Up until a couple of months or so ago, people were still playing Tag2 over here.
The good old days.

His Yoshi has been demoted to pocket character #1.
However, there are plenty of new Yoshi's to watch out for.
UK: Kaneandtrench, Trollimitsu
Korea: Eyemusician, Wujustyle
JP: Kari, APO
Edit--
More Yoshi trolling. Lol

Hahaha, to good.
As of whatever build they're using, Kuma only has one outfit. His alt outfit. It comes in four colors.
Hopefully things won't be this dire on release. Hopefully it's just a very unfinished prerelease build. Hahaha. Yeah.

I'm bummed Marduk didn't make the final T7 roster. MAR DOOK!!!
There's a lot of characters I want to try since I have only casually dipped around with T6 and TTT2.
Which of these characters are easy to pick up and learn?
Steve Fox
King
Lars
Kazuya
Paul Phoenix
Heiachi
Bob
Akuma
Dragunov
I literally like all of these characters lol, and could see myself maining any of them. I would say Steve Fox is my favorite of them all though.

I'm no authority but I've read that Steve plays very differently to most Tekken characters so I'm not sure how much knowledge would transfer if you decided to pick someone else later.
I'm also maining Steve, btw.
I think I remember reading that too long ago. I think I also heard that you don't want to mess with the Mishima boys since EWGF is hard to do perfectly for bread and butter combos.
Can't get you a link now, but just check Youtube for Bruce BnB combo's in Tag2.
In my opinion going from Hardest ---> Easiest
Kazuya
Steve
Heihachi
King
Paul
Dragunov
Bob
Lars
Can't comment on Akuma.
Edit:
Deserves to be mentioned but anyone that wants to have a quick description and overview of each character should look at Fergus's guide:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yqgxbES6su4clpQou2hzlZN40rpPBtwmMRKWfexbj3g/edit
Definitely play Steve if he is your favorite. Yeah, he ain't easy but if you like a character that much the learning process will be great.
And the easiest on that list imo are Paul, Bob and Dragunov.
They matter when you want to win in a high pressure situation. The easier the character, the less likely you will botch the execution that could potentially lead to your demise. Easy characters also allow you to reach a more competent playing field with less time spent in practice mode trying to understand/be able to execute the techniques of your preferred character.
My subjective opinion of the easiest characters are: Jack, Lili, Lars, Bob.
I can't comment yet on the newer T7 characters.
Fergus did a better job giving summaries of characters than I ever could:

Have a look at that to see how difficult/easy characters are and what their strengths/disadvantages + character traits are. Check out the Jin page to see what he's about.

thanks, this is great. it seems like they wrote Kazumi just for me "Recommended for players who like * Short moveset and simple gameplan * Easy execution * Rushdown oriented poke heavy playstyles"
also interested in Asuka, Katarina, Jin and Claudio. Need to read more. (oh and King too but I know that may not fit with me, still going to play him especially if I can make it rain.)

Based on playing to max potential:
Moderate - Bob, Lars, Paul
Somewhat difficult - Steve, King, Drag
Difficult - Kaz, Hei, Akuma
Generally the more difficult to pick up (execution required and overall knowledge) the more rewarding they are when played to max potential.
Ex: Hei without electrics is still solid, with, is a beast.
Ex: Akuma without EX cancel knowledge is meh. With, is a terror.
Nah, more than likely it'll be that boy who was in Bruce's T5 ending after a timeskip.

Once you get into all the stance parry stuff he gets a little trickier. Watch footage of Hao using his more esoteric stuff.
Actually, Steve is also pretty hard execution-wise if you want to go for max damage combos and decent mix-ups because of the constant cancelling of moves into stances and stances into other stances.
Most of that stuff is more tied to knowledge though, so you're mostly right.
I'm not. My characters' rage arts are pretty easy to execute, so I'll keep the buttons for other stuff.

Good, she never should have replaced Bruce in the first place. Dudes had been asking for an Eskrima practitioner from the Philippines and he opts for a busty crying chick with another character's moves instead
I've always liked doing the input for raging demon so nope. Shaheen's is also just both punch's so it's not really needed. Would rather use the button for LP+HK or LK+HP since I struggle with doing those inputs quickly (if I ever need to).
Yea, I'm aware of Hao. And none of his tools/stances are hard to use. Newer players maybe overwhelmed because he has so many good moves, but that's literally it. And like with any character it's best to limit yourself first and keep it simple.
Oh wow, this is great.
I don't play Feng at all, and I wouldn't understand Fergus's reasoning behind Feng's 'medium' difficulty either but one of the things which probably make him harder to play is the awareness of spacing when punishing. For example his hopkick launcher doesn't have the best range so even if you blocked something launch punishable you have to be aware and knowledgeable enough about the range of his limbs to land the proper punishes consistently. His shoulder is beast though.
And for however easy Feng may be, It's even easier with characters like Jack/Lili/Bob/etc.

I'll take what I can get. Josie's my main from now on out.Good, she never should have replaced Bruce in the first place. Dudes had been asking for an Eskrima practitioner from the Philippines and he opts for a busty crying chick with another character's moves instead
That is a surprisingly accurate recap and that bothers me...
They are aware of what was established in the first games but still treat a certain characters as some throwaway joke
