Level Up Your Game - Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue - System Mechanics

[polobear1975]

True! is sooooo cute!

[laquanthedon]

I like how they brought the ko replay back

[hayatevo]

Guys the balcony breaks even when you do a tag assault, try it

[Ksharp1fan]

this game is gonna suck

[ZyxBlackwind]

@01kaitokid Press 2 to break tag throws and 2+5 while you are on the ground with a ragged partner to use tag crash.

[TailsSu]

Thanks guys, I was alittle unsure on how TTT2 tag system worked (tag assault and that sorta stuff) but now it's been explained to me perfectly, I'll be sure to link this to other people. Thanks!

[HinataChan30]

>_>

Are you THE Rip, of Steve fame?

[webterrestrial]

LOL Like the eyebeams!!!!

Hey Rip, when you're expounding on something MYK said, it'd be cool if you don't go too long without facing True, because it's a 3 man convo. Hope you don't mind the friendly suggestion. Nicely done again fellas.

[Ksharp1fan]

@webterrestrial

I think you're sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.

[rmnhn]

interesting tidbit about netsu and tag assault is that when a netsu'd character is attacked during a tag assault, since tag assaults trigger the opposing team's partner's netsu/tag crash, the active character's netsu is cancelled out. so yeah...

[tommygalore111]

tag crash is shit

[godofdeath121]

is it only 4 playable caracters on this game?

[Quake2815]

@godofdeath121 this is a demo so yea. all tekken characters are on it except one or two

[RuskoBorysy]

when the real tekken tag 2 is comeing out with all charactors?

[SCORPZ0001]

@RuskoBorysy Christmas 2012

[L337v1n337]

I think i need a tekken PhD

[nicocachero]

Many new things and old things comming back...

All we need is to play the game as soon as it hits our place, stop worrying about new things; tekken was made to be enjoyed anyway...

[cris4thewin1991]

there's one thing that I don't get: during a tag assault who loses the red life? the first character, the second or both?

[joelsoh]

@cris4thewin1991 If you initiate tag assault, the tag character that jumps in loses red life. So, the "second" character I suppose.

[CraigBarduk]

You guys are awesome! BTW, how about an episode of Bogus Journeys with Aris? Eh? Eh?

[hehabomba]

Have to say thanks, I didn't understand the all the tag system very well, the guide book in tekken hybrid wasn't that clear with only a few page introduction

[boxinghands]

it would be a mistake not to use the sticks for tagginglike in ttt1, changing your game would suck big time, harada!!!! unless you send me a free joystick....the only bad news about the game otherwise loving it

[brucenatelee]

@boxinghands Exactly. I'm use to the Tekken 2 set up with the shoulder buttons before you could change them to whatever you wanted.

[brucenatelee]

Sad to hear that the tag button is R1. I use all my shoulder buttons based on the Tekken 2 configurment with left throws = L1, righht throws = R1, both punches = R2, and both kicks as L2. Can I move it to the right analog stick like in TTT1? I hope so, or it'll ruin my playstyle, especially my King, Nina, and Anna Combo Throws (gave up on Bruce years ago).

[TheN4Fi]

thx guys! good job! :)

[kekkan]

I live in japan and I get to play this game when ever I get the chance but God all the wins I ever get is on my Tekken fundamentals only the japanese arcade sticks are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I don't see how people play with those things. I don't know why they stop letting you use your home controllers.

I won't be able to get good in this game until some time because of such ass controlls and alot of arcades don't have TTT2 so there is only a few places to go.

[Tyrik73]

@kekkan They should let you use your home controllers like in Tekken dr(I played at a arcade one time and they said io could use my controllers for it).

[kekkan]

@Tyrik73 Ya they took the feature out and thats not good if you can't use the crappy sticks the game comes with. The shit has no resistence I might as well be using a wii controller if I can't get force feedback.I can't wait for a home release to this game because it is pretty crazy and alof of things they talked about in this video like red life managment people still don't do so there is so much new stuff to learn.

[Onizuka4ever]

@MYK: at 3:17 I can see that you got your t-shirt signed by Katsuhiro Harada (Hei-smilie). But on your right side, who signed with all these hearts?

@LUYG: I just got Tekken Hybrid today. Great tutorial as usual.

[immortal4hm]

Tekken is the BEST! WOOHOO!!! \^o^/

[Spiriax]

Good stuff, guys! Thanks for this. I'm getting the prologue today!

Regarding the Tag Crash, I've seen it sidewalked a couple of times. :) So it seems you can punish it if you really predict it.

[Jassique]

@LevelUpYourGame

at 5:30 True says "there is a movelist on the official tekken website"

i cant find this movelist. can you give me the link?

thx

[Dreamoon0321]

@Jassique

I cant post a link~

just go to the japanese official website~

go to Tekken tag 2, u will see the move list right the way!

[600baller]

wow cyclops...

love these tutorials

[Kraahkan]

I got a question... How did you make Player 1 have the Tag 2 versions of the costumes? I can't seem to do it :P

[BlackV4You]

@Kraahkan Try pressing start when choosing char!

