Tekken 5

yeah, but tekken has always had gret fmv's. I diddnt think the cutscenes for tekken 5 were nearly as kick ass, as the ones for tekken 4. I could have done without the nearly pointless customization. It just reminded me of what i couldnt do. Why does tekken always invest in the same moves for every character game after game?

its the pokemon formula approach.. if it works and noones complaining they dont fix it.. right now in tekken5 steve fox is broken

His australian accent or his moves? He is one of the funnest characters to play with, but everyone is good with steve, and whore-ang, and all eddy clones. I think those characters are broken in that aspect. I mean, you can master the most difficult players, but when people start mashing buttons with christie, whore-ang, and steve, it's all up in the air.

no the good steve players dont let you hit back.. they have moves to beat you to the ground, and they have moves to keep you on the ground lol (and you know getting up in tekken is a battle by itself).. still he's fun to fight against.. but he's just not my style

Best old shcool characters:

Paul and Nina

Best new characters:

Raven and Fang

The game is good, and even better if you play with friends. 👆

I like Asuka and Jin.

Asuka's my fave easy. I love her style (not to mention her looks 😄 ). Me, Lord Shadow Z and Kanis just completed the game yesterday with every character and did Devil Within, I got to say that after Tekken 4 this is a brilliant comeback for the series.

Short Review:

Although at times the difficultly can be bit fustrating and you want to throw the controller (Playstaion an' all) angrilly at the nearest person, this is a soild tekken game! An excellent adition to the series!

The mass selection of charecters and the Arcade versions of tekken 1-3 is minted! some charecters storys are slitghtly farfecthed and ppl (Such as howrang and lee)whom spoke in english in tekken 5 now speak a differnt langaue wich is piontless.

The personal little interludes od dialouge (usually in stage 4 ) is an excellent idea. I kinda takes me back to the glory days of playin' "Tekken 3" for hours!

Overall an excellent game that i havent stopped playing snice i got it on friday!

8/10

how is it pointless for a korean to speak korean.. and a chinese adopted by a japanese to speak japanese? (and I believe you meant they spoke english in tekken 4) I welcome that aspect because it doesnt make sense for everyone to be from all these different nations and speak perfect english (I mean they have subtitles, so its not like it gets in the way)..

it is a very very nice comeback from the crap that was T4 (in my opinion).. however the juggling stuff is sortof irritating because I thought they would have some kind of soul-calibur esque air control by now... also the whole getting up from the ground thing is a real pain in the ass.. maybe I'm just picky but with a few more tweeks , tekken 5 can be a platinum title instead of gold

will Eddie Gordo be back???

WEll I just got the game like 3 or 4 days ago. I feel so left behind.
Anybody else just getting this game?

Anybody else get this game with the intent to play it alone or just ended up playing alone?

So is anyone here serious about tekken? I have tons of tips and combos to swap.!!

Bad Wolf?

Green Day was here over the weekend and they kicked arse!!

theres some new videos of tekken5.1 in action.here is the link ftp://www.hameko.net/tekken5/ . go to the kankoku3on3 folder and download a vid there. there you go, instant 5.1 action.

well i am a big tekken fan, so i will get tekken 5. but i was too dissapointed with tekken 4. that was absolutely terrible.
tekken 3 was great, and i was even more impressed personally by tekken tag. the graphics were a huge leap compared to tekken3, it was a great way for the ps2 era to start.

tekken 5 is way better than tekken 4.. they returned to the arcade feel
