"Tekken 4" , posted Sun 3 Nov 16:35

Months after its release,I finally played Tekken 4 . While I still haven't found Virtua Fighter 4 to test (or its upgrade),it was intersting to see T4 .
Tekken 4 plays very different from the previous chapters,it actually plays more similar to Virtua Fighter 3 (you may disagree with me,though) . The characters are incredibly beautiful (even more than in TTT !),but they could still be better (even because fighting games with great graphics like Soul Calibur II and Mortal Kombat : Deadly Alliance are coming) . The stages are also nice,with the walls and the floor that isn't regular anymore . But I like more the stages from Tag Tournament .
About the characters : Christie is wonderful !!! I thought she would be cheap like Eddy,but she's really an interesting character . Marduk is really violent (he slams people in walls !),while Steve is funny (he sits on his defeated opponents !) . From the old ones,Marshall Law is nice,but it would make more sense to put his son Forrest in his place . Kaxuya is mean !! Xiaoyu isn't a little girl anymore,she looks much better ! The others didn't surprise me . The only secret guys I've seen (not played with) are Jin (very cool,as in Tekken 3 and Tag),Combot (could be better) and the Story Mode boss,Heihachi (meaner,more powerful and with a strange sumo outfit ... since when he's a sumo fighter ?) .
The Story Mode is very good,as is the Tekken Force Mode . Without a monster boss,it became more realistic (like the first Tekken),but less challenging,unfortunately .
Overall,it could be better,but who cares ? It's awesome,and I loved it !!!^_^

I can be any person in the world...Maybe I'm this person right in front of you...or not!

I finaly played Tekken 4 a few weeks ago, I didn't like it. I didn't like the stages and the characters didn't seem very interesting. I wasn't too wowed by the graphics either. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Be kind to goblins.

an interesting point :
in the Christie's stage, one detail in the wall says : eu não sei falar português direito!("I Don't Speak Portuguese well!" or something like this, but with a strange error that I can't remember now)

I got Tekken 4 when it came out, being a fighting game addict, and VF 4 finally wore my patience thin.

I truly think the character designs are much cooler than VF's, and I enjoyed the backgrounds more in Tekken 4. Though I think most people will play VF4 longer with it's practically neverending training or dojo mode.

But if you're a fan of the characters, getting this version is worth it. I got it to keep learning King and Paul, and practice more with Jin & Craig. And you've got to finish the story mode with Jin, to see the form you don't get to play.

I still play it today. Although VF 4 Evolutions was cool, especially with the two new guys, the one that is similar to Steve Fox.

In japan Sumo wrestlers where worshipped and where given a big social status... They where almost like servants of the gods, thus Heihachi outfit should surely point to the fact that he has to be worshiped.

Violet owns, plain & simple.

Tekken was at it's peak with Tekken3. Namco has turned it into an emotionless cash-machine since then- the few new things are just Namcos reaction to games like VF4 and DoA3.
Don't get me wrong- it's still a very good fighting game- but nothing extraordinary.

I have always thought that Tekken's peak was in Tekken 2... Then Again I'm alcoholic...

I should get ready for a test now...

True, Tekken 2 was the high water mark for the series for me as well.

While I like Tekken 4, Namco really needs to re-do the character animation since some of it is showing it's age. Try winning a match with Kazuya's Rising Sun or Spinning Demon or Kuma's sit on the ground and swat at you move and then watch the replay. When those moves play out from a different angle it's almost embarrassing to see.

I liked Tekken 4,too. It's the best in the series. And it's got cool characters! And it's got crisp graphics.

I'm proud to own this one.

Indeed, many of those moves where thought for 2D perspective (Tekken 1)... Amazing that they have survived until Tekken 4...
