They had the PS3's since the days of vanilla SF4. The reason is because the PS3 version of SF4 was more closer to the arcade version than the 360. The PS3 is more reliable and they didn't have to worry about the 360 getting the RROD. Also In vanilla SF4 it was easier to unlock everything on the PS3's and many people still used the PS2 sticks, which were easier to adapt to a PS3 without any lag.

Glad to see Ma win it because he's been MIA for nearly a year while playing SSF4 online mainly. Hopefully he does well like last year's EVO. | ||

A big problem with using PS3s for major tournaments is that you need to get a license from Sony to do so. Microsoft allows you to use the XBox for money events like tournaments, but Sony does NOT allow you to use the PS3 without a license from them. Evidently Evo is licensing the PS3s, but I don't think any other majors do. | ||

Weird, I just noticed that my old man spells "Hsien" as "Hsein," unlike most people. -_-;; edit: Is Bob the cheapest character in Tekken 6? I don't know anything about Tekken, but Tokido picked him on stream! | ||

EDIT I don't hate vanilla or SSF4 since I play that more than Tekken 6 itself. I just hate it when common shit like SSF4 vs Tekken is brought up. It's like arguing over PS3 vs 360, SC vs SC2, Counter-Strike 1.6 vs Counter-Strike: Source, etc. | ||

the playstyle being more dependent on the player in tekken is largely a product of far, FAR less variety in what characters can do. most characters in ssf4 can, though not necessarily optimally, fight from any range. characters who can't have very strong mixup games at close range and tools to get past other characters' zoning. watch a close abel vs rufus match between two top players and tell me it's all about reaction time. a stance change is nothing but a substitution of move sets with a very clear visual cue. how this is an aspect of tekken's mind games i surely can't comprehend. it ought to be an automatic adjustment on the opponent's part. i can see how the concept of 'fakes' is more pronounced in a 3d game like tekken, where the 3d model-based engine gives a murkier picture of what your opponent is throwing out than in a bright, 2d, frame-based game like ssf4. since the concept of 'faking' is called 'baiting' in ssf4, there is some common ground between the games here. i don't know enough about tekken to determine which system is more complex, but i can sure as hell say that ssf4 has it in spades. the ability to adhere to a flowchart in competitive play is disgraceful to me | ||

Moves that you think are punishable because they involve an opponent lunging at you body and limb, leaving them wide open, are actually safe and it's very confusing. I do like Namco fighting games because they involve stages more than other fighting games, making the environment more than just a pretty background and adding a certain element of strategy. When it comes to competitive play for Tekken and to a lesser extent Soulcalibur, though, there are a lot of intricacies that players and spectators need to know to be able to follow along, moreso than SF4 in my opinion. | ||
