rain owned!
but hankuma owns both of them..
Wow! Great job! Congrats on the 2nd place Markman!
Thanks! I have to thank my team for carrying me all that way.
Good job marky.
When Rain wins nobody makes a sound… And when Kane wins everybody celebrate… Of course all of you was in the USA side, but i think Rain as a “guest” deserves a better treatment… I’m glad that Rain kick his ass.
Think about it. This is an American tournament. Even if Rain is a guest, Kane has his friends there/his peers that will cheer him on (have cheered him on).
We (Americans) have pride and of course we want to win. That’s just the nature of things and it has always been that way for fighting game competitions. lol.
How did people know this was Slips?
because he had just played and his controller was still turned on.
fuk americans they just fukin fat bastards they dont like us asians that come from asia pakistan korea japan china india, americans dont like us and tongbal love doesnt need a shitty sf4 faggart stick he spends his time at green arcade you should of atleast give him a tekken 6 stick you dumb american fuks thats all you americans do is shag sf pure fuk all ya’ll stupid cunts!
Thank you. Goodbye.
……That dude just got banned huh?
LOL!!!
Oh yeah MarkMan how can I change my avatar? VenoM362 don’t like this green dude, he looks suspicious. Looks like he is thinking “Oh shit, they saw what I just did. I better walk away slowly.” VenoM362 wants an avatar of his choice.
ROFLMFAO!!
@mundo have u heard about facial recognition?
Hey MARKMAN will you be at final round just asking. I heard that KNEE might be there i don’t know though.
cool hair marky.
FUCK TEKKEN
markman you’re hardly posting anything up anymore besides the new sticks you just posted… thats beneficial to us tekken community
Well, times are tough and there isn’t much new news other than tournaments.
Do you want me to start making up stuff?
…………..Yes
the news on sticks & tournament coverage..have been great..
but another episode SDTekken podcast would be even greater.. :D
btw that picture with TTT displayed on the big screen…almost made me cry…..
it’s been so long since I see this game played at tournaments.. :(
well you did say podcasts… i was excited about a joystick podcast you wanted to talk about with seimitsu and sanwa parts… if you have time maybe you and your friends can work on that?… you have a lot of experience with joysticks ranging from beginner to advance style…
This website should just become a namco bandai site.
thats weird sf4 sticks as a prize for a tekken tournament that is stupid
Yeah. . .I hate SFIV
i hate sf4 no where near tekkens level
crazy skip lol well what else do u want markman to say? the game is out and people are playing tekken 6 and the updates are done, beside tournaments and arcade sticks is threre anything else to talk about?( eventhoug i myself am a pad player)
well there are some I guess:
– tutorials
– player interviews
– updates on movelists, frame datas, FAQs, etc
– podcasts
– and many more..
and fortunately SDTekken has been doing that for years….but it just hasn’t posted stuff besides sticks & tournament coverages..in a short while.
dude markman already posted that there was asian magazine guide for tekken 6 that talked about all of the thing u mentioned , andthat u can order on play asia i dont remember the exact post, plus step up ur game talk about tekken moves from beginners all the way pro step by step and yes mark man interviewed many tekken 6 player such as quadan, takyama and so on… and got their opponion about tekken 6 , and if u missed all of that well its not his fault now is it?
I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you were trying to say..
Because my point was..I just wanted to them to
do new interviews, new tutorials, new podcats, etc. :)
new tutorial? whats wrong with already existing tutorials?
Nothing’s wrong with them. They’re great..
But I just want to see SDTekken make one…or at least highlight..err I mean show ones that already exist, to ppl here.
e.g you make great tutorial on DCK cancel…but no-one’s viewing..because ppl don’t know.. Then when SDTekken post your link..more ppl see your tutorial, and more ppl learn DCK canceling.
So, my main point is there are stuff to write..even after the game and its patches have been released.
and SDTekken did write a lof stuff besides tourneys & sticks.
But the in the last few weeks..they haven’t.IIRC
Anyways, I guess they’re busy with school/work….and translating & do corrections on the frame datas, and probably a lot more.
So, I’ll just wait…and look forward their next article. :)
So wait, the winners get SFIV arcade sticks? No money, no cash, not even a schalorship or something useful to everyday life?
What a waste.
There was money involved, obviously. As with most tournaments there was the pot split (70/20/10) along with other prizes.
Good! At least you’re not wasting your time.
Y’know those vids where you see Koreans play Tekken along with the Korean model women cheering the players on.
