The mysterious project “J vs B” has been revealed! @tekkenbob got together with arguably the current best TEKKEN 6 player in the US, Jimmy “MrNAPS” Tran and seasoned veteran, the TEKKEN 4 and TEKKEN 5 National Champion… Bronson “insanelee” Tran to capture a series of match videos just for the TEKKEN fans! But the action doesn’t stop there! Click below to view the matches and for more information on how you can get involved with the rematch!
Two of the United States’ greatest TEKKEN players both reside near Namco Bandai Games Inc. headquarters in Northern California. Luckily, tekkenbob was able to get both of these powerhouses in the same room to film some epic matches between Bronson’s Bruce Irvin and Jimmy’s Bryan Fury! Now for a little background on both of our players… In this corner…
Representing TEKKEN ZAIBATSU, Jimmy “MrNAPS” Tran is known all over the world as one of the best Bryan players in TEKKEN 5 and now TEKKEN 6. A representative of the United States in Super Battle Opera/Tougeki, MrNAPS is no stranger to high level play. He is one of the few people to beat Korea’s qudans in tournament play and has consistently placed high in many of the major tournaments he has participated in.
With his masterful use of the taunt, MrNAPS is one of the few players in the world who can use Bryan to his full potential.
Representing SDTEKKEN, Bronson “insanelee” Tran has proven to be the most consistent TEKKEN player since the dawn of the console era (post TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT). Also a representatvie of the United States in Super Battle Opera/Tougeki, insanelee has won countless tournaments. He is the only competitive player to win back to back Namco championships with both the TEKKEN 4 and TEKKEN 5 North American Championship Title, can he do it again for TEKKEN 6?
Bronson uses a variety of characters in TEKKEN 6, but he stays true to his TEKKEN 5 guns and brings the pain with both Ganryu and Julia Chang.
Without further ado, here are the matches that were recorded by tekkenbob on that fateful day! Click the links to watch them in high quality! Make sure you vote on the rematch details after you’re done watching the videos (see below) !

SDTEKKEN.COM - TEKKEN News Resource! 
Voted for Yoshi.
Mr. Naps wasnt really trying, Compare this vid to his fight with MDJ , and you can tell the diffrence.
THIS FIGHT WAS FIXED !!!! :P
anyway im going to class.
Of course he wasn’t really trying, there was nothing on the line other than the matches being posted on youtube.
That said, they were great matches. Rooting for SDT all the way. :)
OMG MR naps is crazy
very sneaky sdt.
Awesome… I’m liking the poll format =) Great vids! I’m happy to see that the wait for console version isn’t boring and dreadful with all these goodies get’n added! Thanks
mr naps is gay wait for knee
Sorry, FYI, knee is still finishing up his service in the Korean military. He won’t be back, so as it stands now, MrNAPS along with Buriburimaru and a few other Bryan players. It’s the best you’re going to get (which is very good!).
FORGET YOU MAN!! 360fanboy!!
Vote for girls!
I want to see them both playing my fav character, Panda…
I voted for Lili!
Yeah, this feels more like a casual match than anything else. Also, what’s up with 2 rounds instead of 3?
Still cool though. I voted for King heh.
Ganryu!
I voted for one of his characters he actaully knows how to use. Julia.
It would be awesome if it was announced that these videos were uploaded through Tekken 6 onto youtube. I heard Harada saying that he was thinking about adding a feature of putting direct video captures of matches on the net.
Now if these matches were uploaded using this method then this game is going to be the best selling fighting game ever. Because everyone and their momma loves them some Youtube self glory.
Oh yes! That would be crazy. I hope they’ll do it.
i’ll wait for the day when Knee returns.
@SolRahlX I doubt they were uploaded to Youtube directly. There’s no mention of their names in the matches, so how would Youtube know who they are? :P
Maybe it’s just in the testing phase… or maybe they just did regular versus. I don’t know! Don’t ruin my dreams!!!!
im with you on that that would be the shits.
there were a couple of times where i went into a ranked room and had about 20 wins or more. i would have loved to upload that to youtube.
Wow, I’m surprised Julia’s in the lead. Go Julia!
Wait…
They both have the surname “Tran”?
…and they’re both great at Tekken?
.
.
.
Must be a momma thing.
@GK AFAIK, Julia and Ganryu are some of his mains.
Errr, that was meant to be @juliafanam.
So, does this have anything to do with a match upload feature in the console of Tekken or is it unrelated?
voted for leo
Why vote for people that the Bronson doesn’t main? Don’t you guys want to see some beastly matches?
…or see a hilarious match where they use characters none of them know :P
Voted Ling Xiaoyu for both. I want to see them use a character that takes more brains to win. Not being able to say, “I just threw stuff out”, as MrNaps said in his interview after winning Devastation 2009 with Bryan Fury. :P
Kinda doubt that there will be any high level matches on disc or any match recording feature. Pretty sure that along with being able to see joystick and buttons on screen was patented by Sega.
