TEKKEN 6 Bloodline Rebellion Thread - PS3/XBOX 360 Oct. 27, PSP Nov. 3

Zafina is supposedly hot ass now, since her good shit(df+2, df+4, WS+2, some stance shit) is all either range reduced or hella punishable now. =/

Her design is a little shitty, what with the wings and all, I am very interested in her combos and such ever since I saw her take her head off and hit a dude with it. Hopefully there are enough customization options that can make her look a lot better.

Miguel being nerfed made me pissed cause he was my main in 6.0, but now even his ff+2,1 is shit. Lars killed me when i first played him, dude was literally throwing launchers out like hot cakes.

anyone else here gonna try to pick up steve? cause i know i am

Was she even up there before? I don’t know.

It’s kinda fucked up how they raped the 6.0 characters. Mig was suppose to be beginner’s paradise. And the changes they made to Leo, I’m not interested in her anymore.

Lol. I was ashamed to admit that I was getting hit by every single Lars launcher. Nearly everytime. :rofl:

Fuck Steve. Ganny is going to body that bitch.

FlyMike: screw Ganny. King is damn solid. IIRC, I think Japan’s top 5 or 6 BR player is a King user. Nothing cheap either - just good, solid weapons.

Fixed. :rofl: I still have faith in Jin and Kazuya. :karate:

Kazuya > Jin. RLY.

Steve’s ok, honestly. Take some time and use him, and you’ll see that there are a large amount of holes. As a character, he’s good, but not unbeatable. The problem is when a GOOD player takes hold of him, then it becomes a difficult job.

But hey, look at the top players’ characters - how many are Steve’s?

It’s 5.0 all over again :wink:

Why are the bears such shit in 6? Do they have something against them?

Random note: I best see a damn Gorrilla in T7.

Bears almost always are low tier.

Also, steve in t6: br is nowhere near as ridiculous as T5.0 steve. Gotta remember that steve’s best launcher is 19f. You’ve just got to keep your back away from the wall. Characters with a strong high-crush game have it a bit easier here, double win if they have an unchickenable punch parry.

Well, since Sega isn’t going to release VF5R any time soon( if ever), I’m interested in Tekken 6 BR. Well anyway, any match up chart for this game yet?

You and me both, sister.

Stop killing my faith in Jin. :rofl: Ok I am dumb when it comes to Tekken top players. How many of them use Steve? :wonder:

japan… i never seen any

korea… no one that i can recall of being noteworthy…

someone correct me if im wrong. MarkMan might know?!

Tier lists y’mean?

There are two major ones so far, Korean and Japan, and you can actually sum it up as:

Steve, Law, bunch of other dudes no more than 10 at S-A+ tier. Yoshi, Miguel, Zaf at bottom, and everyone else is in the mid.

Oddly enough though, the top players mostly have “upper mid - mid tier” characters as their mains. And Arcadia’s tier list apparently doesn’t coincide with the Korean one.

So basically… aside from the nod to Steve and Law being the strongest characters, everyone else is divided. I don’t think anyone has ever said the words “Tekken” and “balanced” in the same sentence, but it looks like BR just made it so.

The only person from Korea I could think of was NIN, but I have talked to people who thought he was a scrub.

No, you’re right. No one worth mentioning has won a tourney with Steve (or Law IIRC), but they’re being given the nod as the strongest characters based on factors other than top level wins.

AFAIK, he didn’t win the last tourneys (hasn’t won any? not sure), but I could be wrong. Too many small tourney’s to follow.

I prefer Match up charts over tier list. This way, I can see who gets owned by top tier or who has a fighting chance. I don’t want to main a character that has a 7-3 match vs the best character in the game.

i forgot when the TimeZone? “International” tournament that Jinlo won. lucky strikes(LAW) whom took second! but yes there is too many tourneys world wide to keep up with ha!

Match-up charts don’t work for titles like Tekken, because the move lists are a lot longer. They work fine for SF due to SF having such a limit to attacks, and as such ways to go about a fight, but in tekken you have so many ways to play each character that a “match up chart” just isn’t physically possible.

Basically, any character can beat any character, consistently. It’s more-so about the player than the character every single fight. Some characters have an easier time winning in general than others, but that’s in general and not just on a per-fight basis.
