The challenge modes are funny. I randomly decided to finish off the hard time/survival trials and thought my stick was broken because I couldn't jump. I had this horrible feeling in my guts thinking about what I'd have to go through to fix/replace it while fiddling around trying to figure out what the problem was. Then I beat the stage and saw that the ability to jump was disabled during the trial. :lol

Watching that final round feed... somehow I lost all interest once tekken started! Matches end too fast and are not that interesting strat wise...
edit : wow way too much juggle in that game!

I think the meter management and super combos of 2d fighters adds a lot to the games, it's something I'm kind of surprised 3d fighters have never tried to implement. (As far as I know anyway...)DarkoMaledictus said:
Disclaimer: I'm no expert in tekken so what I'm about to say will probably seem pretty ignorant, but to me it seems like you can basically get combo'd for 80% pretty easily at any time with all the air and ground juggles that are possible. A little bit of momentum goes a long long way in the Tekken series.
Some other details make me appreciate 2d fighters as well, like when Lars has his back to the camera you can't see what the hell he's doing because his big ol' cape is obscuring his body almost entirely.

Saying matches don't look appealing to you is one thing, saying they're not interesting strat wise when you don't know what you're talking about is just ignorant.

That's not an opinion, you're just straight up sayin something wrong like you know what you're talkin about.
Also, say what you want, but you sound like someone that saw tekken for the first time *OMG JUGGLES WHAT* My opinion is you're clueless about tekken. And btw Playing "your fair share of tekken" =/= being anywhere near knowledgeable.
If you gonna post dumb pics and call out tekken, then don't be surprised when you get put on blast!
OH yeah, I want a good laugh, please explain what's so "uninteresting" about tekken strategy.

CO Andy,
I agree with the recent Amazon and Gamestop sales, it would be foolish to purchase to buy the SE.
However, Lyte said money was an issue. So, I gave him an alternative.
I'm looking at Amazon right now (now I'm not sure where Lyte Edge is) but here in the U.S., I can purchase the SE for $45:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001M22VCU/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Just sayin'. Out of the box, the SE is decent and gives him a taste of Sanwa like controls. If he's serious about using it, he can purchase the buttons ($2 - $3 X 8 buttons) and a Sanwa JLF ($25). This brings the SE to the same price as a discounted TE (not regular price). The TE prices on Big River are $120 and up.
It;s all about options.
And the Tekken 6BR finals were great. I found them entertaining. I also liked the KOF 2002UM finals.
Final Round definitely showed a variety of games.

Spiderjericho said:
Yes, I'm back in the States. The Amazon SE price is why I have finally decided to get myself a stick. That's just $5 more than the fightpads, which have worked well for me, but I feel like I have finally hit that wall and if I want to get better, I need to start using sticks again. There are matches I have where I will fuck up and a move won't come out like I want it to, costing me the match in some cases. Had enough of that!
Can you easily mod the Nyko SF 15th anniversary stick the same way as the SE? I've still got one of those in perfect shape packed up in the attic.

HOLY SHIT! Clutch fuckin play from flash metroid!
I think wong plays Jan next... Jan knocked out Wong in SBO qualifiers, let's see if he can do it again.

Yeah, that's a good price for the SE.
Let me just say, the TE>SE. The cable compartment, weight, 24mm start and select buttons, etc.
But for the $45 price, it's a good deal. And some people don't like to use sticks, so this'll give you exposure to the stick insanity. It takes a little while to get used to them. If you discover you like the control it gives, upgrade to the buttons and stick.
There's a thread on modding the 15th. If you're good with electronics/circuit boards, it shouldn't be too hard.

Sagat.
What a safe counterpick. That sucks. The standing roundhouse is ridiculous (almost as bad as Seth's jumping fierce).
Jan should've counterpicked the counter. Poor Jan. B.S.

In Tx tourneys, jan usually counterpicks sagat w/ abel, but the thing is even if he beats sagat, then wong picks rufus and rapes abel. That matchup is just as bad as gief/sagat.
Wong's just too good.

Too bad he didn't counter pick in return. Does Jan has too much pride or belief in his main or is it just ethics? It's just too bad that even the best player in our country will resort to tactics like this.
