Best Fighter from TEKKEN?

Tekken 1-5 who was the best fighter you wailed on a sucker with?
Whos the cheapest?
Whos the least usefull?

I have about 800 actual hours of playing Tekkens 1-4 and in every game Paul dominates, he DOMINATES, cheap? yep.
Next in line is Yoshimitsu, i swear to god no one has ever beaten me while having either of these two (Tekken tag...MASSACRE!).

The least useful was union jacks and any of the mimic characters, they just blew!

I hope their are other tekken-heads out there who would like to talk in this thread.

i am pretty good with bryan, xiayou, hwoarang and lei...

but i beat everyone with law or jin...

eddy and jack are pretty cheap...

i never liked julia...

brian is great, hwoarand was all kicks, i could reverse them almost every time.

yeah, but i learned some great combos that actually involved punches 😛

top tier characters in tournaments are usually people like Nina Williams , Bruce Irving , King (maybe) , and Marshall / Forest Law.. Heihachi/kazuya are also good to know.. but my favorites from 1 to 5 are

Tekken : I liked nina williams alot due to her arm break combos
Tekken 2 : I then turned to jun kazama, because of her reversals
Tekken 3 : After jun kazama dying, I turned to jin kazama
Tekken 4 : I was five seconds from throwing up after seeing this crap
Tekken 5 : Currently I favor paul phoenix, as he remains oldschool but has some new tricks up his sleeve

actually i'm decent with Kuma good with Devil Jin and hwoarang as well... (on tekken 5)

Heihatchi, Lei.

Jin is untouchable when you master his moves. Steve fox is fun to use, but he is to easy to control

I agree, Tekken 4 was garbage, i just beat it and went back to tekken tag.

A lot of folks say how great jin is, i dont see it at all, i mean im good with all of them, but jin is simple,how so? limited moves make it hard to surprise someone.

I was wondering, how do you all hold your controllers?

push buttons with your thumb, or flat handed pushing buttons like you're typing?
I've found out Fighting games are much easier using the ladder method...easy double button pressing and such, you should give it a try if you havent.

damn, you know whats up w/ fighting games =] my respect goes to you.

on a side note, Nina and Steve are soooooooooooooo cheap in Tekken 5

He sure did man, I play tag everyday and wouldnt spell most of the names right.

T5 is so much better than. nina has always been cheap.

Jin is great beacause he has combos that damage both the upper and lower body rapidly, and badass counters. Jin moves fluent in his combos for me.

I lay my controller on my lap and use my middle and fore finger to tap the controlls.

jins new style is too plain for me.. I do like some of his new punch techniques, but they're predictable

I am good with Paul Phoenix. So he is the best character in my opinion.

I like his moves alot too.. unfortunately he's usually only semi-finals material.. Its possible that he doesnt have enough unpredictability to become finals material

i usually use law and brian

Thats exactly how I use it as well, my friends always wonder how i can play with the controller like that to me its natural, I played the arcade version too much to go back to using my thumb.

i play like that in tekken and only tekken, which is quite weird... every other game i use my thumb...

and i agree with ragesremorse, jin once you're used to him is amazing...

I think asuka is better.. she's just like Jun with better (more unpredictable) animation frames
