Thanks! Oh man, you bringing up F-Zero just reminded me of the Extreme-G series on the N64. I recall that game having a pretty solid soundtrack so I'll be checking it out shortly. Excellent picks from the F-Zero series, definitely going to put the "Lightning" track somewhere on my list.

Oh hey. I've posted these youtube links before. They can be helpful.
1. How to get up properly. This is really important if you don't want to keep getting juggled.
2. Anti-Alisa Guide. I recommend this generally because it gives a good run down/better understanding of how high, mid and low attacks might work and the ways you can punish them. And, most importantly, it really shows the amount of options you have for countering/punishing.
Tekken is a lot about baiting, tricking, anticipating and punishing. You have to put your mind power to use and be really creative and really clever with how you play. Find the loopholes in the opponents moves. Be both aggressive and defensive depending on context or depending on where the match is headed.
And there are SO many options available to you at one time that it can just be overwhelming for a newcomer. But once you get the hang of it, I'm sure you'll do fine and find yourself enjoying the game. It's hard not to once you learn how the game works.
I would spend a lot of time in practice. Experiment around with juggles and make sure you have some combos down that you know you can do. Ultimately, know what you can launch with and also know which moves your character has that can bound the opponent. Although, it's a good idea to memorize most of your characters' moves. You can skip 10-hit combos,though.
Some other tips:
-When in practice, turn on position reset from the menu.
-When practicing, I generally pick open/infinite stages (Manji Valley, Azazel's Chamber,
-You can also use the shoulder buttons of your controller and assign more commands. This may make things easier in some aspects. Or harder if using 8 buttons is too much to keep track of. Depends on how you work.
I could seriously go on. I'm going to stop.
I have a few playlist ideas, some with more Snoop than others, but I'll start with Prodigy's "Omen (Reprise)" for Heavenly Garden and "Omen" for Fallen Garden, just to tie the stages together
the idea seems cool in my head anyway lol

Nice theme.
Haven't heard anything from the Extreme-G series. Post the good tracks that you find plz.
What commands?
Assuming you are using the default control scheme, LP = square, RP = triangle, LK = X, RK = circle.
So say, you want to use LP+RP. You can assign LP+RP to the L2 button. Instead of pressing square and triangle together, you can just press L2. I hope that makes sense. Go to controller settings to change stuff around.
Yeah, I've been playing Tekken 6 for 2 years and I didn't know I could map buttons to 1+2 and 3+4. This changes everything really.
Decided to post another playlist. Unfortunately Sayah I couldn't find any tracks from Extreme-G that were worth using.
Some of the tracks listed (in particular the song I'm using for Arctic Dream) do not have an instrumental version on youtube to listen to sadly.
Here are a few from the new list:
Blazed Up Melpomene Remix
Kimi ga Iru Kara
How Crazy Are You?
Morrigan's Theme (MvC)
Now, off to bed.

I always though - "boobies!"
I like this win animation.
Wonder if they put some new ones in console version.
Holy shit I've never seen that! Too good!!
There has to be some unique ones for the DLC and console exclusive characters.
Also to everyone in the US:
NewEgg.com is having a sale for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on both PS3 and 360 (US residents only). The pre-order of TTT2 features $12 off and free shipping. The total comes to $47.99 with the promo code: EMCNBHJ256. Link below.

Yeah it is haha.
I really hope they added more winposes. Because the one between Asuka/Jun felt really generic. :/
Everyone in the Mishima/Kazama family should have a special winpose for each combination.
I like this win animation.

LOL
Godlike! I'm loving this "humor" Tekken games have (I'm pretty new in Tekken)
Thank you for the advice, Sayah. I'll definitely watch those two videos, and go spend more time in practice mode. I look forward to playing the full game with you guys in a couple of weeks!

I am officially pissed off. I just watched the quick look of arcade mode and noticed it's tainted with customized AI, including the bosses. Killed the game's single player charm and my hype. Fuck, I just want Tekken in my single player, not multi-color, non textured suits and afros FFS.

That's fine.
And such nice themes.
That DoA4 remix is WOW.

NICE!
Tekken 5 had the funniest character endings. I think TTT2 will beat T5 now. Or at least I hope.
Looking forward to playing you as well.
I'm gonna be rotating Ignition with the T5 character select.
I usually don't mind stuff like that. But I guess they should have a feature to turn off customized AI.
Also, didn't know that we were still getting Blood Vengeance CG character displays. I'm guessing it's probably exclusive to those that bought Hybrid. In any case, I'm definitely using the Nina BV CG.
Old but still fun to re-watch.

Well I'm disgusted by it and canceling my pre-order. The aesthetics are a huge part of holding my interest and since this is ruined, I'm done. Seems dramatic but you can't expect me to appreciate the game for the same reasons as you all.
If you hated trumpets and they made you feel like pouring cedar chips and termites in your ears, I wouldn't expect you to listen to an act that featured them even if they were the best act in the world.
That's fine.
And such nice themes.

