Characters

If you haven't created a character yet then this information might be useful to you. As of the time of writing, the most successful characters in the "world wide championship" are Paul and Panda. I don't believe there is a weakest character or at least there shouldn't be (if there is one, it's definitely Yoshimitsu). According to the Twitter and Facebook page, each character is designed to be strong against some and weak against others. As of right now, Paul and Pandas are dominating the scene, with Nina and Lili not too far behind. Last week it was Xiaoyu and Nina. Next week it could be anyone, even maybe Heihachi.


Each character has a different play style and strengths and weaknesses. After I completed an "A" Yoshimitsu deck, I regretted it because I wanted to play as Kazuya. I will probably stick with Yoshimitsu till I have 3 of every card and all the SR cards, including the power card.



Kazuya is kind of an average fighter at first, but when his HP is low, his card effects tend to overwhelm the opposition.



Paul's cards have extremely high damage, but usually have negative effects as a tradeoff.



Law is a rather well rounded character with mid to high base damage and cards that negate the opponents card effects.



Yoshimitsu's cards are average base damage and the card abilities are quite weird. He has a very large assortment of tricks but the thing unique to him is the power to conceal his cards (not that useful at all) which is currently 'not working and will be improved/fixed'.


Xiaoyu draws cards fast. Her cards are usually 10 damage with the exception of a few. She is one of the few characters that will probably play strike more than focus.


Nina is a rather well rounded character as well. I believe she specializes in healing. Like Xiaoyu, she also has many ways of drawing cards without actually focusing.


Lili has many abilities, the ones I notice the most are her parries. I also see a lot of ways for her to draw cards without having to play focus, sometimes this involves the opponent drawing a card as well. She also have mid to high base damage on many of her Punch cards.


Panda hits as hard as Paul. She doesn't have much heal or any reliable heals but her SR card has the highest starting health and many of her cards come with protection to make up for the lack of healing.

How I picked my character was Law because I wanted to see him do a somersault in the animation (this never occurs by the way). After a couple games I got the feel of what the game was like (I only had bronze cards) and I began to explore the buttons on the user interface. It led me to logging out and because there is no option to create a password at start, I abandoned that account and made a Kazuya deck. I mustered enough credits to buy an ultra pack, opened it and got a golden Yoshimitsu power card. So I sold all my cards and started a Yoshimitsu deck.

About

Hi and welcome to my Blog!

This is my first blog and my first post. I am just a normal person who enjoys playing many games, particularly Tekken Card Tournament for IOS/Android/Kindle. I created this to help other people out with the game and to further develop the community. I think Tekken Card Tournament is a great game that involves thinking, a bit of math, logic and reading your opponent. Tekken Card Tournament has not been out for long so there are still some kinks that the game designers and developers are working on. As time goes on I am sure the game will become more refined and people will begin to appreciate the depth this simple mobile game has to offer.

First off, I play Yoshimitsu and have an "A" deck (14 Gold cards, 1 SR card , and a Gold Power Card). My Online WW championship rating is fluctuating near 1290 - 1312 at the time of writing. I will try my best not to be biased towards Yoshimitsu but I am sure that will happen anyway. Most of my posts will be associated to Yoshimitsu, his cards, strategies etc. I will try to post interesting information for other characters as well, but as of right now I only have a Yoshimitsu deck so don't be surprised if most of my posts involve Yoshimitsu.

Second, all my posts are entirely my opinion meaning that they could be right, could be wrong so take what you read with a pinch of salt. I try to do my best to be informative and objective but everyone makes mistakes =].

Lastly, please feel free to leave a comment and I will do my best to reply to them. Don't be scared to ask any questions or challenge what you read. I am always open to new ideas and opinions. If you would like me to look into a specific card (at the moment, Yoshimitsu ones only) don't be shy. If you want me to give my thoughts or ideas about something just let me know through the comment page. Feedback is also greatly appreciated.
