Actually, from my exerience, the combos in Tekken 6 are very different than the ones in Tekken 5, especially due to the new B! system. In 3D fighters, it's very important to know the frame data. You must know what moves you can use to punish the opponent. Also, in high-level play, you don't see combos very often; they win matches a little bit at a time.

The coolest thing I've ever done is 720-ing an Arakune out of a dive. It was very satisfying.

Anyone else play on Live? I main Wolf and Lei-Fei, in case anyone ever runs into me.

His tackle strings can catch people off-guard every once and a while (I think b+4, 2, 1+2, etc.). Also, iWR+2 is as beastly as it gets.

You've got to be careful, because Tekken 6 and Bloodline Rebellion (the one we're playing on console) have different tier lists.

I'm sorry, but I must disagree; you talk about it like this is KoFXII or something. The only real issue I've had is the online play and text size. I can see how input delay could be another issue for HDTV owners, but this game is actually very well made (8.5~9.0, IMO).

To be fair, Dragunov's juggles and mini-combos aren't incredibly difficult to pull off either. King's can get kind of tricky, though.

98 is the only game that gets any attention on GGPO. Everyone knows that.

Playing Tekken can be compared to playing as Tager; it's simply a matter of learning common tactics and how to counter them. Trust me, once you learn those dumb tricks the scrubs love so much, they won't stand a chance. Also, you need to practice a ton.

My interest in Bryan died when I used his new WS2, f_b2. The awesome laugh is gone... I'm sad, I haven't been able to touch my 360 since the day Tekken 6 came out. EDIT: I just found out that they do change the break input. Muahahahahaha!!!

I can't test it right now, but do the grabs which have more than one command change breaks when you change inputs? If so, my King just got about 10x scarier. If not, I just wasted a lot of time in Training mode... Also, this:

IIRC, the top-tier in this game is Lars. Also, Dragunov is upper-mid now. Also, the best way to know if your combos are actually legit is to go into Training and turn on the "Stand To Block" option. The CPU will eat your first hit and then block after any holes.

After ~15 hours of practice (mainly on PSP DR), I've finally mastered all of King's chain grabs. Sort of. Now, I've just got to find a way to make sure they don't get broken. Oh, and yes, I like u/f3 myself.

Apparently they have trouble with Dragunov's b1+2_d/b3 mixup. I just discovered Miguel; I think he would be pretty cool to learn as well. Although, if I ever landed his unblockable, a ragequit would be sure to follow. It already happens with Dragunov's.

Just in case you guys were wondering, there is a sort of Dustloop for Tekken called Tekken Zaibatsu. Here is the link for the Tekken 6 page: http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=139. Be aware, however, that info is a little more difficult to find than it is on DL, and the notation is rather complex.

The 10-hit combos aren't actually combos-they are just for show. From the sound of it, the online has been improved. I can't wait to try it out!

The only complaint I have with offline play is the lack of SDTV-support (its very difficult to read the move lists, and the micro-text tickers are nigh impossible to make out). The characters are great as always, the gameplay is solid, and the new mechanics aren't unbalanced (at least not yet), the stages are nice, the customization is great, and the music is fantastic. Well, at least most of it is, anyways (LISTEN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuBKuYMqtgQ ). Online, however, is a different story. The lag is dreadful so far (there is input delay on the character select screen), but I have faith that a super-patch is on its way. Until then, Training mode is the only mode for me. Oh yeah, the player base isn't very good from what I've seen, either. I had one guy flame me because I beat him by blocking his attacks and attacking him back too much. Ugh, those types of people don't deserve to play video games with other people.

Wow, the online is doing a lot better lately (HZMN and I are getting ~80 ping where we used to get ~175)! Excellent!

Oh. Maybe if you delete and re-download it the problem will go away; perhaps the download got corrupted. Of course, I'm just throwing stuff out here; I have no idea what I'm talking about. So, who else mains Tizoc?
