THIS recent win proves again that Filipinos are at par with international players of video games.
Filipino players Carlo Racela and Daniel Chua both placed high among the players in the International Tekken 6 Championships held at the TriNoMa Mall in Quezon City last Saturday.
Racela beat Australia's Andrew Kim in a race-to-five match for the championship round.
Incidentally, Kim had beaten Racela during the round-robin matches that pitted five of the other players. The equally matched Kim and Racela gained four wins and one lose each before facing off.
During the championship round, Racela stuck to the use of one Tekken character, while Kim changed characters twice after sensing that Racela had changed his fighting tactics.
Racela's favorite character for the tournament was Bob, a new but obese player in Tekken 6.
In an interview, Racela said he has been playing the Tekken series for five years. But he practiced for the tournament and admitted being nervous the first time he faced Kim.
Racela won US$500 (approximately P25,000), an Asus Eee PC, and a Tekken 6 game save card that will show him as the champion of the competition. He was also given a surprise prize of a round-trip ticket for two to Japan.
Chua placed fourth and won US$200 plus a Sony PlayStation Portable.
During the competition, Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion was introduced. It has two new characters, Alisa Boskonovitch and Lars Alexandersson and a total of 41 characters.
Timezone President Raffy Prats said they would be updating their existing Tekken 6 machines to the new Bloodline Rebellion game sometime in January.
Prats said that Timezone has over 60 Tekken 6 arcade machines in the Philippines. It is also one of its most popular arcade machines so far.

I still want Street Fighter IV...
wow! mabuhay ang pilipinas! ^_^
SF3 Third Strike parin the best! :)
I agree with Cafekko. Timezone needs Street Fighter IV... :-)
Mabuhay k Jinlo (Carlo Racela) idol!
SFIV b? malamang sa Quantum magkakaroon nyan..
hehehe tekken imo is still the best nothing comes close
kahit pa vf yan hindi kakana sa appeal at depth combination ng tekken
tekken=easy to pick up hard to master ^_^
One more thing ,
sa Street fighter third strike
maraming character ang sobrang broken YUN, Chunli, at even remy na sobrang pang abang type
street fighter= your character has a high chance of determining the outcome of the game
unlike sa tekken its in the player on how he/she utilizes the character is what affects the games outcome the most...!!! ^_^
To the Philippine Champions for Tekken 6, Congratulations!!! ^_^
who cares about sf iv it sucks and lacks "depth".
capcom's no brainer fighting games days are over.
pasintabi na lang sa mga STREET FIGHTER PLAYERS...
NO BRAINER kasi yang SF at maraming broken characters... most players rely on the SUPER MOVE GAUGE just to dispose their opponents.
TEKKEN series, esp. Tekken 6, DOES NOT RELY on those crappy super move gauges just to KO your opponent. you have to master your character, get a strategy, and learning to punish (either by a combo or a move) BY FRAME. Tekken is easy to pick-up, but HARD TO MASTER. that's the challenge of it.
TEKKEN SERIES > SF SERIES
yan lang po.
Hoooray.. Tekken 6 International Filipino Champion :D Carlo Racela and Daniel Chua.
Tekken is nothing but a button masher. If you want real fighting games try playing Dead or Alive and Virtua Fighter. Try mashing those buttons because you will get nowhere. Still waiting for SF4. ^_^
button mashing in tekken 6 will get you no where to you know. people will just laugh at you if you do
I have been playing SF and Tekken and they are both good... but tekken has a larger learning curve, and i still am having difficulty mastering the moves, but i like it...
