tekken 5 is out

its been out since the 24th and i had no idea. i almost feel like a bad parent or something.

gamespot review: 9.2

it also includes tekken, tekken 2, and tekken 3. only ***** is that i heard a while back that heihachi is dead, but it looks like his dad is in this one so hopefully they are all around the same character. i know tekken 4 might as well not have ever existed, but from what im hearing 5 is different.

im already 50 bucks poorer.

I know and its killing me. Being a HUGE Tekken fan I been waiting for this. Since the exchange here hasn’t recieved it yet I’ve been just playing the demo that came with DEATH BY DEGREES.

is it only coming out on PS2 ?

im sorry if you wasted your money on that crap :stuck_out_tongue: :o :stuck_out_tongue:

heihachi isn’t dead.
it was all a marketing scheme.

how Is death by degrees anyway?

I’m definately getting that and tekken 5 in the near future.

Death By Degrees is pretty nice. Fighting system is like Rise of Honor but you do get to pull off Nina’s signature moves. It does get fustrating at time but its fun. It some mags and sites have rated it too harshly most give it a 5 but I would give it a 7~8.

I’m not farmiliar with rise of honour,
but I think I’ll get it anyway, just because it’s a part of the whole tekken lore.
I’m looking forward to getting a copy of tekken 5 as well.
not too many games out there right now that I’m thrilled about.

tekken is best done with screwdrivers. it’s mathematic:

tekken + drinking games = drekken

you can make up your own rules about what constitutes a drinking moment (a loss, a flawless, etc.), but all you need is some wodka, oj and a few buddies.

and voodoo vince is still the best game on the xbox. :slight_smile:

ha … its good to hear that im not the only one who’s done that.

we’ve done it with tekken bowling too.

One flawless and one two-hit victory over Jinpachi with Kazuya on my first story playthrough.

I even hit him with Mishima-Style 10 Hit Combo #1.

Dude, check it: Ogre - - Jinpachi - - Heihachi.

why do they act like heihachi is dead then :mad:

… they dont even have tekken 5 listed as one of his appearances when you go here.

dont get me wrong … im ecstatic hes actually in the game … i just wish they hadn’t given me over a year of sulking for it.

Check out the characters HERE. This site is pretty much THE source for tekken info.

Vash, do you happen to know what difficulty setting you played at? Also, what did you think of the many ‘distance’ attacks now? Or, did the computer not use them?

With the advent of CS:Source all tekken moves were rendered obsolete.

camping awp bastages could take out anyone of those leaping lunatics from 1000 yards behind the doubles doors at Bombsite B.

:smiley:

I bought it. I stink at fighting games, but they are fun. I can’t beat the big guy at the end of story. My gf likes playing since she can be a panda. She also likes translating the Japanese for me (it’s sometimes different than the subtitles).

I’ve owned Jinpachi at every level except Ultra Hard (Kazuya being the favorite of mine).

I’m not really fond of the distance attacks (except Devil Jin’s - that one’s okay), as I freeze up when I try to sidestep. Sometimes, I’d end up dashing into them.

I’m not really fond of the stuns, either. Though the Mishima style is rife with them, Jinpachi drops them out like a baby craps green.

And his attacks always take priority when he and player attack at same time. And his reach is sick.

Good thing I’ve got such skewls.

I may check it out, but I’ve never been a tekken fan. When the original tekken and tekken 2 came out, I was playing virtua fighter 2. I like the more recent virtua fighter games as well.

Early on, the VF series was MUCH better than the Tekken series. As of T3, however, Tekken just became more fun. The fighting systems are fairly different, though, so you’ll find few players that are REALLY good at both.

Too bad I don’t have an XBox or PS2 …

What are you waiting on? buy one… NOW!

Heh, I still have training equipment to buy - I 'd rather spend the $$$'s & time on training than on playing games on the xbox/ps2. I no longer have the kind of time I used to when I was young & w/o responsibilities and could spend an hour or so a day getting really good at a video game.
