Tekken PSP to feature ghost fights, not 'live' online multiplayer

Gamernode reports that Namco Bandai plans to reward Tekken Dark Resurrection's top players by featuring their likenesses ghosts as downloadable adversaries. The ghosts can be downloaded directly onto the PSP (stored on the Memory Stick) or onto a PC, and then transferred to the Memory Stick. Unfortunately, live versus matches will be limited to ad-hoc play.

It's unclear how the ghosts will mimic their real world counterparts – or for that matter, how Namco Bandai plans to choose candidates for ghosting. Typically, a 'ghost' is a recorded image/video that is superimposed onto the game world. In most cases, ghosts cannot alter that game world, nor can actions in that game world alter the ghosts. Obviously, Namco Bandai is developing a different concept, one that will, presumably, interact with the player.
