Namco has just tweeted that the console version of TTT2 will have "A ton of exclusive characters". This is something that Tekken games have steered clear of for several years in order to support the arcade scene. More specifically in Korea and Japan. I personally am very disappointed to hear this, as I think it will negatively affect the world wide competition of the game. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the exclusivity of these console only characters will only be for a limited time and they will be patched into the arcade version via Tekken.Net. How do you guys feel about console exclusive characters in the next Tekken game? I'm hoping for Sonic the Hedgehog...ugh. The console version is slated to be released in September.

Okay okay im not saying this or that, but now there is potential to....
Armor King twins to appear and that shit rocks if they make it happen!!!!
I know they wont but i hope they will not do any fucking retarded stupid ass cunts into the game. We need those MURDERER kinda characters that have balls of steel and so powerful kinda moves that when you hit them to your opponent feels like you are hitting the person you hate the most. I want someone like Marduk to kick some ass and no silly ass slapping bitches or mega fat people flying around the place and specially no faggots like Lars.
Cheers!
there is two reason for this fact:
> when i see this i can expect that tekken 7 will be on ps4 , it take a long time to realize a new tekken ,for tekken 6 it took 4 years between 2005 and 2009 to play that on console. the realize of the ps4 its plan to be product at the beginning of 2014 because the new xbox coming soon and we are on 2012 so you can see that the intention to make some new character for tt2 is not a random they want to do that now because they running on time which make sense. so tekken cross street would the last tekken on ps3.
.tekken don't have a big community in usa even across the world i from ivory coast in west africa and we don't have to many people playing tekken ether ,so to bring more people i think they should focus on a very deep training tutorial because this game is not easy to master. Just like aris say you need to play two tekken to be good and i think this is true that was the case for me. but today we have youtube and some web site to teach you how to play the game but guess what this bullish***t because those site only help the people who truly deserve to be good at this game but is not going to bring more people. so i think namco wanna create more character or guest to interest other people to see the potential of this game but i don't think this choice would effect new players others why they would have to make some dam very good and cool character.
The problem is easily solved. The owners of the arcades just have to get a TV and a console with the game. What's important about arcades is the environment, not the cabinet itself.
Exclusive content on the consoles is such a minor issue.. Arcade players got to eat for a whole year, its our turn.. Let us eat...
they fucking up the game with adding more characters which they are already too much characters with too much moves list and too much frame data and tons of shit to study.
I think Tekken team have too start to improve the game starting with decreasing the number of the moves list in each one to %50 or %65 in some other characters. and balance it well.
I am glad that SCV is between our hands.
@defx
I agree 100% I am glad they pushed up the release date get it to the community early this is great I cant understand why anyone can have a negative response to this news..... really crying about "A ton of exclusive characters" so if it is sonic who the fuck cares TTT2 drops this fall. The new characters knowing namco's track record are more then likely to be free and I highly doubt that any of the would be in high level tourneys and bet the house that more people will show up for EWGF this fall then SCV.
I really hope they're old characters from previous games. This Tekken Team should stop making any new characters for a few years just to concentrate more on gameplay. Harada et al. have been trying too hard to bring in people from the casual market or the smash bros. community so we've been getting these gameplay elements like bounces and 1 v 2 tag battles. These aren't horrible additions, but they're things that make people slightly uncomfortable and at times just turn people away.
Maybe Harada just wants people to play his new shitty campaign mode to unlock gunjack or kuni.
IMO
for the exclusive Chars
possible:
Angel
Alex
Combot (with changed mimic property)
Dr.Bosconovic
Forest law
Kunimitsu
Michelle Chang
Ogre (Human form)
P.Jack
Unknown (as a selectable balanced version)
most unlikely:
Tiger (is a skin in T5 or T6)
Gon (is licensed)
Gun jack (Jack 6 has alreday moves with Guns)
Tetsujin (was a skin in T5 or T6)
Nancy-MI847J (to big to Op)
Azazel (to big to OP)
Violet (is Lee as a skin)
Devil Jinpachi(to Op maybe with rebalance)
could be:
some new Chars like in T5DR ,T6BR
Oh no!!!
Not more charactes, please!!! The game is already a total mess for newcomers with 43 characters with 100+ moveslists. More character means more strings and frames to learn.
Also, this is directly on consoles?? How will Namco be able to balance then correctly?? We know how valuable the arcades are for removing glitches, infinites and toning down overpowered characters...
And they're releasing it in September??? So soon?? That can not be good. I would rather wait til December and have a better training mode, than have it in Sept with a shitty useless practice mode...
I don't like this at all....!!
if they will create more characters please design them property! Not another bob or miguel!! But cant wait!
hopefully they will also create a daytime stage for the factory stage.
I would rather have a design like Bob or Miguel over Alisa or Lars...anyday.
no where did i find them saying that the characters would be console exclusive. come now Aris
Sorry guys, I don't care. Mainly because I no longer have an arcade scene here. (last one closed down last year)
Still I really hope this doesn't mean lame guest characters and shit. Really most of the tekken cast is already there, who can they add?
It better fucking not be Gon or Doctor B either...
Is everyone forgetting Miharu Hirano from T4? HA!
