1P outfit = square (and triangle for those with only two outfits)
2P outfit = X and O
3P outfit = triangle

I was surprised to find that you can actually customize Lili's 3P outfit. Nothing big, but you can edit the colors and replace the veil with a tiara.

LOL at Azazel! I did beat him on my third try though. You just have to use attacks that keep him on the ground I find.

I don't have any issue at all with the loading screens here on the PS3 version. It's only slightly worse than Tekken5:DR. I am actually impressed after all the initial bad stuff people said about loading times. After installing to the HD this is a non issue for me. Like in the GiantBomb quick look that was definitely NOT installed to HD. Especially if you stick to the same character it seems to be very fast. Maybe if you are constantly switching characters every round it will seem slower.

I am playing without the blur. I decided it is the superior way to play after trying both.

About the online, I played about 40 rounds with a friend online and it was perfectly awesome for us. There was a match or 2 that seemed a little weird, but 98% of the time I didn't notice any lag.

How is the online battles working for everyone? I can find someone almost instantly, but the problem I'm running into is the lag. Really bad lag. I understand that an online fighting game and thats just going to happen but it's not consistent. Any advice on how to approach this or get used to this problem?

It was better yesterday for me and other people reported the same. When has any game shipped with perfect online play on day one? Smash Bros Brawl for example was literally unplayable for at least a week and only then by tweaking settings on one's router.


I'm not excusing Namco (the graphics are disappointing for sure) but borked online launches are rarely permanent.

No one is asking for perfect, no online game is perfect. People are asking for playable, without input lag all the time.

Why did people have to mess with router settings to make Brawl playable? Sucks for casuals. I didn't have to tweak my router to play blazblue or SF4, and those games are fine online.

shhh Graham I'm still compiling this Radiant map
I finally beat Scenario Campaign. Yuck. That shit never ends. Actually, I don't even think I finished the thing, some new area unlocked - Nightmare Train or something? - but I had had enough at that point so I just quit. I played for hours and had just barely enough gold to complete one custom outfit for my Lili, but at least she looks dope now. I turned her into a trampy gothic schoolgirl, so wrong, but oh so right.

I played a bit of online this morning and the netcode is all over the place, I think it's fixable though, so hopefully Namco listens. Gonna be online some more tonight, hope to (finally) play some GAFers PS3 side.

little question.

Does the game have a story mode for each character as in Tekken 5 PS2? (each character has a rival mid story...etc)

I haven't done it yet, but after the first two missions in Scenario Campaign, you unlock the Arena where you can get the prologue and ending for each character. I think you have to unlock the character you want to use in SC first though.

How about characters? I know you had to unlock them in previous Tekken and I hated that, same here?

You have to unlock them for Arena mode within SC (Where you can see their prologue and endings). For Arcade, VS and whatnot everyone is already unlocked.

All but one are unlocked from the start. Unfortunately a good chunk of stages can only be played through the luck of getting them in random select. The stage you're interested in is readily available though.

How about the one you have to unlock? What do you do?

Earning money is pretty easy, after finishing sc mode.
After completing sc mode, complete leo's stage on hard.
It should unlock mokujin's stage. Equip Gold + 400% item.
Playing through this stage should earn you 2,000,000 + gold each time.

There are no unlockable stages. There's two extra stages, the stage for NANCY-MI847J and one you fight in during Jin's Arena mode.

Two stages are random only.

Are you sure? I never had the Jin arena stage show up in random until I finished SC.

Nah there's like 4 or 5 you can only play through random select.

Edit: Edited for clarity

Somebody actually compared this game to Uncharted 2 in terms of graphics?
Click to expand...

Well he has a point, it's pretty disappointing to see this gen's fighting games look worse than action/adventure games considering that fighting games looked amazing in the past generations - but instead of that we see games like Uncharted 2, Resident Evil 5, Gears of War 2, e.t.c. actually have much better character models than Tekken 6 for example, running at 720p with biggest environments, more detailed textures and a lot of characters and particle effects on screen...running at sub-HD/no AA with decent character models, sub-bar texturing with only 2 characters and relatively small environments on hardware capable of the games above is ridiculous for a big franchise like Tekken.

The game is completely P2P, Namco can't do anything to improve the online experience besides making drastic changes to the netcode (which they won't do). If you have a better online experience another day, that's simply because you were lucky with getting connected to people who live closer to you with a stable connection.

At least 5? Ok if you're right about the arena that leaves..? That, Festival and Sheep and..?

Tomato, sheep, jungle and Jin SC. If the Nancy stage actually does show up in random that would be 5.

Also I edited my original post as "at least 5" was a wrong choice of words.

Jungle isn't random. I've been looking at random and there is no extra stage...? We're talking about the stage in arena that's outside the ruins right? It's not here.

You're making me doubt myself about the jungle. I remember it wasn't available on the select screen for choosing the background. I may have just assumed it was the same for VS.

For the Jin stage, yeah I'm talking about the ruins. I've 100% for sure fought on that stage outside of SC.

Got my pre-ordered copy today. Read the manual twice, then read the back cover and checked out if the disc was okay. Yeah, it was okay. "Why don't you play it?" asked the voice from the background. Because my f-king X360 is sent to maintenance and won't be back for two weeks! :mad:

I swear if I don't get it back in time for Dragon Age... I'm gonna post another angry post in the internet!

Yeah but I play with a guy I play SFIV with regularly with a very smooth connection and it's laughably shit. The netcode is disasterous.

Exactly. I am in the same exact situation. Shipping a game so broken like that is unacceptable. I cant play locally because none of my friends are into videogames anymore at my age.

I need decent online support!

Well, to be fair the priority is constant 60fps and no tear which Tekken 6 pulls of gloriously. I'm glad they prioritized that way because a fighting game that doesn't run at a constant 60fps just isn't worth playing.

Sometimes the rage takes over.

An old friend of mine got to the last boss in the first Xenosaga, couldn't beat him. So he takes out the disk and snaps it in half.

Wasn't even his game.

I wasn't trying to imply the netcode is any good. It is close to worthless, and it's a big shame Namco has showed no effort to improve it since DRO.

There's no rage in there though. It looks like they destroyed the disc because they were done with VF 5, not because they were raging.

I watched the video without sound, didn't know if he was upset.

I think we agree, though, that it's pretty stupid to do that to a game regardless.

Bloody Amazon still haven't dispatched Tekken 6. Supposed to be here for Friday. Looks like an unnecessary trip to my high street. Can't cancel it as it's 'being dispatched' (been that way since 11:00 this morning - it's now 19:45) so I'll have to return it when it gets here.
Really looking forward to it. I've always had a soft spot for Tekken since I bought Tekken 2 with my first PlayStation back in '96.

THAT was the frustration that SEGA built up on the dedicated American VF fans.With no known plans of bringing VF5R(the latest arcade only upgrade) to home consoles along with the facebook trolling earlier in the year the disc had to be the unfortunate victim. :lol

If I didn't have people to play against locally, I would have seriously considered holding off on buying the game. Sucks to hear about the online.

If they released it, only 5 guys would buy and we're 2 of them. That's how sad this is.
