Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Discussion Thread

I should be there for 3.

Got people coming over today, can't make it sorry

Maz pls ;_;

:pac:

Nah Ultra is far more popular here, same case with most places worldwide.

I'll do up a wee RFD post.

So my pools consisted of Isawayto from Holland (Raven/Lars) Enzo (Ancient Ogre/Wang) and Desariel (Alisa/Jinpachi), top German player. Desariel (this guy is hella buff for an Alisa player) was late for his pool, so people assumed the Germans got DQ'ed, I won my matches vs Isawayto and Enzo, both 2-0 then I lost 1-2 vs Desarial who arrived on time but since top 2 advanced through anyway, it didn't matter. Myself and Desarial made it through.

First match in brackets was vs Sofiane from Holland, Kazuya/Heihachi, I lost 1-3 vs him so I got sent to losers in the first round.

Then my next match was vs Hasaldo, also known as DivineJinKazama, one of better players in Holland. I won that one 3-2, went down to the last round, managed to get cancans in to win the round.

Then I played vs my own teammate, SpaghettiRip/Hassan, Christie/Law, I won that one 3-1, was a bit annoying having to knock a fellow CKT member out

After that, I had to play Kyoko Manji from Holland (got so many dutch opps), prob 2nd best there and he's Yoshi and Raven of EU, I won that set 3-1, he got a bit salty over Jun afterwards

Then I had to play Angelo, Kyoko's student, Raven/Kunimitsu (Holland has so many ninja chars omg), I won that one 3-0.

Then.... : (

I got Kalak (Lili/Leo), who I was so sure I was going to beat since I did really well vs him at UT, it went down to 2-2, last round, I choked up big time and did silly things and he punished me for it, and eliminated me thus securing me 5th place. We invited some people over to our apartment to play some after tourney casuals, Kalak being one of them and I managed to win our runback set \o/

I managed to get a set in with Sephiblack (Jin/Miguel) in casuals, went down to the very final round (this seems to be a trend), last 10% health each, we were just dancing around trying to find a way then I just ate Miguels shoulder charge and died, rip.

Overall it was a really fun event, so many top players there to play in casuals, really surprised with my placement, bit surreal studying actual top tier players playing their matches in case they were my potential opponents in the top 8.

Tissuemon... he was staying with us at the apartment over the 3 days, and he is a beast. I have no idea how he lost like he did in the tournament, his whiff punishing is insane, he was whiff punishing my Asuka ss4 and b4 and that's pretty fast recovery wise.

Didn't get to play Malekith again

@Aaron, had a look around myself, it seems to be selling out alright : (

I'll look again tomorrow and I'll link it to you on fb if I find something good.

@pdomara, excellent! Looking forward to playing you.

I like fighting people who just bdc as Asuka, they underestimate her db3 range >: ) then they're just locked down with db3/d2

I haven't played many Yoshis, only notable ones were evildice's from italy, kaneandtrench's Yoshi from UK and yours even tho we haven't played that much, but I prefer Kyoko's out of all of em (no offense intended) what other Yoshis are there?

Lee/Violet are not that strong, they really struggle with opening turtles up, and the way TTT2 works in terms of the neutral/meta-game where poke chars have to poke down one char then the opp tags and the momentum shifts because the lifelead has swapped.

Lee is one of the more affected chars by that change in the meta-game, however you could argue that TTT2 has made him decent indirectly purely due to his carry potential and his TA fillers. But as a character on his own, he is pretty weak.

Changs are significantly stronger than where you placed them, I would swap Changs with Violee on that list, maybe Violee even lower than that, Changs are ridiculous in this game, due to how well they can dictate the pace of the match, they can be really defensive with just ff1, d3, magic 4, shotguns or go ham with the wardrums/fc mixup/high reward mid launchers/strong throws (especially Michelle). A good Chang player will be extremely hard to take health off and to keep the lifelead vs. Maybe the bottom of top 10 or slightly higher.

I'd swap Bryan or AK with Asuka, it's really silly how underrated Asuka is in this game.

Junknown is a little too high, they don't control space as well as Asuka can, so I'd swap Lili and Jack-6 with Junknown.

Tiger isn't that horrible, he might not have b1,4 but he still has the RLX 50/50, df2, good throws, ss4 etc. I'd swap him with Kuni, Kuni is so so so bad in this game, she has really ****ty lows and really bad oki off her throws, and she doesn't even have a 1+2 break grab unless paired with Yoshi.

P-Jack is really bad compared to JAck 6, the range difference is pretty big, not only for poking but P-Jack also has weaker combos due to shorter limbs, I'd put him down where AO/Baek and co. are.

Anna is a really weird character to place on a list, because she really really depends on the player and how good they are at reading, because if you have Anna with a partner that lets her do 50% combos off her 50/50, and sets it up for her you have a really fking scary character.

^ That's my list (the rows aren't ordered, so eg Lars isn't better than Nina and Nina isn't better than Bruce etc.)