[HeyItsMax97]

@BlackV4You @Kraahkan Actually you can't, You're forced to use the blood vengeance costumes uness the other player chose the character before you.

[Kraahkan]

@HeyItsMax97 which sucks, because ven if I like the costumes, I want to use the default ones sometimes >_<

[lilleboff]

Good shit

[DrkVrtx]

Thanks guys, been watching a lot of TT2 on TekkenReplays and have been too entranced by the combo potential to take note of the mechanics. Not a Tekken player myself, but I think it's good to have an understanding of the underlying mechanics to improve the watching experience : )

[awokai]

the red life bar was in tekken tag 1,too..and with tag team juggles you can reduce the red life bar,too..so it is nothing new

[FightersGeneration1]

Great episode as usual guys! Now, one thing I found odd and interesting is that I've seen a balcony break happen during a Tag Assault combo in arcade TTT2. (I can send you a link to a gameplay video that shows it). Sooo are they removing it from TTT2 eventually with an update or...? Yeah, I'm pretty confused now. :)

[krisqz]

Can you set flick on the right stick as 'Tag' button? Like in first TTT?

[brucenatelee]

@krisqz Being the third guy on the front page to mention this, besides me, should let people know how important it is. I don't wanna have to buffer 2 or 4 before a throw, and it'll ruin my throw combo game.

[joelsoh]

@krisqz In prologue, it doesn't seem like you can.

[EightyDx]

good video, made my head hurt

[LevelUpYourGame]

you're confusing the basic notation system (f,b,u,d,1,2,3,4,5) compared to notation for individual moves (where you USE the notation system to write out a full move). Tekken Tag 1 the running cross chop move was f,f,n,1+2 - Tekken Tag 2 running cross chop move is f,f,f+1+2

[Yosogoto]

@martino007 Last I heard, Jin/D.Jin tag like everyone else. Kazuya apparently has some button command to transform, as Devil is not on the select screen.

[Naroon201]

@Yosogoto I think Kaz's (and Jin/D. Jin's) transformation is u/b+1+2.

[gieroadsteve]

Rip loking like Kor.

[Yosogoto]

I can't wait for the US release. It HAS to be coming; why a console demo if no console version?

My planned team is Xiaoyu and Leo.

[martino007]

@Yosogoto That means my planned teams will be of Course Hwoarang/Baek, Jin/Kazuya, Heihachi/Kazuya, Xiaoyu/Dragunov, Bryan/Miguel, King/Armor king, Armor king/Jaycee, Eddy/Christie, Paul/eddy, Dragunov/Lars, Nina/anna definitely, Jin/devil Jin for transformation, Asuka/Jun, Jun/ogre, Eddy/Marduk, Paul/law, Possibly Jun/Unknown for console, Jin/Bob, Bryan/Bob, Feng/Dragunov, Raven/Dragunov, Paul/Dragunov & Hwoarang/Dragunov.

[bludika]

@Yosogoto i know how you feel man, i want this game now so badly too! I hope they are not spending too much time on different modes and etc, i only need the practice mode and the online mode and of course the customization mode, even in tekken 6, i don't even bother playing other modes. JUST GIVE ME THE GAME HARADA-SAN!

[xtionluver]

seriously men....... game's just released and u all r superfast on this ..........!

[MattiaEsposito92]

Great tutorial, I always expect the best from you guys. can't wait to get my hand on my TTT2 prologue copy!

[genjuroSE]

@LevelUpYourGame Great job guys. The only thing I was missing in the vid was a expanation around netsu. Is there any other way to get it except tag assault?

[LevelUpYourGame]

@genjuroSE Thanks, just added this in through annotation as well - "Netsu can also activate when a character has taken ~60% damage. This percentage may change depending on your tag partner and the teams cohesiveness"

[IPiccaso]

@LevelUpYourGame in a tag assult when you tag in your partner highlighted in white how many hits is he able to do before your main guy takes control again ?

[joelsoh]

@IPiccaso As many as you can land. It only switches back if you do any one string from your move list, or start doing a string but stop on purpose.

[Quicksilver0981]

@LevelUpYourGame just 1 more thing, can you execute a tag buffered launcher after a launcher? for example, kazuya: ewgf, ewgf(tag buffered launcher) and then continue?

[Tyrik73]

at 0:37 actually what he says is false a lot of stuff(besides regular gameplay changed a bit with Tag Throws,Tag assaults and attack change(if you played Tekekn Tag1 you know what this is).

[andymrb]

Music's too loud... IMO

And I wish I could like to see more examples of tag combos, tag assaults, and wall combos. But I guess it'd have make this video too long. Oh well..

Still, great job guys.

[JavaEFA]

Really informative! 

[Phoenix117UK]

Pretty concise summary of the system changes, I didn't know about the first hit of a TA! at the wall not counting as a standard wall hit.

[5600113]

did true lose some weight? xD
