Tekken players, who's your favorite fighter?

[arcadian]

I like Anna Williams.

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. Funny, I'm always Nina.

Hi sis! :hi:

[TK421]

2. Lee Chaolan.....if you know how to play him right, NOBODY can beat you

NOBODY...and I really like his badass character

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. Duel! It is so on!

No one can beat me as Nina! I will twist your head off and then toss you eight feet! :P

[Broken_Hero]

6. agreed, I'll destory both of ya....

Lee is a one hit kick wonder, but Nina....she is another ball of wax...In my view, she is probably the second best fighter....

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. Nina is badass.

I am unstoppable at Tekken Tag Team with Nina and Angel. All shall fear me. :silly:

[Broken_Hero]

11. Ha, I'll use Jin and his momma

to bring you down, :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. Oh it's on!

On til' the break of dawn! :rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

15. :)

its been a while since I talked Tekken...btw, I just got Tekken 5 about a month ago...Jinpachi is one cheat ass bastard.

Tekken 5 made up for the travesty which was known as Tekken 4

[TK421]

22. The only thing I don't like about Jin is his lack of moves...they seem too simple and boring

at times....but if you know how to play him right, you will do quite well in the end...

Uh...of course I kicked his ass all over the place, and not just against the CPU

[Broken_Hero]

35. hmm, lack of moves, like

what exactly, combo's, or ?

[TK421]

40. Unlike other characters, he was mainly kicks and punches...very one dimensional

had one reversal ( punch reversal )? I think that's what it was, but to me it just wasn't exciting to play him because he just didn't have much of an arsenal ( that's the best word, I think to describe this) at his disposal. He just.......punched! and kicked! Yeah, he had that cheesy spin-kick, but that's about it.

[Broken_Hero]

47. He has both kick/punch reveresal

as for he just punched and kicked...isn't that what they all do, basically?

:hide:

:D

He has quite a bit in his arsenal, hmmm I believe I use around 13 differing moves that are considered special moves for him, beyond just LP, RP, LK, RK.

But, different strokes for different folks...:D





One of the main reasons why I liked Tekken so much, was the side stepping, and side throws/back throws that could be done.

[TK421]

53. My mistake, then...I must have forgotten he had a kick reversal

reversals ARE key in winning this game, ultimately...IMHO

[Broken_Hero]

59. Yep, kick/punch reversal

put the kibosh to 10 hit, or linking combo's....my brother learned Lei very well and would try to do his ten hit combo's, and I'd always counter...I was like, how does it feel...that you spent hours/days learning those combo's, and all I gotta do is counter....

[TK421]

71. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that a great feeling?

going against a heavy hitter like that and turning it back on them? I know players who like learning Lei, but Lei leaves himself open WAY TOO MUCH for hits after his initial moves....and that's what sucks about him. You REALLY have to master that kind of fighting style to be comfortable enough with it so you can recover. I STILL haven't fought a Lei player who can recover after I sweep them off the floor with a Ali Kicks from King.....if you're playing against a tough CPU Lei...just use King and his Ali Kicks. No Problemo!!!!!!! Get the fucker OFF the ground, for a change!

[Broken_Hero]

72. That was another reason why I liked using King

he could finally counter something, kicks...

With King, I'm all about linking throws...I was dissapointed with Tekken 5, cause they made it easier to break the link moves...I hate it, that you have to do everything right, to make it work...now all your opponent has to do is hit his buttons a few times, and he breaks out...hogwash. :)

[TK421]

74. Hallejulah!!!!!! I hated that , too!

You get someone in a hold like that, and they can break free like that? BULLSHIT!!!! They are screwed in that maneuver, and you should link the following move next ( like Tekken 2 ) link after link...of course, it can be broken after SEVERE button-mashing ( which is required, playing against King ) to break free of the hold. Sure, it doesn't work all of the time.

[Broken_Hero]

76. Now you can counter, counters...

its getting ridiculous to a certain degree, but that issue with King and the opponent getting out of the throw, angered me, cause doing the links right/getting them down pat, took me a quite some time to learn, at least a month to get them all, and to figure ways to actually make them feasible.

