The Tekken 6 Thread - December 08 for PS3 JPN port, no info on US/World

No arcade tekken will EVER have an ending…ever. That’s always been a rarity with 3d fighters in the arcade to begin with…be thankful Tekken gets them when they come home…we’re still disconnected with the VF Cast because of no in-game-story whatsoever…

Our arcade owner said we should be getting tekken 6 next week.

Ours? Who is ours? Seeing that you’re from Philly, are you talking about UniPin?

Thanks. :smile:

Vids from the first socal tournament.

MYK has uploaded all the vids. Hella good matches, lots of games went the entire set.
Highlights
Grand Finals Aris (Dragonuv) vs Tensaikun (Zafina)
Ling vs Bob (calsonic vs myk)-if you like watching an uphill battle.
Aris vs MYK
Aris vs Suiken.
Kane’s DJ play if you like watching Devil Jin.
Rage Mode!

Aris is incredibly fun to watch. He’s the most aggressive tekken player I’ve ever seen or played against. Dragonuv has heavily improved from tekken 5 dr.
Bob and Zafina are too strong. In general the new characters are good.
I taught Calsonic how to play ling, that is all.

Dang those matches were hell short. If you can you should get the owner to set it to 3 rounds at least.

But good stuff :tup:

i want to get into tekken…i jumped on the bandwagon too late. havent played seriously since part 3

Where do you guys go for your tekken strats/faq’s and what not. I’ve v=been playing the hell out of DR recently

and how the hell do you do the lighting with the mishima’s i know its a dp motion but i only get the lighting randomly…:looney::looney::looney::looney::looney:

(forgive the scrub questions)

@ hold dat

You just have to be precious about timing. Ensure you do f,N,d~d/f+2, so that you’re fast from d to d/f and you press 2 (RP) with the d/f - it has some tolerance (3 frames to my knowlegde).

In other words, EWGF is just faster WGF (and has hell better properities like +5 frames on block). I suggest you to train it with Devil Jin. Heihachi has less tolerance and Kazuya can do it with missing “d” input (yeah, only f,N,d/f+2).

BTW there is a fellow site of SRK called Tekken Zaibatsu - www.tekkenzaibatsu.com, top website around unless you know Korean language, hehe (www.tekkencentral.com)

Thank you sir…i’ll be practicing that. I like King and Kaz. It seems that learning to use King will be like learning how to walk again. lol

Thanks for the Zaibatsu link

Can I just get a confirmation on how to dash to link Asuka’s b4, 2 ground bounce off her standard launcher? I can get it a few times, but a sometimes it doesn’t work. Can someone enlighten me to any specific details?

hold dat: to help you out with ewgfs, you don’t have to be fast with the motion, just accurate. It’s a common misconception when you first learn it.

It’s not like a dp motion first of all because you must go to neutral. If you just do dp motions, no matter how fast you do it, it will not come out.

Basically start by doing the f, n,d,df motion so you can see the crouch dash.

The trick is push “2” when you’re in the finger or hand is on the down part of the motion, ensuring it comes exactly out when you hit downforward. You shouldn’t see the character do a crouch dash.

if you’re getting d+2, your motion isn’t accurate and you’re pushing 2 too fast.

if you’re getting df+2, your motion isn’t accurate, you may or may not be pushing it at the right time but you’re not going through neutral.

this sounds complicated but it’s easier if you practice on a good pad. I think you’re a pad player anyway so that works because pad is much easier on tekken than sf.

King is a very good character to start with imo and a good character in DR. I wouldn’t use mishimas until you know the basics of tekken. I’d watch vids of k30 and “owen”, two good american players.

Drop King and learn Bruce and Dragonov. :cool:

damn evilj thanks for the tips…after trying this im getting it about 50% of the time. im gonna keep practicing though

when is this hitting american arcades…

“Tekken 6 is not receiving an official arcade release in the United States.” To the best of my knowledge, this statement is still valid and true.

I believe there’s an arcade in Texas that has a setup, and there’s one in SoCal as well. I don’t know if those setups are the real deal or just running at 480p in a non-dedicated candy cabinet.

In Canada, there’s apparently one place in Toronto that has it, and CHQ in Vancouver that has it running in two pairs of Sega Versus City cabs.

I don’t know if Europe has any or not. Other than that, you probably won’t find a machine outside of the orient. We’ll probably just have to wait for the PS3 release. :wasted:

We do have it. We have two Tekken 6 cabinets at Lovegety Station in Toronto. Gotta practice those Asuka combos.

England has two known machines. One in London’s main arcade (Trocerdaro) and one is Manchester’s (Old Trafford Centre).

And there’s reportedly a second machine at Troc but they dont know where to put it lol.

The arcade machine in SOCAL is the only dedicated Tekken 6 arcade machine in North America.

Jesus, Philly is getting T6? I it gonna be dedicated? Cause those dedicated machines are slick.

Zafina reminds me of my ex girlfriend… But my ex had a much prettier face.
