New trailers are pretty freggin' bad ass. Hopefully we'll get a solid release date out of them at e3.

I've played Tekken 6 BR, a lot, it is a balanced fighting game, or at least just as balanced as any other Tekken game.

Kuma, in some form, has been in every Tekken game (first two Kuma and Kuma II since then).

And he is the bomb too, Kuma fucks shit up.

Disgaree about the huge leap thing. Tekken 6 evolved from Tekken 5 much more then Tekken 5 did for Tekken 4.

Two words.
Rage, Bound.

I played it a lot yesterday again, played more with Lars, I'm in love. GUNIT why dont you play Lars if you think he looks good? He's pretty easy to play.

Its out in Aus as well. I played it yesterday. Its very similar to 6 but there are some small difference that make a big difference, if that makes sense. You kinda need to play it to understand.

And also.
Lars. Is. The. BOMB.

By the way, I forgot to mention that in Tekken 6, walls are much much stickier, for example with Lee, his pre bound combo is six hits long...SIX

Six wall hits is impossible in DR but its pretty common in Tekken 6.

Well, if money isn't a problem then I'd say go for the Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition Stick. As I said, its expensive as fuck, but it looks like such a great stick. I would definitely get it if I could afford it.

And yeah, juggling is substantially longer in Tekken 6 because of two things:
Bound and walls. Bound is when you do a certain move during a juggle and they'll land on the ground in a position that'll let you continue the juggle, for example with Lee, his staple juggle in Tekken 5 DR was launcher, 1,2f , 1,2,f, 1,2f, 3,4
Now its launcher, 1,2f 1,2f, f4,3 B! f+2,1 (f4,3 and f2,1 are both new moves by the way).

Also that glowy thing is called rage, when your opponent has less than 5 percent health they go into rage mode, wherein their attacks do about 30% more damage. But rage has been nerfed in Tekken 6 BR, it does less than an extra 30% now, not exactly sure how much though. As far as juggle damage being nerfed, no it hasnt in 6 but it has been nerfed in BR.

But what helped me most in your post is your transition to arcade stick, I think I will go over to it, I have time, I'm 19, even though there aren't any Tekken 6 Arcades I know of here(Norway, Oslo).
I believe with dedication I could probaly do fine with it, I mean, I have touched one. I'm not struggling to become the best ever in my country or something absurd, but I want to have some game, so that I am a competition and not just a scrub player.

In conclusion, I'm gonna get Arcade stick, I'm gonna practice with it, I'm gonna beat all my friends, which btw I'm doing, And I'm gonna beat people online, damn the lag and the kickers! and I'm gonna get good at it! ...so any suggestions to what stick to get? Hori? Or steal my friends offical namco stick? the one I touched... or maybe just wait for the street fighter 4 one... but that's street fighter... anyways, thanks."

I personally use a stick, but it wasn't easy to transition. I first used a stick in February of last year when Tekken 6 just hit arcades. I forced myself to learn to use it, because I really didn't want to wait until god knows when Tekken 6 would come out (which we now know was a good decision, because its only hitting the PS3 in Fall). It took a while, I'll be honest. Especially because I'm a Mishima player, and doing CD's, letalone wavedashing and whatnot on the stick was impossible at first. But after some practice, eventually it just clicked and I got better and better.

As for the problems your having, I can safely say that 95% of players go through what you go through. You just need more practice. It took me a while before I could do the EWGF, I just didn't get it. Now I have no problem busting them out. I'll give you a hint though, with the EWGF, its not how fast you can do the CD motion its how small the gap is between the CD and the pressing of the 2 button (triangle button for pad players). As for the CH d/f+2 EWGF launch, thats a tricky one. For the life of me, I can't do it. I'm still working on doing 5 EWGF's (I can do 4), then I'll work on that one.

So to answer your question, I use stick and, after jumping over some hurdles, I find it much more comfortable and easier to play with. And again, don't worry about your problems, you just need to play more and they'll fix themselves.
