Never played tekken 6 online or much at all, so thought I would fire it up and jump online and see what is what before ttt2.

First game, 850 something win yoshimitsu defeated. Stay free.
 
TTT2 comes out this week huh?

It has some pretty big shoes to fill, everyone knows SFxT is the ONLY tag based fighting game worth playing

I have said it for a long time, if SFxT played like TTT2 it would have been much more successful. This was pretty obvious after watching the TTT2 tournament at SS 2012. TTT2 did the TTT tag team system a lot better than SFxT did and won't have all the stupid timeout nonsense.

That's what TxSF is for.
 
MARKMAN IM CALLING YOU OUT

If TTT2 gets dropped off Big Two's stream in a month you have to shave your mustache and start collecting/advertising fightpads
 
I am pretty sure you are going to be able to customize Tiger or Eddy to look like Snoop Dog. Tiger is half way there already.
