When it is your turn, it’s set up just like any multiplayer game. Once you’ve connected to a game room you’ll have to wait your turn, like putting 50p down on the cabinet, and watch the other matches in a spectator mode. Your skill level determines the skill level of the room and your opponents, so you won’t be pummelled by players miles better than you. The online play works like this – you connect to a game room filled with up to eight players – like winner stays on in an arcade (remember those?).

Or, when I hit my opponent into the air in an attempt to juggle them with a combo, I’ll miss my next hit. So, for example, if I can see my opponent attempt to hit me with a low attack, my low block will be too late to do anything. But for me the lag in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online makes it difficult for me to play as well as I do offline, and is therefore frustrating. Of course the quality of everyone’s connection, and game experience, is different, I understand that. At worst, there can be about a half-a-second delay. It’s just disappointing to see Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online, a downloadable PSN game I’ve been anxiously awaiting for ages, succumb to it.Īt best you’ll get playable matches, where there’s little delay between when you press a button and your character performs a move.

I know, it’s impossible to get true lag-free play. And now another dream, where I’m playing 3D beat-em-up Tekken online, has joined the club. One dream, where I was playing classic 2D beat-em-up Street Fighter 2 online against some of the best warriors in the world, has already succumbed to its nothingness.
