Want Tekken 6, but don’t have an arcade stick for that authentic fighting game experience? Why not try and win one.
From Monday to Friday this week, we’ll be giving away one Tekken 6 Arcade Stick Edition on Xbox 360 each day. It comes with a wireless arcade stick from stick specialists Hori, a 100-page art book and, of course, a copy of the game.
To win, you’ll need to once more impress us with your literary creativity. Yes, it’s haiku time again on Kotaku. We want you to write an ode to Tekken (or perhaps just fighting games in general) in haiku form. And the haiku form we’re counting is three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables.
Leave your haiku in the comments below. You must leave it before midnight today to be eligible for today’s draw. Check back tomorrow at 10am to see if you’ve won and, if you didn’t, to enter tomorrow’s draw with a brand new haiku.
Please note: As per usual, only one entry per day is allowed. If you leave multiple entries, only the first haiku will be considered.
Tuesday’s winner is James, who pays tribute to his favourite Jackie Chan lookalike:
Play dead on the floor Snake to crane, crane to panther Lei, drunken master
UPDATE: Wednesday’s draw is now closed! Stay tuned for Thursday’s at 10am.

When my stick turn on

Spamming foes to frustration
Her breasts cause pain
Tekken arcade stick:
Now when I get my arse beat,
I’ll have no excuse.
Tekkens moves are whack
Embarass mates with the moves
Lee Run-Up Body Slam!
Modern Pinocchio
Lifeless outside of Tekken
Fights for great justice
Man on couch, two thumbs
Balding, beer gut, lives with mum
The art of fighting
Can’t beat my Feng Wei
Intimidating handle
It is Sum Dum Fook
Growl growl grooowwwlll growl growl
Growl growl growl, grow GROWL!
Growl Growl GROWL. King Wins.

Every rose has its thorn, “C’mon”,
Tuxedo warrior.
I come to destroy
You can’t stop me, no one can.
Fear Bryan Fury.
Robot chainsaw girl
Wooden doll fights kangaroo
Devs deem fireballs fake?
A new challenge appears
He holds the reins of the world
Fear the Cardboard Tube
Our souls are as one
A battle between best friends
Our fight knows no end…
Jin’s Haiku
Father, grandfather,
your cursed blood will never match
this devil of mine
Launching silently
Raining thunder from above
Death to you all

Round two, Get up, dust off, Win.
Now Final Round, Fight
