Forums - Gaming - Tekken Tag 2 tomorrow, who's getting it? Who wants to play?

Working through endings so not really doing but so far my thoughts.

Loving it so far, getting used to tagging combos, still prefer just to be good at 2 characters. I actually would have liked a mode like the Tekken 6 Scenario campaign but alas, nevermind. Customisation is extremely lacking in items compared to 6. Hope they do DLC updates and add some outfits. Changing colours is all well and good but my Lee looked cool in the last game...

Played only 2 games online since getting it Friday, 1 unranked and the guy did well 3-2 game, he won, other one was ranked, a guy who had chosen Kazuya (switching to devil early on) and Angel, used lasers a lot. Wish people would learn how to play, not cheat.



Oh on a side, note, my housemate has it for 360 (I have it for PS3) and I couldn't do a bloody thing on it, it was like playing a shitty version of the game, pressing left it jumped. Pressinga direction and punch to do a move just punched and ignored the direction I input. How do people play on 360? It's hilariously bad.


My screen name is up if you want to go up against me later. On the 360 you have to buy an extra controller to play fighting games properly.

You guys have got to remember that TTT2 is more resource hungry than Tekken 6.  You have layered customization for one character, then, you have to do it for all 4, with no slow down.

The console version can't even support the game in 1080p like the arcade version does, no way they were going to allow you to do something like that, chewing up  more resources.

Playing online, with Tekken tunes even removes the spectators in the school yard.  And, don't forget that any dirt stains, or floor cracks disappear after a few seconds.  Really noticeable on fallen garden.  This current generation of consoles isn't letting Tekken be what it wants to be.

All things considered, I think the customization is better than it was in Tekken 6.  Tekken 6 sold you the same item in different colors and counted them as being separate.   TTT2 allows you to buy once, then change the color how ever many times you like.

Gameplay wise, I hated Tekken 6 like I do SFxT.  I didn't find it enjoyable.  As far as TTT2 goes, it's much more satisfying.

Yeah..  You need a stick.. Or, you have to be more direct with your inputs.  I play Tekken 6 on 360 on release day.  I was able to play it without too much a problem because I already knew I had to press exactly what I wanted, or that pad would make me do other things...  Granted, I just had Lili, who doesn't require anything too strict.

Anyway, as far as the lasers go.  That's one thing you never complain about.  You can see them coming a mile away.  You either crouch or side step.  Devil Kazuya beats having regular Kazuya.  He has more moves in his set, and, from what I've seen, there's nothing I noticed as a side effect.  But, if you think lasers are cheating, you need to go into practice mode.

Unblockables have massive start-ups and/or massive recovery time for a reason.  I don't use any of the Mishimas very often but, using a projectile is far from cheating.  Cheating would be having rage mode active through the entire match without meeting the activation costs.  Everything else is just a part of the game, and you have to learn to defend yourself properly.

BTW, stage, I'm not done with you, yet.  You got too many wins off my bad habit of rolling back and I wasn't happy with my lead over you.  It wasn't big enough. We'll have to fight again sometime.  lol...   regenge.  That's funny.



Getting it tonight (PS3)! Hope I'll be able to play some of you guys (TruckOSaurus is my PSN id)

uh oh... Someone's excited for TTT2.  It's funny, because after how disappointed I was with Tekken 6, I swore I'd never reserve another Tekken game again.  After SFxT, I swore I'd never reserve any other game ever again.  But, that's not what happened with TTT2.

Again, you'll have to send me a game invite.  username is the same, just make sure you use an underscore.  My friend's list is full, and I need to evaluate your skill before adding you. :P  See you tonight, maybe.

The game needs to be patched soon, otherwise, Kunimitsu is going to be considered really cheap.  She can crouch certain mid attacks in the game, and you're not supposed to be able to do that.

They had some deals for thos SF x Tekken pads and SF pads for like 4 or 5 quid in HMV a little while back, might recommend it to my housemate. He is a SF player mainly though. He's going to eurogamer and was expecting to enter the tournament there.

I worked out the needing a stick or special pad for 360 ages ago but never got the chance to play Tekken on 360 until the other day, only fighting games I've played on 360 was MvC3 and only used the stick for it.

The cheating thing, the guy did it once and it hit me as i was in the middle of a move already, hard to avoid, after that they didn't hit me again with it. Me and people I play with class it as cheating as out of all the moves in the game there are only 2 or 3 that are long range and unblockable, we class the moves as off limit. Other unblockables take a lot longer to charge too and show signs of charging. 

Just need to play online a bit more, on T6 I had a win ratio of about 80%. But then I've never been fond of juggling even if it is a proper game mechanic now, I had like one small set in my arsenal, most the time quick moves and skillful play was enough.



Hmm, pie.

After seeing the new trailer, Im getting it for the Wii U edition.



Burning Typhoon, you might get more than you bargained for when I actually get some practice. I haven't had the time because of finals, but when I do, its so on. Until then bullshit matches FTW.



9 trophies to go. 20th dan in offline with Jun.



Dang customisation. I can't make Ghost Wang. (Last time you could give him white skin, white hair, white clothes and a white aura, aka a ghost, well after the end of his story, it was only fitting).



Hmm, pie.

The Tag mechanic has made me realize that I don't have a good second character to go with Asuka, I could do Asuka/Jun team but that feels redundant.
