Tekken 5!

[L337 kybldmstr]

Tekken 5 = teh uber pwnage of doom!

I reckon Tekken 5 is one of THE best games around (apart from KH), and I've already unlocked all of the fighters and figured out a winning strategy with

Spoiler Show

my favourite character, Devil Jin

- three moves with him and I can get a Perfect, even against the final boss,

Spoiler Show

Jinpachi Mishima, who is Heihachi's father

.

What do you reckon?

 

[The Conquerer]

Yeah Tekken 5 was good. My friends has it, and we both play from time to time. I also like Devil Jin, but one of the best people in the game is Kazuya. If you know how to use him, he can beat anybody with ease.

The only part of the game that pisses me off is that the fact that you can not play as

Spoiler Show

Jinpachi

Normally in Tekken games, who ever you can fight in the game is a potential character. But not in Tekken 5, unless you use a gameshark.

 

[Xlicz]

i like the one for psp too and my favorite character is lee chaolan

 

[~Leo~]

The one for the PSP is practically the same.......

Tekken 5 is pretty awsome, I love the Devil Within game (It's called that, right?)

 

[RTP49]

lol Jinpachi

So what you can't play as him? If you could, Tekken would end up like Soul Calibur.

I'm more of an Asuka/Steve person... I play 2D fighters more though.

 

[Kingdom2917]

Yeah Tekken 5 is a pretty good game, better then the other Tekken games.

 

[quiteMAD]

I love Tekken 5. I love the entire Tekken series. I even love the Tekken movie. My favorite fighter is Law. I rule with him. Though right now, I'm a 4 Dan, I'm working my way up fast. Though I can't get a perfect on Jinpachi with Law, i can get pretty close.

 

[XFinalXOmegaX]

my cousin has it. he beat it twice. he let me borrow it. it's very interesting. tekken 6!!!!! w00t for the s3.

 

[Oblivion wielder]

It was nice,it had great fmv's too!(Asukas's,Hworang's,Devil Jin's Panda's {lol} were good)

lol fmvs

Chances are the people who made those fmv's suck at the actual game, so they had to go make fmv's instead. Unless they're combo videos. Those work.

 

[Black_Star]

The reason you can't play as Jinpachi is that he is completely broken. He has infinites. And it's impossible to kill someone with three hits, unless they're an idiot. But Tekken 5 is a really great game and I can't wait for Tekken 6/ Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

 

[scubasteve]

Tekken 5 is pretty good.

Although I'm more of an MK, Street Fighter, SSBM kind of guy.

 

[L337 kybldmstr]

Asuka's a good fighter, and her ending is hillarious.

Spoiler Show

Basically, she kills Jinpachi, then she goes over to Devil Jin's body (he was defeated by Jinpachi when Asuka arrived)
and tries to help him. All the while, Jin reverts
back to his normal state, and then slumps,
barely conscious, against Asuka's chest.
There's a pause, then Asuka yells at Jin,
smashes him a few hundred metres into a huge rock,
calls him a pervert and storms off. Then Jin
says "What was that all about?" and
is KO'd again, this time by a pebble falling onto his head.
Not funny when I say it, but must be
seen to be believed.

I hate the Tekken series. I find that there's nothing that distinguishes each game from the previous one in the series apart from the addition of a few more characters, or some fun mini-game. The storylines are less than interesting. Yet fans buy these games constantly, without any consideration on whether it's money well spent, so there is never much improvement, or indeed development in the games.

So tell me, what makes Tekken 5 distinguishable from the other Tekken games? I could care less about better graphics and that crap, that is only to be expected.

 

[Shadow Soldier]

The storylines are less than interesting.

Name one fighting game that has any good stories -.-

You almost have a point there. I can appreciate that in any fighting game, storyline is not the main focus or attraction, nor should it be. However, some games have better storylines than others and I would suggest that Tekken is one of the least original games, in the sense that the scenario is the same in each game - The Iron Fist Tournament. Perhaps that is why I believe Tekken 2 to be the best of the series. Moreover, a weak storyline drastically takes away from the merit of the game as a whole.

 

[L337 kybldmstr]

What was Tekken 2's storyline, anyway? I know it had something to do with the Devil or something (I have played the arcade version in T5).

 

[dual_wielder]

Tekken has a deeper storyline, the reason why they do sequels is because it carries the story over from the last game. Basically the whole game is focused on the Mishima and Kazama family. How they intertwined with each other and about the Devil Gene that infects most of the Mishimas. How they control it and each character has a background story to them for winning the tournament. How they are related to some characters. For example Ling fancies Jin, but Jin doesn't like her or have anytime for her. Nina and her sister Anna are rivals and so forth and so on. You have to play each game to actually know what it going on.

Fair enough that you don't like the series, that is your preference of game. But you can't judge the game on screenshots and trailers or one game that you have played. You have to play each Tekken game to get the grasp of the storyline.

But they keep using the same things over and over.

Christie? Just Eddy with boobs and different windows. Same for Asuka. Just Jun with with boobs and different windows.

These days no game developer's actually try to work on newer fighting game sequels... It's been 8 years Capcom. Where's my Street Fighter 4?

I know, it's hideously dull. It's like a bad soap - Jin, Kazuya, Heihachi and Jinpachi have issues that I could care less about. Plus, it's so overdone and worn out. They just seem to go around in circles. It's not a deep storyline.

How they control it and each character has a background story to them for winning the tournament.

...staying the obvious.

For example Ling fancies Jin, but Jin doesn't like her or have anytime for her. Nina and her sister Anna are rivals and so forth and so on.

Liek, omg, nu wai, RIVALS and ppl that have CRUSHES! If that is the backbone of their storyline, that's seriously pathetic. If you read the character descriptions in any of the booklets, you'll see how the characters lack depth. Most of these descriptions would be ridiculed if someone posted a similar thing in a template for in the RPing forum.

You have to play each game to actually know what it going on.

Well if that's the case, that's a grievous fault by Namco, since that would mean that to play and fully comprehend Tekken 6, you would have had to play all 5 previous games.

Fair enough that you don't like the series, that is your preference of game. But you can't judge the game on screenshots and trailers or one game that you have played. You have to play each Tekken game to get the grasp of the storyline.

I've played 4 of the Tekken games. I think I've seen enough of Tekken. I know what I'm talking about.

And RTP is spot on about the Christie/Eddy thing.
