dont bash it totally. I've had mostly shitty connections, but I've had a few that are lag free which impresses it can even work with Tekken.

wat. I've played 27 matches in player, only 5 green bar, and there is always at least a quarter second input delay, and that's best case scenario. Input delay on the freakin character select screen with my buddy down the road, whom we both have the same ISP, direct connected, and for reference games like SF4, BB, and VF5 are all offline quality.

Sucks because right now this is my favorite fighting game. It's crazy what people will put up with online...the community is live and kicking, but man when the best connection in Tekken is about the equivalent to a 2 bar connection in SF... what the hell happened.

Please. Please. Please patch the online netcode Namco.

 

[MrPliskin]

Platinum trophy Get!

Now I just have to wait until I'm around people I can play locally, since that's really what Tekken is all about anyway.

They are, I remember reading it at Iplaywinner. Just no date yet on when it's coming.

I don't like how YT downgrades my videos like a whole lot.

This is how it's supposed to look.

#@#%@$%@#@%$!!!

 

[zoukka]

Wow I tried turning motion blur off and it was a strange experience! The characters look sharp now, but they have this "marionette" movement to 'em and everything looks totally choppy even though it's 60fps.

I now actually crave for games that have a higher framerate than 60fps

What? No.

...

What?

 

[LowParry]

So...I've been maining Jin and Armor King lately. Which is completely opposite of what I used to play in five which was Kazuya and Ling. But goddamn, Armor King is boss. I need a third and looking to pick up Bob though. I wanted to give Leo a good try but I need a little more complexity with a new character. And Bob has it.

 

[luka]

What? No.

...

What?

Yes. If you've actually seen games running over 60fps on a monitor that can actually display those frames you wouldn't be so confused. Motion blur goes a long way to replicating the experience.

 

[obaidr]

i hate the fact there is not custom soundtrack in online mode. Why is it so? Doesnt make any sense to me.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

just started screwing around with bob and kinda enjoy him... out of the new guys so far I'm wanting to learn more either lars or bob.

 

[Yoshichan]

Ok FUCK all other games, I've had my two days of break with The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 and now I'm returning. HARD.

*starts up practice*

See you in 8-9 hours!

 

[Kadey]

In a far away time, booooooooooooooooooooom! :lol Okay, I probably shouldn't laugh.

 

[Yoshichan]

And immediately I find out that Bryan's super awesome df+3 is juggle+bound-friendly (72 damage combo) :lol Bryan is ridiculous in this game.

 

[obaidr]

since tekken Tag Bob is best new character. Great combos, great personality.

 

[Yoshichan]

THREE battles later online and I get my first:

"Fuck you and fuck Lee *** ass "

:lol I love this, pity about the lag though.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

And immediately I find out that Bryan's super awesome df+3 is juggle+bound-friendly (72 damage combo) :lol Bryan is ridiculous in this game.

I'm genna say that Bryan is really alot more fun in T6 than in T5... T5 he was just scary... in T6 he's fun.

 

[Yoshichan]

I just met the best Kazuya player in my life. I wrote 10/10 KAZ in subject, my most epic two battles I've had online in Tekken! I suspected he was from GAF, true?

 

[Yoshichan]

And can someone please tell me what fucking ass hole at Namco decided NOT to let Kazuya stagger after his third hit being blocked on his air kick-thing?

 

[Arpharmd B]

Ok guys. I need GAF help.

Train. With Demons. Halp.

How the fuck are you supposed to beat this? I have tried EVERYTHING. I think after about 100 trys, and that is no exageration, the furthest I got, somehow, was Jin and I was about 50 percent of his life, then A THOUSAND FUCKING DEMONS raped me and I cryed.

How. How. How GAF. I ask you. How.

 

[Yoshichan]

Minigun + Shoot him out.

 

[SapientWolf]

Yes. If you've actually seen games running over 60fps on a monitor that can actually display those frames you wouldn't be so confused. Motion blur goes a long way to replicating the experience.

I have and it looks awful unless the game is synced to your monitor's refresh rate. Tearing aplenty.

If it looks choppy then either the animation is trash or it's not running vsynced.

 

[Arpharmd B]

Minigun + Shoot him out.

Oh so save the minigun for the boss? Didn't think about that one. Thanks for the tip.

Still easier said than done though :/.

What in general can I do from letting these demons rape me and Allisa in 2 seconds? I find myself spamming back+lp+hp since it's safe, knocks down, and does good damage. Then when I'm surrounded I throw a demon, even though they usually break the throw, at least it knocks down each surrounding demon and gets them the fuck off of you for 2 seconds.

I beat it by saving the gatling, getting D.Jin at a 90° angle to the side and just shooting him off the train with it. Instant Win!

Who are you using? That has a good amount of impact on how hard it is, believe it or not. Some moves are more useful than others.

Basic tips are:

Use items that give freeze and electrify stats for both characters.
250+ health is pretty much necessary.
Damage modifiers are a plus.
Item and money modifiers are useless.

Also, give Alisa a weapon on her back, generally it can hit multiple enemies and extends the combo for her.

Also, try to dispatch enemies as quickly as possible. It's best to save the mini-gun for the big waves of enemies.

Lastly, when Jin appears, you can juggle him off the train no problem with a hop kick and a few jabs.

