, she has at least 400 something combos... :bang:

[Shortfuse]

i love Ling she was my current favorite character! i love all her differant moves, but sonetimes its annoying how some combos may not do as much damage if they arent done right or completed

[Twimyo Jirugi]

Hwoarang and Law are my best. Best moves:

Hwoarang: Hunting Hawk

Law: Frog Man

[Shortfuse]

hunting hawk was always fun to perform :D :D :D

[Ikken Hisatsu]

Hwoarang is the rookie button smasher's dream. O, O, O, O, O, O.... Blitz kicks own. :p

yeah if you are fighting a complete noob who would actually be hit by the most obvious combo in the game

[shaolin_hendrix]

wei wulong is easily the best! law is my second. wei has so many different sub-styles, an law has all those lightning fast combinations!

[Twimyo Jirugi]

hunting hawk was always fun to perform :D :D :D
Especially since the other person is powerless to do anything mid-combo :D

[Jeff]

My fave..LING XIOU rakes of fast counter moves with follow up combos!!!

[glenchuy]

on TTT
jin, julia, law

on T4
jin, lee, kazuya

[glenchuy]

But yet, Jin would lay Hwoarang down in a few seconds.....

:woo:

hwoarang is very good, it's just that there are too many button smashers playing hwoarang and eddy, thus making them look bad.

done correctly, hwoarang's strings are VERY confusing and very unpredictable.

(strings, not 10-hit strings)

[Shortfuse]

for a novice like me, its hard to control him, i cant completely master a character yet, but we'll see in tekken 5 wont we? i wonder do they keep adding new moves?

[Cougar_v203]

to respond to nrv4evr's post

I do hate steve but its not like that..its that I only "HATE" him when I'm fighting against him :D sorry if I didn't make that clear.

[mcbain]

yo,
Kevin,bruce is back in tekken 5

[Cougar_v203]

wasn't Bruce in Tekken 2? (can't remember)

[munkiejunkie]

my best character ever would be law/ yoshimitsu.In tekken 3, i could do a frogman so many times the opponent couldent counter :D

[Cougar_v203]

you spammer :D

[tekkengod]

first off eddy is a button mashing idiot which requires little to no skill to master. simple timing would be about it. King and paul are the best characters and in my opinion are also two of the hardest to master.

[Shortfuse]

i love it when you master eddy, hes way better

[tekkengod]

why do you say that, it shows the inability of the fighter to think on a higher level of tatics and timing, your techniques, timing and most importantly forsight have to be on an unfathomable level to perform with king and paul. eddy as i stated is nothing more than a simple button mashing character and does not deserve to be in the ranks of the tekken champions.

[Ikken Hisatsu]

for people who are poor at teeken, then yeah a mashing eddy is a problem. once you stop being a scrub and learn how to play, anyone who mashes is easy meat. period. I quite like eddy because he is a very technical character, loads of change ups and multiple chains. king is the weakest char in tekken 4 btw, after lei.

[Shortfuse]

im not saying eddy is way better than paul or king.. i meant eddy is a way better character to fight with when you actually know how to use him, when button smashers play, even though its annoying they only perform 4 differant techniques with him, rarely if ever do they even use more effective techniques or at least a tactic

[tekkengod]

yes you're right, i've taken the time to develop counter-eddy strategies. eddy just dosent' do it for me, he seems to be the 'noob' character, along with law. but law is a good character. and just for the record, don't care about tekken 4. its far too slow and many of the players have been complicated. king is weaker {as pointed out} heihachi is slower, and jin isn't even the same character. in these parts. {Ft.Hood TX}
Tekken Tag is the game we play. it retains that speed and timing that i've grown to love about tekken. also learning all the diffrent character combos and stategies for the teams is very entertaining. we hook up the multi tap and play 4 way. lots of fun.
{yes graphically tekken 4 is beautiful. {when does tekken 5 come out?}

[Shortfuse]

tekken tag is good? ive never played that one before :p
i think tekken 5 comes out next spring

[tekkengod]

YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED TEKKEN TAG!!!!!! WOW,= :eek: :cry: :bang:
why not? you haven't experianced life until you've played tag. crawl out of your cave and go buy a copy. NOW. i'm TELLING YOU. DO IT NOW!!! :Angel:
seriously though. great game.

[Shortfuse]

its because they graphics didnt look as good... plus i was alot younger and stupider, apparantly more of the latter according to how good it seems

[tekkengod]

well the graphics aren't as good as 4 but in my opinion very good. oh and i must say u are lucky to be in miami

[Cougar_v203]

oh you mean the state with all them fake palm trees :D j/k


I've gotten sick n' tired of 4 and i'm currently waiting for 5 to come out.

