tekken tag tournament 2 has my favourite stages and music in the series
and the roster and tag mechanics too? honestly this might be my favourite tekken game
oddly enough, it is impossibly deep in regard to competitive play, yet also features so many additional game modes for more casual players

 

[Yousef Yousef]

LOOOOOL
I laugh so hard any time TTT2 is mentioned out of the blue
That game was pure meme
Definition of fighting game bloat
Everyone got scared by it and honestly you will not meet a human who mastered every single matchup in that game unless they’re lying
It also gave us this

And this

Because harada woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and made a Wii U of his family Cliff throwing simulator
Never change.

This is the funniest tekken image of all time.

while it is true this game was a competitive hell, you could remedy this to a degree by only choosing a two of the higher tier/overtuned characters and stomping randoms in perpetually laggy ranked matches online
on thinking about it this game was a hellscape in any competitive sphere

Yeah i should reiterate most of my comments were observations. Tag 2 was bizarre in the best way for me.

i think bizarre is a good way to put it
i will outline my thoughts on ttt2 in greater detail:
the huge roster made playing at the highest level a bit of a nightmare as tekken is a pretty knowledge heavy legacy fighter
but that huge roster did make it a dream for casual play at both high and low levels with friends as you could play for three hours and not play every combination of characters
the balance was generally alright with mishimas being pretty high tier
although in laggy online ranked world i recall eddy and christie being nightmare creatures
and the plethora of offline modes made the game a bit more friendly towards players who didn't want to play online constantly
i forget completely if i was trying to make a point of some kind with all this

Yeah
Knowledge checks were insane and this was before execution timing was toned down
It’s easily the most purist tekken there is

Just saw this on my recommended feed, I'm definitely going to watch it later; love Thorgi's Arcade. As long as MvC4 has Punisher, Daredevil or Moon Knight I'll be a happy man, preferably all three but that's probably asking too much.

Hey don’t you dare forget about my favorite marvel character; functions.

I mean I feel bad for Infinite given that it was such an atrocious release, a complete misfire in almost every conceivable way save for some of the roster choices, but I feel so bad for Combofiend there. He gets hired by Capcom, probably had really good ideas and optimism about the game and likely loved how he was the PR spokesperson for his own community, then Capcom made him go out there and say that infamous excuse. Combofiend, the man famous for playing mid and low tier characters (everyone thought Spencer was useless until BIOOOONIC ARM at EVO), was contractually obligated to say "characters are just functions" about Marvel, a game famous for having memorable and fan favourite characters. It's just so sad, that game is just so unfortunate on so many levels.

Ah yeah for sure. My heart goes out to combofiend.

Not sure how many of you played Idol Showdown but it is a fighting game based on Hololive and has rollback netcode. It was also shown at EVO at different tournaments. Still gets regular updates to this day.

This one of the recent characters released two weeks ago:

A character's taunt is a great way to showcase the personality of a fighter. Do you have any taunts in fighting games that stick out to you for one reason or another?

Here are two of my favorites:

Cable can spin his gun repeatedly by continually pressing the taunt button. It wasn't necessary to add by the devs, but it's a really neat touch.

Additionally, Makoto's 3S taunt! Love the focus shown here.

i miss the You are too slow from Sonic in Smash bros brawl if we consider that a fighting game :3

Or basketballs.

Robo ky from XX, accent core plus R is pretty great and had fun moments from it, even if I was in receiving end of a endless feeling electrocution as well.

More than a taunt, it is a victory pose

Josie's taunt in Tekken 7 is to cry. Using it against an opponent who's throwing a tantrum would be the best thing ever.
