[PS3] Tekken: Dark Resurrection (PS3)

Just got home from playing it somewhere, and I can honestly now say that the PS3 controller horribly fails for this game.... How does a floor grapple register for Marduk when I hit d/b+1+2!? Why do I get a hop punch when I press d/f + 3!? If you plan on getting this, PLEASE try to get the adapter for PS2 controls! The game looks very crispy in HD though...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It would fail. Look at DOA 4 online. There's like a 10 frame lag. That makes most jabs unblockable on reaction. Pretty retarded. If Tekken DR is gonna be online here, it's gonna fail with our crappy broadband.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Due to 8 frame jabbers, and other fast moves, Tekken requires pretty much NO LAG AT ALL. Even the PSP multiplayer has trouble churning it out at a good pace.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have to say, IMO, VF defenitly has more depth. This is coming from a huge Tekken whore too. Tekken just has more flash, and is a lot easier to pick up and play. I look at it like this:


Flashiness <---- DOA ---- Tekken ---- VF ----> Fighting Engine

Most amazing jew boots

The resolution bump is quite outstanding, especially in the grassy field. The two new characters (well, mostly new to me since I've never played DR in any other format) are awesome as well; Lili is an instant favorite with her Karin-inspired design and very awesome throws (and her second outfit is quite easy on the eyes), and Dragunov is just plain scary (but still falls a distant second over Brian Fury).

And thankfully, when they said that you had to pay to download the additional movies and outfits, they meant game money, not real world money. I hope other companies will do the same whenever they decide to include microtransactions.

Jinpachi is an even cheaper bastard than before. Now he has a rapid-fireball attack! Good thing the same strategy still works, but you need to be careful. Lili can take him out with no problem at all, though.

The game definetely needs a practice mode. Not only am I still learning the ropes with Jin (I miss his Mishama-style way of fighting), but I need to practice with the two new characters as well. Hopefully they'll patch other modes into the game later on, especially the online mode.

And I love the music in Devil Jin's level. Very Kajiura-esque.

Why not just use Devil Jin if you want Mishima style Jin? He is top tier in this game after all.

Jinpachi always had the rapid fireballs. You can low parry them now. (d/f) He can also shoot one from the floor when he's face up.

You can also concider Armor King a new character because he's VERY different from the older versions.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well I wouldn't say it's a combo game. There's lots of things to concider like tech traps, mix ups, set ups, and oki.

If you get hit with Devil Jin's eye beam, you deserve the damage it does. Same goes with any unblockable. It's not abusable at all. Just duck it. If it's the flying version, side step it.

Best character I can recommend for beginners is Paul. All you gotta know first is Quarter Circle Forward (fireball motion) + Triangle. You can pick up everything else as you play more.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm purposly not using the Zaibatsu legend so new players can understand the inputs i'm saying. Down + Square + Triangle for Paul is awesome though. Just not abusable. Phoenix Smasher isn't abusable either. Best for whiff punishment.

FELIPE NO

If you liike kicks so much, try out Baek, and Hwoarrang.(SP?)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Here's a bad quality video of me fumbling around with the PS3 control vs my friend...

Actually he moves around too much for his own good, and does launchers WAY too much. I now take advantage of that. Hopefully we both learn from our mistakes and get better.

Oh there's a huge variety at the local arcade near me. It makes it easier to improve here than in most other places. Sadly it's also the reason the East Coast is looked down upon by other top players. They think the quality of competition should be better because of the variety of people.

I downloaded the Japanese version and good god is it unplayable. Although the closest guy I got to play with was in New Jersey, and i'm in NYC. I'll reserve full judgement for when the US version comes out though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well KOF: Neowave ran beautifully on XBox Live for me back when I was playing it. Although it's not frame dependant to the point of Tekken. Even if you have 1 or 2 frames of lag, that ruins properly punishing a lot of dangerous moves, and can mess with throw breaking. I just want the US version to at least be playable though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

^^ What he said.

On a side note, did they announce KOFXI will go online for the PS2!? If so, I have a lot of good times to look forward to!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Bleh, all the earlier ones went online in JPN also, but didn't go online over here. Really makes no sense to me why they wouldn't do it.

FELIPE NO

Actually Marduk is my main, but i'm playing extremly sluggish right now. >_< Got some rust to work off...
