i was just listening to the beach. t4 had my favorite OST since t2.

Tekken 2 will always have the best soundtrack. Like EVERY song on there is good and some are just TOO GOOD like Yoshimitsu's stage and Kazuya's stage and don't even get me started on the end credits music. I could listen to that all day.

Other than Tekken 2 my favorite soundtrack is Tekken Tag. Tekken 4 is my 3rd favorite. A lot of people I know hate the Tekken Tag soundtrack and a lot of people I know love it to death so I guess it's hit or miss. Personally, I love it. IMO one of the best fighting game tracks of all time is Ogre/True Ogre's stage music from Tekken Tag. Even people who hate tekken to death tell me "I hate that game but Ogre's music is dope". It just has this atmosphere about it. It really puts fighting the ogres into perspective. Both versions of it sound great too.

Arcade version:

To me Tekken's soundtracks have always been atmospheric. They give you the feeing of the stage and who you're fighting.

I played T6 at 8 on the Break and I liked it. One thing that sucked it was a buck a credit and the people that were playing it had cards and supped up characters and I was only really into it with 2 and 3. How some of those guys can play it on a PS2 pad is beyond me.

The game felt a lot like 3, and that's a good thing. I like how all of the characters are unlocked at the get go so you can go through all of them to see which one you like. Me, I just stick to Bryan. I almost won a game against one of the guys at 8 on the Break.

and Spin, there's more then 3 arcades with the game, I know a bunch in Cali have it and I think China Town Fair also has it. Not sure about Texas though. I'll have to check ArcadeFly and see.

Really? I thought that Houston, SoCal and somewhere in the Midwest had machines. Oh well maybe I'm out of the loop. When tekken 6 first came out though they had only like 2 or 3. That pissed a lot of people off, they must have beefed up the distribution when BR came out.

Austin has a machine too. It's sad I can't find it in a place like Dave & Busters, let alone Putt Putt. *sigh* I miss my arcades.

There cant be a Tekken thread without me in it. Yah, Spin may have had one of the best Lees in america at the time....but he just wanted to be ME lol. I was big in the nationwide tournament scene around that time. The mere mention of my crew coming to a tournament was enough to settle the placing haha. Just joking. But on the real me and the rest of the NC crew were no slouches....we even made it to nationals to play. I tried to stick with it through 5 but 5.0 Steve and Nina ruined it for me. Then the updates came, and by the time DR hit I had started "real life".

Needless to say I am ALL OVER 6 when it comes out. I actually owned the 6.0 arcade machine for awhile. I am definitely up for teaching anybody new to the series how to play if they would like. My SN is thatdemoguy but the name you all need to remember is SilentSymphony :lolz:

Also here is a little preview of the OST for those who want to get a feel for the music in this game. Not my favorite OST from the series, but it has some amazing tracks. Most notably Gargoyle's Perch and Fallen Capitol.

EDIT: Spin hit it on the money as far as good Tekken tracks. BOTH versions of the TTT Ogre music were awesome. I personally prefer the arcade one though. My fav Tekken OST go in this order. T3, TTT, T4 (ARENA STAGE FTW), T2, T5.

Oh Snap, my boy O. You and I still haven't played but I'm sure we can change that now that I've moved to America and the lag won't be as horrible as when I lived in Germany.

By the way have you guys seen the new Tekken 6 commercial "Motivation". It moved me. I'm ready for Tekken more than ever

by the way thanks for that link to the soundtrack. After listening to the whole thing I felt like I had gone through a journey LOL and for once I liked the end credits music again. The last couple of Tekkens had weak end credits songs. There are a couple of poo poo songs on this soundtrack namely Hidden Retreat. "Noh Theater" and "Urban Warzone" are boring and generic, "City after dark" and "Cemetary" are just cheesy rock songs.

Nope we havent had a chance to play yet. But I will be on BOTH networks when T6 drops so I wont be hard to find. And I personally hate a Feng Wei, so the rivalry is set.

EDIT: That new trailer has got me ready to play it like a champion NOW!!!!

So you hate Feng Wei? Then who is your guy, please don't tell me it's Raven either.

I'm not really any good at any of them (or most 3D fighters in general), but I am looking forward to T6. Didn't think much much of T5/DR's soundtrack for the most part, but I'd say two tracks in particular stood out in respect to the rest of the series.

Those are definitely some of the best tracks.

My faves from that soundtrack are

2heed, that is a dope track. One of my fav's, shit that whole soundtrack is basically my fav LOL.

@O. Good shit. I dropped Kazuya in favor of Feng but I still rock Lee, he's still my best character as well. My secondary characters are Baek, Steve, Armor King, Hwoarang, Paul and I'm learning Dragunov(that guy is fuckin cool).

I thought the coolest new grappler was Goh from VF, but Dragunov came along and they went neck and neck. I'm sure in the future they'll end up being my mains.

The stuff you get in the limited edition package. I'd rather not have that Lars poster. I think he looks completely ridiculous. Who the fuck has hair like that? Has Falcoon been helping Namco design characters or what?

I rather enjoyed the music in T4-TDR personally.

I enjoy the series but can't play it for crap (I only play on easy and even then completing the games on that setting without continues is a challenge for me.).

While not omfg excited, I'll grab a copy of T6 when it hits (Should have a PS3 by then now that the price's dropped some.).

More interested in this then SF4 (Any version.).

Man, Lars is the shit! He looks goofy in the super hero outfit in his alternate outfit, he looks like a bad ass and he fights like one too! :D I'm looking forward to using him! Him, Asuka, and Alisa!

He does fight like a badass and his 2nd player costume ain't too bad but come on Maury, that hair? I mean really that hair is NOT COOL at all. Totally overdone anime hair fit for a Final Fantasy character. Yes I know the Mishima's hair all sticks up because of the electricity in their bodies but he just looks too goofy.

Whats up with this limited edition? The only one I know of is the version that comes with the fightstick, which I dont want. Now I will buy this one if I can be pointed in the direction of it.

BTW: Lee doesnt just LOOK strong, he is quite strong. Ive played T6 and I can say this some of the tools that he needed, he got. Yes they took away the best 8frame punish in the game by making 10frame the standard, but he gained tools like a sidestep MID launcher, a 1,2, low on top of his 1,2, mid, multiple juggle enders, plenty of bound moves, and retaining some of the best wall carry in the game.

I really don't know much about that limited edition actually. I saw it and posted it.

As far as Lee goes, thank you for telling me this. You made my day. Now I know I'll be "that dude" again when I play Lee. Ever since tekken 5 hit the market I've been the punchin dummy. I started to get decent at it recently which is worthless. I really have a feeling that I'm gonna be a bastard just like the Tekken 4 days.

I got my pre-order for the X360 version paid off and ready to go, but I was hoping that I'd get the Mad Catz MVC2 stick by then. The stick was delayed into mid-November, so that's not gonna happen. :mad:

At least Forza Motorsport 3 comes out on the same day... :buttrock:

It seems there's an explanation for the hair in this article. Turns out he's the bastard child of Heihachi! Those Mishima's have crazy hair indeed. :mr_t:
