Devil best player in Europe ? I don t agree with this...he did well beating Ryan hart feng vs feng in tekken 5 but he never won a major tekken tourney...Even if the guy is gifted...to say he is the best in Europe it s far wrong I think !

He won BoD, that was pretty damn huge. He also never won another major tourney because he hardly travels, like Alioune being regarded as the best european SSF4 player but he also doesn't travel very often, even to French tournaments. He's also widely regarded as the best in Europe from the popular opinions I've heard.

Chuu is the Kazuya. You can see his matches against Devil and Ryan Hart in the related videos. he'll be using Kazuya (suit) or Lee. He would hardly have been the Lei. The lei player lost and I had previously stated that Simon got 3rd and was only beaten by Devil and Ryan.

If you are still unsure, you should come up and challenge him yourself.

You mean Bode ??? The italian Julia player ? u mean Devil beat bode ? Of course this is huge, but he is not the only one in europe to have manage to do so..Genius, PS, JTB, ect...You know in a tourney all goes very quick...But I m sure you know that...
You just cannot say Devil is he best in Europe, sorry, as you said he barely travel and for the few he did he did not won it. Best tekken players in europe Steve 88, JTB, Genius, PS, Starscream, dinosaur, Malekith, bode, leok, you could have picked this ones, because they ve been consistent, went to many tourneys and won few of them and they prove it many times...ok.
I have nothing at all against devil but sayin he is the best at tekken in Europe is just not serious...Sorry.
OK Chuu is the Kaz player...Ok well I am kazuya player myself...So thats cool !
I dont think I can come to Belfast but I d be happy to come if I have the opportunity...As well you re welcome to drop over her to check what some of us ( Mevek, domo, Aaron...) are made of...you won t be disappointed I guess.

BoD = Battle of Destiny

test you well

Xinkai · 17-11-2010 1:58am

I think it's time for Triademan to put up instead of basically saying Simon's a scrub...

I also think Simon has no clue whats going on in this thread

TEST YOU WELL

Yreval · 17-11-2010 2:43am

Saw him tonight, didn't speak to him but one of the other guys will probably have filled him in.

I should probably highlight now that Simon has beaten Dinosaur and I think he's beaten one or 2 of the others at either Battle of Destiny and Super vs Battle as some of the names sound familiar from what I remember of being there. I was watching when he beat Dinosaur and it was rather convincing. In Battle of Destiny Devil beat Dinosaur also. He and his brother were 1st and 2nd, respectively.

I can put this info to Simon if you like and see if he'll possibly attend the next Inferno or something.

Well tested.

K.O.Kiki · 17-11-2010 11:05am

Who're those mysterious Polish brothers who keep beasting on Ryan Hart & making him salty?
Never learned their names.

Xinkai · 17-11-2010 11:13am

Nobody knows.

But they are godly Kazuya players, can't remember if the other brother plays Kaz or Nina, but the champ brother defo plays Kazuya.

Beating dino is quite a achievement as he is in the top 3 UK in the last past years, the guy has been to many tourneys in europe, got really good results...And he has a huge knowledge of the game...

The polish brothers are Matt and Devil and they are not Mishima players...Devil is top tier charachter player ( Feng in T5, marduck and feng in Dr, Lili and marduck in t6, i am not sure about t6 though...), Matt was playing julia, Law and steve and got beaten many times by Ps in tourneys...
So it is absolutely not like these guys are staying home in poland and could crush all best players who travelled and got experience in Europe...lol

Oh yeah, I have read that matt and devil did not travel...wrong info again, they went to paris at least twice for UT on Dr and in Germany I think at damagegermany...So even when travelling they did not won it.

After i dont know about Simon and i have been on the tekken scene quite a while, I know the players in Europe, the best in most countries ( Italy, England, france, Germany, holland, poland, spain, sweden...) and I was just asking who he was, and all the guys in dublin who are on TZ (the most famous tekken website in Europe never heard of him..sorry but this is a fact...) I never said he was a scrub...( If there is a scrub, this is probably me...!!!)

But to clarify there has been said lot of wrong stuff about devil being the best player in Europe, ect... and that s need to be said !

Anyhow ! Enough talks let see what we can do to organise something and have a fight !

I can t come over next week end but if you can drop in Dublin any time later, that s grand !

