because TEKKEN SHINY.
Also, CS is shit.

everytime i see a PSP owner, there's a high chance that the person is playin Tekken or NBA :|

- Tekken is easier to play since you don't need complicated left hand movements and its mostly button tapping. 2D games need a lot of both left and right hand coordination.

- Tekken has more realistic/serious character designs and moves which appeal to the everyguy. Seriously, most Tekken players I know are not interested in the Japanese/Anime subculture. CS characters reminds them of the silly cosplay community with their weird costumes, large weapons, flashy moves and special effects.

>- Tekken is easier to play since you don't need complicated left hand movements and its mostly button tapping. 2D games need a lot of both left and right hand coordination.
Real fightan gaems require ambidexterity, not button mashing.

>>1582
I didn't say Tekken eliminates left hand command movements totally. Its just that Tekken has simpler left hand commands.

there is a faster impulse to mash in tekken, and in a sense still rewards certain noobs depending on the character and who they are up against (most likely noobs as well).
There are very few characters in Tekken (what with their pallete-swapped glory) that have some depth to their play style. An experienced Jin player is counter-reaction based. Alyssa certainly has depth in her gameplay as well. Lili is pretty much flippity mcflips of death.

Tekken = manly fighting game

BlazBlue = weeaboo fighting game

Though I play both 2D and 3D fighting games, above is just the general consensus of most gamers these days. Also as >>1584 and >>1581 pointed out, you can do more stuff by just mashing in Tekken as opposed to 2D games (requires you to do qcf, fdf, etc etc) that's why Tekken is more entry level friendly. Its easy to learn, hard to master.

Personally, I like 2D fighting games better than 3D though.

>>1585
Too bad most who play Tekken either suck at 2D fightan or don't play at all.

Yes, I suck at Tekken, if by competitiveness.

>>1585

I wanted to clarify, there aren't MANY characters in Tekken that have the kind of depth Jin has and how to play different, pallete swapped/moveset swap opponents.

Also there is more technical knowledge in 2D besides the moves you mention. Its actually HARDER to learn (hence why I don't touch rachel) and you have to match up correctly but in its own way is even more rewarding than sticking with 5-10 bread and butter moves from a list of 30-40 nobody ever uses that namco assigns each character.

I'be never played Tekken, testing lang...

I don't know what's the hype about it...

I prefer DoA, nagsawa ako nun noong high school...

DoA is a game of rock, paper, scissors

from my previous experience with it, when executing a string of combos, it gets interrupted with a counter grab

anyways, i play tekken and blazblue. both have their own rewarding and awesome moments. although i prefer blazblue over tekken anytime... if i could just master a character... DAMMIT RACHEL I SAID DO THE TWIRLIE THINGIE!!!

this thread is full of stupid tekkenfags who deserves a worthy bashing from REAL gamers

goes to show how shit your typical pango gamer's taste is when it comes competitive games

Gill and Urien confirmed to be Pinoys.

Well, based on this guy's judgment.

Also, ganun talaga eh. Tekken rakes in money more than MvC2/GG/KOF 2002 did. And yeah, shiny and stuff.

Although, the emergence of SF4 machines in most Timezone Branches seemed to give me some hope in the local fighting game scene.

>>1644

>Tekken rakes in money more than MvC2/GG/KOF 2002 did.

question is, why?

>And yeah, shiny and stuff.

and no, this is not really the valid reason

>>1648
>question is, why?
Tekken is for normalfags, therefore inferior to REAL FIGHTAN like SF.

>>1651

>real FIGHTAN like SF

could you also suck my cock? :)

>>1652

sure why not

also, prepare your anus

>the emergence of SF4 machines in most Timezone Branches seemed to give me some hope in the local fighting game scene.

This is what matters. Tekken tournies are full of casual fags for the most part.

>>1652
>>1662

don't forget the muffins!

>>1648

But it's GRAPHIXX- oh wait, you can't accept that explanation. Honestly, hindi ko din alam eh. Siguro kasi nung Playstation 1 days pa lang, mas madaming nakapansin sa Tekken 3 more than them Street Fighters and KOFs.