I care very little about the players and the tactics they use for each character. My question is, do any of the models play Tekken?
Finding a girl (especially, an attractive one) playing Tekken is like finding a needle in a haystack.
wot crap is this couldnt you not afford any tekken 6 sticks and its a tekken tournament for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great point…
how much money did rain get for winning the first place?
come on markman u should know, i am just curious
is tekken getting boring to any off you now?
No VenoM362 uses 23 people in Tekken so I’m always learning something new with someone. Right now I’m learning Law, Zanfina will be next. But there are lots of other games VenoM362 wants to pick up. Both Uncharteds, Assassion Creed 2, BioShock 2, Resident Evil 5 Gold, Dante’s Inferno,God of War 3, Final Fantasy XIII,and Super Street Fighter 4. But after I beat and grow tried of those games I will come back to Tekken, for Tekken is timeless to me.
But seriously VenoM362 gonna have to start robbing suckas to get all these games.
I’m just saying…Like my Law’s shirt says “GIVE ME MONEY”
lucky you… at least youre not getting bored of it…
tekken is getting zzz for me… old school games are taking over for me… like PS games…
yea crazy skip you are so right the game is getting extremely boring for me and im actually a huge tekken fan
most of my best players are already brawler and up i found playing rank games useless i just play quick macth or set up a room
i could play with evryone but playing against these ridicously annoying players plus lag on top? meh. I got tired that it takes me 5 mns just to finally have a fight goin on
Dragunov a monster so is Law nina and lily
im not a an SFIV fan… and i just bought it because the arcade came out at our timezone…
a friend of mine told me to try it… even though he knew im not so much a fan of it… and you know what… old school xmen vs street fighter, marvel vs capcom, marvel vs street fighter, SF alpha 3 and SFIV are now what i play at home… atm im playing tekken just to see if i still got my skills…
but atm since tekken is boring me… my skills are like bleh! i dont think a patch will come out soon…… xC
VenoM362 don’t waste is time on rank, everybody is a laggy chickenshit bitch. I just use online to play with friends and hopefully find some drunk or shit talking dumb ass to fuck with.
LOL! VenoM362 was in Blind Ghost’s room last night and someone we were playing was getting bitched out by his wife for cheating on her.
Wife: “You cheating piece of shit!! Why you do this to me?”
Guy: “What did I do wrong now?”
The lover’s quarrel continues for a couple fights,then when its his turn again in the middle of the fight they both start yelling and he pulls the plug. Man, Tekken online is great ain’t it?
I’m just saying…
venomM362, ur avatar looks very suspicious, tell me which spy agency are u working for?
Tekkenlover, VenoM362 feels ya. I don’t trust my avatar either. He is seriously up to something.
i am just kidding venom, i remembered u said that u dont like ur avatar
I’m suprised no one is talking about the extreme lag and input delay since the co-op patch. Anyone getting that same prob?
its always the prob… but no one bothers to bring it up… its always lag… patch is bullshit…
it lags even more in co-op with so many thugs trying to kill you.. no point in playing online… keep it offline… or better yet the arcade if you want to waste cash…
Actually the online was pretty decent after the first patch but for some reason, the co op patch made the regular online versus unplayable. It’s hell of a lot worse than opening week.
never liked scen camp or the co-op patch.. but if you need money and items we have no choice…
I wonder…is NAMCO really trying to listen to the fans because it seems to me that we are not getting a word from them. I mean are they fixing the problem are they doing another game to fix it i just need some insight to show that they care just saying.
“just saying”?
DAMNIT TCO STOP STEALING VenoM362’s LINES!!!
lol had to on that one….JUST SAYING lol.
tekken will always be the best fighting game for me i mean combo resets, ground game, wake up game, counter game, throw game,wall splats and etc what more can i ask for in a fighting game, sf is boring and repetitive.
what more can you ask for?
a better patch, a hud option, a command capture, a 2nd player cusotimzation like 5.0, no rank cap offline… everything else will stay the same with new moves etc…
thats what you can ask for… the stuff we really need…
Tekken is fail
you got me wrong all that matters to me is offline mode practicing and learning new things everyday on tekken with all the characters and learning new strategies not just that so many things that can take a lifetime to learn, i dont care about online patches or wotever im going korea soon anyway to play and love tekken and to discuss hit executions anyways online mode in korea nobody even gives a toss dont know why youre getting bored of tekken you dont undrestand the fundamentals of the game.
