[PS3/360/WiiU] Tekken Tag Tournament 2

[Xagzan]

I did it at Gamestop, which I believe gets you day 1 access to everything that was announced before. I'm just not sure how these four new characters fit in to that.

oh well, at least they're free

thanks Good Guy Harada
I wanted Miharu though orz

I'd like to think that Miharu will still make it in, everyone announced in this trailer is a clone... they really wouldn't have to do much to add Miharu at this point, I really wouldn't be surprised if they announced her with some other characters and Unknown later on since even Tiger and Shin Kamiya (though a pallette swap) made it in (and she appeared briefly in the last trailer). At least I hope so, it wouldn't be the biggest deal if she was left out but I do like Miharu and would like to see her playable again. ^^;

I don't really understand the complete re-haul they did with Kunimitsu, Michelle, and Angel's designs... and yet they just kept Forest, and the other guys the exact same. I really can't complain at this point since this game is basically fanservice on top of fanservice... it's just something I find odd.

Yup, according to Harada's tweet. We'll have more characters and stages.

For the design, Tiger's got a minor revision. Maybe they don't feel the need to update the designs since it's already iconic anyway. Since Tekken 5, most of the characters design stay the same, right?

Anyway, people said that these new characters aren't palette swaps and they have a slightly different moveset as well. (There's an extended clip from the Japan Expo Press Conference, we can see that they can tag with their similar characters). Though Miharu and Shin (if they'll be included too) might still be a mere palette swap.

I don't know whether these new characters are to be included or also DLC (haven't seen anything that mentions about DLC). If they're going to be another free DLCs, I think there might be some new preorder options too.

^ whats the ratio so far?

[kenjiharima]

The great thing about clone characters in Tekken is that whenever you play them in recent Tekken installments they play differently and feel different.

As I've seen in the trailer, seems Forest Law is faster retains the old animations of Marshall Law Tekken5.

What ratio? male : female fighters?
So far we have 54 characters... and 16 of them are females (or maybe 18 if we're to include Roger's Mom and female Mokujin ). That makes about 3 : 1.

New stages, if you guys haven't seen them. Phillipines, Spain, France, and Holland.

[kenjiharima]

Whao! New stages!

Philippines stage demo seems to me now Paul and Steve are the current team, also the TIME ZONE on the background as I know it's a popular arcade in the Philippines.

Spain stage wish there was an option where you can get hit and slamed into the bar, Leo and Miguel has no partners? Hmm...wonder why?

France stage looks familiar I just can't put my finger on it....Sisters teaming up and rivals, both pair don't along that well.

Holland stage well windmill, tulips...the stereotype "tourisim" stage. Loving P.Jack spinning fists. Almost every move with P.Jack makes the opponent spin or part of him spin.

[xip]

My favorite new stage is holland, looks beautiful. What's up with the philippines stage? why couldn't they just pick one of its popular tourist destination instead of this ghetto looking road or some shit?

Probably Manila's busy street.

I think they will be free
didn't Harada mentioned before that DLCs would be free?

Seriously, just saw on IGN yesterday that those twelve DLC characters for SFXT are going to be purchasable early for $20. You gotta laugh at how they are still doing that even after the shitstorm it caused when it was first revealed there was on-disc content you'd have to pay extra to unlock.

Meanwhile, Tekken keeps announcing new DLC, all of it free.

[Okashira]

All the 4 stages are nods to places where Tekken is actually a big hit. It's a mistake of them to "surmise" the Spanish speaking community with Spain, but it's not like they know just how complicated things are simply by reading things from the outside.

I heard this rumor that Harada said that these 4 aren't even DLC and are simply already included in the disk along the regular cast.

Yeah of course
What I meant that we don't know whether the new 4 characters are also free DLC or not (already part of the main roster, so everyone can play them by the time the game came out). But it doesn't really matter IMO

Those new 4 really have original moves alright.

It's said that characters and stages will be free, and if there are going to be any paid DLCs, it would be something like costumes.

Also, based on the last trailer, seems like the customization system is still the same as the arcade one (only head, upper, and lower body, unlike T6's layered clothing).

Hopefully the rumor of Shunya Yamashita costumes is correct, then

[kenjiharima]

^
Capcom is now CA$H-COM with their bad dlc practices.

A good practice is like what Harada is doing banking on the first day buy with the dlc there.

I couldn't say the same for Soul Calibur though....

ohhhh
well, hopefully they're already in it. I wouldn't wanna wait too long to use them

new moves looked like reanimation though. But who cares

the females would certainly have some interesting costumes if that were the case

Not really in my pov, because they focused on the gameplay and the costumes only in SCV it lacked alot in story. All characters have no endings when you finish them, main storyline on focuses on only 2 characters, other characters don't get that much development or air time and lastly even though the gameplay is indeed better in SCV they've taken out some moves that where in SCV.

unlike Tekken every tekken game has a solid ending for each character even though some are for comedic purposes.

I haven't played SCV itself but if the other characters doesn't really have anything to do with the main plot, of course they'd be left out at some point. But of course, they need closure. If they're suddenly gone without a reason then that's the writers' fault. Sometimes, other characters have something called sub-plots. Plots that are not really part of the major plot

for instance, here on Tekken, we have King-Armor King story.

moves come and go. If they're inbalanced or too useless, they change/nerf/buff/remove it
much like Tekken and most of the fighting games out there
I don't see anything wrong with this
if fans complain, then it would be back the next game if the company listens

as for the endings, as I've said I haven't played it yet so I don't know
complain like how the FFXIII-2 fans are complaining

Story isn't really that much important on fighting games. It doesn't really make any sense most of the time.
If you want to find a game with plot, go play an RPG or something lol :heh
