LOLSome characters are absolutely devastating when they have rage. One bad read from you and a well timed one-hit "UHSSS!!" from your opponent as Paul Phoenix in rage could mean losing nearly half your life
I like fighting against him because he doesn't have the stance- and crush move bullshit of the animal or Capoeira characters in the game. I always laugh whether I win or lose a round due to some launcher or a heavy mid that sends the hit-receiver into orbit with a face that looks like when you are taking a massive dump. "K.O!" and the slow motion recap is so cool. I am always happy to see some un-manly character like Leo get shot against the wall.
A.Ogre is creepy ... he just stares you down till you die.
I love King in this game. He has combos that look like they finish, but you can dash in and pick them up d1+3, for example.
Yeah I figured that as well. Bruce was the first main I picked up, mostly cause he was my main in Tekken 2 and now apparantly he is near top tier? I also use Nina and King who I also enjoy, and one is supposed to be really good and KING is supposedly bottom tier? I think I saw that here, that list, but im not sure where the source for it is from.
he is.... because of how the game works in tag. He doesn't have good vitality drain... and his combo damage is pretty lame compared to the rest of the group.
I think to get the most out of KING is you have to end his combos in grabs that are combo grabs in their own right. He has a lot of moves, like the most in the game and you probably need to know a LOT of them to get the most out of him. He's probably more suited to single player, however I just love his move set. I just wish he had AK's Jackhammer grab.
Jinpachi is basically all punishment and basic poking until you put yourself -10 or more. He knocks down as early as jab punishment, and launches at 14f for both standing and from crouch.
Poking for 95 damage is quite nice, lol.
Tha God of Fighting don't give no fucks 'bout your rage son! You see ma shiiieel? Inconsistent infinity kicks, yeeeaaaaaahhhhs! WR+3,3,D/F,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3... wallstun, tha smart stuff!
I wouldn't look too deeply into it, it's probably the intricacies of the tag system that hinder him more than his own tools. Sure you need to take risks and gimmicks to be efficient with King, but it's nothing we weren't fishing for in T6 or even DR. Granted, I don't know what the consensus was for him in Tekken Tag 1, I started playing him around vanilla T5.
Lars to Tekken is pretty much what Kenshi is to MK9. U/F+3 had hella range, could lead to insane damage in the corner and was deceivingly safe. (not sure if any properties were changed in TTT2, I'll have to grind him later) People actually tier him based on how "easy" he is to use efficiently, which is my main issue with the Tekken community, they're sound as a pound, but let themselves get wound up by the pettiest shit lol.
Heihachi has similar tools to Jinpachi, except he is safer, better close range mix-ups, but less range. I am going to be using both of them alternatively with Bruce starting as my 1st. I definitely see more potential in Heihachi than Jinpachi. If I can one day play a true Mishima character with a wavedash effectively, then execution of any character should not be a problem for me in this game.
I do. A lot of the top players also play pad. It's all preference.
Yeah, Bruce is basically immune to reversals.
I main baek and I like him a lot. Apparently he's worse than t6, but seems solid to me.
