| The Fury said: You seem confused. Tekken 5 is the best. Tag 2 had an issue, the juggling broke it. I stopped playing it when I was playing online once and while a very even match between me and this person, I noticed I was near a wall so when they knocked me down, I stayed down to watch their move, roll away or try and counter their constant "get opponent in the air and win" tactics. There I was laying on the ground when suddenly they (as Asuka) did a move that bounced me in the air and they did a massive tag combo from that. They kicked me on the ground, I bounced up, not backwards like it used to, even in 6. Tekken went from "working out your opponents fighting style/prefered moves, blocking, when to counter or put pressure on correctly" to "get opponent in the air, do combo they can't block and win". SCV went under the radar a bit, not sure why. 4 had Star Wars promotion help. Not a fan of that series though. I had no issues with combos, if you could pull off a 120 hit in MvsC3, it was impressive to behold. But it is very scripted combos, a free flowing combo setup like MK9 or Tekken is far more satisfying as you have to learn the combo, not jut press a few buttons then let it play out. |
No, the combos aren't scripted in MvC3. There are certain attacks in the game that do 30, or 40 hits max, those are scripted, but not the entire 120 hit combo. SCV just sucked. That's why it went under.
From how you're talking, you're going to absolutely hate Tekken 7.
And, Tekken is still like how you described at first. Only people who don't know how to play allow themselves to get hit by combo after combo. People who know how to play are going to have more proper defense, and look for counter attacks, which deal more than usual damage. Paul's Pheonix smasher on rage + counter hit does about 1/3 damage, from a single attack, for example. If you're hit by that 3 times, you lose. But, if you were silly enough to get hit by it 3 times, you deserved to lose anyway.
However, I've bought Tekken 5 so many times. Once on PSP, twice on PS2, and again on PS3. I have problems getting into it, because some characters are missing attacks. But, Tekken 5 has combos that deal 60%+ health too.
