I have always been a huge Tekken fan. Eyes bloodshot, fingers cramped and snacks demolished, the Tekken series was always a big part of my gaming nights. When I heard about Tekken Hybrid I was super excited. Well…excited about the HD remake of Tekken Tag. I can’t say I care much for the movie or the demo of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, though maybe if it had more characters it’d be more fun.
Check out the pieces of the bundle for yourself in the video above!

As an absolute noob I could launch my character’s (King’s) fastest attack at the start of a round, and take my opponent down to 20% health from a bread and butter combo continuation.

Thursday, November 24, 2011 at 4:11 PMI originally felt the same way you do, that it was slow and unresponsive. It depends on which incarnation you play, though.
I remember Tekken 4 and Tekken Tag being quite slow and dull.
I find Tekken 5 to be pure awesome. I couldn’t even begin to estimate the number of hours I’ve sunk into Dark Ressurection on my PSP.

Tekken 1 & 2 were indeed kind of clumsy, but Tekken 3, 5 and 6 are just about right.

Thursday, November 24, 2011 at 4:18 PMi don’t get it, compared to what?
Virtua Fighter is slower
Soul Calibur runs about the same speed
Dead or Alive is faster -but I personally find it too fast.

I didn’t realise this for ages but each character has a series of moves that can link to the next move and so-on. It is kind of complex and relies on a bit of strategy. Of course like all beat-em-ups you can just spam attacks to win, but those are the breaks I guess.
