Tekken 5 & Annoyances & SLAM TIME!!!!
Does anyone out there play Tekken 5 with friends that resort to the cheapest way to win? i.e. THE SHIN KICK!!!! I just thought this might be a nice place for the normal players to vent about the cheapness of moves the people they know do to win at any cost.

Unfortunately, most of my friends suck at T5. All they do is button mash. It can be challenging sometimes only because they're so unpredictable. The one friend I have that is really good at fighting games we don't get to meet much. We play a lot online, so it sucks that T5 isn't online.

When I used to play Xander in college in Tekken 2 for the PS1, he'd do nothing but Paul's elbow-sweep combo. I hated Paul. ![Smilie](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
He'll be here soon to bitch about my mad Anna/Nina skills

You know, I love fighting games, but I miss the old days where there were just a few and every one of my friends played street fighter. Now, these great games come out, but few of my friends invest the time to even just learn all the moves, and it becomes a button-mashing fest. Either that, or I go online and get my butt kicked.

I forgot to mention that learning to low parry is essential against cheap bastard friends.
Just out of curiosity, who do you use? My favorite 3 right now are Xiouyu, Raven and Heihachi.

Well the thing I hate most about Tekken5 is the rediculouse amount of moves that King has. It's taken me until just a couple weeks ago to really know what to look for and how to block them out of the 160 or so my roommate knows all but a couple, The thing that really pisses me off is that even if you know what to look for and you know how to block and counter efficiently king has a number of moves that will stun your character and leave them open for an attack after the one you just blocked so you're still fucked. Another thing I hate about King is that once he get's a "grab move" on you, it can be linked with like three others that you cannot counter so there goes 75% of your life with essentially nothing you can do about it.
I use Asuka mainly and I know all of her moves and combos, I manage to kick much ass with her, and if you've ever read any of BeanDip or I's posts about my roommate being a crybaby bitch you know that now he doesn't want to play nearly as much and he now doesn't really like Tekken, because he doesn't win every single match.
Characters I use:
Lei
Asuka
Bruce
Bryan
Jin
Steve Fox
Characters I absolutely despise:
King
Jack-2,5,gun jack whatever I've always hated him
most of the girls excluding Nina/Anna and Asuka.
END RANT!!

I agree that King is a bastard. It's almost like the developers want to reward a person who has the time and patience to master him, because he's damn near unbeatable in the hands of a really skilled player. There is a lot of nuance to his character that is just ripe for ass kickage. I've never had the patience to learn his move set (hell I don't even know all the moves for the guys I use Paul and Brian), but it is impressive to see someone else who knows how to work him. He reminds me of Zangief<sp?> in that regard. He's big and clunky (though King is still usuable by an unskilled player) but once you can pull of those massive power drivers and suplexes like nothing...its over.

Man, the more I see people posting here, the more I wish this was online. I'd love to go up against some of you online to test my skills and learn a few things. Maybe even use King to piss some of you off

It would have been cool if this game was online though. I would have loved to be a part of a dvdtalk tourney.
