So, are they ever going to tell us if Jun is dead or not? They keep dancing around that subject, it's a simple yes or no!

Cool, the patch will be out before my month's free LIVE trial expires.
The PSP version is pretty good. Installed, the load times are around 5 seconds...about the same as the console versions. They dropped the 3D characters on the select/versus screen in favor of artwork, but the quality of the portraits is so UGLY...grainy as hell. Really nice port; at times it's really impressive (almost, if not all the background details are there, like the jet flying right over you on the fallen colony stage, falling through floors, etc. etc.), but at other times it looks like Tekken 5 DR PSP (I could swear Lili's character model is the same). Like Soul Calibur Broken Destiny, there are no replays. They also changed it so that characters intro and win poses have no background music, although it's kind of hard to hear some characters on the console versions, so I don't mind this. Unfortunately, all characters with third outfits from guest artists have been removed.
One thing I have read but cannot confirm for myself yet is that when playing ad-hoc versus, you are limited to only four stages. Can't say I'm bothered by this either, since I got this game strictly for practice on the go. But that is weird since DR and Soul Calibur let you play on any stage.

Apparently Lars ending is

Brief rundown on the pros and cons of the PSP version.
+ The game is running at 60fps. This was expected, but just confirming!
+ The load times are quick when the game is installed. Takes around 5 seconds to load a match.
- The change to character portraits is awful, because the images they used are grainy and low quality.
+ Plenty of play modes, including arcade, ghost battle, story, practice, time attack, survival, and ghost rush.
- No modes like Dojo or extras like Tekken Bowl this time.
+ All of the stages are intact, with most of or all of the background details present. (Lighting is obviously not there.)
- There's something strange about playing against Jin on his stage. It almost feels slower at times, and the look is a little blurry. The latter reminds me of a few stages in TK5 DRO on PS3.
+ All 40 characters are intact.
- No 3P outfits for those who have them. (Why?)
- Customization is limited compared to the console versions.
+ A good number of parts and hair types are still available.
- No replays (same as Soul Calibur Broken Destiny)
-/+ No music during character intros and win poses. This is sort of a plus and minus, because now it makes hearing what everyone says much easier.
Overall, I'm impressed with the port. Is it as good as Tekken 5 DR in terms of being EXACTLY the same as its arcade/console counterparts, plus having extras? No. Is it still worth it since everything important is intact, and the game play is spot-on? Absolutely. This is still a great portable translation of Tekken 6, and worth picking up.
The only thing I cannot confirm is whether or not you really do only fight on four "new" stages in ad-hoc. I doubt the previous posters who said that were making it up, though. I didn't get this game for versus, anyway. I got to have Tekken 6 on the go, for more practice. If I'm going to play against a human opponent, it's going to be on the 360 or PS3 versions anyway.

Just got this game, and I have a question:
Is there anyway to sticky the command list in the practice mode and be able to change the move set on screen without going through the menus each time? Tekken 5 PSP had this function (you moved to the next move set via the nub) so I'd assume Namco would have left this in for T6 (unless Namco have been learning from Konami on how to gimp their games and piss off their fanbase).
Also, why is it that in 2p vs mode, player 2 can stop the victory sequence with the x button but can't select any of the menu functions and start a new game? It just seems like this game is peppered throughout with really bad system design.

I just picked it up and feel the same.
I'm just glad to be playing again since my PS3 drive fried
My biggest gripe is the audio quality, but it's not the worst. Plus the menu music rocks.
The fact that you can actually rank up and the fact that it loads super fast makes it worth it alone IMHO.
That guy trying to explain the actual experience is doing a really bad job though. And he played against someone who doesn't even live that far away, which is a bad test. If you play against someone close by with the current netcode, that'll play with only a tiny amount of input lag.AAK said:
It's nice Namco are at least trying to fix the netcode, but at this point it just seems too late. The netcode needs a total overhaul. I'll be absolutely amazed if the patch has a noticable improvement on the input lag.

