Oh god, that Laser Scraper...
Wondering if were getting Julia or Jaycee in 7. Really conflicted since I surprisingly liked Jaycee in TTT2.
I'd bet on Jaycee's movelist, possibly with the rest of the kung fu stuff replaced with lucha stuff under the name Julia. Jaycee outfit as 1p, traditional Julia outfit as 2p.Wondering if were getting Julia or Jaycee in 7. Really conflicted since I surprisingly liked Jaycee in TTT2.
Or they'll just take a few things from Jaycee and still make her Julia....
You could enable move names during fight?!
Amazing.
This feature gotta get back.
I always loved that little touch in T4. I also liked how the move names didn't sound so OTT and sounded like realistic moves e.g. Right roundhouse punch.

They look similar but I'm pretty sure they redrew the sprites to freshen up the look. If I'm wrong then I take it back. Regardless, it is what it is and I'll have to live with it. I just really wished T7 didn't recycle so much.
She will probably keep her lucha libre move set with a few modifications I would imagine, but I kind of doubt we will see the Tekken 6 Julia. I think she will end up keep her Jaycee persona even though I wouldn't mind seeing her get her Tekken 6 appearance and her TTT2 look. I wouldn't mind seeing Julia return again, but Jaycee grew on me also, so why not both?
Well, it could be worst. At least we are not on the fourth iteration of TTT2 in 10 years.
Hi guys, just checking in.
Been busy with Diablo 3, Borderlands: Pre-Sequel, and World of Warcraft. Anyone else here have side games that they like to play when they're not playing Tekken?
You're right, if I was only talking about animations then T4 didn't necessarily add that much... BUT T4's system and flow of the match was worlds apart from T3/TTT hence it felt like a very new game.
And yes you're right that Tekken is a very iterative game... and with each iteration Namco kept improving and improving upon what worked and came up with so many wild situations that gave so many moves utility where everything eclipsed with TTT2. Now that with T7 they're getting rid of things they developed after so many years I would have expected them to at least update the things they're retaining.
The exception like Grayfox says is definitely T3. Tekken 3 wasn't just an increment over T2... it substantially changed the fundamentals of Tekken and finally graduated it into the 3rd dimension. There were also a TON of brand new movelists we got to see in T3.
But alas at this point in my life of being a Tekken fan I'm staying for the gameplay. That still looks like a lot of fun but the kid in me who was first wowed by Tekken's presentation and aesthetics can't help but feel disappointed at the lack of wow factor so far.
Technically his T6 ending shouldn't be canon. Any ending where character kills main boss is not canon unless it's Mishima. Baek definitely didn't kill Azazel like his ending shows. Probably what happens in scenario mode is canon.
Still, they could write that Baek fought Azazel and just died trying to protect Hwo.
That would suck.
Now excuse me, while I'm gonna watch some Korean movies and shamelessly beg Harada on twitter to not kill off Baek.
Yeah, I'm going to be brutally honest. Pragmatically speaking, I doubt Tekken 7 or any other Tekken will ever dethrone TTT2. I think people will continue to play TTT2 for years to come, especially if Tekken 7 is going in the direction I think it is going. People still play Tekken 6 and even Tekken 5: DR to this day, so even if TTT2 si not represented in tournaments anymore I feel that it will still be around for quite some time. TTT2 will always be for the hardcore, dedicated Tekken fanbase and Tekken 7 will most likely appeal more to the casuals/mainstream players as well as some of the the hardcore who want to try something new. Seems like a lot of my hardcore, more high level Tekken friends are not as thrilled with the direction of Tekken compared to my casual Tekken friends. We'll see what happens.
Tekken 4 actually had a lot of good ideas.
Just because it was a giant bomb doesn't mean you should totally abandon what made it interesting.
I wonder if Harada added story in that as well because afterwards....
I for one look forward to going back to 1v1. They feel more personal to the fight to me. Hell I've been going solo in Tag lately and it's damn fun. The hate mail is delicious full of super Deathfist magic Feed me your tears!
A true travesty, some of these characters need some design changes.they got Marshall looking like Forest's brother in Tekken 6/Tag 2 smh:
Honestly though... lets look at the unique moves T6 Julia has that TTT2 Julia doesn't have:
Why would they keep her as Jaycee though? Seem as unnecessary as making her JC in the first place. They can still give Julia some of JC's moves but keep her a pure chang.
Make Bow and Arrow wall splat and give her Mad-Axes back....
T6 Julia was a stupid character though.
I loved Tekken 4. Was a casual player back then so didn't even know about/care about balance issues.
Jin kinda replaced Kazuya in Tekken 3. Now that they brought back Kazuya, they gave Jin a new fighting style (Karate with some Mishima elements). TTT2 Jin is the best Jin yet.-Jin wasn't Jin anymore. Again, what the fuck.
I think they were ingenious. Way better than the square stages we got in every other Tekken. If they kept that idea and refined the stages in future titles, this could have become really great.-Walls and elevation changes were weird.
That's your opinion, although I disagree.-Music was trash compared to previous games (though I now recognize the airport theme as a bop)
I think most of TekkenGAF will disagree with you on this point. The characters need a redesign, and Tekken 4 had great character design (except for Christie).-I wasn't a fan of the redesigned characters. Paul's hair might seem refreshing looking back on it, but at the time, it just seemed like they took away what made him unique.
Tekken 4, in my opinion, had the best endings in the series. I could rewatch Hwoarang's or Jin's ending over and over again. Tekken 4 was a great game story-wise.-I don't remember any of the ending movies so I'll just assume they were crap too.
I do agree T6 Julia was a much higher tiered character. But those tools were too good. TTT2 Julia has more (but normalized) tools replacing the useless tools she had in T6 which IMO makes her a far more fun character to use.
Lol too good pshh? I played Julia in T6 and she was actually fun. She's so boring in TTT2. The tools she did have weren't pushing her past top 5 so I had no issue with her excellent wall splat capabilities and wall carry. She was just a really solid character.
With T6 Law, DJ, Steve, BOB, etc. She's quite alright lol
When I played Tekken 4 back then, I were also just a casual player. I totally digged the style and design, and absolutely loved the gameplay. Jin were the coolest fighter in any fighting game, and I loved the new characters besides Marduk, which I have never liked.
I have great memories of it but have also since learned, it had balancing issues and many other issues.
Yeah, as someone who used Julia a lot in 6 it didn't feel as fun in TTT2.
The Jaycee persona was odd and it fucked with the flow from 6 since they added those moves.
.
God damn, that Asuka reversal looked bad enough in full speed but it looks fucking terrible in slow motion.
T4 was the first Tekken game I ever played at like 8 years old so I never payed attention to its supposed shortcomings. It made me fall in love with Tekken so I guess it did something right.
On that note, in what order did you guys play the Tekken games? I went from T4 -> Tekken Advance -> T5DR PSP -> T5 -> T4 again -> TTT1 -> T5DR PS3 -> T6 then TTT2.

