"Tekken question" , posted Tue 15 Feb 18:30

It looks (to me at least, uninitiated as I am in Tekken knowledge) like Tekken V is well received, in comparison to its predecessor. What made this one better?

The gameplay is more like "classic" Tekken(3ish or TTTish) instead of trying to be different(T4), larger stages with leveled playing field, the game is faster, they toned down Jin, lots of characters to choose, and extras like the option to personalize your character name and outfit.
Namco's Arcade team behind T5 seems to have taken into account comments by the fans on what they liked and didn't like when T4 came out...so by listening to the gamers and taking lots of time work on the game we got this awesome fighter that even the most critical Tekkenhead can't help but love.

Tekken 4(Worst game in the serie) flopped in Korean&Japanese arcade, so Namco listened to arcade players around the world and fixed all the bad thing in Tekken 4.

So they went back to T3/TTT juggle system and put Sidestepcancel/Backdashcancel back in T5(for better spacing option). Also Crush system(High Crush/Low Crush) is more universal in Tekken 5 etc...

It's not that change is necessarily bad but a number of the new game features in T4 weren't particularly well implemented. It was an interesting attempt but until they figure out how to pull off uneven playing surfaces and whatnot without making the whole thing wonky it's probably just as well to leave it out.

ShinATproof did a good job covering why T5 has been so well received; it's a game with very good presentation that sticks with a proven game engine. That, and this is the first Tekken to feature three generations of screaming Mishima men duking it out, which makes the most dysfunctional family in fighting games even funnier. Okay, there's four generations if you count Jin but he's trying to be nice guy or something silly like that.

If there was one thing to remember in 10 years of Tekken, it would be Roger Junior.

Isn't Heihachi dead for good? I don't think he's supposed to come back even in the PS2 version... (until Tekken 6).

"Famitsu presents Tekken 5: Japan vs Korea" , posted Wed 16 Feb 00:05:

Anyways, Tarechichi A.K.A. Kenbou, is visiting Korea this 17~20, and he is sponsored by the Japanese monthly(?) game magazine "Famitsu".

He will first have a small tournament with 4~8 ppl, including himself. The confirmed participants are MDJ, NiN, Knee, and Leedy. (These players were the best 4 from the Korean National tournament 2004. NiN and Knee ending up both in 3rd place as a tie.)

Hopefully Holeman, one of the best players in Korea currently will participate in the tourny, and other famous players.

Next, he will play a 1 vs 50, which obviously means going against 50 other players of Korea.

Last, he will visit famous arcades in Korea.

Don't ask for the vids, because I don't know what's going to happen. Famitsu said that they would make the highlights from the visit into a DVD, and the tournament participants would get one each; maybe that meaning no vids are to be released without Famitsu's permission.

I'm going to watch Japan vs Korea, because it will be held in Seoul(Green&Jeongin Arcade).

Thx to Famitsu&Tekkencentral for the news and Teroline for translation.

It's great that Heihachi was at ground zero of an explosion that leveled a building and all it did was piss him off. I can only dream of being as huge and angry as Heihachi is when I hit my seventies.

Incredibly, Tekkenzaibatsu already has Heihachi's customization items listed.

I don't think I can explain T5's better reception any better than those that already explained it, but I can say that I still think T4 deservers more credit than it's given.

It's funny. At about the time of T3, and even more so in TTT, people were starting to bash the series because the games weren't different enough and did little to innovate. Then T4 comes along and it gets blasted for its attempts to innovate. Then comes T5, which is more like Tekken was when it "needed something new" (apparently tag teaming wasn't different enough) and people are loving it.

Now, I'm not saying anything bad about T5. It rocks. I just find this situation...funny. In an odd sort of way. It reminds of the "Itch, Scratchy, and Poochie" episode of The Simpsons.

True, Tekken 4 may not be that bad as a game itself, but I think the lack of pumping Tekken 3 music and general sluggishness (compared to speedy Tekken 3, and made worse by the oddly uneven arenas) turned people off. And the costumes were bad. Not that Tekken 4 shouldn't have been innovative, but innovation just shouldn't have been so...sluggish. Maybe if they'd had a block button and a viable way to jump, like Soul Calibur. But I think Tekken 5 sounds like it'll be a good mix.

Actually, I wanted to ask what people think about the lack of wall teching in T5. I mean, isn't that what is making all these wall infinites possible? Aren't all the infinites based on walls? So we should only see wall-less tournaments?

I always see people get killed much faster in walled stages anyway... without walls you have somewhere to run...it seems.

Shyeim, what's the word on arena selection in Korea? Are players preferring T3/TTT unlimited size arenas, or are they fine with the walled arenas and random select?

How are the infinites and 100%'s being taken to in Korea? Do the players just agree not to use the Raven and Kazuya infinites? What about the Steve 3,1,1 which is actually useful normally, but gives you like a billion frames (I think you have almost enough time to do f+1+2 Heartbreak Shot on them...) to do whatever the hell you want to your opponent if you get the special stun? Is there any consensus on what you should/not be allowed to do if you actually manage to land that perfect 3,1,1?

That's more Raven saying that in the opening, simply assuming that the big freakin' explosion killed him. I mean, if they just flat out offed the series constantly "main" character it'd be detrimental in some ways.

Situational infis are allowed(which is impossible to land).

Steve infi is situational, but you can do it without wall. You can only perform it against sideturned opponent with perfect angle.

Sideturned opponent hold>[3],1.1~F into weaving 1,2,1,2 etc.

Same goes to Raven situational infi.

after any wall stun...ss, (4~3),3, ss, (4~3),3...

you have to do a half sidestep to make the 4~3 whiff, but the last ,3 will hit, creating yet another wall stun over and over.

Never heard about Kazuya infi???

Do you know notation?

Pretty much what people here have said so far. The uneven arenas don't work too well in some situations, Jin is overpowered, walls are too abusable, and I guess that combo freaks don't like the feel of T4's juggle system.

Again, none of this bothered me in the slightest, seeing as how I mostly play single player anyway...

There are some other things - the OTG system is supposedly ridiculously stupid, allowing guys like Paul and Heihachi to hit you like 8 times before you can get up, if you ever do. Not only is Jin overpowered, Steve and Nina are retarded good (read: they can practically mash and win half the time). It's just poorly done.

Well, believe it or not I haven't seen much Steve gameplay, and this is actually the first time I've heard of him being too powerful. Nina, however, has pretty much always been top tier in the Tekken games.

Nina has all those things too. High priority, quick, but damaging moves...and incredible juggling capability.

As for Lei, he lacks alot of these things. The stance changing is good for mind games, but they are slow and leave you open. He doesn't have much of a pecking game either. This does not include T5 however, because I don't know what changes have been made to him for this game.

The explosion could have killed anyone, but Heihachi is not anyone so he didn't die. A month later, he hears the Mishima foundation is under the control of someone else, and it really, really pisses him off. "I won't let the foundation to anyone".
He is so angry he recovers from his wounds in no time and is now ready to join the tournament.

US ranks Nina very high, because she has strong oki follow up(which extends her juggle after oki), but Nina is overrated in US.

Yeah, I want T3/TTT Lei back.

Everyone is improved in Tekken 5 except Lei. All his juggle does little damage(even on default damage) and most launcher needs stance change. Also his important haha step is mediocre in Tekken 5.

Japan has already banned him from tournaments, such as SBO. The Japanese version of Tekken 5 on PS2 will be patched to balance this.

I'm not sure where the U.S. Tekken scene stands on this subject.

From what I've read, suppostly 2,2,1+2 is a 10 frame attack, does 40% dmg, and is unpunishable after block. f,f+2 is guaranted afterwards, so if you "quick get up," you get launched for an air juggle risking another 40% dmg for 80% dmg total.

edit: Oh yea, suppostly also normal hit have counter hit properties. Sort of like a auto-couter hit property.

None of the tournaments in Japan banned Heihachi.

Only SBO banned him, because Heihachi time release was after SBO qualification.

I admit that Heihachi attack is a glitch and very damaging on default life, because 1+2 changes into counter hit after 2,2 which gives you free ff+2 or d+4(needs very fast execution).

If you didn't know Korea plays with +2 settings(120%) and most Japanese arcade does same.

Namco is releasing a revision/update for Arcade version, but they didn't say anything about Japanese console version.

Also US console version has no Ghost AI, but it will be included for Japanese version.

There is a Tekken.Net event in Japan, where you can recommend your Arcade Ghost data for console version.

Tekken 5 all the way... just sort of ignore that Tekken 4 ever happened. I have Re-bout and I stopped playing it after a day or two... the main problem is that the gameplay is identical to the original KOF 94... which wasn't exactly smooth back in it's day. Even though the sprites are high res, the animation is extremely choppy. I wouldn't bother with a rebout game until they get to around 96-97.

Tekken 5 on the other hand... I'm getting it today after class myself. Not only does it look incredible... they've listened to fans and refined the game engine... making the best Tekken so far.
