Tekken 5 Question?

[Judge Pen]

I've heard this is the best fighting game since sliced bread and I'm considereing picking it up. Here's the deal: Video game budget is tight. Playing time is even less right now. I already own Soul Caliber II and Virture Fighter 4. Is Tekken worth the 50 bucks if I can only play it once or twice a week? Is it that much better than the games I already own?

[Judge Pen]

If you vote, then why or why not?

[Premier79]

Hmm best fighting game since slice bread? I dunno about that but it's pretty **** good. My video game collection includes mostly fighting games, such as Virtua fighter 4, soul caliber. Tekken 5 has the old features like survivor, team battle etc. but now it has Jin's Devil Within instead of the previous Tekken force, you can customize your characters just like Virtua Fighter 4, and you can play the old Tekkens as well. Now i can sell Tekken 3 and 4.

I bought Tenchu, Mercenaries, Devil may cry 3, and tekken 5 all relatively around the same time and I've been playing tekken 5 the most. I would highly recommend this though.

I doubt it's better than Virtua Fighter 4 but it really comes down to personal choice. I'd buy it in a second if I had a ps2, and now I'm seriously ponderin to get one.

[Starchaser107]

I have virtua fighter 4 , while it is a fun game tekken has always had better game controls imo. it feels more like actual combat. If you enjoy fighting games jp, you won't be disappointed.
another advantage to tekken is the rich history the charcters have. which is part of what makes it so enjoyable.
me being accustomed to that makes virtura fighter less enjoyable

Tekken 5 > All.

I'd argue it has the best graphics seen on the PS2 hardware, both in-game and movies.

The only problem: Jinpachi is unplayable. And, he cheats. A lot.

But really, buy it, love it, believe.

Why? Because it's Tekken, because it's 5, and because I said so.

[Premier79]

I was really disappointed with not being able to play Jinpachi. I was looking forward to using him and cheating my friends just how he cheats me when i try to beat him. Gotta love the customization though, even though it's a rip off of virtua fighter.

[Kristoffer]

VF and Tekken are different animals so maybe it's wrong of me to say something is better than the other. When you compare the best fighting games out right now, it's mostly just personal taste it comes down to. For me I find the VF series more interesting because I can see the traces of Sega. But don't kid yourself, there's a new game in town, and this one is **** beautiful. I'm gonna have to get myself a ps2 now

edit: so, is Jinpachi a boss or something?

[Judge Pen]

I like playing as Feng Wei. How do you beat Jinpachi?

[Starchaser107]

you beat him with 5k!llz.

jinpachi = final boss. :p

[ShaolinJOJO]

You gotta admit that nothing beats a good old game of Street Fighter V.S SNK :D

[Judge Pen]

you beat him with 5k!llz.

jinpachi = final boss. :p

You are so enlightening! :mad: :D

[Starchaser107]

well I realy haven't played it yet, but run a google and type in tekken 5 cheats and see what turns up.
that is if you don't mind not finding out some things on your own.
namco probably also has a decent strategy guide on it available which if its anything like the one i got for tekken 3 should be pretty good about giving you helpful strategies and combos for all the characters.

[Vash]

Indeed. The BradyGames guide is much more thorough than any martial arts text I've come across.

[Starchaser107]

Word, Once we get to a certain level in our martial arts training we should all be able to download our own personal dossiers, complete with move lists and strategy guides, cheats and helpful tips.

[Premier79]

Who are you trying to beat Jinpachi with??

[Starchaser107]

mario


j/k
I think he said the kenpo guy Feng or something.

[Premier79]

LoL Luigi will own mario. ah that feng guy. I beat Jinpachi w/ him but don't know how to use feng that well yet. Will play with him more and see if i can come up with a good strategy.

[Kristoffer]

So u who got it, how is this Raven guy to play with?

:D that's actually a **** cool idea

[Judge Pen]

I havent' gotten to play that much yet. Raven seems very powerful, but I cant' get the hang of his moves. My gf, who stinks at games, rourinely owns me with Asuka. It's very frusterating.

[Starchaser107]

Kris if you can get these to play, you'll have some idea of how raven moves

JP you really should check out the brady games site..or
practice mode
you can set the computer to any difficulty level there or just have it stand still
you can even have it do blocks alone attack only a certain range (high, low or mid)
shizzle.

[Kristoffer]