We ll have another tourney in next few weeks so this could be the opportunity for you to try us !

Firstly, thank god i happened upon this thread!
I've been dying to play some offline tekken in a community based environment.

But before i commit, a few questions;

1)I assume your playing on PS yeah? so i couldnt bring my arcade stick OFC since i play X-box....

2) Is it always gonna be in tournament form? I dont care if its tournament based or not, would gladly play with a group of people for the joy of it. If a tournament form attract's more interest then i'll gladly join.

3) How regular are you planning to make these?
Once a month would be great.

Hey, and welcome to the forum

I'm sure if you keep an eye out for the threads that say "casuals" that pop up in this forum and ask anyone if they're up for some Tekken matches you might be able to find some people to play. I don't play Tekken at all myself, but a few around here do I think.

Awesome!

I dont see a reason why i cant make it down to dublin once a month

Count me in for the next one

(oh and regarding the converter, my xbox stick is wireless unfortunately, so i'd have to manually install a pcb....which i probably will end up doing to a future stick at some point, but not any time soon me thinks!
Cheers for the suggestion tho)

Why don't you all work together and ensure there's another tournament.

Send triademan a pm or if you know him ask him or something.

We've said this a million times- you need to keep them going, or you'll never build up more interest!

I live in Dublin.

Ah its an 1hr 20~ish min's by bus. And they go rather frequently. Only problem is the weather atm

Tell me about it...

Well, I hope there's going to be another tournament so you can meet the people and stuff.
What characters do you play? And how long have you been playing?

Ixayek_usurper · 30-11-2010 11:37pm

I'm really looking forward to it actually.

I need to play offline to up my game. Because of my location there aint anyone (except my bro!

) available to play, so we've been pushing each other as best we can. I've over 7000 online games but its not the same as offline, even tho there are a lot of really solid players online.

I've been playing since tekken 3. (thought i was the **** till i played online and realised i wasn't worth crap!! lol!)
So,about 8 months ago i visited TZ, learned frame data,improved my punish success rate, worked lots of strat's, watched ton's of vids, and lots of games (more importantly, taken my fair share of loses!) to improve.

I think i'm at a good level, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I main Hwoarang, sub raven, and currently working on lee and dragunov.

Yourself?

mantys · 01-12-2010 7:42pm

I play since Tekken 5 DR and I am a beginner. If you feel like coming to Dublin and so on, just let us know.
I main Miguel and Lili.
The other players are really good, so you should contact them.
You play since T3, so you should have a lot of experience.
There should be another tournament coming soon (I hope, I didn't participate in the previous one), a good chance to meet the players.

Ixayek_usurper · 02-12-2010 10:25pm

Ah, i dont think a player should really be judged to much by how long they've played the game.
I was crap before i played online and got my ass handed to me (numerous times!!!).
This spurred me on to try to improve my play.

I'm definitely up for it. (provided buses are running OFC!)

Would you mind telling me whom i should contact?

mantys · 03-12-2010 6:55pm

@Ixayek_usurper:

Your top priority is triademan. He will probably organize another tournament soon. Just send him a PM.

If you don't want to wait for the tournament, maybe we can meet at XGC in Dublin and play for longer time (so you just don't pay the bus fare to play 5 games of Tekken and then head back), if any of the guys are interested, they should post here.

BTW, I lost all my phone numbers just yesterday so I have no other contact with the community.

On TZ there are some guys saying that they would be interested in coming here and playing, or even participating in a tournament.

nani · 04-12-2010 10:10pm

I`m the guy who`s mentioned by mantis on TZ.

Defintetly - just a small tournament of 10+ people would be a very interesting stage to start from.
Even sparring matches would be nice - just to see the levels of play we are at. Maybe it turns out its too early for us to be on a tournament. I myself would be interested in sparring, but I am not to sure about my friends. Theyd probably would like to see a tournament first!

Anyways - let us know whups up! We are in situated in South tipp. Cahir.
So if any players are close here - let us know and we could organize something!!!

mantys · 06-12-2010 11:32am

I think we could meet up in Dublin. It seems that triademan is either busy or in France. I don't have phone numbers of players so I can't be sure.
If anyone wants to organize something, they should post here.

nani · 09-12-2010 11:26pm

Like I said if there are any players say starting from 3 (including mantys) it would be worth coming down to Dublin for a sparing session - a day full of Tekken. And provided we would have a place to play.
As mentioned above (day full of tekken) it would have to be like at least some 3+ hours as its about 2+ hours for us gettin to Dublin, so that its worth coming.