It going for 2 more hours, or will start in 2 hours? I don't see it at the link.
He said it was a "little worse then SFIV" Also, it was about 500 miles, so it's not a horrible test- it isn't Tokyo to Osaka like what SNK did.
Sounds like SCIV netcode to me.
That will be a decent sized improvement, I just don't know if it will be enough.
I'll judge on my own merits- nothing said has given me an impression either positive or negative.

The lighting in the PSP version is impressive.
The more I play the PSP version, the more I'm impressed with it. So many details were kept intact. It's easily more impressive than Soul Calibur Broken Destiny was.
Missing details I have noticed:
-No tracks in the snow stage.
-No truck in the beginning of the Asian village stage.
-Less sheep on Hidden Retreat.
-No breast bounce (whatta crime!)
The most impressive stage is the dojo by the sea. Looks like all the details, from the crashing waves to the priest in the very background, are in.
Anything else?

The money pit stage has some effects I've honestly never seen the PSP do. Plus the environmental particle effects like the paper debris and whatnot are awesome.
The load times really make it fun. It's shorter than TDR PSP after install.
My biggest gripe is the lack of some items, but the plus side of that is that similar items (aka items that come in different colors but you have to buy the same item in a different color to change it) are gone. It's just buy the type of item you want and then change the colors of it. Nice and easy ^_^
I think namco said they won't do it, but I wish they would do an update for the PSP version with more items at one point. Esp since PSP now supports software updates.

I got in on that action yesterday... barely.
I went over to Amazon and clicked on the deals page to see what was the lightening deal and saw the $59.99 price.... and a big fat 99% SOLD and so I panicked and hit 'add to cart' without thinking of it.
I knew it was about $130~$150 originally at Best Buy, since I asked about it about a week ago... and knew $59 was as good as it would get for this.
Feels good man.

In case you guys haven't noticed the online patch has been up for few hours now.
Before I say too much I will give it a try again tommorrow, because right now after first impressions I want to throw some really, really ugly words in face of namco and all the whiners that bitched about the previous netcode. Right now it stands on that... Namco broke the netcode totally for me - all matches are red bars, no one wants to play, lag with red bar was 2 second lag. I never had 2 second lag on a red bar before the patch. I had a decent online experience with T6, now I have none. Thanks.

No patch? Wait. That means they didn't release it in all regions? I got Asia version of the game (I'm in Europe).
Maybe that's why it was so shitty.
Edit: Btw. Ranked matches can be searched by regions: World, Europe, America, Asia and... Japan. Japan got their own region.

Yeah- I think one region has it, the others don't yet.
Give it a day or two. No rush.

Yeah, I was sure they'd poped the patch for all regions. If the game tried to connect me with someone in Beijing then I have faith for tommorrow.
Edit: And suddenly the list of player matches all with red bars makes sense. It could mean the game listed only the asian players.
Yeah, gotta wait until everyone has the patch first. I saw some other similar "F U NAMCO" posts from people in other countries, too. I think one guy was playing from Pakistan...no wonder he's got lag.
EDIT: I just hope the patch makes it easier to deal with crap like this:

Enough lag, and Kazuya spammers are invincible. :/

"Hmm...so for Tekken 3, we are bringing the series into the future. All characters will age 15 years. What do you want to do about the females? Jun?"
"Let's kill her!" "OK. We'll make Jin her son and give him some of her moves."
"Michelle?"
"Let's kill her!"
"All right. We can just put in her daughter or something."
"Anna and Nina?"
"Let them age?"
"....."

"Seriously, any ideas?"
"Let's kill th--" "Now, now, we can't be doing that with everyone."
"I know! CRYO FREEZE!" "Great job!"
"That's the females. What about the males?
"Huh? Let 'em age, who gives a ****? Throw the ones we don't want into a volcano or something. Nobody cares. Now get cracking on new females. We need a Chinese schoolgirl."

I gave an enthusiastic YES when that kazuya lost. Why did that guy keep getting up though.
