FlyMike:

Man I’m just going to be honest with you. Anyone that doesn’t really have a clue of how Tekken is played at a high level, isn’t gonna to make much of watching matches besides what you’re seeing. They don’t know the amount of spacing, defending, punishing, countering, KNOWING, that is involved in the minds of the players. It’s definitely way more involved than the usually percieved “dancing around, fishing for a launcher”. Hell, the launcher is your REWARD. At it’s competitive level, Tekken is not an easy mode game. Only so much can be done on reaction. The rest has to be learned, studied, stored. All those little pokes you see, or any move for that matter, is either the well-made, or poorly decided, decision of the player at that particular moment or situation. Frames are a big part of it, but even most people who don’t know numbers know what punishes, crushes, trades, beats what. It matters. More know-how, strategy, mental involved. Less random. In fact, random hardly ever wins.

Again, this is best as I can put it. People are still going to perceive what they want. But until one truly understands and gets into the intricate facets of the game, they will never truly know how much strategy is involved. That’s why it’s a good thing that the game can be played on many levels. And among these levels the gameplay, and what “wins”, varies. But at it’s highest level, it’s definitely not pokey->magical launcher, despite what it looks like.

P.S. A good experience, or intervention as I’d like to call it, would be to try to play a “good” Tekken player. One who truly understands how the game is played. Bring to the match your perceptions, and what you think winning is based on. Ok, now see how long you last. Even when you lose, badly, you still win. Because you will undoubtedly become interested in what makes this player so “godly” that he is able to crush you without much effort despite you knowing all your moves, combos, etc. And it is simply because he is just one of the players of the game. Who went beyond the surface. Who properly learned the game. It makes a huge bit of difference actually.

QFT , u tell’em Mike !

seriously , anyone that thinks Tekken is just " dancing around , fishing for a launcher " means they’re either new to Tekken or just plain dumb

STEP YO GAME UP DUDEZ !!!

DMasta718 · October 20, 2009, 6:29am

So…whistles

Boxart?

NinjaMic · October 20, 2009, 8:58am

what he said

FlyMike · October 20, 2009, 9:00am

Lol. Yea some people just don’t understand the game from the outside looking in. Or just play it casually and barely scratch the surface. It’s quite unfortunate.

Shodokan123 · October 20, 2009, 9:56pm

I see more matches of steve. bob and other top tiers that have maybe ONE launcher than ones that are combo fests. The game revolves on DISTANCE, memorization, punishment and footsies as well as the whole combo/launcher aspect. Punishing is huge in this game, if you arn’t going to put the time into learning what you can punish with what then don’t bother taking it seriously.

protomanSTi · October 21, 2009, 1:23am

He’s trolling you guys. It’s not out yet on scene release…so unless he’s a media guy hes floppin hard

ejdge · October 21, 2009, 10:45pm

Anyone know whether the 360 or ps3 version will most likely be used for tourneys?

Anti-Freak · October 21, 2009, 11:01pm

System_1 · October 22, 2009, 12:39am

Is it just me, or is anyone else annoyed that Namco is only releasing the artbook with the 150.00 bundle? I don’t want a wireless stick that I’ll never use, but would like the artbook. Unfortunately, it seems the only way to get it will be to get eye gouged on Ebay.

Anyone know of a way to get the artbook without the bundle, besides Ebay?

NinjaMic · October 22, 2009, 1:29am

Heads up:

Order Tekken 6 from Amazon.com and put in 5TEKKEN6 in the gift code box for 5 bucks off

With release date delivery, that brings the cost to 54 bucks…hell yeah

Yin · October 22, 2009, 2:07am

I am. I love artbooks :xeye:
