mid brow Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Any Tekken players looking forward to T7? It'd be nice to link up with fellow watmm players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Indeed! Been a life-long Tekken player since the first one in arcades. Looking forward to getting back into Tekken as it's been a LONG time since Tekken 6 on PS3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 yes, fuck 2d fighters, not really but fuck them. I really look at them as two different game types, both have their strengths and weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Played #1-#3 loads back in the day but haven't played any of them from TTT onwards. Used to play the subgames in 3 absolutely loads - "CHICKEN!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 3d street fighter would be the titsThat was indeed a thing - My mate had it and remember it being pretty good though all we seemed to ever do was try and pull off all the long combo moves in the training thing....

ghOsty Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I think Tekken 5 was the last one I really played, but I've always been a fan of the series. I'll probably be picking this one up eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobot Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Haven't committed sepuku since TTT, might pick this one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace 7 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yah, Tekken 7 is good, but I haven't gotten into it (I'm in Tokyo, been checking it out since the beta releases). Feels like Tekken 6. ...But boy is it fucking beautiful. Up until 7 I felt that Tekken 6 was the most aesthetically pleasing fighting game I've ever played/seen, but Tekken 7 ups the ante. Street Fighter IV and V both look good, but I thought nothing of aesthetics being a major part of them. (...King Of Fighters XIII is possibly second place in aesthetics for me.) Something I took last year: http://imgur.com/oEsABPz Point being, overall the competitive scene seems to be dying a bit for Tekken 7. There's just something about Tekken that doesn't have longevity... Maybe the slower-paced tap-tap-tap type rhythm? To give some sort of comparison, the Virtua Fighter 5 competitive scene here is STILL STRONG, and that's like 6 years after the release of the final version. So I basically posted in this thread to say: VIRTUA FIGHTER FOR LIFE!!!!! MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...a. .a. .. . ha..... Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Street Fighter > Tekken (Haven't played either of the last ones though) no like jr said they're both very different and very fun. i find the mind games are more pure in tekken than in street fighter since there aren't really option selects in tekken. they're both still really fun. Yah, Tekken 7 is good, but I haven't gotten into it (I'm in Tokyo, been checking it out since the beta releases). Feels like Tekken 6. ...But boy is it fucking beautiful.

Man. i know jp is the vf stronghold but i'm surprised there weren't that many people playing t7. i've read that asian players are finally adopting online play and arcade attendance in general is starting to decline but i think in korea at least tekken is still doing pretty good. green arcade still always has players and is streaming: https://www.twitch.tv/greentekken god this game is going to be so good hope they do some online betas like they did with sfv so we can get a taste before feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peace 7 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Tokyo is still playing Tekken 7, but it has its ups and downs. I also don't go to game centers at peak hours anymore, cuz I'm not actively in the fighting game scene anymore. Peak hours = most awesome matches. It's like MMA but with 20 fights going on at the same time. And there's TVs around showing high ranking matches from around the world. When I was in middle school, Tokyo was my fighting game training grounds. Then when I went back to Hawaii for boarding school, I fought some top level shit like I was from the future.

Amen Warrior Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Luv tekken, I'd be up for some watmm games when it comes out. Everyone on ps4? Only thing a bit rubbish about modern tekken is it keeps getting more OTT/cheesy. Tekken 3 had a vibe all of its own and I wish they could recapture it.

NI64 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yeah Tekken 3 was definitely my favorite. Grew up playing the shit out of that game. I love Gon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Chloe is... weird (and that's saying something for a Tekken character). Play style looks interesting though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHcHOVyGOPQ LOL, that Chloe gets REKT by Lili...