[TK421]

80. Hey...I have to ask, but did you ever manage ( against the CPU )

to get a Half-Crab hold, STF, Power-Bomb combo out of him in one shot? The book says you can, and I think they call it a Manhattan Bomb ( at the end of the chain combo ). Clearly, I have tried this, and failed miserably...but I did get a leg-hold, neck-breaker and STF out of my combo that I performed. If done right, King is the frigging BOMB

[Broken_Hero]

82. No, not against the CPU...at least on ultra hard.

on the weaker practice levels I could, but never on ultra hard....

I spend most of my time in the practice portion, vs CPU on ultra hard...

[TK421]

17. Again, Nina does ROCK....and she is one of the characters I have mastered

at least in Tekken Tag...but I have also mastered King, Lee Chaolan, and Yoshimitsu.....

Probably the three most annoying characters to play against in this game? Yes?

[Broken_Hero]

23. Nah, to me the most annoying character is Dr. Boskonovitch

and when people use him, I pick Yoshi and sit on my sword...:D

In Tekken Tag, I know all of them....when I play people, I usually go through my list of characters, my best, through my weakest, and then I usually end up using Mokujin to give the people I'm fighting a chance. :D

[TK421]

25. Ooohhhh.....a Tekken Tag fan?

Who is your favorite character out of all of them?

[Broken_Hero]

30. Jin Kazama....

I hated the fact they gave him different moves in Tekken 4, but with Devil Jin in Tekken 5 they gave him his old moves back.

I play Tekken Tag Tournament the most, because they have a ton of characters, although Tekken 5 has a very good assortment of fighters.

I started with Tekken 2, where I liked Paul, and Jack 2, with Tekken 3, I totally delved into it, and came to the conclusion that for speed, counters, moves both high/low, and power...Jin was the way to go. After I mastered Jin I moved to other characters because people would get really frustrated losing to me(as Jin) numerous times....

To be honest, I haven't lost a Tekken Tag fight for at least 7yrs or so...Even longer if you count Tekken 3.

[TK421]

50. Oh my...that sounds a bit like a veiled challenge!!! Does it not?

Can I ask you, how did you like Lee Chaolans character?

I have kicked EVERYONES ass with this guy.......EVERYONE, and I have pretty much mastered the character, especially the Mist Wolf reversal kick ( which is lots and lots of fun, btw.. )

I liked Paul....again, I like characters who have reversal moves because when it comes to video games I have very quick reflexes...you almost become one with the controller. That's why I like characters like Nina, King, Lee, and Paul.

[Broken_Hero]

58. To be brutally honest

I think all the characters/fighters that are predominately kick heavy are weak especially when you think about kick counters. I loved countering with Jin(and others who could counter kicks/punches), because when I first started my Tekken kick, I would get my ass handed to me by guys like Law, Baek, Hworang, etc....

Lee to me is kick heavy, basically he has his power base in kicks, which means I don't have to worry much about him punching that much...also, if memory serves, a lot of his kicks are medium/high, which means to block his attacks isn't all that hard to do either.

I remember him having a fast knee/leg snap kick, and that was, for me very hard to counter, but beyond that I would counter much of Lee's kicking...there was another move where he would sweep with his legs, and that would throw me a loop, but other than that I didn't fear much from Lee.

In my experience most of the players I went up against used kick heavy fighters, where they could use two buttons, and tap them fast as can be and do neato stuff....

Lee is in my view, the fastest fighter though, he can kick/punch with lightning speed.

[TK421]

68. And if you master the side-step maneuver, you pretty much master the game with him

at least, that's what I learned...the side-step L2-R2 combo...the opponent is pretty much fucked

they are prone, and as fast as Lee is he just capitalizes on that weakness...then I just follow up with those cheap low kicks of his ( Infinity combo ) the great thing about that is once you're caught in that, you can't break out of it, and he just follows up with the Silver Sting or some shit like that.

[Broken_Hero]

70. Yes, I'm use to that as well, but not with Lee

though, I've gone up against some great Eddy players who tried to use side step a lot, and I would just side step with them...and we would still be facing one another.

I couldn't remember if Lee had the infinity combo, I knew Baek and Jun did, but I know at least 1 or 2 others did as well. I use side step about 40% of the time with Jin, I think the side step is probably one of the most underused moves in Tekken, because most people really don't understand how devesating that can be, especially when you side step, and go in for a throw...side throws do damn near...what, 50% damage....I started using side step with King at first, because I had to figure different ways to get in ,and start my linking throws....