[Ikken Hisatsu]

while I prefer the "mechanics" of T4, tag is a better game overall. the tag system and plethora of characters means theres so much more to it. in T4, theres only a few characters that anyone uses.... gets old. but T5 looks like its going to have about 30 chars, so that should be cool _b

[tekkengod]

the "mechanics" of 4 are just too slopy and slow for me. but thats just me. cougar, if you are bored. play tag. it'll get you blood pumping!!

[Shortfuse]

why am i luxky to liv in miami? yes 4 got boring... not enough characters, but i cant wait for 5.. (and for tag in my case :D)

[tekkengod]

well my uncle lives in miami and i stayed with him for 3 months last summer. and wow man was it fun. maybe not miami but florida in general is a great place. run, run now and get tag, its about 20 bucks at EB or Gamestop or a px cause its been out for a while and its been a greatest hits. get it NOW!!! trust me, after u play it, you'll shun yourself for ever playing 4. there are lots of small things that i thought were neat. {for instance} take two characters that have a history. baek and haoworng. jin and jun. heihachi and jin. king and armor king. ect. and lots of moves they do are also small combos to tag out and inflict damage at the same time. and it has a nice feature that lets you save still images. and it has a bowling minigame which is worthy of being a game in and of itself. {it still has the option of 1 on 1 though, if you want}

[Alexander]

Jin or Kazuya. My archnemesis is Lei - me and my best friend always clash epic style with Jin and Lei.

[Zach]

my favorite is Jin

[Chojin]

Nina/Anna and there multiple breaks!

[gemtkd]

Hwoarang all the way!!! Can't you tell?

[akira2000]

Hwoarang is NO1 :D. I myself prefer kicking technique and I find lot of common moves between me and mighty Hwoarang (maybe not :D )

[tekkengod]

we've been over this before people hwoarang has nothing on king because of the devestating kick reversals hes got and those beautiful combos as well as the 10 hits. paul too has some of the most devestating attack reversals and he can parry anything.
best combo.

[Ikken Hisatsu]

err king is like the worst character in tekken 4. go ask on any teken forum, him and lei are RIGHT down the bottom, hwoarang is close to the top. yes, his kick counters work great against people who do the good old "OOOO" or "XXXX" combos. but those people are scrubs anyway.

[gaz shaw]

Jin, he was pure better than the others
btw his name is somat like tht i dont know i aint played it 4 a while

[Jdub]

eddy gordo

[MerKaBa]

eddy gordo


Ditto! I can't believe how brutally effective Capoeira Regional was in this game, I loved it :D

[Lafhastum]

I play with Eddy, I am a capoeira guy and I learned all of his combos.

[MerKaBa]

I play with Eddy, I am a capoeira guy and I learned all of his combos.


He he, can you juggle your opponent in the air when you do them? Now that would be impressive ;)

[Lafhastum]

I meant in the game, not in real life, yet.

[MerKaBa]

I meant in the game, not in real life, yet.


Ok, then me too... and good luck learning them in real life ;)

[tekkengod]

thread revival time!! :D

KING! KING WILL DESTROY YOU ALL WITH HIS PRO-WRESTLING!

You can't help but love a 200 pound, two meters tall Luchador wearing a jaguar mask who growls and snarls whenever he applies a submission hold or slams somebody.

HE'S THE KING!

this guy has the right idea. KING!!

*KING WINS*

[Twelve Eggs]

ok, what about a kangaroo that makes corny laser gun noises when he....claps his feet on your face or something?huh?! wheres the roger love!??

[Wolf]

Lei Wu Long (i think that's right), with King as a close second (i'll frankensteiner anyone to hell and back with that guy!) :D

[Cougar_v203]

lei is too predictable (for that matter mostly every Tekken characters moves are predictable)

but my fav is: lee Chaolan, Bryan Fury, Devil Jin and Normal Jin.

anyone else thing lees a homo? :confused:

[Nick_UKWC]

My best character is Paul

My fav character is Heihachi

The best character is Kazuya Mishima

I'd play anyone at Tekken, and feel pretty good about my chances :)

PS. Pauls moves got tonned down a bit for Tekken 4, in Tag it was pretty much unfair, Phoenix Smasher baby! ;)

PPS. Few people are saying Tag is faster than T4? Not sure if that depends on the region but having played both Tag and T4 just last night for about 3 hours (on the PS2) with 4 friends I can say without a doubt that as far as the UK versions go, T4 is way faster. Tag on the PS2 is about the same speed as T3 on the PS1, where as T4 on the PS2 is about the same speed as T3/Tag on the arcade.

[Twelve Eggs]

both t3 and ttt are faster than t4, arcade or not. maybe because you and your friends dont play at the same level of the people who declared it to be faster. if you know how to wavedash and backdash cancel, you can get all the way across the screen in 2 seconds. some can even do it less than that. backdash canecelling was not an option in t4, and that slowed down the game alot. wavedashing was, but that hardly compensates for the lack of a bdc.

oh, btw. t5 is the fastest of all of them.

