He might as well wheel himself in!
:D
Is this definitely coming to 360?
Oh well, it'll be a blast to play so in the end it's awesome :)
the graphics do look a bit hit and miss though.
Not that it matters, Tekken was never up to much anyway. VF5 beats it in every way.
I really want a new Dead or Alive for the 360.. anybody with any sense about them knows that beat'em ups dont come much better than that series.
Bleached: Really? You want more depth and you think DoA has it? Sounds like a freaking paradox to me.
And yeah I agree about stick being essential, but I just don't see anyone forking out for one when the options are as limited and costly as they are on the 360. On the PS3 you can get a ps2->ps3 thingy and use the old reliable Namco PSX stick (still going strong two generations later) whereas on the 360 you'll have to bite the bullet and import some rediculously expensive Hori business.
And it's not the same team making Tekken and SC.

They need to get some of those SC people to touch up the graphics before the home console release of T6 if that is so. There's still time to improve on the arcade version.
I don't like Tekken. Characters move too slowly and combos are too long.
It really pisses me off seeing myself flying through the air, kicked and punched by some Eddy-combo in slow-mo without beeing able to guard or counter...