I voted for Ling, too. For the same reason. lol
but I have to disagree with the Devastation comment. He was ducking MDJ’s lfs d+3,4_rfs d+4,3 whenever he got hit with the weak low and punished with something that got him more damage. He was smart, even though he said he just threw stuff, he knew what he was doing. He threw out the right stuff.
I voted for RAVEN and LEO
Vote for Nina, please
Panda plz
Insanelee is good with Ganryu and Julia right? Seeing that I hate Ganryu and I use Julia VenoM362 votes Julia.
Julia vs Bryan
I like to see matches with characters I use myself.
Really, whats the point the choose the characters they choose for a reason. They are high level with those characters, others not so much maybe.
But anyway.
Kazuya vs Jin/Devil jin or heihachi please.
i voted for lars
yeah boy! lars :P
Perhaps this is leading upto in-game recording. :D
He should choose whatever he want,he is just an Ok player, wtf, so all this hype was for those matches? lol
Go watch the devastation Maddogjin and Mr. Naps fight.
Superyan was Cute man ! too bad she wasnt at EVO.
I’m talking about the other guy dude… Mr naps is good.
whats up with this two round crap? i wanna see some bad ass king vs armor king fights
id rather see a.k … i dont use a.k much… but the way he is now! damn!… id love to learn a.k right now
Top vote getters are Ganryu, Julia (no surprise there), Nina, Jin, Lars, and Lee. Interesting.
I myself voted for Lee.
I vote for nina or baek.
I vote for ninna
Fuck man i get to sit here and watch these assholes have fun.
while i on the other hand have to wait 2 freaking months to play it.
This is the Ultimate fucking tease.
OH ya hey Markman do you think i should get the GUIDE, i know the entire move set is going to be availble in the game, but what about the secret stuff.
Like i know some characters can do thing with thier joke weapons normally not listed. so what do you think ??
Well perhaps if you were WELL-KNOWN and an awesome Tekken player, perhaps it would have been you playing. Hahahaha.
^Epic Fail.
Nah not really.
I love tekken to death, but i need to get my career man, so most of the time i play it hardcore when im only taking a couplre of classes in college.
But after December , im gonna have a whole year of just hanging out. Im gonna dedicate that entire year to tekken. none stop.
already got my line-up
Raven – Jin- Lars – Kaz – Dragunov _ Feng – LEo – Zafina – Asuka – Howarang.
Blind Ghost you have good taste in the characters you use. I myself use those characters (Gonna learn Lars,Leo,Zafina, and maybe Law and Miguel). That will make my Tekken crew 23 deep. My main two are Raven and Hwoarang.
you use a lot the both of you ghost and venom!… damn!
i only focused on lars and law
its a shame only 2 people in my arcade including me know how to actually use lars.. huhuhu!
law on the other hand… been using him since tk2..
i stopped using drag because i ended messing up with him after i used miguel..
kaz.. ahahahaha when im bored and want to downgrade… i use kaz only tk5dr HEEHEE!
God no…..
FYI that is a guy. That is insulting to Nina/Anna fans.
W.T.F. ??
i wanted to see her do a back flip :( (julia)
NINA!!!
I voted for Nina.
GO NINA! GO!
But youll see me online when it comes out.
supposedly GAMESTOP is having a tourney, i might join.
But from What i hear thier tournaments suck ass.
they will probably end up doing it on an 360 D-PAD, fuck that. thats thing is shit.
Kind of strange that Nina shot up 100 votes almost instantly. Why the fuck do people like to cheat on these things.
oooooooooooooooook what’s up with the girl in the video must really love tekken that’s good to know.
Yeaah…..That my friend is a man in drag. Not again with this LOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!
yeah i was a main Jin User in T4, but 5 they nerfed him donw big time, to me honestly he was unplayable in 5, , cause i played wiht him for a while online.
and he just didnt have the edge he did in 4.
but with T6 Jin is back, to me he’s S rank again. and i cant wait to use him again.
lol…thats a dude in the vedio
hahahahahahah omg LOL. man i dont wanna know u type of chick.
The only thing I dnt like about the console version is the health bar! Why is it so close down to the fighters head? Well anyways I voted raven.
what!!!! dzz are Tekken best in the USA i can beat em that for sure lol lol i voted for Feng Wei
man i wuld kill for ome high def RAVEN MATCHES on youtube. everything that i find is wanna be HD
i cheaked all console version in youtube the health bar is so close to fighter head if it was marduk playing his head will pass the health bar lol
Insanelee plays a very defensive almost atlanta style of play. But honestly I think NYC FAB and Fighting GM can beat these guys down and soon you guys will see that as well once they meet. They just don’t leave NY as much. And about raven your not gonna see that much of them because it takes a lot more work to be a top raven player than the other characters save for the bears zafina and yoshi which all were not balanced well with everyone else. So most people pick the easier boring route like the lili’s and the alisa’s and the Paul’s to spam.
