- Devil Jin will have Jin's Tag movelist with added moves
- Jinpachi is ultra cheap from the vids i've seen...no noob will beat him!
- There is a card system to keep ur customized char and junk (kinda like Initial D Arcade Stage)

If u need more info on this, check out www.tekkenzaibatsu.com so yeah enjoy beat everyone down and what not

after playing it, i have a few pros and cons about the game:

Pros:
- The graphics are very nice, the stages are done nice too
- AI is actually a tad hard, it reminded me of Tekken 2 (mid stage was hard, and sub/final boss was hard)
- very fast paced action (except for Jin, hes slow )
- (insert comment about card system here)

Cons:
- The joystick is weird at first, but its playable
- The graphics engine is a little bad (only one impact point on the ground stays)
- Side Stepping is harder which causes more cheap/unblockables to hit
- Tech rolling is hard, I couldnt get my char. to tech roll to the side thus getting raped on the ground

Yeah the Cons arent that big of a deal really, they can all be worked out once u get used to the game. The walls werent supose to have a big impact on the game...yeah right, one wall rape and I was on the ground....altho i was play again Hwo so yeah I would assume i would be ****ed on a wall hit. I love Jin and his new moves, they all rock...but his old moves are slow compared to the others. His new Laser series was a pretty thing to see and I'm glad that they took out the unblockable last hit to that. Its gonna be hard taking out anyone with him, but I'll try.

Asuka is down right cheap if u can read ur opponet...You can get gimme damage at the start of a battle if u start out with b+1. 9/10 times ur opponet will attack first, thus giving u counter damage. If ur opponet figures out ur strat, then u can to f+1+2 and get a high hit on them. I did that to the comps and people and the only ones that I didnt hit with them were Devil Jin and Jinpachi. Yeah So overall I guess its ok, better than 4 which counts but not the best.

O yeah I beat the game with Jin 5:28.xxx and a 7 game winning streak with Asuka
