powered by JOOMCOOL.COM....dorrriiaaah!
(previously known as Tekken Discussion thread)The Official Tekken Club powered by JOOMCOOL.COM serves as an important hub for all the tekken players all around the world.Be it console players or Arcade players,we welcomes everyone in here.

Tekken (鉄拳) is a series of fighting games developed and published by Namco. Originally an arcade game, versions exist for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, WonderSwan, and Game Boy Advance. The story in each game in the series (with the exception of the non-canon game Tekken Tag Tournament) documents the events of the fictional martial arts tournament, The King of Iron Fist Tournament, with the game's chronological number corresponding with the current iteration of the tournament. The tournament is always hosted by a financial corporation called the "Mishima Zaibatsu", with the tournament prize generally being control of the company offered to the victor (who then is free to host the next King of Iron Fist tournament). The arcade versions are known to traditionally use PlayStation based hardware for each installment, and subsequently each arcade version was eventually made for its respective PlayStation.

Tekken 6 Newbie Guide

For this guide, the buttons will be referred to as followed:

1 = Left Punch
2 = Right Punch
3 = Left Kick
4 = Right Kick

1+2 means press both left and right punch at the same time, 3+4 means press both kicks at the same time, etc.

Movement
One of the cornerstones of any fighting game, your movements are how you get around the stage, space out your opponent, and evade attacks. Here are the basic types of movements.

Forward Dash
A movement used to close in on a opponent. Done by double tapping f (f~f). Use this to close the distance between you and your opponent when you knock them down and need to get up close. Some characters moves come out of a forward dash, so if you want to dash and jab with 1 and your character has a ff+1 move, use ff,N+1 instead of ff+1. You can also extend the range of ff+button attacks by holding the second f a bit longer (f~F+1).

Run
If your opponent is far away, pressing f,f will perform a run instead of a dash. During a run you can perform the following actions:

-Stop: Tap b to block or D to crouch.
-SS Cancel: Tap u~N or d~N.
-Stomp: Automatically done during a run on a grounded opponent after 6 steps.
-Tackle: After 11 steps this will be performed automatically on a standing or ducking opponent. Can follow up with 1,2,1,2_1,2,2,1_2,1,2,1_2,1,1,2 for mounted punches/slaps. Some characters can perform additional attacks from a tackle.
-Dive: Done by pressing 1+2 after 12 steps, the character will perform a mid-hitting dive forward that can hit grounded opponents. Cannot be performed if your character has a specific WR+1+2 attack.
-Slash Kick/Leaping Heel Kick: Done by pressing 3 after 12 steps. Males will do a Slash Kick, females will do a leaping heel kick, unless the character has a specific WR+3 attack. Can be executed instantly with f,f,f+3.
-Slide: Done by pressing 4 after 12 steps. Character slides on the ground with a low ground hitting kick. Cannot be performed if your character has an alternate WR+4 attack.
-Shoulder Ram: An unblockable shoulder attack that is automatically performed during a run after 18 steps.
There are other character specific attacks that can be performed while running, check individual character movelists for these moves.

Backdash (BD)
A common movement used for spacing, a backdash is usually used to get out of an opponents jab range and to cause their attacks to whiff. If you backdash (b~b), there are frames at the end where you cannot block. Try looking at the backdash and you'll see after the movement where the character takes a second to put his foot down and return to normal stance. The backdash can be cancelled into any direction, of into a block with ~N~B or cancelled with an attack. The most common method of backdash cancelling is d/b. This puts you right into crouch block, and from there you roll the stick from d/b to b for standing block. Note that there are still frames where you are vulnerable, but nowhere near as long as an uncancelled BD. You can cancel a BD into another BD with b~b~d/b~b and repeat with b~b~d/b~b~d/b~b and so on.

The other common way to cancle a BD is with a SS. The command for this is b~b~u_d.

Sidestep (SS)
A SS is a step to the side that can be used for spacing and for evading an opponents attack. It is performed by quickly tapping u or d. Holding u or d will result in jumping or crouching, respectively. A SS can be cancelled with f to move forward, b to block, d/b to crouch, a jump, or an attack. Some attacks can only be executed from a SS. A SS move is noted as SS+button. say you want SS then jab with 1, but your character has a SS+1 attack, you must SS then either wait for the animation to finish then jab, or SS, cancel with b_f, then go back to neutral position and hit 1.

Sidewalk (SW)
A sidewalk is similar to a sidestep only it is a continuous movement. It is much more evasive than a SS. It is performed by double tapping then holding u or d (u~U or d~D). A SW can cancel into a block (b), forward walk (f), crouch block (d/b), jump or an attack. You cannot get a SS attack from a SW unless you cancel into a SS.
Defending/Types of Attacks

One of the first thing that most players should learn in Tekken, or any other fighting game for that matter, is how to defend. All the fancy moves and combos won't be of any use to you unless you can survive the opponent's attack long enough to start your own attacks.

