Fastest way to unlock stuff? Someone said ghost battles but I can't figure out the rate at which stuff drops/unlocks. Is it totally random or do you rank or when you beat certain people? I'll get lots of stuff and then long stretches of nothing. Should I switch characters?
I'm not a new Tekken player, I'm just not a frequent player. This is flat out nuts. If the ranking works well Ill try a few more times over the next few weeks. As it is I live near NYC and quite obviously we've got people who sleep with FAQs on their heads. When you're past a certain point in your life and you decide to play some chess for a bit of fun, you wouldn't want 90% of your matches to be against Bobby Fischer.
Anyone have any Bryan/Dragunov tips? I'm getting worked.
Landing a counter hit netsu Deathfist is the most fun in this game.
So some things I've learned tonight.
-Xiaoyu/Kuni may not be the perfect pair. Maybe swapping out Xiaoyu for Lili or Leo but eh, something doesn't feel so right.
-Sayah is a fucking beast. The last couple of matches I was trying to see if it's just my connection that's going bad (displaying 0 bar) or I don't know. Either way, the man knows how to fill your jar with super shit salt. However in light of all this, it's exposure to the characters he plays. So meaning I want more time. Even if it means 100 matches of losing.
-Online as a whole has been extremely well. I'm still a bit sad of the missing background animations online but it's the music that keeps me pumped.
-Skin textures are really really strange with my characters in swimsuits. It's like they have really old skin or something. I know it's suppose to be dirt effects and what not but eh. What can ya do.
-I fall for the dumbest shit ever. Example: Kaz 1,2,3,4 move done over and over. My brain goes dumb and I just freeze and lose to it. Time to step my game up because that pisses me off to no end.
All'n all, great game. Great experience. A smile on my face the whole time. I can't wait to play more and more of this gem.
So I hear not all characters get CG endings? It's forgiveable considering the size of the roster, but for a popular character like Lee to (apparently) miss out on one... makes me wonder just how many got shafted.
A little disappointed.
............Lee has an ending. I think Tiger is the only character missing an ending.
How does Namco make the best online net code for a 3D fighter? Are they using rollbacks like ggpo?
Simply amazing.
Wondering if I should've picked this over P4A. LOL.
How do you unlock the extra portraits
A prettyful CG ending, I mean. Saw a post on TZ that said Lee's (and others) are rendered with the game engine. Is this untrue? I'm trying to avoid watching any of them online. ;_;
I've had mine unlock through Ghost Mode runs. There's also tabs in the customization with hair types that you can't select. Not sure if those are something for future DLC or they unlock.
Nah. Lee's ending is not rendered with the game engine. It's a prettyful CG ending, lol. There are endings like Christie or Forest Law that have a unique or different style/animation, though. And even those endings aren't bad. On the contrary, they are very creative and unique in their own way and I'm glad they were made the way they were.
2 days till launch...
Is the left analog not working for character movement on PS3? It did for Tekken 6...
2 days till launch...

I'm probably just confused but there are characters on the background of the pool stage in the latter half of this video... I thought that wasn't the case online? Someone enlighten.
From what's been said, there has been stuttering or something of the sort on the 360 version. But apparently installing the game on the 360 helps fix that problem. PS3 has a mandatory install so that's probably why I haven't experienced anything of the sort on the PS3. In the end, just go with the version you have more friends on.
I posted some brief impressions that seem to have been completely ignored.
I double-dipped and find that the 360 version is better. I have the game installed and have encountered no stuttering issues so far. There have been a few brief pauses when achievements get unlocked, however.
I can't pass judgment on the visuals just yet, as I have played the 360 version on a 22" monitor and the PS3 version on a 42" HDTV, but PS3 version seemed to have the trademark jaggies and the image quality takes a major nosedive during win poses (thankfully this is the only time where the IQ just looks awful...and let me stress that it looks BAD).
The biggest difference I have noticed are the load times. 360 (again, installed) loads everything up right away. On PS3, it takes time to load the backgrounds on the menu screens and there is an incredibly-annoying "pause" when loading the outfit selection window or picking a character with any outfit equipped other than their defaults on the character select screen. It's so bad that I have had the timer run out and the game pick the wrong partner when playing online.
To alleviate this, I've set a number of tag teams I generally go for, but even then the game STILL has the pause to load the extra outfits. I hope they patch this and am surprised no one else is mentioning it.
RIP said:To all new Tekken players. Do NOT jump straight into online. Fight lab then practice mode w ur character 1st first. Arcade/ghost battle too
Man, jeff has no idea on how to play with the new tekken system at all.
I searched but I don't think I still got a clear answer: is the Snoop stage always the first stage in Arcade mode?
