I'm not saying TT2 AND T6 were not deep fighters. They are. The problem lies with the monotony online looking for easy wins with lag I guess. If you compare it to KOF XIII it would be like going online and whether you had lag or not everybody wants to just throw fireballs to win. Can you get around it? Yes. Are you winning? Yes. Is it any fun to stop the same crap over and over? No. When it was only a couple of stupid characters you can overlook it cause most did not feel a compulsion to play one. The original TT you had Eddy, Jun, Devil Kazuya (laser), and Baek. Now there's those characters plus LiLi, Asuka, Devil Jin (laser), Christie, and Alisa. Out of 59 characters there are only 9 I would consider a beginner spam type (I could be missing a few but those are the main ones I see spammed). That's not that bad, but that's also close to what MVC2 ran with for high level play. So, I'm sure that's enough to where spammers get a variety and the players who want to learn, play, and have fun with the game get to sit here and beat down the same B.S. game in and game out. That's why I say it can get boring to a point to limiting how much time you spend on it. I, by all means, do not feel that this game is not worth the money or that there isn't a deep fighting system in it as well. IT's a great game just catering to beginners has it's drawbacks.
Nothing really special about them in my opinion.
As for the game, it is a good game. I can't think of any one thing that is wrong with the game. But I'm all ready bored with the game. I thought the Tag mechanics would change the game enough from T6 but it hasn't. I think some of it is the characters to me are just boring. I can't figure out what it is about this game and T6, they're just not fun to me.
In my opinion the difference I see in T6 and TT2 compared to a T5DR is the sheer amount of characters that are easy to spam the same crap and get away with winning. I can understand why thatt is with the push to get new blood in, but for players who played Tekken for a long time you go online and see the same crap over and over. After a while it just seems monotonous. I am aso not saying games before T6 didn't have EO characters but the more of them you throw in the more people will use them. Eventually you flood a game with them and the game gets tiring.
Again it's just my 2 cents on it but that's what I see and my reason why I only play Tekken here and there compared to what I used to.
A lot of the characters are very similar, they have a few wrinkles that can make them play differently though. For me the fighting in T6 and this is just boring. It's just disappointing because there really isn't anything wrong with the game.
As for the swimsuits, they're just ordinary swimsuits. Each character has one model of the swimsuit, with three different colors. Just nothing special about them.
The stuff with Kunimitsu and Ancient Orge was bound to happen. There is only so much you can test before a games release or in this case day one DLC characters. These things can only be found by hours of play in matches or in training mode. I haven't watched the vids yet, but from reading, Kunimitsu only ducks under some mids. I don't see it as much of a problem as I do the infinite. I'll be interesting to see what Namco does, as of now it's not the big of a deal. If we're talking about it a couple months from now, then we might have a problem.Personally I feel the infinite is rather situational and isn't a huge problem, whereas with Kunimitsu now a whiffed mid that is supposed to hit can now potentially be launch punished and deal out a boatload of completly unwarranted damage.
I've only played one ranked match so I don't know about the skill levels in it. I've had some mixed days with this game online now. When you get someone who is on wireless I can tell. Wired it plays smoothly for me 2-5 bars, and sometimes on 1 bar.
Just curious did anybody else's weekend matches feel like they were playing on Tekken 6 netcode again? Dunno if my internet just sucked or what but the delay on the matches this weekend was horrible. Love watching people spamming the same move over and over or hitting you while you are down and can't get back up in time for the win. Good times.Some of my matches were ridiculously bad like people were very intentionally exploiting bad lag and played in a manner that clearly sent off a bunch of red flags in my head about a large number of people who play the game online.
Looking at the Kuni whiff video, is it bad of me to think there isn't a problem with it since it actually looks like those should whiff? Xiaoyu looks to be in-range of the mids, and Kuni doesn't. If Kunimitsu is in the strategy guide, can anyone check to see if she's supposed to be able to whiff those?The way a move animates and the level in which it hits are completly different things as there are numerous moves that look like a low hitting move that are mids, there are moves that look like high hitting moves that are mids and so on. So in other words the way moves look and act are different things. As well the fact that mids whiff on her and no one else not only violates a core mechanic of the game but also gives Kunimitsu a ridiculous advantage that no other character has.
On 360 the usual mixed bag. When it's going well it plays great. However I've had the will not sync no matter what and as I call it fun lag meaning something on my end added extra lag just for TT2. Played other games and it was fine. Certain games end up doing that to me from time to time. All in all better then T6.
Thats true but pretty much anything other KOF XII levels of lag would be better than Tekken 6's online. So yeah just be careful about who you play and as well from my experience your better off playing player matches since you get to pick who you want to play and for me the matching in ranked takes way longer than in other games, like almost as long as Third Strike online did.
The Ranked matches wasn't horrible for me. The only problem I see if you call it that is right now on the 360 a lot of better players are hanging on the ranked matches so if you are still learning be warned in going on ranked and stick with player. If you don't have the new tag combos down it gets like KOF XIII when you play someone who knows how to combo. One mistake and it's hard to come back from it.

So how has the online been for everyone so far? I've played a few games including a person in Taiwan and it was pretty solid. Was playing in player matches, I got owned pretty badly. Wouldn't mind trying to play some games with some of you if you're on PS3.
Since my last question got no answers in this thread, now I want to ask: do you guys follow KOF XIII streams and players often, and if so, which streams/players and have you learned anything significant from them?
How do you pick your characters in the game? what are your standards? Did you pick a character which you like but he/she doesn't suit you (it happened to me and I HATE IT!).
So this game comes out in a week guys. WHY IS THERE NO HYPE?
Personally cause the first thing people heard was the engine is based on Tekken 6. I don't think Tekken 6 was as well received as Tekken 5DR and the population is doing a wait and see on it. I could be wrong, but early on I heard a lot of grumbles about this.
Tekken is Tekken to me.
Only things that really bothered me about T6 was the way bound combo's worked and of course, the rage, but I don't think rage is that huge a deciding factor at making comebacks compared to some other gimmicks out there.
I liked T6 for what it was, but I definitely preferred the T5/DR formula more.
