Anyone gonna play Tekken Tag 2? I know you lot are allergic to 3D fighters, but Tekken Tag is pretty fast-paced and actually entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, my low-tier bitch condition flared up and Jun/Asuka apparently suck in this game. Not that Jun was good in TTT, quite the opposite. Fuckin' Mishimas.

I will definitely be playing. I'm still scrubby as hell in T6 but I have access to some good local players so hopefully I can level up more in preparation for TTT2. To further amplify the stereotype Brosnan posted I'm most likely going to be playing Jin/Jun because I am a horrible person with no clue that hates everything that has to do with making good rational decisions regarding character picks.

Is it based on the Victor Hugo novel?

She did quite well at CC2011 and I believe she did quite well in her money matches as well. Think quite a few guys lost money to her thinking it'd be an easy win. Her execution has really improved.

It doesn't really play bad at all. It's not super original or exciting, but it works okay and is reasonably fun. If you like the series the game is based on, you'll probably like the game.


Also Ange is kinda meh? At least in recent versions anyway. Stun is pretty weak in general in Ougon (damage scaling doesn't reset), and Ange's moveset is pretty mediocre to begin with. I didn't play any of the really early versions of the game though and I guess damage scaling was different back then.

Eva/Lucifer sure, they're both real good.

We just found out today there's a PC demo coming out Dec. 12th! Supposedly it's coming with netplay enabled to help the devs test it out.

I'm not sure about any 360 release of it, but it's coming to PC on Dec. 31, packaged with Carnival Phantasm Season 3.

There's supposed to be some announcement on Dec. 10th from the devs as well.

The only problem is how much getting it will cost...

Hopefully the devs figure out some other option so I can buy it without having to blow $170+ :smith:

Yes the 360 version is region locked. The PC version is an older version that's missing a couple of characters, but there's an expansion coming out in December that will include them and a bunch of other new characters. Dunno if there's an expansion planned for the 360 version or not yet.

I didn't play any of the really early versions of the game though and I guess damage scaling was different back then.

Ange has a unblockable after sweep, and her projectiles don't go away when she gets hit. They nerfed the speed of her projectiles over and over again. I think how good Ange is really depends on the matchup if they don't have a good tool to get in and if they don't have a good reversal they are in big trouble.

My general gameplan right now is lucifer on point, once I actually get a solid hit tag out combo end in lv2 super for instant stun(well it depends otherwise I'll just sweep), jump in 1-2-sweep, cancel as late as possible 214 A, dash suplex, if you jump you get hit if you hit me you get hit, if you backdash you get hit, if you stand still you get thrown. Reversaling out works but those arn't super abundant in Ougon.

I'm still kinda mad they never fixed Lucifers infinite in the corner the one that used 5A,j.C over and over and over again.

How do you feel about Jessica she feels alright to me, I havn't played it too much after she came out though.

I don't think you can repeat the unblockable setup though can you? It's not really that much damage to eat by itself unless I'm missing something. Also, isn't 236S a reversal?

I haven't touched Jessica at all yet, KoF13 came out and all that. :I

It depends, if they mashed/jumped out then 214A hits then you just sweep. 236S trades with the 214A, and is a valid escape out sorta but you put yourself at range against Ange which normally isn't a good idea not to mention if Ange predicts a 236S or a backdash your in trouble.

I meant like a reversal that gets you out of the way,214A's hitbox lasts forever. It's a bonus like anywhere from 500-1k damage and still leads into Ange's really strong oki game. It's pretty much guaranteed damage, with the only real escape being to eat the grapple(which you could super grapple instead), or to backdash which if you predict it you can just sweep then setup again. What makes the setup so scary is you can just instead of going for the 100% chance of damage block one of their escape attempts instead and do big damage and set it up again.

I guess I shouldn't say unblockable and more say completely bullshit oki she gets off sweep.

But yeah KOF13, I really only played Ougon when people weren't up for Soku and all the Tv's were being used.

I'll have to mess with it some more next time I play. I didn't give it too much credit at the time because the damage from the throw is pretty low by itself, and I felt like other characters could get better guaranteed damage with regular combos than Ange could settling for resets.

Do you usually just leave her in long enough to do her dumb oki and then get her back out again? Maybe my mistake was using her on point too much.
