As for not wanting to take the time to learn the character, that IS a valid argument.  Most people who will buy the game feels that way.  You have to know when you're in the 10% and what the rest of the community wants who play the game.  I can be competetive.  I compete.  You cannot say to me, "Oh, you're incompetent," when you yourself don't have friends on your level.  Who keeps you on your feet?  The AI?

Of all my friends, I'm probably the worst at Tekken.  However, I'm still not bad by any stretch.

Maybe part of our difference in opinion stems from me starting Tekken with the first one, where is seems you started later in the series.  You should try the original if you haven't , you may like it (or not and understand where I am coming from) it has a small roster and no where near the depth of moves. It seems closer to what you want. 

 

I'm not trying to say you're incompetent if I had to guess I'd guess you are pretty good. I also don't mean to make it sound as if I think I am good, I know I'm better than the people I play with, but even if I were king of the morons I'd still be a moron.

 

Anywho, cheers.


Who hadn't played the first game?  It and the Tekken 2 lack damage scaling.  The games are slow, stiff, and have aged terribly.  I can hardly get into Tekken 5 anynmore, let alone 4, 3, Tag 1, or the 1st two.  Yoshimitsu gets easy kills off stabbing and 10 hit combos.  Side-stepping is non-existent, and Tekken 1 and 2 are both 2.5D games.  And attacks are lacking.  Any type of set-up I know, or actvely do in TTT2 isn't possible in any other game.  Tekken 6 included.  It leaves me in a state where I have to remember what moves are specifically unavaliable, and have to improvise new stuff on the spot.

I also don't have any of my main characters, in games before Tekken 5, so I'm basically stuck using Yoshimitsu.

I play lots of fighting games.  I adjust to what is avaliable.  I bought Tekken 2 from PSN when it was on sale for .99 cents.  I never play it.  Not interested.  Same for Virtua Fighter 2.

Anyway, don't keep this thread alive over this conversation, just PM me this isn't a chat room.  But, I felt compelled to make one last post.