There are 3 types of Guard in Tekken:

Standing Guard (hold B)
This is that way that you will be blocking most attacks. By holding B you will be able to block high and mid level attacks, but will be hit by low attacks, throws, and unblockables.

Crouching Guard (hold D/B)
By holding D/B, you will be able to guard against low attacks and duck high attacks/throws, but you will be hit by mid level attacks and certain characters crouch throws. It is not recommended to duck often or without reason, as generally most launchers and heavy damaging attacks are mid.

Neutral Guard (Hold no direction, or N)
Neutral guard is essentially the same thing as high guard. If you are not hitting a direction or a button, you will be considered to be in neutral guard. However, the difference is if you are neutral guarding, many attack strings will break through your guard after the first hit, so most of the time you want to use B to guard. Some people find that using neutral guard makes it easier to punish after an attack, since they don't have to move the stick from B to a different direction to execute their attack.
In Tekken, there are varying heights/levels of attack, each with unique ways to defend against it. Most attacks you can tell just by looking what level (high, mid, or low) they hit at, but some you'll have to find out by checking the movelists. Let's look at some of the basic types of attack.

High attack
These include jabs and most characters standing kicks. High attacks can be blocked with Standing Guard, or ducked with Crouch.

Mid attack
Mid attacks can be blocked with Standing Guard, but will hit a Crouching opponent.

Low attack
Low attack will hit an opponent in Standing Guard, but will be blocked by Crouching Guard or avoided by jumping.

Throws
Throws will connect on Standing Guard opponents, but they can be ducked, or broken after the grab. Throw breaking will be discusses later in the guide. some characters have crouch throws that will grab opponent in Crouch, but will whiff against standing opponents. Generic throws for every character are performed by pressing 1+3 or 2+4. Long range throws, which also track opponent SSing, are done by pressing f+1+3 or f+2+4. Many other characters have other throws that are executed with different commands, refer to your character's movelist for these.

Special Mid
Special Mids are attacks that can be blocked with both Standing Guard and Crouching Guard. Most characters generic ducking jab (d+1 or FC+1) are special mids.

Unblockables
Unblockables are attacks that, as the name suggests, cannot be blocked. Most moves that generate a big flashy spark as the execute are unblockable. Most unblockable attacks are slow to execute and have the spark animation that gives them away.

Counterhits (CH)
A counterhit occurs when a character is hit during the startup of an attack animation. When you CH with a move, it is usually given different properties than if you would hit with it on normal hit. Sometimes a CH attack will cause a knockdown, stun, or juggle, when it would normally not on regular hit.
Misc. Defensive Techniques
There are other techniques for defending other than Guarding. These include:

Low Parry
This is a universal move accessible to every character that defends against a Low move by putting the opponent into B! state (which will be discussed later). To perform a Low parry, quickly tap d/f on the stick as soon as your opponent's Low hit would connect on you. You have a few frames where this works, but if you're too early, you will be hit, and if you are too late you will be hit. . All universal duck jabs are low parriable.

Throw Breaking
Most of the throws in Tekken are breakable, meaning, once the opponent grabs you, you have a short window of opportunity where you can break out of the grab. Generic grabs (1+3 or 2+4) are broken by pressing either 1 or 2 immediately after your opponent grabs you. You only have a few frames to do this, so you must be quick. The way to tell what button to break with is by looking at your opponent's character's hands. You will notice that during a throw, the character will either have his left arm extended (1 break), right arm extended (2 break), or both arms extended (1+2 break). This is true for all generic throws, as well as most command throws. side throws are broken depending on what side the opponent is on. If they throw from your left side, 1 break, from the right, 2 break. Back throws cannot be broken. There are some throws like King b+1+2, Asuka d/b+1+2, or Kuma's stance throw that cannot be broken, but in general you are able to break most throws. Crouch throws and ground throws have no distinct animation to tell what the break is, so it's a 50/50 guess.

Generic Tackle
A generic tackle is performed when running

Reversals/Parries
Some characters have a reversal/parry available to them. This is a technique that when timed with the opponents attack, will catch their attack and damage the opponent. Not all characters have one, and different characters have different properties to their reversal/parries. For example, Paul/Nina/Anna/Asuka's reversal (b+1+3 or b+2+4) is able to catch punches and kicks and it can be countered. King's reversal (b+2+4) catches only kicks, and is uncounterable. Bryan's parry (b+1+2) only catches punches. Jin's parry (b+1+2), instead of giving a throw-type animation, simply negates block stun. Marduk's Reversal (b+1+3 or b+2+4) puts the opponent into Mount. Some characters have attacks that have an automatic parry in them, such as Armor King's f+1+2, which parries punches in the initial animation. There are a lot of different types of reversals and parries, and most of them differ in how they work, so check your individual character section to see if your character is able to reverse or parry and how it works.

