There's an old saying, "don't fix what isn't broken." I believe that applies here and anyone saying that it's the "same-old-same-old," with a negative connotation has to understand that if they made any drastic changes, would you even accept it then? What if they took out everything that made it Tekken, but still placed the Tekken title on it, would it really be worth giving credit to?
You have to understand that juggling is a part of a fighting game's design mechanics, it's in all fighting games, I would be amazed (aside from Fight Night and other boxing-like games) to be shown and or told about another fighting game that didn't apply such a mechanic.
The only negative (or rather constructive criticism) comments I have for this game are the graphics and the sound. I believe that one article on a website that the name escapes me at the moment said the music was a bit cliche and or cheesy. It is my personal opinion that the graphics aren't up to par with fighting game standards these days. Then again I haven't seen the game in person, but if we have games like VF5 and Fight Night Round 3 (heck, even Round 4), I believe Namco doesn't have an excuse with the graphics displayed here. Albeit, again, I haven't seen it in person, so I have no solid verdict on the graphics as of yet.
I will be getting this though, I am a HUGE Tekken fan and I have been trying to find my niche of fighting games on this generation of consoles, and while I have and have played DBZ: Burst Limit, VF5, SCIV, and FNR3, I haven't been able to be truly entertained by any of them. However, I have not played SF4, so we'll see...
