From Tekken 1 to Tekken 6. How far the series has come.

It seems kinda like the Legend of Souls mode in Soul Calibur 3 and 4, or whatever the mode was called in each game. I played through those modes once and then stopped bothering with them. #tekken6

All the CSM needs is co-op. If it had co-op, I'd easily buy Tekken 6 at full price and I'd only play the 1-on-1 modes enough to unlock all the trophies. Without co-op, I'll wait 'til I can get it for about $35.

Soul Calibur - Greatest 'pick-up-and-play' 3D Fighter out there.
Soul Calibur 2 - Pretty good game. Not the best out there, but good.
Soul Calibur 3 - Eh... well, at least it has a create-a-character mode, and Chronicles of the Sword was the best Single-Player mode in a Fighter ever.
Soul Calibur 4 - They took out the custom-character fighting styles, the ability to choose a weapon at character select, and CotS? And they put in a bunch of hideously overpowered Star Wars characters? WTF!?! #tekken6

I think Tekken hit its peak at 4. Almost all of the characters were refined, they all played differently and it didn't have a cheap ass boss.
Thats were 5 slipped. #tekken6

It was pretty much perfect, with great modes and depth.
With the dawn of SC, it became pretty much forgotten. Sad really as it started it all. #tekken6

Interestingly enough, Tekken 6's campaign falls under the category of fighting game campaigns I don't hate. That's not to say it's not without its flaws, far from it, but there's a mindless sort of enjoyment to running through corridors bashing through waves of thugs. It has a fast enough pace and throws enough variety at you that it never really felt boring or stale. Sure, the later missions were a bitch with their absurdly cheap bosses (I seriously had to resort to using weapons and wall-locking them to beat Azazel and Jin. SF4's Seth now seems so much more tolerable by comparison), but I can just skip those while I go back to the earlier missions and grab some free items for my characters. #tekken6

Within twenty minutes of this sixth installment however I turned it off. The loading times were not an issue but the amount of loading screens overall felt ridiculous. At first I thought I was maybe just nit picking a tad bit but the review here articulated exactly how I felt making me feel less dellusional about it. The graphical fidelity looks very unpolished. It just doesn't feel like the old Tekken I used to love anymore. Consider me retired and willing to try new things. :) #tekken6

I, so far, have no complaints on the PS3. Only played about 10 matches, but only one had dampening lag. #tekken6

Cuts down times so much.
I don't know, Tekken5: DR was relatively lag free for me online. #tekken6

Synchronisation, routing and other things which are dependant on how you program the stuff (and players' connection, of course :P) is what causes the lag. #tekken6

The character designs are awful
The animations in the backgrounds are awful. See those sheep?
The gameplay is stiff and hasn't changed since Tekken 1
Did I mention the characters look ridiculous and awful?
The online play is a joke
The brawler mode is a joke. All it is is the same character models with the same moves walking around in 3D space. It feels as awkward as it looks.
The music is the only good part of the game, hell, the graphics aren't even that good.
Japan has really REALLY lost its touch this generation. I eagerly anticipate the next DOA game, because the Tekken series has seriously gone down the gutter with its plastic figurine looking cast of characters who are so ridiculously muscular they make WWE people jealous.And when will Japan learn how to program an online game? They have the fastest internet speeds in the world yet they can't manage to make a lag-free gaming experience?
Pathetic. Western Developers really have eclipsed Japanese devs. What a sad time this is.. #tekken6

Get BlazBlue. Proceed to be happy :D #tekken6
10/29/09
Thank goodness that Blazblue was actually a good game. #tekken6

I was apprehensive about the bounce system at first, but now I'm looking forward to trying it.
Also, are people really bitching about the game's graphics? I know I shouldn't be surprised, considering, but...really?

THIS. A THOUSAND FUCKING TIMES THIS.
I've played COD for hours and hours with full games on my PS3, relatively lag-free (I have a decent connection). The least a developer can do, if they're choosing to include online, MAKE IT GOOD. You're connecting, what, two people? Directly? Why is this so hard? Pay someone else to do it! I don't care! But there's a lot of time where I just don't have any local comp, mostly because my friends hate losing, and all I'd like is to be able to jump online and join a low- to no-lag game once in a while. Is that really too much to ask? (And you know they'll never patch it.) #tekken6

I'd also say Azazel is a minus but then again fighting bosses are usually cheap though I have to admit the guy in SC4 was retardedly easy.
Also arcade mode is ghost mode in this game which isn't bad - just there needs to be better ghost uploads - I mean really I've had a 40 win streak on ghost mode. Online is a bit laggy but maybe when it's out in EU/UK it'll be better for me. #tekken6

Annoying off-balancing feature for fighters. #tekken6

God Tier: Lag
Other Tier: Everyone else
...Seems to be the same as Soul Calibur IV. :P #tekken6
