So who is everyone using? I'm liking Law and Paul right now. Law is really sick and he's A LOT like Liu Kang in MK9. Paul is good as well he just has shitty walking speed, but then again so does about every character. The only problem with this team is lack of reliable anti-airs. It's really annoying when you can't aa the constant noobs who just jump all day. Makes you just wanna use Ryu. I'm gonna take this slow and use every character to get a better feel for who I want to use and the game in general. Some of the Tekken characters are going to require some definite time because they have so many tools and shit to memorize.

Loving the game. The online is not so good right now but I expect a patch. I did play 1 vs 2 in a ranked match (me vs two players), so I dunno why people are saying you can't do that. This game seems really footsie based, so overall playing online is gonna be tough.

My biggest complaint is that the text is way too small. It's just like the MKAK. It's as if they only tested it out on a huge HD screen and not SD TV's. I mean I can't even make out any of the numbers in training mode for the damage. I really don't see the point in making it so small, it really is annoying.

Minor complaints:

- I don't like the new voices. Characters seem to have less audio and it gets very repetitive after a while.

- Characters only have 1 taunt and I don't like mine. :( (I'm almost hoping for DLC taunts rofl)

- Too many awesome characters. It will take me months just to decide on a second main and sub!

- The ending was disappointing. But that's to be expected for a fighting game. I was still hoping for more artwork/animations I guess..

Otherwise it's a pretty good game.

Damage output is ridiculous lol I'm already finding 600 damage combos for my character.

I haven't played online yet. Just did all trials, beat arcade and spent a lot of time in training mode getting a feel of the system. I'm starting to get used to it.

I heard that it's a generic ending unless you use one of the premade teams (like Ryu and Ken,) then they get their own ending.





Also the netcode has been really great for me so far. I'm usually the biggest online hater ever too.

Pandora doesn't seem like it will be used at all really, it's only good in really specific situations. And Gems are actually good, but they aren't a major factor and lame like people originally thought.

The best time to activate pandora is after your opponent activates pandora LOL.

You get a lot more life and you waste time, plus you can't time out, because they'll time out first!

Question - are they allowing gems In tournament play?

Dan, I'm waiting for a finalized answer to this as well... So far what I'm hearing as the best solution may be 2 standardized sets of gems(1 assist set and one defense set) that both players will have access to and no more than that.


As per Ponder from SRK: "IMO, we should define a two Tournament Standard gem loadouts and only let players choose between those two."

Capcom is actually proposing the best solution to the situation. USB loadable gems. Its supposed to be patched in soon.

And 60% combos are fine honestly in this game, because all it takes is a defense gem to activate and reduce that dmg down to like 40%.

About the 2v2 coop on xbox, yeah capcom either doesn't know how to do shit or just lying to covering their ass. I'm not sure which one yet.

What exactly are gems and pandora? Sorry im a total SF scrub but I wanna get into this game.

In this game there is a subsystem call gems. Gems are exactly that, they are gems you can equip on a character and when they activate they give certain specific properties for a limit amount of time. An example "block 10 attacks and get 10% defense for 15 sec". You can only equip up to 3 gems and they only proc once per round I believe.

Pandora is another subsystem. You sacrifice a character to powerup the 2nd character with more damage and auto-fill meter (doesn't autofill during combos) BUT there is a timer ticking down (its like 6-7 sec) and if you don't kill anybody within those 6-7 seconds you lose. Its really nothing more than a gimmick but it can work pending on the situation.
