Tekken Tag Tournament 2 |OT| Awaiting the "Final Battle"
- Thread starter AAK
- Start date
I think Jun as anchor and Xiaoyu on point is good. Also, Jun with rage is better than Xiaoyu with rage.
Markduk to get Cammy cross-over costume in TKXSF confirmed.
Cammy didnt give us a proper shower scene in SFII V, Chun Li all the way.
No, those are fake, they came from this artist from CGhub:

That looks nothing like Lili haha
It's possible in PS4. But yeah...
Kuni's redesign was awesome, so I don't see why Namco wouldn't try doing that... It looks pretty boss...
EDIT beaten, but the point still stands...
Oh yeah, I know they're fake. But I can imagine the game models looking like that if we're working with PS4 technology.
I still would have liked cyber Kunimitsu.

It would look cool... BUT personally, I'd rather have PS3 level models with VF5FS/T6BR levels of customization. I'm scared if they go that detailed... it won't be feasible to make those customizations I actually love in these games
NeatherRealm studios made a Street Fighter game?
woah, what the heeeeeeell?? ^^^^ Why didn't SFXTK team use the top character select. It's clearly the better one.
Honestly, I really would dread that. Way too many matchups to learn.
Maybe with PS4 technology, they can do both. I know SCV looks gorgeous/has a lot of detail and the customization is great in that game.

Shunya Yamashita's new artbook "Beautiful Noise" was just released and it looks like it has all of his Tekken Tag 2 art. Now I gotta get it so I can see the full art of all the console characters.
Wow, I never thought of that. They are very identical. The way I'm phrasing it sounds silly but it's just something that hit me.

Might as well look at the inspiration to the character while we're at it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlbF3s__4Tg
It's these kind of things that define Tekken... and it's these kind of things I hope Namco takes inspiration from to make the SF Cast. Screw Ryu/ken's helicopter levitation and Cammy's barrell roll spin that magically translates horizontally as well. Those moves don't belong in Tekken. Make Ryu/Ken legit Shotokan Karate users. Make Cammy a legit Krav Maga or something user. REAL fighting styles please.
It's not only obvious Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan but eg. Raven's Vampire Knee is taken from Hiroyuki Sanada from Ninja in the Dragon's Den. Like exact animation, it's crazy.
There are probably tons of moves taken from old obscure kung fu/karate movies.
As for TxSF I want the same - realistic moves for SF cast but it likely wont happen.
Tekken 5.0 and 6.0 were hilariously broken. Probably 5.0 moreso. Devil Jin became top tier in 5.1 and DR due to being nerfed the least out of the cast.
Also, don't forget about Dragunov WR2 juggle on normal hit in 6.0.
And while we're on the subject of moves in Tekken taking inspiration from real stuff:
Burning Hammer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AfaATYmbpQ
Shining Wizard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL5RB8RivY8
Shining Black (Armor King version): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay2qCXvGsfY
Steiner Screwdriver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kppGpbm8EHk
Deja Vu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl-aSLFfnXA#t=8m54s
They're not as true to the originals as Virtua Fighter though.

Already do...
When he sees the ps3 he says "Tekken!"
What's annoying/adorable too is that he tries to go jump on me while I'm playing...

Pool 32:
Pokchop, RunitBlack, Overall__
*Had a female competitor in the listing
Knee still hasn't put his name up, I guess he's doing a last minute registration on the day of. I guess some other big names that are missing include the Virgina heavy hitters like Sayco/Mr. Taxi/ForMyNinjas along with LingMassacre... but I guess he retired. I'm also sad to see that Slipkicks isn't competing either, but looking at his WTF page, it definitely looks like he's quit the game. That's also kinda sad to see considering he's one of the competitors that won a major for this game. But regardless, looking at the above list... even without Knee that is a STACKED tournament. Along with UTXIII this will probably be the highest caliber of Tekken play we'll see outside of Japan/Korea.
I don't think I'll even be able to watch half of it So much studying to do.

Everyone in this game is too cheap!
Why does Bruce still get a full combo if his hopkick hits while I'm in the air?

Same reason Nina gets a combo after u/f+3 hits an aired opponent.
Let me rephrase that.
Nina and Bruce are too cheap.

Oh goodie I get I need to copy that down so I'll know what heavy hitters are in my pool lol.

Nina cheap? Nah....More people would use her then if she was an easy to use, cheap character. Bob, Lars, Hwoarang, Bruce on the other hand.......
You think Hwo is cheaper than Nina? Or cheap at all for that matter? That's a rather unusual opinion.
Rhazer Fusion
Member
Nah, not necessarily calling him flat out cheap or anything, but more difficult or annoying to deal with than Nina I think. Once his quick strings get going and he is on top of you, it seems like the down + 1 or u/f 3 hits him randomly with me and if I screw up, I am screwed basically. I guess I don't consider Nina cheap because I rarely fight her and imo she is very difficult to play properly. Not saying Hwoarang is easy to play properly by any stretch of the imagination because he is not, but I think he is easier to learn than Nina and that is why I see way more Hwoarang players online than Nina. I fight Hwoarang 4 to 5 times out of ten matches at least on average so I suppose he can get under my skin more than Nina. It could just be the way I handle him though since I sometimes freeze when he goes into those fast strings.
The thing to remember about Hwo is that when you guess right vs him, you typically get a free launch. You just have to hit up the training mode and learn when to duck in his strings or when to sidestep/sidewalk.

Played my 100th online match last night, 30% winrate.
(casual here mind you!)
Kunimitsu is definitely my favorite character and will be my main forever.
But I keep on switching between Jun, Zafina and Michelle as 2nd char, can't really decide who I like best from these 3.
Zafina has the coolest fighting style I guess but I find her pretty hard to control.
Any pointers perhaps?

Zafina is just like every other stance based character. When you start, you have to familiarize yourself with what moves go into what stance, and when in those stances what options do you have. Also really important, how to cancel out of those stances back into a neutral position. For Zafina, it's generally pressing d/b to go back into a neutral pose from any of her 3 stances.
Zafina's greatest strengths are her MONSTROUS backdash speed and wall combo damage. Out of all the new characters that have come from the HD era (Leo, Miguel, Bob, Lars, Alisa). Other than that she does have a relatively tough time. She can be very punishable if you like to press a lot of buttons, but you really shouldn't considering how good her walkspeed allows her to turtle. And I think she has 2 really really good low pokes. Her new d+3 move crushes quite a lot of high and mid moves. And her b+1+2 is amazing for tormenting your opponent from a distance.
You also have to be really creative with her during tag assaults to make the most out of the juggle damage potential. I know Knee uses Zafina as a secondary, you can look at some video footage online for pointers with her. With Knee, he's so good that he automatically becomes the best practitioner of that character in the world haha.
The Tag 2 5 on 5 is about to begin. Miss it and you're the worst Tekken fan ever. http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky
