@GigaBowser: Raph and Wingnut are def the best chars. Raphs Fireball traps are just too good. Chromedomes fun but he's terrible until you can set up his unblockable.

i was thinking of subbing chrome and shredder. also for comboing is it 1 frame link cause i have a hard time doing comboes (yea i'm not that good xp)?

also while i'm on this subject. some vids of "skilled" tmnt tf players if that's okay.

Nah, Comboes aren't big in this game. Shredder does basic jabs into dash punches and CD doesn't really combo at all.

I love these matches. This is literally one of the only games I've ever played where you can learn how to do high level stuff in 2 weeks.

@zman: If you like grapplers then youll like Victor. He's one of the worst but vs is really balanced (until you get to anakaris, who is crap). His j.fierce is one of the most ridiculous moves out there.

Speaking of grapplers, why does there seem to be a pretty big following for wanting Haggar in MvC3? Grapplers blow chunks in Vs. games, so I can't seem to understand why so many people would want what would be a bad character in the game.

 

[ETWIST51294]

They prolly want haggar cuz hes looooong over due. I would want him in SSF4 tho.

alex was alright in tvc and gief wasn't that bad in the first mvc. haggar would be cool in mvc3 though if they can make him work in the engine.

Not sure who I'll be on those, but

[Big-Cat]

I might as well ask this here as I haven't seen a Tekken thread in a long time: Would you say Tekken 3 is better than 6?

It might be nolstalgia filter for me, but I preferred 3 much more over the little time I spent playing 6. I also heard juggles become more important after 3?

 

[Lythium]

Tekken 6 is not very friendly to newer players imo.

Stances, launches, juggles, stages are all very important to playing. I've been playing it for a while now, and I still don't get it.

Also, the loading times in Tekken 6 are atrocious.

 

[Big-Cat]

I can understand stances if you're talking about Xiaoyu, but who else does it apply besides her and Zafina?

 

[Lythium]

Stances apply to everyone, just more so for some characters than others.

 

[Black Waltz]

I can understand stances if you're talking about Xiaoyu, but who else does it apply besides her and Zafina?

A lot of the cast has their own stances, IIRC: Hwoarang's LFF, RFF, LFM, RFM, just to name a few.

I play Jin in Tekken 6. Still trying to get EWGF to be 100%. And it doesn't help that his damage output is mediocre.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Also, the loading times in Tekken 6 are atrocious.

Only on PS3.

Tekken 6 sucks, play Tekken Tag Tournament.

 

[Lythium]

I don't really enjoy Tekken enough to play it regularly.

There are some guys in my area trying to start a scene, that's pretty much the only reason I'm playing it, to be honest.

Same here.

 

[Lythium]

And the funny thing is that I signed up to go to a Tekken/SSFIV tourney.

Because people from both scenes kept bugging me to go.

I don't really play either game very much.

When I play Tekken, I try to burst, and then I get all .

tekken 6 is one of two games that are played here in nm, the other being ssf4.

i tried to learn tekken but i'm too poor for an actual system, it's a fun game though. i'll just wait for ttt2 to come out

 

[Wretched]

I used to play tekken when I was younger.
I played Yoshimitsu, and I really didn't think I was any good.
My friend invited me to a local tournament. I used doorknocker and avoid the puddle over and over and over and I won.
It was crazy.
i don't think it works anymore though >.>

 

[ETWIST51294]

I could never get into 3d fighters. Tekken was def my fav out of all of em. I main king and i always got destroyed by my uncles steve and my dads law. Ahh, those were the days.

also, i forgot my AH main. >_>

[Lythium]

I'll play 3D fighters, but not seriously.

It goes against my religion.

lol, same again.

I would seriously play Soul Calibur II and Justice High though.

 

[Lythium]

I like SC a lot, but I can't get a feel for the game itself. I find it feels clunky somehow. I just don't get the flow of it. And I know it is the nature of 3D fighters, and especially SC, but I like making my own combos, and you can't really do that.

Justice High is pretty sweet, and if I had a Dreamcast, I would totally play it. For laughs, if nothing else.

 

[Minato]

I don't play 3D fighters competitively, but my favorite 3D fighter is Tekken.
I haven't played Tekken 6, but I want to. The game is cheap now, so I might pick it up eventually to kill time for Tag 2.

 

[kr3wman]

I like 3D fighters.

They're fun!

 

[Kuraudo]

lol, same again.

Link all day!!

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Link was a beast in that game. God... I wish SC4 had Link instead of... Vader/Yoda

 

[Minato]

Wasn't Link one of the worst? Not like it matters though, he was fun, and my favorite on the Gamecube version.

 

[Kuraudo]

That's what I heard too, that Link was one of the worst. It's hard for me to see though... Maybe someone just needs to pull a Gamerbee and wreck with a character that's "***".

Then again though, a lot of characters can look like they suck when stacked up to freaking Kilik. Broken piece of ****.

 

[Lythium]

Most characters are only bad at mid to high level play.

 

[Wretched]

Cervantes was the most brokenest
right?

 

[Zero_Gamer]

If by most brokenest you mean most worstest, then yes.

Ivy was the best character, followed by Kilik and Talim.

 

[kr3wman]

from what I remember it was like, Xianghua, Cervantes, Yoshimitsu, Ivy.

Kilik was actually pretty bad once you knew wtf to do.

 

[Gates]

Wasn't Link banned in tournament play anyway because he was a console character?

 

[ZMan]

he was (along with spawn, heihachi, and necrid) were banned in tournies, but that doesn't mean you can't use him in casuals! iirc link was mid. he had some nasty *** throws but didn't have good buttons. he was fun as hell to play though but i <3 nightmare too much to not play him.

Was Cervantes good or bad? I remember everyone complaining about him.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I remember Cervantes being bad in SC II, but good in SC III.

 

[ZMan]

i think xianghua was the best in sc2 (and in every other **** sc game besides 4), then ivy and yoshi for top. maxi was the worst character iirc

I know but my point was that if he's not tournament legal, his place in tier lists shouldn't matter since tier lists are used for competitive purposes.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Anybody here play Virtua Fighter?