ETA:with side steps, I change L2, and R2 via the options menu, so all I have to do is hit a button and I side step, at times doing the quick up up, or down down to sidestep wasn't fast enough, or it would work right...

[TK421]

73. Yes...I do the same side-step combo with my controller as well

and Lee has the Infinity combo...the only...and BEST infinity combo in the whole fucking game


What a total bad-ass this guy is....learn him......NOBODY will beat you, trust me on this!!!!!!

After the damage the Infinity combo inflicts, you can then juggle the opponent TO DEATH with the Rave War Combo ( don't know off-hand what that is...and I don't have the book near me ) but it's a juggle move that you can follow up with pretty much as soon as you land the Infinity Combo on them....they don't have a chance in Hell to recover....or you could just program the Hit Man stance to RI,R2 ( like I do ) and hit them with a Shin-Slicer to knock them off their feet ( also pretty good damage, to boot ).

[TK421]

75. I never cared much for Hwoarang....all feet...that's all you had to rely on

that style actually limits your fighting boundaries quite a bit. Sure, you can keep an opponent AWAY from you at times, but when it comes to inflicting damage you really have to know what is going on and what the fuck you are doing at the time....with Hwoarang it was all about tricky kicks and stances...

[TK421]

14. OK...I love Nina as a character, because she has a punch AND kick reversal

that I have frustrated many of my opponents with....that, I think is key here...

Lee is just so damned FAST ( I'm talking about Tekken Tag Tournament here... ) I took down the best Nina and Ling players in a matter of seconds with this guy....

[Broken_Hero]

18. she also has

very good high/low attacks, that she can mix up, and when she pops you in the air, she can do about 30percent damage, before you are able to get back on your feet again....

Plus she has halfway decent linking grabs...and she is pretty fast.

[TK421]

28. The Triangle Hold is the best one....I ALWAYS get my opponent with that one

about 60% damage, I believe...after the follow-up sit-down jab to the throat

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. It's true.

Ok, you and me, behind the alley. Tekken Tag - we'll both be Lee and Nina and see who comes out on top! :P

[TK421]

29. It's on...baby!!!@!#!#

It's now officially...DARKSIDED@!@@#@$#%#$^^JTYP:JU

[RevolutionaryActs]

32. LOL!

:wtf: :rofl:

[TK421]

77. You don't understand...well, maybe you do

I actually STUDIED this players guide to all of the moves of every player in the game.;...I've done it for years ( since Tekken Tag ...when I swore I would bury anyone who opposed me ) bring NINA on! I know she is tough in the hands of a good player....but you will have one hell of a fight on your hands. Don't expect a cake-walk....you're gonna get trounced.

[Broken_Hero]

78. Same here, except I started with Tekken III....

:D

Maybe with Tekken 6 they will have online fighting.....until then, the verbal kung fu, most continue...

[TK421]

81. HU-WAHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes!!!!!!

[Broken_Hero]

83. with Tekken III I told myself, I'm going to learn this bastard of a game

and I studied/played so much, I dreamed about playing...even when I was at work all that danced through my eyeballs was moves...

The first cheapo way I learned to put the kibosh to folks was with Paul, the hammer smash, leg kick which lifts the player up....when people would try to get up, I'd just hammer smash them back down...I have made people uber pissed at me, just using 1 move over/over again. Same with throw moves, I'd beat people just using throws....nothing makes folks madder when you don't even punch/kick them, you just throw them to death. :D

[arcadian]

26. Ling is exceptionally hard to master

But god damn does she kick ass.

[TK421]

36. Ling is THE hardest character to master...but that's because most of her moves involve

complex configurations of buttons ( now I'm talking about Playstation controllers here ) it seems to me that most of her combos, while damaging, take quite a bit of time to get off compared to other characters...that just my opinion.

That's why I never chose her...she was just TOO hard to learn! Like Lea ( the cop fighter dude )

[Broken_Hero]

38. What got me about Lei

was how he had differing moves, for each fighting style he can switch too(I think he could switch to at least 3 or 4 different fighting styles)...

I know his basic set, and his crane moves(which aren't many, but they are cool looking if you get it done right)

[RevolutionaryActs]

43. But if you can pull off Drunk Master.

And move into any kind of combo, you're set.

[arcadian]

48. He does drunken master too

Lei used to kick my ass with his little backwards flip kicks, til I figured out his weakness. Just stay outside. Anna is good at slapping him around because she has those long legs that can reach inside.

