Come see me suck and AO rock the house on twitch at /finalroundbats.

 

[Degen]

my Jack-6 has made leaps & bounds from the throw-whore some of you might remember fighting in T6

I use him a lot in online/offline VS now, and his style feels really natural for me

granted he is easy as dirt to use

 

[Sayah]

So I guess this thread isn't getting moved for the Wii U release. :/
Oh well.......

 

[AAK]

Holy crap, who are all the monsters in your room Sayah!?

Holy crap, who are all the monsters in your room Sayah!?

Heartnoob is someone I met in T6. He hates losing so there's that. And Passmesalt must be someone he invited.

Anyway, there's room for one more if anyone would like to join lobby.

 

[AAK]

Heartnoob tormented me throughout Ranked lol. I faced him like 4-5 times with different characters who were the same rank as mine. If it wasn't for him I'd at least be in avenger rank lol.

Who is this mystery Bear Friend of yours!

Yeah, he's pretty good. One of the better Xiaoyu's I've seen.

And that would be my brother.

 

[AAK]

Your brother is SOLID!

 

[Sayah]

Your brother is SOLID!

Yeah, he plays Tekken A LOT.

Anyway, picking Lei by accident. The only thing that really irritates me in this game is that we can't de-select a character once he/she has been picked.

 

[Sayah]

Sorry had to go so soon. GGs. FUN games. Really love this game to death. It's like wowwww.........

 

[Teknopathetic]

On the main page for a bit due to the Wii U release.

 

[Canis lupus]

So envious of WiiU owners having Tekken Ball!

 

[Pachimari]

I'm so tempted to get the Wii U edition with its Tekken Ball mode but I'm holding out hope, that it's a timed-exclusive and that we'll see it on PS3 next year as well.

 

[Dereck]

Is Tekken Ball even an online mode?

 

[Sickboy007]

What's the name of the Neogaf team?

Cool, do I have to be good to join? Because I suck big time.

 

[Dereck]

I'm one the team, so no.

I don't remember who the inviter was though.

 

[The Elite]

I couldn't find this at all today.

Yeer. Thanks Tekno.

Things Tekken does better than (most if not all) other fighters:

1. Best Netcode
2. Bigger Movelists than any other fighter, which means more animations and more hard work. Which further makes you appreciate the netcode even more.
3. Wider variety of characters, huge roster with a lot of diversity in the cast.
4. Hits are so damn satisfying to land and character expressions are phenomenal.

You can just imagine Anna's "aa-aah" and Lili's scream as the move hits.
5. Tremendous, mind-blowing Depth.
6. BEST music without a doubt. Customizable music to your liking.
7. BEST ending movies. So much comedic craziness. The team took it this far.
8. Female characters don't get the vagina tax (Capcom) or don't become sex objects (Team Ninja).
9. A lot better balanced than mostly all other fighters. Tier lists don't mean much at all.
Level of skill overrides everything else. No gimmicks. Nothing that can't be overcome with time and practice.
10. Extremely content heavy. Extremely.
11. Best fan service in the industry.
12. Amazing DLC practices.
13. Online ranking match cheaters actually get punished.
14. Only fighter with a free dedicated site that has stat-tracking, team formation, team discussions, etc.
15. Excellent clothing/customization options (T6 >>>>>> TTT2 but still......)

I think there are various other things that can be noted too. People can say it's subjective but we all know Tekken Tag 2 is the best fighter released this generation.

What about VF5FS?. As a whole package i think i can agree with TTT2. Tekken team probably does have way more budget than the VF team so TTT2 having way more features and extras is understandable.But considering VF5FS price,the content it provides is great honestly.Best 3d fighters this gen.

VF5FS is super amazing as well. Especially the netcode. I played a match with Mighty who is in Japan and it ran flawlessly. Really took me by surprise.

 

[DR2K]

1. Best Netcode

Yep. Easily the best.

2. Bigger Movelists than any other fighter, which means more animations and more hard work. Which further makes you appreciate the netcode even more.

Nah, it's about the same as the other major 3D fighters. (avg)

 

[Momentary]

Sooo depressed that this isn't out on PC. I can't wait for that day to finally come. I might pick it up on Wii U. But I just can't help and imagine how this game would look at 720 or 1080p instead of whatever weird native resolution it actually has.

 

[A.E Suggs]

Is there any streams out for the wiiU version?

Game is 720p native unless more than 2 characters are on the screen.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-tekken-tag-tournament-2-face-off

Rather than render at a fixed sub-HD resolution, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 operates using a dynamic framebuffer, where the resolution is adjusted on the fly depending on the rendering load. For performance reasons, anti-aliasing has been also been completely omitted to free up GPU resources for Namco's impressive object blur effect. Both versions kick off running natively at 720p when there are just two characters on screen.

 

[sixteen-bit]

How well does the TvC stick work on this?

 

[Dereck]

Does adding a "f" to "1" make it reach farther?