True, the majority i see online in Dr is
Williams sisters , Paul, Brian , Eddy , STEVE, HWARANG, JULIA , LILI.
They only pick those because of the Combo potential.
Dont care though, The reason I play tekken because its the most Balanced fighter out there, if your good enough with your character you can win Againt anyone. you just need a lot of practice.
And for me Its Raven, But you know since a lot of people Dont play The other characters as much thats actually a Plus, because they dont know thier game very well. so they tend to do poorly agaisnt Those characters.
like zafina… i got owned yesterday! i used law.. i knew nothing about zafina and got owned the 1st time
Yes Raven can be very tricky lol,but i do well against him.
Watch out for me in T6.
Bleh, jin is fine in t5, it’s just that in t4 he was broken….
no way, i was a dedicated Jin Player in 4 in 5 he got nerfed bad all his sweeps got nerfed
Wow, Nina??? Lol Nina vs Zafina will be hilarious.
i voted for law since he is my friend and best player but anyways was mr naps playig for real because ive seen him play better than this especially against maddogjin
i meant to say favorite idk why the hell is said friend LOL
o_o hahahaha
Nina for the win!!
I knw this dnt have nothin 2 do wit the topic. But I read on Mr. Harada Blog On Ign. That there will be “Unlockable Stages” as you progress Through Scenario Campaign Mode. I might had read it wrong but can you Verify this Markman?
god i hope so, is this true MARKMAN ??
I will watch out for you Blind Ghost we will have to fight lol.
yeah we will man yes we will.
I hope its true too!! Hmm at most I hope its 4 more new stages on the console version to make it complete. Is that askin 4 too much ? Lol
Unlockable Stages in the ‘Scenario Campaign’ Mode. Not in VS Mode or anything.
I’m talkin about unlockable stages in the normal gameplay mode.. VS aka Arcade Mode
they need more wall breakable stages.. ie- temple stage
If anything , they need less Breakable Stages, they already ruined the Grave yard Stage the top looks so badass, and then they make you go undergroud which looks like shit.
i hope they have some kind of sensativity option for the breakable stages cause soem of these stages look amazing on the first floor and they look like shit below.
I think stage is sick too, then you get knocked down to that boring area.
I totaly agree with both of you on this one, if there was a stage that didnt need to be breakble its the graveyard. MARKMAN if you can telle HARADA-SAN to add a option to disable stage breaks.
if you can plz do it.
ghost thats a good idea!
then again noobs will complain for the fact that they didnt get the extra bound…
hahahah!
K when Nina jumped 100 votes it got me a bit skeptical, and now with Hwoarang jumping 100 votes, someone must be cheating this system…
It’s possible to vote more than once, so yeah.
If Harada didn’t already implement the disable stage breaks feature I think its a lil too late to redo this in the. Cause the game is probably already finished they just haven’t distributed to the world yet. Prob they just waiting on the making the Advertisement Commercials Etc.. Ugh they just need to change the Health Bar its so annoying for it to be that low to the fighters..
yeah i saw that too. but i also saw other video where it wasnt that close. so who knows.
Well maybe the ones on Youtube is the Ps3 or XBOX incomplete version of Arcade Mode.
yeah lets hope we get both option to disable stage breaks and mess wiht the life bar.
You knw what would be cool. If the stages have daylight/night time transitions depending on your system clock.. That’ll be hard as hell
that would be badass
yeah i would love that.
You never know with Tekken,you never know.
That’s true
Voted Raven again
Wow someone really looks to be cheating on the polls Hwo and Nina jumped up drastically in like 10 minutes from 10 votes to almost 200… somethin’s fishy
Anyway if you really want to see what Mr. Naps can do check this out:
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1693585
Maddogjin vs. MrNaps starts at 49 minutes
SolRahlX, I’ve been watching/monitoring the poll and they’ve had over 100+ votes for a few days now. 10 minutes ago it was the same. Nothing is fishy on my end.
Are you sure that either Hwoarang or Nina had only 10 votes around 10 minutes prior to your posting? I think you might be seeing things as I have daily reports/logs of each vote tally.
I was restating what I posted on the 26th with exaggerated details.
Nina is just really popular. Arguably the most popular Tekken character.
…Hwoarang…idkw.
I would have thought Jin Kazama…
but if its gameplay only, then yea there are plenty of nina gamers out there
@Blind Ghost
Superyan, HHHNNGGGG..
Knee will be back in maybe nexmonth ,or 2 more month,prepare to be pawn :D
How come you guys are just doing Best of 2?
stop picking me :D
i just watched the vids again..
i only noticed now that the life bars are THAT CLOSE
needs fixing… hmmm…
Looks like Nina (bronson) vs. Lars (Naps) for the rematch
