The DOA Creator has every right to say this about Tekken. I have played both extensively, and the competition, Virtua Fighter. As a fighter, Dead Or Alive is really good. With the nice counter system, and the good execution of combinations, and the multi-tiered environments, it makes it a great fighter. Tekken, from what I have played and seen, is a sit-and-wait fighter. ALWAYS, I see two veteran fighter just wait for someone to pounce. One wrong move, and it is curtains, because there is no effective way of cancelling an enemies combo while they are in the midst of one. Tekken 5 really hasn't evolved since Tekken 4. I agree with the DOA creator. Tekken, really, is not up to par.
