My Tekken Tag Tournament 2 interviews continue with Tyler Bustinza, also known as Tyler2K. A fixture in the Norther California Tekken scene, Tyler has a pair of Tekken sites that fans should check out: www.tyler2k.com and www.tyler2k.info. Known for his prowess with Sergei Dragunov, Tyler2K sometimes has problems against certain characters. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
Tekken is pretty balanced, so you can get destroyed by anything if you don’t see it coming or if you’re not expecting it. Interestingly, I didn’t like going up against Steve Fox in Tekken 6 because he had a lot of tools and he was pretty high-tier. In Tekken Tag Tournament 2, because he’s lost a lot of his gimmicky, crushing nonsense, he’s much easier for me to play against so I don’t mind facing him so much. It’s the same with Lars Alexandersson. He was pretty much a counter-pick for Dragunov in Tekken 6, but because they nerfed a lot of things for him he’s not so…for a lack of a better word, B.S. in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. In Tekken 6 it was definitely Steve and Lars that gave me a hard time, but in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 I don’t mind so much because they lost a lot of their nonsense. They’re still very good characters, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that they lost a lot of their nonsense again my character.

Stop. I’m too tempted to go buy the new Tekken. I’ve spent enough this week in glasses, phone, and TL2!
