The Beginner's Tekken Dictionary/Basics Thread

Nice Post

Man I haven’t played Tekken in ages, I think the last Tekken I might have played was 3 on PS1. I really wanna get back into this series again, I dont have the money to buy anything right now but when I do, Tekken will certainly be on the list. I see that T6 BR is pretty popular and that it only came out in 2009, but now they’re making TTT 2 and they said that it will come out after SF x Tekken. So do you guy still think T6 BR will get a lot of play even after TTT 2 comes out or is it smart to just get TTT 2?

Question: I picked up T6 last night, and I haven’t touched Tekken since… About a month after I picked up T4 for PS2…
I used to use Bryan/Bruce or Kaz/Jin in TTT… Tried Julia in 4, but hated the game (though I loved her P2 costume)

Who’s good to learn for beginners? This game feels totally different than the older ones. Like, how 3 felt after playing 2 forever.

I can’t seem to wrap around my old characters… Bryan, Bruce, Kaz, Jin, Hei, Nina, and Lee… Any advice on where to start in that regard?

One more question… T6BR is the one on PS3, yes? I’m getting mixed answers from Google.

LOL I have no idea if this is a trolling comment or not! I am no where near qualified to answer this but I shall give it a shot. Yes, T6BR is on the PS3/360. Out of your old character choices I would say: Kaz and Nina are definitely not easy to use. Lee and Bruce are easy/moderate. I am not sure about Bryan, Hei or Jin. Most of the new characters: Lars, Alisa, Bob, Leo and Miguel are fairly easy to use. I am sure if you re-post this in TekkenZaibatsu forums you may get better answers. If you have then more power to you. Right now I am practicing Kazuya’s EWGF, one of the hardest moves in the game. I can get it out 40% of the time but getting better at it slowly.

I’d rather not go to TZ… I have one account… I don’t need more.

EWGF… that’s the dragon punch?

f, neutral, d, d/f+ RP

That’s “hard”? I can do it all the time… The one with the wave dash (Is that still in 6?) was the one that always gave me a hard time…

I think I used to link 2 of them in TTT, followed by some other random thing… maybe part of his 10 string?
I really haven’t touched Tekken in YEARSSSSS

Bob… He seems really fast… Top tier? I do dig Lars though…

Yes and no… there are two notations for EWGF. F N D/F+2 and F N D D/F+2 the main difference is that the second command moves you forward a bit. The standard WGF move is 15 frames and easy to pull off but the EWGF is 13 frames and is a just frame move. The D/F+2 must be done at the same time with in a 3 frame window.

There is a difference between them. You will hear Kazuya go “DORIYA”. You can connect 5 or 6 of them and its a fast punisher. It is difficult to master. Getting it 100% of the time at varying intervals from wave dash and applying it is the hardest part.

Tiers don’t matter too much in Tekken but yes Bob and Lars are on most peoples “Top 10 list”

Ahh gotcha. See, stuff I didn’t know! :slight_smile:

Thanks. Imma play with Lars though… Seems cool… And I’m really digging this Steve guy too…

Am I the only one that figured out that Lee Chaolan could do two (2) bounds in one combo in the first year that Tekken 6 BR was released? I used to do it all the time until they patched it out. All you had to do was launch your opponent, then juggle with 2 left/right combos, bound them, then use his down/forward LK - RP -LK combo move to launch them towards the wall, then bound again after wall splat, and repeat the combo move again. If done correctly this used to give Lee a very impressive 12 to 15 hit combo. Just thought I should share that. :slight_smile:

On TTT2 what is Lar’s new attack during Silent Entry and what’s the input?
