Hey all, I’m pretty noobish. Just picked up TTT2. What are some pretty easy characters to learn Tekken with? I want to learn Bob, cause he looks hilarious, and was thinking either Jun, Anna, Nina, Michelle, or Asuka looked fun to play too. Are any of them easy to pick up? Any suggestions are welcome.
On the character front, I think Bob, Jun, and Asuka might be your best bets starting out.
^Includes a small list of beginner characters.

Well if you are new player. Learn how to play with mishimas first (DJ, Jin, Kaz, Hei) and learn how to wave dash. Trust if you know how to wave dash this makes playing tekken a whole lot easier.
Example: back dashing is like wave dashing backwards and knowing how to back dash mean a lot because it can make your opponent whiff out a lot of moves.
Next is throws. Learn how to break throws on reaction by seeing the arms.
Mishimas are not beginner friendly characters…they take good execution. To the op though Bob is a good character to start out with as a beginner. So as Asuka and Jun.
Yes true that mishimas are not beginner friendly but this is how you come a good all around player. If you watch vids of Japs/Koreans they all know how to use mishimas but not everyone uses them. They learned tekken by learning mishimas because of the WD/BD. Remember just like any other fighting game spacing is important.
If you want to learn how to play Tekken, the number 1 thing you must prioritize is movement, movement, and MOVEMENT. I am talking dash cancelling, sidestepping, and all that. When you do watch pro’s play, you will notice alot of dancing and dash cancelling. That shit is so important its not even funny. Once you got your movement down, then look for the more important moves and try some simple bound combos. Just practice and be patient with it, because Tekken is a fast paced game.
I wish you luck!
