well you make it sound like it's a bad thing. (well i can't help that if you saw it the wrong way, i just said that the reason why it was popular is because people new to the franchise can pick it up easily)

When anyone can beat anyone and it's been like this since Tekken 2-3.

It's accessible is how you should describe it. (fair enough, i might have chosen my words wrong)

Yoshimistu's hand spinning can easiy be dodged by just ducking it. (he can combine that with the spinning legs too, but then again i guess they can be blocked)

A button masher wouldn't take the time to learn to dodge, counter, and box in characters button masher do what they do button mash, However Tekken button mashing will not get you far.

You wanna see how Tekken is really played you check out the tourney's at Shoryuken.com or I to prove I know what I'm talking about hit me up for a game on PSN for Tekken DR either PS3 or PSP. (well obviously in a professional tournament where people play it 24/7 it's a different story, i was referring really more to people that are just experienced with tekken games in the past i guess which is why i said "almost anybody" on my original post, but your obviously a better judge than me as you seem to be among that elite crew)

PSN: Admiralduane. (I might be tempted to having a friendly game with you one day ;) will add your name for future)

I also noticed this, unsure if this is you aswell or not so forgive me if this isn't.

He should check out the actual fights and actually know a little about Tekken first and understand the genre first because it's been a around for a very long time now. (i don't think that's a very fair evaluation of me, i was playing Tekken non-stop from Tekken 1-3 & Tag and a little of the 4th and 5th. So i should think i have a little understanding of the genre and the tekken series whatever you wanted me to learn first as you stated i should learn this first then the other first too....)

Incidently, I pre-ordered an Xbox360 copy and will be recieving it next week and the PS3 version in December looking to get the PSP version as well.(well clearly i won't know more about Tekken than a guy who plans to buy Tekken 6 on all available platforms)

Are you referring yourself as a button masher and a noob? IMO it can go both ways but the one who knows what they are doing is obviously going to have the upper hand, as with all fighting games, try not to be so narrow minded.

AdmiralBison

Well then obviously a semi skilled fighter wouldn;t be able to handle a novice as easily as an expert. However it doesn't mean there is something inherritantly and heavily wrong with the fighting engine.

albeit there will be certain fighters more suited to button mashers however the roster of characters are fairly balanced and have been going through tweeks, frames and counter moves for years.

Yoshimitsu is not a button masher friendly character yet he is deadly against any newb.

Well.... duh! My original point wasn't about semi-skilled fighters being less skilled than experts, your just twisting it. I was pointing out that a novice can easily pick up a certain fighter and go easily toe-to-toe with someone of an intermediate level, maybe even some experts.

And Yoshimitsu kind of is a button masher (not as bad as others), he still uses those spinning fists and kicks these days?

[QUOTE="Dark_Highlander"]

It's popular and noob friendly seeing as anyone can button mash a win against almost anybody. It's been like that since Tekken 3.

Play games like Shadow of the Collosus. That is art ;)

[QUOTE="Dark_Highlander"] Did they not mention somewhere that there was a rumor of a Zelda game coming out this year?Dark_Highlander

Well there's The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks...

I got the Zelda idea from this article http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6202650.html?tag=result;title;1

[QUOTE="Dark_Highlander"][QUOTE="darthogre"] If it is a big Mario or Zelda game, they need to announce it VERY soon. Waiting until E3......that is really cutting it close announcing a big title like that. That's why I'm not jumping to conclusions that its going to be one of their key properties.......maybe in Nintendo's eyes but not the gamers. But we shall see in the coming months as time is running out to announce it.millwrought

Well there's The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks...

[QUOTE="Dark_Highlander"]

Zelda?

darthogre

Zelda?

I'm glad somebody mentioned Ghostbusters, that seems to be a game that people tend to forget about.

Other than that ones im most looking forward to are.... Modern Warfare 2, God of War III (If it gets released this year), Tekken 6, Starcraft 2 and Batman: AA (Dependent on reviews).
