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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
