The game also keeps track of the playstyles of players who use the machine, which is used as fake opponents in the single-player Arcade Mode. One of the main additions of Tekken 5 is its unique arcade cabinet, adding optional controller ports for PS2 controllers and a dedicated card reader (named the IC Card System) that allows players to track their overall ranking while allowing them to customize the appearance of their linked character (by using "gold" acquired from completing and winning matches). The fifth main installment in the Tekken series, Tekken 5 re-incorporates the series' traditional endless stages while adding some new techniques and gameplay changes (including the "crush system", which affects the vulnerability of a character while they attack). It later received a minor update (dubbed Tekken 5.1) sometime in mid-2005 and received an enhanced re-release in late 2005 (as Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection). They come out reasonably fast, and they also send the opponent flying back very far, which is great for pressuring into a wall.Tekken 5 is a 3D fighting game developed and released by Namco for arcades (using PS2-based Namco System 256 hardware) on November 2004. U/f+3, 4: These quick jump kicks are great to use in situations where you think an opponent will try to low attack you. It's a little slower than the Wind Fist, but it hits grounded opponents at all times, and it does good damage.

On counterhit, it's worth over 40% of your lifebar! If you ever block any attack, this is what you should be countering with.į, f+2: Similar to the Wind Fist, this launching uppercut is great for punishing whiffed attacks as well as closing the gap between fighters. It starts with an extremely quick punch, and ends with his 1+2, which is guaranteed a f, f+2 at the end. On top of that, Heihachi can't be punished too badly if this is blocked.Ģ, 2, 1+2: If you've been wandering some of the Tekken sites around the internet, then you know why this move is listed. Use it as much as you can.ġ+2: Similar to Asuka's 1+2 in range and power, Heihachi's version is much stronger, and guarantees a free f, f+2 afterwards for some massive damage. It's a very quick attack, and it's all guaranteed on counterhit.

Strengths: Great power and speed to his moves, great combos Weaknesses: No real weaknesses, although he lacks a fast low attack.ġ, 1, 2: This has been a staple in the Mishima family since the beginning of Tekken, so it should be no surprise that this one of Heiachi's strongest attacks. Soul Calibur 2 players will probably recognize some of them. Being the last time release character in the arcade version, Heihachi is still as powerful as he was before, and now has a couple of new moves added to his arsenal. Sans diaper (thank god), it seems that Heihachi Mishima had survived the attack at Honmaru, and is now back with a vengeance.
