Why do I Keep getting beat at Tekken 5 Online PS3?When playing Tekken online I have a problem I keep getting beat and do not understand why. My internet connection is absolutely fine but my moves are not registering i do not think 8 W and 66 L. How do you block and i would be gratefully for your advice. When I play why does the other guy get his moves in first. I have a very fast internet connection because other games work fine like call of duty 4..

my suggestion, find people with the same connection speed, and, learn to block, that might help a bit

Because of how long it takes for a signal to get from your opponent's system, to the server, to your system, the entire mechanics of what moves are good and what moves are bad changes when going online.
Look at it this way:
Moves in fighting games are measured in frames (with games typically running at 60 frames per second, meaning each frame is 16 milliseconds). Fast moves in Tekken are the jabs Nina and Steve have, at 8 frames, while slow moves (aside from the unblockables) tend to be about 16 frames. But it gets a bit more complicated, as each move stuns an opponent a different amount of time when blocked, and each move has a different recovery time. If the stun time + 8 frames is less than the recovery time, it's considered a safe move, as even if blocked, you can block any counterattack.
But when you figure in the inherent latency of internet connections (even a great connection will take 20 milliseconds to get to the server, unless you have fiber-optic running straight to your house), suddenly moves that normally can't be used because they are unsafe on block become perfectly safe. And the reaction time your opponent has on a quick jab (to the part of the body they aren't blocking) also gets reduced. And where your opponent sees you might not be the right location, if you keep moving.
Basically, playing any fighting game online is a joke, because the inherent delay in internet connections completely changes the gameplay mehcanics.
