Like most fighting games, you hold backwards. For high and mid attacks just hold back. For low attacks hold back and down.

O ok. Im used to Soul Calibur games blocking. It seems weird pushing back nowdays. Street Fighter is the only game I played with back as block. I'll get used to it, thanks.

.......this game is utter sh!t. You can't even block half the time. Plus everyone moves like slugs.

Looks like I'm gonna take it back.

hahah yeah, Tekken isn't necessarily a fast paced fighter. I do like it though. Fights in Tekken are more about juggling though, although I'm not good at it, I usually do punchu/kick ->grab, rince and repeat :P With characters like King or Marduk you can do very long grapple combos, so that's pretty much how I win.

I have to agree Im far more into the DOA , VF or even Soul Calibur series for 3D fighters , wheres Tekken never interested me that much.

Tekken 3 is pretty good though , Tekken 5 is ok , and I will give Namco credit in the technical department.

Ya, I played it for a while last night. It is the first Tekken I have played. I hate it. lol. It has some cool game modes, but the gameplay just doesnt cut it when your compare it to other first class fighters like Soul Calibur.

actually you could try just doing nothing to block. pushing back should make you back up, not actually block. that's what i've seein in most tekken games (auto-block). I personally like Tekken more than Soul Calibur. using weapons is ok, but i prefer hand-to-hand combat.

If you don't move, they can't hit you.

Haha, just be patient, man. It's a fighting game. All fighting games kick newbies down. Happens to me all the time whenever I play something other than Tekken or Mortal Kombat. You just have to practice and have patience.
