The shift from TTT to T4 was massive. Most pros didn't appreciate the game becoming so unbalanced. People who used Jin were like <3. T4 was a game that tried too hard to be different with the sudden implentation of walls and uneven battlefields. But Namco fixed a lot of the problems found in T4 with T5. They tidied up the whole wall idea by taking out wall teching but making the wall splash itself have less effect so that the walled character goes to ground faster. Juggling physics changed drastically so it wasn't just 4-5 characters who could do 60+ damage juggles. Now they all can.

Namco was very lucky to have saved the Tekken series with 5. I loved TTT but 4 was the game that made me take my Soul Calibur more seriously. I hope Namco doesn't try to "improve" the series with Tekken 6 and throw in a bunch of new stuff. Little tweaks here and there are fine but really what I want is an advancement in the storyline, some new characters and maybe give the juggling physics a bit of a nerf so that damage isn't so crazy with certain characters. Maybe. xD
