The game is yomi-based. Problem is the game isn't balanced enough for that to shine. Yomi-based games don't need super-amounts of tech to be fun, but they do need enough good characters, and Persona lacks that.

If someone makes a 2f overhead joke soon I will not be happy.
I'm playing TTT2... These points are null and void...
And yes I don't like playing Marvel, just like most people who plays Tekken...
The eyepatch- blame anime for that. It's one of those stupid anime trends that started with crappy Evangelion.
As for a monthly fee game, I wouldn't pay a monthly fee for a fighter- I won't pay a monthly fee for any game or service- it's a ripoff when there are games you can play for years that don't have this. If PSN goes to XBL pricing- I quit fighting games and will just play something else competitive.
I am willing to pay for customizations- that's what companies should be putting out as DLC. Namco had the right idea with SC5 in that regard (just wrong on character design and gameplay)

Hey speaking of Tekken. I just picked this up on Black Friday (currently reading AAK's guide) and I'm getting ready to jump in. My quick question is if there are any specific characters that are really over represented when playing online? I'm not asking anyone to pick my character for me, but I really do enjoy playing less common characters in whatever games that I play. I really like character variety online, so I like to try to do my part to add to it. Tier order doesn't matter to me, I just want to pick from the pool or 20 or so characters that you don't see that much online, or at least avoid picking any of the top 5 or 10 most popular.

Characters -- Marvel side really. IDGAF about the Capcom side. But the Marvel side is dabess. Even the worst of them (Wolverine).
Creativity -- characters actually are strong in this game. No matter how "bad" a character is, if they can run their setup, they can win. Everybody's got juice. And all 50 are pretty distinct with their strong stuff to boot.
Presentation/It's Purdy -- it's really pretty to look at. Dat fanservice too with VA's, lines, stages, costumes, etc. Marvel nerd's paradise.
It's also as balanced as a versus game is ever going to be. TvC UAS is only thing that comes close and Zero/PTX in that game were far more enraging.
In conclusion -- the characters. Their presentation/hilarious VA makes it the best for me. It's an easy game to laugh at and say "lol, that's dumb" *keeps having fun*.
Also, I understand that it's not for everyone. And I can see why other people like other games too. Everything has something to offer.
BUT CAN YOU SEE WHY KIDS LOVE CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH
I enjoy playing SFIV more than Marvel. I don't like to push buttons as a Sim player.

I don't feel qualified to speak on the subject. I don't even think I should have brought it up. All I know is that is is more than "Kawaiiii uguuuu desu" or lolis.
Good for you, but that doesn't make Hsien-Ko any better(not that she is the only reason I don't play).
What I said was more of a general statement. I don't know shit about Tekken.
Wat
I've seen a buttload of anime since NGE and I never noticed that trend. Regular old lolis seemed to be the dominating force.

Seth talk about the parry, good read.
Jun/Unknown and Asuka teams are a bunch...
Wrestlers too...
The rest varies...
But you shouldn't worry about it too much. I use the Kings to show scrubs how it's done
jkWhat you need to worry more is learning the fundamentals, like how to move and stand up. Most people struggle because they move with a 2D fight mindset...

It's a word that everyone is trying to lay claim to, but that I can't understand anyone wanting to claim.
She's definitely not good, but LLND makes her look respectable. If Dormammu had a tracking Purification assist, I'd make her my point character (and not just to tag her out).
Well, I think you are generally wrong, then!

God damn it amazon put the PS3 SF25 thing on sale too.
Yeah, the limited movesets and emphasis on offense make watching the game really repetitive. Lots of fun to play casually though, since its so easy to pick up.

Marvel 3 isn't even the best fighting game this gen. That honor belongs to BattleFantasia. And I wouldn't dare go GOAT for FG's. Even for me that's a scary prospect.

Oooh is there Tekken talk here?
Forest, Marshall, King, AKing, Lili/Sebastian, Lars, Leo, Christie/Eddy/Tiger and to a slight extent Mishima's. That's the cast I've seen the most online. Also, need to close this post with swag:

Awesome stuff in there, eg. if you want to react to a fireball quicker, you can just look at the meter, as the meter bar will grow (or shrink for EX moves) before the move actually starts up.

I can't tell if you're being serious...those disjointed hitboxes are always so awful looking. Characters getting punched or kicked as much as a foot away from the actual character model with what looks like a Star Wars Episode I quality karate move while the body flails about in the air like its on a trampoline. Terrible.Oooh is there Tekken talk here?
Marvel looks like shit too, what's your point? If flashing lights are all it takes to make you happy, get a strobe light and mash on your stick. Same experience.

Yeah, I've never understood this as an aesthetic choice. It has to be aesthetic, right, because not all 3D games work like that. I know Mortal Kombat does, and it looks equally stupid there, but I don't think Soul Calibur or Virtua Fighter have that same kind of nonsense.

wat.
It's no different than a game where you shoot a bullet at a guy laying on the ground and it makes their body pop up for a combo somehow.
They are just bound moves to extend combos.

I like eye patches that hide a eye laser.
Or if Angelina Jolie wore one.

I don't get it either. ST has lots of levels of depth. I personally think P4a feels a bit limited in some cases. I don't think it's that shallow, but can some characters can feel that way especially with Shadow Labrys. Honestly, I never played a fighting game like P4a where I can just pick up any character, and start playing them. It's really weird. I Pick up carl or Devo, and I go man what the fuck this is not a character I want to play nor want to take the time to learn. Is P4a just easy to pick up, or other games just harder by nature thus leading to more complex games?
I'm glad to have brightened up your respective days.

This is that illiteracy I keep talking about.
Soul Calibur has it, but it's not nearly as bad. Plus I tend to play Nightmare and Astaroth in Soul Calibur, so the hitboxes tend to fit with the gigantic weapons.
Marvel is a borderline (ha, borderline!) anime game, so it fits when something like punch causes a wallbounce. It's far more weird and difficult to embrace a game that has that sort of thing but goes for a realistic approach to its character concepts. Plus, that has nothing to do with disjointed hitbox animations.
Am I hearing you corectly where you are complaining about hitboxes in Tekken? I beter hope you have the same complaints about foot dives, helm breakers, and crossups in 2D games.
And am I also right that a Marvel player is complaining about a bound combo extender? I better hope he has the same complaints about TAC's, DHC's, OTG's, etc.

Doesn't Tekken use collision detection?
I don't think disjointed hitboxes are even a thing in Tekken.
Assuming I know what collision detection means.