[TK421]

88. Anna is an AWESOME character....has both punch and kick reversals

and a very damaging kick of her own...her legs ( I believe I'm right here ) have the most damaging power than any character in the game. Her moves and throws do significant damage, and she's easy to link combos with.

[TK421]

79. He's just too difficult to master, or play for that matter

at least for me....he's all about reflex action...you have to hit the right button at the right moment for him to get out of a sticky situation. Of course, when he's laying on the ground, he has options

[Broken_Hero]

3. Jin Kazama, from Tekken III, and Tekken Tag Tournament

in part 4, and 5 they messed with him big time(move wise), and I believe they made him a weaker fighter....

He is my favorite, followed by Bryan, Paul, Heihachi, Nina, King

[TK421]

84. Bryan Fury!!!! I almost forgot about that guy!

the Fishermans Slam was one of my favorite ( and abused ) moves!!! What a brutal bastard he was!

[Broken_Hero]

85. Very strong, a few moves if they connected and it was game over

I liked using him at arcades, because he was simplier to use...I'm a console guy, and playing at the arcades, I was out of my element, so I had to use simplier fighters...

[TK421]

86. Funny thing about Heihachi...if you know how to play him right, you can't lose

he's just brute strength...and one of the most damaging characters in the game! His Lightning Hammer can drain 1/3rd of his opponents life meter in one frigging hit! His throws really hurt like hell, too.

[Broken_Hero]

87. Yep, to me is a cross betwen Jin/Paul

very devastating, and his unblockable the lighting/hammer fist is pretty fast, and does good damage.

[Broken_Hero]

4. They are making a live action movie too,

I just found out about a week ago....

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411951/

[arcadian]

7. My friends and I were talking about that.

we didn't know if they were making one, but everyone agreed that the game series has pretty much written a script for itself.

[Broken_Hero]

10. Yep, so far I'm not sure how to take the live action version

to me it seems they will focus on Steve Fox, which I think is a mistake...it has to be centered around the Kazuya/Mishima intrigue....

The anime of Tekken wasn't bad...

[Lethe]

8. this is sacrilege

Street Fighter is the only fighting game worth playing and/or talking about.



I will destroy you with Dan!

[Broken_Hero]

12. Ha, I grew up on Street Fighter

I'm not shabby at that either....

Zangief, or Ryu...hmm, I'd have to go with Ryu as my favorite of that series, although Akuma was pretty bad ass

[Lethe]

20. they are having a Street Fighter II tournament this weekend in Austin

but i couldn't go :(

i'm pretty sure i could have ranked in the top 10

Zangief commands respect, it takes skill to play him.

I play Ryu and Guile on SFII. Depends on the opponent. Sagat and Zangief are in the top 4 best characters in SFII.

[Broken_Hero]

27. I think the best, is Sagat, or BIson

so many different attacks, and strong throw moves(thats why I like Zangief)

I still got my Snes, and I play SFII turbo about four days a month...its been a long time since I actually played anyone, I just beat the hell outta the cheating nintendo...:)

[Lethe]

31. dhalsim is pretty good too

i have a friend that is crazy good with dhalsim on SFII on SNES. There is a trap he does, it is hard as hell to get out of. You have to be a superb Ryu or Guile fighter to survive.

The first time i fought him, I was like WTF?! Stop that! How the hell!? You bastard!!

[Danger Mouse]

21. Blanka FTW.

[Lethe]

24. i love playing blanka in SF alpha 3

he is fun. And he loves fruit.

[Fox Mulder]

34. Mortal Kombat is where it's at.

Street Fighter...:rofl:

Sub-Zero could kick all of their asses.

[Broken_Hero]

37. I love the MK series

I started with MKII, and with MK III it was on....

Sub was my favorite character of that series, but Smoke was one hell of a badass....:)

Ah, next someone is going to bring up Killer Instinct.....

:hide:

[Fox Mulder]

42. Killer Instinct...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The only good thing about Killer Instinct was her:

[Broken_Hero]

60. What?!?!?!

Wait til I tell Chief Thunder about this sacrilege!

[Lethe]

64. sacrilege!

sorry i just wanted to say sacrilege! again!

[Lethe]

39. yes MK is good

dude that would so rock if they made a Capcom Vs Midway game.

