Anyone catch Jack Tea bagging someone? It's around the 1:04 mark in the trailer if you blink you'll miss it.

Yes, he did, and I lol'ed.

Also, this is the first time I see the trailer and I can't help but say "OMG!" - just because I kick so much arse with Asuka and now I get to see her all "next-gen'ed".

So, what's with the "contortionist" character being a staple of fighting games lately? It's like Namco realized they left one out and put Zafina in.

You hear about the new "items" you can use. I saw another trailer on there and Xiayou (never could get that right) was turning people's heads into to teddy bear heads. Tekken also was kinda far fetched but now they are about to take this series MK overboard. The boss is a freaking dragon. Nuff said.

I don't care how ridiculous it is, I've tried the arcade version and it was fucking intense. I want it. And according to translations of the arcade version, the plot is pretty decent for a fighting game.

I hope he isn't a cheating bastard. *shakes fist at jinpachi - he then freezes it and fires an un-dodgeable blast of energy which takes off 3/4ths of you health bar, and if I did dodge it, he fires 3 more in succession with not enough time to dodge*

Graphics aren't exactly jaw dropping and the game mechanics were growing incredibly stale in five, so unless this game really shakes things up (IE doesn't rely on the introduction of two (2!) new characters and semi-swanky graphics to sell)I'm going to stick with Tekken 2.

...well they aren't focusing on 2 new characters. I think they got 4 or 5 new ones, and they are focusing on them. So I guess Tekken 2 is the way to go for you. Personally 3 was my favorite. Jin was the man. A good mix of Kazuya and Jun. After 3 though they messed him up big time.

Yeah but it didn't have a kickboxing velocoraptor which is something every game should have.

It does have a kickboxing Kangaroo, a giant panda that wrestles people and a Golem. I think they're a bit more impressive.

It's true. I can't think of a game that would have suffered because of a kickboxing velociraptor.

RAGE. INCOHERENT RAGE AT JINPACHI. RAAAAAWR. He made me nearly break my PS2 controller in half. It was even worse using characters I wasn't good with just to unlock more characters RAGHHHH. XO

I really like the Tekken series but i must say that the new Street Fighter looks far more entertaining and has a more original style.

That is a good question really. The graphics barely look different, the controls are the same. They just add a few new characters and slap on a stupid story!

They keep making new Tekkens because they still earn money. It earns more money in the US than VF, which pains me greatly with all the gimmicky muck that's in there.

T6's new features are a rage system that powers up people at low health and bound combo's which are akin to VF's slams (VF5R in turn is copying Tekken's smack into the ground relaunch thing which is dramatically increasing combo damage). The usable items are mainly just dress up or so ff-in slow that you deserved getting mangled.

Leo, Zafina, Bob, Miguel, jet fighter girl, dude with ugliest hair ever. More than 2 new charry's.

Tekken 4 being fav out it all. The stages were better.

I will at least rent this, Tekken 5 was just a little too ridiculous with the devil gene stuff for my liking.

Hm, really? I had issues with how slow T4 was, though the best thing in that game they should've carried over was the practice-combo thing that forced you to hit the combo maps properly.

I still have nightmares about Steve's ugly shirt. *shudders*

Well, apparently the Ps3 will not be getting Tekken 6.
It will be getting Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion

What is Bloodline Rebellion? See for yourself.

The real question about Tekken 6:

Bob: WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

And for bonus marks, what were they on?

Well, you could say that about any fighting franchise besides Super Smash Bros.

Tekken 4 is applauded and reviled by two different audiences. A lot of people who mainly play other fighting games thought it was a fresh breath of air for the series. A lot of people from the Tekken community thought it broke their fave game. Too bad Jin was uber uber uber tier and if you played even half decent with the guy there was just no stopping him. I'd have loved to see what'd turned up if they'd have kept that system of movement and mechanics.

You moved like a beached whale though, especially on the backdash, that needed changing.

Indigo Dingo:
Well, Virtua Fighter is pretty clear cut how it came to be as well. All the characters are designed from the ground up around their fighting style. The audience then demanded more and more crazy items, thus creating the insane costume options of today.

Doctor Panda:
Bob, because Tekken is about it's off the wall characters. They can't go two iterations without introducing an animal or something. And then Capcom justified their choice by putting Rufus in SF4...

Yeah, I wasn't too good with the fact you moved like a beached whale, which is a pretty good term for it. I get my butt kicked constantly by people who are half-decent/really good with Jin. Then again, I'm the inbetween a button masher and someone who knows combos.

News flash. Tekken 6 is no longer exclusive. It is going on X-box 360 too. Damn, that was our game. I saw it on You-tube and Gamtrailers.com

Yes, yes, another cross-platforming thing that's delaying a game I want to play AGAIN. *getting really annoyed by it now* *grumbles* *kicks dirt*
