Arcadia's Compiled Tier List for TTT2

Arcadia, Japan's premiere gaming magazine, compiles this tier list information via input from top Japanese Tekken players, including Fukushi and Yuu, so the information is based more off high-level competition than popular opinion.

 S – Devil Jin, Kazuya, Heihachi
 A – Nina, Feng, Steve, Bob
 B – Lars, Leo, Jinpachi, Armor King, Jack-6, Bryan, Hwoarang, Dragunov, Lee
 C – Marduk, Jaycee, Bruce, Lei, Ganryu
 D – “the rest”
 Uncertain – Ling, Miguel, Paul (These characters aren't regularly used in Japan.)

 Now bear in mind that this tier list for TTT2 is very early and this is Japan, were tiers tend to fluctuate in a short moments notice. This is also more about how good they are overall and not so much matchup based (For example, Steve may be good here but he still loses to most of Zaf's crap, completely like how it's a bad match up for him in T6.) In Tekken, remember that you're percentage of winning is based on the tools you shall, learning the frames and moves that are good, sidesteppable etc. and exploiting the weaknesses of your opponents. This is what makes Tekken a good fighting game because in a sense, the worst characters can compete with the best characters. Sure, it will be hard but that's what makes it fun. DORYA!