T4 deep voice Lee

T4 military Hwoarang
T4 hair coming out the back of the mask King
T4 pimp gear Eddy
T4 shades on a default costume Kazuya
T4 Mokujin style Combot
T4 t-shirt Kuma
T4 nonexistent Lars
Everyone was how they always should have been

Perfect Input's Ortega has found another interesting bug in TTT2. When King ends a combo with a jab into the crouch throw after the bound, the game resets the tag cancel property and takes away the entire red bar. You can see this exhibited in the online match videos recorded above.

I flet like most of the changes were so she could better compliment the tag system which is ok for TTT2 but she didn't feel like a proper chang so I typically stuck with sorry ass Michelle.

I think AAK's right, everyday I just find myself wanting to play more Tag 2. It's a good game.
AAK hope off of that SoulCalibur.

So TTT2 is really your first Tekken game. Wonder why you didn't pick up Tekken earlier.My entire Tekken experience:
1) T1: Watched friends play this a bit on PS1. It was "the game with Bruce Lee in it" to me.
2) T2: Fiddled with this a bunch at PS1 demo stations in department stores. Was sad Law wasn't in it.
3) T5: Friend brought this over to my house to show me the character with Ippo's Dempsey Roll. I mashed buttons with Hwo for a little bit.
4) T5DR: Bought a month before SFxT to see what the Tekken characters were like in prep of that game.
5) T6: Came away from SFxT more interested in Tekken, bought this to prep for TTT2 but didn't play much due to spending most of my time with VF5:FS.
6) TTT2: Last fighting game I've purchased and pretty much the only PS3 game I play now.

Yeah, I have to agree with Sasuke.Balance wasn't the only thing wrong with T4.
-19 characters was honestly shocking to me coming off of TTT.
-The 2 new characters were, at that point, the worst in the series and they replaced Eddy with some random slut.
-The final boss was Heihachi in a thong. What the fuck. I was flabbergasted.
-They got rid of half the throws and replaced them with a universal shove thing. What the fuck.
-Jin wasn't Jin anymore. Again, what the fuck.
-Walls and elevation changes were weird.
-Music was trash compared to previous games (though I now recognize the airport theme as a bop)
-I wasn't a fan of the redesigned characters. Paul's hair might seem refreshing looking back on it, but at the time, it just seemed like they took away what made him unique.
-I don't remember any of the ending movies so I'll just assume they were crap too.
-Lack of Tekken Ball/Tekken Bowl style minigame.
I was so disgusted by Tekken 4 back then. No game has ever left such a sour taste in my mouth.

They didn't get rid of throws in T4 the 1+3 ones were done by 2+4 F. But I can't remember what the break was. Like if it was also 2, that made them pretty useless.
DEATH;134680879 said:Based on TZ movelist, 2+4F is still a 2 break... so unless its a command throw, you dont have to worry about 1 break aside near wall
