Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Discussion Thread

A little.

Sebastian's pose looks weird. It kinda forces me to think he is Lili's martial arts teacher. (Sebastian, can't you do better than this?)
But seriously, if he's gonna do saltos and **** like Lili does, he will look terribly freaky. I hope he has different moves and they are manly-ed up.

Ok lads!
When is this **** coming out for PS3? I am willing to play if somebody teaches me. (In XGC.) Just for the fun of it.

It's officially out on friday, but you might get lucky and get it a day early with some shops.

Its out as of today in the USA, anyone know why none of the major sites like IGN and Gamespot have a review up yet ? , theres a few independent reviews but none of them show how good the netcode is.

batman_oh

I might avoid playing it online anyway. Tekken 6 just made me want to smash things and was never anything other than annoying. No enjoyment from playing it online at all suffering the lag abuse lows/strings etc

Gotta get the stick sorted for the release

BigStupidGuy

yep, no matter how good the netcode is you can bet it'll still be annoying to play online.

Online's only good for building on your character knowledge and for spacing.

So, who's going to this pre-release tourney tomorrow?
And where?

Sadly, its also some peoples only option to play against other players if you live in a part of the country with no scene and/or also have too many real life commitments to attend one regardless.

If the netcode sucks, Im basicly reduced to fighting the CPU, which means waiting till it hits the bargin bins. If its good, it means a pre order right now.

You could always troll online with King to get your money's worth?

All reports over on TBZ and Neogaf report the netcode as extremely solid, not surprising really as its based on the SC5 netcode

The review embargo in America ends in half an hour. Reviews online will be popping up here and there later today.

BigStupidGuy

I'm totally up for playing online and offline.

PSN = skeering

Maybe we should do casuals on Friday since that's when we'll all be in collecting the game? But then again maybe better to just collect it on Saturday and have casuals at the normal time. I'll only come in one day, so unless the gamestop tournament is on Friday I'll wait till Saturday to play it with you guys!

Fergus_

I'll try and attend casuals on Saturday as well.

J0hnick

How much are gamestop selling it for ?, I could get it form Amazon for cheaper but I also want it day 1.

Fergus_

BTW, which consoles did you guys get this for? I got it for Xbox.

BigStupidGuy

PS3; because I don't have a hdmi port for my xbox and I wanna appreciate the graphic designers hard work

Newaglish

I'm getting it on PS3 anyway. I could be around for casuals on Saturday although I possibly have a conflict during the early/mid afternoon. Will be working Friday so could only do the evening really but it wouldn't be ideal!

J0hnick

First reviews are starting to come in

Newaglish

I have a tag (rugby not Tekken!) blitz on Saturday so I'm only free in the evening if anyone is around. Otherwise you can catch me online

batman_oh

Will probably be online Saturday evening as herself is away
Anybody on PSN add me: godfistedkaz

Ramza

My XBL runs out on September 16th so you can bet I'll be rinsing this game for the 48 hours after release till I'm back on Silver (aka making another gold account for a free month :pac: )