Guile would still own all kinds of Shang Tsung ass though .... :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

41. No way.. it's all about Scorpion.

Get over here!

[Fox Mulder]

44. Sub-Zero would wipe the floor with Scorpion.

:)

[RevolutionaryActs]

46. Nooo.

Well, maybe. But I like Scorpion better. So there! :P

[Fox Mulder]

51. ...

Now who's whipping whose ass? :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

54. I don't know.

I can't see the picture. :P

[Fox Mulder]

55. Or do you choose not to see the picture?

Right-click and click on "view image". :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

61. Doesn't work.

All I see is some crap about MobyGames. :o

[Fox Mulder]

69. How about now?

What's MobyGames? I just found the photo on a random website via Google.

[Lethe]

52. no way.....Night Wolf was the best

he had that awesome green magical bow and arrow like the blonde kid on the dungeons and dragons cartoon.

Also, a magical tomahawk and a bad ass shoulder smash.

[Broken_Hero]

63. Night Wolf

in my view was probably the best fighter in MK III a lot of different moves/specials he could do to you....

I remember the first time, he did the green reflector on me, when I was using Sub Zero, and I got myself froze when the ice bounced back at me, arrgh...the green aura messed up a lot of people.

[Lethe]

65. oh shit i forgot about that

the green reflector!

:D

[Broken_Hero]

66. yeah, green reflector

I know its not the proper name, but you know what I mean...:)

[TK421]

89. "Like the blonde kid on the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon"?

......:rofl: you just made my night! His name was Hank, he was the Ranger on the D&D cartoon.

I used to watch that cartoon as a kid.....I bought the entire series on DVD- great shit

[Lethe]

91. yeah that cartoon rocked - i mean it was pretty good for kids

it always had a good moral to the story

I just did some research, and teh Hank was voiced by Willie Ames, aka the dumbass on Charles in Charge

[TK421]

92. I used to wake up to that cartoon every Saturday morning...when there were cartoons

unlike today...when there is shit on TV...and I had my bowl of cereal ( usually Golden Grahams or some shit like that ). Maybe this is the problem with Amurka?

[Danger Mouse]

16. Kuma. Because he's a fucking bear.

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. It still amuses me that they named the bear "Bear"

*giggle*

[Danger Mouse]

45. They should've called him 'Fucking Bear' for emphasis.

Who needs speedy fancy characters? I like to use Kuma to brutally pound all competition, or Yoshimitsu to win through sheer annoyance.

[RevolutionaryActs]

49. If you and I played Tekken, this is what would happen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVFTXGqt2Yw




:rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

57. You wish. Kuma would crush Nina's puny skull with his massive paws of justice.

[Lethe]

56. pffft

she got nothin on chun li

[Lethe]

67. ever since i was a kid i've been attacted to girls with muscular thighs

yes i know it's weird, but thats what Chun Li did to me

[arcadian]

62. If this thread were choreographed to Tekken there would be some pretty good matches up in here.

KO! Great!

[Broken_Hero]

90. All right then...Tekken Bowling....which two characters do you use?>

and whats your high score?

I use Jin and Kazuya, high score 283 is the highest I've achived...my friend Tom who uses Nina/Anna has got 291, and thats the highest I've ever seen for Tekken Bowl

[TK421]

93. I'm going to bed now...just think....Lee Chaolan (sp?) worth mastering

I WILL be breaking out Tekken Tag Tournament tomorrow, thanks to you bastards!!!Q@!@#@

Just kidding about the bastards part, but I haven't played this game in ages, but I'm looking forward to it again....good night, my friends!

[Broken_Hero]

94. Same here,

Lee is one of the characters I've hardly spent anytime learning, cause he looked like a Baek rip off, but you have given me food for thought.

I would love to have someone beat me at this game, it would push me to be better, I've been complacent for a while. Night, :hi:

[DarkTirade]

95. I managed to miss it pretty completly until I found a used copy recently.

Finally got a chance to try it out... and found that it's the only fighting game I've ever played that I'm not very good at naturally. Go figure. :P So I had to actually learn how to do it and get used to the characters. Still haven't found a favorate, although I seem to be best with one character.

Can't for the life of me remember his name right now though. :P

I'm more of a 2d Mortal Kombat and 3d Soul Calibur guy myself. Didn't like the Street Fighter series as much for 2d, didn't like Mortal Kombat in 3d as much.
