Man, these games really kick major ass. I know what people are talking about when they say you either hate these kind of games or love them. It's really awesome when you get in that zone and play out combos that register because of your actual gaming skill, and know that you are actually beating the other player with experience, and not luck.


It seems that games like Street Fighter really don't have that kind of flow like Tekken does(which is why Namco and Capcom make their separate Street Fighter X Tekken titles for the gameplay preferences). To me, I just feel frustration when I play Street Fighter. But to one of my friends, he loves Street Fighter, and the first time he plays Tekken, he just complains about how much it sucks. Which is what me and my friends tell him about Street Fighter all the time.


So, its just a matter of preference I'd say. I hope everyone enjoys this game as much as Street Fighter.


..But still, seeing my friend enjoy Street Fighter 3D while I waited for Tekken 3D for almost a year tried my patience to say the least :Q ::)

I see what you are saying. Street Fighter has always been about one thing: SPEED. Ever since Street Fighter II started to update itself with more speed settings, the idea is to be the faster character and perform the fastest moves and corner your character as quickly as possible. Oh sure there are tons of attacks and combinations to perform, but overall it is mainly about speed and how you can adjust yourself to be fast while still technical.

Tekken, on the other hand, values technical skill over speed. Yes, there are slow and fast characters. But it values how players perform attacks and how they are at performing combos than being about speed. Tekken is very technical, it takes into consideration different martial arts and how they would perform against each other. Street Fighter has "stances", but they are more fantastical than usual. Tekken understands that each fighting technique has rules, flaws and advantages, so when a player selects a character it is about mastering that character, and thus they tend to be much lower.

As an example, watch someone play Street Fighter then someone play Tekken. The Street Fighter player is likely going RATATATATATATATATATATATATA and pressing buttons like a mad man (not button bashing, but performing attacks as quickly as possible), whereas the Tekken player is moving around slowly and only attacking when there is an opening and maintaining momentum in a combo.

In an odd way, Dead or Alive is a mix between the two. It is very technical like Tekken but plays significantly fast just like Street Fighter.

I'm waiting for the SUPER stamp of approval.

Never played Dead or Alive, but from what I've seen, I think I could get into it :)

How can this be Tekken 3D when last I read it wasn't in 3D like the 3DS provides.

As far as I know, when you're in two-player, 3D is disabled so they can keep up 60 FPS.

In single-player, the whole game is in 3D. So, keep your pithy comments in your pocket. :P

Talking about that did I say you could come out? :P
