Okay perhaps I was a little too harsh in that comment.
But, myself and my social circle would disagree. Tekken 1, 2 and 3 were ace games. Tekken 4 wasn't quite as good and Tekken Tag was marmite, either love or hate it. Tekken 5 was ace, Dark Resurrection was a good expansion but then Tekken 6 just saw the whole thing ruined for me. The story was really bad, so were the individual character stories and endings. I mean Lars, another Mishima and Kazuya's brother, jesus christ that was ridiculous.
The game was essentially a juggle fest being get them into the air and juggle to death. The new characters in Tekken 6 were poor to say the least and the whole DragonBall Z style ruined the image of Tekken for me. Blood Vengence was a stereotypical chick flick and while it was nice to see all the action, I don't like how it's getting further and further into a DragonBall fashion.
Tag Tournament 2 was nice but the disappointment of Tekken 6 left a bitter taste in my mouth. Maybe it wasn't the series turning crap but it's like when you get a bad batch of something you love like super noodles. Any you eat in the future inevitably remind you of the bad one.
The story? Really? Who cares about the story in a fighting game, its about the gameplay. The only people
I know that complain about the story in a fighting game are people that suck at the game, and they're looking to devalue the content of the game because they lack the skill, understanding, patience, and mental fortitude to play a game like Tekken. Besides, the story in the tekken series has always been ridiculous. Angels and Devils. Fighting animals. Kids being thrown in volcanoes. Alien ninjas. Half man half robot guy. Jackie Fucken Chan! Yeah, its ridiculous. We already knew that..
The juggle system? Tekken's juggle system isn't as simple as SF4 or 3s. You have to manually input every single movement and hit, on most occasions. But Capcom games....low short super? Really? That is 1 button input to two qcf+button motion. Some super combos are like fucken 20 something hits! And your complaining about juggles? Marvel has like 150 combos with 3 supers. The execution is fucking mind numbingly simple! Sfxt... need I say more?
Why are you even talking about the movie? WTF does that have to do with the game?
Dragon BallZ? This isn't a fashion show. Why are you judging their clothes and hair? Every Fighting game has some ridiculous character designs.
Don't get me wrong. I love UMV3, SFxT and 3s. I enjoy these games immensely, even though I completely suck at Marvel.
But yeah, you're wrong.
