No, but you can pick up Arakune and mash bugs out to win. #blazblueportable
11/04/09
Or you can pick Rachel and spam lightning rods.
Or you can pick Bang or Hakumen and mash counter.
Cry more, it's called l2p. #blazblueportable

All those don't work on good players. Arakune mashing bugs works against people of all levels. #blazblueportable
11/04/09
None of those*
terrible grammar on my part #blazblueportable

-long throw break window (~8 frames?, fastest poke is 5 frames. you can basically poke out of any throw making it useless outside of carl's clap trap. there is also throw break buffering which makes throws even more useless [except against people who mash recovery and terrible scrubs, who you really don't even need to throw to win]... Read More
-slow pokes (going back to the 4-5 frame poke thing. you can basically jump out of every mix-up or pressure string since pokes are so slow. also making you be able to block 90% of attacks without fd in the air without tension means even scrubs can jump out of any pressure string, unlike in gg you would have a risk/reward of losing tension and eating meaty anti airs if you tried to jump out of shit
-3 way roll (another way to help scrubs who don't know how to block oki wakeup games by removing it completely)
-zoning (top tier characters are too good at zoning and pressure except carl[who will fucking kill you off a 5a], whereas most of the cast can only do shit once they up close. either make pure zoning characters or pure rushdown. characters with both will obviously unbalance game
-There are lots more character specific shit that I don't feel like getting into.
I wouldn't say roster size is the only flaw... #blazblueportable

The PSP's hardware doesn't offer that much flexibility in terms of pixel-level rendering, unfortunately. That's also a reason why Valkyria Chronicles 2 on the PSP doesn't have the celshaded style of the first game (they didn't even implement at least outlines). #blazblueportable

That makes me glad I didn't end up buying it then. I can't even pick up Street Fighter IV, do Street Fighter-like moves and win. #blazblueportable

You can charge buffer and charge partition to throw sonic booms faster than fireballs. #blazblueportable

i bought my psp for street fighter alpha 3 and tekken dark resurrection many moons ago.. and man do those controls suck.
i absolutely loathe the analog nub, and the way the dpad sinks in on the psp makes it unusable for precise fighting.
i have mvs and cps2 emulators on my psp, and man does it make me mad to try and play seriously. so yeah its possible.. but not all that fun (cept powerstone.. that game was great on the psp). #blazblueportable

Tekken the Movie - Where the heck did this come from?
The Movie based on popular fighting game Tekken was actually made. Unlike the upcoming facepalm worthy King of Fighters film which stars Ray Park and Maggie Q among others. The Tekken film took a different route in terms of casting. The cast is almost entirely stuntman and martial artists which may help make this film a lot more interesting and may cut down on poorly executed wirework. It remains to be seen if the story is up to snuff, which in all likelihood wont be. Nevertheless this will be interesting to see. The film premiere's Thursday in Santa Monica followed by an afterparty at a trendy Hollywood Nightclub. See official press release below.

Did it happen or did Jin win the whole tournament again with his Devil form?
I'd buy it myself, but I have no monies T__T (wiki's no help either) #tekken6
10/30/09
Devil Jin then open can of whop ass on Hwrang and was about to kill him.
Then Gon jumped in and farted so the two fighters were stunned and confused. Gon in the mist of confusion threw them in the air and ate them both.
The end
Oh yea forgot to mention that Panda still rejected Kuma. Not because Panda hates Kuma, it's just that Panda found out she was a lesbian.
Hitatchi finally build up enough stress where he got a hernia but no one noticed since he wears a diaper anyways.
Just rent the game if you don't have enough to buy it. I'm running out of ideas what happened, plus it's hard typing when your past the buzzing stage after drinking. #tekken6
10/30/09
Also your grammar is impeccable for someone who's supposedly drunk. Its LIKE YOU'RE NOT DRUNK AT ALL.
@Goldwings: Part of what Neko said was true, Hwang was about to defeat him Jin but Jin went all Devil and almost killed Hwang, he almost died but he his master saved him, Hwang woke up from a coma after 3 days and begged his master to train him as hard as possible, Baek took him in as a pupil again and gave him his toughest training regimen.
Hwang is now back and hopefully can bring Jin down once for all. #tekken6

I guess I have one less ending to go through since with the spoiler (it's all good). I can't wait to pick up my limited edition bundle next Wednesday. #tekken6

bound? rage? floor breaking? reduced juggle damage? universal 10frame jab? reduced sidestep? no more guaranteed launcher off of a low parry? different wall combos? wake up kicks only knockdown on CH?
NOTHING
just "campaign sucks" and "online sucks" #tekken6

This series still has issuses with its backdrops just being scrolling jpegs and with bizzare ass choices for unlocking content. Sadly the best way to unlock your favorite characters items is to play the lack luster scenario mode everyone is bitching about. It's not a quick trip either, it looks to be at least 3 to 4 hours long.
Past that the game is still as enjoyable to play as its always been characters get new moves and further balancing and while the game isn't mindblowing graphically its holds up well in every mode except scenario.
If you like Tekken you should already know if you want this or not. #tekken6

I think Kotaku said it best, All they had to give us was a solid game and a solid way to find competition (online mode), but instead they also decied to give us a SINGLE (No Co-op WTF) player experience...which kind of sucks.
When it does add Co-op it might be better because I have those friends that only want to play with you and never against you.
Anyway the way I see it, 2/3 of the game sucks (Online, and Single Player) The Versus is awesome, but still there was alot of room for improvement (Graphics, Presentation, LOADING). Also I'm surprised nobody mentioned Azazel, he is a terribly annoying and cheap boss fight, makes it hard caring about the end stories knowing you have to fight him. #tekken6
10/30/09
no one mentioned azazel because he sucks. i beat him using steve and all i did was 121. #tekken6

All reviews of Tekken 6 I've read do mention the Rage system, as have all reviews of SF4 mentioned the Focus Attacks or the Rage meter.
The difference with reviews and what you're looking for - in depth analysis of hit frames, recovery times etc, basically FAQs - is that reviews are general game criticism at best - the good ol' "graphics, sound, gameplay" breakdown, preferably conforming with style guides and less than 500 words - or consumer guides at worst.
Bringing it back to the movie analogy, if I ask you if a movie was good, would you answer yes or no, or go into the minutia, as I slowly move away from you? #tekken6
