How come Tekken threads always die so quickly?

How come Tekken threads always die so quickly?

Because you dont post certified waifus like Asuka or Lili in the OP, OP

>not alisa
now i see why

Shit game

Not nearly as good as melee.

this desu senpai

Why won't they put out vf5 on the computers

Because the game isn't out.

>dead game goes to platform notorious for dead fighting game population

What's it like for DOA fans to have zero relevant male characters in their series?

Hayabusa is popular, I guess

>playing tekken past 3
lmao

I've been trying to get into TT2 for a few months but just can't settle on a character

hhhhhrrrrhhhuHHHHHRUUUUUUHRRHHM!!!!!!!!!

someone post the eddy comic

...

because it will be dead. Normies buy injustice and mortal kombat

Heh. Tekken doesn't really have Ryu-Ken Scorpion-Sub-Zero duos. Closest would be Kazuya-Heihachi in the older games, and now maybe Jin-Kazuya or something.

>this
All my friends call me a bitch for not buying games to play with them when they drop said games in 2 weeks
>but but all videogames get boring eventually spend $60 on this with us
The rich stay rich by not spending all their money like retards.

Nothing to really talk about until 7 drops (outside of Arcades).

It's a dead series in the west.

No one even plays 3D fighters here anymore and newfags don't want to put in the work to learn 3D fighters when they've been playing 2D fighters their entire lives.

Because the new game isn't out in the West and there's not much to discuss beyond "who will you main?"

>This predictable webm

VF5 looks better and more cinematographic, but T7 requires much more execution ability. Also different level of play. There's a reason why VF5 died, even with Sega trying to revive it with FS and further iterations.

It's a dead series in the US, Europe, Asia, SA, ME, and SEA love it.

There's a reason why it has sold the most out of any fighting game franchise (Smash is a brawler, as its director said).

Fighters are just niche now. There's also nothing to really discuss.

Big words from a series that gets even less threads.

BUY JOSIE'S GAME

Sup Forums hates tekken cos they suck at it.
If you wanna discuss tekken with decent tekken players, Sup Forums should be the last place you go.

Normalfags and people with just a bit of power level love Tekken though.

I honestly play Tekken because of the Lore. It's the only fighting game I like.

Lars would look ten times cooler if he kept the cape but replaced the armor with a red turtleneck sweater and jeans. Discuss.

I haven't played Tekken since 3.
Has 7 been well received in Japland?

Yeah. It's still making mad arcade money now.

Very popular there right now, biggest game in arcades

Will be interesting to see if people make the jump from other games when it comes out. People go on about how hard it is to get into Tekken but I find that is an exaggeration

Because 3D fighters in general are incredibly boring to watch. With 2D fighters there's more room for visual flash, and it's more straightforward so it's better for spectators. With something like Tekken or VF, when it goes on screen people say "get this shit off."

Second, Tekken has been garbage for a long time. Tekken Tag was basically EWGF and extended combos. Tekken 4 had the absolute fucking stupidest wall bullshit ever, where you could get knocked into a traffic cone you don't even see and then die. Tekken 5 was horrible until DR. Tekken 6 was LITERALLY Bob Fighter because they gave Bob a safe launcher, allowed him to do 50% combos at will, added Bound which only increased the juggling in a game people mock for the juggling, and Rage kicked in at 30% and was without a doubt the worst comeback mechanic in a fighting game because you couldn't choose when to use it, whether or not to use it, there was no tactical decision making involved in it, and it was strong as fuck until BR.

Not to mention Tekken is so full of gimmick characters like a fucking vampire, Blade, Lucky Chloe, Alisa, etc. that it looks like a joke game to a lot of people. And it practically is.

Half-true post.

3D fighters are more rare than 2D fighters, since they're harder to develop, add to this that they're harder as well so there's less competition in tourneys. People don't find 3D fighters boring, they're just lacking variety and most importantly: actual games. People so far quite like the slo-mo shit they added for Tekken 7. When was the LAST 3D fighter released? Exactly. DoA is just straight ecchi porn now.

Tekken has been unbalanced forever since the first game, there's always something broken in each installment. Tekken 4 suffered less from those non-existent traffic cones you mentioned and suffered more from JFLS Jin, a move that EWGF cannot come close to (or at least a high hitting EWGF). Tag 2 was pretty balanced, but yeah, combos were tad too much.

There are no gimmick characters in Tekken, that is where you are wrong. Gimmick =/= weird appearance.

Tekkenfag, please. Do you know how dumb and unaware the average fighting game watcher is? People who watch stuff like SF and Blazblue and Moron Kombat find Tekken and VF boring because they don't understand the technical aspects of the games, the decisions going on behind each movement at every time. To them it's just homosexual wavedashing and spamming pokes. You yourself practically admit this because they love the "slo-mo shit" in T7. That stuff is to make the games more visually impressive to retards.

It isn't about how many 3D fighters there are, it's that 3D fighters are inherently more difficult for casual spectators to understand the high-level workings of, so they get bored.

Also, stuff like Devil Jin and Alisa aren't gimmicky? Come on. That shit is as stupid as Oni in SF4 or that DOA sexy tengu.

Not a Tekkenfag, I'm a GGfag if anything. Remember, the same can be said about shit like LoL or DoTA2 where people have no idea what is going on yet still like it because it's HYPE.

Also, Devil Jin is considered a top tier Mishima style character, there's no fucking way he's a gimmick. He's a more offensive version of Kazuya that isn't lacking good mid pokes. As for Alisa, she just sucks shit via frame data.

Anyone who watches fighters is somewhat interested in the genre and can tell what's happening. It's just that 3D fighters aren't as popular, simple.

They look gimmicky. They are silly looking.

Also no, they cannot tell what's happening. Look at all the people who think 3S is the greatest fighting game ever because of muh evo moment 37 or whatever the fuck. People are stupid. I really don't give a shit about other games like LoL or DoTA where retards are just wowed by the pretty colors and the hype. That's faggotry and has no place in fighting games. Hype is meaningless if people don't understand WHY it's hype. That lack of understanding is why people don't find 3D fighters fun to watch.

Hayate and Hayabusa are two of the most notable characters, and this is before they even reveal Zack as the C.E.O. of MIST

>two of the most notable characters
Hayabusa is only notable cause of his own games. Hayate isn't at all. Go into any thread or look up about the game and it is all boobs boobs boobs

I don't think I've seen a male posted in the DoA threads in years

DOA threads are literally just people swapping erotic screenshots and webms. Maybe some cropped porn, but DOA is already so sexual there's practically no need. That's it. Nobody cares about the actual game.

Doa threads yeah, but if you want to actually talk about the games the threads are probably the last place you should visit.

>but if you want to actually talk about the games
This never happens anyway though. If you are in it for the gameplay there are better games that are less or as dead

DoA is a platform to sell virtual lingerie now