I play GG and MB. Is BB any good? I heard that it's unbalanced and stuff like that.

>>1695
I don't play BB, but I heard from a friend that their resident grappler's special grabs can be teched out which is a big no no.

>>1695

continuum shift (AKA BlazBlue 1.5) has some tweaks for characters of the previous version so it is a bit more balanced now.

>>1585
concur

Tekken characters look like convincing fighters

BB, GG, AH characters look like cosplayers showing off

>>1704

Well, Tekken was very convincing until LARS AND FUCKING ALISA though.

But even before, BEARS, EVIL KARATE MEN IN BUSINESS SUITS, and stuff.

So yeah, most fighting games have out-of-this-world characters. Except for UFC games.

>>1707
You forgot wooden dummies.

>>1707
Yeah Lars and Alisa were stupid and ruined Tekken for me. Heck, the introduction of made-up martial arts from Lili (dancing), Zafina (???), and Bob (fat but lightning-fast) really turned me off.

Although still, even with the bears and karate CEO's it still didn't look weeabooish.

in the 90's most fighters I knew liked KOF better than SFA. they said KOF had realistic characters, while SF had costumed weirdos.

similarly, most of the old school SSF players I knew hated SFA and SF3's "cartoony" graphics.

so I could see why Tekken appeals to more people than BBCS

>>1710

First time I saw Bob I laughed my ass off. Started using him immediately after.

>>1710

Bob's fighting style kinda resembles some Kenpo, Karate, and well, Jet Li-ish martial arts. As to how he's that Agile, I honestly have no idea.

And Lili's style is "Street Fighting". Pffft, Miggy's brawling is more like that.

>>1714

I'll have to disagree with you there, I had friends who liked GG and SFA since KOF was quite obscure where I was at that time.

>>1716

Bob is tailored to Samo Hung, Jackie Chan's sidekick in one of his flicks and also a martial artist; like Jackie Chan to Fei Wu Long and Martial Law to Bruce Lee... but i know you losers know that already

anyway, BBCS will not prosper here in the PH arcade scene and you guys might as well try the PSN or the XBL if you wanna meet some pango players

... and im beginning to hate tekken players nowadays, subtle trashtalking and invading cabinets saying "kalaro ko yan e, tayo ka naman"

>>1710

made up martial arts? ever heard of the Mishima Karate Style? lololololol

>realism
>tekken

choose 1

>>1718
Well at least most of the Mishima arts moves are still plausible. Former karatefag here, and a common misconception about karate is that your punches and kicks should be STRICTLY like the ones taught to you. But in reality, karate encourages you to improvise for the sake of practicality. Now Lili's Dancing martial arts? That's bullshit.

>>1716
I guess it depends on where you go.

>>1717
>subtle trashtalking and invading cabinets saying "kalaro ko yan e, tayo ka naman

Not to mention the new arcade culture where players don't leave immediately when they lose. Seriously, what the hell's with new arcade players?

>>1719
>Seriously, what the hell's with new arcade players?
casualfags being casual and being unsportsmanlike?

>>1718

Oh yeah, that too. Why the heck did I forget about that fighting style.

But seriously, nobody implied that Tekken is more realistic than X, although, I did say that it kinda got some ideas from real fighting styles (see: Jin, some of Bruce's moves, etc).

>>1721
>>1719
>>1718
>>1717

Wow, now that's unsportsmanlike. I mean seriously, even the newly migrated SF4 players from ATC that I recently met up are quite nice, same with the Tekken players nearby that started hanging out at our nearby arcade because the machine is well-maintained as well as the token costs are dirt cheaper than Timezone's.

You guys must be in some heavily populated arcade, such as Mega or something.

But it's true however, some of the newbs don't make way even if you already stood in line.

Most Tekken people I've met are not anime fans or have any interest in Jap pop culture. And that's basically the majority. So it seems Tekken just caters more to the everyman hence more players.

