But it was just cool to represent the country like that. Also, when my team won the Super Battle Opera qualifiers and we got to play in Japan. on Tekken Crash - a televised competition over there - was pretty big. Other than that, being asked to go to Korea and represent the U.S.A. To be able to place consistently at the tournament every year that they’ve had Tekken 6 is what I see as my greatest accomplishment. That’s the tournament for fighting games. RP: I’m very proud of placing top three every year in T ekken 6 at Evolution. Q: What was your biggest accomplishment as a competitive Tekken player? I just need to do my homework and study those characters more, and then I won’t feel as badly fighting against them. This is primarily because not a lot of people use these characters in the regions I play in competitively, so I don’t have a lot of experience against those characters. I also have some problems against Craig Marduk. RP: The characters I have issues with are capoeira characters - Eddy Gordo, Christie Monteiro, and Tiger Jackson. Q: How about the ones you don’t like playing against? Generally, there aren’t a lot of matchups where feel confident like, “Okay, this character is going to be weak against me. Like I mentioned earlier, Tekken is a very balanced game. RP: I think there are more characters that I don’t like facing off against than characters that I like facing off against. Q: Which characters do you like facing off against? With Tekken Tag Tournament 2, there are at least six characters that I’m looking to use: Marshall Law, Forest Law, Paul Phoenix, Alisa Bosconovitch, Kunimitsu, and Jinpachi Mishima. I’ve also been playing with Paul Phoenix on and off over the years. Q: So you started with Marshall Law, but what characters do you prefer to play as today and why? That’s what my gameplay style developed around. The character that I was using, Marshall Law, had a lot of good tools to utilize as a turtle. I got to play with a lot of legends in the Southern California Tekken scene. I started playing this way because of the players brought up around me. Generally, I play the game defense first. Lately I’ve been trying to add more offense to my game, because it’s hard to be correct on your defense 100 percent of the time. I like to let my opponents make mistakes and capitalize on them. ![]() Q: Describe your fighting style and explain why you use it. Even though the character rosters are very large, you can pretty much pick any character you want to learn and be able to competitive in the game. RP: One of the things that I like is that the games are generally balanced. Q: What do you like most about the Tekken series? So I’ve been playing Tekken competitively for about eight years, but it was only three years ago that I started getting good at it. I didn’t get competitive with the game until Tekken 5. Reepal Parbhoo: I’ve been playing Tekken since it hit the arcades with Tekken 1. Q: How long have you been playing Tekken? He also runs where they have been putting out content for all things Tekken the past three years. ![]() ![]() When Major League Gaming had Tekken 6 on their roster you may have heard him as a full-time commentator. Placing in the top three at Evolution three years in a row for Tekken 6, he has shown to be a consistent tournament finisher. ![]() Rip has been playing in the Tekken tournament scene since 2004 and has competed around the world, representing the United States in Korea’s Tekken Crash and Japan’s SBO. First on the arcade stick is Reepal aka “Rip.” Each of the carefully selected members of the team have claimed several of their best characters and painstakenly broken them down to provide you the deepest high-level strategy.
