Ugh. More Tekken. Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur and King of Fighters are all better. At least Tekken is better than Virtua Fighter.

Speak for yourself. I love Tekken. Gotta give you credit for being one of the few to trash Virtua Fighter though. Steamy pile of shit.


This new Tekken will be awesome. Its bringing back the juggles from Tekken Tag Tournament, and all the good things of TT, While keeping the 3d environments and all the cool shit from T4, plus obstacles and traps and cool new set of characters. Me wants.

I despise Tekken.

:(

[C.J.]

I'm with Jackie, I can't stand Tekken.

I put it on the same level as Tao Feng. Yes, I'm serious.

^You're being ridicolous. But w/e, you're entitled to your opinion.

[JackieChanIsGOD]

It really is a split with that game...
People either love it and hate VF, or love VF and hate Tekken...

Me, i hate both... lol... i'm an MK/DOA guy...

[Greg]

I love tekken, can't wait

[The Dude]

I rather play Virtual Fighter any day then Tekken. The only fighting game worse then Tekken is DOA

[majik ninja]

All fighting gmaes except SSBM (if that even counts) suck.
