The Shrine

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I was disappointed with Tekken 4, and now Tekken 5 is coming.....*shrug* I hope they can make that game great again, Soul Caliber 2 holds the crown for now.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>What was wrong with Tekken 4? They actually properly balanced the game for once. It was like trimming down the fat and leaving only a good quality steak.</div>

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>I don't know about it personally, but I trust my friend's judgement, and he said Tekken 4 was completely unbalanced in favor of Jin.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>My reasoning is that the gameplay improvements seem relativly minor. It is easier to do throws in part 2 with the gamecubes controller, but that is about it. They made my favourite characters less fun to play. Another thing is that I liked the music in the original better than the second one. The weapons master mode is a bit more evolved than the mission mode, but I still find the mission mode to be more fun, I don't like travelling through dungeons and fighting 60 similar characters in a row.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>I have been playing 5 in arcades. Great character selection and the gameplay is vastly improved from 4. I am really liking it so far.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>What are you talking about balenced?!? Tekken 4 pretty much came down to play Jin or lose. The balence was disgustingly bad.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I think Soul Calibur is better than SC2. Aside from American voices and Talim SC2 didn't add anything, and SC1 had better stages/music</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I prefer SC2. Less overlap of characters.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Personally Tekken Tag (for all that it's close to six years old) and Soul Calibur II run about neck and neck for me in terms of "best fighters so far". I mean SCII is great...but Tekken Tag is still incredibly balanced and strategic, and the tag system is amazing.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I dunno, the tag system would have been better if you didn't lose when one of your fighters was dead, and the other still had a full freakin life bar.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>I kind of saw that as part of the fun. Keeps you on your toes.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Not when your opponent is king and he's doing the freakin chain throws on you!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>lol. you can get out of those. each one has an escape sequence in the first few frames (like lp+rp or lp+lk). they're all different though.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Wow...you suck. Not only can you break out of chain throws, you can see them a mile away and duck/punish.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I loved the chickens. A few people actually got into the habit of buffering chickens to counterattack counters on moves that are obvious for counters.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>It's part of the strategy. The game is not supposed to tag for you. If you're not tagging properly, then yes, you'll lose.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>It's been a while since I'd played it in the arcade. I was playing it with some arcade friends when it first came out, and though Jin was good, players like Kazuya and Julia still kicked some ass. Even if Jin may have been unbalanced, I seriously doubt its as bad as you make it out to be.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Ya face sucks.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>You don't consider the fact that 90% of high level tournament players play Jin, and that those that dont almost never make it through the first round, as proof enough?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>No, I didn't consider it because I didn't know it. My local arcades died before then. But, I guess that's pretty good evidence. Kazuya was way overpowered in Tekken 2, and don't get me started on MvC2 (or Marvel vs Characters-That-Suck).</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I'm just saying...when you see the bobbing motion, duck. If the King player actually uses The Kirk (that double-fisted move), one, he's already a good player, and two, switch from ducking to hitting left punch.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah but nobody is gonna argue with you that MvsC2 isn't balanced. lol</div>