>Most Tekken people I've met are not anime fans or have any interest in Jap pop culture. And that's basically the majority. So it seems Tekken just caters more to the everyman hence more players.

I've been playing arcades ever since the marcos era and it's actually the fault of ALL the faggot arcade owners pulling out all the classic street fighter 2 machines and generally never fixing their fucking equipment (joysticks, buttons). Titles like marvel2, king of fighters series and capcom vs snk2 was doing fine having crowds ever since the 90s simply because they were just left alone. Then all of a sudden the majority of the arcades pull them all out for what reason?

Before I die I'll kill all those faggots by doing a corporate buyout on every single one of those fail arcades and put them on debt so deep they'll all change careers to being gay prostitutes in quezon city circle

>>1739
That's because the challenge community died slowly. I should know, I was active at the time. The last fighting game I could say that had a fairly decent community was KOF 2003, but it was short lived.

The final nail on the coffin was when Neo Geo Battle Coliseum came out. Me and my friends thought it would have a good challenge community like SVC Chaos, but sadly when it came out no one gave a fuck.

It really is just the times. In our days fighting games were THE game. Now its DOTA and some MMO's.

>>1741
This is also related to the arcade owner's faggotry. They let the arcade scene dehydrate for more than 5 years then all of a sudden they released games like kof03, battle coll, hokuto no ken. They should have learned to feed the horse when it's hungry - not when it's already dead.

What did they feed the arcade scene when it was hungry btw? snk vs capcom was one of them. ffs...

Pero in fairness the games I said eventually became broken as fuck so it's partly the game companies faults.

>>1745
You know you sound familiar. San ka naglalaro bro and ano nilalaro mo?

>>1746
sm south yung pinakamatinong arcade na malapit d2. Ngayon puro nalang tekken 6 ako (la tayo magagawa). Dami ko nilalaro dati pero isaisa sila na pull out amp.

third strike, cvs2, lahat ng guilty gear, lahat ng kof, mga naalala ko

>>1749
>sm south

Ah malamang nakalaro na rin kita dati, especially sa GGX. Dumayo ako diyan dati nung ininvite kami ng mga GGX players dun.

Also SF3, CVS2, KOF player din ako. Kung interested ka, may nagbukas ulit ng arcade sa Northmall sa may Monumento and may KOF 2k2 UM scene dun. Saturday punta ako along with others.

>SM South Players
>GGX

ALL THOSE DAYS OF LOSING AS MILLIA. FUCK.

But anyway, yeah. Tekken pati SF4 na lang ata matino. Lahat ng KOF na-pull out na. Yung GGX warak.

Pati yung precious Soul Calibur 2 Machine, initsa sa Bacoor. Yung sa Tom's world parang tanga lang.

But at least we have something decent to play.

>>1753
>>Also SF3, CVS2, KOF player din ako. Kung interested ka, may nagbukas ulit ng arcade sa Northmall sa may Monumento and may KOF 2k2 UM scene dun. Saturday punta ako along with others.
beri nice. Namiss ko talaga yung kof2002 times noong dumadayo pa ako kung saan saan para lang makalaban yung mga national heroes ko sina jonas davedo, changinamo, mayleebag etc. Kumusta na kaya yung mga bakla na yan? Sana buhay pa sila pag natayo ko na arcade franchise ko. O yung mga anak nalang nila siguro mga sasali sa tourneys ko.

>>1757
>>SF4
>>Tom's world
Kung kilala ko pa ang mga may ari ng tom's world d2 hindi nila aayusin yung controls pag eventually nasira sila.

Ito yung mga faggot ang dahilan bakit nasira ang childhood ko at lahat ng mga pusa nadadaan ko sa kalye tinatadyak ko.

>>1759
Kapatid ni Jonas yung may ari nung bagong arcade sa Northmall, contact siya ng kaibigan ko. Kalawangan na rin si Jonas, nangangapa na.

>>1757
Tama, tanga ang Tom's. Ung GGXX sa SM Center LPC kuulang ng Dalawang buttons(D at HS) tapos sira pa ang controls ng SCIII don.
