thats soo lame!

 

 

although i still like the memory card thingy because i wanna customize some clothes here!!!

[SpyderX]

i dream this up when i was a kid... because i was never good with the stick but now i am and now they decide to bring this out.

[Wizard]

This is bull imo. Removes the true arcade experience of whining and bitching.

[Ryuken]

i think the controler port is made just so more home user will play at da arcade instead of waiting for the game to come out

Nah, it will still be there. Except now it will be the people who thought they were bad asses at the arcade getting their asses handed to them by kids with controllers. Just watch, this is exactly what will happen. Most people aren't all that great with sticks because they don't spends hordes of time in arcades. So those that are good with sticks tend to think they are better than they actually are. I can't even count the number of times I've watched someone at an arcade whipping people and been thinking to myself, "I could easily beat this guy with a controller".

Well of course. You can practice all day long on your console and that guy can't cause he has to spend money to play it.

 

I still say controller people shouldn't be allowed to go into arcades though because the reigning champs might get defeated by controller ppl and thats not really fair for the arcade people. Meh We'll see how this thing goes.

[BIGWORM]

I think this arises new competition, but unfortunately, there's not a lot of it here where I live.

[Gryph]

But most guys that are good with arcade sticks are good with controllers...people can be good at both, not just one.

[i l l m a t i c]

theres advantages and disadvantages for both pad and joysticks...I dont think it wouldn't matter

[Thraxen]

I think the competition could be good for the arcades. Let's face it, arcades are all but dead in many places now. But something like this might get more people into the arcades to try out their skills against human opponents.

Thraxen is right. In fact, the hardcore fanboys should quit whining because Tekken was never considered the pinnacle of twitch-skill fighters. Tekken is more of a casual fighting game (if such a thing is possible). I could understand the complaints if Street Fighter 3: Quadruple Damage came with a pad, but with Tekken anything that's good for arcades is good in my book.

Imo, people get a little too attached to their fighting games. They spend forever analyzing the characters and making tier lists and whatnot. It's insane.

Thraxen does have a good point here. If it turns out to be anything but an especially nerdy oddity, it will probably have a positive effect on arcade business. I'm curious if it will have any effect on home sales, like if would-be home buyers will burn themselves out on it playing it in the arcades or anything. And Tekken 3 got pretty hardcore in my area. When it came out there was always a decent sized crowd of guys who knew all the 10-hit dial-a-combos standing around it.

 

As for the customization stuff.. It's obvious someone at Namco played Virtua Fighter 4 in a Japanese arcade. The feature set is practically identical.

[Wizard]

Down with controller marcos.

 

Really, if i'm at an arcade, I prefer to use a stick. Using a controller? I mean come on. Thats just wrong on every leaving home without anything but cash standard.

[Gryph]

The stick is what makes an arcade and arcade.
