Well, after playing Tekken 5 so many times ever since me and my roommate got it, it is just an awesome game. Yeah, it's been out in the arcades for a while, but I never played it at the time. So many familiar faces as well as some new ones.
As for fighting games, what type of fighter would people normally choose?
1. quick and agile, but not hard hitting
2. slow and heavy, but hard hitting
3. balanced
I'd go with #1. If you can hit your opponent, they can't hit back, so if you can get a lot of combos in, they won't be able to do much. That's my perspective, at least.
It's funny though how guys tend to choose the fast female fighters while girls choose the heavy hitting male fighters. You'd figure that it would be the other way around, haha.
Yup, it's #1 for me as well. As Capcom said in X-men COTA, Combo is the key. In any fighting game I would prefer the faster character with more chains/combos rather than the heavy hitting slower characters. I don't mean the bigger characters are weak in any sense, it's just a matter of personal preference and style.