Doctor DooM · 10-12-2010 1:35am

Just meet up in the XGC on Liffey St. It's where the blaz blue and the Street Fighter players already meet.

nani · 10-12-2010 9:20pm

Are there any particular times you meet up there?

If there are any vids of ya guys playin it would be nice seeing theme (some links), so we could determine what we are in for.

BTW - I saw some footage from belfast tournament, but there werent a lot of vids...

mantys · 12-12-2010 11:56am

I saw the videos as well. Actually there is plenty of them. And let me say they are ****!
The only player worth playing against is Simon. He knows the game. The other players are like me...:D seriously. Or even worse than me and that is something!!!

We should leave the meet up to January probably, as Christmas is coming and all that...
And nobody replied, so...

There are no videos of the good players playing T6, there are some videos of them playing T5DR, so check it out. Search for Tekken Ireland on youtube.

Doctor DooM · 12-12-2010 12:13pm

To be fair,i'm not a tekken player at all. Give me the opportunity to record some high level Irish tekken tournament play and I'll do my best to record it.

I've actually got some stuff on my hd but there's some sync problems and I have no idea who's playing.

batman_oh · 12-12-2010 12:41pm

Just organise a meet up at xgc and ill be there!

Dreddybajs · 12-12-2010 6:31pm

Lads, one of you who plays Tekken has to actually step up and organise something, it's not just going to magically materialise from ye saying "I hope someone organises a meetup".

Scavenger XIII · 13-12-2010 10:40am

There are no meetups for the same reason there are no match vids for the same reason there aren't many good players.

Tekken is dead.

Nobody plays it.

The field at CXC was a mighty three entrants when signups were meant to close and a handful of us threw in just to make up numbers.

No it isn't. Well at least I don't think so.

No one makes a concerted effort. I would bet there's is considerably MORE casual Tekken players than SF in Ireland. I certainly see more interest in it in casually at the cons than SF. 1 tournament gets organised and because only a few people show up another doesn't happen for months.

Blaz Blue was effectively dead in the Republic til about 4 months ago when Chuey (a.k.a Joe) and Voa did the ground work. Wheel of Hype is trundling on now.

The Tekken players need to man up and keep running tournaments and casuals on a regular basis or it's never, ever going to happen. Yeah only 5 or 6 people might show up this time. But next time 6 or 7 might.

I talked to Triademan and he agreed but he seems to have vanished again.

Lads, pick a weekend, go in to XGC and play your casuals and start from there. But if you don't make it happen it won't happen.

Scavenger XIII · 13-12-2010 12:28pm

OK that was a bit of an exaggeration but the point is there.

I suppose the somewhat elitist undertones cropping up around the thread irk me because expecting high level Irish Tekken is kinda like going to a Star Trek convention for the break-danceoff.

mantys · 13-12-2010 1:02pm

Whatever...

OK. I'm willing to organise a meet up this Saturday, 18th December. By "organise" I mean to actually show up.;)
Whatever time suits you guys. I will bring one copy of the game, two PS3 controllers, that's it.

Just to let you guys know. XGC is an internet cafe where they have PS3 consoles and XBOX360 consoles to play on. The fee is 2.5 per hour per person. If you want a controller you have to pay 20 euro deposit for it, so bring your own if you can and copies of the game.
The cafe is a short walk from O'Connell Street, on 30/31 Lower Liffey Street, Dublin 1.

http://www.xtremeigc.com/Contact.html

Any questions, post here. Post a time you'll be there so ... we won't miss each other and stuff.

P.S. Oh, and the videos from Belfast have very good quality, the players don't. (not Simon)

That's kinda the point my friend, if the good players don't show up to tournaments when they are put on, there's not much we can do!

Triademan · 13-12-2010 10:08pm

Yop ! sorry for not showing up before...I have been mad busy recently...Could not organise anything...

I ll show up on Mantys session this sat.

TEST YOU WELL

mantys · 13-12-2010 10:35pm

Thanks God Jeff!

How about making it a tournament? Last one in this year? And kicking off the real deal in 2011? Monthly Tournaments and stuff?

