It's on the PS2 (with special arcade style controller) and Arcade. It features original characters from the earlier Tekken series like the Mishimas Kazuya and Heihachi, the new JACK model, Nina Williams, Paul Phoenix, Yoshimitsu, Kuma and Marshal Law. It also returns some characters like Ganryu, Roger(Jr.), Bruce Irvin, Anna Williams, Wang Jinrei from Tekken 2. Jin Kazama, Bryan Fury, Julia Chang and many more. More importantly it includes new characters like the Ninja Raven, the Kenpo Killing Machine Feng and the "new" Jun, Azuka Kazama. And it also revives the "original" Jin(from tekken 3) as "Devil Jin." Tekken 5 has a new story wherein you would fight the founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jinpachi Mishima, father of Heihachi. Also, Tekken 5 brings a new face to the Tekken Series by adding a data card. This card enables you to have a win-loss record, rankings, and one of the best features... fight money(G) and character cuztomization. Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection features the same concept of Tekken 5 but with the theme "RESURRECTION", it has "resurrected" some characters like Armor King, Eddy Gordo and the original DEVIL moves for Devil Jin. It has more cuztomizations for the characters and it has made the color purchasing at a flat rate - 10,000G only. It has more rankings than before (5th dan to 7th dan and "Destroyer" rank). Has some improvements on the graphics and sound. New moves for the Tekken 5 characters. It added borders to the ranking plate. And 2 new characters, Lili and Dragunov. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ The Story ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TAKEN FROM: http://tekkenzaibatsu.com/tekken5dr/index.php After the conclusion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, an intense battle between father and son, Kazuya and Jin, took place at Honmaru in the Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters. Jin emerged as the victor and Heihachi turned his back on Kazuya. "What a pathetic wretch... Worthless coward!" The battle between Heihachi and Jin began. Filled with anger, his black wings spread, Jin defeated Heihachi. Just as Heihachi thought he was doomed, Jin regained control of himself. "You have my mother, Jun Kazama, to thank for your life." Jin said as he took flight. The sounds of battle gave way to silence as Heihachi lay spread out on the ground. The silence was soon interrupted by approaching aircraft. The roar of the aircraft increased and the sound of something being ejected was heard. A group of Jacks crashed through the ceiling. At first, Heihachi suspected that Kazuya was responsible for the intrusion but realized that Kazuya was just as bewildered by the sudden attack. "Why are you here?" yells Heihachi as the wave of Jacks approaches. Heihachi and Kazuya battle waves of Jacks but reinforcements appear as fast as the Jacks are destroyed. Heihachi starts to lose his breath. Kazuya betrays Heihachi, throwing him into the middle of the army of Jacks, and uses the opportunity to escape from Honmaru. Shortly after, Honmaru is devastated by a huge explosion. Close by, the battle is watched by a man dressed in black. He raises his hand to his ear and speaks into his radio. "Heihachi Mishima is dead..." At that moment, a Jack attacks from behind but it cut in half instantly as the man disappears. Honmaru is completely destroyed, a raging inferno in it's place. A pile of debris was blown apart as something emerged from the earth, unseen. The next day, news of Heihachi Mishima's death spread rapidly across the globe. Most people believed that Heihachi's death would bring about the end of the Mishima Zaibatsu, but behind the scenes someone else had taken control, and business went on as usual. A month later, it was announced that the Mishima Zaibatsu will hold the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. PART IV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ SERGEI DRAGUNOV ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Why Dragunov? ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why did I choose Dragunov you ask? Well it's actually quite simple... this is why I chose him. 1 Day, I got lucky beating foreigners in DR with a 10 straight win streak A week later, I did again this time with 7... so I said, it's a calling... So I followed my "How to choose a Data Card" Rule which is - Deafeat the default records for wins(in ATC it's 7) more than once Then when I got my card... I screwed up... but don't give up! Current Status: Name: Sloth The Awakened Rank: 3rd Dan Customs: 2P(I only use this cos.) Head: none Face: none u. body: none l. body: none color 1: red color 2: blue color 3: white Record: 72-84 (yea I did screw up... but got I to 3rd Dan, which is hard in my place considering not everyone gets lucky enough to even be 3rd Dan) now.. Why Dragunov for you? Simple... I can break it down into 2 for you =) ------------------------------------- The Style Factor ------------------------------------- He does have some of the cheapest and best customs in the game. I can guide you into what you can turn him into. People can say they choose Dragunov because they say "He looks like Solid Snake." Yes, he does! Defend your country using country flag colors. Or be the leader of the war. Others say "Soldier look" or "Saddam(lol)." anyway, Dragunov has the style. Choose from guns, hats, knives etc.. ------------------------------------- Fighting Style ------------------------------------- The Strong Silent Type. Major Style Points! But.. it's in the fighting style. Once you get a hang of Dragunov's moves, you can be unstoppable, Dragunov IS one of the most confusing characters! One of the best POKING characters in the game. Also the BEST attack to graple moves. Has Great delays and pick-up moves(picking up from a back roll) and delayed moves. Think of him as KING+MARDUK+NINA. Be warned though! NOT NOOB FRIENDLY! Mastering Dragunov will take your time(& money) if you don't have the right experience with Tekken. I think if you follow my "How to choose a Data Card." rule you'll be fine! ------------------------------------- Pros (+) ------------------------------------- - Style! - Cheap and Good-Looking Customs! - Poking - Attack-Grapple moves - the confusing moves - he's new, not everyone knows him ------------------------------------- Cons (-) ------------------------------------- - NOT NOOB FRIENDLY - has some similar moves with other characters - kinda slow.. - other than that... I think you'll be fine =) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Story & Profile ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Sergei Dragunov Origin: Russia Fighting Style: Sambo Wrestling Age: 26 [Unofficial translation by kurichan] The coldest ground covered with an enormous river. While conducting a geological survey for the purpose of resource development, a peculiar body was found beneath the endless frozen soil. The military quickly dispatched the Special Forces to quarantine the area, they later relocated the unknown body to their laboratory in total secrecy. One month later, the military headquarters responsible for investigating the unknown body, thought of giving special orders to one man involved in the excavation. A man named Dragunov, a member of the Special Forces, the very symbol of fear on the battle who has been dubbed the White God of Death because of his overwhelming fighting prowess. Dragunov stood silently, nodding his head in approval, as he received orders to go to Japan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Move List ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this the move list from http://tekkenzaibatsu.com/tekken5dr/movelist.php?id=dragunov grappling arts name escape range 1+3 or f+1+3 1 2+4 or f+2+4 Airplane Spin 2 f,f+1+2 Blizzard Rush 1+2 d+1+2 or d/b+1+2 Tundra Tackle system = 1 = Blizzard Hammer 1 = 1+2 = Hammer Rush 1+2 = 2 = Achilles Hold 2 f+1+4 1 f+2+3 2 u/f+3+4 none d+1+3 1 left side 1+3 or 2+4 Tarantula Twist 1 right side 1+3 or 2+4 Reverse Arm Bar 2 [back] 1+3 or 2+4 Absolute Silence none Hit moves with grapple 1,3,2 = 1+2 1+2 =~B = Throw Shift Cancel f,f+2 = 1+2 1+2 = ~B = Throw Shift Cancel b+2,1,3 = 1+2 1+2 SS+2,1+2 = 1+2 = Tundra Tackle system d/b+3 = 1+2 1+2 b+4,2 = 1+2 = Tundra Tackle system qcf+4 Knee Trap = 1,3,4,2 1 = 2,4,3,1 2 Basic Arts name range 1 jab h f+1 forward jab h FC+1 crouch jab Sm 2 straight h FC+2 crouch straight Sm 3 lateral kick h FC+3 crouch spin kick L 4 roundhouse h FC+4 crouch shin kick l special arts 1,1 = 3 1,2,1 1,3,2 d/f+1 d+1 skinner elbow b+1 WS+1,3 double hit f+1+2 b+1+2 Blizzard Hammer qcf_WS+1+2 frost charge 2,1 = 3 = 4 f+2 = 4 f,f+2 f,f,f_WR+2 d/f+2 shrapener d/b+2,1,2 ripper combo u_u/f+2 qcf+2 boost elbow qcb+2 flexible elbow SS+2 = 3 = 1+2 = 4 WS+2 Proton Upper f+3 f,f+3 Boost Kick d/f+3 d+3,4 d/b+3 Clipping Sweep b+3,1 WS+3 Sub Hilt BT d+3 Nail Shooter 3+4 b+3+4 d+3+4 Morgue Blast 4,3 Propeller Kick f+4 = 4 = d+4 f,f+4 Caterpillar Heel f,f,f_WR+4 Leap Knee Trap d/f+4 d+4 = 1,3 = 4,3 b+4 = 2,1 = 3 u/b_u_u/f+4 qcf+4 Knee Trap FCD_SLD 1+2 Living Dead b+1+3_b+2+4 high & mid reversal b,b,u/b wall jump unblockable arts b+2+3 Sub Zero 10 hit combos 1,3,1,2,4,1+2 1,3,1,2,1,1,4,1,3,2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Customizations ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the best customizations are always at http://tekkenzaibatsu.com/tekken5dr/custom.php?id=dragunov Punch Customs: Head Items: Helmet - 500,000 G Brown Hair - 30,000 G Dizzy - 30,000 G Face Items: Tactical Goggles - 60,000 G Face Paint - 300,000 G Eye Patch - 80,000 G Upper Body Items: Back Pack - 60,000 G Sniper Rifle - 120,000 G Assault Rifle - 50,000 G Lower Body Items: Knife Belt - 150,000 G Knee Pads - 200,000 G Aura - 40,000 G Aura Random Change - 30,000 G Kick Customs: Head Items: Formal Hat - 200,000 G Wool Cap - 120,000 G Dizzy - 30,000G Face Items: Gas Mask - 300,000 G Sunglasses and Pipe - 60,000 G Eye Patch - 80,000 G Upper Body Items: Matle - 500,000 G Emblem - 30,000 G Assault Rifle - 50,000 G Lower Body Items: Sabre - 60,000 G Golden Leggings - 150,000 G Aura - 40,000 G Aura Random Change - 30,000 G Colors: Punch Costume: Color 1 = Customize the Body Suit Color 2 = Customize the Vest Color 3 = Customize the Gloves and Boots Kick Costumes: Color 1 = Customize the Military Jacket Color 2 = Customize the Gloves and Boots Color 3 = Customize the Military Pants and Belt Colors Available: All Colors - 10,000 G White, Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, Brown, Gray, Dark-Olive-Green, Dark Cyan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Customization Builds ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is author's own work Dragunov could look like many famous/infamous people/characters from certain games, movies, tv shows etc. with the proper cuztom items put on him.

I would add some GHOST AI and actual Player battles. A. Dragunov VS Lili Being a 2nd Dan Lili, here's what you should always avoid. d/f+3+4 qcf, WR+2 b+4 = 3 = 4 1,2 = 3 = 4 u/f+3+4,3+4 SS,3 d/f+2 d+1,2,3 SS+3 Lili's ten hit combo goes like this... 4,1,3,4,4,3,4,4,3+4 h h m m l l m l h ^ counter here (facing oppenent d/f or U[jump]) one of her most favored moves is the d/f+3+4, counter it by SS all the way to her back and grapple her for strong damage or juggle her. pros of fight: stornger you can always connect with a quick d+4,1,3 you can cheat her by using Tundra Tackle (d+1+2_d/b+1+2) cons of fight: slower she always connects with something unpredictable less agile B. Dragunov vs Marduk avoid: falling down ready postion(d/b+1+2) then tackle (1+2) grapples d/f+1 CH f+2 WR+3 d/f+3,1 FC, qcf+4 ff+2 counter his tackle with SS or qcf+1+2 dont use u/f+4 often becuase he can catch you with a grapple(it happens) Marduk is too strong to fall victim to a good grapple falling down will just annoy you with the FC, qcf+4 until you die. this really pisses people off. pros: faster your tundra tackle could give him a taste of his own medicine d/f+2 and quick juggles if you stick to him like glue with continuous moves like 2,1 b+2,1,3 d/b+2,1,2 just dont let him go. cons: he's stronger has ready position most Marduk users could really estimate the battlefield like an engineer C. Dragunov vs King avoid: the string grapples u/f+4 f+2,2 WR+1,2 WR+1+2 SS grapples (like ready position) d+4,4,4 d+4,2 if you fall victim to the string grapples, it's game over. King juggles are not so good but his lifters are kinda clever can stun you well pros: kinda faster kinda stronger you have better lifters and continuous moves that can connect with lifters cons: most Kings memorized the string grapple falling down gives him a good advantage a faster, equal strength version of Marduk D. Dragunov VS Kazuya avoid: f, N, d/f+2 bb+2,2 qcf+4,4_4,1 d/f+1,4 WR+1,2 WR+2 d/f+2 the flash uppercut (f, N, d/f+2) is very deadly if he keeps on doing the same moves (like 1,2,3 3,1 1,2,2 etc) its hard can stun you well with lots of damage pros: more lifters have better counter hits can connect with quick moves can trip him well Kazuya has limited lifters cons: fast lifters good stun good connection with trips E. Dragunov vs Jin avoid: u/f+4 b,f+2,1,2 f,f+2 qcf+4, 3+4 [43] qcf+1 confusing unpredictable I encountered a Jin that kinda distorts the graphics with a stance or SS pros: more lifters faster stronger almost all the way better but... cons: unpredictable has ways to really beat you F. Dragunov vs Asuka avoid: f+2 1+4,2,4,4,4 ... f+1,3 f+1,4 b+2,1,4 f+1+2 Asuka is agile, quick and confusing. I have a good friend that uses Asuka and he uses the same moves but it's too hard to counter. pros: stronger better throws better juggles cons: she has almost every advantage (speed, agility, decent throws and juggles) annoying continuous attacks falling down often roll back delay G. Dragunov VS Nina avoid: d/f+3,2,1 ... SS moves qcf+3 ff+3 f+1+2 f, qcf+2 d+3,2 d+3,4 Nina, assasin, just those two words should piss you off. Nina is an assasin for a reason, infact I'll give you some reasons to make you hate her. 1. She does grapples like KING 2. Does great stun moves making you prone to juggles 3. SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU LOSE pros: strength you have the same favored moves, use this knowledge of her moveset to your advantage cons: again, same moveset, if she knows what you're trying to do, your dead faster grapples stun I could name more, but the name NINA should just do this good... for now... H. Dragunov vs Anna avoid: b+4,3 b+3 d/f+2 CH qcf+1 u/f+4 falling down Anna, sister of Nina, same stuff but she'll be less trouble to you unlike Nina. pros: strength grapples stun cons: continuous moves falling down some similar moves I. Dragunov vs Steve avoid: d/f+1+2 d/f+2 d/b+2 f+2,1 f+3,2 Steve is fast and strong too, the perfect boxer. So just watch out. The good thing here is that he's just limited to punches. pros: you can kick (hehe) quicker (different from faster, meaning no special stances needed) grapples cons: faster falling down d/b+2 is annoying PART VI ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ F A Q s ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ Q. Will there be a PSP version? A. Maybe... More of NO than yes becuase I DO NOT OWN A PSP AND I WOULD RATHER WAIT FOR THE PS3. Also, it would be pretty much the same thing only with a new devil within/tekken force mode, theatre mode, a separate survival, time-attack, story and arcade mode. Q. How can I earn more G faster? A. Win. ... Just Win all you matches you can, if you want some extra 225G then exchange 1 playcount and play the AI, beat Jinpachi and get the extra 225G. Or you can get a ghost character to get G for you. Also, beating higher ranked opponents will give an extra 100 or 200 to your 1000G. 1 last thing, some begginers get a "Tekken Roulete"(the red light on the time attack screen above the life bar) so just take advantage of this, and if you lose, you could still moultiply the G you earned by X2, X3, X5 or X10. Q. How I can I leave a ghost in the machine? A. I'm not sure. I never knew how I got my Lili become a ghost in the machine. You'll get a sign in your data card after inputting it in the machine saying "Your Ghost has Earned ___G". Here's some tips on how I THINK I got a ghost character: 1. Win, simple right? 2. Attain a high ranking (like Dan rank or higher, sometimes 3rd kyu works) 3. Keep playing at the same machine. After being a usual customer, at some point you should be made a ghost. 4. Defeat other Ghost characters I'm never sure how you could get a ghost but I just think this is how. Q. I have the same name as another ghost, what do I do? A. Change your name. Or you could make your character look different. Add some stuff like !! >.< :P and other stupid smileys. What's important is that you have a better fighting techniqe. Q. How can I promote my ranking faster? A. Here's how, depending on your ranking: Begginer - 1st Kyu = Just beat any non-AI character and gain a winning streak of 2 or 3, the 4th battle will give you a promotion chance. losing also works! hahahahaha!! >.< 1st Dan and Higher = Beat higher level opponents(ex. 1st Dan[You] VS 2nd Dan[him]) even if he's higher by just 1, it's all good. Gain a winning streak of 2 or 3 then there will be a promotion chance. NOTE: I noticed that sometimes you just beat non-AI characters with you Dan rank and fight a higher rank, you'll earn a promotion chance. NOTE: You can only get promotion chances whose at-most 2 ranknings above you(for first Dan and higher) ex. 1st Dan(you) vs Warrior(him) even if you won 100 straight matches before this, theres no way you'll get a promotion chance... sucks, dosen't it? Q. Whats "Demtion Risk" and how do I avoid it? A. A Demotion Risk match will warn you that if you lose the Demotion Risk match, your ranking will be lowered by 1. To avoid it is by winning. Getting a losing streak will give you a demotion risk, 2-4 loses will give you a demotion risk at your next match. NOTE: This only works for 2nd Dan or higher Q. My data card is damaged, will I lose my chracter? A. NO. depending on how bad it looks, I can never say. But if you play with the FRONT side of your card, its ok. I once pasted a picture of my favorite band on my card and it was still ok, I took it out, now it's all damaged and stuff, but it's ok. So the thing to remember is: NEVER PLAY WITH THE BACK SIDE OF YOUR CARD!! Tampering with the serial number will destroy your card. Q. Theres a cheat in taking advantage of the Roulete, how do i do this? A. The only time you can cheat the Roulete is by pressing start many times and the up or down buttons.. ex. if you have X2 it'll be X3 or X10 if you successfully do this, hey a X3 is better than X2, better yet an X10!! :p PART VII ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Legal Stuff ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ here is the legal junk...
