I played a lot of Tekken 5 at Evo2k4. Man it's nice.
Felt a lot like T3/TTT. Steps and dashes are a little shorter but they still work. Nobody tried too many wall combos but they were definitely possible. Somebody told me the wall tech was removed. The new characters are all very cool, even Asuka who is supposedly the Jun clone, had a lot of Jun's old moves completely re-animated to look new.
The graphics are nice, though some of the characters looked a little less facially detailed than in T4, especially during close-ups. That may change though. The stages were the main graphic attraction though; lots of interesting new filters and lighting tricks I've never seen used. Some I don't even know how to describe. Like the garden stage, there's this sort of haze that covers the whole thing... not fog, more like a lighting trick. The fire stage has that wavey effect fire causes. There's an underground stage (reminds me of Pirates of the Carribean) with lots of gold coins on the ground that tinkle around when you step on or get knocked into them.
I saw every character being used (some more than others) but I only got to play Steve and Gato- er, Feng.
Eh, too much to talk about. I could go on forever, so I'll just hold back and if anyone has questions about it I can try to answer.

Oh, Gojira, a few questions. Getting back to the stages, were they all level or were there differing heights to the fighting area such as the mall stage in T4? Did any of the stages that had walls feel as confined as the Fight Club stage or were they all fairly open? Any impressions about the returning characters, such as changes to their move list or animation?
The stages don't feel confined at all any more. At least not the ones I was playing in. Definitely nothing as claustrophobic as the underground stage in T4. There were no uneven surfaces I could see either. All the floors were flat as a pancake, so there were no moves whiffing because of bad elevation.
As for the returning characters, everyone gained something new, and all Just Frames introduced in T4 were either nerfed or simplified, but there were no complete overhauls that I could see. Probably the weakest additions were given to Ling and Paul, as nobody could find much interesting about them. Biggest changes seemed to be Yoshimitsu, Nina, Marduk, King, Jack and Julia. Everyone else was about even.

Just a few:
1. Is Kazuya much different? Was he being used at least fairly often?
2. What's this I hear about new stances for Jin and Hwaorang?
3. Any impressions on the music?
4. What are the intros like? Are they like T4 where you'll see the characters do their intro one at a time? And do you actually get to see characters get up from being knocked out in between rounds (like T4)?
Thanks for any answers you have.
1. He was used quite a bit, and seems stronger. His stun punch is f escapable again and his twin pistons look completely different now (shorter range, it seems), but those seem like the only things toned down. He has a new hellsweep into punch combo that everyone liked doing, some kind of FC kick with a wide arc, a few new punch-kick strings, and a new throw (the one on the official website).
2. Beats me. I didn't see these new stances for them, even though Jin was used a lot. I don't doubt that they're in there though. Maybe I did see them and just didn't identify them as stances, I don't know.
3. NICE, that's my impression. It's back to the traditionally hardcore bassy soundtracks. No more of that metal crap from T4.
4. Intros and round transitions were lifted directly from T4, except there was no speech for many of the characters when there was before. But this was an early build so voice and facial expressions will probably be added later.