A note on the usage Reversals/Parries: The biggest problem I notice newcomers have with Reversals/Parries is that they try to use them randomly to try and catch single moves as sort of a twitch reaction. While this may work sometimes, more often than not, using a reversal like this will be either too soon or too late, and you'll end up eating the move instead of reversing it. The best way to use Reversal/Parry is when you are fairly certain an opponent will be doing a specific move when they start to fall into a pattern. Say a Law player uses 1,2 a lot, and when it hits, he does d/f+1. Instead of blocking the d/f+1, that would be a good time to use the Reversal/Parry to grab his d/f+1, since you know they will probably do it, and the frames are such that a your Reversal/Parry coincides with their attack. Another method is to set up Reversal/Parries with your own blocked moves. For example, I like to use 1,2 or d/f+1 with Armor King. Most people block these moves then try a jab or quick poke of their own. So after I gauge how they react, I start using 1,2 or d/f+1, Punch Parry to catch them. As with most things, just be sure that you don't get predictable with your Reversal/Parries in this manner or you can be punished if the opponent baits one from you and doesn't attack.

Tekken


US Release Date: November, 1995
The Scoop: As the original game was a 3D fighter, Tekken was already separated from its 2D peers and gave it a special feel. Adding to this unique flavor was the fact that each button represented a different limb of the fighter, as opposed to different attack types or strengths. Furthermore, Tekken placed the fighters in an infinite playing field, so combat was completely unrestrained.

Tekken 2
US Release Date: August, 1996
The Scoop: Tekken 2 was, admittedly, a very similar game to the original, but there were a few additions worthy of note. The most significant of those additions was the new set of combat systems, like back throws, reversals and chain-throws. The game, of course, also had a healthy boost in the visuals department and a number of special moves were tweaked for balance. Not a huge step forward for the franchise, but a notable one.

Tekken 3

US Release Date: April, 1998
The Scoop: Tekken 3 was one of the first "big improvements" in the series. It looked fantastic at the time and still looks respectable, even to this day. The visuals were really just the icing on the cake, however, as Tekken 3 introduced more than a dozen new characters to the roster.

One of the biggest gameplay changes in Tekken 3 was the ability for characters to step in and out of the background, opening up the combat even more. The game also modified jumping to make it a bit more realistic, and added a side-scrolling beat-'em-up mode called Tekken Force.

Tekken Tag Tournament
US Release Date: October, 2000
The Scoop: Tekken Tag Tournament was essentially an upgraded version of Tekken 3, though it boasted a massive roster (almost 40 characters) and included a two-person tag team system where fighters could be switched out at any time. This system opened up character-to-character chains, as you could tag in your other fighter mid-combo and cause some serious damage.

Besides the expected updates to graphics and minor gameplay tweaks, Tekken Tag Tournament added Tekken Bowl -- a bowling mini-game. Oh, those crazy developers!

Tekken 4

US Release Date: September, 2002
The Scoop: This title was, in a way, a big departure for the franchise, as it more closely followed the gameplay mechanics of the Virtua Fighter series. Fighters could interact with walls and environmental objects, move up and down stairs, etc. A new switch reversal system kept players from getting trapped in a corner and another edition of the Tekken Force beat-'em-up made an appearance. More graphical updates were also present.

Although it was a very different game than fans had come to expect, it was still an important step for the franchise.

Tekken 5
US Release Date: February, 2005
The Scoop: As one hardcore fan in the IGN office notes: "it rocks." Tekken 5 felt more like an evolution of Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag than the previous installment, Tekken 4. Tekken 5 reintroduced gamers to the infinite stages setup, as well as returning to flat environments. A "crush system" was also included, which changes the efficiency of certain move types based on what your opponent is doing.

Tekken 5 also allowed players to customize their characters, including color swaps, different outfits and more. Besides boasting a Virtua Fighter-esque ranking system, Tekken 5 also offered another Tekken Force mini-game titled "The Devil Within."

Tekken 6

US Release Date: October, 2009
The Scoop: Hotly anticipated by Tekken fans, Tekken 6 promises to be one of the finest Tekken experiences to date, with not only an impressive character roster but a number of modes that should keep players busy for quite some time. For example, another scrolling brawler campaign has returned to give players a nice distraction from the traditional one-on-one fighting, and gives hardcore gamers something to grind through and earn items.

As the first "proper" version of the series to hit current-gen consoles, Tekken 6 should be a welcome addition to the many high-quality fighters that inhabit the modern competitive gaming space.
