Is there a story reason Nina is in a wedding dress? Or does that remain to be seen, and for now it's just about people fantasizing about finally marrying the woman they've been dreaming about since she was this

The guys at Namco have put together a recap for the first 3 Tekken games in case you're new to the story. With the rest probably coming soon.

It's a very serious and heartwarming tale.

This is so amazing.

I don't want to dissuade you from using whatever waifu you have your heart set on, but her go to damage BnBs are kind of tough since they rely on hitting while standing moves quickly and consistently

I mained Nina in 1, 2, 3 and 5, but didn't play much 6. Am I in for a bad time wading in with her? I know she's high execution but assuming she hasn't changed THAT much it's probably better that I stick with her than try someone I've got no experience, right?

I am 99% sure that PSN will have a significantly larger player base, but all the fun goons are gonna be on pc. Hell I'll probably double dip if there are as many more psn players as I think there will be.

I triple dipped when UMvC3 dropped since I had friends on both Xbone and PS4, and I wanted to see what mods looked like on PC. Probably wouldn't have done it if I didn't have Steam and Xbox credits. :D

That would be in line with the DLC cash grab of most games, but would be exactly the opposite of what Tekken has always done before.

I'm not real pumped about the Rage arts. I mean, they look cool, but they are WAY too freaking safe. If I hit you 3 times on your way over that should break the super move. Just played for a few hours with some friends and I literally had to play it as " oh crap, almost at red, let's play it safe until I can land a combo that will kill them completely"

Just don't throw out limbs when you have the life lead is what I've learned from rage arts. That or bait them into using it.

Yeah, after an hour or so of playing I learned that. It just really sucks that most of them combo off any hit, period. :(

I am reminded of how god awful I am at the game, because my biggest weakness is people who follow the complex mechanic of "jam on buttons". Hopefully playing online I get a win every 100 matches or so.

Also, man it feels good to use a Playstation pad again. I didn't play much Tekken 6, but I did it with a fightstick and it just feels so much better with a pad.

She has a number of attacks that she actually uses her head as a weapon, you likely attacked as she was throwing it at you.

absolutely anything posted:

She also specifically has a counter move where you punch her head off and get distracted.

Are you sure you're not thinking of her up-forward 1+2 throw? She takes her head off and hands it to a surprised enemy, then it blows up.

Then again, I haven't looked at anyone's move lists, I'm going off TO so you're probably right.


Your Computer posted:

I was just looking through her moveset and I think that's her parry actually, she learns forward and if your hit connects her head will fall off and she'll counterattack (headless) :haw:

Edit - I stand happily corrected.

Speaking of counters, is Kazumis only vulnerable to throws and Rage arts? I was drunkenly laughing last night as I perfected my friend twice in a row only using it.

The initial TE2's they made for USF4 do not and I have one of those and can confirm to you that it does not have one. They didn't make their initial ones with touchpads because they forgot I guess and I think it took a few more before they finally added them.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Ultra SF4 stick they released that was marketed as a PS3/PS4 stick, but was really just a PS3 stick that worked as a legacy stick in USF4/SF5?

I posted this a few pages back, but am still having problems. I got the game for PS4 and it had the pre-order character. I've been conditioned to always so poo poo on the PSN website on my PC, and not in game, so I entered the code on the website. I got a confirmation email for "Eliza voucher", but have not had the character appear. Someone recommended​going to the DLC section to download her, and I'm ASSUMING that's what I need to do because it's a voucher, but the only DLC I see on the website is the season pass. When I try to go to the PlayStation store from the main menu of the game, I get a pop up that it's not available.

I've emailed Sony support, but wanted to check again with anyone here to see if they've had the same issue.

I liked it alright, but then I skipped everything that wasn't a bad rear end Heihachi/Akuma cutscene.

See, I didn't really like Akuma's stuff. Maybe I'm just getting bored of him being oversaturated.

I liked how the story humanized Heihachi. As hard as the Kazumi fight was, I LOVED the in fight mini cuts where he would have memories of her... though it got old on the 50th try. :)


I just really like that ever since the beginning, the main characters of Tekken have not been good guys. Just lovely and shittier.

Tekken 1 seemed like a fairly simple Street Fighter parallel, Kazuya with the Ryu colors and Paul with the Ken colors, but boy oh boy did they evolve.

did a quick little ditty about the throw game in tekken

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MC2IltYoEc

so apparently its somewhat new, somewhat old. You only gotta pay attention to how their hands move on command throws vs every throw now.

Old Tekkens the standard 1+3 and 2+4 throws had to be broken by 1 and 2 respectively. Now, standard 1+3 and 2+4 throws can be broken by either 1 or 2, it appears. I approve of this change because I have friends that have been throw whores for 20 years and looking for the right or left hand to break it is pretty much impossible.

Command throws have always been trickier to break, though once your friend who only knows one variation of King's multi-grapple's grabs you it's easier because you know what's coming. :D

Tekken 7 replaces them with its insane and actually somewhat novel Story mode.

There's short character specific endings you access after story mode. Some are okay, most very short. I think Tekken 3 is the standout for best endings overall, most of the others are good animation but not necessarily "great".

I legitimately don't know why they exist and why Arcade Mode is still in the game and why those two things weren't merged together.

I'm happy with it, one fight to see an ending is better than 6. Arcade mode is there to tool around, Treasure mode to actually be productive single player.

1) They are, you just get boosted to 1st Dan for everyone once you hit it with one char because they want the lower ranks to be for 'literally doesn't know game mechanics' tier.
2) Your treasure mode rank is independent from your online rank, they're different.