I know right? Can't wait to see how it fits with that stage when I'm playing it.
It is kinda odd they have it like that, but it's not really worth cancelling a pre-order over imo.

Except that the shot is from the Xbox 360 version, and the Xbox 360 never got Hybrid. Hah.
I'm guessing they'll either be unlockable somehow, or perhaps just available from the start. We'll know for sure in just a few days!
Anyway, I'm not a fan of the customized AI in arcade mode, mainly against the bosses, but at the same time it's not a big deal, really. Would be nice to turn it off somehow, though.

Read my edit. I don't play Tekken for gameplay and competition alone.
The look, feel and charm go a long way for me. Once Tekken hit a dead end aesthetically (recycled outfits, stagnant story, reliance on customizations), my interest had waned.
This is a bit out there but okay. It honestly doesn't affect me if there is customized AI. Was perfectly fine with it in T6 Ghost Battles. It especially won't affect me if I can just unlock character endings playing online matches just like in T6. In that case, I'll play through arcade mode 5-6 times and probably no more than that.
But since it's a big concern for you, you should tweet harada and michael murray to let them know that aesthetics matter a lot to you and there better be an option to turn off customizations for AI in arcade mode.
OH, NICE.
Everyone gets it.
You can't be serious...
EDIT: Not trying to put you down. Just think that it's a poor choice to drop the game based on customizations. Just saying.

I don't have twitter lol. It's cool though. No one else cares. I loved Tekken art on the other hand. But FRAMES AND COMBOS! =/ I appreciated more than that but don't feel the appreciation back...
As much as I'm disappointed with it, that's his money... Though if that's the only reason moonsault's buying the game then he's seriously missing out... No offense to moonsault.
Hope to see you again for Tekken X Street Fighter
EDIT: And guys, Moonsault is legit. He's not looking for a reason to not preorder. This was genuinely somethin he was eagerly anticipating that was taken away. I respect his decision. It's analagous to me and DmC. I honestly didn't play the series for the gameplay other than DMC1. I played it because I actually fell in love with the lore and characters (Dante/Vergil/Lady/Trish/Nero/etc) and now that they reboot the series I have no interest in getting it since it took away the last thing I cherished about the series.

I don't play to memorize what combos to use against an opponent's whiff. I have an appreciation for all that goes into the look, feel, sound and flavor of Tekken. But that is wiped. I have no mode to rekindle my old school attachment to the series. Ghost battle is one thing, in the staple SP mode of the series...? Ugh.DEATH;41348680 said:

Playing dress-up is half the reason I even play fighting games anymore. *shrug*
To me the act of playing videogames is expression, and I'm going to have a hell of a time expressing myself when somebody is juggling me so hard I may as well put the controller down.
At least with customization I can still get my expression on and make my scrubbiness look good.

Thanks dude. I was so looking forward to this. I became a gaming addict because of T2, my s/n is Tekken related, and I have Jin's ink on my own arm. I may not be competitively up to snuff, but I've been a fan for 15+ years, exactly half my life, longer than most anything else (besides my affinity for the NY Giants).Hope to see you again for Tekken X Street Fighter

Someone else here want to send a tweet then?
Or if MarkMan and FilthieRich are reading, they can probably forward your concern to the devs.
And hopefully also ask them to not make Snoop Dogg the default first stage every single time. I would be irritated with that if I ended up playing arcade mode a lot to unlock character endings.
I don't think we'll get the classic renders but it would be really cool to have them.

First is best though. Easy AI dispatched, onto awesome from there on out.Someone else here want to send a tweet then?

If I get legit confirmation that they'll patch in a bare bones mode, I may ask gamestop if they can hold my pre-order like a layaway if I keep paying little by little as if I was broke as shit but truthfully just waiting for the patch. Taking no chances haha.
Yup, that was only for the E3 build. It's no longer that way.
DAMN IT SDBURTON.
I really had the biggest nostalgia wave.

Dress up is fine in dedicated modes and against the public. I just want the one mode that has the teensiest amount of story that explains all of the characters portrayed in the game to actually resemble itself.

Shouldn't be an issue as long as there is an option to turn it off.
I hope you won't hate me for this.
Can you clarify that post a little? I didn't understand what you were saying. lol
Really?
AAAALLLLLLRIGHT!!!!

Haha. If Snoop's stage is always first, that'd be the best because the first match's AI can be easily/hastily dispatched and you won't have to play on it again, even against tougher AI that'd force you to hear/play it longer.
So good!
Not sure if you played the one on the SNES, but check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abffmSx8DQM
This game should have had every single costume that every character wore in every iteration of the series. I don't really see a reason why not. That means that every character would have around 8 different default costumes. If not that, they should have the retro costumes available in customization mode.
