Fighting Games are great but still all comes with down sides, Tekken is easily overdone by DOA cos of its great level graphics and has things such as counter attacks etc. Tekken only really has the video clips to support it in the best fighting game leaderboard, but DOA has some slight problems the video graphics aren't top notch like tekken and also things like end bosses are rediculusly unreal. yeah they have ninja's that may not be perfectly real but adds to some great game play but with tekken its like Devil well no i have never seen a devil and i doubt they have laser beams in their eyes also true ogre thats like a dragon and may as well be part of another game, finally Jinpachi Mischima yeah hes human but in tekken 5 is bazarly some sort of unique idiot that has some sort of gob as a belly just not real and DOA has Tengu a mythical creature great with bazarre attacks that just wouldn't really be capable cos i doubt the loch ness monster can do that. Also Alpha 152 yeah a clone of Kasumi that isn't Kasumi and is more of a water particle that can't be defeated. i spent 40 minutes with Tina against Alpha and still failed to beat her cos she has some sort of teleporting crap that as far as i'm concern may as well be a pokemon for all i care. i'm a grade B+ and can't beat a stupid CPU, games are meant to be fun not impossible. The CPU gets nothing out of beating me a bazillion times so why should it be soooo difficult. I gain something though achievements so start making the games more real and more playable cos they are just stupid. The only thing games like this do is lose customers who else agrees cos i think it is rediculous.

Awwwww, so 65 views and no-one can defend it well what a typical shame therefore goes to prove that games such as this should be modified to customer appeal and not to what they think is suitable, public opinion is definately what would improve games. Please attempt to defend this game.

after half a year i'll be the first to defend them. First thing is that there are different levels of diffuculty that you can choose, and if you can't beat easy then that's your fault not the games fault. Plus some games are just harder then others, so if you don't want the hard games for pro gamers then just ask about hhow hard a game is here so you can choose one you can handel.

The simple fact of the matter is the Tekken series will always and forever outperform the DOA series because it provided DOA its entire baseline framework for how a 2.5d fighter should work.

On a game-by-game basis though there are different conclusions to be drawn. I think most (if not all) gamers can agree that t4 was a huge step back in the series progression. While it was technically superior in nearly every way, I think namco missed out big when they decided to cater to the extreme minority of frame counters. It forced everyone else to focus on mechanics that simply were not fun, just so they could be competitive.

That direction shifted back a bit for t5, but it's still a matter of who can poke the most. Honestly, when was the last time you saw a pro tekken gamer who used a move that took more than 12 frames (Hworang notwithstanding)? Tekken fights are just boring to watch.

I long for the days when King's multithrow chains actually went the distance and Bruce was unstoppable.

I'm rambling... short version - As a series there is no question that Tekken has been light years ahead in innovation and game mechanics. On a game-by-game basis, it flipflops back and forth.

just my 37 cents,
b-

p.s. Honestly, who compares games based on the graphics of the backdrop? :P
