Tekken 4

Tekken 4. It's not that it was bad, it's just that the improvements were based on glam and bling....nothing substantial.

And what the hell were they thinking turning the uber cool fight stylings of jin into a jumpsuit wearing mr. miyagi?!! i'm sorry but jin was fine the way he was thank you.

also a number of the new charcters are wholly unbalanced (which with namco in charge here -is inexcusably bad programming). also the game appears slightly slower than tekken 3 and tag tourney. How on earth is that possible?!

To compound matters, while Tekken appears to be standing still in this incarnation Soul Calibur 2 came out and completely eclipsed it. This just adds insult to injury. Tekken 4 is a decent fighting game, but --no one-- has to settle for decent anymore. If a fighter is not stellar, it will be forgotten.

Bottom line is; times have changed and it's time for tekken to innovate or move out of the way.
