Just saw a commercial for the new Tekken at the movie theater

***Cosmonautical*** · 11-23-2009, 11:51 PM

Proclaiming it the "greatest fighting series of all time". I laughed and laughed.

Metal Man · 11-23-2009, 11:54 PM

Clearly, it's made for people who are more interested in watching than playing.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 11-24-2009, 02:03 AM

Meh, I'll watch it.

Hahahaha, oh wow.

Luigiman7 · 11-24-2009, 05:18 PM

I did the same thing at the preview for King of Fighters.

Maximum Spider · 11-24-2009, 06:52 PM

Meh, the movie is probably gonna suck anyway.

***Cosmonautical*** · 11-24-2009, 10:44 PM

No, I don't mean a movie. They're making a movie? The commercial was for the game.

My insult to the game turned it into a movie.

"Wow, how'd you do that three combo attack and made him fall over like that?"

"I DON'T KNOW, AAAUGH"

I didn't know they started putting video game commercials into movies, so I thought it must have been another video game movie.

It is actually one of the best Fighting game franchises of all time, though. Well, one of the best 3D Fighters anyway. Not the best fighting franchise ever though, for sure.

You seem to be confusing "slow as molasses" with "good"

Zharen · 11-29-2009, 10:12 PM

Never liked any of the Tekken games. I think I've played the first, 3rd and Tag Tournament. Could never get into it.

**Loot** · 11-29-2009, 10:27 PM

I remember playing the arcade cabinet of Tag Tournament. I think I actually beat it.

Yeah, Tekken is like the retarded brother of Soulcalibur. I only played a couple of them, but they're solid games. I remember being addicted to number 2. I should probably play the newer ones to see how they're coming along.

The Spark · 12-02-2009, 09:53 PM

Tekken 3 was my favorite game for the ps1, that is, until I discovered the Spyro games. I still love Tekken 3 though... My fave arcade fighting game EVA.

Soul Calibur works well as an arcade series. It's accessible to play, with a wide variety of characters, fighting styles, and arenas. It's so simple, though, I couldn't recommend it for anyone expecting it not to be shallow, because it is in a big way. And the voice acting, did they force the programming staff to do those voices or what?

But Tekken is similar to SC, sure. It's soooo clunky, though, I don't see the appeal. You play Marvel VS Capcom 2 or something, you get your ass kicked because the computer literally beat you to the punch or owned you with a more powerful move. Every time I've played Tekken, man, it's like I'm getting my ass kicked in slow motion because I didn't realize you have to initiate every move 5 seconds in advance of wanting it to occur. Its engine feels like a wrestling game, in a bad way.

1-up Salesman · 12-03-2009, 06:52 PM

Oh my gosh. I like SC though, and there's alot of depth (sort of) in the newer games. If you want to play a 3-D hand-to-hand fighting-game, play Dead Or Alive.