Whenever I use "1" by itself, it usually doesn't connect, but when I use "f,1" its almost like it extends about 3 inches so the combo connects. Anyone know what I'm taking about?

I know exactly what you're talking about. There are various combos I'll do that are better connected when you press f with 1.

Watching the Destructoid Wii U stream. Hoping that they play Tag 2 next after blops.

 

[A.E Suggs]

I'll keep an eye on that stream I guess.

 

[Sayah]

They're about to play Tekken Wii U soon.

Some AA would've been great for this game. Sadly jaggies really pop out in a otherwise beautiful game.Wonder if it would have been possible for namco to give us an option to activate some kind of AA like they do with motion blur.

 

[B-Dex]

Mushroom mode is SICK!

Ps3 version of Tekken 6 allows turning off blur and that gives better res and/or AA. Can't remember but the IQ is much clearer.

 

[lazybones18]

So does the Wii U version not have Unknown as a playable character?

 

[Sayah]

Game looks pretty amazing on Wii U. Really envious that PS3 won't have Mushroom Battle or Tekken Ball. haha

Unknown is the empty slot next to Dr. B. I'd assume you probably have to finish arcade mode to unlock her.

You are basically moving forward and then landing the jab. For many characters you have to completely dash forward and land the move. Hence this is something that makes it so hard to play Mishima's since to actually land their punishers you have have dash into those electrics.

I personally think Tekken Ball will eventually come to the other systems.

 

[Sayah]

I personally think Tekken Ball will eventually come to the other systems.

I definitely hope so. Otherwise, I'm buying a Wii U at some point and Tag 2 will be my first game.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Yeah, Tekken Ball is awesome and that special song makes it twice as awesome.

 

[Dariso]

Yep the game would get some AA if you turn off the blur, resolution was always the same, subHD if i remember correctly on PS3 but with cleaner IQ. Maybe its because of the dynamic resolution thing been used TTT2.Wonder if someone has asked harada about it.

 

[Hours Left]

So, does Tiger have his own set of customization items now, and an ending? I'm hoping so since he got a Nintendo costume.

 

[GhaleonQ]

Indeed. I'm lucky that it's been 1 of the sleepier years for me, games-wise, because my career, real life, and other options for taking in art have barely left me with enough time to be competent at my 2 favorite 3-d fighters ever. At least, I have the base for Virtua Fighter. I only really got into this with 5, so I still had to rebuild my basics when I started.

The package has made it well worth it, although I'll have to find someone I know who gets a Wii U.

 

[devastatorprime]

Anyone know if there are more Nintendo costumes besides the ones shown in trailers? I was hoping for some Fire Emblem outfits.

 

[Hours Left]

Anyone know if there are more Nintendo costumes besides the ones shown in trailers? I was hoping for some Fire Emblem outfits.

I don't think so, but here's a list of all the characters I've seen so far in their Nintendo outfits.

Mario: Bob, Eddy, Heihachi, Jack-6, Kuma, Paul
Luigi: Marshall, Prototype Jack, Wang
Princess Peach: Christie, JayCee, Lili, Panda, Xiaoyu
Toad: Jinpachi, Tiger
Bowser: Alex, Ganryu, Ogre, Roger Jr.
Link: Kazuya, Lars, Yoshimitsu
Princess Zelda: Alisa, Angel, Asuka, Jun, Nina
Sheik: Leo
Ganondorf: Armor King, Devil Jin
Captain Falcon: Bryan, Craig, Marduk, Raven
Zero Suit Samus: Anna, Kunimitsu, Zafina
Fox McCloud: Dr. Boskonovitch, Hwoarang, Steve

I haven't seen the Nintendo costumes yet for the following characters: Ancient Ogre, Baek, Combot, Dragunov, Feng, Forest, Jin, King, Lee, Lei, Michelle, Miguel, Miharu, Mokujin, Sebastian, Slim Bob, Unknown*, Violet

If anyone can help complete the list, that would be great.

 

[vocab]

Zafina has zero suit.

 

[Pachimari]

Just tried out the 3 added characters today and it feels GREAT having the Doctor back. Unknown and Violet are very welcome additions. I wonder if they'll fill out the rest of the grey area of the Character Select screen. Tetsujin, Crow, Tougou, Shin etc.

The insane thing is, I haven't even tried out Fighting Lab yet, so many days after launch.

Anyway, I love Tekken.

 

[Hours Left]

Zafina has zero suit.

I couldn't remember if it was ZSS or Sheik. Thanks.

 

[A.E Suggs]

Guess I can't expect any real streams or vids of the wiiU version until late in the week.

 

[AdroitOne]

I definitely hope so. Otherwise, I'm buying a Wii U at some point and Tag 2 will be my first game.

Ahh man, I'm going to get the Wii u version as soon as it become available on the eShop, I was hoping some good competition would be playing up there when I arrive :-D.