[tekkengod]

Lei Wu Long (i think that's right), with King as a close second (i'll frankensteiner anyone to hell and back with that guy!) :D

frankensteiner is easily reverable for 25 dmg.

[tekkengod]

for that matter mostly every Tekken characters moves are predictable

now thats just being stupid.

[Twimyo Jirugi]

Hwoarang fits my style like a glove. Baek would be a close second ;)

[tekkengod]

My best character is Paul

My fav character is Heihachi

The best character is Kazuya Mishima

I'd play anyone at Tekken, and feel pretty good about my chances :)

your system is probably crap.
Tekken Tag is the fastest installemnt ever.
T3 was good.
T4 was horrifically slow, as well as a few other flaws.
T5 has retained alot of the speed of tag and boosted the grapichs, get T5. and always keep Tekken Tag

[Twelve Eggs]

t5 is FASTER than tag. the juggles are longer, backdashcanceling is faster, everything is FASTER. ttt was definitely the fastest up until t5 came out, but thats changed now. while ttt may be an all time fav for how good it was at its time, it doesnt change the fact that t5 is a better game. in my opinion, t5>ttt. ttt=sentimental value.

[tekkengod]

i should go and play both back to back, it seems like TTT is faster to me.


i just finished playing both for 5 mins a piece, but my TTT disc is on its last leg anyway.

TTT and T5 seem to be pretty even, but it still feels like ttt is faster for some reason. i need to get a new TTT disc any way, i think i've played the life out of it.

[Twelve Eggs]

its a possibilty, ttt WAS on a cd. mine got scratched up in a month. surprised it still runs at all, really.

[shaolin_hendrix]

Lei Wulong

[snoog]

bryan fury number one. then bruce irvin then paul then d. jin then jin then kazuya then lee then king. :)

[Twelve Eggs]

roger number one. then bruce irvin then paul then d. jin then jin then kazuya then lee then king. :)

fixed :Angel:

[tekkengod]

Paul number one. then king then Bruce then d. jin then jin then kazuya then lee then Feng Wei :)

there we go, perfectly edited. :cool:

[Nick_UKWC]

My 'system' is crap?

What I mean is to do the same move in both games takes less time on T4 than Tag. All of it does...

Are you guys talking about the UK PS2 Versions of all games?

[davethekodiak]

bryan fury hands down

[tekkengod]

the north america version of both games, T4 is slow as hell, T5 is fast as hell, and TTT is the fastest.

[Cougar_v203]

I didn't notice the speed in TTT

[snoog]

hey you guys messed with my quotes :mad: but thats alright guys :) i like all characters to a point. i'm pretty good with them all. oh well. have fun

[tekkengod]

I didn't notice the speed in TTT

i'm starting to think thats some of this may be continent specific, becasue of all the people saying diffrent things. diffrent shipments of the game maybe?

TTT is FAST T5 is FAST. some will say T5 is faster, but i can say TTT is faster in North America.

[wazzabi]

i agree, i think TTT is the fastest, probably cause the graphics aren't as detailed as T4 & T5, so the computer can run it faster.
any Lee Chaolan players here? for some reason i only use Jin & Lee when i play T5

[tekkengod]

i'm not sure. but i could probably answer any questions you might have anyway.

everyone loves Jin, never been a big fan of lee, but i know he can be dangerous.

[Twimyo Jirugi]

Lee user here! Nothin' puts as big a smile on my face as landing a silver cyclone on someone and watching the horror run over their face as their life bar is drained :D

[tekkengod]

hehe, i've seen that happen before. if you get caught in a silver cyclone, then you deserved it.

[silksword]

kazuya!!!!!!!!!!! he's the best player in the game if you can use him.

[Twelve Eggs]

no hes not. he heavily depends on his electric wind godfist, and that can only be pulled out 80% of the time by the best of players in high stress situations.and it hits high, so it can be ducked and punished. he plays a very high risk/mediocre reward game, unlike steve or nina who play a low risk/outrageous reward game.

[Cougar_v203]

Kazuya.

for girls: Julia ;)

[tekkengod]

Julia is one of the best players in the game.

[Twelve Eggs]

julia was one of the best players. especially in tag. but she got nerfed. she has almost no safe launchers, and people caught on to her buffered mad axes a long time ago.

[tekkengod]

mad axe hasn't worked on me ever. play with her a bit more. shes not as screwed over as you think, but she was with out a doubt much MUCH better in tekken tag than in 5. and for the rest of you, do some research, kazuya is mediocre at best and thats in the hands of a veteran. out of the hundreds of kazuya players i've encountered. only a hand full were decent.

[Twelve Eggs]

back in the old days,(ttt) a seasoned julia player could slap a mad axe on you 3 times in a single match, at least. they could buffer that move consistenly out of anything, really, so they could pretty much chain any move they had into a mad axe. now, all you have to do is duck and you will avoid the throw, but then you put yourself in danger of eating a mid atack. but with the new frame window for breaking throws, you dont even have to duck, you can just break the throw about every time, so julia lost one of her most valuable mixups.

[tekkengod]

i absolutely love that now. it so much easier for me to break the throws now.
King got beefed up for me. hes got some horrificly match ending chains and the fact that his throws are now multi button escape or diffrent button escapes makes the multi throws that much more dangerous and worth going for. and the power of his single throws has been beefed up as well. i love buffering into throws so much more now.

still, fear the Julia vet.

and i've noticed pauls jabs are actually FASTER than Steve's!!

[Twelve Eggs]

steve has an 8 frame jab. you dont get any faster than that. i think paul is a ten framer, possibly more. and as for kings throws, all the other person has to do is mash on square or triangle and they will escape 80%(ish) of the time. king got beefed up from tekken 4, no doubt, but he is not a dominating force in t5.

[tekkengod]

i'll check the FR on paul. but i'm telling you, pauls seem abit faster.

MY king is a dominating force. :D and yes that is true, but the window of opportunity to do so is so small that if you don't get the right button or BOTH the buttons, i get the throw, i mean don't get me wrong, i don't use them as much. but when i do, man is it beautiful to watch them panich and smack all 4 buttons as the bar just melts off. :)

[Twelve Eggs]

all of kings chain throws have a weakness. all the other person has to do is know the corresponding "magic" button, mash away on it, and bam. they escaped. granted, you might get the first two or maybe even three throws in, but the whole thing almost never goes through.

[tekkengod]

on a side note. my tekken knowladge was what passed me through world history today.
the question was what is a Zaibatsu? and becasue of the Mishima Zaibatsu referances in the games i knew exactly what it was. :D

[Twelve Eggs]

a dysfunctional family of incestuous half-demon psychopaths?

[tekkengod]

:D that too, but actually it means large chinese company.

[Twelve Eggs]

the mishimas are japanese, not chinese.

[tekkengod]

thats what i meant :bang: typo.

I could beat any of you with lee no one can beat me with him

i don't think he knows the people hes talking to :rolleyes:

and which tournaments have you attended? which regionals did you win?

would you give me Lees weaknesses and strenghts in your opinion?
and an over view of your strategies and wall game? lets see if you've got an understanding of the game.

[Twelve Eggs]

lee actually does have a pretty decent wall game. he can take you to the wall from just about anywhere on the stage (except from wall to wall, but you get my point) in one juggle. im pretty sure youve seen this done, with the jab dash jab dash technique, but with lees mist step thing its a million times better. other than that though, he doesnt have too much going on.

Well why i think im so good is because i've been playing sence the 1st one with lee also i own a tekken 3 arcade system. I think lee weakness is his grapples but his strengths are dogeing and combos.

i see.

well. um. i'm not going to dive into this at the moment, i gotta do my damn spanish. i too have been playing since 1. i'd love to get an arcade machine, but cash is tight. would you explain how and why you believe his strenghts are dodging and combos. a bit of your basic stategy would be nice. i'd love to have a tekken head other than me an twelve eggs. i'll post my thoughts later today when i've got more time.

[Twelve Eggs]

well, i'd just like everyone to know. i broke my foot, so i've been out of tkd, (and off of map) for a couple months. naturally this means 1 thing. i've been playing tekken like a mad man. i'd like to think that i've increased my skill at least 2-fold. i've added 3 new chars to my arsenal (my arsenal: roger, bryan, wang,jin,kazuya,craig,raven,ling), and placed in 2 local tournaments with kazuya and craig. and those arent even close to being my main chars. so if ANYBODY needs ANY advice at all, im your man. i can tell you anthing you want to know about this game, including its frame data.(even though the official frame data hasnt't been released). so yeah. ask up. NAO.

[tekkengod]

ouch, broke your fot, that sucks. well i think i've offically played the life out of my Tekken 5 disc, it looked like it had laser burn in a perfect circle. so i had to go get a new one. congrats on the new characters and placement. keep it up. I just added Marduk too. and i've played with bruce alot more as well. {Paul, King. Bryan, Bruce, Heihachi, Devil Jin and Marduk.} have you ever done that to a game? i seriously think i played it to DEATH! and that creepy deep scratch perfect ring makes me think that i need a new system. after 4 years of play, i can't complain, its been a good system.

[Twelve Eggs]

bummer man. i've left my ps2 on with my T5 in it for days in a row, so i fear my disc is doomed to head down the same path of laser-destruction. also, i'd like to know something about paul. but i think it deserves to be put in the allmighty tekken thread. IM OFF TO REVIVE THE GREATEST THREAD OF ALL TIME!!!
