They're really churning them out quickly now (them being Namco fighting games).
Hopefully it'll be just as delightful as Tekken 5, which still hasn't been realeased in Europe
As long as the story keeps it's stupidity and the game plays liek 5 (but looks prettier), it should be fun
I wonder who will be dead except not this time

I just wish I'd get my hands on T5 so that I'd know who does(n't) die
I hear Asuka is in T5 too

Raven is a pretty bad character that's mainly there to satisfy the black quota.
Asuka is a good character to control
Feng is... there...

Well, Jin Kazama is the main character again. He was the main character in 3, as well. I have hardly played 4 or 5 honestly, but still, that's 3 games apart. How much time passes by between these tournaments?

Well the sad thing is Tekken has more of a story than Virtua FIghter or Dead or Alive ever will.
I hope it'll be good. Doesn't look impressive, but I'm hopeful. And it being on 360 makes me feel alot better even if it's not that good.

Bleh. Tekken has never really held any draw fro the RDM...though neither has Dead or Alive or Virtua Fighter. Soul Calibur, on the other hand...there's a fighter.

How is SC a fighter but VF isn't?
I'm not a big 3d fighter fan in general but I love DoA and VF.
DoA for cheap thrills and nothing but fun gameplay, and VF for the more serious fighting. SC and Tekken are pretty meh to me. SC much much less so than Tekken, but I can't really get into SC.

The RDM was using "there's a fighter" to imply "there's a fighter that the RDM likes" or something to that effect.
To be honest, the RDM hasn't played a Virtua Fighter since several incarnations back. He liked...4, was it? He's not sure.
As for serious fighter action, the RDM doubts there will ever be a game in the genre to eclipse Super Smash Bros. Melee.

In terms of a pure fighting game taking skill and all, Tekken would probably go neck and neck with Virtua Fighter. DoA is boring and can be button mashed to obscurity. Soul Calibur is pure fun and button mashing taking in the skill and fun of Tekken mixed with the button mashing of DoA. Kind of doesn't make sense, but that's what it seems like.
I will say though that Tekken 5 along with Dark Ressurection is probably the msot fun I've ever had playing a 3D fighter. I haven't played VF5 yet though.

Difference is, I can beat people by button mashing in SC (hell, I've beaten people in the past playing Soul Calibur 2 witha Beatmania IIDX controller!). I can't beat people by button mashing in e.g. Street Fighter 3.

That's because it's SF3. SF3's fighting system basically kicks every one else's in the balls. It's on another level (although it's far from my favorite, because most of the characters suck). Button mash and do hadoukens and shit and I'll just parry every hit!

3D Fighters suck. At least all the 3D Fighters in my range of experience do, not that I care for the genre that much anyway.