If anybody is interested, post here guys! (Or I'll maybe make another thread)

1) Triademan (K.O.I.F.)
2) Mantys

P.S. If you guys don't want to make it a tournament, we'll just play for fun.

nani · 14-12-2010 12:32am

Weed show up, but were only gonna be 3 as one of our guys has no motiv at all as it is at the moment.
As for the time - good would be this sunday in Xgc - provided its open nad if I will find it, as i am the driver

(any info if there is a parking space near it)?

Weed have our controllers with us - that is the least prob. Just need confirm if anybody else can make it and most importantly if the cafe is open!?

Both tournament and fun play is OK with us as long as its atleast 2+ hours...

nani · 14-12-2010 12:40am

Mantys and Triademan - guys, whats your mains!?

You can park in the Jervis Centre car park which is quite close.

Vyze · 14-12-2010 1:04pm

We were kinda surprised with how unpopular Tekken was at CXC considering it was one of the most popular fighting game events at Q-Con this year. But as has been said earlier, if the players don't attend tournaments then they can't expect people to keep running 'em!

Tekken is hugely popular with casual games players in comparison with Street Fighter.

My theory goes like this: Street fighter is learning to play the guitar, Tekken is learning to play the drums.

In Street Fighter, if you don't spend some time at the start learning execution for specials and the like, the game devolves into a boring looking set of thrown punches. There's a level of skill below which the game is no fun and visually appears to be no fun.

Playing the guitar, until you spend a certain amount of time strengthening your hands to be quick enough to change chords, the only sounds you can make are totally dissonent. Sounding crap is no fun.

In Tekken, if you are just starting, you can mash out buttons and cool things will happen. This looks and feels like you're doing well despite there being a huge skilll gap yet to climb. but it's fun.

With the drums, anyone can hit the bass and snare pretty much off the bat in 4-4 time with very minimal assistance. You're able to keep a rthym, which is fun. However, the real skill in drum playing is not yet touched or understood at all.

I genuinely think it'd be muuuch easier for the tekken lads to get people to come to tournaments if they put a bit of effort in. People where mad for it at Gaelcon, while there were about 8 people for SF.

There were loads of casual gamers at Q Con, but the only people at CxC were hardcore FG fans.

mantys · 14-12-2010 3:56pm

As usual, we get more replies from SSF4 players than Tekken players. :mad:

OK, we'll need some replies from you guys, from those interested in playing. I don't mind coming there on Sunday, don't know about the others.

It's important that triademan is there, one of the top players here, so...

Anyway, I don't mind organizing it anyday (Saturday, Sunday), it doesn't matter to me as I live in Dublin.
For nani and the rest: There is a map on the cafe's web site. Check it out. You should find a place to park in Jervis, which is a minute walk away.

Please, just post here if you are interested in the tournament. The day (Saturday or Sunday) and time you can be here. The cafe opens from 10:00 on Sundays and at 9:00 on Saturdays.

@nani: If it's a tournament it will last probably for 2 hours and there will be free play afterwards. The staff in the cafe know us so the price will be less for playing. It can last for 5-6 hours, if anyone is for it.
My main is Miguel, Alisa, Lili, Devil Jin. I'm a beginner. You should post your and your friends' nicknames here, so if it's a tournament, I can put them on a list properly.
Triademan has to tell you himself.;)

P.S. No tracksuit bottoms please. Seriously.:D

List at the moment:(promise, I'll start a new thread)

1) Triademan (K.O.I.F.)
2) Mantys
3) nani +2
....
6) ...

nani · 14-12-2010 7:38pm

So - in our case it can only be Sunday as I am workin on Saturday.

Nani - Bryan, Jin, Kaz;
Kickers - Bruce, Alisa;
Ezzda - Law, Bob (hes gonna come allthough he had second thoughts);
Shogun - Paul;

About the times - could you please double check that they are deffinetly workin on that day, just in case.

(thanks in advance)

I`m sure will find our way around and we could be there around 10/10:30.

Mantys - how could we exchange phone numbers!? (prefferable email, etc.)

If this is a tournament (as i understand it is) will there be a participation fee!? Whad ya think - or just playing for the sake of the game. Both would be allright with us!!

I am not sure on our level, though i`d say we are mid level players.

Is it worth posting anywhere else - maybe on TZ so someone who has interest could join us!?
