it sickens me that everyone's milking this game for all it's worth. but i really don't know who to place the blame on here. maybe Namco if they put the four credits as default, or maybe it's a common number that some other group decided on. i don't know

except for Jun in TTT?
Or Aoi from VF
i was waiting for you people to come out
i played with Jun and Aoi before, and i don't remember them using their moves like that. key word, accurately. wait, let me do that again. key word, accurately. colors tend to stand out when placed next to a monochromatic setting
granted, i haven't played Virtua Fighter or Tekken Tag Tournament in ages, so please step up, put me in my place, and correct me if i'm wrong. (use examples as well.) asinine attitude aside, i am seriously interested in this

I'm curious as to why you think Asuka is more of an accurate portrail of Aikido than Aoi. Granted, Aoi leans more towards Aiki-jujutsu which involves more striking, submissions and joint-locks than Aikido. But I find Aoi represented quite accurately

and that's probably why. what i remember of Aoi is a lot of joint locks (or uh bone snapping in her case) and less "nages"
but, as always, i could be completely wrong. i rented Virtua Fighter once, and a couple of months afterwards, only played it for an hour or two with friends. one of them used Aoi the entire time, but he could have just been performing the same move over and over because i was too stupid to avoid it. as for Tekken 5, i've only seen the small footage of whoever had the guts to throw away a dollar, but Asuka used a lot of "pivoting" (i really wish i remembered the Japanese term for this) during her throws and regular movement. i'm guessing it can be used by itself as a "command move" as well, pressing both kicks or something, like Xiaoyu's "spin". anyways, this is just what i observed. seeing a couple of hours of one game and a couple of minutes of another doesn't make me an expert or anything

Some places are only $.25 to continue
that totally rocks. i've never seen that in all my life, but i know i'd be a continuing a hell of a lot more if i only had to pay half the price to finish my game. although, i guess it'd cheat the arcades a bit, especially if a couple of guys (who would gladly pay 50¢ for the game) only spent a handful of quarters to play against eachother for hours
EDIT:
time to play Tekken Tag. it's been a while since the last time i saw Jun in action. time to compare (and quench my Tekken thirst while i'm at it). i haven't been this excited ever since i bought that I-No figure

And people wonder why the arcade industry is dead. Gee, could it be because you waste so much money on your first time playing a game that you don't want to play it again until it comes out for a home console?
High prices weren't what caused the downfall of an arcade close to my university. Prices there were damn cheap -- most games were one token, several two, a rare few for three. And if you got all your tokens on Tuesdays, you could essentially get 2 tokens for a quarter.
This is an arcade that had a wide range of games, from Q-bert, Mrs. Pac-Man, and Joust, to Tekken 4, Hydro Thunder, and Mocap Boxing. They even had a Neo-Geo machine with more-recent releases.
And I would spend several hours at a time there, playing SF3:3S, KOF '99, DDR, Metal Slug 3, Atari Tetris, etc. It was a damn good parlor -- and I remember when the place would be packed on the weekends.
But, ultimately, the arcade parlor failed. And this was in a college town, of all places.
Meanwhile, though, the Dave & Busters shops in the metro area around here still thrive, charging US$2.00 average for a game credit.

I am definately not an authority on Aikido, but Aoi has a ton of moves that look like Aikido. When you say pivot, you mean the spinning move to the side that Asuka does? Aoi has that too, but there can be a strike thrown in for good measure if you want. She also has a special stance where she can push away all mid and high non spinning punches and kicks. Sounds powerful, but it's risky to use...

Aoi's Tenchi In'you stance deflects a ton of attacks and she spins away during some of them, or you can press up or down to do it manually. She has various animations and abilities during certain reversals, despite them having the same command. Yes, she does a lot of joint and limb snapping, but she has just as many evasion and positioning moves that are related to Aikido. And don't get me started on her throws.

At Glfland, Sunnyvale, CA it was 5.00 to get a card or something to play tekken 5. I looked at my friend Olivia, and she said "oh hell no."
I thought the same thing, because that five dollars could go to my gas later on and probably even pay for my laundry money. It would even probably help me out when I see my gas meter falter to "E" when the gasoline icon flashes red!!
I think I would rather get a game pass from Blockbuster, (25.00 for multiple games to rent) and wait for it.
Not only that, Blockbuster is 5 minutes away from me while I can rent a new release movie at the same time. I know, I know, sometimes Blockbuster is far away from some people, but I just thought I would give some helpful advice.
I don't think it's a big deal - It seemed the same like Tekken 4 to me. Jeez, I am growing out of the arcade scene. Wow, things are outdated when you turn 30.
Back on tangent, even though I used to work for golfland, but then again, I can ask my friend rachel to give me her golfland fun tickets (10.00 worth of tokens) since they are worthless to her in Ohio...
But instead of paying 5.00 on tekken 5, i just played air hockey with her, and that basically was more fun than anything, since I won 6 to 4 against her (ha ha ^o^)
