Beginner Resources

The ATP frame data is confusing, I’m guessing because it has been translated?

Is there any frame data which lists if each move is a mid/high etc?

Hello Boys and Girls.
Today I wanna talk about a game called Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
In this game there’s a character called Eddie.
Say hello Eddie!
"Ola"
If you play this game you probably really really hate Eddie.
But that’s only because you don’t know how to beat him.
So now I will show you the ultimate guide to how to beat Eddie.
Yeeeaaahhh.

Please make this

  1. Eddy.
  2. I already covered this long ago-

Oh trust me I like that one even more than How To Beat Sentinel, it was just an example.

Do you guys know any beginner characters? I want to pick up Hwoarang because I played him is SFxT but he looks kinda difficult because of all his stances.(Right Flamingo, Left Flamingo, Right stance etc)

Not exactly a pro at Tekken but I think Lee Chaolan would be good. The only “complicated” thing about him is mist step cancels during juggles (which aren’t really that hard anyway since his mist step is just forward, neutral), and remembering which moves cancel into his hitman stance (you don’t really use the attacks from hitman that often though, I think it’s just used to help make certain attacks safer or allow for an earlier cancel into his mist step launcher).

Lee requires great execution, about the same as the mishimas I’d say. He’s also a turtle by nature so you have to keep the lead in life.

Well, that shows how much I need to learn about the game then. :slight_smile:

He just seems more lenient in execution compared to the Mishimas because his mist step is just tapping forward. But you’re much more experienced than me so you can probably think of a better choice for a beginner character.

You can do your carry with 12~f but it does 2 hits every time so it’s limited. What a real Lee player needs to learn is to do b+2~f instead and despite the motion being annoying, the timing is hard since b+2 is much slower than a jab. I don’t know how much of it is still relevant here but his WS punishers also require execution. Getting a juggle after ws+23, and doing u/f+4 from crouch. (done as u, u/f+4 in a sliding motion)

Anyway don’t just take my word for it, go watch high level matches to confirm it. I don’t follow all the characters myself so I may be outdated sometimes.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. I’ve just been doing left right to mist step into a bound move into pulse blast for combos instead because it’s a lot easier. I can see how doing the other one is more effective though…but it is a lot harder to do consistently.

And sorry, I’m not very familiar with Tekken notations…what does WS stand for? And 1 is left punch, 2 right punch, 3 left kick, 4 right kick, correct?

In Japan etc. they use number notation for every FG, and the buttons in Tekken are LP RP LK RK. In TekkenZaibatsu.com they adopted half of the American SF notations (b,f,u,d) and they call the buttons 1(LP),2(RP),3(LK),4(RK),5(tag).

does team order really matter in this game? like if a character is better as a lead or anchor?

It could matter if you like to use one character in a tag assault for wall carry. Jack 6 has a good relaunch with his auto option TA.

If you are going serious business, put your best character in the front, because if the front character does really bad the partner won’t even get to play.
I do the opposite ATM because I’m learning a new character.

WS means while standing. The transitioning from crouch to standing.

As a christie player since she was introduced , Thats the funniest Greatiest tekken video on earth to me LOL

:eek: I would recommend Paul and Asuka. Maybe not as a team, but as beginning characters.

You have a good mix of safety, unsafe moves, strong moves, crushes, reversals, sabakis and cancels without either character being too deep into any of those things. They have a little bit of everything and can teach you about most nuances of the Tekken system whereas most characters focus on a few areas. These cats are good to help you get into the shallow end of the Tekken pool until you’re ready to swim further out. :smiley:

I need to find a second character with Devil Jin. I’m new to Tekken but I don’t mind just frame moves since I’m a training mode monster. So far I’m debating between Heihachi and Lars because their Tag Assault fillers are pretty practical. I liked Feng in T6 but I’m not sure how much he’d help with combos.

You can’t go wrong with Lars, he can have a high skill cap (although at a basic level he still excels), but it’s not nearly as high as a mishima. The benefit of DJ/Heihachi would be that they play very similarly so the transition between the two characters wouldn’t be hard. The other benefit is that both characters are extremely strong, so if you stick with them, you’ll be decently hard to deal with as you get better. The downside is your 1p and 2p execution has to be on point and they hate each other, so your natural rage generation is going to be pretty poor.

So this is my advice:
If you’re planning on playing seriously or playing TTT2 for the long haul, go DJ/Hehachi
If you’re planning on playing not so seriously, I’d imagine DJ/Lars would be pretty fun

Dont be another Lars pleeze man, he is a lame char … like ryu in Sf i keep hoping he is killed off
