looks like Namco is smartening up! All they need to do now is announce Ace Combat for PS3 and one for Wii as well. I want to play an AC game with waggle controls

I think FPS's just allow for better predicting. There's not all that much back and forth interaction, at least not anything beyond sending projectiles at each other. A lot of the strategy involves being in the right location and having the right weapons. If you get the jump on someone, they're pretty much dead. Yeah, there's the twitchiness of aiming involved, but good players already predict and lead anyway. Very good players will take lag into account with this leading and can adjust accordingly.
Fighting games like Tekken require a lot more back and forth interaction with millisecond timing. Things like breaking throws requires that you react and respond in a very short amount of time. Your opponent has to initiate a throw, you have to see it and react to it, and the response has to be sent back to your opponent. The amount of time you have to do this can be shorter than your lag, and you really can't predict the outcome. Same with juggle combos and just frames.
I still think it's great that the game is going online though. It won't be the same game as 2 player offline, but it's better than nothing.

The thing is, you happily bought the original Tekken DR as an offline game. You knew the features and that's what you paid for. If they claimed online play as a feature back then, that's something else. This is something new on top of what was already there. It's still Tekken 5 with online play for around $30, which I think is cheaper than the PSP game.

You can always tell from threads like these that no one ever plays SF: AC online.
If Street Fighter 3 works online, why not Tekken and Virtua Fighter?

SF: AC is an unplayable mess, and it was impossible for me to do anything in that game and it wouldn't let me do my daigo vs. chun li supr parriez just like offline therefore it sucked
that's sarcasm also

IMO, If they were going to have these things then they should have been in there day one so I don't think charging extra for them is necessarily something I should smile about.
Should we start expecting games to arrive in parts and pay for features piecemeal from here on out? Not just maps and characters, but actual game features? I don't think that's a good thing.
Look, I realize some of you are really excited about the online play and the cost is inconsequential to you. I'm just sharing my feelings on the matter. Just give me the rest of the endings and I'll be happy, Namco.

There is /no way/ this cannot be a stealth public beta for online play in Soul Calibur 4 and Tekken 6.
I approve.
I think though at this point the pressure is going to be on VF - if Tekken and SC go online, VF is going to be the last major holdout. No offense to hardcore VF players, but a lotta them may increasingly begin to look like crazy coot hermits in the hills (more than they do already? I kid, I kid, with love) for griping that online play isn't "real".
I approve.

Actually you make a good point.　This really does give hope that Namco's fighters will be online.

You will all bow down to me ^^

I have to say the negativity in this thread is comedic gold all and all.
They could have very easily released a "Director's Cut" with the online and the other added things and charged the full price or more again and alot of people would have grabbed it but instead it is a cheap update.
Anyway, this is awesome news and I can not wait for it to hit the US, and hopefully it won't take as long as the game itself took to hit the us psn.

That would require Tekken to be balanced in the first place. ZING!
Post disclaimer: I've been burnt out on Tekken since TTT because I have nobody to play with. I recently discovered VF (VF4) though and I've found that is a lot of fun, even when I'm playing by myself. If VF5 had online, I'd buy that shit right now!

According to the game's devs it was, now according to them it is not impossible.
I am sure those that are happy are deeply sorry that their excitement vexes you to the point where you need to point out such things instead of just being happy that we are getting Tekken online.

did i sound Vexxed? you got the wrong impression my friend. I am really happy that if the online for this turns out to be half way decent i get to laugh at all those VF5 sega Jizz jockeys who said it could not be done.
