Okay, so,
Tekken 6 arrived yesterday! :D
I wouldn't say I've done a lot on it so far - I'm currently playing around with Scenario Mode, and I've currently completed Arcade Mode with (naturally) Nina, Lili, and Dragunov. Oh, and I've also tried out all the newbies in Practise.
So far, my (very brief) impressions of the new characters:
- Alisa: She's cute, and I really am digging her fighting style. It's definitely unique. It's taking a little bit of getting used to, but I find her easier to play as than, say, Lars. The fact that she speaks Japanese in spite of her being Russian befuddles me, though.
- Bob: I was pleasantly surprised by his style - it's certainly a lot more fun than I expected. He still reminds me of Fat Gaz from
Two Pints, though.
- Lars: I like his style a lot more than I thought I would, although I'm not that good with him at the moment. I like his hair.
- Leo: Still not sure if s/he's supposed to be male or female. Ah well, s/he's cute, either way. His/her style is very much like that of Helena from
Dead Or Alive - probably the same style, to be honest. I haven't played as him/her much yet, but I probably will be very soon.
- Miguel: Not played as him much, either, but I like his more "brawling" approach to fighting. His stance is very... different, too.
- Zafina: Woah, sexy lady alert. Really cool fighting style, but not easy to learn. Very unpredictable. That, along with her... flexibility, shall we say... reminds me of Voldo from the
Soul series.
On the down side: I hate Azazel. I repeat: I.
HATE. AZAZEL. Oh my god. Just... ARGH. Seriously, give me Jinpachi-freaking-Mishima over him any day. Just when I thought that final bosses in fighting games couldn't get any damn cheaper, along comes Azazel, here to utterly frustrate and enrage gamers the world over.
I've gotta say, I really am getting sick of the "trend" of fighting games to include serious cheap-asses as final bosses. Now, I'm not saying that they can't be a
challenge, but could they at
least be a little fairer? I mean, come on!
*/whiny rant*
Playing as Dragunov in one level of Scenario Mode made me LOL, though, when Alisa says something like "Oh, you must be lacking a speech module". XD
Right, time to get back to it. Cheerio.
