I entered a Tekken 3 tournament. It's just guys that live in the dorms here at college and they wanna see who's the best. We get to play on a big ass projection screen in a lounge by the lobby, which I've never done before so it should be interesting.
Actually there's only 15 guys signed up for the thing. Double elimination. The person who wins gets cash and a trophy. This is the first time I've put my skillz up in a T3 tourney. I usually stick to the 2D stuff, y'know.
I'm good with Paul and Lei, but I really don't know who to use quite yet and the tournament is tomorrow at 8:00pm US Central time. I really wanna win this thing, because my brother lives for Tekken and I wanna show him how good I am. I'm gonna try to go undefeated. My roommate is good with Bryan Fury and we've been going at it. He's pretty good, he can actually beat me. The most wins he's gotten in a row has been 2, while I've gotten 7. Since he kinda knows how I play, he's my biggest threat right now. Who knows what will happen tomorrow though.
Wish me luck guys!
I'll come back and post the results of the little tourney we're having.
Until then, if you guys wanna give me some tips on winning you're welcome to it.
Why Tekken 3 ? 'n not Tekken 4 ?
I don't think the guy holding the tourney has a PS2, plus Tekken 4 isn't even available over here right now. Maybe tomorrow, but by then it'll be too late.
He'd have to delay the tournament again, plus he'd have to change the posters and flyers hanging around here and stuff. So if there was a Tekken 4 tournament we'd have to wait for another 2 weeks.

hey what tricks do you know with Paul and Lei, froboy? show us your knowledge!
oh yea, i don't play with either of them so i can't really give you any tips. i tried out Lei's different styles when i first tried out Tekken 3. pretty awesome although they were incredibly hard for me to pull off at the time
oh yea, if you're playing with any scrubs, abuse Paul's Super Fist Wacky Hour of death! i remember Hagen (bastard!) kept using that on me when i didn't know what the hell i was doing
Well, with Paul, Phoenix Smasher is my primary move. I usually do his QCF+Square move. If it hits the opponent and they kinda stand there I do the F,F,+ Square and Triangle grab. I also do the Hangover move. Down+Square, O, then Triangle. I just use the basic stuff, when the opponent is trying to get off the ground I hit forward +square and triangle. Paul should do a crazy one arm downward punch that can hit them while getting up. I call it "Deep Gank." I also do a lot of attack reversals with him too. I also like to mix it up a bit so I'm not too predictable.
With Lei, I can't really explain what I do, but I usually end up tricking my opponents because he has all kinds of moves that can do that. Quick get up attacks and fast combos that switch from high to low attacks. The razor rush with a style switch and a quick sweep (depending on what style) usually throws off the opponent. When I knock an opponent down after an attack I usually hit O,O,X for a 3 hit combo while their on the ground. It takes good damage, and it kicks them up in the air if you get it all.
I really can't explain my skills, I just know what to do when stuff happens. It's kinda like an instinctive thing that I can't explain. I'm pretty good, but I'm not a Tekken pro. Before last week, I haven't played ANY Tekken in the last 2 months, but I'm gonna try to win it tonight. I'm really trying not to underestimate my opponents at all. If I do, I walk in the loser.

A good paul juggle against scrubs.
qcb, 3, 2, 2, d+4, 2
Used to know a lot of lei juggles, forget most of them now... know one of them went like
f, 1, 2, 1, d (position change panther), 2 (launcher), f, 1, 2, 1, 2, 4, d(crane stance), 4 (or hold your crane stance and do the crance dance 3,4,2,3 or something else when they get up)

Thanks. I'll try to work these in somewhere. I'm gonna go practice on that Lei juggle!

OK, I've got 20 minutes until the tournament starts. Who should I use?
Lei or Paul.
I'd use neither. But it all matters who you're up against and how good your play style is.
Personally prefer Ling or Jin. Ling though weak, can be evil with the amount of juggles and evasive maneuvers if you know how to play as her.
Jin is just a great combination of everything, but mostly power and juggles.
But I'm going to guess your an average player going against average people. Having to play Lei really well is something that I haven't even been able to do (not like I ever tried hard... just not my type). Paul can easily dominate average players with this pheonix smasher and quick low sweep (d+4, 2).
So I'd vote for paul, though I wouldn't ever suggest using him against good players...specially if you plan to abuse the pheonix smasher.
Though besides the pheonix smasher you'll want to use.
qcb (sway back), 3, 2, 2, d+4, 2
qcb, 2
FC, df+2, 2, d+4, 2
d+1, d+4, 2
f+1+2 (that foward swipe, good for people that get up by just hitting up....)
If you do a counter hit on a pheonix smasher (which causes them to roll far away) then just run and keep running till you smash into them. Most people don't know how to avoid this, or what quite to do. If they wise up start sliding and using d+4 as your getting up.
Also Paul is a good Eddy smacker. If they start dancing around via button mashing just do a d+1, it'll smash them to the ground no problem.
