The Tekken Tag 2 Thread

I honestly don't remember because I came into 5 late when DR came out, but I did hear that he had a corner Dempsey Roll infinite.

This is correct.

I thought it was vanilla T5 Steve that was ridiculous cuz he had an infinite?

That was only one of the main things he could do, and even that had to be done on the side after his 3~1,1 connected. This infinite is also in T4, but in the form of 3~1,1, 3~1,1, and this can be done in T5...

Anyway, T5 Steve had the best low hit punisher in the game, ws+1,2, and the best wall ender for combos (I can't remember it off the bat). If he had you on the corner, he could do b+3~1+2 and push you to the wall, guaranteeing a free 1,2,1 or something worse if I remember correctly. Steve also was able to take you to the wall with nothing more than flicker hits and f+2,1~b. Oh yeah, his 2+4 throw automatically gave a guarantee hits if moved at all on wakeup... There's a bunch of other crap that I can't remember, but this should be enough to let you see why he's ridiculous... He's been really strong in every Tekken except 5.1...

Don't forget his fd+2 launcher, it didn't even need to be a counter hit to launch, and yes they fixed that in 5.1

Oh yeah that friggin' thing... He had setups that revolved around that alone... Also, he could b+3~1+2 you to the wall, and if you weren't careful, df+2 was there to start the wall combo at times... His 4~2 was great too, especially after specific strings it made it the quick and easy noob killer...

Then they gave him sway~f+2 setups... So he could basically poke, and bait a high or mid to whiff, and guarantee a high launcher...

But whatever with all of that... Feng b+4'ed him all day, and had CH b+1 with followups...

So--- P.Jack in TTT2, I can't wait!!! (starts doing the P.Jack dance)

Hmm...and Harada did say he wants 50+ for TTT2, and we're at 44 now.  That would give him a quick way to boost the number of characters.  And it's not a bad line of thinking, when making a tag game or a game where players are forced to play multiple characters, it doesn't hurt to have some play similarly (though the irony now being that he's deciding to do this for TTT2 AFTER already implementing a way to let players only play one character).

I've been thinking about this and i'm guessing they'll make some changes to the "clone" characters so they're not as similar as they're previous versions in order to provide a bit more of variation and will also function as a sort of intermediary step between using a single character and a team so people can start out by using a similar character and get used to the team mechanics and possibly move on and learn another character sometime in the future.

As long as P.Jack still has his uppercut launcher and his normal stance, and Kunimitsu has her unblockable moves, I have no issues with any other changes...

New TTT2 characters announced at E3.  Start the countdown to Proto orgasming over Kunimitsu.

[Delta]

Just hoping they keep the clones (gameplay or design-wise) to a minimun.

[baccano1932]

Well no surprise that E3 will be the debut for character reveals, just hope they space out the clone announcements so that there isn't a set of announcements thats just clone type characters.
