Welcome to Gaia! ::

It depends on which Tekken we're talking about.

Tekken 1, Nina had an infinite. Enough said.

Tekken 2, I didn't care much for this game, so eh...

Tekken 3 & 4, no Anna

TTT, Anna was definitely better. u/f+1,3, f+1+2 was nuts

T5.0, Nina was by far better. Anybody in the competitive scene can tell you that.

T5DR it's up in the air atm. I personally find Anna to be easier to play, but they're both very effective. I'd give the edge to Anna atm, but it's a toss up.

I like Nina's looks best because I think Anna is just a complete slut and she's one of the characters I hate personality wise. I prefer to fight with Anna though, I dunno why but I think her moves are more powerful, at least for me anyway, but she's also harder to beat than Nina.

I like Anna more,and i think she's hotter 3nodding

definitely nina!!! she's way hotter, cooler, and better technique wise

DR: Anna is a little bit easier to win with, but both are equally as good at end game when people are familiar against them both

5.0: Nina takes the cake. There is no arguement here.

It's not about the "swifter" move set, they're pretty equal speed wise. It's due to Nina's u/f+1 which allows her to juggle you for maximum damage PLUS get excellent okizeme. After spiking you down with this move, depending on what you guess, you can potentially lose up to all your life off of two wrong moves.

Anna is easier to play in both, but with absolutely no potential in 5.0. She needed a wall to even remotely be considered a threat there.

That's odd, I personally found Anna more difficult to get the hang of in 5.0. Once I did, however, I didn't need a wall, I actually tend to steer clear of using walls to my advantage, I prefer the challenge of going without. The computer playing Anna, however, was certainly no threat, as you say.

I hit it off with Nina right away in 5.0, however. I suppose it may depend on the player.

But I have to agree with you regarding Nina. Perhaps, "swifter" is not the word, rather an illusion of being swifter. One must admit that playing Nina feels like lightning. As you said, however, Nina's juggle is the deciding factor here, that's likely the reason for this illusion of "swiftness". Anna is lacking in this department in 5.0, definitly.

Well, if I can not do those things and still succeed with ease, I don't see how it's ridiculous. Not everyone has the same play style as you, and it doesn't take a wall to be a solid player. We didn't have walls in the older Tekken games, I don't see what makes them so necessary. If the fight steers towrds one I might use it for a second and then move away from it to continue the fight, or I may not use it at all depending on how I feel. I don't rely on the walls. IF I use them, as stated before, it is brief and sparingly. I am not handicapped in any way, shape, or form. You should respect that not every Tekken player has the same style of play as you, nor is your particular style a prerequisite to being a solid player.


Furthermore, while Nina and Anna may feel exactly the same to you, that doesn't mean every Tekken player on the face of the planet feels the same way. Look at how many people say Nina is faster than Anna when asked the question. Obviously they are noticing a diffrence when playing the two, be it fact or be it a result of the juggles they are using or what have you. The point is, the two characters feel diffrent to many. To generalize and state that there is no diffrentce in the feel between them is assuming everyone must feel exactly as you do when they play the game.