 

[scotcheggz]

If the gun fails, you can juggle him out, you just have to be quick! I kept missing with the gun and ran out of bullets where I was all in a panic, so I just went mental and managed to juggle him off the edge. That put on a sweat, I'll tell you! :lol

Good S and A rank items. Defense, HP, attack, and elemental damage. Make sure Alisa has 'em too. Those, a good button string that hits in an arc and the gatling should see you through.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Pliskin: I'm using Lars/Allisa. I have Lars health maxed, but Allias isn't and I don't have the items to max it. I will try equipping freeze items. Is there an area where I can get better life powerups for Allysa?

 

[Arpharmd B]

Wheres a good place to find those items for alisa?

 

[Yoshichan]

Farm the train with two good increase-%-dropratio-items (equipped with both characters) I was fully equipped with S-gear with both Alisa and Paul in an hour.

Sweet thanks for the help everyone. I'm glad I asked about this here.

 

[MrPliskin]

Also, Kazuya's stage isn't bad for items either.

Though, Nightmare Train is probably best, there's somewhere between 40 and 50 enemies that can potentially drop items, and they are generally fairly good items. You should be able to select your difficulty, and I believe playing on higher difficulties will yield better items.

Yoshi's stage is just as good as nightmare and easier honestly

 

[Gray-Okami]

Finally finished nightmare train in hard...
they should fix the online for more practice

I really enjoy playing Lars, such a smooth character. His action looks nice on screen as well. Also, I really do like Zafina(sp), her style is pretty odd, but she is right up my ally. Heard she was at the bottom of the tier lists, but i dont really care. Ill make her awesome!

Lars does look pretty cool, I think I'll use him next. I'll have to play around with customizations though, 'cause he looks like a fuckin' idiot with that hairstyle.

I'm guessing you saved the image as a bmp or png and then gave it to tinypic to compress like mad? :P

I've learned it's best to do the jpg compression yourself and then upload it to tinypic. Or find a place you can host a png or bmp. :)

Are you using Windows movie maker for encoding? If so, publish the video at 720p

 

[akachan ningen]

You lie. I use custom soundtrack while playing online all the time.

 

[hteng]

really weird, i get full bars, there's still noticeable lag in the inputs. Maybe the game isn't too tight to begin with (when compare to Soul Calibur 4) + the online latency just makes it feel somewhat clunky, but combos aren't difficult to pull off as you can buffer them and dial it out as soon as possible.

Gameplay wise I don't see the appeal, it emphasis on combo memorization and fishing with safe moves (kinda 2D-ish). There's very minimal positioning (there's the wave dash back and forth but it's still linear), side steps kinda sucks, not alot of mind games either expect during wake up but you usually get plummet either way when you are against a wall, not sure about tech traps, haven't seen any yet. Overall its a very twitchy fighter that requires finger dexterity & great reflexes (which i have neither), the buffering is very lax though, you can input commands way before it comes out.

i like the electronic fountain stage's music and lars is my main.. kinda.. coz he's pretty straightfoward.

 

[Teknoman]

I havent experienced this yet, but cant you break walls to enter new areas of the arena? Or was I misinformed?

 

[V_Arnold]

Yes, you can. After 20-ish hours of play, Id say it is a bit "random" when it happens, and only happens in designated points of specific arenas.

I believe there's tutorials on youube explaining how to convert your videos for perfect youtube quality.

 

[rvy]

Yes. If you've actually seen games running over 60fps on a monitor that can actually display those frames you wouldn't be so confused. Motion blur goes a long way to replicating the experience.

I thought that 60 was the most a Human eye could handle.

 

[faridmon]

PSP port is the definitive version

serious post?

if you are sarcastic, i don't have next gen console

Spoiler

cheap ass uni student

and since they announced it on the psp, i said what the heck and decided to go with that one given that they already impressed me with dark resurrection and broken destiny is the definitive version of SC IV.

 

[luka]

I thought that 60 was the most a Human eye could handle.

People only think that because they've never seen a monitor that could display over 60Hz. Even if your game is rendering 100+ frames you won't see them if your screen can't display them. Unfortunately even if we had screens capable of accepting a 100+Hz signal (as far as I know there are only a couple monitors on the market that can), you'd need a good pc to actually render the game fast enough to take advantage of it. Console games will definitely max out at 60 for a long time to come, but trust me, playing a game at 120fps is a revelatory experience. Until we get to the point where that is commonplace, motion blur is a great substitute.

I played quake 3 a few years back on a 120Hz crt and it really left an impression on me.

 

[y2dvd]

And can someone please tell me what fucking ass hole at Namco decided NOT to let Kazuya stagger after his third hit being blocked on his air kick-thing?

You talking about Kaz' u/f 4,4,4,4? Just low parry the 2nd or third hit and punish. BTW, Bryan's d/f 3 isn't that great. It's one of his slowest moves and is easily punishable. Only use it in desperation mode or if you anticipate a high move.

Call me crazy but I'm actually enjoying Campaign mode a bit now. First playthru was with Bryan on medium. Second playthru is with Dragonuv on hard. So far I've picked up the best items on Heihachi's stage, but I haven't tried Yoshimitsu's stage on hard to see if there's better item drops.

I still refuse to play online after hearing all the ill reaction to it. :lol

 

[zoukka]

And immediately I find out that Bryan's super awesome df+3 is juggle+bound-friendly (72 damage combo) :lol Bryan is ridiculous in this game.

Have you played this game against anyone competitive? df+3 is great in the laggy online, but a suicide in local play.

 

[Leunam]

Have you played this game against anyone competitive? df+3 is great in the laggy online, but a suicide in local play.

It really is, I learned that very quickly and now rarely use it unless I've trained my opponent to block high throughout the match. There are faster and safer bound moves, like qcf+4 (I think that's the one).
